The reality is somewhat frustrating, Shuimu is almost reaching the limit of his conventional strength.

There is a way to go further, but it will be difficult to catch up with the Fourth Ninja World War.

"How should the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki be dealt with?"

If the emergence of these ultimate forces is inevitable, how to deal with them must be put on the agenda.

"Clone another Hyuga clan member?"

Mizuki was a little hesitant, as the ninja clones with Hyuga bloodline were of the least value to Mizuki.

The Byakugan has no direct combat capability, and the possibility of evolving into the Samsara Eye is only theoretical.

Although there are signs of success, the amount of chakra required, even with Mizuki's main body and all his physical clones, collected day by day using the Breath Condensation Technique, is not enough to keep up with the appearance of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Mizuki, who doesn't know how to use the soft fist, is unable to bring out the essence of the Byakugan's combat power. As for reconnaissance capabilities, one Byakugan is enough.

Judging from the current research results, the chakra attributes of the Hyuga people mostly tend to be fire, lightning, and earth, but the polarity is very weak, and overall it appears to be stable.

They have good activity and excellent external ability, but it is extremely difficult for them to bring out the power of the Five Elements Ninjutsu. It is no wonder that the Hyuga people would develop the soft fist specifically for this purpose. Except for the more basic Three Body Techniques and medical Ninjutsu, the others are not suitable for the Hyuga people.

"Is this necessary?"

The purpose of collecting the Byakugan was just to facilitate reconnaissance and observation of the effect of the tailed beast's chakra on Sakura. At the beginning, she didn't take the synthesis of the Rinnegan seriously. Even the current attempt was just a dispensable test.

"We can't find enough chakra to activate the Samsara Eye, which requires the sacrifice of a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Using the almost endless chakra and vitality of the tailed beasts, especially the Ten-Tails, to forcibly enhance it is just an idea, and there is no plan to implement it. Is it appropriate to create another life just for a little possibility?"

An unexpected attempt led to the birth of Yukimura. It would seem a bit hasty to allow a meaningless life to come into this world just because of my own guess.

"Then you decide!"

When faced with such a difficult problem involving the nature of life and moral dilemmas, Shuimu is the only one who can make the decision.

"However, the birth of new life is not a bad thing. It is much better than killing people!"

Isn't that what life is all about? A miracle that suddenly appears in the dead silence. It is a bit too utilitarian to measure the value of life that has not been born.

"The weight of life is hard to bear!"

Shuimu smiled and didn't argue.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. The Byakugan is just moving a little bit. It's not causing any serious harm, and it won't affect the Byakugan's observation ability. If it gets out of control, just remove it. We can find another solution then!"

"All right!"

The issue of rolling eyes is not very urgent, but another problem is more tricky.

Mizuki used many methods to try to analyze the derivatives of White Zetsu cultivated from the Outer Path Demon Statue obtained from Uchiha Obito's underground base in the Frost Country, and the results were not unsatisfactory.

It's a pity that during this encounter with the Outer Path Golem, a portion of the Outer Path Golem's tissue had been stripped away by the Wind Style - Rasenshuriken, but the time spent in the magma was too long...

If you are not a person with extremely keen perception, you will not be able to feel the slightest chakra fluctuation in a palm-sized piece of charcoal.

"The vitality of the tissue separated from the Outer Path Golem was lost too quickly, and the other small fragments had already turned into ash. If I hadn't acted quickly, I wouldn't have been able to get this piece of charcoal."

"What's the use of this?"

The vitality is dissipating. Even if there is still some activity, it will soon be dead.

It's not that Shuimu doesn't want to use it, the key is that Shuimu has no way to deal with it. The all-purpose potion and splitting potion that have always worked in the past are simply ineffective.

This is no wonder. Whether in terms of size or essence, the sacred tree is a completely different level of creature than the source of Shuimu's medicine. This is like using the medicine for anesthetic mice to stun elephants. The effect is really poor.

I threw in various nutrients, input chakra, and even fairy chakra, but there was no reaction.

"Try inputting chakra again!"

"Why, what's the difference?"

With some doubts, Mizuki injected chakra into the charcoal.

"Still no reaction... Huh? That's not right!"

Unlike before, there were actually signs of chakra being absorbed. Although it was very weak, it was indeed a sign of recovery!

"What did you do?"

Nobumasa and Kouji, who were in charge of this research, smiled.

“The method is actually very simple.”

Xinzhen took the remains of the outer demon statue and threw it into the culture medium on the side.

"A sample of the plant cells that the Outer Path Demon Statue uses to absorb chakra and create derivatives of White Zetsu!"

Shuimu was shocked:

"Is it that simple?"

"Things like tailed beasts and chakra are not that strict. They are just the medium between illusion and reality. As long as we find the corresponding key, many problems can be solved easily."

Shuimu lowered his head in thought.

The fragments of the Outer Path Golem picked up by Mizuki were almost completely inactive.

But the essence of the Outer Path Demon Statue is the shell of the sacred tree, and absorbing chakra is like an instinct.

But there has to be a way to absorb chakra. In addition to the roots of the sacred tree that penetrate deep into the earth and plunder the natural energy of the ninja world, the vines that wrap people up when the sacred tree descends is also one of the means; creating derivatives of White Zetsu can barely be considered.

"Pure fragments of the Outer Path Demon Statue are just harder, dying pieces of wood. Only with the assistance of external forces can they absorb chakra."

This thing has completely lost the ability to actively absorb chakra. If you just throw it somewhere, it will die soon. Even if it is burned into a ball of charcoal, it still has some activity, and its vitality is extremely tenacious.

"Besides being able to absorb chakra, what else can this fragment do?"

The sacred tree is an invading weapon with plant characteristics. It is very likely that the sacred tree also has many characteristics of plants, such as asexual reproduction methods such as separation reproduction and cuttings reproduction. The many White Zetsu with basically the same genes in their bodies are evidence of this.

But how long did it take for the sacred tree to absorb the natural energy of the ninja world from its seed to bear fruit? A thousand years or ten thousand years? Even the Six Paths Sage probably couldn't figure it out.

Mizuki couldn't even forcibly upgrade his Byakugan to a Samsaragan, so how could he have the ability to cultivate a bunch of dying fragments of the sacred tree to the point where they could be used?

Xinzhen shook his head:

"It's impossible to rely on it to resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and it's dispensable for improving combat, but if it is properly modified, this fragment will be a very good carrier..."
