Asura Chakra optimizes the body, while Indra Chakra optimizes the eyes.
This acquired optimization will gradually bring Ino closer to the life form of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
She didn't know about other worlds, but in this world, the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was superior to humans, and to reach higher places, one had to rely on the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Ino placed the Mangekyo Sharingan against her eyeball and slowly absorbed the Dojutsu Power within it using Yin Release.
After about three minutes of absorption, she stopped and looked in the mirror, seeing no difference in herself from before.
This genetic optimization, it seemed, would be a relatively long process.
She picked up the Mangekyo Sharingan and examined it carefully. With its pure Dojutsu Power drained, the eye now appeared dim and lifeless, a dull grey, just a hair's breadth from complete blindness.
If she were to transplant the eye into herself, she could gradually restore the Dojutsu Power within it using her own spiritual energy.
Ino had no intention of doing so, nor did she plan to let Karin, Naruto, or others 'recharge' this eye with their bodies.
Kotoamatsukami was such a dangerous Dojutsu; she had no intention of letting this eye reappear in the world.
She had a better way to restore its Dojutsu Power.
"Bang!" The sealing scroll opened, and Kimimaro's corpse appeared before her.
The Kaguya Clan, like the Hyuga, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Senju Clans, were descendants of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Kimimaro, this descendant, suffered from a bloodline illness early on. According to Ino's research, it was because he was too outstanding; the cells of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, like a potent poison, eroded the human part of his cells, ultimately leading to his body's collapse and an early death.
Kimimaro possessed cells from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, slightly inferior to those of the Senju Clan, but his corpse could be used to 'recharge' the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Ino's current cells could actually be considered those of a Senju Clan member. The plants she cultivated from her own cells possessed extremely strong vitality.
The next process involved plants providing vitality to the corpse, the corpse transferring vitality to the Mangekyo to convert it into Dojutsu Power, and Ino harvesting the Dojutsu Power periodically through the Mangekyo, an efficient energy converter. Finally, she would convert the Dojutsu Power into Indra Chakra to further optimize and transform her ocular organs at a higher level.
Others first had eyes, then Dojutsu Power; she accumulated Dojutsu Power, and when it reached its limit, she would awaken her eyes.
This path was similar to Ōtsutsuki Toneri's.
Utilizing Kimimaro's corpse and the Mangekyo Sharingan for energy purification and conversion would undoubtedly result in significant energy loss along the way. However, it didn't matter; the plants she cultivated from her own cells could extract Chakra from within the earth. If even a Divine Tree could grow, was there any problem with her'shearing some wool' to create an 'eye monster'? No problem at all!
Transplanting eyes into a living person required considerable medical skill, but transplanting eyes into a corpse had no such demands.
The Sharingan was a special organ that existed independently of an individual, possessing a 'plug-and-play' function. Ino performed a minor surgery and transplanted the eye onto Kimimaro.
Afterward, the Rafflesia swallowed the corpse, its roots delving into the earth, continuously supplying vitality to the corpse to generate Dojutsu Power, awaiting Ino's next harvest.
Ino returned to the Land of Wheat, where Naruto was still diligently practicing the Big Ball Rasengan.
She dispelled her Shadow Clone, acquiring the memories of the past few days. Everything had been calm and uneventful there.
Next, she continued to chat idly with Princess Afu; no one knew that she had been bustling back and forth between Konoha and the Land of Earth for the past few days.
After another two days, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure believed Danzo had traveled a thousand miles to bully his granddaughter, while Danzo believed the Third Tsuchikage had secretly colluded with the Akatsuki Organization and Uchiha Itachi to conspire and seize his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Both sides blamed each other, and Ino reaped six 'blame points' – her largest single harvest yet.
According to the previous plan, she would first use four blame points to raise Earth Release to Lv5.
With Earth Release maxed out, she began to learn Deidara's Explosive Clay.
Naruto had no reaction to her mud-sculpting activities. Princess Afu found it amusing and even played with mud with Ino for a day.
Deidara had written many insights and experiences about Explosive Clay, and now all that knowledge belonged to Ino.
This young man, who found clay more interesting than Kurotsuchi, truly poured all his heart into his 'toys.' For the C0, affectionately nicknamed 'Patrick Star' by many netizens, he even wrote several thousand words of ideas, conceptions, and visions.
Ino wasn't as crazy as him and had no intention of self-destructing, but it had to be said that this 'exploding everything' approach greatly appealed to her.
Her Steam Impurities Explosion was a big bomb, and Spiral Ringu also had explosive effects. Now she had Explosive Clay too.
The basis of Steam Impurities Explosion was Water Release, and the core of Explosive Clay was Earth Release. Water Release plus Earth Release, wasn't that Wood Release? Wood Release Chakra had the strongest inclusiveness. If Yin Style Chakra and Yang Release Chakra were added, and a Fat Ino as big as Patrick Star rushed over, then with the Yin and Yang colliding, "Boom!" Wouldn't tens of thousands of enemies be blown to smithereens?
She thought this idea had great potential. When she created it, she would show Deidara!
Your explosions? No good. My explosions? Good!
The next few days, Ino spent in a cycle of shaping mud, injecting Earth Release Chakra, and triggering explosions.
Explosive Clay was extremely difficult to learn, but fortunately, her foundation was solid, and she had Deidara's experience. After nine days, she finally succeeded in detonating clay infused with her own Earth Release Chakra from an ultra-long distance.
Using the last bit of time for the mission, she changed into Deidara's attire in the middle of the night, then molded a giant Clay Bird and quietly left the Land of Wheat.
In the current climate, good people were hard to find, but bad people were abundant.
Of course, Ninja weren't good people either; the Ninja profession caused the most damage to social order.
Ino wasn't a sociologist, nor did she care about such things.
The Clay Bird flew very fast.
Unlike flying during the Spirit Transformation Technique, going out for a ride late at night was truly cold.
She flew to the Land of Iron, occupied by samurai, conducted a rough investigation, and quickly found a wealthy but unscrupulous merchant and a temple rumored to have strong connections with the Daimyo of the Land of Iron.
She paid them a visit, took all their gold and silver treasures, distributed the food to the local populace, burned all the land deeds, then tied Clay Bombs to these unscrupulous merchants and money-lending monks, shouted "Katsu!" and sent them to the afterlife.
During the first explosion, she didn't control the amount of Chakra well enough, and the explosive power was too strong. The merchant's house was blown to smithereens, and the raging fire burned for a whole day before being extinguished.
Fearing that the common people wouldn't know who to blame, she even publicly shouted the famous line, "Art is an explosion!"
