Chapter 728: The Unexpected Appearance of the Lunar Man!
Chapter 728: The Unexpected Appearance of the Lunar Man!
Ling Tangping was surprised to see that the young man was blind.
With pale skin and short blue-white hair, he had no eyes beneath his slender eyebrows and wore white clothes, with a Trigram Eye pattern on his neck.
Great Sage of the Moon!
An unexpected person who shouldn't be here.
He should be on the moon; there's no way he could appear here!
When Tang Ping ambushed the father and son, he captured Great Sage Chokuto, but the son managed to escape by chance. Tang Ping had even planned to use the 'Earth-Moon Passage' to eradicate them completely.
For some unknown reason, he couldn't find the pond where the passage was located and had to give up.
He had let the son go, but he never expected him to appear in the Ninja World.
And the reason for his appearance, which differed from the original storyline, was obvious.
Revenge!
However, it wouldn't be easy for him to find Tang Ping, the 'true culprit'.
During the ambush, they had specifically changed into Akatsuki uniforms.
Now that he had appeared here, although Tang Ping didn't know how he had entered, he was surely here for revenge.
Amazing!
The target of his revenge seemed to be Akatsuki.
As for the possibility of him clearing up the misunderstanding with Akatsuki?
Impossible.
If the misunderstanding had been resolved, Xiaonan would surely know about it.
Therefore, this was likely the first time he had met Akatsuki, and Tang Ping didn't know who had brought him here. It seemed like there was some entertainment to look forward to.
Regarding Chomen, who had been driven mad by the collaboration of Byakugan Wolf, Zetsu, and Han, Tang Ping didn't have the luxury to sympathize with him. He was simply enjoying the show.
After reaching the Ultra-Shadow Rank, some characters he had once feared immensely were now just like that.
What enticed him was the body of the Great Sage of the Moon...
The last time he obtained Great Sage Chokuto's body, it had brought about the Rebirth Eye for Hyuuga Sotsuki.
And the bloodline of the Great Sage of the Moon was even purer; if he obtained the body, he might gain another pair of Rebirth Eyes.
What a treasure!
Tang Ping forced himself to control his gaze and sent a message to Hyuuga Sotsuki.
'Be careful, the Rebirth Eye might be sensed by the Great Sage of the Moon!'
This message made it clear to the latter how to proceed.
The Great Sage of the Moon on the moon was too closely related to the Hyuuga clan and possessed the giant Rebirth Eye, so it was very likely that he could sense it.
The Great Sage of the Moon stood coldly to the side, his eyeless pupils staring at the surgery with a deeply hidden expression of hatred, which he concealed extremely well.
When Akatsuki had ambushed his father for his bloodline, one could imagine his attitude towards such surgery.
It could only be said that everyone present had different thoughts.
They had reluctantly joined the organization due to Pain's strength and Akatsuki's protection.
Both Xiaonan and Chomen were well aware of these people's intentions.
But they didn't care!
Akatsuki was a mercenary organization; they didn't need loyalty, only obedience and adherence to the organization's rules.
"Orochimaru, you'd better control your gaze, or I'll pluck it out!"
Xiaonan frowned and warned Orochimaru upon seeing his expression.
Although she wasn't afraid, she disliked that gaze.
It was like a snake staring at its prey.
"I'm just curious!"
Orochimaru didn't provoke Xiaonan further.
He knew very well that even if he provoked Pain, the latter wouldn't care.
How could a 'god' possibly care about an ant?
But if he provoked Xiaonan, Pain would definitely take action, and even if the others didn't join in, they would enjoy seeing his misfortune. So, it was best to show some respect.
"You'd better just be curious!"
Xiaonan said meaningfully.
How could she not know his target? As long as he didn't make a move, they wouldn't bother him.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the surgery.
A sinister feeling was rising from that direction.
Four corpses were slowly being sucked into the body of the person in the middle, who wore an experimental robe, had pale white hair and red pupils, and a gaunt, ghostly appearance.
Hiryuko!
He was also a classmate of the Sannin.
However, under the brilliance of the Sannin, he was completely overshadowed, and in the end, he defected from the Hidden Leaf Village due to his research on the forbidden technique, the Devil Bud Technique.
To be honest, his true mistake wasn't researching forbidden techniques, but rather, it was because he wasn't from the Hokage Lineage.
Human experimentation!
For others, it was a deadly endeavor.
But when it came to the Hokage's own people, it was a different story.
The Second Hokage's research on forbidden techniques was so extensive that even he might not remember them all. Who has ever dared to oppose him?
When it comes to evil, even if the Devil Bud Technique is evil, can it compare to the Summoning of the Dead?
Researching forbidden techniques isn't a crime, but daring to research them when you're not from the Hokage's faction is a crime.
"Hahaha!"
"As long as I merge these bloodlines into one, I'll be invincible!"
"Come, become my power!"
...
As the experiment neared success, Hiryuko's emotions grew more intense, speaking like a typical evil scientist.
'Villains die from talking too much!'
Tang Ping sighed in his heart.
Didn't he see the greed in the eyes of many around him?
If it succeeds, it might be 'When old friends meet, they stab each other in the back!'
But Hiryuko deliberately demonstrating the Devil Bud Technique in front of Akatsuki must have another purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so foolish as to show off in front of such a dangerous group of S-Class Rogue Ninjas.
However, none of this concerned Tang Ping; he was here to watch the show.
With his knowledge and experience, as long as he saw the other party's creativity and approach, there would be more than one way to replace or enhance it. That's why he truly looked down on the forbidden technique.
"So that's how it is..."
At this moment, Tang Ping also understood the other party's approach.
It was to weave one's own flesh and blood into flesh buds, infiltrating the target's body, disguising them as a part of the body, growing into a "tree," and then retracting the grown flesh buds back into the body, allowing one to acquire a bloodline limit.
A brilliant approach!
However, there were too many technical challenges to overcome.
The most critical aspect was the rejection reaction!
Combining different bloodline limits into one, allowing one to possess multiple bloodline limits, was a challenge off the charts.
If it were Tang Ping, he could skip this step due to the Transmigration Potion.
A huge harvest!
This thought flashed through Tang Ping's mind.
Just as he was pondering, the surgery changed.
"Ahh!!"
Amidst the loud screams, the surgical instruments were tossed aside, leaving only Hiryuko enduring endless pain.
Even though he had modified his body, attempting to absorb four bloodline limits at once was too greedy, and he was now suffering the consequences.
Hiryuko's body continuously cracked and healed, as if something terrifying was raging within.
Indeed, that was the case! Four bloodline limits clashed violently within him.
Without the Transmigration Potion, he could only rely on his own researched techniques and his body to endure.
If he could withstand it, the fusion would succeed; if not, he would die.
From these aspects, his Devil Bud Technique was only a half-finished product, and this time, he was gambling with his life.
For ordinary people, this gamble would surely result in ten losses out of ten attempts.
But for a 'villain' like him, it wasn't easy to fail. If it were that easy to die, how could he qualify as a villain?
The members of Akatsuki showed no change in expression at Hiryuko's miserable state, let alone offer any help.
Survival of the fittest!
Only by surviving could one qualify to join Akatsuki; if they died, they weren't one of them, so there was no need to pay attention.
Soon, Hiryuko's screams subsided, and the strange state of his body gradually stabilized.
Clearly, this was a sign of the Devil Bud Technique's success.
Seeing the other party's success, several people had already started plotting with ill intentions.
Neither Chomen nor Xiaonan would care about their private conflicts as long as they completed their tasks.
