Chapter 431 - Researching Cells

"There's still an Ōtsutsuki over there." Orochimaru eagerly reminded Kazuki.

That was an Ōtsutsuki!

A living Ōtsutsuki.

These things, for Orochimaru, were all excellent experimental materials.

But why, when these Ōtsutsuki looked for Karma vessels, did they always look for others? He was clearly present, yet he was ignored by those Ōtsutsuki.

Orochimaru, in any case, found this unacceptable.

But what could he do?

Of course, he would choose to dissect them.

"Kinshiki?" Kazuki raised an eyebrow.

He felt a certain disdain for Kinshiki. Compared to other Ōtsutsuki, Kinshiki's strength was a bit lacking.

Kazuki looked at Kaguya beside him and asked, "How is Karma made?"

Kaguya, who was originally being stared at by Kazuki, let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She had been worried that Kazuki was going to settle old scores with her. But it turned out he wanted to know how to create Karma.

Kaguya had inherited all of these things. Hagoromo and Hamura, in fact, both had the inheritance of Karma. If they wanted to use it, they could. What Kaguya hadn't expected was that her two sons had embarked on a path no one had ever imagined.

Kaguya had no way to deal with this, as both Hamura and Hagoromo's current strength likely surpassed hers.

Kaguya gave the method for creating Karma to Kazuki, who learned it instantly. For the Ōtsutsuki, Karma was almost an instinctive technique, a racial talent.

Kazuki was also an Ōtsutsuki. He just hadn't had the corresponding inheritance before. Therefore, using Karma was not difficult for him.

Since he could use Karma, controlling Kinshiki to use Karma was not difficult.

Kazuki then asked everyone, "Who among you wants Kinshiki's power?"

Kazuki's words made the others look at each other.

Kinshiki's power?

Madara said without hesitation, "I think Hashirama is very suitable."

Ever since he awakened the Rinnegan, Hashirama had fallen behind him. He naturally hoped that Hashirama could catch up. Kinshiki's strength was decent, at least his physique was very powerful, which suited Hashirama.

"Me?" Hashirama frowned.

He hadn't expected Madara to mention him. In truth, he wasn't very interested in Karma or anything like that. He could develop his own corresponding powers. He believed that he could also learn the so-called Six Paths Sage Mode and research the so-called Six Paths Yin-Yang Power. He already had a correct path laid out before him and didn't need Kinshiki's power at all.

Kinshiki might be very good, but his power wasn't necessarily better than the Asura's power he had previously obtained. Kinshiki's power would be useful to him, but not significantly.

As for the so-called Rinnegan, Hashirama neither coveted nor envied it.

While Kushina and the others had embarked on such a path, Hashirama decided to develop his physical body. He didn't believe that his path of extreme Yang Release was wrong.

"I'll pass. I've decided to get stronger myself. However, Tobirama and the others could try to have Karma. But Karma, I suppose, also requires the other party's consent, right?" Hashirama looked at his younger brother, Tobirama.

Feeling Hashirama's gaze, Tobirama felt a surge of excitement.

An Ōtsutsuki!

If he could obtain Kinshiki's power, he would then possess the strength to fight an Ōtsutsuki.

Thinking of this, Tobirama's gaze subtly drifted towards Madara.

No matter what, Madara was always a huge hidden danger.

Admittedly, he was no match for Madara before. The other party was an Indra Chakra reincarnation, so it was no wonder he could never defeat Madara.

If it weren't for his elder brother, Hashirama, who could suppress Madara, perhaps no one in the Ninja World could contend with Madara.

Even with his unique ability to develop forbidden Ninjutsu, Tobirama had to admit that he couldn't fight Madara.

But with the power of the Ōtsutsuki, combined with his forbidden Ninjutsu development ability, wouldn't fighting Madara be a piece of cake?

Seemingly sensing Tobirama's gaze, Madara naturally understood what Tobirama meant. He snorted disdainfully. Admittedly, the Ōtsutsuki's power was great. If Tobirama could obtain the power of the Ōtsutsuki, his strength would reach a higher level. However, Madara had absolute confidence in himself.

Madara had always believed that the main reason for his strength was not his identity as an Indra Chakra reincarnation, but his inherent talent and hard work.

What if Tobirama gained the Ōtsutsuki's power? Madara was not afraid.

However, this also served as a reminder to Madara that in the future, he might need to seek out other Ōtsutsuki. After Izuna was resurrected, he would obtain the power of the Ōtsutsuki for Izuna.

Kazuki approached Kinshiki. All those previous events were naturally witnessed by Kinshiki, who didn't care about them.

Admittedly, if the other party wanted to kill him and obtain his Chakra, he couldn't resist. However, if Kazuki wanted him to plant Karma on others, it couldn't be done without his cooperation, as Karma was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

But when Kazuki began to manipulate Kinshiki, his entire consciousness became chaotic. He was manipulated into planting Karma on Tobirama, and even his will began to transfer.

What exactly was going on?

At the same time, Kazuki began to extract Kinshiki's Chakra.

Extracting Chakra, manipulating Kinshiki to plant Karma on Tobirama, killing Kinshiki, and then erasing Kinshiki's soul—all in one smooth motion.

It could be said that Kazuki had become proficient, even professional, in dealing with Ōtsutsuki.

"Success." Kazuki felt Tobirama's condition and nodded with satisfaction.

The combat power on the Ninja World's side had received a huge boost.

In the future, even if Kazuki left the Ninja World with Mikoto, Kushina, and Rinka, the Ninja World would still have Tobirama, Mito, Madara, and Hashirama guarding it. In addition, there were Hagoromo , Hamura, and even Indra and Asura in the Pure Land.

When Sasuke and others are born in the future, they will all become the mainstays of the Ninja World.

It was conceivable that as long as no particularly powerful Ōtsutsuki descended upon the Ninja World in the future, the Ninja World would be able to face these crises.

Alas, if only more Ōtsutsuki could come to the Ninja World.

Kazuki still had many people around him waiting to have Karma planted on them by an Ōtsutsuki.

Kazuki couldn't even imagine how far geniuses like Nawaki, Tsunade, and Minato could grow after gaining the power of the Ōtsutsuki. They were all outstanding individuals, but their bloodlines limited their growth. But once the limitations of their bloodlines were broken, it was hard to imagine how far they could grow.

Furthermore, there were many elites within the Uchiha clan.

Konoha could now be considered invincible.

Even if Hagoromo and the others wanted to stop Kazuki, they couldn't do it now.

Kazuki admitted that their strength might be very great, but he was not to be trifled with, and the number of strong individuals on their side was already greater than that in the Pure Land.

However, Kazuki also had no intention of falling out with the brothers. In the future, the Ninja World would need their protection.

Their actions protected the Ninja World, and as time went on, the Ninja World's recovery speed would become faster and faster. Perhaps in the next few hundred or even a thousand years, the Ninja World would fully recover.

As the Ninja World recovers, more and more areas of the Ninja World will recover, more and more places will become suitable for ninjas to live in, and the number of ninjas will also increase.

The Ninja World's recovery speed will also increase. Not to mention anything else, even the strength of the nine Tailed Beasts was constantly increasing.

As the hub of the Ninja World's natural cycle, while the Ninja World recovered, the Tailed Beast's power also grew subtly. Once upon a time, Nine-Tails was a cute little fox, but looking at the big fox now, it's clear that it had grown over the years.

As for whether Nine-Tails leaving the Ninja World with Kazuki in the future would affect the Ninja World, it wouldn't have much of an impact. At most, the other Tailed Beasts would have to bear more responsibility, receive more benefits, and grow a little faster.

Of course, Kazuki would not treat Nine-Tails badly. If he obtained Ten-Tails in the future and acquired Ten-Tails Chakra pill, Nine-Tails would also get a share. He believed that with Ten-Tails Chakra pill, Nine-Tails would be able to grow at an even faster rate.

Moreover, Kazuki wasn't leaving the Ninja World forever. At most, he would be gone for a few years, which wouldn't have a particularly significant impact on Nine-Tails.

"It's a pity there aren't enough Ōtsutsuki." Orochimaru remarked with regret upon seeing that Tobirama also had Karma.

If he could also have Karma, that would be even better.

However, Orochimaru knew that while his relationship with Kazuki was good, it wasn't his turn yet. Not to mention anything else, Tsunade and the others would definitely be before him. And Kagami would also be before him.

Of course, Orochimaru was not in a hurry. After all, he was not a combatant, and there were Ōtsutsuki corpses waiting for him to research, which was incredibly fortunate for someone like him. Next, he needed to utilize these cells.

Orochimaru had almost finished researching the human-specific Sage Mode. Next, he would research Ōtsutsuki cells and find a way to nurture some excellent descendants.

If Hashirama cells could be researched back then, why couldn't Ōtsutsuki cells be researched now?

Orochimaru once wanted to research all Ninjutsu, but as time went on, he turned his attention to the Ōtsutsuki.

Since he couldn't obtain the Ōtsutsuki's power for now, he would do it himself.
