Chapter 169: Achieving Post-Natal Otsutsuki, Next Target
"Okay! Konan, get ready, I'm going in!"
Konan nodded, activating the Dance of the Shikigami, her whole body turning into paper.
Alex tightened his paper body and inserted himself into her chest position with a whoosh. Fitting seamlessly, with the cooperation of Konan's will, he took over her body actively.
"Hmm?" Alex felt a slight strangeness on his lips.
He pursed them subconsciously. "Seems like too many ice lollies were eaten yesterday. Can't be so greedy next time..."
He took a light breath, his expression returning to calm. Holding his breath and focusing, he took out the test tube containing Hinata's blood from the Storage White Paper. Crimson and cold.
Without hesitation, he pulled out the cork with a pop and poured it onto his right palm. A ball of white light emerged from his palm synchronously.
Chimera Technique activated!
White sparkles representing the Hyuga bloodline precipitated rapidly. The red blood faded visibly until it became pale red clear water, which Alex tossed away with a flip of his hand.
"Next is the final fusion..."
He sat cross-legged, his expression very serious. The Chimera Technique continued to activate. The white light cluster in his right palm wrapping the Hyuga bloodline merged into the body instantly.
Entering the fusion stage.
Progress was very smooth. Under the guidance of the Chimera power, the white sparkles merged silently into the cells of the whole body. Another segment of genetic code representing the Hyuga bloodline was added to the underlying genes.
Hyuga bloodline fusion successful!
Under Konan's closed eyelids, her pale orange pupils instantly turned into pure white pupils. She possessed the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan!
In that instant.
The six Otsutsuki descendant bloodlines in her body, which were originally distinct and non-interfering, suddenly began to riot. The body began to emit extremely strong Chakra fluctuations from the inside out. Konan's pale blue-purple hair moved without wind.
Inside her body, the six bloodlines—Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, Kaguya (Shikotsumyaku), and Hagoromo—faintly transmitted a desire...
—To merge into one.
This was a call and instinct from the depths of the bloodline. A thousand years ago, they were one. They were just forced apart by the passage of time.
If one merely obtained these six bloodlines mechanically through cell transplantation or other means, although the call would still come, they couldn't truly merge into one. Each bloodline could only truly merge into the body with the help of the Chimera power. And at this moment, only the Chimera power could help the six bloodlines merge into one.
Alex fully activated the Chimera Technique. Following the instinct of the six bloodlines, he used the Chimera power as a catalyst and fusing agent to merge them.
Time passed slowly.
The cells and genes in Konan's body were undergoing drastic changes. The six underlying codes representing the Otsutsuki descendant bloodlines, under the full traction of the Chimera Technique, merged step by step.
Finally, a brand new, stronger underlying code was generated in the genes. Only this one!
Representing the brand new Otsutsuki bloodline!
At this moment, Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Shikotsumyaku, Hagoromo, and Uzumaki all merged into one.
Achieving Post-Natal Otsutsuki!
The goal all along had finally succeeded!!
In an instant, Konan's shoulder-length short hair extended with a whoosh, reaching her waist.
Alex opened his eyes, which were filled with endless joy and excitement.
"Success!"
"Haha, Otsutsuki! Finally made it with my Chimera Technique!"
He stood up abruptly, feeling the state of the body. Indescribably light and powerful. The overall cell activity and vitality had increased by too much.
More importantly...
Alex raised his arms. The skin was snowy and crystal clear. It became even whiter—not pale, but a white purer than ice and snow. Even the hair, aside from growing longer suddenly, didn't turn silver-white.
Perhaps because of the post-natal synthesis of Otsutsuki, Konan's skin didn't become pale like Kaguya's. It was still within the scope of a normal person.
After feeling it for a while, Alex flew out of Konan's body, returning control to let her feel her own changes too.
"Konan, how does it feel?"
"So strong." Konan felt carefully, clenching her fists. "Physical strength has increased by a large margin again, and Chakra is growing rapidly. I can hardly estimate it; it seems inexhaustible."
Alex nodded. "Aside from various Dojutsu, the Otsutsuki clan has the most robust bodies. Strong defense and strong regeneration capabilities are their capital to traverse the universe."
"Alex, do I have Six Paths strength now?"
"Uh..." Alex hesitated. "I'm not too sure either. Normal strength is probably between Super Kage and Six Paths."
"The Otsutsuki clan isn't all Six Paths level either. Before eating the Chakra Fruit, Kaguya was obviously not a Six Paths level powerhouse."
Konan looked at Alex. "Then how can I become Six Paths level?"
Alex answered directly, "As far as I know, one way is like the Sage of Six Paths, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. The other is like Kaguya Otsutsuki, eating a complete Chakra Fruit, becoming a top-tier Kekkei Mora powerhouse in one fell swoop."
"Ten-Tails Jinchuriki... Chakra Fruit..." Konan murmured. Both required Tailed Beasts.
As for how to make her Six Paths level, Alex had already decided.
"Konan, we will replicate Kaguya Otsutsuki's path, directly eating a complete Chakra Fruit to achieve Kekkei Mora."
Rather than becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it was better to be just like Kaguya Otsutsuki. She was the Ten-Tails, but the Ten-Tails wasn't her. Immortal and indestructible, only sealable. No need to be like Six Paths Obito or Six Paths Madara—once the Ten-Tails was extracted, they could only wait for death. This was the most fatal weakness and absolutely unacceptable.
Konan hummed, "Alex, I'll listen to you."
Then she asked doubtfully, "But with the natural energy intensity of the Ninja World, can it still produce a second complete Chakra Fruit?"
She had heard Alex say it. Even in the universe, the Ninja World's natural energy was extremely dense. Enough to produce a very strong Chakra Fruit. Ordinary planets would be destroyed after producing one at most, and the quality wouldn't be as good as the one Kaguya Otsutsuki ate.
But now the Ninja World's natural energy had been consumed by the previous one by a large half, becoming thin. Could it still bear fruit successfully?
Moreover... Konan continued asking, "Alex, the Chakra Fruit Kaguya ate probably took at least a thousand years to grow. How can we wait for such a long time? Even if we suck dry all the ninjas and natural energy in the Ninja World, not to mention the long time, it probably won't produce an equivalent Chakra Fruit..."
"Well..." Alex floated his paper body. "To accelerate the God Tree's growth and catalyze the Chakra Fruit, we can only feed the God Tree more energy. Like Tailed Beasts, Otsutsuki corpses, and the like."
"Tailed Beasts? Otsutsuki?" Konan was puzzled. "There are only nine Tailed Beasts in the Ninja World, seven in Obito Uchiha's hands. To summon the God Tree, where are there more Tailed Beasts?"
Alex smiled. "This world naturally has no surplus Tailed Beasts, but other worlds do~"
