Chapter 154: Mangekyo Sharingan! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes)
Kekkei Tōta is far more difficult than Kekkei Genkai.
Combining Wood Release and Yang Release greatly enhances the power of Wood Release, something Sarutobi Asuma could easily achieve.
However, the feeling of fusion arrived, but he couldn't complete it for half a month.
Instead, the experimental base achieved results first.
The first clone was successful!
At the experimental base.
Sarutobi Asuma, Tsunade, and Shizune were all present, looking at the clone that was filled with tubes, connected to medical equipment, and had a Black Rod inserted into its heart.
This clone had white skin, white long hair, and its face bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Sarutobi Asuma.
This was because its body was made from Sarutobi Asuma's cells, supplemented with Hashirama Cells that had been refined through White Zetsu's process.
As it lacked its own spirit and consciousness, it required medical equipment to maintain its operation.
Furthermore, both Hashirama Cells and Sarutobi Asuma's cells were extremely dominant, thus requiring the Black Rod, created with Yin-Yang Release, to suppress them and prevent the clone from collapsing.
This clone had cost a total of 300 million Ryo.
As a result, Sarutobi Asuma's pockets were empty.
Without needing to be summoned, a Shadow Clone appeared beside the main body.
Sarutobi Asuma was currently in his prime, and this Shadow Clone possessed half of Sarutobi Asuma's Chakra.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the Shadow Clone brought its hands together, emitting a white light.
Immediately after, a spiritual body flew out from within the Shadow Clone.
Tsunade watched this scene, her mind involuntarily drifting, recalling her past lover.
With the spiritual body departed, the Shadow Clone immediately exploded with a 'poof' and vanished.
Tsunade snapped back to reality, watching this scene, and thought with shock, "His Spirit Transformation Technique is far superior to Dan's. Dan couldn't use a Shadow Clone to perform this technique back then."
At this moment, the spiritual body of the Shadow Clone transformed into a stream of light and burrowed into the forehead of the clone on the experimental table.
Sarutobi Asuma and the others watched nervously.
After all, they couldn't be sure if this method would work.
10 minutes later.
Just as Tsunade and the others thought it was going to fail.
The clone on the experimental table opened its eyes.
"It succeeded!"
Shizune exclaimed.
Sarutobi Asuma smiled.
All that money wasn't wasted!
The tubes were unplugged one by one, the clone stood up, and then pulled out the Black Rod from its heart.
With its own consciousness and the control of immense Sage Power, its body would no longer collapse.
It moved around, feeling its body, and the clone laughed, "I'm quite a bit weaker than the original."
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled upon hearing this, "Naturally, it's only a portion of cultivated cells, and it's been significantly weakened."
After a moment of adaptation, the clone retrieved a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan. It first gouged out its own eyeballs and placed them in the container Shizune was holding for preservation, then implanted the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
The wounds healed in the blink of an eye.
The clone opened its eyes. Its vision was a little blurry at first, but it quickly became very clear.
It blinked, but couldn't deactivate the Sharingan.
"It seems without the Uchiha bloodline, it's indeed difficult to control the Sharingan freely in a short period."
"So, next, I'll try to see if I can advance from Three Tomoe to Mangekyo!"
"And, can Yang Release allow the Mangekyo to directly reach the realm of Eternal Mangekyo!"
The clone stated.
There was no need to waste time practicing controlling the Sharingan.
Yūhi Kurenai recorded from the side.
Sarutobi Asuma, meanwhile, enveloped the clone with his senses, and his Electromagnetic Eye also activated, focusing on every minute change in the clone.
The clone lowered its gaze. Inside its body, one stream of Yin Style Chakra and one stream of Yang Style Chakra formed.
These two streams of Chakra were both rated Level 8 by the system's assessment, which was the peak level of a Kage.
The Yang Style Chakra permeated the two Sharingan, while the Yin Style Chakra traveled directly to the visual nerves in the brain.
The next moment.
The clone opened its eyes.
Sarutobi Asuma and the others immediately saw the clone's eyes, three tomoe spinning at high speed, blood light blooming.
As two lines of bloody tears streamed down, the rapidly spinning tomoe slowly came to a halt.
It was a four-bladed pinwheel, resembling a Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.
Sarutobi Asuma looked at the clone's Mangekyo Sharingan, finding the pattern somewhat familiar.
"Wait, it seems similar to Shisui's original, except Shisui's pinwheel had curved blades, while the clone's are straight."
Sarutobi Asuma realized.
Tsunade watched, her expression grave, "It actually evolved!"
"Asuma, by teaching this method to the Uchiha clan, aren't you afraid their strength will swell and foster immense ambition?"
"Your clan has always wanted the Hokage position."
Sarutobi Asuma smiled slightly at her words, "The Mangekyo isn't that easy to obtain!"
"In the past, the Uchiha clan wasn't unaware of the paths to obtaining the Mangekyo, yet from the warring states period until now, there have been very few."
"As for the current method, the required Yin Style strength is currently beyond anyone in Konoha except myself."
Shisui possesses three tomoe, Yin Style level 7.
Mangekyo requires at least level 8!
Shisui is still a bit short, and Yūhi Kurenai is even further behind.
"Many paths are known to everyone, like Kekkei Genkai. Besides bloodline inheritance, fusing two Chakra Nature Transformations can also achieve it, yet out of the tens of thousands of ninja in the shinobi world, very few can cultivate a Kekkei Genkai."
"I passed on the cultivation method for Kekkei Genkai, but in Konoha now, besides my father, and my brother Sarutobi Shinya, no one has achieved it."
Sarutobi Asuma paused, then added, "Furthermore, if the Uchiha had that kind of capability, becoming Hokage wouldn't really be an issue."
Tsunade snorted, "I just fear another Uchiha Madara will appear!"
The Uchiha's extremism is notorious!
"Are you done talking?"
At this moment, the clone asked with a smile.
Sarutobi Asuma immediately inquired, "How does it feel?"
"Very good!"
The clone smiled, "The previous speculation was correct; the power of Yang Release can indeed push the Mangekyo to become the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Or rather, perhaps Uchiha clan members cannot wield the Mangekyo due to insufficient physical strength, leading to continuous vision decline or even bodily collapse and Bloodline Disease when overused."
Tsunade immediately thought of someone else, "Like Gekko Hayate?"
"You could say that."
The clone nodded, "When the three tomoe evolved just now, these eyes also absorbed the power of Yang Release, so they should undoubtedly be the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
"However..."
Shizune quickly asked, "However, what?"
The clone sighed, "It's very regrettable, these Sharingan do not have the potential to become Rinnegan!"
"Although the dōjutsu power can still increase, I can already feel that even with stronger Yin Style and Yang Release chakra, it won't be enough to transform these eyes into Rinnegan."
Speaking of this, the clone thought for a moment and added, "At least with the current method of inducing properties, it's impossible for these eyes to transform into Rinnegan."
