Chapter 153: Change of Cultivation Goal

Walking out of Orochimaru's Root Base, a girl with blue hair followed behind Uchiha Feiyu.

The girl had a confused look on her face and her eyes looked like she was about to cry. She was the former reincarnation vessel "given" by Orochimaru to Uchiha Toba, and a ninja named Guren who possessed the Crystal Style Bloodline Limit.

Although Orochimaru's personal appearance is not very good and his temperament tends to be somewhat cold and murderous, always giving people the feeling of a cold-blooded animal, it has to be admitted that he is very good at abducting and brainwashing those orphans.

If Danzo had Orochimaru's brainwashing and bewitching abilities, he wouldn't even need to use curse seals to control the Root ninjas.

Orochimaru's vessel, the Crystal Release Ninja Guren, was naturally also bewitched by Orochimaru. Her greatest wish all along was to dedicate her body to Orochimaru.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a dedication in that sense, but rather, it's being directly taken over by Orochimaru as a vessel!

As a result, in order to get more funds, soul pills, and unknown knowledge from Uchiha Feiyu, Orochimaru simply gave this fanatic away.

To Honglian, this was naturally a devastating blow. She felt terrible for a moment, so naturally, she couldn't have a good expression on her face.

However, Uchiha Feiyu was too lazy to pay attention to her. He had played with too many beauties now. Although the little beauty behind him was of high quality and even had the potential to become a Kage-level ninja, she was just an ordinary plaything to him.

The price that Uchiha Feiyu paid in exchange for this little beauty was nothing more than some of his own cells and asking Orochimaru to help with a physical examination.

Today, Uchiha Feiyu's sage body has been fully developed. To a certain extent, his body cells can even be compared with Senju Hashirama's Wood Release cells, so they are naturally precious materials.

Anyway, Uchiha Feiyu is making progress all the time. He believes that even if he gave his cells to Orochimaru, Orochimaru would not be able to research something that could surpass his own. Just like even if he studied Wood Release cells until death, he would not be able to defeat Senju Hashirama.

What really made Uchiha Feiyu consider now was the conclusion that Orochimaru had just drawn after examining his physical materials.

"My body has reached the limit of flesh and blood life... and is beginning to show signs of energy transformation? This should be a precursor to the transformation of the Otsutsuki clan!"

The Otsutsuki clan are almost all energy life forms. This can be seen from the fact that Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was only left with half of his body but was still alive, Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was sealed on the moon for thousands of years but is still alive and well, and Six Paths Madara, who was kicked in the body by Emperor Kai but recovered in the blink of an eye.

But... to be honest, Uchiha Feiyu still has a lot of doubts about whether he should evolve towards the Otsutsuki path.

In the world of Naruto, the pure-blooded Otsutsuki is naturally the ceiling, with an energy body, immortality, huge chakra, and a natural disaster-level ninjutsu that is like a natural divine power...

With this kind of strength, it would be no problem to call them gods in some weak worlds, and according to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the Otsutsuki clan has an even stronger evolutionary mode.

For example, Otsutsuki Shibaai, the legendary God of Otsutsuki, is the final form evolved by the Otsutsuki clan after devouring countless planetary fruits. It is said that he has left the material world and entered a higher dimension.

But in the final analysis, Uchiha Feiyu still felt that the limits of these Otsutsuki were too low. Even the so-called Otsutsuki God, whether he had entered a higher dimension or could not withstand the energy in his body and naturally disintegrated, there was no conclusion yet!

Even if he really entered a higher dimension, looking at the situation, he would probably become some kind of conceptual god. Although Uchiha Feiyu yearned for powerful strength, if he were to cultivate himself into some kind of conceptual thing and even lose his own form, he would still respectfully decline.

Of course, the most important thing is that Uchiha Feiyu has the book of magic inheritance in his hands. He is confident that even if he does not evolve along the path of the Otsutsuki, he will still be able to successfully surpass these Otsutsuki and even the entire ninja world in the future.

Otherwise, if he was really a native of the ninja world, why would he be so picky? He would have learned from Orochimaru and tried every way to make himself closer to the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.

"The upper limit of the Demonic Path inheritance book is undoubtedly far beyond that of the Otsutsuki clan. Not to mention other things, the fact that I was able to obtain the secret method of the Heaven Devouring Demon Art shows that at least the entire Heaven Devouring Demon Art is in it."

No matter how much you overestimate the Otsutsuki clan in the Naruto world, they will definitely not be able to defeat the emperor in the world of Shrouding the Sky. Not to mention the emperor, it is estimated that any random saint can destroy the entire Otsutsuki clan.

Apart from the aspect of lifespan, the Otsutsuki clan really has nothing that can compare to those of the Zhatian people. Not to mention the upper limits of both sides, even if they are at the same energy level, the chakra system is far inferior to the secret realm method of Zhatian who uses his body as a seed.

Of course, the chakra system is not without advantages. Its biggest advantage is that it is very easy to practice!
There is no need to practice at all. Things like planting trees and eating fruits are something that anyone can do, and they can easily gain powerful strength. This is much easier than the Zhatian Fa, which requires one to fight or be struck by lightning, and live and die all day long.

"But the book of the devil's inheritance must contain more than just the Heaven-Covering Method. There's a good chance that the popular cannibalism schools like the Yangshen World and the Eternal Life World also have inheritance in them."

"Compared to the group of fierce men in Zhantian, the cannibalism described by Shen Ji is much easier to cultivate. As long as there are enough resources and population, and the mentality is ruthless enough, even a pig can cultivate to that level!"

"If the Demonic Path inheritance book is a little more powerful, and there are some inheritances like the Primordial World and the Supreme One, then the upper limit is unimaginable... In comparison, the Chakra system is a little bit inferior."

Uchiha Feiyu has never changed his chakra system, simply because he knows very well that this most basic training system should also consume the most energy!

Moreover, Uchiha Feiyu may not be able to successfully practice some cultivation systems.

If you want to practice the Yang God cultivation method of the human immortal world, you first need acupoints and thunder tribulation. If you want to practice the secret realm method of the world of covering the sky, you must first find the Emperor of Desolate Heaven to leave you the secret realm seed.

If you want to practice the Genetic Lock in Infinite Horror, you must first find "Gu" to add a setting for you...

It is precisely because of this consideration that Uchiha Feiyu must use precise sacrifices to obtain the foundation method that suits his heart. Otherwise, after finally coming up with a powerful practice method, he will find out in the end that he does not meet the conditions for practice at all. Uchiha Feiyu will probably be angry to death.

"But anyway, since I'm not going to follow the path of the Otsutsuki clan, I can't continue to absorb chakra. Otherwise, I estimate that it won't be long before my body starts to completely turn into energy."

There is nothing mysterious about the chakra system. It simply utilizes a large amount of chakra to create a qualitative change. Ordinary ninjas may have a limit to their tolerance, but Uchiha Feiyu, who has already absorbed the Outer Path Demon Statue and is essentially the human incarnation of the Divine Tree, does not need to consider so much.

According to Uchiha Feiyu's estimation, he has now reached a certain critical point. If he continues to absorb like this, he will probably be transformed into an energy body within a year or two.

By that time, even if he wanted to make changes, the path he could take would become narrower. After all, even the so-called magic skills were mostly for practicing with flesh and blood, and the number of magic skills that could transform energy bodies was extremely rare.

Moreover, the energy body is not as durable as the flesh and blood body. If there is any energy conflict during the transformation of the flesh and blood body, the person may just spit out some blood and recuperate for a few days. But if there is an energy conflict during the transformation of the energy body, the person may explode into a big firework!
Of course, not absorbing chakra does not mean that the chakra is useless. Chakra is something that is both mediocre and omnipotent. Its biggest advantage is that it can be transformed and absorbed at will. It can be said to be a special energy for leeks.

Even if Uchiha Feiyu changed his training system in the future, he could still absorb chakra and transform it into energy such as true energy and mana to improve his own skills, so there would be no problem of wasting anything.

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly three years have passed.

In three years, the entire Naruto world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The biggest change is that more and more people possess chakra.

For example, in the Fire Nation, where the universal chakra policy is implemented the best, basically one in ten people has chakra. Even if that little chakra makes it difficult to use a transformation technique, it is still beyond the range of normal people.

In addition, the Wind Kingdom and the Water Kingdom are also constantly implementing this policy, but because the economic conditions of the two countries are poor and there are many illiterate people, the chakra ownership rate is far lower than that of Konoha. About one out of fifteen or sixteen people has chakra.

As for the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, their development speed was far slower than that of the other three countries. After all, Uchiha Feiyu did not use illusions to control them. The fighting among the ninja villages, daimyo, and nobles alone delayed a lot of time.

At the beginning, the two major countries threatened with war, trying to force other countries to stop such strategies. Unfortunately, the top leaders of the three countries were all controlled by Uchiha Feiyu, who was determined to implement the national chakra policy and was not afraid of a war at all.

In this situation, the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth finally backed down - there was no other way. Even those stubborn stone-headed people in the Iwagakure and those violent barbarians in the Cloud Village knew that they could not defeat the combined forces of the three countries on their own.

Not to mention the three countries joining forces, even if it comes to Konoha alone, even if the two countries of Raito and Tou join forces they may not be able to win. If the Mist and Sand Ninjas are added, they will definitely end up losing miserably.

Moreover, with the implementation of the policy of chakra cultivation for all the people, there will inevitably be more and more strong people in the three opposing countries. The biggest advantage of the chakra system is that it can be learned quickly. As long as the qualifications are good, an adult can develop good combat effectiveness even after only one or two years of training.

After all, chakra is not like internal energy. It does not depend on the number of years of practice. How much chakra you can extract from your body is how much chakra you have. It does not mean that if you have practiced chakra for 20 years, the amount of chakra will exceed that of others who have practiced for one or two years.

Therefore, these one or two years are not used to practice chakra refining techniques, but to practice ninjutsu and taijutsu. As long as the aptitude is good enough, an adult can become a good combat force in one or two years.

Even among ordinary civilians, those with good qualifications are one in a thousand. The Fire Country with a population of hundreds of millions can produce an army of hundreds of thousands of ninjas. Then the Thunder and Earth Countries will have no choice but to fight!

Finally, after nearly two years of struggle, seeing that the three major countries continued to do as they pleased and even the chakra practice method had spread and could not be stopped at all, the Lei and Tu countries could only follow suit with curses, so as to avoid being left behind in strength.

These two countries started late, and when implementing strategies, they were not united, and there were often some people who hindered their efforts. Even now, the national chakra policy has only made a start, and the chakra possession rate of ordinary civilians is less than one percent.

But no matter what, the policy of universal chakra practice has taken root. Even if the monarchs and shadows of several major countries want to abolish it, they can't do it in the face of the spreading chakra refining method.

The spread of chakra refining methods has resulted in social chaos. After all, even if one can only refine chakra to the level of a ninja trainee and add it to the body, it is enough to make an ordinary person become a powerful general in a historical novel, and it is no problem for one person to fight dozens of people.

When a person suddenly gains powerful strength, he will naturally feel dizzy and do things that he would not dare to do in normal times. There are quite a few civilians who practice chakra refining techniques and start doing all kinds of evil after gaining a little strength.

Of course, these civilians who were dazzled by power eventually became nourishment for the Hunyuan Treasure Box.

With only chakra but no ninjutsu, any Genin can kill seven or eight of these fake ninjas. Soon the ninjas of the ninja village told these civilians who had obtained chakra that your father is still your father.

Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, had chakra several times stronger than Kakashi when he just graduated. But in a one-on-one fight, Kakashi would have no problem beating 100 newly graduated Narutos. It is obvious that having chakra but no ninjutsu and combat experience is just a sandbag with more strength.

However, now the three countries including the Fire Nation have passed the painful period, because more and more civilians possess chakras, and no civilians think that they are invincible just because they have awakened their chakras - maybe you just want to have a free meal, but you will be beaten up by a restaurant owner who has also awakened his chakras!
