Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 205 Bloodline Completion, Perfect Immortal Body

Late at night. The core area of ​​the underground laboratory at Gaowu Manor.

Sosuke lay on the operating table.

His upper body was naked, revealing well-defined, muscular physique.

"Phase Two, Preparations Begin."

Chiba was wearing a mask and holding a pale red syringe in her hand.

That was the [Vortex Life Factor] extracted from Kushina's blood and cultivated and multiplied hundreds of times.

"Mr. Sosuke, your bone marrow replacement has been completed."

Chiba looked at the data on the display screen next to him.

"Your bones are now three times stronger than those of an average person, and your hematopoietic function has also mutated, giving you the characteristics of the Kaguya clan."

"However, this also has side effects."

"Your metabolism is too fast, and your cell division rate is increasing, just like Hyuga Masaru did back then. If you don't introduce a new source of life force, your lifespan will be shortened."

This is the short-lived curse of the Kaguya clan. Their powerful bones require the burning of life force to maintain.

"Therefore, we need the blood of the Uzumaki clan."

Sosuke looked at the red medicine.

"Inject it."

"Yes."

The needle is inserted into the vein.

The red liquid was slowly pushed in.

"Ugh————"

Sosuke frowned.

It wasn't as painful as the last bone marrow replacement. This time, it felt warm.

Scalding hot.

It felt like magma flowing through my veins and throughout my body.

Every cell began to move, greedily absorbing the life force of the Vortex Clan.

Through the monitor's lens, Sosuke witnessed a miraculous scene.

On the surface of his cell membrane, a strange, sealing-like pattern began to appear.

That's dominant expression at the gene level.

This texture locks in the energy within the cell, preventing it from being lost excessively.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Sosuke's breathing was heavy and hot; his body temperature was rising, and his skin was slightly red.

But he felt great. Better than ever before. His body was overflowing with energy, full, even a little too much.

"Chakra levels are skyrocketing."

Chiba looked at the monitor, her voice trembling.

"Increased by % —————— % —————— and it's still rising!"

"Is this... the physique of the Uzumaki clan?"

The inducing factor alone can produce such a terrifying effect.

The injection was completed half an hour later.

Sosuke sat up and clenched his fist.

Click click.

The bones made a crisp sound.

He felt as if his body was an iron barrel that had been reinforced countless times. No matter how much force was poured into it, it could withstand it.

"The container is now complete."

Sosuke stepped off the operating table.

He walked up to the mirror.

The person in the mirror is still him.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that his hair, at the roots, has a faint hint of dark red.

That's a characteristic of the Vortex bloodline.

"Although it's not as pure as the true Uzumaki clan, it's enough for me."

Sosuke put on his clothes.

"Chiba, prepare for the next phase of the plan."

"You mean—"

Intercolumnar cells.

Ambition gleamed in Sousuke's eyes.

"With this container, perhaps I can try to fuse with the legendary Wood Release power."

Of course, not now.

He needs time for his body to adapt to this new vitality.

Moreover, he needs a more sophisticated solution.

He didn't want to become a tree, nor did he want to become a monster with only the instinct to kill.

What he wanted was the perfect immortal body.

"Um?

"

Just then, Sosuke suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"My gut feeling tells me—someone has broken in."

The power of the vortex greatly enhanced his perception, making it extremely sharp. This was a unique talent of the vortex clan.

Ten minutes later. In the courtyard.

Kaori squatted in front of a precious orchid.

"Boss, look."

Sosuke walked over.

The orchid withered. Not naturally, but it turned into grayish-black dry grass.

On the orchid's leaf lay an extremely tiny insect. It was dead.

It was a black beetle, no bigger than a pinhead. Its mouthparts were extremely ferocious, and its abdomen was swollen, with an eerie purple hue.

"This is... a poisonous insect?!" Sosuke's pupils contracted.

"Ryoma?" Kaori asked.

"No, I'm very familiar with Ryoma's insects; they're not that insidious."

-

Sosuke shook his head, looking around; the barrier was still intact.

"Is the barrier reacting?"

"No response," Kaori replied.

The barrier can block ninjutsu with large chakra fluctuations, and it can even block living people.

But these little insects—can drift in with the wind.

"It seems someone is still thinking about me—who could it be?"

Sosuke's expression was grave.

"Chiba!"

"exist!"

Chiba ran over carrying a bunch of instruments.

"Take this bug back for testing. I need to know its capabilities. Also, activate the highest level of bio-defense in the lab."

"yes!"

Sousuke turned to look at Kaori.

"From now on, the manor is on high alert."

"This insect could be a scout, or it could be the source of the plague."

"If you feel anything unusual about your body, even just the sensation of a mosquito bite, tell me immediately."

"clear."

Kaori's expression was serious.

"I will find all these dirty things, one by one."

Konoha, in a sewer somewhere.

In a dark, damp corner, a person sat cross-legged.

He was wearing a gray trench coat and a pale mask on his face.

A ring of black mist surrounded his body.

Those are hundreds of millions of tiny poisonous insects.

-

He is the "insect." The most perfect biological weapon from the roots.

He has no emotions, no memories, and even the sense of pain has been stripped away.

He held up a finger. A tiny beetle flew back and landed on his fingertip.

"Intelligence acquired successfully."

The insect's voice was hoarse. He took out a scroll and wrote down all the information the insect had sent back.

"Target: Takaya Sosuke."

"Mission: Investigate the secrets of its laboratory."

"Mission complete."

The insect stood up. Countless venomous insects burrowed beneath his skin, making him look like a moving insect nest.

Night falls. The Gaowu Manor is brightly lit.

The air was filled with the smell of insecticide—it was insect-repellent smoke that Chiba had hastily prepared.

Underground laboratory.

-

"Mr. Sosuke, the results are in."

Chiba stared at the microscope, his face pale.

"That insect — has a biological structure that stores visual images and sounds."

"It's not here to kill. It's here to—steal secrets."

Zongsuke's eyes narrowed.

The experiments in the basement were his biggest secret. The genetic secrets of Kaguya, Senju, and Uzumaki—if revealed and obtained by someone knowledgeable—would have unimaginable consequences.

"Who exactly is the other party?!"

Sosuke's eyes were gloomy.

This method reminded him of Root. But Danzo was dead, and Root had been destroyed.

Are they remnants of the Communist Party? Or spies from other villages? Or perhaps—"Ze," who has been observing from the shadows all along?

"No matter which one it is, this place is no longer absolutely safe."

"Contact Hyuga Katsumi and ask him to come over."

Ten minutes later.

A dark figure landed in the backyard of the Takao Estate.

Hyuga Katsumi.

"Mr. Sosuke."

Hyuga Katsumi entered the laboratory.

"Something happened?"

"A mouse has come in."

Sosuke pointed to the insect under the microscope.

"I need you to help me figure out where this thing came from."

Hyuga Katsu walked up to the microscope and took a look.

"Roll your eyes, open them."

This time, his white eyes instantly became incredibly deep, as if they could pierce through the void.

Within that ultimate vision of pupil power, the world became gray and white lines.

He looked at the insect.

At a microscopic level, extremely faint chakra fluctuations remained on the insect's body.

"Did you see that?" Sosuke asked.

"I saw it."

"I have memorized his chakra fluctuations. As long as he remains in my sight, he will not be able to escape when he uses his chakra."

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thick layers of earth and walls, scanning the darkness outside the manor.

With his extraordinary vision and X-ray vision, there are no secrets in Konoha at night.

He saw the patrolling police, couples cuddling in the alleyways, and civilians fast asleep.

Countless chakra points flickered in his eyes, but—nothing.

I can't find that chakra fluctuation.

Hyuga Katsu frowned. To improve accuracy, he mobilized his chakra to the maximum extent, further stimulating his optic nerve.

Our field of vision expanded once again.

Until he is 100 kilometers away, that is his current limit.

Still nothing.

"Can't find it."

Hyuga Katsutoshi withdrew his gaze.

"The other party is very cautious."

"He completely concealed his chakra fluctuations. If he doesn't use ninjutsu again, I won't be able to find him in the vast sea of ​​people based on his chakra fluctuations."

Sosuke nodded, without any hint of blame.

"As expected."

"Since they're coming for me, they must have made thorough preparations."

Sousuke turned around and looked at Hyuga Katsumi.

"If we can't find it, let's leave it for now. Sheng, you've come at the perfect time."

"Now that you've come this far in your pursuit of power, wouldn't you mind taking one more step forward?"

Hyuga Katsuya also noticed the culture tank next to him that was still bubbling.

There, the red [Vortex Life Factor] is stored.

He understood what Sousuke meant.

"Mr. Sosuke, this is—"

"This is the power of the Uzumaki clan."

Sosuke's eyes were filled with fervor.

"Your body contains the power of Kaguya and Senju. Now, I will imbue you with the power of the vortex."

"You will no longer need to rely on Gentle Fist to suppress the mental erosion of Hashirama's cells, nor will you face any more life-threatening risks. You will become—a true Sage Body."

"More importantly—"

Sousuke stared at Hinata Masaru's disdainful look.

"The Uzumaki clan possesses extremely powerful sensory abilities. If this sensory talent could be superimposed on your Byakugan—"

'

"Your insight will no longer be limited to seeing. You will possess a comprehensive, all-encompassing field of absolute perception."

Hyuga Katsu was greatly shocked by Sousuke's description.

For the Hyuga clan, this evolutionary path is simply perfect.

This is simply the ultimate creature born for war.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took off his shirt, revealing a body as sculpted as rock. Along his spine, a prominent bony line lurked like a dragon.

"Come on, Mr. Sosuke."

"I believe you."
