Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 586: Mysterious as an Abyss

“How do you know that I have transplanted Sharingan and Shodaime-sama’s Cells?”

Ever since he had completed the implantation of Hashirama Cells and Sharingan in his body, Danzo regards these two as his trump card… and he put a lot of effort into making sure that his trump card remains a secret…

For this, not only does Danzo always keep his right arm bandaged and sealed with gauntlets like seals to avoid anyone from noticing any abnormality in his right hand, he still keeps his right arm hidden inside his dark-grey robe and generally uses a walking crutch to highlight his fragility in order to fool his enemies.

Moreover, since implantation, he has made fewer and fewer public appearances, as such, very few people are aware of the fact that he has transplanted Sharingan and Hashirama Cells…

And even those very few people only include his subordinates in Root––excluding Naomi because he didn’t trust her enough with this knowledge––and Orochimaru…

Before his defection from Konoha, Orochimaru was one of the insiders in the Hashirama Cells research that was being conducted in Root, and he had solved a lot of technical problems that Danzo was facing back then, therefore, when Homusubi––who shouldn’t be aware of this information––mentioned ‘Hashirama Cells and Sharingan transplantation’, Danzo’s first suspect was naturally Orochimaru. And without waiting for Homusubi to answer his question, Danzo’s stern gaze filled with killing intent landed on Orochimaru…

Feeling the undisguised killing intent of Danzo as well as several Root Shinobi hidden in the Shadows, Orochimaru remained unperturbed, and shrugged indifferently, “Don’t look at me… I don’t have anything to do with how she knows your so-called secret…”

After giving a casual answer, Orochimaru glanced at Homusubi, he was curious as to why did she mention such a thing so casually… Of course, Orochimaru didn’t really find it strange that Homusubi was aware of Danzo’s little secret.

Orochimaru guessed that the reason why Homusubi knows of Danzo’s so-called secret is probably Fujin.

Orochimaru knows that Fujin has Byakugan, and using that Byakugan, he must have noticed Danzo’s little secret and reported it back to the Amatsukami Organization, so, Homusubi who is part of the Amatsukami is also aware of Danzo’s little secret. However, Danzo didn’t know that Fujin had a pair of Byakugan, as such, he didn’t suspect Fujin, and focused on other possible suspects… which is him…

Naturally, Orochimaru didn’t care whether he was being suspected or not…

Danzo didn’t believe Orochimaru either… and seeing this, Homusubi folded her arms under her bust, and said in an impatient tone, “If you think that Amatsukami wouldn’t even be aware of such a piece of information before contacting you, then either you are underestimating us too much, or you are overestimating yourself too much…

We took the trouble of contacting you, naturally, we did so after investigating your physical condition and background… And it would be best for you to understand that acquiring such simple information is not that big of a deal for us, so don’t be too surprised…

Now sit down, and let me continue, I haven’t yet finished speaking what I was talking about…”

Danzo’s skeptical gaze swept across Homusubi, Orochimaru, and even Chief Researcher who was standing behind him, then finding no flaw, he finally took back his seat, but with a sullen look on his face.

With Danzo seated back, Homusubi started flipping through several documents that she was carrying and explained at the same time, “So, as I was saying… the fact that you have transplanted Hashirama Cells and several three-tomoe Sharingan makes your situation quite complicated… although, this is also a big advantage for you…” Homusubi paused here, and after handing over a few pieces of parchments to Danzo, she continued, “Hiruko’s choices of Kekkei Genkai that he selected for the Chimera Ritual were Steel Release, Swift Release, Storm Release, Dark Release, and Sharingan…

From Hiruko’s perspective, he gathered five Kekkei Genkai that he believed would make him the perfect Shinobi… but that’s not exactly how it actually worked when he absorbed them…”

Orochimaru, Danzo, and the Chief Researcher looked at Homusubi with curious expression…

Homusubi continued, “If you look closely, you’ll find that among the five Kekkei Genkai Hiruko had selected, whether intentionally or unintentionally he had gathered several different Chakra Natures…

‘Steel Release’ primarily represents Earth Chakra Nature, ‘Swift Release’ primarily represents Wind Chakra Nature, ‘Storm Release’ represents Lightning and Water Chakra Nature, ‘Dark Release’ primarily represents Water Chakra Nature, and then the ‘Sharingan’ represents Yin Chakra Nature…

By acquiring these particular five Kekkei Genkai, Hiruko managed to acquire five different Chakra Natures in a somewhat balanced state… So, it can be said that the ritual he designed was stable for five Chakra Natures… and allowed him to survive…”

After this deep explanation, Danzo nodded, but his expression was still gloomy because of what happened a little while ago.

Orochimaru had an indifferent smile throughout the explanation because he had personally witnessed Hiruko’s Absorption Ritual, therefore, he is aware of the entire process…

Homusubi paid no mind, and said, “However, I say that what really made him survive and succeed wasn’t the somewhat balanced Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual he designed, but pure luck!

If not for that luck, there is just no way he would have managed to survive because the ritual he designed had a fatal flaw… And the ironic thing is that even Hiruko never realized this fatal flaw, although the reason for him not being able to realize it is his lack of knowledge and understanding of Chakra!

Nonetheless, because he was lucky, his luck made up for his lack of knowledge and allowed him to become the so-called perfect Shinobi.”

As Homusubi’s words fell Danzo was again puzzled…

Even Orochimaru’s eyebrows twisted in a frown because he too is unable to see the flaw that Homusubi is talking about…

Homusubi did not make them wait too long, and directly explained, “From the Chakra Natures perspective, Hiruko’s ritual focused on the integration of just five Chakra Natures, he may have succeeded and survived, but this is actually not safe…

For the ritual to be considered truly safe and successful, we must also add Fire Chakra Nature and Yang Chakra Nature in the mix as well… that is, we must consider all seven Chakra Natures.

Only when all the seven Chakra natures truly integrate, the success rate of the ritual will increase, and make the ritual truly successful.”

Danzo questioned, “If that’s the case, then how did Hiruko succeed?”

Homusubi smirked, and answered, “I mentioned earlier that Hiruko survived purely on his luck… The reason being that among the five prey he had selected, the Uchiha Shinobi with the Sharingan not only represented Yin Chakra Nature but also represented Fire Chakra Nature because you know, Uchiha Clan is naturally good at Fire Style, and by absorbing that Uchiha Shinobi, he managed to acquire both Fire and Yin Chakra Nature…

Similarly, the ‘Swift Release’ user he captured was actually an Uzumaki descendant so he provided Hiruko with Yang Chakra Nature apart from the Wind Chakra Nature…

Therefore, even though Hiruko should have obtained only five Chakra Natures as per his design, he still managed to acquire all seven of them purely based on his luck…”

When Danzo heard this theory, he was taken aback…

Let alone Danzo, even Orochimaru, and the Chief Researcher were no different and seemed as if they were lost in thought.

‘Integration of all Seven Chakra Natures?’ Such an idea kept revolving in their mind, but they were unable to imagine such a thing happening…

Whether it is Danzo, Chief Researcher, or Orochimaru, they are all limited by their vision…

In this Shinobi World where the fusion of just two Chakra Nature is already considered a very big deal, and three is the highest limit that an individual has managed, integration of all the seven Chakra Natures is something they have never even thought to be possible…

At the same time, none of them have enough understanding of the Yin and Yang chakra Natures, so they don’t really understand what their combination can represent.

So, after listening to Homusubi’s explanation, all three of them were shocked, and realized their previous negligence…

The one most shocked was none other than Orochimaru who had already put away his indifferent and casual expression, his snake-like eyes with vertical slits were intensely focused on Homusubi, and he was thinking, ‘I didn’t expect that Amatsukami’s research on Chimera Jutsu would be so thorough… No, it is better to say that the knowledge that the members of Amatsukami have is naturally very advanced… otherwise, it is simply impossible for each of them to have such advanced mastery of their respective fields…’

When it comes to knowledge and research, Orochimaru is highly proud of himself, because there are very few people who can match him… however the theories put forth by Homusubi really opened Orochimaru’s eyes… He also realized that similar to Hiruko he too has been limiting his vision… At the same time, Orochimaru can’t help but become more vigilant of Amatsukami… because at this moment, he realized that the deeper he tries to figure out the Amatsukami Organization, the more mysterious it becomes… just like… just like an abyss…
