Chapter 296: The Byakugan's Dominance Over the Mangekyou Ability!
In the mountains not far from Whitefish Port in Cha no Kuni.
"Damn you, Uchiha brat!"
A masked monster slowly extracted the hearts of several wild ninjas around him with its tentacles and inserted them into its new body.
Kakudo!
He reappeared, having been at a disadvantage in the previous clash of powerful techniques. But he wasn't completely out of the fight.
His concern was the enemy's reinforcements.
There were still two Kage-level powerhouses in the Celestial Fortress, and if the 'Purifying Flame' and 'Storm's Wrath' arrived, escape would be difficult.
Even though the intelligence suggested that both were at the Celestial Fortress and hadn't come, he still had to be cautious.
What if it was a deliberate misinformation?
For safety, he chose to abandon the hearts and flee.
As a result, Kakudo not only failed in his mission but also suffered significant losses.
Those hearts were hard-earned, and now they were destroyed, which was why he was so furious.
Whoosh!
Sheets of paper flew out of thin air and assembled in front of Kakudo, forming the figure of a person wearing a black robe with red clouds and a high collar.
"Kakudo, Akatsuki hopes you will join us!"
Konan asked, but she wasn't going to be polite if he didn't play along.
With the opponent in such a state, she couldn't guarantee a complete victory.
But in this condition, dealing with him wouldn't be a problem.
Once he was brought back to Akatsuki and met Pain, there would be no doubt about his sincerity in joining.
...
The Celestial Fortress!
Dong Ping was unaware that after being beaten by Uchiha Meika, Kakudo was forced to join Akatsuki by Konan, who took advantage of the situation.
Even with their cooperation, it would still be challenging to capture Kakudo without Pain.
Oh yes, she was also extremely interested in the Sand Ninjas.
Because Dong Ping had told her that a Sand Ninja's forbidden jutsu was essential for reviving Yahiko.
Given Konan's position in Akatsuki, infiltrating the Sand Ninjas to obtain the jutsu wouldn't be an issue. Once she confirmed some information about Chiyo, Dong Ping could take action.
Once he acquired the forbidden jutsu, 'Rebirth of the Self', he would immediately have a stable and worry-free path to resurrection.
After all, the prerequisites for this resurrection method had already been met.
What is the biggest challenge of 'Rebirth of the Self'?
It's exchanging one life for another!
But what if it was a White Zetsu's life?
There's no need for concern; a White Zetsu's life is still a life, and with its powerful vitality and abundant chakra, it can be used as material without issue.
Just don't use it to revive super-Kage or Rikudou-level individuals; an ordinary White Zetsu will suffice.
After acquiring a large number of White Zetsus in the Mountainous Tomb, they could control them with genjutsu and use them to perform 'Rebirth of the Self'.
In other words, they had no shortage of 'materials' for the jutsu.
After all, not just any ninja could use this technique; at the very least, the chakra requirements had to be met.
Although there was still some time before the resurrection route was fully established, Dong Ping's current focus was on the progress of the extraordinary organs and assimilating the benefits obtained from the Sky Ninja Village.
He was particularly interested in the technology that converted dark emotions into chakra, as it could instantly provide the Celestial Fortress with a powerful weapon.
For example, it could directly usher in the 'Industrial Age'.
Don't think it's impossible!
The Sky Ninjas' manufacturing base already had electricity and machines.
In places like the Lightning Country, electricity was used on a large scale, and the technology for the Industrial Age was already in place. The only reason it hadn't been implemented on a large scale was the ongoing wars, scattered territories, and the opposition from nobles and ninjas.
The nobles weren't foolish; they understood the benefits of industrialization but were hesitant because it would diminish their power and status. This was why the Sky Ninjas could experiment with such technology, but the Five Great Ninja Villages couldn't—a clear indication of the power dynamics at play.
As Dong Ping continued his research, behind him were two large cultivation pods.
One contained a mass of flesh, its form still indiscernible, while the other held a pair of red horns.
These were the extraordinary organs prepared for Uchiha Meika! Having already prepared one for Hyuga Cangyue, they couldn't neglect their own fiancee. The cultivation had begun early, but financial constraints and time had slowed the progress.
Dong Ping's own extraordinary organ project, driven by his grand ambitions, had only recently entered the initial stages, making its completion a distant prospect.
As for the analysis of gravity technology?
Dong Ping expressed that there is no technology, only chakra.
It's a purely brute force approach, like continuously using chakra to perform the Light and Heavy Rock Technique.
The technique itself isn't particularly advanced, but the interesting part lies in its stable output and adjustments.
Regarding chakra storage technology, the key lies in the Zero-Tail.
The Zero-Tail is like a nuclear power plant, capable of storing an immense amount of chakra. By analyzing the Zero-Tail, there will be a qualitative leap in chakra storage.
The advantage isn't in the technology itself but in the approach.
With the foundation of the Sky Ninja Village, if they want to compete technologically with the Five Great Ninja Villages, they might as well be dreaming.
By utilizing the opponent's ideas and combining them with his own superior sealing technique, he can create even more powerful techniques in a matter of minutes.
For example, after his modifications, the gravity technology consumes half as much chakra but is twice as efficient.
It's an insane level of improvement.
However, now he needs to pause his research.
Because... the time is almost here.
According to his estimation, the Nine-Tails Night should be within these few days.
Although he can confirm Kyuhinane's due date with his medical skills, a slight mishap could change the timing, so he must prepare in advance.
Damn!
As soon as he stepped out of the laboratory, he saw a kite... no, a glider in the sky.
Remember the task he gave to the Hachidaime?
Organize a gliding wing competition! The rewards are also ready.
As long as one can pass the assessment and enter the official competition, they will be rewarded with an acre of rice paddy.
Yes, you heard that right; the reward is that exaggerated.
It's like holding a car race, and you don't need to win; just getting a driver's license will earn you an acre of rice paddy as a reward.
It's a mind-blowing reward.
Everyone knows how productive the rice paddies in the Celestial Fortress are, so one can imagine the value of an acre of rice paddy.
Even with over a hundred casualties from glider accidents, it hasn't dampened their enthusiasm; instead, they wish others would be scared off, leaving more opportunities for themselves.
After all, in the Shinobi World, life is cheap.
The current issue is the shortage of gliders.
There are only a few dozen!
But once the material problem is solved, mass production can begin.
It's still in the experimental stage.
In the Shinobi World, special materials are abundant, including wood harder than steel, sea creatures larger than aircraft carriers, and more. Materials are not a problem, and they are even better than those from before the time travel.
However, when Dong Ping saw Uchiha Meika, his expression became somewhat awkward.
He hadn't expected her Mangekyou Sharingan to awaken early.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how it happened, and she wouldn't tell him when he asked. Hyuga Cangyue also claimed to have no idea.
Nevertheless, she shared both of her abilities with him.
It was because her Mangekyou Sharingan had awakened that Dong Ping decided to bring her along on this mission.
Logically, he and Hyuga Cangyue should be more than sufficient, but who knows what unexpected events his growing influence might attract.
Having an additional Kage-level ninja is like buying insurance for this mission.
Especially since one of Uchiha Meika's two Mangekyou Sharingan abilities is extremely effective against Byakugan wolves. With her around, there's no need to worry about unexpected situations.
This Mangekyou Sharingan ability that counters Byakugan wolves is called 'Heavenly Rock Gate'.
The name is a bit of a mouthful, but the effect is excellent. It's like combining the Four Violet Flame Formation and the Dark Walk Technique.
In other words, it seals off a region centered around oneself, completely sealing off even the space and preventing enemies from seeing.
Although it doesn't give off the same domineering and powerful aura as Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi,
its practicality is unparalleled.
At the very least, it won't be like Amaterasu, where a single blow can reach the surface temperature of the sun, an unmatched physical attack, but with a track record of 0-5, there are plenty of ways to deal with it.
So, Dong Ping is more than satisfied with Uchiha Meika's Heavenly Rock Gate ability.
In the future, if anyone dares to provoke him, he'll just lock them up with Meika.
With her by his side, even if Dai To changes things, there's no way they can turn the tables this time.
