Chapter 3: The Defection of Beirukhu, Research
A wisp of white smoke rose from the scroll, slowly revealing a tall, slender figure—it was Minamoto Takuno, who had just been at the experimental base in Hiruko.
He had long ago placed many scrolls of psychic magic in his home and his experimental base. When he needed to use them, he only needed to tell the crow to open the scrolls.
As for why the crow wasn't allowed to carry the scroll before, it was naturally because carrying the scroll would make it immediately obvious that this was a summoning beast, directly revealing its existence.
Secondly, the size of this scroll is almost the same as the scroll that Jiraiya carried, and even a crow would have a hard time carrying it.
Yuan Tuoye also wanted to go directly to his experimental base, but unfortunately, Konoha was always shrouded in a barrier. Although it seemed useless, he knew the password to enter and exit.
The problem is that if one uses psychic abilities to enter and exit, it's equivalent to breaking in without identity verification, and it wouldn't be good if one were mistaken for a spy.
Therefore, even if he uses the Summoning Jutsu at the experimental base, he will not use it inside the barrier of Konoha.
As for Hiruko's experimental base? That's naturally within Konoha's barrier!
The seal was broken by the spirit that had returned. Looking at the pile of scrolls in front of him that recorded the research process of the Oni-Garaku Technique, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Finally, he couldn't help but cover his forehead with one hand and burst into laughter.
"Hehe... Hahahaha!"
"Finally... I've finally reached this point! Demon Sprout Technique!!"
Fortunately, there weren't many residents around Yuan Tuono's house, otherwise they would probably have been startled awake by Yuan Tuono's laughter and shouts.
The laughter stopped, and Yuan Tuono stared at the scrolls with bloodshot eyes.
Although it was already very late, he was in no condition to sleep, so he might as well... just start eating!
On the other side, at Hiruko's experimental base, Hiruko's face still showed excitement as he walked in.
He experimented and experimented, but still couldn't see a path that would allow him to surpass the Sannin.
Now, he has not only gained more inspiration than the Sannin from Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan, but he has also successfully placed a puppet technique on him. Now he just needs to wait quietly for the opportunity...
Thinking of this, Hiruko's face once again revealed an undisguised smile.
As for the slight increase in humidity in the experimental base, he naturally didn't notice it, and he didn't even check whether his experimental records had been tampered with.
After suppressing his excitement, Hiruko began to think about his future plans. He wasn't in a hurry to get the Sharingan from Kakashi; one two-tomoe Sharingan wasn't enough.
The Sharingan can only unleash its full power when it reaches the three-tomoe stage.
So, the next step is to find other bloodline limits.
Hiruko frowned, pondering the bloodline limits he could acquire. Besides the Sharingan, the village also had the Byakugan…
Just as Hiruko was pondering this, the fact that Kakashi Hatake had been attacked was discovered.
It's important to understand that Kakashi Hatake is currently a hero of the entire Hidden Leaf Village. For him to be attacked while recovering from his injuries is beyond what the Hokage can tolerate.
Therefore, three people who were very familiar with Hiruko were assigned to this place and are now heading towards the experimental base along the trail left by Hiruko.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Gen Takuno anymore.
…………
It was still that dilapidated house.
Since Yuan Tuoye returned here after obtaining the Oni-Garaku technique, there has been no movement for several days, as if no one is left inside.
However, inside, there was a person as hard as stone who had been sitting in one spot for a very long time.
Yuan Tuoye had been sitting there motionless, holding the experimental records about the Oni-Garra Technique for a long time. A beard had grown on his face, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, a sign of fatigue.
Even so, it was clear that his physical exhaustion did not affect his mental excitement.
His pupils remained bright and piercing as he continued to study the art of the Ghost Sprout.
During this time, he also used his clairvoyance to observe Hiruko's experimental base, and as expected, the other side did not discover him.
Moreover, not long after, Gen Takuno spotted the three legendary Sannin and guessed that Kakashi Hatake's group had probably been discovered.
During this time, he also suppressed his desire to continue studying and had the crow observe the actions of the three ninjas from as far away as possible. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party's target was only Hiruko.
He was genuinely worried that the three Sannin would discover his presence. Although he had a backup plan to escape, this would seriously affect his subsequent plans.
However, he also confirmed that Hiruko had already prepared to leave Konoha the moment he attacked Kakashi Hatake, or that he had already prepared a means of escape.
Perhaps the reason the opponent was able to escape from Konoha was not because they held back?
But whatever the truth is, none of this has anything to do with him, who has already mastered the Ghost Sprout Technique!
Having confirmed these things, Gen Takuno stopped the crows from staring at this place and allowed them to roam freely and feed in Konoha. He then focused all his attention on the Oni-Garra Technique.
This continued for several days.
Yuan Tuoye looked at the final experimental record and the blank space behind it, slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them, revealing both excitement and regret.
The exciting thing is that the Oni-Garra technique can now be used, albeit with some difficulty.
Unfortunately, the Oni-Garuru technique ultimately has its limits.
Although, according to Hiruko in the original work, if he fused the five bloodline limits, he would be able to achieve immortality.
However, Gen Takuno was 90% skeptical of this claim.
Currently, it seems that only Kaguya Otsutsuki possesses immortality, which is why she can only be sealed away and not killed.
Hiruko thought he could achieve immortality by relying on the five bloodline limits?
That's far too frivolous! Even the Bloodline Cultivation System couldn't achieve this!
Furthermore, in the original work, Hiruko did not actually achieve the fusion of the five bloodline limits; it only existed in his imagination. Therefore, the so-called immortality is even less credible.
Yuan Tuoye knew that there were all sorts of powerful figures behind him. Even Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara, who possessed the Six Paths Body, could not achieve immortality, let alone the ordinary Oni-Garuru Technique.
However, none of this is a big deal.
First of all, Minamoto Takuno wouldn't waste so many slots on ordinary bloodline limits like Hiruko in the original work. With his "Heavenly Eye," he would be far superior to Hiruko even with just the Oni-Garara Technique.
Secondly, a smile appeared on Yuan Tuoye's lips. He had also considered his plans after acquiring the Ghost Sprout Technique.
He stood up, stretched, and listened to the cracking sounds coming from his bones, as if they were protesting his exploitation.
He hadn't slept for days and naturally wanted to rest, but the problem was that his stomach was empty, so he needed to fill it up before closing his eyes.
Finally, Gen Takuno pushed open the door that had been silent for several days.
In his eagerness to rest, he disregarded everything else, focusing his chakra on the soles of his feet and forming a hand seal.
"Body Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
Yuan Tuoye's figure disappeared in front of the door.
But not long after, he returned home again. This time, he ignored everything and collapsed onto the bed, falling fast asleep.
As for washing up and such, let's do that after we've rested!
He was exhausted!
