Chapter 107

"Half a month has already passed; do you think Lord Ishihara's cultivation has finished?"

Jugo nodded affirmatively. "That is certain; there is nothing Lord Ishihara sets his mind to that he cannot achieve!"

Suigetsu's mouth twitched, and he said in a somewhat frantic tone: "But those are transformations of five different chakra natures!"

Orochimaru, who was nearby, suddenly stopped his cultivation and lay down on the ground.

Kabuto Yakushi and the others were somewhat surprised.

They knew well how diligent Orochimaru was; even they admired him immensely, yet now he had actually stopped to rest.

"Lord Orochimaru, what is wrong with you?"

Kabuto Yakushi stepped forward worriedly and asked; he felt a sense of closeness toward Orochimaru, so he cared for him very much.

Orochimaru sighed, looked at Kabuto Yakushi, Suigetsu, and the others, and his expression was somewhat desolate.

"Do you know? From the moment I began cultivating until I mastered the nature transformations and shape transformations of five chakra natures, it took nearly thirty years!"

"But Ishihara did it in just one month!"

"Heh heh, thirty years versus one month..."

Orochimaru muttered to himself with a face full of despair.

Hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi and the others didn't quite know what to say.

Even they, merely listening, felt a bit of despair.

This gap was too large; it made one utterly unable to summon the courage to catch up, and even caused a loss of interest in cultivation itself.

The few exchanged glances, then lay down beside Orochimaru.

Despairing youth +5!

Ishihara did not know about Orochimaru's situation.

Recently, his cultivation had been proceeding in a tight and urgent manner, with not a single moment of time to waste.

Although cultivating simultaneously with one hundred shadow clones could accelerate the process, the burden it brought left him with no energy or time to handle other matters.

Only after completing the basic cultivation of chakra did he go to check the intelligence left behind by Mei Terumi.

He did not look at the specific process; he looked directly at the results.

Yagura temporarily retained the position of Mizukage to stabilize the situation in the Hidden Mist Village.

At the same time, Mei Terumi assumed the role of Mizukage's Assistant!

The powers of the Mizukage possessed by Yagura were largely carved up, almost completely hollowed out.

Not only that, but he also had to deal with the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, who was on the verge of losing control!

Mei Terumi needed to remain in the village to handle affairs.

Thus, the Hidden Mist Village was temporarily stabilized!

After reading it, Ishihara resumed his cultivation once more.

This time, what he was going to cultivate was a Kekkei Genkai!

For him, the one who created these secret techniques, once he mastered the basic transformations of chakra, mastering a Kekkei Genkai was instead incredibly simple.

"Lava Release!"

Ishihara extended his palm, condensed chakra into his palm, and then began the transformation of the Kekkei Genkai.

Instantly, the chakra in his hand turned into the liquid form of Lava Release.

Lava Release was mastered so simply!

Then came Boil Release!

Ice Release!

There was not the slightest difficulty!

These three Kekkei Genkai were mastered by him so easily.

Hiss!!!

Suddenly, a sound of gasping in shock came through.

Ishihara frowned, turned his head to look, and immediately saw Orochimaru and the others with their eyes wide open in shock.

"Teacher, why have you come?"

Orochimaru and the others looked at him with their whole bodies stiff, then stiffly turned around and left; the entire process was carried out without a single word spoken.

"It's just a Kekkei Genkai; it's understandable that Ishihara developed and mastered it quickly."

"Yes, things like Ice Release, one can be born with them during the day."

"It's only three Kekkei Genkai; there's no need to be surprised."

Hearing the strange murmurs of the few, Ishihara shook his head.

They must have cultivated themselves into stupidity.

"The cultivation can finally be considered concluded!"

Ishihara let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his entire body become light and easy.

Afterwards, he gradually became excited.

Because next, he was going to start a new research project.

It was also a Kekkei Genkai he would use to strengthen his power in the future.

Wood Release!!

Ishihara hurriedly walked into the newly constructed building nearby.

This was a temporary base built by Orochimaru over the past month, and the equipment inside was complete.

Arriving at the laboratory and feeling the long-lost atmosphere, Ishihara couldn't help but feel a little excited; he hurriedly took out Obito's severed hand and began his research.

First, microscopic observation at the cellular level was conducted.

"Although this is merely body tissue cultured from the First Hokage's cells, the cell vitality and the content of life energy far exceed those of ordinary ninja cells."

"Moreover, just like the Water Transformation Secret Technique, these cells also carry a sensation of being eroded by Wood Release!"

"There is also a massive amount of Yang Release chakra, so clear that it requires no effort to perceive; no wonder the life energy is so dense..."

As piece after piece of data was recorded.

The secrets within the White Zetsu's cells were gradually uncovered by Ishihara.

Until finally, with no new discoveries made, Ishihara began the second step.

"Life Chain!"

Swish!

Ishihara's chakra was injected into Obito's severed arm!
