After getting a detailed explanation of everything, Danzo understood a lot of things, as such, he no longer tried to be so secretive in this regard and revealed the names of some of the Kekkei Genkai that he would like to absorb using the Chimera Jutsu.

Some of the Kekkei Genkai that he prefers (other than Mikas) are Dark Release and Swift Release.

Both Dark Release and Swift Release were also preferred by Hiruko, and both of them truly are very useful to Kekkei Genkai. Once someone has Dark Release, they will become immune to most of the Ninjutsu as they gain the ability to absorb Chakra from any Ninjutsu as long as its form isnt too complex for them And with Swift Release the person in question will also gain the ability to dodge physical attacks, thus the chances of getting physical damage will also decrease

Having just one of them may not prove to be so effective, but if someone has both of them at the same time, the users survival ability will definitely improve by several times Hiruko himself was the best example

After Dark Release and Swift Release, the next Kekkei Genkai that Danzo proposed was somewhat unexpected, which surprised both Homusubi and Orochimaru And the Kekkei Genkai is Crystal Release?!

Crystal Release is a very rare Kekkei Genkai in the Shinobi World, and truthfully speaking it is a very powerful Kekkei Genkai.

Crystal Release grants its user the ability to summon and freely manipulate crystal constructs in a number of ways, such as crushing walls or unique snowflake-patterned Shuriken. The user can even ride their Crystal Constructs and freely fly in the air.

However, the deadliest aspect of Crystal Release is that it can turn any matter that has a physical state into pink, jade-green, red, or blue-coloured crystals, from physical material to moisture in the air, allowing the user to turn almost anything into their weapon This is not just limited to pre-existing things; the user of Crystal Release is also capable of turning other Ninjutsu useless against him by turning ninjutsu itself into crystals And as if thats not enough already, when used on living creatures, targets can be crystallized down to the cellular level, imprisoning them so long as the crystals are in place and shattering them if the crystals are struck, killing them.

So, it is not wrong to say that not only Crystal Release has both offensive and defensive capabilities, but it also grants its user area of control ability and some extent of espionage abilities

Unexpectedly Danzo chose Crystal Release this is surprising thought Homusubi as she was really impressed by such a choice of Danzo

On the other side, Orochimaru had his eyes narrowed I did not expect that Danzo would choose Crystal Release

In regards to the true extent of the abilities that the Kekkei Genkai Crystal Release grants its user, Orochimaru has the most knowledge of the three, after all, one of his chief subordinates named Guren uses this Kekkei Genkai.

At this time Danzo said, Among the four no three Kekkei Genkai that I have selected so far other than Sharingan and Wood Release, Dark Release primarily represents Water Chakra Nature, Swift Release primarily represents Wind Chakra Nature, and finally Crystal Release primarily represents Earth Chakra Nature For the Fire Chakra Nature and the Lightning Chakra Nature I have yet to decide do the two of you have any suggestions?

Homusubi shrugged, Its for you to decide in the end anyway but if I have to say, then Storm Release is the best Kekkei Genkai for the Lightning Chakra Nature

Storm Release allows the user to manipulate beams of electricity that flow like water It is primarily used by the Shinobi of Kumogakure but at present, no one has been able to showcase the true potential of Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, nor any of the Kumogakure Shinobi including but not limited to Darui who was naturally born with this Kekkei Genkai, nor Hiruko who acquired it through Chimera Jutsu

The true potential of Storm Release was shown by Uchiha Madara with just a single Jutsu of his, Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang! in which he infused Storm Release Chakra with Senjutsu Chakra to fire a sharp, thin stream of light from his mouth Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang! used by Uchiha Madara was powerful enough to cut clean through a Truth-Seeking Ball!

Now we can make the argument that it was Uchiha Madara who made that Jutsu such unbelievably strong and unconventional, and its a valid argument but it still shows just high the potential of Storm Release is

Moreover, Danzo might also be to use Storm Release in conjunction with Crystal Release.

So, Homusubis point is valid and Danzo did take it into consideration.

At this time, Orochimaru also put forward his view, Since you have opted for Crystal Release and Swift Release then Boil Release will definitely compliment both of them quite well

Using Crystal Release Danzo will be able to create invisible confined spaces, and using the corrosive vapours of Boil Release he will be capable of instantly dissolving his enemies

And if Danzo masters Boil Release to a higher level then he will be able to use this Kekkei Genkai to heat his Chakra to the boiling point similar to the Jinchuriki of Gobi The steam that will emanate from his body will be capable of melting the surroundings and propelling him in different directions

If the extreme speed of Swift Release, and the extreme insight of Sharingan are used in conjunction with the propelling and melting abilities of Boil Release, Taijutsu battles against Danzo would result in instant death

Therefore, Boil Release is indeed a very good choice

Danzo deeply thought about the various aspects of the two Kekkei Genkai proposed by Homusubi and Orochimaru, and then nodded in satisfaction, Yes, Storm Release and Boil Release are indeed the best choices

Both Homusubi and Orochimaru nodded and noted down the names of all the seven Kekkei Genkai that are going to be absorbed by Danzo The seven Kekkei Genkai are Wood Release, Sharingan, Dark Release, Swift Release, Crystal Release, Storm Release, and finally, Boil Release

While writing, Orochimaru suddenly thought of something, and said doubtfully, With the combination of these Seven Kekkei Genkai, the concentration of Water Chakra Nature is a little too high and Fire Chakra Nature is quite less So, there might be problems during the ritual

Among the Seven Kekkei Genkai selected by Danzo, Wood Release, Storm Release, and Boil Release uses Water Chakra Nature, and, Dark Release itself is primarily a Water Chakra Nature-based Kekkei Genkai So, the ratio of Water Chakra Nature is a little too high

While the ratio of Fire Chakra Nature is quite less as it is only visible in Boil Release and Crystal Release

This difference in ratio can indeed disrupt the balance

Thinking so, Danzo questioned with a frowned expression, I am quite satisfied with these seven Kekkei Genkai, do we really have to change them? Is there no other way to balance this imbalanced ratio?

Homusubi pondered for a while, then suggested, If you are satisfied, then we will go with these seven Kekkei Genkai for the imbalanced ratio of the seven Chakra Nature, we will try to balance them using the external environmental factors that is, using the power of nature

I suggest using a volcano as a location to carry out the absorption Ritual this way, Fire Chakra will get a boost, and suppress the excessive Water Chakra Nature

Orochimaru nodded, and added, Yes, this should work And we can also choose a sacrifice whose Dark Release is weaker to further weaken the Water Chakra nature maybe use a young child who has just awakened the Dark Release and doesnt have very good mastery over it

Homusubi nodded, Yes these two approaches should solve the imbalance in the ratio of the Seven Chakra Natures

After reaching such a conclusion, all the details were finalized and the meeting was concluded

At the same time, Orochimarus base.

Naruto who had just completed Chakra Control training for the day took the advantage of the free time and asked a question from Kabuto who was working on something not too far away from him, Kabuto-nii-chan why did Orochimaru-sensei ignore me? What did I do wrong that made him angry?

Naruto may seem carefree and dumb on the surface, but because of always being ignored and alienated by the villagers, Naruto is very sensitive towards others attitudes towards him. When Orochimaru completely ignored him a few days ago, was able to Naruto accurately feel Orochimarus attitude, but Naruto is not able to figure out what did he do wrong that made Orochimaru feel as such

Kabuto didnt know how to answer Naruto, and he felt a little troubled by such a question After thinking a little, he decided to speak half-truth half-lie, Orochimaru-sama is not angry with you Naruto-kun he is just stricter and has higher requirements you are not yet at that level so

Naruto lowered his head, and questioned lightly, Did I did I disappoint him?

Kabuto had no answer he chose to remain silent and sighed silently He knows Orochimaru very well, and it is exactly as Naruto said, Orochimaru was indeed disappointed Because Naruto is the son of Yondaime and the previous Jinchuriki of Kyuubi, the expectations placed on him were too high this is naturally unavoidable after all, Konohas Yellow Flash and Red Hot-Blooded Habanero were geniuses in their own right, yet Naruto is not a genius Let alone genius, he seems rather dumb on the surface so, he didnt meet Orochimarus expectations, and Orochimaru didnt find much worth in training Naruto

In fact, the responsibility of training basics Naruto that has been given to Kabuto is just one-last test If Naruto can master the basics under the careful teaching of Kabuto and show his talent, then Orochimaru might reconsider otherwise, it can be considered that Orochimaru has pretty much given up on Naruto.

This is Orochimaru, a shinobi who has taken coldness in his instincts He wont do a thing that is not beneficial to him

Over the years since Orochimaru left Konoha, he has gathered and trained countless orphans among them, there were very few whom Orochimaru found to be interesting Strictly speaking, Kimimaro is the only one Haku, Guren, Tenzo, Jugo, and the others, regardless of the talent they showed, were only meant to be tools and were not given any more value than that

As the two sat silently suddenly the sound of the hissing of snakes was heard in the cave

Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss

Kabuto frowned, and after reaching out to one of them, he received the message

As soon as he did, Kabutos brows wrinkled in a deep frown, and while pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose Kabuto muttered, We have intruders here?

He weaved the hand signs and after sensing a little, he was able to perceive six powerful Chakra Reactions rapidly approaching this cave!

Damn! That is the Mist unit of the Akatsuki Organization I didnt expect that they will be able to find us even here! after realizing the identity of the intruders Kabuto thought about what to do

Obviously, the idea of fighting them was rejected without even thinking, because Kabuto knows that he wont be able to do anything facing six of them at the same time

Then he thought about the possibility of escaping, If it was just me, I could have managed somehow but with Naruto-kun, and Hinata-sama we will be caught if we use the escape roots

Understanding that all the other options are no longer usable, Kabuto took out a scroll, and while looking at it, he had only one thought in his mind, Now, there is only one thing I can do!
