Chapter 104 The Third Bloodline!
Deep within the land of rivers, the massive Grell mine lies silently hidden within the mountains, its immense energy tightly enveloped by a sealing technique meticulously set up by Gen Takuno.
Gazing at this extraordinary mineral deposit that still faintly glowed within the barrier, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed in Yuan Tuoye's eyes.
He skillfully used Earth Release ninjutsu to carve out a flat and wide underground space in the hard mineral vein rock layer.
This place will become a testing ground to witness a new stage in his path of bloodline integration.
Out of caution, Gen Takuno did not rush to use the third Oni-Garara Technique to absorb the new bloodline limit.
The effects of the Grell mine on the Ghost Sprout Technique are unknown; he needs a successful "warm-up" to confirm it.
However, he only has one chance, as the location of the Grell mine makes it impossible for him to bring too many at once.
He had tried for a long time before, and this time he was just taking a look at the impact of the environment.
In addition, Gen Takuno took out a scroll, and after everything was ready, he began his research.
The whole process went surprisingly smoothly.
Yuan Tuoye felt both surprised and that it was only natural.
Although fusion was eventually achieved in the previously enclosed, artificially constructed laboratory environment, the sense of blockage and stagnation in the process was always difficult to eliminate.
However, in the core of the earth's veins, which was filled with Grell's power, all obstacles seemed to melt away like ice and snow, and the flow of power became smoother than ever before, with the fusion completed as easily as flowing water.
He carefully observed the fused materials.
The most obvious change is the black patches that symbolize the fusion of flaws and the conflict of forces.
Its area and quantity are far fewer than those of samples produced in the laboratory.
This striking contrast made Takuno Minamoto squint his eyes.
"I see—" he murmured to himself, "The root of those black patches lies more in the imperfections of the Oni-Garra Technique itself! If it could be perfected, perhaps not only could these ugly marks be eliminated, but the heavy bandages used to cover the patches and restrict movement would also be unnecessary—"
Thinking of this, Yuan Tuoye couldn't help but sigh softly.
The pursuit of perfection is certainly tempting, but reality is cruel.
To study the Ghost Sprout Technique to perfection? The time and energy required would be simply beyond his capacity to bear.
It took him more than a year to complete the fusion of this third bloodline.
The difficulty of the fourth and fifth challenges increases exponentially.
He estimated that even if he pursued an imperfect "usable" form, it would take at least another four to five years to integrate with the fifth bloodline, not counting the bottlenecks that might be encountered along the way.
Perfect? That's more like a mirage, and that timeframe will be stretched indefinitely.
But he didn't have that much time!
An idea sprouted in my mind: if we moved the research base to this Grell mine and used its unique energy environment, could we significantly shorten this long research process?
However, Gen Takuno ultimately nipped this tempting shortcut in the bud.
If it were merely to be able to barely use the Oni-Garuru technique, then such a choice would indeed be acceptable, but that's not what he did.
Despite the tight schedule and the inability to pursue true perfection, he still chose to proceed as steadily as possible on the existing path.
Research conducted at the Grell mine may be much faster than outside, but the mine's own advantages also mask many problems in the experiments.
This means that successful research at the Grell mine may not be applicable to other areas, while successful research outside the mine can certainly be perfected at the Grell mine!
More importantly, he knew better than anyone else.
Even if he were to risk everything to achieve the fusion of five bloodlines now, it wouldn't mean he possesses the power to challenge the pinnacle of the world, or even reach the level of a second-tier Super Shadow.
After all, the gatekeeper of the Super Shadow is none other than the famous Pain!
After fusing five bloodlines, unless there is some special bonus, it is impossible to get past the Six Paths of Pain.
He currently sees no qualitative change or bonus that fusing the five bloodline limits will bring.
After all, only one person can use five bloodline limits. Although that is indeed a lot, it doesn't seem to be anything special.
Having made up his mind, Yuan Tuoye no longer hesitated.
He solemnly took out the rare Wood Release Kekkei Genkai material from the scroll.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, and his hands moved swiftly to form hand seals. A shadow clone materialized beside him, which would be an important monitor and assistant for his fusion surgery.
He sat cross-legged on a huge, unfolded scroll of sealing techniques, his palms placed in front of his chest, and the last complex hand seal was steadily formed.
"Oni-Garra Technique!" A deep and powerful shout echoed through the underground space.
In an instant, the vortex and Uchiha bloodline that had already merged within him suddenly became active and manifested.
Two bloodlines emerged on his body surface along the black patches, while the Wood Release bloodline limit that had been prepared beforehand transformed into a viscous, eerily glowing liquid energy, merging into the bloodline power on his body surface.
Then, the strange energy formed by the fusion of these three bloodlines was once again poured into his body!
My body was instantly engulfed by indescribable pain and an extreme feeling of energy expansion.
The immense pressure brought about by the fusion process even caused the space itself to tremble.
The newly generated Wood Release power, brimming with vitality, has even begun to influence the outside world. This space, which he had carved out with Earth Release and was originally unsuitable for plant growth, is now covered by trees full of life.
The shadow clone beside him was completely focused, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
It not only monitors the subtle changes in Yuan Tuoye's vital signs in real time, but also precisely guides the auxiliary sealing technique on the scroll to intervene and suppress those ominous black patches the moment they try to stubbornly grow and expand.
Finally, the violent energy storm began to subside.
The shadow clone stared intently at the main body, its eyes filled with disbelief.
The number and coverage of the black fusion patches that finally emerged were much smaller than when the second bloodline fusion was completed last time!
After confirming that the key indicators were stable and that the main body had opened its eyes, the shadow clone dispelled itself with satisfaction.
As his memories returned, Yuan Tuoye slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the new power flowing within him—the power of the three bloodline limits—Uzumaki, Uchiha, and Wood Release—he couldn't help but smile.
He then looked down at his body and found that the information transmitted by the shadow clone was completely correct; those ugly flaws had indeed been effectively suppressed to a minimum.
An uncontrollable smile crept onto his lips.
"The Grell mine—can it really produce such remarkable results!"
Having overcome numerous difficulties, Yuan Tuoye finally successfully stepped onto the third stage of the path of bloodline fusion. Soon, Yuan Tuoye closed his eyes and felt the special power surging within his body.
He did not master any ninjutsu related to Wood Release, but in fact, some powers do not necessarily require knowing specific hand seals to use.
His figure stood there motionless for a long time. He wasn't doing nothing; he was familiarizing himself with that power.
After a long while, he suddenly bent down and pressed his palms against the rocky ground.
In an instant, chakra surged into the earth like a tidal wave, and the entire space emitted a deep hum.
Amidst the cracking sounds of rock strata, countless gnarled giant trees burst forth from the soil, their branches stretching and growing taller at a visible speed, tender green buds bursting forth on the branches, and the damp scent of vegetation instantly filled the entire laboratory.
Seeing this, Yuan Tuoye's eyes also revealed a look of satisfaction.
Even though he hasn't mastered many Wood Release ninjutsu yet, and is only using the simplest techniques, his power is already greater than Yamato's.
Bloodline limit is just a tool; how much power it can exert depends on the user.
At this time, possessing the Uzumaki bloodline and having undergone long-term training, his chakra reserves had become incredibly powerful, making him far superior to Yamato from the original story.
Of course, compared to the First Hokage, another user of Wood Release, Minamoto Takuno is still far behind.
It can be said that, although both Hashirama Senju and Takuno Minamoto can be considered to be at the Elite 10 level.
However, the difference in chakra between them is even greater than the difference between Minamoto no Takuno and Yamato!
Hashirama Senju was just that unreasonable.
Even though Naruto Uzumaki has already activated Nine Horns Mode, his chakra reserves are only comparable to Hashirama Senju!
Naruto Uzumaki's chakra reserves only surpassed Hashirama Senju's after he completed Sage Mode and the even more advanced Six Paths Sage Mode.
Although at that time, Naruto Uzumaki only had half of the Nine-Tails inside him.
Therefore, we can know that Hashirama Senju's chakra amount is approximately equal to half of the Nine-Tails' chakra plus the entire Naruto Uzumaki's chakra amount!
Horror!
Even without using Wood Release, the power of such a large amount of chakra is absolutely incredible, even with just ordinary ninjutsu.
Just like Madara Uchiha's Fire Release, its power is significantly greater than that of other ninjas' Fire Release techniques!
Therefore, at present, the power of Genji Takuno's Wood Release is in a state that is neither too strong nor too weak.
However, unlike Yamato in the original work, the opponent's strength had basically reached its peak and even regressed afterward, while he continued to improve! And he would continue to improve!
Yuan Tuoye smiled slightly, then placed his hands on the ground again, retracting all the trees that had been created by Wood Release.
Later, he also needed to explore the Wood Release ninjutsu a bit. The ninjutsu he remembered were basically based on the characteristics of Wood Release itself, so the difficulty was not too great.
After completing the experiment, Gen Takuno tidied up the temporary laboratory and headed towards the land of rivers. He still had one more thing to do.
However, since there was no mirror here, he didn't notice that he seemed to look younger than before.
Although the shadow clone may have seen it, its focus was always on the safety of the main body. After seeing that there was no problem, it dispersed and did not notice anything.
If Yuan Tuoye knew, he would probably have a headache. Getting younger is a good thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing either.
