Chapter 324 - Chapter 322: I'll Leave It To You To Shake This World

After resolving the matter with Takumi, even with Seiki's usual calmness, he felt a rare stirring within.

Finally, the chakra from One-Tail to Nine-Tails had been fully collected!

"Five whole years!" Seiki sighed softly. Truthfully, he could have completed this chakra gathering process several years earlier if he had rushed.

But he had always been patient. This amount of time was completely worth it to avoid drawing attention.

After his sigh, Seiki used [Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage] to dive deep underground. He carved out a small chamber thousands of meters below ground, set up various barriers around it, and only then carefully retrieved the collected bijuu chakra.

The nine balls of chakra seemed to share a strange attraction. Once released into this confined space, they started pulling toward each other, drifting in the same direction.

"Could it be because these chakra lack consciousness and are instinctively returning to their origin?" Seiki watched this scene with slight surprise. "Well, at least this saves me the effort of merging them myself."

Like how Asura and Indra continually reincarnated through chakra, and how the Sage of the Six Paths' chakra drifted through the world, chakra itself can carry consciousness and instinct.

Under Seiki's observation, the bijuu chakra fusion initially proceeded well. However, later on, conflicts emerged between them again, even showing signs of instability and potential eruption.

Seeing this situation, Seiki immediately intervened, separating the previously fused chakra.

"It seems I really needed an outer shell after all!" Seiki shook his head slightly.

Actually, he wasn't too surprised by this outcome.

Besides the bijuu chakra from One-Tail to Nine-Tails, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which would contain them, was naturally extremely important.

With his current strength, seizing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from Nagato would be effortless.

However, he had no intention of doing so.

Firstly, he harbored some caution toward the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, fearing it might contain hidden mechanisms left behind by the Six Paths.

Although merely a baseless guess, regarding someone who could be considered the ultimate victor of the ninja wars, he would never show the slightest disregard.

When facing entities potentially threatening his safety, he always prepared for the worst possible outcome.

His kindness was only for those who posed no threat.

Secondly, if he really obtained the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the chakra he injected into it might become a miniature Ten-Tails!

After all, the Ten-Tails was Kaguya Otsutsuki's container. If Kaguya's consciousness happened to descend, he couldn't guarantee maintaining control over the Ten-Tails. Though naturally, directly destroying this miniature Ten-Tails wouldn't be a problem—he had already implanted failsafes within these chakras.

Therefore, what he needed to create was a body completely different from the Ten-Tails.

"The current issue is finding a shell capable of containing bijuu chakra and preventing it from going out of control!"

Seiki carefully reabsorbed the nine balls of chakra. "In our world, only Dragon Veins can rival the power of Otsutsuki, as far as I know."

...

Three nights later, Seiki resumed his previous preparations at the Loulan Dragon Veins site.

Under his guidance, the Dragon Pulse Golden Chakra enveloped the Bijuu Chakra.

Just like last time, as the Bijuu Chakra fused halfway, the conglomerate began showing signs of instability again.

However, this time the conglomerate didn't erupt during the unstable fusion. Instead, it was suppressed by the Dragon Pulse Chakra. With nowhere to vent its energy, it fused together—grudgingly, as if in protest.

"Good, it can work!" Seiki's eyes gleamed with sharp light. He steadied himself and continued guiding the Dragon Pulse Chakra with patience.

Finally, those Bijuu Chakra seemed to accept their fate, stopped resisting, and completely merged together.

Moments later, a perfect body radiating a faint golden glow appeared before Seiki.

Seiki took a deep breath, placed his right hand on the golden body's chest, and absorbed this clone into his body.

"This feeling... it's incredibly powerful, unlike anything I've ever felt before!" Closing his eyes to savor his newfound strength, Seiki finally opened them again. Five elements—water, fire, lightning, wind, and earth—danced at his fingertips. "In this state, my elemental affinities are complete. No, it's far beyond that!"

Looking solemnly at his palm, Seiki noticed that under some force's influence, these five elements were gradually merging together.

A powerful ability surpassing Kekkei Genkai, and even beyond Kekkei Tota in his estimation, was being born in his hands.

"As I thought, between Kekkei Tota and Kekkei Mora, there still lies an unbridgeable chasm!" Seiki sighed.

It wasn't that he had consciously understood the fusion of five elements; rather, it was the instinct of this body, as if it were an innate talent.

But somewhat regrettably, there were only the five elements, without Yin and Yang.

After all, the Bijuu themselves have Yin and Yang aspects. The portion of Chakra he had gathered naturally couldn't represent the complete Bijuu.

Even so, Seiki was already quite satisfied, since this was merely a crude imitation of the Nine-Tails. To have reached this level was already quite fortunate.

Most importantly, after being transformed by the Dragon Pulse Chakra, this was a power uniquely his own—completely unrelated to the Otsutsuki.

"My current strength might already rival that of Naruto and Sasuke who received the Six Paths' blessings," Seiki inwardly assessed his current power level.

That might sound impressive, but in reality, it was merely part of the strength the Six Paths had given after his death.

Compared to the Six Paths in his prime, he was still countless gaps away. Compared to Kaguya Otsutsuki, who hadn't given birth and thus hadn't lost her power, he was even farther removed—beyond comparison.

And the Otsutsuki clan—the ones who could even make Kaguya Otsutsuki feel fear—was beyond his imagination altogether!

Sighing, he muttered, "I'm still too weak after all..."

With this realization, Seiki separated the golden clone from his body once again.

In an instant, that overwhelmingly powerful strength plummeted back to rock bottom.

It's easy to go from luxury to simplicity, but going back the other way is another story entirely.

Having tasted such overwhelming power, one could easily fall for the illusion it creates.

Fortunately, Seiki possessed a strong will and quickly regained his composure.

"As long as I merge with this shadow clone, conquering the entire shinobi no sekai will be effortless. Even if Madara Uchiha returns in his prime and regains the Rinnegan, he still wouldn't survive a single strike from me."

Thinking this, Seiki shook his head. "But unfortunately, doing so would be meaningless. Even if I ruled the entire world, once the Otsutsuki arrive, everything I possess would be nothing more than a fleeting illusion!"

"Only strength is eternal!"

In Seiki's plan, he needed to involve the entire shinobi no sekai in an arms race.

His past life's experience had already proven that war was the perfect breeding ground for advancing military technology.

By harnessing the collective wisdom of the entire world, he could trigger a major breakthrough in the level of Ninjutsu in the current shinobi no sekai, allowing him to stand on their shoulders and truly grasp the secrets of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and even Kekkei Mora.

If the Otsutsuki valued life itself, he valued the wisdom it produced.

Of course, the premise of realizing his vision was to cultivate more geniuses within the shinobi no sekai and improve the overall environment.

When disaster strikes, only then will people unleash their full potential to protect this world—but only if they feel a deep sense of belonging to it!

At first glance, forcefully unifying the shinobi no sekai might seem sufficient.

But in reality, it wouldn't work. The human heart is both the simplest and the most complex thing.

The factions he unifies might outwardly follow his plans, developing Ninjutsu and following instructions to contribute, but they would never perform truly well.

In Seiki's view, the best approach was to lead them to devote themselves wholeheartedly—even pushing beyond 120% of their potential—rather than forcing them.

To achieve this, he would need to put more effort into influencing people's hearts and minds.

Thinking this, Seiki split off a portion of his spirit and infused it into the Golden Body.

Then, the figure's physique and appearance began transforming, aligning with a certain image in his mind.

As he watched the eyes in that body gradually gain vitality, Seiki chuckled softly. "I'll leave the task of stirring up this world to you. Mr. Sosuke Aizen!"
