Chapter 109: Fusing the Hagoromo Bloodline
...
On the deck of the Sky Ninja Fortress.
Kameda and Honoka looked anxious and uneasy.
Samui stood dazedly to the side.
Even at this high altitude, far from Kumogakure below, the massive commotion of battle could still be heard.
Especially the terrifying, gigantic form of the Eight-Tails, which was extremely conspicuous on the ground.
Honoka said unreconciled, "If I were a bit stronger, I could help Lady Konan fight."
Her Adamantine Sealing Chains countered Tailed Beasts, but she couldn't handle Kumogakure's ninja troops.
Kameda glanced at her but said nothing.
Please, that's Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
With nearly ten thousand ninja, going down to help would only be a hindrance.
He knew his own strength and had never thought of helping Lady Konan in battle.
Swish!
Konan approached rapidly from the distance, spreading her wings and landing on the deck.
Honoka's eyes lit up. "Lady Konan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Kameda obsequiously handed over a cup of herbal tea. "Lady Konan, you must be tired. Have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue."
Konan took it. Cold air emerged from her hand, chilling the tea instantly, and she drank it in one gulp.
As the icy tea went down her throat, the fatigue from the recent battle felt much relieved.
Seeing Samui hesitating to speak, Konan said calmly, "Your brother is fine."
"Thank you." Samui instantly breathed a sigh of relief, her expression relaxing.
As long as her brother was safe, that was all that mattered.
As for Kumogakure and the Raikage... sorry, but she was fast becoming shaped by Lady Konan.
Konan waved her hand. "Go about your own business. I'm going back to my room to rest."
"First, fly the aerial fortress away from the Land of Lightning."
"Yes." Kameda bowed his head.
He didn't look up until Konan left the deck.
"Lady Konan is truly amazing. Whether it's Kirigakure or Kumogakure, she comes and goes as she pleases."
Honoka's face was full of admiration as she cheered herself on. "Roar! I can't fall too far behind. Training, I need to train!"
"Samui, join me! We must be helpful to Lady Konan!"
Saying this, she dragged Samui along, rushing toward the training room like a gust of wind.
Kameda smiled and shook his head, going off to busy himself with the meal.
He just needed to handle logistics well; his combat power was negligible anyway.
Inside the room.
Konan sat cross-legged on the soft bed, personally performing the Chimera Technique once again.
Alex watched over her from the side.
Inside the sphere of white light, dark specks of starlight were visibly separating from the long black horn.
Until the Hagoromo bloodline was completely extracted, the long horn decayed and withered like a weathered branch.
It fell from the light sphere to the ground, turning into dust.
Sweat beaded on Konan's forehead, her expression tense.
This time it took eight minutes, two minutes faster than extracting the Uchiha bloodline last time.
And she still had energy left for fusion.
This showed that her practice of the Chimera Technique with Alex's personal help over the past few days had yielded results.
She took a deep breath and continued to circulate the Chimera Technique.
With a swish, the light sphere wrapped around the black specks and sank into her palm, entering her body.
Konan closed her eyes.
She fully controlled the power of the Chimera, fusing the Hagoromo bloodline into her body.
Five minutes later.
Her face turned pale, her body began to tremble, and her expression became painful.
It seemed this was her limit.
Alex took in Konan's condition entirely.
Extracting the bloodline was the first step; fusing it was much harder.
It required finer manipulation and chakra control.
After all, it involved deeply fusing the bloodline with cells and genes, demanding extremely precise and efficient control over chakra and power.
Not a single mistake could be made.
Seizing the opportunity, Alex immediately inserted himself into Konan's chest.
With her cooperation, he instantly took control of her body.
The sluggish, hard-to-control Chimera power within her instantly became as obedient as an arm directing a finger.
The 20% fusion progress skyrocketed to 100%.
Hagoromo bloodline fusion complete!
Alex sensed the state of the body.
Chakra increased again, and physical strength improved synchronously.
Power grew by another thirty percent.
He flew out of Konan's chest, returning control of the body to her.
[How does it feel?]
"It's okay." Konan let out a long breath, her expression completely relaxing.
Only she knew how difficult the fusion just now had been.
The human body has trillions of cells. She needed to control the Chimera power to precisely fuse the bloodline into every single cell.
It was extremely draining on her mind and chakra.
The further she went, the harder it was to control.
Fortunately, Alex intervened in time; otherwise, the internal fusion would inevitably have spiraled out of control, leading to severe injury.
But the mental consumption just now was immense. She felt very exhausted and needed to rest.
"Alex, I'm going to take a nap."
After speaking, without waiting for Alex's response, she simply lay down and fell asleep.
This nap lasted until dark.
Konan woke up, subconsciously looking at the dark sky outside the window. "I slept for so long?"
[Konan, you're awake.]
Alex drifted up lazily from a soft spot.
With nothing else to do, he had also been sleeping on a pillow of extreme softness.
Konan sat up, spreading her arms and stretching lazily.
Revealing an extremely seductive S-curve, her chest even more prominent.
She felt her body was in great condition right now, with super-high cell activity.
The numbness from the earlier Lightning Release stimulation had completely disappeared.
Her strength had clearly taken another small step forward.
She looked at Alex. "Alex, the next target is Konoha, right?"
Uzumaki, Shikotsumyaku, Uchiha, Hagoromo—four bloodlines fused.
Only Hyuga and Senju remained, both in Konoha.
Even if it was dangerous there, she had to go.
Alex pondered.
Konoha had Might Guy. If pushed too far, he might open the Eight Gates...
There was also a Sage Mode Super Kage-level Naruto.
Sigh... headache...
Currently, Konoha was rebuilding with all its might. No ninja was allowed to leave without special circumstances.
How could he trick these two guys into leaving...
Or continue to strengthen himself.
Alex shook his head: [Let's eat first.]
He couldn't decide in a short time; he hadn't thought it through yet.
Konan nodded and walked out of the room.
Unsurprisingly, Kameda came to her immediately from a distance.
"Lady Konan, the meal is ready. Should I bring it to your room, or will you dine in the pavilion?"
"The pavilion." Konan walked forward.
"Where is Honoka?"
"Since you returned, Honoka has been training in the training room all day. She's tired herself out and fallen asleep. Should I wake her?"
"No need." Konan waved her hand. "Let her rest well."
She walked straight to the pavilion and sat down.
The night was cool as water, and the bright moon cast a silver glow.
She never got tired of the night view from high altitude.
Soon, Kameda brought a table of delicacies to the pavilion.
"Lady Konan, these are all specialties of the Land of Lightning. Please enjoy."
Alex looked at the food, which was stylistically different but looked delicious, and secretly praised Kameda.
This guy was indeed a talent.
Every time they arrived at a new place, he would immediately collect local ingredients and make delicious dishes.
All suited to Konan's taste.
After the meal.
Konan sipped her herbal tea and asked, "Where are we now?"
"Lady Konan, we have left the border of the Land of Lightning and entered the territory of the Land of Demons."
Land of Demons?
Alex paused, instantly remembering the priestess Shion, who looked very much like Hinata.
He naturally wasn't lusting after her body, but rather, the priestesses seemed to have their own unique sealing jutsu.
Pure curiosity; he wanted to take a look.
