"68%? It actually increased that much?"
Looking at his panel, Takemi was a little surprised himself.
For three years, he had been training, and while he did some side missions, they were all minor.
Without exclusive missions or anything special, his progress was indeed not fast.
Although he strengthened himself in other areas, such as his understanding and study of Yin Release and Yang Release.
For example, he thoroughly researched the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, and also learned Kekkei genkais, even attempting to develop a Kekkei Mora.
These brought a huge increase to his immediate combat power, but there was not much actual bloodline development.
"But it's better now. The absorption of the god tree source is truly exaggerated, but…"
Raising his head, looking at the giant tree that could only be described as 'shrouding the sky and sun,' Takemi finally nodded.
The benefits this thing brought him were considerable.
"The special power of the Tailed Beast?"
Pondering, a special power instantly emerged from his body.
The golden Chakra spread throughout his body, making him look exactly like Naruto in his future Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
At the same time, he raised his hand, and in an instant, Chakra orbs appeared in his hand.
One orb glowed with a blue-black luster, another was a mix of white and black, and the other Chakras were also of various colors.
These were all condensations of Tailed Beast power. At this moment, he seemed to be able to fully use these powers with Tailed Beast characteristics.
"Not bad. In the future, I'll have more attack methods to use when I 'switch characters'."
Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki's body had somewhat limited attack methods, and he really couldn't do much about it.
The strength was fine, but it was repeatedly Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
Even if he had Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, that jutsu was his trump card, and he needed to fill in with other methods.
And now, the emergence of these Tailed Beast powers allowed him to have more attack methods, and even more special effects. This point made him very satisfied.
"Besides these, the power and control of my ocular jutsu have also significantly improved."
Clenching his fist slightly, his eyes transformed into a blue stream of light. Almost instantly, everything around him began to distort.
The yellow sand on the ground began to flow strangely, seemingly detached from normal gravity, and the directions of up, down, left, and right also began to constantly invert.
Moreover, as Takemi continuously increased the power, they seemed to feel a special gravitational pull.
Almost instantly, they spread out grain by grain, smoothly and neatly, in front of Takemi.
"Very good…"
Such a degree of control made Takemi smile.
"Although the range isn't large, as long as the distance is close, then…"
Even a true Ōtsutsuki, if they weren't careful and encountered this, it would be a dead end.
The improvement brought by the 'god tree source' was gratifying, and the improvement brought by 'Bloodline Development' was not weak at all.
In addition to his basic abilities as an 'Ōtsutsuki' constantly strengthening, the Chakra his bones absorbed seemed to begin to slow down.
"It's just, has this ability not 'hatched' Kekkei Mora?"
Takemi was a bit hesitant about this, but no matter what, even if it didn't reach the level of All-Killing Ash Bones, at this stage, his bones, combined with his Ōtsutsuki foundation, had already reached an exaggerated level of physical strength.
He finally understood why Jigen, after activating Karma, could kick and shatter Susanoo.
Because the physical strength of an Ōtsutsuki was too terrifying.
"I'll find a chance to test it on Madara later, and then on Itachi."
Takemi looked up at the giant tree, a huge flower bud seemingly waiting to bloom, feeling it continuously absorbing power.
And feeling its resonance with the eye in his forehead, Takemi suddenly had a thought.
"Does that mean if I want to in the future, I can use Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
"But next, I need to focus my energy on the Kekkei Mora…"
"And those Ōtsutsukis!"
Late at night, the moonlight was enchanting.
"Finally looking for the Uchiha's stone tablet?"
Inside Konoha, Black Zetsu secretly poked his head out, observing Konoha's movements.
Noticing that someone from the Uchiha clan was searching for something, he breathed a sigh of relief.
For three years, he had sent Takemi many things, just to guide Takemi and make him stronger.
But he…
"He learned a lot, but he rarely went exploring. Are you waiting for me to put the answer in front of you?!"
Black Zetsu was a bit exasperated, but he had no choice. He could only continue to figure out how to keep guiding Takemi.
Now that someone was searching, especially in the Naka Shrine area, he was happy.
"But why isn't he going himself? Wouldn't it be better to keep such a secret to himself?"
Black Zetsu couldn't understand what Takemi was thinking, but he was too lazy to bother.
After all, they had at least gone and given him a little hope.
"So, next, I should find a way for him to find the Senju clan's things."
Black Zetsu muttered to himself, and as he thought, he slowly disappeared into the ground and headed towards the Hyuga clan.
Besides checking on the things he had prepared and Takemi's situation, he also needed to observe the Hyuga clan's movements.
"That Kimimaro is really troublesome…"
Black Zetsu naturally knew what Kimimaro's problem was. After all, he was constructed from Kaguya's Chakra.
Over the years, he had been stabilizing Kimimaro's condition, but this only ensured that Kimimaro wouldn't die.
"It's just that Madara's new body is almost complete. If I don't do something, it will be worse…"
Black Zetsu was extremely frustrated. Even if he didn't want to, he had to make some necessary preparations.
"Actually, even if he recovers, he can't be Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki's opponent…"
Black Zetsu knew very well that Kimimaro's talent was good, as he had awakened such power. But he knew what level such power could reach. Obtaining the Byakugan was merely to neutralize this power.
To truly reach the limit was a pipe dream!
"Forget it. Since you want it, I'll help you with the investigation, and…"
Black Zetsu suddenly realized something. He had always suspected that Takemi was from the moon.
Then…
"Can I make an issue out of this?"
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu fell silent.
For him now, as long as he could save his mother, he could use any means.
"Good morning, you two are really early."
The next day, at Konoha entrance.
Takemi, Kakashi, and Jiraiya leisurely arrived at the meeting point. Sasuke was fine, but Naruto was a bit on edge.
"You're too slow! Kakashi-sensei and Takemi are habitual latecomers, but how are you, Pervy Sage, also late?!"
"Hey, the time isn't up, why are you in such a hurry?"
Jiraiya didn't care. Although Minato and Kushina were inside Naruto, he was the teacher.
"Besides, Takigakure isn't very interesting. We've all been there, it's nothing special."
"Indeed." Takemi stroked his chin and nodded.
"That place is actually very ordinary. The village isn't as big as Konoha, and there aren't as many people as Konoha. Plus, the last time we went, it wasn't a pleasant experience."
"Unpleasant because you encountered the Akatsuki members?" Kakashi pulled out a book and asked casually.
"Encountering them certainly isn't a pleasant memory."
"Pretty much, and this time, the team won't be complete." Takemi shrugged, then sighed.
"After all, last time, the Fourth Raikage was also there…"
"…"
Kakashi and Jiraiya almost lost their footing. They looked at Takemi, who had a regretful expression, and their minds almost couldn't process it.
That guy, the Fourth Raikage, wasn't he killed by you?
