Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Xuanma found a relatively precise word to describe his feelings.

This parasitism will subtly change his body, but it is far less effective than the effect of spreading Wood Release chakra.

"From now on, I can use these Eight-Tails chakra at any time, and they can also automatically absorb natural energy to regenerate."

"only……"

Genma frowned: "As it stands, it's impossible for the Eight-Tails' chakra to perfectly fuse with my body and become a power that truly belongs to me."

"Am I now... a different kind of Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Xuanma couldn't help but think of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers who had eaten the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

His current state is probably similar to that of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

"If I modify the [Settings] to perfectly integrate the power of the Tailed Beasts into my body, then by gathering the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts, would I be considered the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"It shouldn't count, as it lacks the Gedo Mazo."

"But the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is the shell of the Divine Tree, and the Divine Tree is still a tree. It's reasonable for me to extract some chakra, right?"

Xuanma's eyes brightened, and he gradually became excited.

This path is perfectly feasible!

"Xuanma, are you alright?"

Suddenly, Sarutobi Shinzan's voice interrupted Genma's thoughts.

He snapped out of his daze, suppressed all his thoughts, turned around and smiled: "No problem at all, let me heal your injuries first!"

As he spoke, Genma raised his hand and formed a hand seal, creating three shadow clones to heal Sarutobi Shinzan and the others.

Maruboshi Kosuke was quite surprised: "I didn't expect you to have mastered medical ninjutsu. You're a rare genius!"

It's not just rare, it's unheard of!

Sarutobi Masan secretly complained.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that since he had mastered the Wood Release technique of the First Hokage, it seemed reasonable for him to also master medical ninjutsu!

After all, the First Hokage was said to be able to heal any injury he suffered without using hand seals.

However, despite thinking this, Sarutobi Masan was still shocked when Genma's clone used medical ninjutsu.

He and Kosuke were one thing, their injuries weren't too serious.

However, Hasegawa Taku was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but Genma Mikaze healed his injuries in just over ten minutes, restoring his ability to move.

"This kind of medical effect... it's probably even better than Lady Tsunade's, isn't it?"

Sarutobi Masashi stared in disbelief at Hasegawa Taku, who was pale but able to get up and walk.

He wants a disciple like that too!

"Senior Sakumo is truly enviable. He has a genius son and an even more genius disciple."

Sarutobi Masan secretly sighed, filled with envy.

"Captain Zhenshan, what should we do with these prisoners?"

Xuanma asked.

Sarutobi Masan came to his senses and looked at the Cloud Ninja bound within the Tree Boundary, feeling a bit of a headache.

These are 23 prisoners.

There were only four of them.

After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Masan said, "We can only seal them away first and leave these prisoners behind, as they can be used as bargaining chips."

Xuanma nodded and had no objection.

These Cloud Ninja had been used as bargaining chips by him before; otherwise, the Eight-Tails' Eight-Tailed Beast would have been enough to destroy this place and kill Kosuke and the others.

Moreover, if you kill someone during a battle, that's fine too.

But killing prisoners of war is not an option.

Even if killing these Cloud Ninjas only brings him 2 points of his character's attributes.

"If I kill these people without any scruples, I'm afraid I'll have no more shackles in the future and will be able to carry out massacres to meet certain targets."

Xuanma was restrained.

After sealing the Cloud Ninja prisoners, Sarutobi Shinzan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Genma, are you facing an attack from the Cloud Ninja?"

Genma smiled and said, "Yes, but I already took care of it before I came, so don't worry!"

"However, although we thwarted the Cloud Ninja's attack and even caused them heavy losses, we probably cannot stop the Cloud Ninja from continuing the war."

"The next attack by the Cloud Ninja might even be on a larger scale. The village must be informed of this situation as soon as possible so that troops can be dispatched quickly."

Sarutobi Masan nodded: "That's what I think too."

"I will have the summoned beasts relay the situation here back to the village as quickly as possible."

"However, we'll probably have to hold our ground here until then."

"Genma, Kosuke, do you think we still need to divide our forces?"

Genma looked at Kosuke: "Senior, what do you think?"

Maruhoshi Kosuke didn't mince words and said directly, "With our limited forces, dividing them will only make us weaker, and it will be even harder to withstand a large-scale attack by the Cloud Ninja."

"Now is wartime, not a time for defense and vigilance. The best option is to work together to delay the enemy's advance until reinforcements arrive in the village."

Genma nodded immediately after hearing this: "I agree with Kosuke-senpai's opinion."

Sarutobi Shinzan then said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Genma clone to inform Senior Sakumo and the others to come and join us."

After saying this, he used a summoning technique to summon a large blue bird, which he then sent back to Konoha to deliver the information.

Genma also sent a clone to inform his teacher, Hatake Sakumo, and the others.

Because there were other teams, he didn't use his psychic powers to summon Jingyin and the others directly.

After doing all this, Genma sat down to rest under the tree and opened the [Settings Collection].

He previously had 9 points left in his settings, but now he has a total of 16 points.

All of these were spoils of war.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki escaped successfully, and the future Fourth Raikage was also unharmed. These two battles had no major impact.

Or perhaps the impact has not yet been substantially triggered?

After thinking it over, Genma didn't delve too deeply into it and immediately shifted his attention to how to digest the Eight-Tails' chakra within his body.

If I want to change the settings, where should I start?

Directly modify a sealing technique similar to the Ten-Tails' Coffin Seal to absorb the tailed beast's chakra.

"However, I absorb the tailed beast's chakra through my unique chakra refining technique. Perhaps I should start with the chakra refining technique?"

Xuanma pondered silently.

He quickly thought of the Rinnegan's abilities.

The Rinnegan's eye technique can absorb the chakra of tailed beasts and convert it into the user's own physical strength.

Edo Tensei Nagato absorbed Killer Bee's Tailed Beast chakra, and Uchiha Madara absorbed the First Hokage's Sage Mode chakra.

Chapter 85 Danzo Doesn't Feel So Good Anymore

at night.

But the Hokage's office was brightly lit.

Looking at the intelligence gathered by the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, the Cloud Ninja launched a war so quickly.

Such speed suggests that the Third Raikage made a decisive decision as soon as the delegation returned to Kumogakure, and then the advance force rushed to attack.

The good news is that the Cloud Village's surprise attack was thwarted, and the Cloud Village suffered heavy losses, while the Konoha side suffered no casualties, which is almost unbelievable.

However, after seeing Yufeng Genma's Wood Release, everything made sense.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had never witnessed Genma's Wood Release technique, but he knew about it. He had previously said that the technique was not yet perfect and was not suitable for actual combat.

I never expected that something so big would happen, and they almost took down the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure.

"The Eight-Tails, Kumogakure has actually sent a Jinchuriki to the battlefield."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked solemn.

This is not a good sign.

In this situation, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was almost captured by Konoha. The next attack by Kumogakure will not only be a matter of increasing troop strength. So, will the Third Raikage appear on the battlefield?

With a worried expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up and ordered his son, "Shinnosuke, you immediately lead the available Anbu to support Sakumo and the others."

“I will arrange reinforcements overnight. Once the reinforcements arrive, you will be responsible for bringing the Cloud Village prisoners back to the village.”

The prisoners captured by the Wind-Riding Black Horse must be put to good use!

Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately nodded: "Understood, I'll set off with my men right away."

After saying that, the person disappeared.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open, and Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado filed in.

Danzo actually only returned to Konoha from the Land of Rain today.

"Hiruzen, I heard that Kumogakure has launched a war against us. What's the situation?"

As soon as she entered the dormitory, Xiaochun hurriedly asked questions.

Hiruzen Sarutobi handed over the intelligence report, which Danzo immediately took.

"Thanks to the Wind-Riding Black Horse, the situation has stabilized for the time being, and the Cloud Village has been repelled. However, we may have to face a large-scale attack from the Cloud Village next."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained.

Koharu and Mitokado immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
