In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 486 The Plan to Unify the Ninja World

Strands of white energy rose from Qing Shui's body, and in the blink of an eye, her skin and hair turned milky white, and her eyes lit up with blue light.

The third level of reverse birth!

No, it should be said that it is a reverse rebirth of four levels!

The embodiment of a one-person world, after all, only has one or two years of experience, even if the foundation of the water is very high and there are no bottlenecks.

Even with all the precious resources readily available, it's only at the mid-stage of the second level.

Compared to ordinary superhumans, this level of cultivation is naturally several times higher, but in reality, it is only on par with some of the more powerful middle-aged superhumans from major sects.

However, the original body in the Naruto world has accumulated much more, completely meeting the requirements of the third level of reverse rebirth.

Moreover, the super regenerative ability of the perfect demonic body allows him to disregard the dangers of breaking through the barrier of rebirth and simply focus on breaking through.

Therefore, there were no obstacles along the way from the first two levels, to breaking through the three dantian, and finally to the third level.

When the third level is activated, the entire body can be transformed into Qi, almost becoming an energy life form, and the individual will also be greatly strengthened.

The power released when Qi flows through the meridians is far more efficient than the power of Qi throughout my entire body.
Tailed beasts can also be seen as energy-based life forms with an inexhaustible supply of chakra, capable of infinite regeneration. If that were all, they would just be large-sized power banks.

However, the chakra quality of the tailed beasts is also extremely high, and as energy beings with enormous size, the output efficiency of the tailed beasts is also astonishing.

Therefore, even if none of the Tailed Beasts except Shukaku are skilled in ninjutsu and rely solely on instinct to fight, they still possess combat power at the top of the ninja world's pyramid. When the Tailed Beast Ball is unleashed, comparable to a nuclear bomb, even Kage-level powerhouses dare not face its edge directly, as they would either die or be severely injured.

Shimizu is now not only at the third level of reverse rebirth, but at the fourth level.

In the Qi Transformation state, the Qi throughout the body is transformed into Primordial Qi, which is also known as Sage Chakra.

His normal state is just like other people's Sage Mode, but with even greater power!

This is the immortal mode that belongs to humanity!
As the breathing of the clear water changed, the Qi-transformed body also began to be affected.

"As expected! My guess about fetal breathing was correct. In this state, my efficiency in absorbing natural energy and converting primordial qi has been greatly improved, and..."

Shimizu clenched his fist involuntarily.

The primordial Qi is extremely domineering.

Once you cultivate the innate Qi, even just a little bit, you can easily use this power to annihilate and refine that trace of alien will within your chakra.

Once you master the technique of fetal breathing, you can quickly enter the immortal mode that he created for humankind.

In fact, it could be said that once you've mastered the breathing techniques to a certain level and have a foundation, you can quickly get started.

Even if one has poor aptitude and finds it difficult to make any further progress after entering the sect, one can still rely on that little bit of innate Qi to easily refine that trace of alien will and raise one's strength to another level.

Shimizu wasn't sure whose this strange will it was—whether it belonged to Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, or even the God of Otsutsuki.

Gu Yi said this was a contingency plan left by a demon god from a certain dimension, but after the old celestial master's experience of ascending to immortality, Qing Shui felt that the latter was more likely.

Didn't Otsutsuki Shibakai abandon his physical body, leave this universe, and ascend to another dimension?
Such a being, who has transcended the Six Paths level, may have indeed become a dimensional demon god through some means.

Fortunately, that's still a long way from Qingshui.

It is known that Momoshiki Otsutsuki and the others set off for the Shinobi World after sensing Kaguya's presence, and they flew through the starry sky for more than ten years.

Now, it's still uncertain whether Kaguya will be able to reappear.

But this is still a threat.

Shimizu has enough time to improve himself and the abilities of those around him.

With chakra being suppressed and absorbed, Sage Mode will be a powerful weapon against the Otsutsuki.

With the addition of the Immortal Mode developed by Qingshui, which belongs to humanity, the average high-end combat power of humans is enough to raise it by at least half a level. If the time is long enough, it can be even higher.

Jiraiya, an ordinary Kage-level fighter, possesses peak Kage-level combat power when he activates Sage Mode.

The Sage Mode, which belongs to humans, does not have the flaws of the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, and it can become stronger as one's cultivation deepens.

There's no pre-training, no danger; even if the cultivation fails, it's just a waste of time.

But once mastered, it not only increases strength, but also lifespan.

The Immortal Mode of Clear Water is comparable to the Three Levels of Reverse Life. The first level strengthens the skin and flesh and regulates the body. Even if you are just starting out, you can extend your life by ten or twenty years. When you reach the peak of the first level, you can extend your life by sixty years.

The second level involves both external and internal processes. As the amount of innate Qi increases, the lifespan increases from about two to three Jiazi (60-year cycles), depending on the level of cultivation. Theoretically, one can live to be close to 300 years old.

If one can reconstruct the Three Elixir, one's lifespan will exceed five hundred years. And if one is like Qingshui, whose entire body is transformed into Qi, theoretically, one's lifespan will be at least a thousand years.

This is merely the current scenario that Shimizu has deduced. As time passes and his cultivation level increases, he will continue to deduce further, and the lifespan he gains will only increase further.

Of course, having already possessed a perfect demonic body, Shimizu's lifespan is conservatively estimated to be several thousand to tens of thousands of years.

This extra lifespan is not important to him.

But importantly, he could ensure that Yecang and those around him could continue to live.

Otherwise, if someone could live for a thousand years, by then all the people they knew would have died, or even been replaced by several generations. Under such vicissitudes, what would their state of mind be like?
Humans are social beings.

If immortal beings want to forge deep relationships with others and maintain their true nature, then when people also become immortal beings, they naturally hope that those around them are also immortal beings.

"Breaking through two limiters, my life level has leaped forward, and my Immortal Mode is now complete. I wonder what level my current strength has reached." Shimizu clenched his fist, feeling the increasingly pure and abundant innate Qi within his body, and looked up at the sky.

He didn't know if he had reached the level of the Six Paths yet.

In two months, he had basically exhausted all the insights he had gained from his avatar in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

In terms of spatial manipulation, whether it's opening a portal or activating Flying Thunder God Teleportation without using Blood Demon Art, he can do it with ease.

Even in a mirror dimension, Shen Tu's two-dimensional painting world can remain open for a long time as long as he has enough energy.

He was a bit behind in terms of timing; this thing was too obscure and difficult to understand. Even with the blessing of the Qi of Heaven and Earth from the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, he only learned one method to predict the future in the short term.

The more distant future is too uncertain, and without the Time Gem or other related treasures, the difficulty is very high.

Even with just these two factors, those Otsutsuki don't have much of an advantage over him in the space-time domain.

In addition, he also possesses a special skill related to the real world.

That is the change in matter.

By consuming a large amount of energy, one thing is transformed into another.

Turning lead into gold is something he can do; he can even turn an ordinary piece of metal into vibranium.

However, the latter's molecular structure is too complex, and it is more difficult to construct. Even if only one gram is produced, the energy required is enormous, even for a being like Shimizu whose chakra is comparable to that of a tailed beast.

If the substances are of the same element, it's easier; for example, turning charcoal into diamonds.

But he couldn't find any elements in this world that were the same as vibranium, uranium, or promethium.

To create a complete set of puppet armor based on extraordinary metals could take years, and even just making a single weapon, a sword, would take several months.

However, this only applies to Shimizu at the moment.

With so much time, his strength might have already broken through again. At that time, not to mention that he could achieve his goal in a shorter time, it's uncertain whether he would even need this extraordinary metal anymore.

"However, with my current strength, I should be able to easily wipe out the forces that are currently active in the ninja world. I just don't know if it will attract those few surviving Otsutsuki aliens."

After stopping training, Shimizu put one hand behind his back and pondered silently.

Even if he can't compare to the Sage of Six Paths or Kaguya Otsutsuki, he should at least have reached the threshold of the Six Paths level, right?
It might even be a little higher.

In terms of numerical strength, he may not be as powerful as Six Paths Naruto, who mastered the power of Yang and the power of the nine tailed beasts, and he may not have the strength to fight Kaguya head-on, but he is definitely not weak either.

In terms of mechanics, I reckon that Sasuke, who was taught Yin power by the Six Paths Elder, is stronger and has more methods than Sasuke who activated the Rinnegan.

If I calculate it this way, I shouldn't be worse than any of the Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke from that time. If there is a gap, it's because I don't have their combination technique, Six Paths: Planetary Devastation, a powerful move that can decide the outcome in battles of the same or even higher levels.

"We can start preparing for the attack on the other major ninja villages in the ninja world. As long as we keep an eye on Nagato's Rinnegan in advance, Madara Uchiha will not have the possibility of using Rinne Rebirth to revive. Moreover, if we don't let those tailed beasts be gathered together, there will be no possibility of the Ten-Tails being revived."

As long as no one advances to the Six Paths level by becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, there shouldn't be any new troubles arising in this vast ninja world.

The only possible threats were the Six Paths Sage brothers, whose fates were unknown, and Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had been hiding in the ninja world for over a thousand years.

Shimizu continued to ponder, gazing at the pale, cold moon that had peeked out more than halfway between day and night.

Isshiki Otsutsuki seeks to find and cultivate the perfect vessel. Before Jigen's physical body collapses, this guy wouldn't risk his lifespan ending prematurely to cause trouble for him.

In theory, as long as one doesn't provoke him or there's a huge profit to be made, Yi Shi won't have to confront him within the next forty years.

So, the remaining ones are the Sage of Six Paths brothers.

Clearly, since the Sage of Six Paths could easily revive Naruto and Sasuke who had just died, and summon the Five Kage of the past generations from the Pure Land as spirits with a wave of his hand, it shows that life and death are not insurmountable boundaries for him.

It's possible that, like Gu Qiting, if a spirit reaches the state of "exiting the Yang God," then even without a physical body, the spirit can still possess many of the characteristics of a physical body. Whether or not there is a physical body may not have such a significant impact in reality.

In some ways, the Sage of Six Paths was like Zhang Zhiwei, possessing extraordinary talent at a young age and almost invincible power in his late twenties. For a long time afterward, he rarely even made a move.

From birth to his youth, in a period of at most twenty or thirty years, Hagoromo Otsutsuki possessed power that was quite strong even among those at the Six Paths level. Together with Hamura Otsutsuki, who had also comprehended the Yin power of the Six Paths, they sealed away their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

These two brothers didn't eat any chakra fruits along their journey; they relied entirely on their own strength.

The Otsutsuki clan started from a very high level, but ordinary Otsutsuki like Urashiki and Kinshiki were actually only at the level of ordinary Kage. Momoshiki's strength was not weak after he swallowed the chakra fruit that Kinshiki had transformed into. Even when Naruto and Sasuke joined forces in their middle age, they could only barely suppress Momoshiki. However, the Six Paths level experience card given to Naruto and Sasuke by the Six Paths Elder had long expired by then, and at most they were only relatively strong Kage-level fighters.

Reaching the Six Paths level already places one among the stronger members of the Otsutsuki clan.

Unlike the Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths did not eat a Chakra Fruit from birth to reach the Six Paths level. His only real opportunity was the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, and the rest depended entirely on his own personal talent.

A thousand years have passed, and even without his original physical body, who can know what level this half-blood Otsutsuki, who cultivated such great power in just a few decades, has reached now?
The power of the Six Paths Yin and Yang that was separated out was enough to temporarily elevate Naruto and Sasuke to the Six Paths level, and also seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

From this perspective, the Sage of Six Paths' current strength is likely far greater than that of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

but……

"As long as the Infinite Tsukuyomi doesn't descend, those Otsutsuki don't appear in the world, and the new generation of Indra and Ashura haven't grown up yet, or even appeared yet, and nothing unexpected happens to the people and things that the Sage of Six Paths cares about, then that old man shouldn't have to show his face and mess with me."

So, if we proceed steadily and surely, taking over the entire ninja world is only a matter of time. The real problem is that after unification, several decades will be enough for the ninja village system to take root in people's hearts. I can't be like Qin Shi Huang, making multiple tours after unification to maintain stability. I must cultivate enough power to suppress those restless elements.

In any case, it's time to put the plan to unify the ninja world on the agenda.
