Chapter 201: Experiments and the Moon Landing

"Whoa!"

Rock Lee, sent flying backward, spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief—the power of this kick from Uzumaki Naruto was at least five or six times stronger than just a moment ago; if converted into the Eight Inner Gates, it was roughly equivalent to the level of opening the sixth gate!

With a boom, Rock Lee, sent flying, crashed into a large tree, knocking it straight over, then fell to the ground; he struggled for a long time before finally climbing back up:

"Is this... a Secret Technique the same as the Eight Inner Gates? I never expected this~ Naruto, you must have undergone quite a lot of grueling training too!"

Uzumaki Naruto exhaled a long breath of white mist, and after hearing Rock Lee's words, he scratched his head:

"Is that so... I don't seem to remember training that hard for very long... uh, have I really practiced? I don't remember very clearly!"

"Forget it, let's not talk so much! Do you still want to continue fighting me? I feel like I'm ten times stronger than before right now!"

The physical improvement brought by Boiling Blood is about three or four times, but three or four times the physical stats does not mean one can only fight three or four of oneself; the current Uzumaki Naruto would have no problem fighting even 20 of his former self.

"Ugh..."

A hesitant expression appeared on Rock Lee's face; at this moment, the weights on his legs and arms had not been removed, and he had not used the Eight Inner Gates technique either. It could be said that he hadn't even unleashed half of his Power Level in the fight just now.

However, after taking a kick from Uzumaki Naruto, Rock Lee could feel that at least three of his ribs were broken, and his internal organs had also suffered some damage; continuing to fight now would only make his injuries even more severe.

'If I remove the weights, I could become a bit stronger, but because of the drag from my injuries, I'm afraid I would only be a little stronger than just now; it's impossible to be Naruto's opponent.'

'Should I use the Eight Inner Gates? But Naruto is not an enemy... and using the Eight Inner Gates in such a severely injured state would place a huge burden on my body; perhaps just opening the first gate would be more than my body could handle.'

And just at this moment, Hyuga Neji nearby had already slapped Sasuke Uchiha on the chest, knocking him to the ground vomiting blood, winning the bet.

He turned his head to look at the battlefield here, the corners of his mouth curling slightly into a smile that vanished in an instant, and then he said coldly:

"Rock Lee, you were careless!"

"Ahhh, I know... as expected, my youth still needs tempering!"

"Naruto, you won this time, but after my injuries heal, I will fight you again."

Rock Lee, feeling low and somewhat dispirited, said a few words, then indicated his surrender to the Chunin present.

Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto's face immediately broke into a smile; his rapidly beating heart returned to its original rhythm, white steam rose from his entire body, and after a moment, he returned to his original state.

Looking at the expression on his face, he just had a bit more sweat on his body and his breathing was slightly rapid, but no subtle damage could be seen; he even retained quite a bit of stamina, looking lively and energetic, and even had the heart to mock Sasuke, who was lying on the ground.

Hyuga Neji, who had the keenest observation skills, narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly surprised in his heart:

"What a terrifying physique, what brilliant technique! Even with Guy-sensei's Eight Inner Gates, given Uzumaki Naruto's basic skills, he would have to open the sixth gate to erupt with this level of strength."

And the Eight Inner Gates, as long as it is opened beyond the third gate, will cause damage to oneself, but the vast majority of the damage is very subtle and generally not easy to see.

"However, there is no damage on this Uzumaki Naruto, only a slightly larger consumption of stamina... Is it an explosive technique more brilliant than the Eight Inner Gates? It might also have something to do with his Uzumaki Clan physique."

Sasuke Uchiha, lying on the ground, looked at Uzumaki Naruto, his heart filled with unwillingness; what exactly is going on? He had continuously broken through himself in the battle and directly opened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, yet in the end, he was actually inferior to Uzumaki Naruto?

One must know that in the past, although he and Uzumaki Naruto were both geniuses at the Ninja Academy, he had always suppressed that guy with a slight advantage; how could he have lost this time even after opening the Sharingan?

What exactly was that mode where his whole body turned red and his strength surged? Was it a trump card that Uzumaki Naruto had been keeping all along? Damn it, this guy wasn't serious at all when he sparred with him in the past!

Not mentioning Uzumaki Naruto, who had gained new skills and developed a Bloodline Limit, and Sasuke Uchiha, Uchiha Feiyu, who had also experimented with his own abilities, also had a smile on his face.

"People controlled by my inner demon can also use my abilities... but to a certain extent, there must be a basic condition for using this ability."

For example, the so-called Boiling Blood Method is, to put it bluntly, stimulating the heart to accelerate blood circulation; for Uzumaki Naruto, as long as his physical conditions are met, he can ignore all technical aspects and use it directly.

But if it were some other higher-level skills that require the use of Dharma Power, Uzumaki Naruto would not be able to use them, unless Uchiha Feiyu truly refined him completely into his own puppet clone; in that case, he could remotely provide his own Dharma Power to him.

The reason for using the Heavenly Demon Secret to strengthen Naruto was to conduct experiments for Uchiha Feiyu's subsequent actions.

Now the entire Ninja World has gotten on the right track; the next time he wants to continue harvesting, it will take about ten years.

Otherwise, he would only be able to take action against ordinary civilians, and Uchiha Feiyu would not cross the bottom line he set for himself before there was an urgent life-threatening danger.

Therefore, Uchiha Feiyu's next target is aimed at other worlds—through the ability of the Night God Origin, coupled with the characteristic of the Heavenly Demon Secret known for traversing the worlds, Uchiha Feiyu can indeed enter some places that are like cracks in space and time to infiltrate other worlds.

It is just that the Night God Origin is, to put it bluntly, closer to sleepwalking; he can only go to other worlds as a thought-form that cannot interfere with anything, and each world observed is different, and the time is very short.

And if the Heavenly Demon Secret is cultivated to completion, Uchiha Feiyu's Soul can naturally transform into a Heavenly Demon body to go to other worlds, but with his "Nascent Soul Realm" cultivation, he simply has no way to roam the heavens.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Secret cultivation method, combined with the Dojutsu of the Night God Origin, allows him to infiltrate other worlds in a way that is almost like an inner demon, stirring up trouble.

So now Uchiha Feiyu wants to understand his own abilities and know what kind of capabilities the inner demon state has.

The results obtained are not perfect, but they are not too bad either; perhaps it is difficult to crush other worlds with himself at his peak, but at least it is enough to interfere.

Moreover, Uchiha Feiyu has other ways to channel his power over; as long as he can use the inner demon to control others with certainty, he doesn't need to worry about certain problems.

After experiencing the Fourth Shinobi World War, the current Ninja World is in a depression; several Ninja Villages are recuperating, and various countries are also replenishing their armaments.

However, ordinary civilians have not been affected too much; the scale of direct casualties in this battle can be called the greatest in the Ninja World War, but the time and scope of the battle were actually the smallest among the Ninja World Wars.

Except for the Land of Rain, ordinary civilians in other countries have basically not been affected too much; on the contrary, stimulated by technology and war, economic development has been even faster.

The number of missions and rewards received by Ninja Villages have increased rather than decreased compared to before the war, while the number of ninja has been significantly reduced; the major Ninja Villages are busy running around, and once the ninja are busy and have no energy to do other things, the whole world has instead become peaceful.

The Konoha 12, who shone brightly in the original timeline, now have to obediently execute those construction missions; it is estimated that they won't have time to hold any Chunin exams for a year or two.

And just when the Ninja World was peaceful, Uchiha Feiyu had already begun to clear hidden dangers for his journey to other worlds.

Sitting quietly on the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Feiyu's entire mind was infinitely emptied; a moment later, a faint fluctuation radiated from the top of his head.

The target of that invisible fluctuation was extremely clear: it was the bright moon in the sky; following the pure white moonlight, the strange fluctuation exerted the effect of the speed of light and penetrated into the full moon in the sky.

Surrounded by the pure white moonlight, Uchiha Feiyu's thought penetrated the surface of the Moon and entered a space the size of a small town.

"This is the space hidden by the Otsutsuki Clan on the Moon... Found it! The only living person!"

Although it was only a thought incarnation, Uchiha Feiyu's investigative ability was many times stronger than before; in an instant, the fluctuation flashed and had already entered the mind of this only living person on the Moon.

In an instant, all the memories of this last descendant of the Otsutsuki on the Moon, from birth to the present, were laid out before Uchiha Feiyu; Uchiha Feiyu took a few glances and found that his life experience was unremarkable, and there were basically no major fluctuations.

This final descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki on the Moon was named Otsutsuki Toneri; he had not left the Moon a few times in his life, and from childhood to adulthood, he had been instilled with crazy ideas by his father.

Although the Otsutsuki on the Moon have the name of Otsutsuki, they are not the true pure-blooded Otsutsuki Clan, but descendants specifically left behind by Hamura Otsutsuki, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, to monitor the seal of Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Of course, Hamura Otsutsuki did not treat his descendants poorly; although these people lived on the Moon far away from the Ninja World and were theoretically keeping their great-grandmother company in prison, in reality, relying on the small space left by their ancestor, their lives were actually quite good.

Uchiha Feiyu's thought sensed the surroundings; the Moon of the Ninja World was created by the brothers of the Sage of Six Paths using Chibaku Tensei, which is of course much smaller than the real Moon, but no matter how small it is, it is still a planetary celestial body, and the space opened inside the Moon also has a size of thousands of square kilometers.

With the carrying capacity of this space, it can at least support tens of thousands of people living here, and coupled with the communication channel between the Moon and the surface, it can be completely called a Peach Blossom Spring.

It is just a pity that in the original work, the Otsutsuki on the Moon perhaps engaged in too much inbreeding, leading to a level of mental insanity that was in no way inferior to the Uchiha Clan; just because of different interpretations of the mission left behind by their ancestors, the Main Branch and Branch Family on both sides directly slaughtered each other until they were nearly wiped out.

The disagreement between the two sides lay in the fact that a group of people had been stuck on the Moon for so long they had become foolish, only able to watch the development of the Ninja World on the ground—as a result, because the ninja of the Ninja World often slaughtered each other, these Otsutsuki on the Moon were greatly disappointed.

Therefore, some Otsutsuki felt that they should directly exterminate humanity and create a new world, while other Otsutsuki felt that they should guide the humans on Earth toward peace.

For this reason, the two sides fought a great battle, and in the end, only the blind Otsutsuki Toneri remained, while everyone else had perished together.

How should I put it... this matter is quite abstract—where on earth did this bunch of "specialist experts" get the confidence to think they were more morally noble than the ninja on Earth? No matter how chaotic the wars were for those people, they never reached the point of bringing about their own self-extermination!

After complaining a few words about this bunch of abstract Otsutsuki "specialist experts" on the Moon, Uchiha Feiyu continued to look through the memories of Otsutsuki Toneri.

Although the brains of this bunch of Otsutsuki on the Moon were never very good, the things they left behind were truly numerous; the Tenseigan, condensed from a large number of Byakugan, was a very good item even for Uchiha Feiyu.

Among the inheritances he had obtained, most required the use of human bodies as materials, and among them, there was no lack of divine abilities and magical artifacts that used eyes as materials for cultivation.

"Hundred Eyes Golden Light Art, Heavenly Eye Evil Banner, and there is also a Thousand-Eye Glazed Bead... there are quite a lot of uses for these eyes."

"Hmm... it is better to refine this thing into a magical artifact! Directly refine this thing into my body,"

"Besides this, the most precious thing on this Moon should be that Otsutsuki Kaguya!"

The current Otsutsuki Kaguya is sealed within the Moon, without any ability to resist; it is the perfect opportunity to control her!

The thoughts that had infiltrated the heart of Otsutsuki Toneri began to gradually spread, devouring and assimilating the mind of Otsutsuki Toneri.

This last remnant of the Moon Otsutsuki was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and before he had replaced his eyes with Byakugan, he was no stronger than Sasuke Uchiha or Uzumaki Naruto.

Because he had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, his mental defenses were even lower; in just a brief moment, the thoughts of Uchiha Feiyu took control of this guy.

Regarding this one, Uchiha Feiyu's actions were not as careful as they had been with Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha; as he took control of all the mental thoughts of Otsutsuki Toneri, Uchiha Feiyu immediately transformed into a heart demon and directly harvested his Soul entirely.

The pitiful Otsutsuki Toneri only had time to let out a scream in his mental world before his soul had completely scattered.
