Jugo's idea was simple, he was only one person, so he could only follow one sequence, that was a fact. So why not become two people?
Yes, he was thinking about clones, but he knew it was just a silly thought, a physical clone, like a wood clone or a shadow clone, wouldn't withstand that power and would be destroyed at some point. It would be incredibly stupid to try something like that.
The snake clones were equally useless, because they were connected to Jugo, their ability to use Beyonder powers was a perfect example of this. They were like hands that weren't connected to the body, but could still be controlled.
Thus, the Snake Clones were also discarded.
The idea was almost stupid, but Jugo remembered a third type of clone, not something that would be destroyed with a little stress, nor a body part controlled remotely, but a true division.
Yes, he was thinking about the Second Tsuchikage's jutsu.
Bunretsu no jutsu.
If Jugo manages to split himself in two, retaining the Beyonders characteristics of the Chained path in only one body and leaving the other body free... wouldn't that be like starting over? He could then choose the path of the Abyss!
Jugo took a deep breath. Inside his room in his mansion, he quickly sealed the door and slammed his hand on the floor. The next moment, a coffin appeared in front of him in a cloud of smoke.
The coffin door fell to the side, inside, the figure of the second Tsuchikage remained motionless.
A foul smell filled the room, but Jugo completely disregarded it. The man's eyes snapped open, they weren't the typical eyes of an Edo Tensei, but two bloodshot, furious eyes.
Muu's flesh was compressed, making the already thin man even thinner. He neither spoke nor moved, simply standing there as if awaiting orders, staring shamelessly at Jugo.
It was a zombie, Jugo created it a long time ago, just like Rasa and Gengetsu.
Unfortunately, zombies couldn't speak, but Jugo caught him and returned to the Tenebrous World. He didn't need to open the gate this time, he could come and go as he pleased, even taking things with him, no longer requiring a ritual for it.
Jugo didn't care about anything else, waving his hand, Muu's soul was extracted directly from the zombie's body, while Muu seemed to awaken from a dream, Jugo waved his hand and the soul transformed into a luminous sphere in his hand, Jugo leaned back and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep while communicating directly with the soul, extracting the information he wanted.
He learned much more than just the Fission technique, but also how to increase and decrease his own weight and his target's weight, how to become invisible, and how to use Dust Style. When he opened his eyes again, he waved his hand and returned the soul to the Zombie.
The zombie that looked like an immobile corpse came back to "life", but Jugo didn't care about that, he focused on trying to learn the fission technique.
For a moment, Jugo found many similarities in how Ukon and Sakon merged and separated, but this technique divides not only the body, but also the soul.
This is incredibly dangerous, there are many steps to learning this Jutsu, but Jugo wasn't worried, his eyes were very excited.
With this, he could achieve what he desires!

On the other side, the Chunin Exam was still ongoing, it was already the afternoon of the third day, and the exam was nearing its end.
The teams slowly began to gather in the clearing they had arrived through, it was at this point that some teams that had lost their Tags wanted to turn the game around, unfortunately...
The teams that still possessed Tags were Team Asuma and Team Kurenai, they had teamed up during the Exam days, so facing them was six against three.
Team Gai managed to get 3 tags, but unfortunately one of them was stolen by Team Kurenai. Now they had 5 points and couldn't advance, so they were one of the teams attempting a last-minute attack.
Team Dosu and Team Kimimaro were still together, and Team Kimimaro was too strong to be targeted. Team Gai also chose not to attack Team Asuma and Team Kurenai.
Neji didn't want to hurt Hinata, and Lee only wanted to help the Konoha teams, so Tenten could only sigh.
The other two teams with enough Tags were Chojuro's group and Fuu's group.
Chojuro got lucky, their target was the Ame genin. It was a bit complicated, but as an elite team, they still won. Fuu was even luckier, Yu's team was practically the weakest team there, even weaker than Dosu's team, and they won very easily.
Team Gai had obtained the Tags from Team Killer B and Team Suna, the one with the girl who looked like a Puppet. Unfortunately for her, Neji could see her body with his Byakugan, so he wasn't fooled.
Team Killer B was still recovering from Suigetsu's beating when they encountered Team Gai. They fought, but unfortunately, Kumo's side was too weakened, and in the end, they lost their Tag to Team Gai.
Team Gai found themselves in a difficult situation.
It's impossible to attack Oto or Konoha, the chakra inside Fuu reminded Neji of Naruto and Gaara. He already knew what it was and wasn't interested in randomly releasing a "Kaiju."
Thus, only Team Chojuro remained.
Neji had already set up an ambush along the route the team would take, whoever won this fight would decide who would pass the second exam.
