Chapter 144 - Upgrading The Uzumaki Bloodline

Naruto turned his gaze to Karin's blood. With a thought, a small slit opened in the palm of his right hand.

He opened the lid of the glass bottle and dripped the blood into the cut in his palm.

The moment the blood made contact with the capillaries in his body, Naruto closed the cut in his palm, and the skin healed without leaving a trace of a scar.

At the same time, Absolute Control raised his perception precision to the genetic level again, and the white blood cells from Karin's blood were immediately locked onto after entering his bloodstream.

Through the nucleus, Naruto clearly saw Karin's complete genetic sequence. He compared her sequence with his own side-by-side.

There were many highly similar parts between the two sequences, which confirmed that they were both successors of the Uzumaki clan.

But there were also some completely different sequence segments. These differentiated segments were likely the key codes that made Karin's sequence different from his.

Naruto used Absolute Control to start fusing the different segments in Karin's genetic sequence with his own genes.

The fusion of genetic sequences was proceeding in an orderly manner under the precise control of Absolute Control, with every base pair replacement strictly limited within a controllable range.

Soon, the changes at the genetic level triggered reactions in his body.

The most obvious one was that his body temperature began to rise sharply.

He could feel all the cells in his body adapting to the new genetic code, and the frequency of his metabolism was pushed to the limit in a short time. Beads of sweat began to seep out from the surface of his skin.

Naruto kept his eyes closed, closely monitoring the changes in every cell in his body. If there were any abnormalities, he would immediately terminate the fusion process and clear the mutated cells out of his body.

...

About half an hour later, this sensation of continuous fever gradually faded away.

The moment the last mutated cell completed the fusion, Naruto clearly felt a massive amount of Chakra erupt from his body. It was like a valve that hadn't been opened for over a decade being unscrewed.

Naruto immediately used Absolute Control to firmly lock this skyrocketing Chakra in his Chakra pathways, not allowing even a single shred of it to escape outside the cave.

Under the suppression of Absolute Control, the skyrocketing Chakra stabilized, flowing quietly through his Chakra pathways.

Naruto closed his eyes to sense it carefully, then opened them, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

His total Chakra capacity had increased by a full threefold. That might not sound like much, but using a more intuitive standard of measurement would reveal just how massive the increase was.

Previously, his Chakra reserve was about a hundred times that of Kakashi—meaning 100 K—but now it was 300 K.

And this was without even drawing upon the Nine-Tails Chakra.

If he added the Nine-Tails' Chakra in Kurama Chakra Mode, his current Chakra reserves were already enough to sustain him in continuous, high-intensity combat on any scale of battlefield.

But the explosive increase in Chakra capacity was merely a side benefit of this fusion. What truly delighted Naruto was the awakening of two abilities.

While sensing the changes in his Chakra, he had captured two fluctuations of power that had never appeared in his body before.

With this in mind, he closed his eyes and focused his attention on the first force.

A wave of sensory power spread out with him at the center, and the Chakra signatures of the entire Konoha appeared within his perception range.

Through this sensory power, Naruto could clearly distinguish the strength, attribute, and distance of every single signature.

Moreover, this was not even the limit of his range. If Naruto wished, he could continue to expand his perception, extending it far beyond the walls of Konoha.

He instantly guessed what this was.

Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

Unlike Negative Emotions Sensing, Mind's Eye of the Kagura focused more on the subtle changes of Chakra itself. When a ninja utilized Chakra in battle, their Chakra attributes, the general direction of their jutsu, and even their physical stamina could be reverse-engineered through the fluctuations of their Chakra.

Furthermore, Mind's Eye of the Kagura could actively conceal one's own Chakra signature, preventing it from being detected by enemies' sensory abilities. It was equivalent to being both a radar and stealth paint.

"Another highly practical ability."

Right after, he unleashed his second awakened ability.

He raised his right hand and opened his palm forward. Several golden chains condensed from Chakra extended from his palm. The surface of the chains was covered in a faint golden fluorescence, and every single link was engraved with runes that could only be activated by the Uzumaki bloodline.

With a thought from Naruto, the golden chains seemed to possess a life of their own, coiling and darting across the open space of the cave.

Hanging down from the cave ceiling, they wrapped around the edge of the stone platform a few times, emitting metallic clangs as they collided with each other.

Adamantine Sealing Chains!

The Fuinjutsu passed down through generations of the Uzumaki clan.

It could both bind enemies and weave into a sealing barrier, making it the natural nemesis of Tailed Beasts.

After controlling the chains to weave back and forth through the cave a few times, Naruto pinned the ends of the chains into several nodes on the four walls of the cave, using the chains as a framework to construct a suppression barrier.

The suppression barrier constructed by the Adamantine Sealing Chains was different from the Sensory Suppression Barrier. While the Sensory Suppression Barrier focused on concealment, the barrier of the Adamantine Sealing Chains suppressed everything within it with absolute binding and sealing power.
