Chapter 162 The Cloud Village's Bloodline Limit Transfer Plan

"How can I break free from the control of the spots?"

Having figured out that it was all Ban's doing, Li Yao was furious, but he had to face reality.

Until he breaks free from Madara's control, he can only continue to be Madara's henchman and pawn.

"Madara's methods are at the Six Paths level!"

"I must reach the Six Paths level to be able to undo the methods Madara used on me."

Li Yao quickly pondered how to raise his strength to the Six Paths level.

To reach the Six Paths level, one must first be able to control Six Paths level chakra; this is the foundation.

There are currently two ways to master Six Paths level chakra.

One is to fuse the chakra of the nine tailed beasts.

However, Li Yao does not have the Rinnegan and cannot control the Gedo Mazo, so he cannot absorb the nine tailed beasts and fuse them into the Ten-Tails' chakra, which is the Six Paths level chakra. This method can be disregarded.

Moreover, the Six Paths level chakra obtained in this way has great hidden dangers. It is an external force, not one's own power, and requires a much stronger force to suppress it.

Both Obito and Madara needed at least one Rinnegan to suppress the massive Ten-Tails chakra within them.

Without the Rinnegan, Li Yao would have a hard time suppressing such a massive amount of Ten-Tails chakra, and might even be devoured and turned into nourishment.

Therefore, the second approach is the most suitable for Li Yao.

The Six Paths level Bloodline Limit is formed by the fusion of seven chakra attributes: wind, water, thunder, fire, earth, yin, and yang.

With Li Yao's absolute control over chakra and his special ability to sense changes and fluctuations in chakra nature, the path of attribute fusion is most suitable for him, and he can also perfectly control the bloodline limit chakra he developed.

Don't worry about being suddenly used as nourishment for Kaguya Otsutsuki by Black Zetsu.

"Alright, from now on we'll follow the path of bloodline limit."

Li Yao had made up his mind, but before that, he had to focus all his efforts on developing the Perfect Transformation Technique.

For Li Yao, the third generation always held revenge as his top priority, and no one could replace him.

After he develops the Perfect Transformation Technique and takes over Konoha, he will slowly develop the Bloodline Limit.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time.

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha is still alive, so there's no need to test or provoke him.

After Madara dies, he will have plenty of time to develop his bloodline limit.

……

Hidden Cloud Village.

morning.

A high mountain in the eastern part of Yunlei Canyon.

From the middle of the mountain to the top, the rock inside was hollowed out and a secret research base was built inside.

Deep within the research base, in a dimly lit secret room, Whirlpool Leaf, already awake, crouched in a dark corner, her desperate gaze filled with an intense, unyielding hatred.

The iron gate opened, and a white-clad adult male Cloud Village ninja walked in. Yellow light shone from the passageway behind the Cloud Village ninja, illuminating the curled-up figure of Uzumaki Yoko.

It's clear that Yunyin didn't mistreat Xiaoyezi; you can tell from her chubby face that she at least wasn't starving.

"Get up!" The Cloud Village ninja stood in front of Little Leaf and said condescendingly.

Xiao Yezi looked up, numbly stood up, and followed the man out of the secret room without saying a word or offering any resistance.

Little Leaf wants to live. She wants to live until the day she has the power to destroy the world, and she is willing to become a ghost for that.

Inside the Yunyin research base, there are only two passageways, forming a cross shape, with laboratories distributed on both sides of the passageways.

The secret room where Xiao Yezi was imprisoned was at the very bottom of the cross.

The two walked through the crossroads without stopping, until they reached the very top of the crossroads.

The Cloud Ninja opened the door to the secret room on the left and went inside.

Inside, two research ninjas in white lab coats had been waiting for quite some time.

Without needing to be reminded, Xiao Ye naturally walked to the single bed in the middle.

It's called a bed, but it's actually the same torture bed that Li Yao once lay on in Konoha. It's covered with various chains and bandages, which are equipment prepared to prevent the test subjects from moving around and affecting the operation.

Just as Xiao Yezi was about to lie down, one of the two research ninjas suddenly said, "No need to do any other experiments today. Just sit in the chair and have your blood drawn."

Xiao Yezi frowned slightly upon hearing this; she sensed something was amiss.

Over the past year, blood draws were just the most basic procedure; cutting flesh from various parts of her body and injecting various drugs for experiments were the norm.

Today, they suddenly only drew blood; it doesn't seem like a simple matter.

But what can Xiaoyezi do?

She had no choice but to do as she was told, and sat down on the chair by the wall, stretching out her arm covered with needle marks of various sizes.

The Cloud Village research ninja drew two vials of blood and then signaled to Little Leaf that it was enough.

Xiao Yezi's expression grew even more serious; two vials of blood were far too little.

What exactly does the other party mean?

Little Leaf had all sorts of guesses in her mind.

"Over here!"

When they arrived at the intersection of the central passageway again, the Cloud Village ninja pulled Xiao Yezi along, and the two walked to the right passageway. Xiao Yezi's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but she still obediently followed behind.

After the experiment, the Cloud Village ninja would usually take Little Leaf back to the secret room.

But today, the Cloud Village ninja led Little Leaf to the right, then came to the base entrance and walked straight out.

Xiao Yezi's expression changed instantly, and she became secretly on guard.

She didn't know what "Yunyin" meant, or whether it meant they thought she was no longer useful and wanted to kill her.

If so, she would never have died without resistance.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you."

The Cloud Village ninja seemed to sense Xiaoyezi's nervousness. He turned his head and gave Xiaoyezi a meaningful smile. His gaze lingered on the girl's loose top, which bulged at her chest, for a few breaths before he swallowed hard a few times and turned away.

Xiao Yezi felt a chill run down her spine. The Yunyin man's gaze was like that of a hungry wolf staring at a fat sheep, making her very uncomfortable.

But she clearly didn't understand the meaning behind the look the man gave her.

Soon, Xiao Yezi followed the Cloud Village ninja to a secluded valley.

As Xiao Yezi entered the valley, the atmosphere inside sent chills down her spine.

Rows of ornately decorated wooden houses adorned with lanterns sit neatly in the valley, resembling a bustling little town.

But the streets were deserted.

But Little Leaf could sense that there was a person inside some of the wooden houses.

But in broad daylight, all these people remained motionless inside the wooden house.

If it weren't for the chakra fluctuations that could still be sensed, Xiao Yezi would have thought the room was full of dead people.

"Where is this place? A prison?"

"If it's a prison, why are the cabins made of flimsy wooden planks, and why are some of the cabin doors still open?"

"This is not normal!"

Xiao Yezi felt uneasy, but she didn't know where this unease came from.

Soon, the Cloud Village ninja led Little Leaf to an empty wooden house, which was empty.

"Go inside, you'll be living here from now on," the Cloud Village ninja said to Little Leaf.

"Where is this place?" Little Leaf, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"Hehe," the Cloud Ninja glanced at the girl's graceful body and chuckled, "You'll find out tonight."

"Tonight..." Little Leaf murmured softly, not knowing what the Cloud Ninja meant.

Soon, night fell, and the lanterns hanging outside the wooden houses and the lights inside all lit up, illuminating the entire valley and making it look like a beautiful night market town.

However, the more this was the case, the more uneasy Xiao Yezi felt.

Soon, a chakra fluctuation entered Xiaoyezi's chakra perception range, and then... two, three, four, and more and more chakra fluctuations entered Xiaoyezi's chakra perception range.

This means that many people have entered the valley.

Xiao Yezi quickly went to the door and looked outside. She dared not go out, because if she did, the restriction in her body would activate, causing her to feel unbearable pain and itching all over her body.

Before long, a group of men came into Xiao Yezi's view.

The men then went into the lit wooden huts.

Soon after, the sounds of women's pitiful cries and men's pleasure came from inside the wooden houses.

Hearing the cries of these desperate women, Xiao Yezi's face turned deathly pale.

Even if she was slow to realize it, she understood what was happening inside those wooden houses.
