Chapter 54

"Let's have a small and polite discussion before I kill you all shall we?" I declared as I deliberately let a burst of killing intent gush from me

Not even preventing them from talking, none of them had the guts to say anything and I even smelled something and said "Oh my~ You couldn't keep it to yourself? I don't need such a fertilizer for my plants, you know."

I then moved towards the guy who had the tablet and a vine took it before giving it to me.

"Such an advanced technology indeed." I said as I saw their shinobi getting obliterated either by swarms of insects or flamethrower-like Ninjutsu in what looked to be in 4k

"I hope that you didn't put all your budget into such high-quality cameras, still, it may be useful." I mumbled as I looked over the room and saw a glass door that seemed to open with fingerprints but more importantly, some huge screens that directly transmitted what happened on the fortress

'They also have drones?' I thought as I saw Dai kicking everyone in front of him to infinite and beyond like usual if it wasn't for his completely red appearance due to the lava armor that melted the buildings

It wasn't a standing camera since it was capable of following him in his actions in a way that would make filmmakers proud.

I could see Chizu in her Origins attire and her Ketsuryūgan shining through her mask mercilessly killing everyone she saw around her.

When younger, she was always fighting along with Shuzo but since they grew up and started fighting separately, they both discovered a new fighting style, and hers was... Bloody, to say the least.

She always fought with her finger claw and her stiletto and with quick movements, she pierced and sliced her victims' skin while controlling their blood and making it dance around her, becoming more dangerous the more blood she spilled.

And I knew that she had a mad smile fitting for the Oni mask she was wearing since, unlike her usual cold and devoted behavior, she was pretty crazy in a fight.

She craves blood when she starts using her Dōjutsu and she doesn't even need hand signs for any blood-related technique.

Now I could also see my little Hyūga protegee Hizashi, who was a full-fledged Jōnin and also an adult since he was now sixteen.

His Taijutsu skills are by far unmatched within his Clan, and even if he cannot take care of a bunch of enemies at once like Dai, he was deadly to anyone who is not capable of only fighting in Taijutsu.

He was now able to use the 'Two Hundred Fifty-Six Palms' without suffering any backlash but had yet to perform the next step which was to hit the 361 Tenketsu in a single action.

Furthermore, after experimenting on a few Byakugan with Orochimaru by using the 'Eye Medicine Plant', we discovered the effect it had on them.

We already knew the effect on the Ketsuryūgan, which allowed the user to control the blood of anyone who had the misfortune to bleed in a certain radius that also became wider with the user's skill and without the need of hand signs.

It could also sense the blood of different people to identify them, even after a transformation, in a wider radius, making most hiding or transformation techniques useless as long as you have blood running through your veins.

These were the effects on Chizu's Dōjutsu since the day it saved her from her affliction, without forgetting that it also made it not exhausting for her.

Hizashi recently accepted the experiment and his Byakugan became stronger.

First of all, he no longer had the small blind spot at the back of his neck, which gave him a perfect 360° vision.

He was no longer getting tired when using them, at least I do not know for how long he can keep them activated.

His ability to discern clones and the kind was also keener and he was capable of using the 'Gentle Fist' style to carefully split most Ninjutsu coming his way.

He also told me that he was sometimes seeing something else within people, which had yet to be under his control since it happened from time to time but it made his Byakugan golden for a few seconds when it happened.

I had yet to use the 'Eye Medicine Plant' on myself since my Dōjutsu is unique, combining the Byakugan branch with the Sharingan and soon Rinnegan branch.

It needs to be diluted perfectly or the consequences would simply be death by making my eyes burst.

The fact that my eyes evolved was also something hindering me since it changed the ratio I needed as well.

And who knows, maybe I will have an even stronger effect if I do it with my eyes at their peak.

Nonetheless, back to the screens, I also saw Shikuro who poisoned his victims with ease, Konoyomi whose fighting style was almost like Hiruzen since he also used a staff and many Fire Ninjutsu from his Clan.

The Hyūga did their best too and the Akimichi were all giants that broke buildings just by flicking their fingers.

And finally, my pet, Shiromari, had the feast of his life judging by the number of shinobi he ate on his path.

'They have cameras following all of us and no one detected them?' I thought before looking around the room to see one of those ball-looking camera flying around

'It seems that they cannot be sensed by most techniques uh' I thought as I never felt myself being observed by it while coming here

I couldn't sense it unless I focused on life force instead of chakra, which I did not activate all the time because seeing the life force of EVERYTHING alive or not around me is not good for my sanity.

"Argh!"

"I'm sure that this isn't your only interesting technology... Oh! I will know everything with time since I will take the fortress for myself." I said out loud as my victims were still screaming in pain from the sharp vines that kept impaling them slowly around their body

I smirked and made them all look at me by force before saying "I did say that we would discuss right? Well, too bad because I don't need you to be alive to know what I need to know."

'After all, I'm getting your memories after using Suijin' I thought as the vines around their neck became tighter until it broke their neck to let me absorb them

Since I had my Eternal Mangekyô, most things I absorbed, didn't need as long as before to be digested, except for bloodlines related stuff.

Memories could be digested almost near-instantaneously if I focused on them.

After a couple of seconds of meditating while standing, I was now alone in the control room without any corpses around me.

"I'm surprised by how weak they were... Though, I didn't give them the time to do anything." I said as I neared the glass door I saw earlier and transformed into one of the guys who had the right to pass

"Acces granted." a robotic voice said as the door opened

'I will test the durability of such a door later to see if it can be useful' I thought as I didn't break it to enter but could have done so

Behind the door was a true maze made of corridors, which thankfully wasn't an issue with the memories I just absorbed.

Going further and further down, I could feel the fortress 'heartbeats' as sealing formulas were more and more present on the walls.

'Honestly, using a mindless tailed beast to power up a flying fortress is a great idea' I thought as I entered the room where the core was situated with ease

In front of me was a tan-colored cocoon not far from a rather large illuminated tablet where I could feel a different kind of chakra surge from.

'And here is my infinite chakra battery' I thought with a smile before sensing many hands forming around the cocoon while a form was starting to show itself inside of it

I widely opened my arms and with a mad smile, I declared "You realize that I am the perfect host for you don't you? Come, come and possess me who lost everyone he held dear because of powerlessness, come and give me strength! Give me the strength to complete my revenge!" as my voice cracked and tears unconsciously left my eyes

I filled myself with negatives emotions, making me believe that I just lost all my friends one by one until eventually seeing Tsunade killed in front of me while I couldn't do anything but watch and hear her last words saying that I couldn't keep my promise to protect her, to protect our child.

Emotions are not something you should play with, I learned that... And making myself fall into despair is by far something that should be done, that's why I keep a failsafe, a second personality that stays sane buried deep within my mind, who will always have the priority over the other to bring me back.

Since I completed the amount of chakra required for the Nine-Tails, I could also feel negative emotions and I knew that the amount I was generating was already higher than what Kurama had before I 'purified' him, since it was also amplified.

The hands started to grab me at my elbows, knees, and torso before sending at me a wave of dark chakra that slowly made the cocoon vanish as it was invading me at the same time as it feasts on my negative emotions.

What it didn't expect was the already prepared seal that I set up in my body which started to absorb him at an alarming rate without leaving it any chance to leave or even take over my body.

My face rapidly turned back to how it was before as I said "Gotcha." with a smile before seeing the seal patterns on the walls lose their lights

'Let's leave a clone here to power up the fortress or else it's going to be wasted' I thought as a mindless wood clone was leaving my body and quickly started to form a wooden cocoon that spread on the walls to keep the Ancor Vantian powered up

"Aaah~ It's so easy to deceive something that has no conscience... Now I have a portable infinite chakra battery." I said out loud as the Ancor Vantian would still work as long as I am alive

'Time to warn everyone on the fortress to stop breaking everything and just take care of the shinobi' I thought since it was no longer a possession of the Land of the Sky

Not that money and workforce are an issue.

Nonetheless, I was eager to see what I could do with dark chakra, I know that I no longer needed to use hand signs no matter the technique as long as it is using chakra.

I could already do most techniques without hand signs or by greatly reducing the number needed, but now it should be even better.

'The first thing I tested when I was able to use chakra back then was to see if you could perform a technique without loudly saying its name' I thought while chuckling since yelling your next attack was pretty dumb

I should also be able to negate certain techniques' drawbacks and more importantly... I could create 'Shadow Arms'.

I would be considered the most dangerous antagonist in a hentai story.

*cough*

Time to wrap up their assault.

====================

"Shiromari?" I said to the giant flying chameleon who had my whole squad on his back

"Yes?" he simply replied

"Can you eat that or is it too much?" I said as I pointed to the now emptied flying fortress that had many destroyed buildings

He looked at it and replied "I may have space in my stomach but there's no way my mouth will be large enough to swallow it."

"Then I will make your mouth wider, come and I promise I will cover the scars with some painting." I said as I had a dangerous smile on my face which made my whole squad shiver since they thought that I was serious

"Come on that was just a joke..." I said as I huffed a little which made everyone sigh in relief

'Though at least, he ate every corpse there was' I thought happily since I would be absorbing them later and hoped that a young Shinnō was within them

"I want you to join the ambush teams and help them however you can, I will take care of the fortress before the civilians freak out from its sudden appearance." I ordered as they all replied with a "Yes!" before Shiromari flew back towards Konoha

'Time to hide the fortress' I thought before taking out a few tags that would generate a cheap barrier

It will hide the fortress from everyone's view, at least to those who do not have a Dōjutsu since I cannot make it imperceptible to everyone for now.

Thinking back about the fortress, I think that I will secretly make it a second base for Origins and a flying transport for Konoha's shinobi in case we need it.

But the main idea I had was to make it a giant touristic city that flies across the world, with casinos, restaurants, hotels, shops of all kinds... A place that would be akin to the cruise ships back in my world but even better.

A place that will bring more money into my pocket so Tsunade will never run out of it when she gambles.

And also a place where I already see myself go on vacation with my family.

Who knows, maybe I can find a way to make it able to go through space or multiverse...

'That's not a bad idea' I thought as I rubbed my chin and nodded to myself before hearing a distant explosion near the village

Looking towards it, I saw what I guessed was the last flying machine from the Land of the Sky crash down which meant that Konoha's victory was now certain.

'Let's go there' I thought before teleporting right above Konoha's shinobi

Looking around I asked "It seems that the ambushes were a great success... What about our casualties?" before landing on Tsunade's left

"A few shinobi got injured but no one died." Tsunade said with satisfaction

I smiled and replied "As expected of Tsunade-sama!" with a silly voice

She rolled her eyes at my antic but before she could answer back, Sakumo appeared to my side to declare "The operation is a complete success Hokage-sama."

I changed into a more serious expression and ordered "I want you to scavenge their armaments, gather their corpses, and bring me everyone who can use Earth Release to help me restore the surroundings. Be quick."

As always, he replied with a "Yes!" before vanishing to do what I asked

The assault was quite quick but I didn't want the civilians to think that something was wrong if the tree stays for too long.

'Let's plant some trees back into the ground' I thought as I saw a few of them in the scenery around me destroyed

=====================

*Next morning, in the council room*

"As expected, the civilians enjoyed the show that the barrier provided and not a single rumor about us getting assaulted by the Land of the Sky was heard." the Nara Clan's head explained which made everyone in the room glad

"Your barrier's strength was amazing indeed Hokage-sama, but asking this old man to deceive them with such a large Genjutsu was taxing." the Kurama Clan's head declared before adding "I think I will soon retire from my position... I'm getting exhausted too easily."

"That's a pity to hear indeed, I hope that your successor will be as worthy as you." I replied with a smile which made him proudly huff

'It's so easy to keep him on my side' I thought as some sugary words were enough

"Pardon me Hokage-sama but what will you do with the fortress?" the Yamanaka Clan's head asked as I shifted my gaze to him

"About that one..." I started to explain my plan for the fortress

*A few hours later*

"Aaah~ I can finally get them." I said out loud as I was stretching myself and going towards my sealed room

I didn't want to wait a few more days before improving my eyes, even if I barely got access to the Zero-Tails power, I will discover it later anyway.

I didn't forget to warn Tsunade about my whereabouts and I also told her that in case she doesn't see me after a day, it would mean that I fell unconscious somehow but nothing life-threatening.

Entering the room, I sat down cross-legged on some tatami and began to nurture Indra's chakra.

I didn't need a lot of it, but at least enough to combine it with Asura's chakra and reproduce Hagoromo's chakra.

'I feel like I am in a cultivation novel when I do this' I thought with a smirk since I sat like a cultivator and pretty much did the same thing

Regardless, after a while, when I knew that I had enough of Indra's chakra in my left hand, I generated Asura's chakra in the other and exclaimed "Here goes nothing." before bringing both of my hands together which started to mold the two chakra into one

And after a couple of minutes of trying to properly balance the combination, I successfully recreated Hagoromo's chakra and before I could even think of accepting it into my body, it instantly got absorbed by my eyes.

The sudden painful feeling was not enjoyable and I couldn't help but keep my eyes closed as I was holding my head in suffering.

'Fucking hell why does it always hurt so much for me' I thought as the pain was getting stronger and stronger

After a few seconds, which seems to be an eternity for me, the pain completely subsided, and when I opened my eyes I looked at the mirror that I prepared not far from me and saw my new Dōjutsu.

On what was my still locked Tenseigan was the Rinnegan's famous black circles, the white of my eyes disappeared and was replaced by the blue of the Tenseigan, and at the center of the flower was what looked to be a smaller dark-blue Rinnegan instead of the usual blue-green color.

[Here]

'Mmh, not bad at all' I thought as I admired them before feeling that something was wrong with my head

I felt my consciousness fading which was a feeling I knew well since my last awakening.

"For fuck sake, not ag-" I tried to say but fell on the ground without anything to prevent this condition

The first thing I felt after that was a coldness I couldn't forget.
