Chapter 751: S+ Item Extraction Scroll
Chapter 751: S+ Item Extraction Scroll
After becoming the leader of the Shinobi Alliance, Mu Yue's daily life didn't undergo significant changes. The only difference was that instead of handling the affairs of Konoha and the Shinshu, he now managed the affairs of the entire Shinobi Alliance, with most of his time still dedicated to researching breathing techniques and Sage Arts.
His breathing techniques remained the same, but as Mu Yue's proficiency in the Sage Mode increased, he gained insights into the method of sensing and guiding natural energy through breathing.
This was a significant breakthrough, and once he perfected it, everything else would be minor issues.
[Disciple Uchiha Shizui's strength improvement promoted police force reform, changing the extreme ideology within the clan, and making progress in eliminating the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha. Reward: Chakra +8000, S+ Item Extraction Scroll, and a significant increase in Yin Chakra nature understanding.]
As time passed, Shizui finally completed the remaining 0.4% of his life task, settling the 80% progress reward.
The 80% settlement reward significantly increased his chakra, doubling the amount gained from the 70% progress reward. Simultaneously, his understanding of the Yin Chakra nature also increased, directly raising Mu Yue's Yin Chakra nature transformation proficiency by 1200 points.
The former, a few million chakra increase, meant little to Mu Yue, who now possessed a considerable amount of chakra. The latter, however, was a decent reward for him.
After all, the higher the Chakra nature transformation level, the more challenging it was to increase proficiency, and 1200 points were indeed a substantial improvement.
With Shizui's various rewards, along with Mu Yue's class rewards and his own cultivation, Mu Yue's Yin Chakra nature transformation proficiency had now surpassed 12,000 points.
In contrast, his Yang Chakra nature transformation was not as impressive, currently standing at only half of the Yin Chakra nature transformation, around 6000 points.
The primary reason for this disparity was Mu Yue's Byakugan.
Ever since its evolution, Mu Yue's Yin Chakra nature transformation proficiency had increased significantly, and his self-cultivation speed had also accelerated.
This was why the gap between the Yin and Yang Chakra nature transformations had become so pronounced.
Mu Yue turned his attention to the Item Extraction Scroll.
The system rarely rewarded physical items, and this high-grade S+ Item Extraction Scroll was the first of its kind that Mu Yue had obtained.
Setting aside his pen and paper, he washed up before starting the extraction.
As Mu Yue clicked to use it, a massive spinning wheel appeared before him.
Mu Yue silently confirmed his choice in his mind, and the wheel began to spin rapidly. Finally, the needle landed on a region with an earring pattern.
[S+ Item Extraction Scroll consumed. Obtained item - Poltara Earring.]
"It turned out to be this."
Mu Yue was a bit surprised as he looked at the golden earring lying quietly in the system space.
Mu Yue was no stranger to the Poltara Earring, a treasure of the King of the World in the Dragon Ball world, primarily used to temporarily fuse two people into one.
"If the localization effect isn't too different, this is already a good draw in an S+ extraction scroll."
Mu Yue thought to himself.
The Poltara Earring was simple to use, yet its effect was both crude and powerful.
Normally, two average Chunin working together would not be a match for a Jonin. But if these two Chunin used the Poltara Earring to fuse, the outcome might be entirely different.
Additionally, if the two people using the Poltara Earring had a special relationship as both opponents and close friends, the fusion effect would receive an additional boost.
Take Mu Yue, for example. If he had a friend with similar strength, their fusion might directly reach the Six Paths level.
Mu Yue took the earring from the system space and went to the prison, where he used Genjutsu to hypnotize the imprisoned criminals to test the effect of the Poltara Earring.
After all, it was a tool that fused people, and Mu Yue couldn't possibly test it on himself or his disciples; it would be troublesome if something went wrong.
Fortunately, the Shinobi Alliance had recently captured many rogue ninjas who threatened the peace of the Shinobi world. It's a good opportunity to let them contribute a little more."
After testing for a few days, Mu Yue discovered some differences in the localized version of the Poltara Earring.
In the Dragon Ball world, the Poltara Earring could not be actively disengaged; it could only be undone when the time was up or with external intervention.
However, the localized version could be disengaged early by dissipating the chakra.
Furthermore, the localized Poltara Earring, after fusion, could surprisingly allow the users to decide whether to fuse their souls based on their will.
If they chose not to fuse their souls, the fused body would contain two consciousnesses, somewhat similar to a Jinchuuriki and their Tailed Beast.
The advantage is that two people can work together, one fighting and the other refining chakra.
The downside is that without soul fusion, it's difficult to perfectly control all the techniques of the new body.
For example, if Daito and Kakashi were to fuse, and Daito were in control of the body, although this body could perform Thoughtless One Stroke, it might not be executed as well as Kakashi.
Similarly, if Kakashi were to control the body, he might not be able to use the Sharingan as effectively.
In general, if it's the first time fighting as a fusion, soul fusion is a better choice, as it allows the full potential of the fusion's strength to be realized.
If both parties are already accustomed to the fused body, then not fusing souls is also a good option.
Having an additional consciousness in the body can accomplish many things.
Aside from these differences, Moon did not discover any side effects of physical or soul fusion.
However, out of caution, Moon conducted further experiments for a period of time to ensure there were no issues before heading to Konoha to gather his disciples within the village.
He didn't plan to keep it for himself, as no one in the current ninja world could use the Potala Earring with him.
Namikaze Minato might have some compatibility with him, but his strength was far inferior.
In this situation, giving it to his disciples was a good choice.
It was hard to say about the others, but the compatibility between Kakashi and Daito was definitely at its peak.
Upon receiving Moon's notification, his disciples quickly gathered in the Southern Forest.
"Teacher Moon, do you have an important mission for us?" Daito asked eagerly.
With Namikaze Minato now the Hokage and the new regulations clearly stating that the total term of the Hokage could not exceed fifteen years, Daito was full of enthusiasm and had already started preparing for the Hokage election fifteen years later.
"No, I recently obtained a good ninja tool and wanted to see if any of you are suitable users for it," Moon answered with a faint smile.
"A ninja tool? Teacher Moon, I'll go first!" Daito volunteered without waiting for Moon to finish.
Moon thought it was good, so it must be a great item.
"Let me finish speaking first," Moon said, shooting out a burst of energy that struck Daito's head. He then took out the Potala Earring from the system space and introduced its effects.
"Wow, fusion, and it can perfectly combine all abilities!" Daito's eyes lit up. If he were to fuse with Might Gai, wouldn't he possess all of Might Gai's taijutsu?
Fusing with Shizui would grant him Shizui's Sharingan and a wealth of ninjutsu.
"There's actually such a mysterious ninja tool," Kakashi exclaimed in surprise.
With their strength, if they used this earring, they might surpass powerful figures like Enma, the Third Generation Kage, and become the strongest in the ninja world under Moon.
"If I use it with Daito, will the Sharingan change?" Shizui wondered.
According to Moon, Shizui estimated that his eye power would increase significantly.
After speaking, Moon placed one earring in Daito's hand and then turned to his disciples, asking, "Who wants to try it?"
"To have a stronger new body, that's truly youthful. I'll do it!" Might Gai showed his bright white teeth in a smile.
Moon nodded and handed the Potala Earring to Might Gai.
The two of them put on the Potala Earrings and infused them with chakra.
The earrings immediately burst into dazzling light, creating a powerful attraction between them, causing Might Gai and Daito to fly towards each other.
In the instant their bodies touched, a thick white light enveloped them.
Everyone present stared at the white light, curious about the appearance of the fused duo.
As the white light faded, the first thing that caught everyone's attention was the familiar green bodysuit.
Kakashi quickly looked at the head, which was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to him.
The resolute face made Kakashi think of Might Gai, but the eyebrows and eyes made him feel it resembled Daito more.
"Is this the price of becoming stronger? It feels like our image has deteriorated," Might Gai said, taking out a mirror from somewhere. Seeing himself in the mirror without thick eyebrows and a watermelon head, and wearing silly-looking goggles, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's obviously much more handsome now!" Daito loudly mocked, feeling that Might Gai's aesthetic sense was beyond saving.
Originally, his face had a bit of baby fat, making it look slightly round.
After fusing with Might Gai, his face looked more resolute and mature.
"Aki, let me try your taijutsu first.
Dai Tu spoke, saying that he had long wanted to try the feeling of the Eight Gates Opening.
Might Gai readily agreed, no longer interfering with the body.
"This body is so strong."
Dai Tu clenched his fist, feeling an unprecedented surge of power.
"Eight Gates Opening, Open Gate, Open!"
Dai Tu proceeded to use the Eight Gates Opening.
Strangely, despite never learning the Eight Gates Opening, he found himself able to utilize it within this body.
As he opened more gates, Dai Tu's aura became increasingly formidable.
"Seventh Gate, Shock Gate, Open!"
Soon, Dai Tu opened the seventh gate, unleashing a powerful burst of chakra that created a strong gust of wind, causing the surrounding trees to rustle loudly.
Whoosh!
Under the immense chakra, Dai Tu instantly transformed into a green light and vanished from his original spot.
Boom!
Dai Tu unleashed another punch, and the mere force of the wind from his fist toppled over a dozen large trees.
"Haha, Kakashi, let's have a one-on-one fight now, I won't use Divine Power."
Dai Tu excitedly turned to Kakashi and spoke.
"You're merged with Akai now, this isn't a one-on-one fight, it's both of you against me."
Kakashi firmly refused.
He would have to be a fool to accept Dai Tu's challenge.
The current Dai Tu was already ridiculously strong, just from sensing his aura.
Although they had both opened the seventh gate, the fused body was evidently much stronger than Might Gai's normal state with seven gates.
"Earth Style Chakra Mode!"
Dai Tu further concentrated his breathing to the extreme, enhancing his physical strength once more.
"Day Tiger!"
Dai Tu swiftly threw out both fists, striking the air at high speed and creating a terrifying tiger-shaped air bomb.
Boom! Boom!
A massive roar filled the air, and trees within a kilometer radius vanished, leaving behind a huge pit in the forest.
"So strong, if I also had Divine Power and Flying Thunder God Technique, who could withstand it besides Lord Moonlight!"
Dai Tu marveled at the terrifying destructive power of his taijutsu, laughing heartily. He then gathered chakra in his eyes, activating the Sharingan, preparing to use Divine Power.
"Hey, why can't I use my Divine Power?"
After opening his Sharingan, Dai Tu realized a problem. Due to the overwhelming chakra from the seven gates, he couldn't even utilize the Sharingan's abilities.
"The power of the Eight Gates Opening doesn't come without a cost."
Kakashi shook his head.
After carefully analyzing the effects of the Potala Earring, he had anticipated this outcome.
Among the current disciples, none were suitable for fusion with Might Gai, as abilities that could be used alongside the Eight Gates Opening were indeed rare.
Might Gai's ideal fusion partner would be a taijutsu expert like Teacher Chen.
Dai Tu and the others weren't weak in taijutsu, but their other abilities were even stronger.
This realization instantly dampened Dai Tu's enthusiasm for fusion with Might Gai. Without Divine Power, he couldn't get close to enemies and use techniques like Day Tiger or Golden Sky, rendering his taijutsu strength meaningless.
Dai Tu closed the Eight Gates Opening, and in that instant, he was engulfed by excruciating pain, causing his face to contort in agony.
Fortunately, Might Gai immediately took control of the body, and the unbearable pain subsided.
"So this is the side effect of the Eight Gates Opening, it's truly remarkable, Akai."
Dai Tu exclaimed sincerely.
He knew the Eight Gates Opening had side effects and could damage the body, but he never imagined the pain would be so intense.
For that brief moment, Dai Tu felt as if countless kunai were piercing his body.
"But since I opened it, I should be the one to bear it."
Dai Tu reclaimed control of the body, wanting to endure the pain himself.
Even with this stronger body, Dai Tu found it unbearable. He couldn't imagine how Might Gai had endured such pain to protect them by forcibly opening higher gates.
How could he let Might Gai, who has endured so much pain for so long, suffer additional agony because of his recklessness?"
The two followed their original plan, each using the body for half an hour. After an hour, their bodies automatically separated.
Due to the various tests they performed during the fusion, they had consumed a significant amount of chakra and stamina. After separating, both of them collapsed on the ground to rest.
"Do you two want to give it a try?"
Lord Moonlight turned to Shizui and Kakashi.
Only Yamato and Yahiko remained at the scene, but Yamato's strength was just symbolic, and Yahiko's gender was different, making them less suitable.
