Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 316: The Impure World Reincarnation

Ascension Island, deep inside the laboratory.

Sora stood alone before a massive cultivation chamber. Inside the chamber, a clone cultivated from his own cells and the Third Kazekage’s cells gently undulated within the nutrient solution.

Nonō and Kabuto had already taken Yūhi Kurenai to arrange her lodgings. Yumi and Ayumi, having cried themselves to exhaustion, had also been persuaded to rest.

Tagitsuhime stood silently not far from Sora, like a true attendant. If she were not vigorously "sniffing" the air around Sora.

Sora paid no attention to Tagitsuhime, pondering silently in his heart:

’The Rinne Rebirth Technique... Nagato could use it because he possessed the Rinnegan bestowed by Madara. And Madara’s Rinnegan was awakened by the fusion of Indra and Asura’s chakra, which stirred the power of the Six Paths.’

’Following this principle, as long as I can fuse a pair of high-purity Mangekyō Sharingan, combined with my own Uzumaki constitution and Senju Hashirama’s cells, theoretically, I should also be able to awaken my own Rinnegan!’

Sora’s mind raced, cross-referencing knowledge from the original work, planning his future path.

The difficulty lay in finding suitable Mangekyō...

Within the Uchiha clan, there were many emotionally extreme individuals prone to awakening their eyes under stimulation.

He thought of Uchiha Fugaku, that deeply reserved clan head.

He thought of Uchiha Shisui, that genius with ’Kotoamatsukami’, but he was still young.

He also thought of more Uchiha clansmen whose names were never mentioned in the original work.

’I cannot touch Takumi or Ryota. This is the bottom line. Therefore, the target needs careful screening...’

’It’s best if they have old grievances with me, or are themselves morally corrupt. Seizing their eyes would carry less psychological burden.’

’The night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre is an opportunity... but that’s nearly a year away. Moreover, whether Itachi and Obito will act according to the original plan is still unknown.’

’I cannot place all my hopes on uncertain future events.’

’I must take the initiative.’

Sora’s gaze gradually sharpened.

One line of thought after another collided in his mind, weaving together into a vast and complex web of plans.

Guiding the Mangekyō, obtaining the Rinnegan, reviving Uesugi Min, fusing the Kekkei clones, ultimately achieving Kekkei Mora...

This path was destined to be strewn with thorns and darkness.

But Sora clenched his fist, feeling the immense vitality brought by the Azure Dragon Fruit within his body, and the nearly infinite energy of the Dragon Vein.

’I have time, I have power, I have determination.’

’Min, wait for me.’

...

Ascension Island Underground Laboratory.

Sora found Kabuto, who was organizing experimental data.

"Kabuto, this is for you."

Sora handed the ’Impure World Reincarnation’ scroll he had scavenged from Orochimaru to Kabuto.

Kabuto was momentarily stunned. He took the scroll that emanated a chilling aura and instinctively opened it for a glance.

Just the description at the beginning caused his pupils to contract sharply.

Summoning the souls of the dead, attaching them to living sacrifices, bringing them back to the world...

What a technique, so blasphemous against life and death, so disruptive of the natural order!

"Brother Sora, this is..."

"Forbidden Technique, Impure World Reincarnation."

Sora’s tone was calm. "I need you to learn and master it."

He looked into Kabuto’s shocked eyes and explained.

"The cultivation of the Wind Release clone body has been completed by you and sister. The subsequent cultivation of the other elemental clones can proceed step by step. It won’t take up too much of your energy. Moreover, Yumi and Ayumi can also help."

"I’m having you learn this because reviving Min requires her soul."

Sora’s gaze turned towards the container preserving Uesugi Min’s remains in the distance.

In the original work, the Pure Land was established by the Sage of Six Paths. Most souls go there after death.

The Rinne Rebirth Technique also summons souls back from the Pure Land to their bodies.

But... what if? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

What if Uesugi Min’s soul, for some reason, did not go to the Pure Land, or something went wrong on the way?

He dared not gamble on this uncertainty.

Therefore, Sora decided to use the Impure World Reincarnation in advance to ’anchor’ Uesugi Min’s soul in the present world. Then, using the power of the Rinnegan, transform the Impure World body into a complete revival, just like Uchiha Madara in the later stages.

Sora took out more than a dozen sealing scrolls and piled them in front of Kabuto.

"Keep these safe as well. They contain some enemies I dealt with in the past. Mostly jonin level."

"In the future, they can be used for preliminary tests before reincarnating Min."

"I will capture some rogue ninja later."

Kabuto looked at the large pile of scrolls on the ground and silently swallowed.

Although he knew Brother Sora was incredibly powerful and had experienced many battles, seeing these scrolls representing at least a dozen jonin lives with his own eyes still shook him to the core.

’Brother Sora... just how many people has he killed...’

He carefully stored these scrolls along with the Impure World Reincarnation scroll and nodded firmly.

"I understand, Brother Sora! I will definitely master this technique as soon as possible!"

At that moment, Nonō, suppressing her grief over Min’s departure, walked over, her expression somewhat grave.

"Sora, come here for a moment."

Sora signaled for Kabuto to continue his work and followed Nonō to a more heavily guarded adjacent laboratory.

At the core of this laboratory were several specially designed cultivation devices. Inside them, immersed, were some tissue masses emitting strange life force fluctuations.

These were precisely what Sora had brought back from Orochimaru’s Land of Rice Paddy base. Senju Hashirama’s Wood Release cells!

"Following your instructions, we used these original cells for cultivation and proliferation."

Nonō pointed at the devices.

"However, the invasiveness and activity of these cells are too strong. The current quantity is already the limit we can stably control without triggering a cell rampage."

"If we increase it further, the risk will rise sharply. They might very likely break through the containers and seals."

Sora looked at the cells in the cultivation fluid that seemed to writhe slightly with a life of their own, his eyes flickering.

’Hashirama cells... the carrier of Asura’s chakra, containing immense vitality and Yang Release power.’

He felt his own Uzumaki clan bloodline and the vast vitality brought by the Azure Dragon Fruit within his body.

The Uzumaki and Senju were distant relatives. Their bloodlines shared some commonality.

Coupled with his current physical strength and recovery power, the rejection reaction from fusing these cells should be much smaller than for an ordinary person.

In fact, given the current strength of his cells, compared to these Hashirama cells that have been separated from a body for so long, it’s uncertain who would consume whom.

However, now was not the time for fusion.

Obtaining the Rinnegan required the fusion of Indra and Asura’s powers.

He hadn’t even identified a suitable Mangekyō target yet. Recklessly fusing Hashirama cells wouldn’t be of much significance.

Sora said to Nonō.

"Maintain the status quo for now. Just keep these cells active."

"There’s no need for further cultivation at the moment."

Nonō nodded.
