Naruto: The Hyuga Mastermind

Chapter 216: Deconstructing Kekkei Genkai

If compared with existing techniques in the ninja world, consecration is somewhat similar to Hiruko's Chimera Technique, but the difference is that the temporarily borrowed chakra disappears after use without any side effects.

If there's any side effect, it's probably that an average ninja's body cannot withstand such an enormous amount of chakra.

If Hozuki Gengetsu weren't an Edo Tensei body, Hyuga Fuji wouldn't have given him so much chakra. Ordinary ninjas wouldn't last long with such a sudden surge of chakra, and their bodies would turn to ash in an instant.

Moreover, all this chakra belongs to other ninjas under his command, essentially meaning that his subordinates are enhancing Hozuki Gengetsu's strength together. During that time, they lose their combat power, leaving themselves vulnerable.

However, Edo Tensei ninjas can serve as excellent sources of chakra, so there's no need to be overly concerned about this...

Thinking of this, Hyuga Fuji let out a soft laugh.

The Second Hokage's Edo Tensei is indeed useful.

With that thought, Hyuga Fuji handed the spiritual orb to Chomei to observe the follow-up and stepped aside.

There was no need to watch anymore. With Hozuki Gengetsu's combat experience, if he still managed to lose, he might as well return to being a researcher.

Having developed so many Hozuki clan secret techniques, Hozuki Gengetsu certainly had the skills of a researcher.

Or rather, most of the Second Kages were essentially research talents in ninjutsu.

As successors to the First Kages, they faced increasingly complex situations in the ninja world and were all trying to develop their villages' foundations, which is why they often had research abilities.

As a result, the first Kages Hyuga Fuji revived were the three Second Kages, including Hozuki Gengetsu. After the Second Kages, the subsequent Kages entered a period of frequent wars, which reduced the time and enthusiasm for developing ninjutsu, focusing more on application and learning.

Although there were occasional impressive results, they lacked the brilliance of their predecessors, especially in Sunagakure, which seemed to be resting on its laurels.

Recalling the original development where Hozuki Gengetsu praised Gaara, Fuji's expression turned slightly strange.

Surpassing you lot of dead men? It would be fine if it were Madara, but they hadn't even faced you at your peak, needing Naruto to intervene. No matter how one thinks about it, it sounds odd.

The Fourth Great Ninja War, the more it highlighted Naruto's strength and role, the more it emphasized that the overall strength of the ninja world hadn't progressed.

Shaking his head quietly, Hyuga Fuji arrived at the center of his defined sea of spirit, surrounded by dozens of spiritual orbs.

With a thought, the dark-colored Yin-Yang chakra appeared in his palm.

Yin-Yang Release has the ability to directly convert the opponent's ninjutsu into chakra and store it within the body, which is very similar to the power of the Rinnegan's chakra absorption.

But Hyuga Fuji transferred this chakra from his subordinates not to study the Rinnegan's power.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the Yin-Yang chakra began to decompose into the wind and yin chakra attributes, and then he fused them again.

The greatest benefit of directly obtaining Kekkei Genkai chakra is not the enhancement of strength, but the ability to intuitively perceive the chakra of Kekkei Genkai and repeatedly experience the process of decomposition and fusion.

Mastering the nature transformation of a single chakra attribute isn't difficult; most Jonin can master the nature transformation of two attributes. For Jonin, the obstacle to mastering Kekkei Genkai isn't the nature transformation itself but the proportion of each chakra attribute during the fusion. Without specialized guidance, it's very difficult to get started.

Take Onoki, for example. Without Mu, if he wanted to master Dust Release, he would have to grasp the proportion of three chakra attributes himself, which is extremely difficult and could even result in death due to improper fusion.

However, Fuji's situation is slightly different.

In the already fused Kekkei Genkai chakra, the proportions of various chakra attributes are perfect. He only needs to control the fusion, just like a ninja naturally capable of using Kekkei Genkai. By copying the answers, he can naturally master these Kekkei Genkai faster.

Understanding not only the phenomena but also the underlying principles.

It's not just about using the power but understanding its essence, which is very valuable to Hyuga Fuji.

'After restructuring the three kinds of dual-attribute chakra fusions, I'll begin deconstructing Dust Release and Wood Release, and then... onto the Truth-Seeking Balls.'

Hyuga Fuji's eyes flickered.

The legacy passed down from Ashura provided the proportions of the six chakra attributes needed to merge the Truth-Seeking Balls.

But before formally attempting to merge the Truth-Seeking Balls, he needed to address one issue.

He needed to complete his own chakra attributes.

It's one thing to borrow others' chakra to practice Kekkei Genkai, but to merge the Truth-Seeking Balls, it's best to have all his chakra attributes complete.

...

"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"

From his clasped hands, he unleashed multiple powerful lasers formed from water vapor, aiming at Susanoo to draw Obito's attention.

Meanwhile, the Boil Release used by Hozuki Gengetsu continued to corrode Susanoo's shell.

"Damn it, this guy..."

Watching Hozuki Gengetsu recklessly squander chakra, using various Kekkei Genkai and the massive power of the Tenseigan, Obito's face flushed red.

Anyone would be enraged after boasting confidently, only to be immediately proven wrong.

But aside from his anger, Obito couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.

Having the means to transmit chakra remotely is one thing, but the ability to transmit multiple types of chakra and allow someone to use various Kekkei Genkai is too dangerous.

It's like making Hyuga Fuji's subordinates capable of becoming mixed Kekkei Genkai ninjas.

For someone as troublesome as Hozuki Gengetsu to possess various Kekkei Genkai, Obito had no confidence in suppressing him.

He originally thought that without Hyuga Fuji present, no one could stop him, but he hadn't accounted for Hozuki Gengetsu being overpowered.

'Fortunately, Hyuga Fuji hasn't found a way to counter Kamui; otherwise, today might have been dangerous.'

With this in mind, Obito's eyes darkened as he deactivated Susanoo, no longer wasting chakra.

Unlike Hozuki Gengetsu, even with Hashirama cells, Obito's chakra wasn't sufficient for casual waste.

Susanoo's power is formidable, and Kamui is extremely dangerous and impenetrable. But against Hozuki Gengetsu, who is incredibly fast and continuously uses various Kekkei Genkai, it still couldn't achieve a one-hit kill effect.

After all... Hozuki Gengetsu is an Edo Tensei ninja!

Previously, Obito used Kamui's power on the Yasaka Magatama to suppress him step by step, even leveraging Rin, but only managed to land a heavy blow on Hozuki Gengetsu, who then summoned a clone to escape his sealing technique.

Afterward, in just a moment, Hozuki Gengetsu recovered completely, proving exceedingly difficult to deal with.

Defeating him and capturing the Tailed Beasts seemed unrealistic.

After his initial rage, Obito regained clarity and calmly assessed the situation.

He glanced at Kakashi in the distance and then at Rin in front of him, frowning deeply.

After seeing Hozuki Gengetsu's comparable abilities, Kakashi cautiously left the battlefield, fearing that Hozuki Gengetsu would take this opportunity to settle past grievances.

For Kakashi, the original Hozuki Gengetsu was already tough enough to fight, and the enhanced version now wasn't something he wanted to provoke.

As for Rin, she was likely intentionally left behind.

Obito's goal was the two Tailed Beasts. If both Kakashi and Rin left the scene, regardless of what thoughts Obito had before, he would abandon the idea of fighting Hozuki Gengetsu and instead pursue the two.

'Taking both of them away today isn't realistic, so I'll take Rin.'

Looking at Hozuki Gengetsu attacking again, Obito's eyes flickered.
