Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 142 Conducting the "Heavenly Demon" Experiment!

"Please sit down."

As the Third Mizukage's voice faded, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although everyone had expected it, they still breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the Third Mizukage's gentle words.

Then, the clan leaders looked at the Mizukage's office, which had been thoroughly cleaned by Mizuki Kei using Water Release.

I don't know whether I should sit down, or where I should sit.

After all, apart from the Mizukage's seat, there was nothing else there. You can't exactly sit in the Mizukage's seat, can you?

That's courting death!

Shang Yuanshi realized this was a good opportunity to show his loyalty, and then seized the opportunity without hesitation.

"Yes, Lord Mizukage!"

Then, Shang Yuanshi immediately squatted down, pretending to have a chair even though there wasn't one.

That's loyalty!

The Third Mizukage nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the clan leaders who were still stunned by the bizarre actions of the Upper Origin Stone.

The Hozuki clan chief was the first to react, and immediately squatted down like he was climbing on the raw stone.

Subsequently, the clan leaders imitated the posture quite well, half-squatting as they looked at the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage slowly walked to the window of the Mizukage's office.

The Water Shadow Building is very characteristic of the Land of Water. It is more than ten stories high and looks magnificent. From here, you can overlook Kirigakure.

"Clan leaders, you should have already witnessed Minazuki Kei's strength. This is my latest research result."

"By activating their bloodline limit, they gain immense power. Minazuki Kei is an example of someone who activated his Ice Release bloodline limit, which is why he became so powerful."

"What you call weapons of mass destruction, I want to emphasize here, is not directed at your ninja clan."

"Yeah yeah."

The ninja clan leaders unanimously agreed.

Although Mizuki Kei ultimately used it on their ninja clan.

But you can't say that this was the Third Mizukage targeting their ninja clan.

Otherwise, Minazuki Kei, who's been watching you closely, will personally come to talk to you.

"Although we had some misunderstandings in the past, I believe we can resolve them well."

"After all, we're all from the same village, we're all comrades, there's no need to fight to the death."

"Lord Mizukage, you're right!"

"It was a misunderstanding, everything before was a misunderstanding!"

The Third Mizukage calmly looked at the clan leaders below who had already submitted, and then spoke:

"The Third Shinobi World War broke out suddenly, and Kirigakure was not spared either; even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were all killed."

"The situation of the war is becoming increasingly clear. It is truly unexpected that Konoha has not been defeated, but instead is suppressing the four great ninja villages."

"For the future of Kirigakure, I need your help!"

"no problem!"

"That's what the Hozuki clan chief said firmly."

"The Third Mizukage is our benefactor! We'll do whatever you say."

"How did I become your benefactor?"

The Third Mizukage jokingly asked the Hozuki clan chief.

"The grace of not being killed is the greatest grace!"

This statement shows that the Hozuki clan leader was quite pragmatic.

"The reason why Kirigakure can become one of the five great ninja villages is because of ninja clans like yours who possess bloodline limits."

"But you alone are not enough now. Fewer and fewer people in the ninja clan are able to awaken their bloodline limit. We need stronger forces."

"Therefore, I spent a lot of effort researching and developing the Bloodline Limit Activation Technology. Using this technology, one can activate their own bloodline and even become a legendary yokai, just like Minazuki Kei, who is now a legendary yokai—the Yuki-onna."

"Next, I need the cooperation of all the clan leaders to improve the bloodline limit activation technology."

Upon hearing the Third Mizukage's words, the ninja clan leader's eyes flashed with excitement and worry.

They wanted to further advance their bloodline, but were also afraid of sacrificing too many of their people for this research.

"Don't worry, everyone. With Minazuki Kei's talent, being an elite Jonin is the limit. But he became a Kage-level shinobi. What does that mean?"

This shows that choice is more important than effort!

Seeing that some clan leaders were already tempted, the Third Mizukage continued to persuade them:

"There are two options for bloodline limit activation techniques: Heavenly Youkai and Earthly Youkai. If you are really worried, you can use the Earthly Youkai technique."

"Although I can't reach the strength of Minazuki Kei, my safety is still guaranteed, at least the mortality rate won't be too high."

The ninja clan leaders' hearts skipped a beat, and they involuntarily swallowed non-existent saliva; what the Third Mizukage said was simply too captivating.

Can that old clan chief withstand such a test?

"Lord Mizukage, I am willing to conduct the experiment to activate the bloodline limit of a Heavenly Youkai!"

Chief Kaguya stared intently at Mizuki Yoru with burning eyes. He had fought against Mizuki clan members who had awakened Ice Release before, but none of them had ever given him such a strong sense of death.

"Lord Mizukage, I am the head of the Kaguya clan. My bloodline is the most superior and my strength the greatest within the Kaguya clan. As the experimental subject for the Heavenly Youkai, I am undoubtedly the most suitable!"

The Kaguya clan chief's voice revealed a fanaticism. If he could truly become a celestial youkai, he would surely be able to awaken the Shikotsumyaku he had been longing for!

The Kaguya clan has always revered the strong, and the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) is a symbol of the Kaguya clan's martial prowess.

However, no one in the Kaguya clan has been able to successfully awaken the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse).

Including him, the clan chief.

"The Kaguya clan? Fine, I will personally conduct the experiment to activate the bloodline limit of the Heavenly Youkai for you."

The Third Mizukage looked at the Kaguya clan leader, who had taken the initiative, and said with narrowed eyes:

"You're the first one to take the initiative, so I'll personally conduct the experiment for you. The success rate will be much higher than if it were done later."

"I cleared out one floor of the Water Shadow Building specifically as an experimental site for Kekkei Genkai."

The Third Mizukage walked up to the group of ninja clan leaders who were squatting down.

"The appearance of a yokai is the result of a bloodline limit being activated to a certain degree. This is the future direction for Kirigakure."

"I hope everyone can unite and stop fighting amongst themselves; after all, you are all valuable resources."

"Using the original stone, right? I will devote all my energy to the research of yokai from now on. You will be in charge of the liaison between me and the ninja clan chief."

As soon as the Third Mizukage finished speaking, Uehara Stone was met with the attention of many ninja clan leaders.

Good lad, you can't forget your brothers in the future.

It was your brothers who pushed you to the top, which gave you this opportunity.

Although our initial intentions weren't very good, the final result was good!

Uehara was completely bewildered. How did he become the middleman between the ninja clan and the Mizukage?

We must hurry and report to Lord Danzo in order to get further instructions.

"Everyone can leave now. Clan Chief Kaguya, please stay. The results should be available tomorrow."

The clan leaders of the many ninja clans felt as if they had been granted a pardon after hearing the Third Mizukage's words, and they left the Mizukage Building one by one.

Only after leaving the Mizukage's office did he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it still feels unreal... Is this really the level that Ice Release can achieve?"

"Or is this the true power of a celestial demon?"

Standing on the stairs of the Mizukage Building, the clan leader of the Minazuki clan looked out the window at the frozen earth, as if the entire world was covered in ice and snow, stretching endlessly.

"If the Third Mizukage had used his full power back then, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

"This kind of divine power..."

Chief Minazuki longed for Minazuki Kei, wishing he could take his place!

"Is the Third Mizukage... a little different than usual...?"

Chief Gouju slowly walked down the stairs of the Water Shadow Building and spoke hesitantly.

Chief Gouju didn't believe these guys hadn't noticed the Third Mizukage's unusual behavior.

"The Third Mizukage is the Third Mizukage. Don't say things that affect unity anymore."

The Hozuki clan chief interrupted the Goji tangerine clan chief, paused, and continued:

"We'll wait for the results of Chief Kaguya's experiment before making any decisions..."

Chief Gouju nodded silently upon hearing Chief Hozuki's words, then fell silent and followed the main group out of the Water Shadow Building.
