Iron Country base, snow fluttering, the cold as relentless as ever.
Deep within a hidden mountainside, a grand laboratory was operating, seemingly never stopping, not even for a moment.
The air was filled with a faint smell of medicine, the room was brightly lit, several cold white fluorescent lights illuminating every corner, reflecting a cold metallic luster on the alloy walls.
The light passed through huge containers and petri dishes, projecting a blue-green glow through some unknown liquids and tissue samples, casting the three young faces in a ghastly green light.
"Fusing ninja beasts is just the beginning, next, I'll need your help."
Hiruko looked at Nian and Orochimaru opposite him, his tone sincere.
"What do you need us to do?"
"Help me capture someone." Hiruko rubbed his hands together. "The target is an elite Jōnin from Iwagakure, who has mastered the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai. Relying on myself alone will be quite difficult."
"Iwagakure?" Nian frowned slightly. "Isn't Iwagakure busy fighting Konoha? If we weaken the Iwa ninja's strength at this time, wouldn't we be indirectly helping Konoha?"
The situation was turbulent at the moment, the Second Shinobi World War was in full swing, Iron Country was peaceful, but the entire Amegakure was in chaos.
Orochimaru saw the hesitation in Nian's eyes and asked, "Does it have to be now?"
Hiruko nodded solemnly, "Before September 12th of this year, Ishiseki Mountain, north of Amegakure, I must complete the absorption before this day ends. The timing, location, and person are all indispensable."
"Can't you change the target?"
"No."
The two looked at each other, and both began to ponder.
Seeing this, Hiruko immediately gave them a reassuring pill: "Don't worry, I've already consulted with Master about this matter, and the entire plan has been approved."
"Really?" Nian blinked.
"Even if you gave me a few guts, I wouldn't dare to lie about this kind of thing." Hiruko raised his hands high. "He said that everything should be based on my plan, as long as it doesn't involve the tailed beasts, even if it interferes with the Shinobi World War, it's not a problem."
Hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, then there's no problem."
Orochimaru looked at Hiruko, habitually licking his lips, "Your Oniyara Technique can actually absorb Kekkei Genkai? Interesting, I'm really getting more and more curious about your plan."
"No, the Oniyara Technique has been perfected to the point where fusing a single attribute is naturally easy, but it can't directly absorb Kekkei Genkai, so special technique conditions are required." Hiruko shook his head, his eyes falling on Orochimaru:
"Remember the topic I told you about? The activity level of the Oniyara plants is affected by celestial phenomena and the environment..."
Hearing this, Orochimaru showed a thoughtful expression.
"The techniques that need to be prepared also differ depending on the target to be absorbed, but I don't have any intelligence on other targets right now, so I can only start with a single target, which also determines the order in which I absorb."
Hiruko spread his hands, explaining in detail.
"In addition to the technique, absorbing a Kekkei Genkai must simultaneously have the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"First of all, the so-called Heaven is the annular solar eclipse. When the sun is blocked by the moon, and the light of the eclipse shines on the earth, the Oniyara Technique will become active to an unimaginable extent. Even a Kekkei Genkai can be perfectly integrated into my genes."
"And Earth refers to the best location to observe the annular solar eclipse. I've calculated that there are basically several annular solar eclipses every year, but if you want to see an annular eclipse again in the same location, you need to wait 224 years. It can be said that you only have this one chance in your entire life."
"Finally, Man, that is, the target I want to absorb, this is a long story."
Hiruko walked to the lab table and took out a chakra paper from the storage cabinet, injecting chakra in front of the two.
Nian widened his eyes slightly, the paper remained flat as usual, with no phenomenon occurring.
"Unfortunately, my innate talent is too poor, I don't have any of the five elements. Although I can master them through acquired cultivation, wanting to cultivate a Kekkei Genkai is no different from a daydream."
Hiruko calmly threw the chakra paper into the trash can and said, "After that, I used a special method to measure that I only have one attribute, and that is... Yang."
"This is lucky, but also a misfortune."
"The lucky thing is that my goal is clear. As long as I absorb the Kekkei Genkai containing the seven attributes of Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Yin, I can achieve yin and yang balance. Under the combined effect of the Oniyara Technique, a relationship of five elements generating each other will be automatically constructed in my body, and I will become an immortal perfect ninja."
"And the misfortune is that under the interference of the original Yang attribute, the Kekkei Genkai I integrate into my body will also be interfered with, generating unpredictable strange changes."
Hiruko took out a plan from the experiment rack and handed it to the two of them with anticipation.
It was covered with dense text, it was simply chicken scratch, various sizes of words, lines, and there were even clumsy drawings between the pictures.
Orochimaru raised his hand slightly, politely refusing, "You know, I've never been able to understand what you write."
Hiruko had no choice but to put away his expectant gaze and looked at Uchiha Nian.
In order to respond to his expectations, Nian had no choice but to take the plan with a hard head, and only after opening his three-tomoe Sharingan could he barely understand the plan.
"Start with Explosion Release, then absorb Magnet Release, Scorch Release, Boil Release, and finally... Sharingan!"
Orochimaru tilted his head, "Can you explain it?"
"Naturally." Hiruko showed a satisfied smile. "Explosion Release, within it is a perfect fusion of Earth Release and Lightning Release, and the next Magnet Release is Lightning and Wind, Scorch Release is Wind and Fire, Boil Release is Fire and Water... Following this order step by step, the five elements in the body will automatically achieve a perfect cycle, and the final Sharingan Kekkei Genkai will represent the final step of Yin and Yang unity."
"Earth and Lightning, Lightning and Wind, Wind and Fire, Fire and Water, Yin and Yang..." Nian muttered to himself.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and frowned, "Are you sure your Oniyara Technique can absorb so many people?"
"Orochimaru, what do you think of the strength of that Fused Monster?" Hiruko asked in return.
"Frankly speaking, it's quite strong, apart from the summoning ninja beasts of the Three Great Sage Areas, it basically has no enemies."
"Well, the Oniyara fusion liquid injected into my body is hundreds of times that of it." Hiruko pointed to his heart, then raised a hand. "In order to practice this technique, these fusion liquids have been integrated into my body inch by inch."
The skin on the palm of his hand fluctuated slightly, and a pool of ink-colored liquid gurgled out, climbing up Hiruko's fingers, changing various shapes in mid-air.
For some reason, Orochimaru even felt that the thing was alive.
Hiruko took a deep breath, "If you can find the targets that meet the conditions now, I can even absorb them all at once, this is my Combination Ninjutsu, Oniyara!"
He raised his eyebrows at Orochimaru, "How about it, this is my path to immortality, how does it compare to your eternal soul?"
Orochimaru raised his eyes to meet his gaze, a strange fighting spirit flashing in his golden snake eyes, "The road is still long..."
