Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Chapter 188 The Final Piece of the Ghost Sprout Puzzle

"To bestow upon Daiming a sacred aura, making him an extraordinary being like the Sage of Six Paths."

Their method of resolving the conflict between the Daimyo and the Raikage was borrowed from the Land of Demons.

The crux of the one-country-one-village system lies in the fact that the status of the daimyo and the shadow is equal.

Then, why not use power as a price to elevate the status of the daimyo and turn them into symbols of the Land of Lightning, or priestesses of the Land of Lightning?

"According to our plan, the daimyo on site will serve as a symbol of the nation, and his existing powers or one-time rights will be transferred."

Power will be seized by Lord Raikage, who will swiftly unify military and political power to ensure the implementation of the rule of law.

Thus, Lord Raikage will become the central figure in ruling the Land of Lightning.

However, the Fourth Raikage shook his head and said with a worried expression, "It's not enough. Without a suitable mythological figure, it's difficult to elevate the sanctity of the Daimyo to a higher level."

"Since the daimyo has such demands and ideas, we must do our best to ensure that he does not back down at the last minute."

Giving up power is tantamount to handing a sharp blade to him.

Although the Raikage and the current Daimyo have been childhood friends, as a close friend, one should be more considerate of the other's feelings and ensure that the other does not take any drastic measures.

"The legend of the Sage of Six Paths is widely circulated, and it is the most extensive legend in the existing collection of books in the ninja world."

Other legends, such as those about death, may circulate in some regions, but they are ultimately too fantastical and unrealistic.

We possess a precious amber vase passed down from the Sage of Six Paths, upon which the lineage of the daimyo and their relationship with the Sage of Six Paths can be inscribed to increase its credibility.

Upon hearing this, the Raikage nodded in satisfaction and immediately decided to choose the Sage of Six Paths.

From then on, the lineage of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was descended from the Sage of Six Paths.

As for the amber vase, it was originally regarded as something belonging to the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and they claimed to be descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, but what is the basis for that?

Did they ever receive a personal acknowledgment from the Sage of Six Paths?

And isn't the amber vase a treasure we've always cherished?

From this day forward, Kinkaku and Ginkaku will no longer be descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, but will instead be chosen to safeguard the amber vase on behalf of the Daimyo lineage. Thus, what was said will come true.

"Once they complete the handover confirmation, I will send people to support you. You need to make preparations beforehand and also inform Mabuyi."

Samui nodded and immediately took his leave.

On the other side, in the Land of Earth.

Onoki sat in his chair, looked at the letter that had been delivered, and snorted coldly, "What support for the Land of Wind?"

That kid Lei Yan actually tried to take advantage of the chaos; he's just like his father, a complete and utter robber.

If we allow the Land of Fire to act as it pleases, we will inevitably find ourselves in a passive position.

The Kingdom of Wind must not perish.

Huang Tu looked at the letter in his hand, focusing on one piece of intelligence. He couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Now that Sunagakure is actually giving the Land of Fire an excuse, the Land of Fire will definitely take action."

The Sand Village ninjas stormed into the Konoha embassy and slaughtered everyone. Did they lose their minds after seeing the Sharingan in Shukaku's eyes?

Do you think that's true?

Onoki glanced at the yellow earth and said in a deep voice, "Koharu Utatane is quite strong. It would be strange if she couldn't even escape from the embassy and just died there."

Do you think it was the Hokage's scheme?

"No, Koharu Utatane has never had that kind of courage."

Onoki slowly shook his head, ultimately deciding not to continue his speculative discussions.

According to his estimation, there was a high probability that someone had deliberately trapped Koharu Tsutomu there.

If the Land of Fire intends to take action against the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning alone will not be able to stop it.

We must put enough pressure on the Land of Fire in order to prepare a response in advance.

"Yes."

After Huang Tu left the office, Onoki slumped into his chair, rocking gently and sighing to himself.

It seems that the Land of Lightning has already found a way to resolve the current predicament, but where exactly does the Hidden Stone Village find its way out?

The model of the Land of Fire was not suitable for them. Kirigakure seemed to have been prepared for this, and soon after the changes in the Land of Fire, it completed its own adjustments, but it was also not suitable for Iwagakure.

The daimyo is ignorant of military affairs, which led to the failure of industrial development. Now, only the Land of Lightning remains as an option. Hopefully, they can provide an answer that can ease the tension between Iwagakure and Konoha.

In the dimly lit laboratory, a chilling scene unfolded on the lab bench.

What was once a vibrant life form is now nothing more than a gruesome remains.

Most of its body tissues have been stripped away, leaving only a network of red fiber nerves.

These nerve fibers are intricately intertwined, resembling an extremely bizarre abstract painting.

Under the dim light, these red nerve fibers gleamed with a faint glow, as if they still held onto the last trace of life.

They trembled slightly on the lab table, as if silently recounting their past pain and struggles.

Beside the lab table, drops of blood dripped continuously, silently demonstrating the cruelty and ruthlessness of this surgery.

The room was filled with a pungent chemical smell, and the rest of the room was shrouded in shadow, with only the ghostly instruments emitting faint electronic sounds.

This scene creates a stark and striking contrast, in which time seems to stand still.

This makes one wonder whether this is the frontier of science or has already entered forbidden territory.

The laboratory door creaked open, and Orochimaru slowly walked in.

Looking at the scene before him, a smile crept onto his lips as he said, "Your research is truly chilling, Hiruko."

Hiruko, standing at the lab table, looked at Orochimaru and said, "What I'm researching is nothing more than unconscious clones."

And you have no right to say that about me.

In terms of the depth of our research, you and I are no different, and you may even have gone into more depth than I have.

This project was originally conceived by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru did not refute, but simply observed the condition of the humanoid cells.

Those nerve fibers twitched slightly, as if nodding in agreement.

Orochimaru said, "The progress is quite good. You sent me here precisely to demonstrate this, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruko turned his gaze to Orochimaru and said, "I've obtained a good research subject. Weren't you upset about missing out on researching Black Zetsu? Would you like to take a look?"

Hiruko stopped what she was doing instantly and walked to Orochimaru's side. This Black Zetsu was undoubtedly an excellent research subject.

After handing over the remaining parts of Black Zetsu's body to Orochimaru, Hiruko Hanaka arrived at her secret laboratory.

In Hiruko's secret laboratory, the Hyuga clones he preserved began to exhibit extraordinary qualities.

Its soul was infused into it, and its pupils had completely turned blue-white, radiating a mysterious and profound light.

At this moment, the clone frowned slightly, his expression focused and solemn.

He slowly raised his hand, the movement seemingly gentle, yet containing boundless power.

Suddenly, a palm was thrust out, and with a loud "bang," the wooden stake a hundred meters away exploded instantly, even though there was nothing in front of it and no sign of collision. Wood chips flew everywhere.

At the same time, a strange spatial shift seemed to occur in front of Hiruko, and everything around him gave him a sense of unreality.

"This... is this the spatial manipulation technique used by the Tenseigan? Directly inserting one's palm into the space in front of them," Hiruko thought to herself.

The Tenseigan possesses a wide variety of abilities during use, totaling six.

The Tenseigan Chakra Mode grants the user immense power.

By controlling gravity and repulsion, one can manipulate objects at will.

Absorb chakra and use your opponent's power for your own benefit.

Summon the Hamura statue to gain powerful assistance.

Controlling puppets, making them obey commands as if they were living things; and spatial manipulation—these are the amazing abilities just demonstrated.

Spatial manipulation can create spatial channels. The clone just created a small spatial channel and directly imprinted the power of the palm onto the wooden stake.

At this moment, there was a vortex in front of him and another 100 meters away, each just big enough to allow a hand to pass through.

Is this considered a unique eye technique exclusive to the Tenseigan?

Hiruko thought to himself that as he continued to absorb enough energy, the power of his evolved Byakugan was also constantly transforming.

He used his power again to create several spatial passages that he could pass through, and these passages were all at different distances and in different directions.

He carefully sensed it and discovered that the eye power consumed when establishing a spatial passage had nothing to do with the distance, but only with the size of the passage.

Furthermore, it can only be used within the Byakugan's field of vision, but the consumed eye power can be recovered, and this consumption will not have a negative impact on the body.

Compared to the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Tenseigan has far fewer negative effects and none of the drawbacks of the Mangekyou Sharingan. It maintains the stable characteristics of the Byakugan after its evolution.

It should be said that it is precisely because of the stable nature of the Byakugan after its evolution that its eye techniques are very difficult to change.

"Wait, why did I think that these six eye techniques were only available at the Tenseigan stage?" Hiruko suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misconception.

Because the Rinnegan was a finished product from the moment it appeared, without any evolutionary process, and the Tenseigan was the same, this led him to develop a misconception.

For example, if there is only the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan, but no Mangekyou Sharingan for comparison, how would others view Susanoo?

That would inevitably lead people to believe that Susanoo is a unique eye technique exclusive to the Rinnegan.

That's right, if there weren't examples of people using Susanoo with the Mangekyou Sharingan, everyone would think that way.

The Tenseigan is also achieved in one step, lacking the intermediate process of change, so he naturally assumed that those eye techniques were exclusive to the Tenseigan and were born only during the Tenseigan stage.

However, this may not actually be the case. As the final evolution of the Byakugan, the Tenseigan should theoretically also have stability as a characteristic of the Tenseigan. Its eye techniques are not as versatile as the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The abilities revealed by the giant Tenseigan have a lot of overlap with Toneri's Tenseigan. Among them, there are four eye techniques that are clearly linked to the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, and the other two are puppet control and spatial manipulation.

This might be a solidified form of the Byakugan's evolutionary stage, much like the Susanoo of the Rinnegan.

If we think about it this way, there should be an intermediate stage before my Byakugan evolves into the Tenseigan.

However, this is ultimately just speculation.

Afterwards, Hiruko transferred her soul back to her body and continued to inject the ocular power transformed from the Byakugan into her body.
