Chapter 201 Purifying Chakra with Willpower

Border of the Land of Rain.

Eight thousand meters in the air, on the back of a giant clay bird, five wandering ninjas lay motionless. Li Yao sat behind one of the wandering ninjas' heads, holding the man's head tightly with one hand.

Dark green chakra flowed from Li Yao's hand, quickly enveloping the wandering ninja in his hand and penetrating deep into his body.

After a while, about a minute later, the wandering ninja's body suddenly trembled, as if he had been electrocuted.

Deep within the wandering ninja's body, his illusory soul was being permeated and assimilated by a mass of dark green chakra, transforming from illusory and colorless to dark green.

"Don't... go away!!"

"Kill...kill you!"

"what……"

"Death...die..."

"No...no..."

"Who are you... ah..."

As the illusory, colorless soul was gradually stained dark green, the originally stagnant soul became lively and eventually possessed all the intelligence of a wandering ninja, becoming indistinguishable from a human.

The wandering ninja's soul let out a painful wail.

He felt his will and consciousness fading away.

He was terrified, he was furious, and after a final scream, he finally fell silent.

The originally illusory and colorless soul has now turned completely dark green.

Soon, the dark green faded away, and the soul returned to its illusory and colorless state, still naturally radiating spiritual energy. However, this time, the spiritual energy seemed to have been purified by the Rinnegan's eye power chakra, no longer radiating unique spiritual energy fluctuations, but instead becoming pure spiritual energy.

The soul is not in a state of dementia, but rather in the state of an infant in the womb, neither sad nor happy, neither crying nor laughing, with no emotional expression on its face, just like a stone without any intelligence.

"Bang!"

On the back of the clay bird, Li Yao withdrew his hand from the head of the wandering ninja, and with a thought, created a shadow clone.

The shadow clone immediately transformed into a spirit and entered the body of the wandering ninja.

A soul devoid of spiritual energy fluctuations is like a private car that has become a public vehicle; anyone can get on, and there are no more obstacles.

The shadow clone's spirit quickly merged... no, it quickly merged with the soul of the wandering ninja.

Thump...thump...thump!

In an instant, the soul, which had been expressionless and devoid of joy or sorrow, became lively again, like a fully charged toy.

The spiritual energy it emitted once again possessed a unique fluctuation.

The body, which had been in a vegetative state due to the destruction of the soul's will, regained its vitality.

"It's done!"

Li Yao's lips curled slightly upward as he stood up, looked at the wandering ninja clone who had also stood up, and smiled knowingly.

This time it was a real success.

The wandering ninja's soul was completely possessed by Li Yaoying's clone spirit.

Shadow Clone... no, now it's the wandering ninja clone. He stretched out his hands, and with a thought, a ball of chakra appeared in his hands.

He controlled the chakra without any awkwardness, and the same was true for the chakra within his body.

This feeling is like many time-travel novels, where after traveling through time, you occupy a body, but your soul is still the same as the original body's soul; only the person who controls your soul's will is different.

"Excellent, the clone technique is complete; only one final step remains to achieve the perfect clone!"

With a thought, Li Yao stepped forward and placed his hand on the forehead of the wandering ninja. Dark green chakra once again covered and enveloped the clone's entire body, penetrating deep into the clone's flesh and reaching its soul.

At this moment, the soul of the wandering ninja clone is in a lively situation, missing only one person to make a mahjong table.

Three waves of will surged within the clone's soul.

The dominant force controlling the soul is Li Yao's will fluctuations.

Although the other two fluctuations of will were very weak, they were still able to compete with him for control of the clone's soul.

These two fluctuations of will belong to Madara Uchiha, and to White Zetsu, or you could say Black Zetsu.

Half a month ago, Li Yao had an incredible stroke of luck and suddenly found the fusion point between the Rinnegan's eye power chakra and the Earth Grudge Fear secret technique chakra.

Once the fusion node of the two chakras is found, it's like a chain with a gear attached. As long as it keeps turning, the chain will eventually be fitted with all the gears in an orderly manner.

Having found the fusion point between the Rinnegan's eye power chakra and the Earth Grudge Secret Technique chakra, Li Yao was able to fuse the two chakras into a new chakra by following the steps.

This new chakra made Li Yao's perception of the soul more acute.

Even before the fusion was fully successful, Li Yao had already sensed the fluctuations of three wills within his soul through this new chakra.

Two of them naturally belonged to Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

Li Yao was shocked.

It was unexpected that his chakra contained the chakra fluctuations of Madara Uchiha, since the White Zetsu cells and his cells had completely merged into one.

But his soul actually contained the will fluctuations of Uchiha Madara, something he never expected.

Even more unexpectedly, it was Black Zetsu. This guy was the most deeply hidden, and even left a trace of his will in his soul.

"How exactly did they do that?"

When Li Yao sensed the fluctuations of Madara and Black Zetsu's will within his soul, he was initially shocked and puzzled.

He always believed that his soul had mutated, and he was very sensitive to and repulsed by any forces that invaded his soul.

Just like after his consciousness merged with his chakra, he has yet to encounter any genjutsu chakra that can invade his chakra.

All of this is thanks to the mutation of the soul.

Li Yao also always felt that there was nothing wrong with his soul.

As a result, his soul was marked without his knowledge.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to fuse the Rinnegan's eye power chakra and the Earth Grudge Fear secret technique chakra this time, which further enhanced his soul perception ability, he might not have been able to perceive the abnormality in his soul until he mastered the Bloodline Limit chakra.

"How exactly did they do that?"

Li Yao was completely baffled. Finally, he used a memory exploration technique on his own soul to investigate what happened a year after he was saved by Bai Jue.

Then Li Yao understood why Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu could leave traces of their will in his soul, while he himself could not detect them.

Back then, Li Yao's soul and will faced a choice: either accept the fusion of White Zetsu cells and the will fluctuations of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, or die.

Driven by the instinct for survival, Li Yao's soul made an instinctive choice to accept the fusion of White Zetsu cells and the will fluctuations of both Black Zetsu and Madara.

Because it was Li Yao's soul and will that made him agree.

Therefore, after the fusion, Madara and Black Zetsu's will fluctuations were like his shadow clone spirits possessing the souls of wandering ninjas, becoming one of their own.

Because his soul had implicitly accepted that Madara and Black Zetsu's will fluctuations were on his side, Li Yao naturally couldn't sense any abnormality in his soul.

Even now, if it weren't for the fusion of the Rinnegan's eye power chakra and the Earth Grudge Secret Technique chakra enhancing his soul perception, he wouldn't have been aware that there was something wrong with his soul.

Fortunately... it was discovered early, and there happened to be a solution.

Li Yao is very fortunate now.

The dark green chakra is a new chakra resulting from the fusion of the Rinnegan's ocular power chakra and the Earth Grudge Technique chakra.

The previous scene has already confirmed that this new dark green chakra has the ability to purify the fluctuations of will in the soul.

Li Yao called this new chakra "Will Purification Chakra".

Now he uses his willpower to purify the chakra of Madara and Black Zetsu within the clone's soul, to see if he can succeed.

Soon, the dark green chakra re-entered the clone's soul, purifying the will fluctuations of Madara and Black Zetsu under Li Yao's control.

hiss!

To Li Yao's surprise, the fluctuations of Madara and Black Zetsu's will disappeared quickly, like a wisp of smoke, under the purification of their chakra.

"It seems it really was just a slight fluctuation of will."

Li Yao thought to himself.

The fluctuations of Madara and White Zetsu's will left in his soul were like spiritual energy that naturally overflowed from the soul; they were not Madara and White Zetsu's will itself, and could be easily purified and removed.

It mainly depends on whether or not it can be discovered.

Once discovered, removing it is naturally not difficult.
