Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Pretending to be hit by the Scorching Release technique, Yamanaka Kei landed in the dense forest, watching Rasa and Yotsuya disappear into the distance.

Three of Luo Sha's five limbs were completely smashed into bloody foam.

With the current medical technology of Sunagakure.

If treated promptly, saving his life shouldn't be difficult.

But they won't be able to regenerate a severed arm or perform limb transplants even in ten years.

He lost both legs and his left arm.

It is impossible to move quickly, and hand seals are also greatly restricted.

Even if Rasa were to later acquire a puppet prosthetic limb, his strength would be reduced by seventy or eighty percent, making it impossible for him to ever become the Kazekage again.

They can only transform into ruthless mining machines, constantly panning for gold in the desert to provide financial support for Sunagakure Village.

"Hmm...it's not like there's no way?"

Yamanaka rubbed his chin, recalling the puppet modification technology of the people of Sunagakure.

If Rasa could be like Sasori of the Red Sand, willing to sacrifice himself to transform himself into a human puppet.

It's quite possible that they could pull off a stunning comeback and reclaim their position as Kazekage.

Forehead......

Should we chase after them and eliminate them completely?

[Ding~ Significantly altered the fate of an important supporting character in the side story, causing a shift in the world line's development. Gained: 2 chances to draw an entry, 1 chance to randomly draw a related entry, and 1 chance to receive an entry as a gift.]

The familiar system notification sound came through.

Along with this comes the power of fate, drawn by the blue tag "Fate Master".

As Shan Zhongjing felt his luck power increase slightly again, a smile appeared on his lips.

Since Rasa's fate has already changed.

That means the other party has truly lost the chance to become the Kazekage.

As for whether or not human puppetry will be modified.

Does it matter?

The limit to the size of a human puppet is there.

At most, it's just a difference between a ruthless mining machine and a highly efficient ruthless mining machine.

The scenery in the mountains can be easily disassembled into a pile of parts.

Are they important supporting characters in the side stories?

I reviewed the system notification I had just received.

Yamanaka Kei's eyes flickered slightly as he stared intently at the "Random Related Term Extraction Opportunity" in the center.

Random term selection opportunity: Randomly select a term from the host's activated terms. The selected term will definitely be related to the original term.

like......

Is it time to test one's luck again?

"System, use random related keyword extraction opportunities."

[The randomly associated keyword is "Natural Immortal Body". Congratulations, host, you have obtained the purple keyword "Immortal Spirit Abundance".]

Immortal Spirit Abundance (Purple): Naturally nourishes the spirit and calms the mind to cultivate the spirit. It has a near-perfect mastery of the immortal techniques passed down from ancient temples, which are most suitable for human cultivation. The spirit and soul begin to undergo a transformation, with a significant increase in spiritual strength, spiritual resilience, spiritual resistance, spiritual limit, and perception ability; improved affinity with natural energy, control over immortal techniques, release speed, and release effect; and enhanced temperament, will, and belief.

! ! ! !

Shan Zhongjing's eyes suddenly lit up.

It immediately associated the red keyword and even pulled out a purple one.

The key is...

This thing seems to be the missing piece of the [Natural Immortal Body] that he had previously noticed!

"System, activate [Celestial Spirit Abundance]!"

Yamanaka Kei pursed his lips, suppressing his inner excitement.

A flood of memories about cultivating immortal techniques rushed into his mind.

Calm your mind and spirit, visualize your inner journey, and absorb the natural energy of the universe to temper your spirit and refine your soul!

The memories of previously cultivating the Natural Immortal Body now corroborate these memories that have been integrated into my mind.

By drawing inferences from similar cases, one can gain a comprehensive understanding.

The memories that had just flooded into my mind brought forth many different insights.

[The red affix "Natural Immortal Body" can be fused with the purple affixes "Immortal Spirit Abundance", "Master of Yin Escape", and "Grave Healer". Initiate fusion?]

"Hmm? Fusion!"

Although Yamanaka Kei was surprised by the existence of the [Master of Yin Escape] and the [Grave Healer], he did not hesitate at all.

All memories related to cultivating immortal arts began to flash rapidly through his mind.

The natural energy within a radius of several kilometers was also attracted by his aura and surged towards him.

The original azure-blue Sage Chakra light began to merge with the gray-black of Yin Release, the emerald green of Yang Release, and the brilliant gold of Sage Spirit.

Various forces intertwined and merged, constantly absorbing new natural energy, and gradually transformed into a pitch-black color!

A deep, dark, and faintly shimmering black energy enveloped the mountain scenery.

The next moment, all colors slowly faded away, turning into pure colorless white light.

Between black and white.

The skin, muscles, meridians, bones, and internal organs, which had already been tempered once before, were once again cleansed and washed by the newly generated immortal energy.

The surging and profound spiritual power also began to be compressed and condensed by the energy of immortal techniques.

"Hmph~"

A muffled groan escaped Yamanaka's lips.

It felt as if my soul was soaking in a hot spring, bringing a blissful and refreshing sensation.

With a single thought, one can clearly see every meridian, every bone, and every strand of flesh within oneself...

Unlike the simulated images fed back from experience and feeling when previously merging [zero-frame start], this is different.

This time, it's a true introspection!

[Fusion complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the golden attribute 'Yin Yang Immortal Master'.]

Yin-Yang Immortal Master (Gold): A chosen immortal who has fused the inheritance of various schools of immortal arts, tempering their muscles, bones, skin, flesh, soul, and spirit to perfection. They understand the changes of Yin and Yang and grasp the mechanisms of nature. When learning, refining, improving, and creating Yin-Yang immortal arts, their efficiency is maximized. Their mastery of Yin-Yang immortal arts, their effects, their physical recovery, their resistance to immortal arts, and their affinity with natural energy are all maximized. In their normal immortal mode, all their attributes are greatly enhanced. After recovering from injury, all their attributes are also greatly enhanced.

A system notification tone sounded.

The strange sensations on Shan Zhongjing's body gradually subsided, and he waved his hand to conjure a water mirror in front of him.

Looking at the figure in the mirror, with a pair of jet-black dragon horns, radiating a deep black light, and protected by black dragons formed from strands of immortal energy, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This image...

He doesn't seem like a good person at all!

With a thought, the originally pitch-black magical energy transformed into a dazzling pure white.

Yamanaka Kei touched the dragon horns on his forehead that had grown a little longer, and the mark between his eyebrows that had become larger.

this......

Little White Dragon?

Looking at the detailed explanation of the golden entry 【Yin Yang Immortal Master】.

I took another look at the various complex pieces of information that were gradually being sorted out in my mind.

A slight smile appeared on Shan Zhongjing's lips.

Both "Master of Yin Release" and "Grave Healer" have been incorporated into the new entries, and his mastery of ordinary Yin Release and Yang Release has also increased accordingly.

Moreover, the special effects originally attached to the [Grave Healer] entry have not disappeared.

Instead, it transformed into several special Yang Escape Immortal Techniques that he could perfectly control and use at will!

These are the changes that can be visually observed during system prompts and memory infusion.

Other hidden benefits are also numerous.

As his mental strength continued to increase, the red word "Transmigrator," which had been gradually weakening, began to slowly amplify and enhance again, even after his mental strength had been reduced by more than half following the cleansing of essence.

The power of the Wood Release Jinchuriki is closely related to Sage Mode and Yang Release. Even without any hints, it is foreseeable that its power will increase again!

"Is it a special road?"

As he felt the power surging through his body, Yamanaka Kei clenched his fist slightly.

Unlike before, one must combine natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy to create Sage Chakra in order to enter Sage Mode and use Sage Techniques.

Now he has been able to break free from the shackles of chakra.

Freely absorb the energy between heaven and earth, and simply use it to perform Yin-Yang Immortal Arts!

Such power...

The nemesis of Otsutsuki?
