Chapter 254 Ninja Cat - Kurotan!

Can charcoal be used to implant Sharingan?
of course can!

This question actually touches on the essence of the Temple of Light and the Apostles.

Some apostles felt that the Temple of Light was too stingy, since the monsters they defeated with their own strength could only be obtained by drawing treasure chests.

They've cut corners to the bare minimum.

However, this kind of thinking only applies to low-level apostles; such thoughts disappear when they reach higher levels.

Li Xia initially shared this view, only to later realize how terribly wrong she was.

It's like getting equipment from a boss in a game; even if you get a whole set, you can only use it in the game.

What does opening a treasure chest in the palace represent?
It's like the equipment you get in the game is directly brought into your real life!
That's outrageous! This isn't being stingy; it's practically charity.

As for what many low-ranking apostles dream of, they can get everything directly without opening treasure chests.
According to Aowu, it's probably only at the ninth rank or above.

Therefore, any spoils obtained through means recognized by the Hall of Fame are acceptable.

It will then be specialized into hall-certified 'equipment' or something else.

Kurozumi may not be able to fully utilize the Sharingan's abilities, but using it is definitely not a problem.

Later, we can try to find a way to complete the story through the Hall of Fame. The so-called Uchiha limitation and the Otsutsuki bloodline are probably a joke in front of the Hall of Fame.
The only condition that restricts the use of black charcoal is that the kitten does not have a blue bar.

It has no form of energy, which is why it needs to cultivate chakra to activate its energy bar.

Orochimaru was unaware of the inside story, and after hearing Li Xia's affirmative answer, he only glanced at him.

Since you're so sure...

He turned to look at the kitten, his snake-like eyes now showing great interest.

An ordinary cat could never withstand the Sharingan.

Could this cat be a creation of 'Natsu'?

Orochimaru, who originally planned to just find someone to teach him, now wants to personally investigate the cat's secrets.

“Cultivating chakra is no easy task. Let’s do a physical examination first and get started quickly.”

Ok?
Why have you suddenly become so proactive?

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal nervously rubbed its paws together. Li Xia patted its head and said softly:
"It's alright, go ahead."

He watched as Kurozumi followed Orochimaru into another room.

Li Xia also found a chair in the hall and sat down.

My thoughts had already drifted hundreds of kilometers away to Konoha.

If Moriyama fails, the next step will be to directly hire Konoha ninjas to come after him!

Damn it! !

Hiashi Hyuga held the intelligence compiled by Ibiki in his hand, his Byakugan eyes fixed intently on the words on his palm.

It's as if this allows us to see the truth of things through words.

"Lord Hiashi, how is the situation?"

An old man with a wrinkled face asked in a low voice.

The cramped room was located in a secluded corner of the Hyuga mansion, guarded by numerous Byakugan.

From a 360-degree panoramic perspective, it's impossible for anyone to sneak into this place.

It also isolates all eavesdropping, making it the place where the Hyuga family discusses important secrets, and also the place with the highest level of secrecy.

He shook the paper in his hand and handed it to the elders who were gathered around.

These are all members of the Hyuga clan's core hierarchy.

The elders took the paper and examined it carefully by the dim light.

A look of astonishment gradually appeared on his aged face, and his eyes widened.

"Is this true?"

An old woman raised her head, her somewhat cloudy eyes looking at Hinata.

"Unless that wandering ninja named Moriyama can withstand Ibiki, which is obviously impossible."

Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice:

"To ensure authenticity, I even had someone use illusion magic to hypnotize me, and confirmed it multiple times, in addition to the information Hyuga Neji brought from the Land of Birds."

He took a deep breath:

"This confirms the authenticity of the intelligence you possess!"

With each word they spoke, the wrinkles on the faces of the Hyuga elders seemed to deepen.

In the end, looking at the words on the paper, a deep sense of confusion appeared on his face.

No — according to the information above.

Is this really a 'wild eye roll'?
Where did they come from?
It's important to know that Hyuga's protection of the Byakugan has reached an insane level; he even uses curses on his own people.

They even began to suspect that some members of the Hyuga clan might have secretly left offspring outside.

As the discussions among the elders became increasingly absurd...

Hiashi Hyuga finally stood up, and the chaotic sounds in the room gradually faded away.

"Gentlemen, I think there is another possibility."

The elders waited quietly, eager to hear what the patriarch had to say.

Hiashi Hyuga took a deep breath and threw out the possibility that he had suddenly thought of after a long period of contemplation.

"That eye roll...it's from the moon!"

Moon?

How can this be?

Some of the elders who had carefully reviewed the family records suddenly looked a little off.

But the other elders stood up:

"Nonsense, how could there be white eyes on the moon?"

This is understandable, as the Hyuga clan has a history spanning nearly a thousand years, and there are numerous records within the clan.

Only a very small number of mentions are made of the other white eye on the moon.

It would be a pipe dream to expect all the elders in the family to have read this record.

Even Hiashi Hyuga only learned about it because he had read the "Head of the Clan Scroll" when he was in charge of the position.

The 'Patriarch's Scroll' is a book of inheritance left by each successive patriarch to the next. It can be added to, but cannot be deleted.

Furthermore, it is not allowed to be taken away under any circumstances and can only be stored in a specific secret room.

The above mentions that there are still relatives on the moon, and provides a detailed account of the events.

They regarded this as the Hyuga clan's biggest secret, and even as a way out.

The noisy elders noticed the strange expressions on some people's faces and gradually realized something was wrong.

Hyuga flicked the documents in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"First of all, according to Moriyama's account, this Byakugan asked a very strange question."

That's what era we live in now!

This is very abnormal. As long as you are a ninja living here, who wouldn't know about the current era?

Only after being isolated from the world for a long time would one have such a question!

"Secondly, there was a divine dragon beside him. Moriyama confirmed it repeatedly, and it was neither a mechanism nor something that looked like a mystery."

It was definitely a divine dragon!

Hinata let out a soft sigh of relief. That was Shenlong!
It has never appeared in the ninja world; it can only be seen in legends.

If it really is a divine dragon, besides the legendary omnipotent ancestor, who else could create such a magical creature?

Furthermore, Hinata firmly believes that the creature that appears in various myths and legends is merely a purely imaginary being.

There is only one possibility: that the dragons really did exist! They don't exist now because the dragon race went to the moon with their ancestors.

Is it reasonable?

That makes perfect sense.

Hiashi Hyuga spoke more and more fluently, and his thoughts gradually became smoother:

“Look at this one: when Moriyama said he was from the Hyuga clan, he didn’t deny it, but rather tacitly agreed.”

This is quite crucial; unless someone has ulterior motives, they would never consider themselves part of someone else's family.

If that mysterious white eye really did come from the moon, then it is indeed 'family'!
As for ulterior motives
You can't fake an eye roll!

When the time comes, we'll find out whether the eye roll is real or fake; eye rolls have been seen outside before.

A foolish member of the clan lost an eye.

After a long investigation, the whereabouts of the white-eyed creature were discovered.

In order to use this Byakugan, Kirigakure needs protective talismans and other methods.

Even if this Byakugan was stolen from somewhere else, it would still be unable to escape the real Hyuga!

Therefore, impersonating someone from the Hyuga clan is an extremely foolish idea.

Looking at the faces of the elders who gradually fell into deep thought.

Hiashi Hyuga continued to add to his findings:
"Intelligence indicates that this mysterious person is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat! This was not only confirmed by Moriyama's confession, but also by Hyuga Neji's discovery in the Land of Birds!"

After eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining option, however unbelievable, is the truth.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the elders nodded in approval of Hyuga Hiashi's conjecture.

Soon, the Hyuga clan's higher-ups passed a resolution.

"Send out your elite forces and bring back your people from the moon at all costs!"

Under the moonlight, a group of people quietly left Konoha Village and rushed into the boundless forest.

Aowu yawned and put down the binoculars.

Li Xia smiled as she looked at the message "The fish has taken the bait" sent by Aowu in the team channel.

The most skillful disguise is definitely not elaborate infiltration.

Instead, it's about making the other person genuinely feel that you are one of their own.

Li Xia closed the panel and looked at the charcoal-covered man squatting on the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

Before it, Orochimaru was sternly instructing it on how to condense chakra.

"Chakra is an energy contained within the body, originating from every cell of the body."

Everyone possesses chakra, but some people's chakra is too weak to be refined.

It must be said that, as one of the legendary Sannin, they were all quite capable of teaching their disciples.

Orochimaru first explained chakra to Kurotan in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and then carefully observed and confirmed that the kitten really understood.

He nodded in satisfaction and moved on to the next step.

"To gather chakra, you must first sense the existence of chakra."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice echoed in the underground research room, if one ignored the dim environment and Orochimaru's face, which did not look like that of a good person.

This "Illustration of Teachings and Resolving Doubts" must be a beautiful picture.

"The only way for ninjas in small ninja villages to sense chakra is through rigorous training."

However, an even faster method is for a powerful ninja to directly gain a sense of chakra through guidance.

Orochimaru stretched out his pale, slender hand; he was undoubtedly the powerful ninja he had described.

The fact that Orochimaru could quickly create a ninja village from scratch speaks volumes about his terrifying talent for training.

Pale blue illusory energy seeped from Orochimaru's body, eventually enveloping his entire form.

This powerful chakra slowly extended from his arm to Kurotan's head, gradually enveloping Kurotan's entire body.

This step was clearly quite dangerous, because even Orochimaru's expression turned serious.

The speed at which chakra is applied is extremely slow.

It can only be said that Li Xia's decision to ask Orochimaru to help Kurotan activate his chakra energy bar was absolutely the right one.

Among the three, in terms of chakra manipulation and overall ability to train newcomers...

Orochimaru is definitely one of the best!
After a while, the light blue chakra that enveloped the two slowly dissipated.

Orochimaru withdrew his hand and let out a long breath:

"Alright, this cat is very smart. It can now gather chakra on its own following the route I just guided it to."

Even compared to humans, its speed is not slow.

That's for sure. Although they don't have a digitized body, they are 'lucky ones' who have come to the hall as beings from a derivative world.

Black Charcoal's body had already been modified by the temple.

In a sense, the greatest value lies in the physical modifications that the Temple has made to these follower creatures.

With patient nurturing, it will eventually blossom and bear fruit.

But most people can't afford to train them, and they don't have the patience for it.

As for the many low-ranking apostles who casually use these creatures as meat shields to attract fire, it can only be said that they are wasting their talents.

A notification from the Hall of Light had already appeared in front of Li Xia:
[Executioner, your follower Kurozumi is currently receiving training from the story character Orochimaru.]

[Executioner, your follower Kurozumi has successfully completed his first chakra condensation.]

[Executioner, your follower Black Charcoal has activated its energy bar, which can be viewed in the panel.]

I casually opened the panel of the black charcoal, and sure enough, I saw something different in the black charcoal panel.

【Alice - Black Charcoal】

[Training System: Primary Life Energy/Chakra]

[Vitality: 100%]

【Spirit: 16】

【Physique: 20】

[Luck: 2] (Owner's Luck Value + Personal Luck Value) * 0.4

The attributes of the charcoal have also improved significantly compared to before, with the strongest improvement being the +3 to all attributes brought by the Ascension Light.
This is a natural enhancement resulting from the flow of energy from a higher-level world to a lower-level world.

It is not a settlement attribute point.

Unfortunately, only Li Xia obtained the attribute points for the Tier 2 Arena Supreme Badge; otherwise, this wave of Black Charcoal alone would have been enough to propel him to new heights.

The black charcoal beard, which had been closed, twitched twice. It opened its round, bright cat eyes and looked at its own body with great surprise.

"Oh? It worked?"

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes flashed with interest once again.

This wasn't the first time he had helped a ninja sense chakra, but even among the many people he had trained, Kurozumi's speed was exceptionally fast.

This is definitely not an ordinary cat.
That urgent desire to conduct research reached its peak at this moment.

Orochimaru grabbed Kurozumi's little cat paw:
"We're short on time, so let's do a thorough examination first. By the way, what kind of Uchiha corpse's eyes would you prefer to be plucked from?"

Black charcoal: ???
"Meow!" (Don't touch me!)
