The defensive power of Susano'o is nearly unmatched in the ninja world, a rare feat indeed.

And the ability to completely shatter Susano'o, at this stage in the ninja world, only Hashirama, upon his resurrection, could achieve that.

Yet today, Kyomu became the second person after Hashirama to accomplish this. Although it was just one punch that crushed the third stage of Susano'o, such a feat was worthy of great praise.

But Fugaku could not accept it.

"How can this be, how is this possible?"

Lying on the ground, Fugaku stared at the blue sky above, his eyes dimming.

"The greatest strength of the Uchiha, although not in its complete form, shouldn't be this fragile, it shouldn't be!...

How could it shatter with one punch... How can Kyomu do this, how!"

A loud, desperate voice rose, and upon hearing this, Kyomu looked at his own fist, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Got carried away, I might have used too much strength, Fugaku-senpai wouldn't... fall into despair, right?"

However, Fugaku soon returned, limping back, while the surrounding Uchiha ninja's gaze shifted restlessly between Fugaku and Kyomu.

Kyomu's punch had not only given Fugaku a shock but also served as a harsh lesson to the Uchiha clan.

The Sharingan is not invincible, even the Mangekyo Sharingan is the same. Not only that, Susano'o is not so divine; it can be shattered, it's not an absolute defense.

The gaze of the Uchiha ninja changed, looking at Kyomu with respect and now also with a hint of fear.

The last person to impress the Uchiha like this was Hashirama, who had died decades ago.

"Kyomu-kun, how did you do it?" After a brief existential crisis, Fugaku was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"The ultimate body, combined with ninja body techniques, trades for powerful explosive power, speed, and strength." Kyomu patted Uchiha Fugaku's shoulder, "There are many types of strength in the world, but there is a phrase that can summarize the essence of power."

"What is it?" Fugaku asked eagerly, bowing deeply to Kyomu, "Please enlighten me, Kyomu-kun, I beg you!"

The surrounding Uchiha ninja did the same, bowing in unison to Kyomu.

It was clear that Kyomu's strength had won over the Uchiha, and their pride had led them to abandon their inherent stubbornness.

This wasn't strange; the Uchiha are human too, and they also admire strength.

Previously, they were among the very top in strength, with few worthy of their admiration. In recent times, apart from Hashirama Senju, Aragami Kyomu was probably the second person.

Kyomu stretched a bit, enjoying the reverence from the Uchiha, before finally speaking slowly.

"All powers in this world, nothing can break speed, nothing can withstand simplicity, and from simplicity comes truth power."

Not a world-shattering revelation, this was, to Kyomu, just a simple theory; after all, he was standing on the shoulders of giants.

But in the world of Naruto, everything is different. Some concepts they understood, but such a precise and incisive summary of theory, they had never heard before.

Fugaku froze, his Mangekyo Sharingan pupils contracted for a moment before he took a deep breath, "I have learned much, Kyomu-kun."

Such words placed him beneath Kyomu, a position well deserved by Kyomu.

The concept seems simple, but it is a guide, not easily shared with others. After all, this is your basis for strength, and sharing it would mean losing some competitive edge.

People are selfish, but Kyomu's approach seemed selfless, which was another significant factor in why Fugaku was lowering his stance.

Kyomu was not just a good partner but also an excellent leader.

"It's just a theory, no need for such fuss." Kyomu chuckled, "Fugaku-senpai, please don't overturn your ninja way so easily because of this."

Looking around, "Of course, the same goes for all of you. While ultimate strength is powerful, it is crucial to understand oneself and not blindly pursue it."

"Yes, Kyomu-sama."

The crowd bowed again in thanks, but Kyomu's words left a profound impact in their hearts.

Especially some Uchiha clan members, who were now contemplative, planning to move in this direction.

Everyone understood, but they also knew that without Aragami Kyomu's talent, achieving such a level would be difficult.

Although they couldn't replicate it entirely, they could adapt some of their techniques appropriately.

"Fugaku-senpai, I still need to train, I'll need your help going forward."

Fugaku looked somewhat uneasy, nodding in agreement, watching as Kyomu and the Yugito entered the tent.

"Such strength already, and he still needs to train?" Fugaku shook his head, sighing deeply, "Ah, I can't catch up to Kyomu-kun, even though I'm much older.

If there's a chance in the future, I can only follow in Madara's footsteps and strive to achieve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

Lowering his head, Fugaku had made his plans, but the choices were difficult.

The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan comes with blood and tears!

Inside the tent.

Kyomu was unaware of Fugaku's thoughts, he knew his own circumstances. To continue refining his newly edited body, he needed to delve into deeper aspects.

"Some things I dare not touch..."

The human body is a precise instrument; Kyomu only has user rights, the rights to modify are in the genes, and any changes are a domino effect, with the slightest carelessness leading to ruin.

Kyomu was never a gambler; he did not believe in elusive luck, so he needed extensive data to support and corroborate.

His gaze fell on the Yugito, and Kyomu right-clicked, selecting "View Management."

Quickly, Kyomu found a file "Deep Body Management."

Clicking copy, Kyomu right-clicked in the air, chose to create a new folder, and pasted it there.

Having done this, Kyomu crawled out of the tent, wandering slowly around the camp, repeating the previous actions to everyone he met.

"Kyomu-kun, you're not..."

"Oh, just continue, Fugaku-senpai, I'll just walking around to clear my mind."

After briefly explaining, Kyomu continued his stroll. However, a day was a bit tight, and it took him three days to gather all the deep body information from everyone in the camp.

Then he shut himself in again.

"Let's try this option." Kyomu right-clicked to select all, then chose one of the ten thousand functions.

"Comparative Analysis."

After clicking confirm, Kyomu watched as a ghostly circle appeared on the cursor, waiting for it to complete, and nearly a thousand pieces of deep body data analysis were done.

Continuing to operate.

"7D Modeling."

Soon, two virtual human models were constructed, covering aspects as close to a real human body.

"Import Data."

Kyomu imported his original and current data into the separate models.

"Simulation Calculation."

Selecting another function, Kyomu quietly waited for the result, everything in front of him like a computer following his step-by-step instructions steadily forward.

Before long, Kyomu found several differences from the calculation results, right-clicked to select them, then chose another function.

"Data Analysis."

Quickly, a series of data appeared before Kyomu, and after comparing them one by one, he finally identified the problem.

"The previous editing approach to my body wasn't the issue, the problem is that the deeper body architecture wasn't well integrated with it."

Knowing the problem and having some data support, Kyomu's progress accelerated significantly.

However, with data support, some deeper changes still required his independent thought, and he tested them step by step in the model.

"First, I need to clarify what I want exactly." Kyomu murmured to himself.

Without a doubt, what Kyomu needed most now was to first address the issue of his body abnormally consuming a lot of energy, and then, from a genetic level, edit his body to the state most suitable for him.

The already dwindling chakra was something Kyomu had to address, and the key to solving this issue was to start from the genetic level, deriving from that lineage.

Such as the Senju clan's lineage, or the Uzumaki clan's lineage.

But then again, strong as these clans were, they weren't the strongest. Moreover, Aragami Kyomu now lacked the genetic data of these two clans, and how exactly to change it was a big problem.

Glancing over, Aragami Kyomu turned his attention to the Two-Tails housed within the Yugito.

The Tailed Beasts are aggregates of chakra, also possessing souls and consciousness, clearly belonging to a very special type of chakra life form.

For the Tailed Beasts, their inherent chakra is their foundation, and their instinct to autonomously absorb and aggregate the sparse and free-floating chakra around them is their nature.

"What would happen if this instinct were incorporated into the newly edited genes?"

Kyomu pondered and immediately proceeded to experiment.

However, during the experiment, Kyomu made another discovery.

He summoned more than a dozen Leaf Village Genin, and Kyomu started checking, "What are your parents' names?"

After questioning, Kyomu couldn't help but smile, they were descendants of the Senju!

Though they had changed their surnames, tracing back to their grandparents' generation, one of them was inevitably from the Senju clan.

This was a practice started by Hashirama and Tobirama at the founding of Konoha, to eliminate the barriers between civilians and ninja clans, leading to a wave of extensive intermarriage between the Senju clan and other clans.

The dozen or so talented Genin from the Leaf Village that Kyomu had gathered were the products of that era's intermarriages.

Although the Senju clan's blood was diluted by their generation, some fundamental genetic information wasn't so easily changed.

Especially when comparing body data with the Two-Tails, Kyomu discovered a crucial piece of genetic information.

Kyomu wasn't a scientist, but using elimination and comparison methods, he could also make very precise judgments.

Without stopping, Kyomu then put the Two-Tails, Senju descendants, and Uchiha ninja's genetic information together and meticulously analyzed them several times.

"It's you guys!"

Kyomu was excited inside, discovering through comparison that the Two-Tails, Senju descendants, and Uchiha ninja shared 17% of identical genetic information.

"This 17% that's exactly the same is obviously left by your common ancestor," Kyomu muttered with a silent chuckle, "And who your common ancestor is, goes without saying."

The Ten-Tails!

Or rather, the Divine Tree!

Because the Tailed Beasts are derived from the Ten-Tails' dismemberment, and because Otsutsuki Hagoromo was born after Otsutsuki Kaguya consumed the fruit of the Divine Tree, they naturally inherited some of her genetic information.

After finding these key segments among the data clouds, Kyomu immediately imported them into the 7D human model.

And afterward, Kyomu enjoyed the pleasure within, immediately comparing the genetic information of the Senju descendants and the Uchiha separately.

"There's so much identical genetic information."

Kyomu beamed, but looking at the thirty trillion entries in the folder he had copied, he felt overwhelmed.

Although he could use the search function, would his genetic chain have issues after the changes?

"First, try importing it into the model."

Kyomu spoke based on the data, and as soon as the data was imported, he started the simulation calculation.

"This result..." Kyomu scratched his head in irritation, "After such changes to my deep genetic information, there's an 89% chance my body's potential could surpass Kaguya, but the cost is a 90% probability of acquiring a bloodline disease."

This was a tough choice.

Kyomu wanted the benefits but not the detriments.

Scratching his head, Kyomu wanted to continue, but the Yugito interrupted him.

"You haven't slept in two weeks."

"Two weeks?" Kyomu was startled, "Has it been that long?

That's not right, I didn't feel time passing so quickly, I..."

The Yugito interrupted Kyomu, "You've been sitting still, I've been feeding you and giving you water, you only snap back to reality when you go to the bathroom."

This...

Kyomu was even more irritated now, he had used the capabilities of the universal mouse to analyze...

Right, just the folder containing genetic information records had thirty trillion entries, and he had analyzed so many folders in this time, even with external help, it was a massive undertaking.

Calculating the time, Kyomu had less than a week left.

What should he choose?

Damn, why can't it be perfect!
