Chapter 107 The Ultimate Purpose of Starting the War!
The biting wind, mixed with fine snowflakes, lashed at Yuan Tuoye's face like countless tiny ice needles.
After leaving the Land of Rivers, he came to the Land of Snow, an eternally white expanse.
"My lord, you have arrived." Feng Hua Nu Tao, who had been waiting outside the teleportation node for a long time, immediately stepped forward, his voice loud but filled with deep respect.
He was wearing a thick, warm fur coat, with snowflakes clinging to his shoulders, clearly having been waiting for a long time. Yuan Tuoye had obviously notified the crows here before he arrived.
"Hmm." Yuan Tuono nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife, cutting straight to the heart of the matter. "The transport line, is there anything wrong?"
"Please rest assured, sir!" Feng Hua Nu Tao straightened his back even more, his words full of confidence. "Over there, Langya Xue Beng is responsible for capturing and transferring the suspects to the starting point of the underground railway at the front lines of Konoha and Kumogakure."
Throughout the entire transportation process, winter bears and freezing rain stayed by our side at all times, escorting and protecting us. Even the blizzards unique to the Snow Country did not delay us in the slightest.
The final stretch of the journey to our secret destination was personally monitored by me to ensure a flawless handover!
No step can be allowed to go wrong!
He paused, a disdainful smile of undisguised contempt for his brother appearing on his face: "As for my good brother, that daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazehana Hayase."
He's probably still holed up in his palace, tinkering with that naive underfloor heating project, isn't he?
What use would a stove, developed at the expense of the nation's resources, be in such a frozen country? Can it be expected to melt the ice peaks?
He was so engrossed in his work that he had neither the time nor the capacity to notice the other railway track we had laid right under his nose.
Yuan Tuoye was clearly satisfied with Feng Hua Nutao's work efficiency and control, and gave a low "hmm" with a hint of promise.
"Well done. Once the dust settles on the war between Konoha and Kumogakure, you and your men will naturally receive the reward that is rightfully yours."
The Fiery Waves before us was originally a daimyo of a country. His promotion of technology in the Land of Snow can be regarded as the pioneer of "scientific ninja tools" in the ninja world, and his ability is beyond doubt.
Unfortunately, the Snow Country, confined to a corner of the world, had too shallow a foundation and was ultimately unable to support more advanced exploration.
However, for him, the sharp blade of wind, flowers, and raging waves is already more than enough to be used.
"To serve you, sir, is already a great honor for us subordinates!" Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Nu Tao's eyes instantly flashed with excitement and longing, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Yuan Tuoye glanced at him, understanding dawning on his mind.
This kind of power, dependent on authority and driven by self-interest, will continue to submit as long as it holds more powerful bargaining chips, such as the mysterious energy of the Grell Stone, the Oni-Garuru technique, and the basic power of cursed seals.
Of course, it wouldn't be the complete version of the Oni-Garara Technique, but rather the crude, "incomplete" Oni-Garara Technique given to Hiruko's subordinates.
It is by no means the "Heavenly Curse Seal" that Orochimaru cherishes. That thing consumes so many materials that even Orochimaru feels the pinch. More importantly, its survival rate is too low!
Throughout the entire timeline, only Uchiha Sasuke and Mitarashi Anko possessed the Heavenly Curse Seal.
Sasuke Uchiha was the person Orochimaru most wanted to possess, while Anko Mitarashi was his beloved disciple. This shows how much Orochimaru valued the Cursed Seal of Heaven.
"If there's nothing else, have Fubuki send a batch over here later. Prioritize wind and water attributes."
"If the quantity is insufficient, we can send single-attribute wind and single-attribute water items as a pair," Gen Takuno decisively ordered.
"Yes, sir! I will immediately inform Crane Wing Snow!" Wind Flower Raging Waves respectfully accepted the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tuoye didn't delay any longer. His figure blended into the wind and snow, and he entered the underground fortress where the laboratory was located alone.
The interior and the snow-covered exterior are like two different worlds, with a constant low temperature mixed with the smell of disinfectant and metal.
He looked around and began to move. His fingers moved like phantoms, and complex and mysterious chakra runes flowed from his fingertips, accurately imprinting themselves on the walls, floor and even the ceiling of the laboratory.
Layer upon layer of invisible sealing barriers quietly unfolded, tightly enveloping the entire inner chamber.
While the art of spiritification is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness.
When casting a spell, the body's defenses are almost zero, so he must build an impregnable fortress on the outside when using the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Even after setting up these sealing techniques, Yuan Tuoye still felt it wasn't enough, so he formed hand seals.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
A Wood Release clone, identical to the original Minamoto no Takuno, materialized from the ground and stood silently beside him.
In terms of combat, the Wood Clone is indeed more useful than the Shadow Clone. It does not require splitting chakra and will not disintegrate after being injured once. It is a clone that can withstand damage and fight.
The wooden clone is the last line of defense. In the event of an accident, this clone will buy him a crucial few seconds, enough for the spiritification technique to be dispelled and his soul to return to its original position in an instant.
Although he believed that the possibility of being attacked under heavy protection in the Snow Country was extremely low, years of caution were ingrained in his bones, and he could not overlook any of the necessary preparations.
Just as the light of the sealing barrier faded, and the wooden clone had already hidden in the shadows, the heavy metal door of the laboratory slid open.
Tsurugi Fubuki appeared at the doorway, with several "materials" secured by restraint devices behind her.
"My lord, as you instructed. Everything you required has been delivered, and the details have been recorded in the scroll. Please check it, my lord." Crane Wing Snow's voice was clear and efficient as she handed over the report.
At the same time, her gaze swept over the layers of seals that Yuan Tuoye had just set up, and a barely perceptible tremor flashed deep in her eyes. Although she couldn't understand these sealing techniques, she was truly worthy of being called a master for setting up so many sealing techniques in such a short time!
"Not bad efficiency." Yuan Tuoye took the report and glanced at it briefly.
He casually pointed to a bound dual-attribute material, and Crane Wing Snow immediately manipulated the device to send it into the core experimental area.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Tuoye's hand seals changed again, and a surge of powerful life energy burst forth.
"Wood Release!"
With a soft shout, the wooden structure on the open ground next to the core experimental area grew and intertwined rapidly as if it had come to life.
In just a few breaths, a sturdy, wide wooden isolation cell with a simple internal structure rose from the ground.
Its rapid generation speed and stable form are far beyond what ordinary earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique or technique).
"This—this is—" Tsurugi Fubuki was facing this power for the first time. Even though she already knew about Minamoto Takuno's strength, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Her pupils contracted sharply. "The First Hokage—the legendary Wood Release bloodline limit?!"
The horror in her heart was like a raging storm.
This one of the strongest powers in the ninja world, which had long been lost and only existed in textbooks, was reproduced so casually before our eyes!
How many secrets are still hidden in their adults?
"You are responsible for looking after the rest. Don't lose them. I will come and get them myself if needed." Yuan Tuoye's order was not to be questioned.
"My lord, you could have just informed me, and I could have taken them—" Tsurugi Fubuki suggested instinctively, but suddenly felt a cold, piercing gaze directed at her.
A chill ran down her spine and straight to the top of her head, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly corrected herself, "—Yes! I understand! I will guard the quarantine area every step of the way!"
"Hmm." Yuan Tuoye responded calmly, said no more, and turned to step into the core experimental area.
With a clang, the heavy, specially made door slammed shut behind him.
Outside the laboratory, He Yi Fubuki leaned against the cold metal wall, taking a deep breath to calm the palpitations and fear that had almost suffocated her—the pressure and warning contained in that gaze just now were truly terrifying.
Inside the core laboratory, the cold equipment and soft lighting create an eerie atmosphere.
Yuan Tuoye's deep black eyes quietly turned crimson.
In his pupils, two black tomoe slowly rotated, their speed increasing until they finally turned into blurry afterimages.
His use of spiritualization techniques requires lowering some mental resistance to a minimum.
It wasn't that he couldn't use the spiritification technique to forcibly break through its consciousness, but rather that the upcoming "fusion experiment" required an absolutely stable control environment.
Intense mental resistance might prevent him from performing precise operations.
This is a necessary measure to improve the success rate.
Illusion spell cast!
The invisible and intangible power of the eye is like the finest ice needle. When it begins to work, it does not destroy, but rather applies continuous pressure, eroding one's will and dulling one's perception.
Soon, the preparations were complete.
Gen Takuya slowly sat down on a specially made recliner, his hands forming the most crucial hand seal: "Spirit Transformation Technique!"
The next second, his consciousness seemed to be suddenly pulled away, and he slumped softly in the chair, as if he had fallen into the deepest sleep.
The wooden clone stood quietly beside the recliner like the most loyal guard, its sharp gaze scanning the room for any possible disturbances.
At the same time, Gen Takuno's eyes suddenly opened.
The emptiness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a deep-seated coldness.
At this moment, Yuan Tuoye's consciousness has taken up residence in this temporary body.
Yuan Tuono slightly moved his fingers in his "new" body and instantly sensed some resistance.
Unfortunately, after being tormented by the previous illusion, his resistance was like a powerless wave crashing against a reef, having almost no effect on him.
After all, his spiritual energy could keep up with the increase in the physical energy of the Vortex Clan, which could be considered a rare talent.
Therefore, his soul is not something that just anyone can shake.
With just a small amount of mental energy, he easily suppressed it in the corner.
The core experimental objective was clearly presented in his mind.
I'm attempting to fuse the wind and water chakra natures to refine the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai!
In fact, many Jonin know that some bloodline limits are formed by the fusion of two or more attributes.
However, no bloodline limit has been seen to be rampant in the ninja world.
The reason is that even if you understand the principle, you may not be able to do it because the risks are simply too great!
A moment's carelessness could lead to death.
The harvest is merely a bloodline limit. While it cannot be denied that every bloodline limit is powerful, can one become an absolute powerhouse simply by relying on this bloodline limit?
Obviously not, so the gains and risks are completely disproportionate.
Furthermore, those with the talent to fuse with bloodline limits can become powerful ninjas without relying on them, so why take such a perilous risk? And there's no guarantee of success!
Now, it seems that Yuan Tuoye has chosen this path of almost certain death, but he is different!
His greatest reliance in choosing this path is the art of spiritualization!
All the dangers are borne by this temporary "container"!
In the instant of the failed fusion and the rampage of chakra, he only needed a thought to dispel the spiritualization, and his consciousness could instantly return to his original body in the distant future.
The price? Nothing more than some mental exhaustion.
Of course, some problems are unavoidable.
He wasn't using his own body to control the spiritualization technique, and he also had to distract himself to suppress and resist it, which greatly reduced his precise control over chakra.
But in his view, this was not a big problem.
Because as long as you try enough times, you can solve the problem. That's why he started the war between Konoha and Kumogakure to give him more opportunities to try!
Of course, those with suitable attributes are always few and far between, so he also possesses the Ghost Sprout Technique!
So none of this is a problem!
One source isn't enough? Then use ten, or even a hundred!
Moreover, if he can successfully refine Ice Release under such unfavorable conditions, then once he returns to his body and uses his even stronger chakra control to wield this power, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
