Konoha: Who is the good person?

Feigning to be struck by the Scorching Style attack, Yamanaka Kei landed in the dense forest, watching Rasa and Pakura disappear into the distance.

Rasa's limbs had three of them completely blasted into bloody mist.

With the Sand Village's current medical technology.

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

But limb regeneration or limb transplantation is something they won't be able to do even in ten years.

Losing both legs and his left arm.

Unable to move quickly, and his hand seals are greatly restricted.

Even if Rasa later attaches puppet prosthetics, his strength will diminish by seventy or eighty percent, and he will no longer have the possibility of ascending to the position of Kazekage.

He can only transform into a heartless mining machine, constantly panning for gold in the desert to provide financial support for the Sand Village.

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

Yamanaka Kei stroked his chin, recalling the Sand Village's human puppet modification technology.

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

Perhaps there really might be a chance to achieve a comeback and regain the position of Kazekage.

Uh......

Should I chase after them and completely eliminate him?

[Ding~ Greatly altering the fate trajectory of a major supporting character in the side storyline, the development process of the world line has shifted, obtaining: Keyword Extraction Opportunity × 2, Randomly Associated Keyword Extraction Opportunity × 1, Keyword Granting Opportunity × 1.]

The familiar system notification sound rang out.

Accompanying it was the power of fate attracted by the blue keyword [Fate Weaver].

Yamanaka Kei felt the power of luck on his body increase slightly again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since Rasa's fate has already changed.

That also means that he truly has no chance to ascend to the position of Kazekage.

As for whether he will undergo human puppet modification.

Does that matter?

The upper limit of a human puppet is right there.

At best, it's just the difference between a heartless mining machine and a highly efficient heartless mining machine.

Yamanaka Kei can easily disassemble him into a pile of parts.

"A major supporting character in the side storyline?"

Looking back at the system notification just now.

Yamanaka Kei's eyes flickered slightly, staring intently at the 'Randomly Associated Keyword Extraction Opportunity' in the middle.

Randomly Associated Keyword Extraction Opportunity: Among the keywords already activated by the host, randomly select one keyword, and the extracted keyword must be related to that keyword.

[Randomly associated keyword 'Natural Sage Body', congratulations to the host for obtaining the purple keyword 'Sage Spirit Enhancement'.]

Sage Spirit Enhancement (Purple): Nurturing the spirit with nature, calming the mind and cultivating the spirit, nearly perfectly mastering the sage techniques most suitable for human cultivation from the ancient temple inheritance, the spirit and soul begin to undergo transformation, mental strength, mental resilience, mental resistance, mental upper limit, and perception ability are greatly enhanced; natural energy affinity, sage technique control, release speed, and release effect are enhanced; temperament, will, and belief are enhanced.

!!!!!!

Yamanaka Kei's eyes suddenly lit up.

It directly associated with a red keyword and extracted a purple one.

The key is......

This thing seems to be the missing piece of the [Natural Sage Body] that he had sensed before!

"System, activate [Sage Spirit Enhancement]!"

Yamanaka Kei pursed his lips, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

A large amount of memories of cultivating sage techniques flooded into his mind.

Calming the mind and spirit, visualizing the spirit traveling, gathering the natural energy of the universe to temper the spirit and refine the soul!

The memories of previously practicing the Natural Sage Body now corroborated each other with the memories that flooded into his mind.

Through analogy.

The memories that had just flooded into his mind gained many different insights.

[Detected that the red keyword 'Natural Sage Body' can be fused with the purple keyword 'Yin Release Master', the purple keyword 'Grave Healer', is fusion enabled?]

"Hmm? Fuse!"

Although Yamanaka Kei was surprised by the matter of [Yin Release Master] and [Grave Healer], he still didn't hesitate in the slightest.

All the memories related to cultivating sage techniques began to flash rapidly through his mind.

The natural energy within a few kilometers radius was also attracted by the aura on his body, swarming towards him.

The original sky-blue sage chakra light began to merge with the gray-black color of Yin Release, the emerald-green color of Yang Release, and the brilliant golden color of Sage Spirit Enhancement.

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

Deep, dark, and faintly flashing with colorful halos, the pitch-black energy enveloped Yamanaka Kei's body.

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

Between the black and white conversion.

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

The surging and profound mental power also began to be compressed and refined by the sage energy.

"Humph~"

Yamanaka Kei let out a suppressed muffled groan.

He only felt that his soul was as if soaking in a hot spring, conveying a sense of comfort and transparency that made people feel like immortals.

With a thought, he could clearly see every meridian, every bone, every strand of flesh......

Different from the simulated image feedback from the experience and feeling when fusing [Zero-Frame Startup] before.

This time, it was a true introspection!

[Fusion completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining the golden keyword 'Yin-Yang Sage Master'.]

Yin-Yang Sage Master (Gold): Fusing the sage technique inheritance of multiple schools, forging the tendons, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, and soul to be flawless chosen immortals, understanding the changes of Yin and Yang, mastering the opportunity of nature, the efficiency of learning, researching, improving, and creating Yin-Yang sage techniques is maximized; Yin-Yang sage technique control, Yin-Yang sage technique effect, body recovery, sage technique resistance, and natural energy affinity are maximized; constant Sage Mode, when in this mode, all qualities are comprehensively and greatly enhanced; after injury recovery, all qualities are comprehensively enhanced.

The system notification sound rang out.

The strange feeling on Yamanaka Kei's body gradually faded away, and he waved his hand to condense a water mirror in front of him.

Looking at the figure in the mirror with a pair of pitch-black dragon horns and a deep black glow all over his body, guarded in the center by black dragons condensed from sage energy, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This image......

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good person!

With a thought, the original pitch-black sage energy turned into dazzling pure white.

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

This......

A little white dragon?

Looking at the detailed explanation of the golden keyword [Yin-Yang Sage Master].

Again feeling the various complex information in his mind that was gradually being sorted out.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yamanaka Kei's mouth.

[Yin Release Master] and [Grave Healer] have both been integrated into the new keyword, and his control over ordinary Yin Release and Yang Release has also risen accordingly.

Moreover, the special effects attached to the original [Grave Healer] keyword have not disappeared.

Instead, they have become several additional special Yang Release sage techniques that he can perfectly control and use at will!

This is still a change that can be directly seen in the system prompts and memory infusion.

Other invisible benefits are also countless.

Under his constantly improving mental strength, the red keyword [Transmigrator], which had gradually become somewhat weak, began to slowly increase and enhance his mental strength, which had been reduced by more than half after being refined and washed.

The power of [Wood Release Jinchuriki] is closely related to sage techniques and Yang Release, even without prompts, it can be foreseen that its power must have increased again!

"A special path?"

Yamanaka Kei felt the power surging in his body and clenched his fist slightly.

Different from before, when it was necessary to combine natural energy, mental energy, and physical energy to fuse sage chakra in order to enter Sage Mode and use sage techniques.

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

He can freely absorb the energy between heaven and earth and simply use them to perform Yin-Yang sage techniques!

Such power......

Otsutsuki Star Destroyer?
