Chương 277: Chapter – 273 Uchiha-san is Unexpectedly Sharp…

Different from aggrieved Hiruko who stood at the center of the platform.

Tsukihi had a thoughtful expression as she was wondering the cause of the increase in Visual Prowess of the Sharingan that Hiruko has in his eye sockets.

Because the plan she is working on is based on Hiruko's 'Chimera Technique,' therefore, Tsukihi was able to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual that took place here not long ago.

In Tsukihi's opinion, if done correctly, and perfectly, Chimera Technique is an incredibly wonderful technique that is capable of turning coal into a diamond.

But the Chimera Technique used by Hiruko was imperfect, at least, from her standards.

First and foremost, Hiruko did not select Kekkei Genkai based on their Nature Chakra elements, he selected Kekkei Genkai that he believed were most useful to make a perfect ninja.

But even if we analyze the Kekkei Genkai he selected, there is Storm Release with Lightning and Water Chakra Nature, Steel Release with Earth Release Chakra, Swift Release with Wind Chakra Nature, and Uchiha Clan with Fire Chakra Nature.

Because of his narrow vision, Hiruko did not even consider the five basic Chakra Nature at the time of detailing and laying out the Ritual, much less the Yin and Yang Chakra Nature.

Yin and Yang are the most critical Chakra nature to reach perfect fusion.

Because of his ignorance, Hiruko ignored what's more important, and no matter how much he trains or masters the Kekkei Genkai, Hiruko would never be able to reach the level of Kekkei Mora.

But at the same time, Hiruko can't help but think of a good coincidence.

And the five people that Hiruko obtained as targets, Uchiha Hiiragi also had the Sharingan, as such Hiruko managed to obtain Yin Chakra and the Swift Release user happened to have a part Uzumaki descent, so Hiruko managed to obtain some amount of Yang Chakra, as such overall, Hiruko did get obtain the all seven-chakra nature, but because of the difference in their strength and potency, a perfect balance has not been achieved.

But at the same time, because there are all the chakra natures, so they have complemented each other, which not only made it possible for Hiruko to survive and but also improved the five Kekkei Genkai he has, and for the very same reason, the Visual Prowess of the Sharingan he obtained increased.

Tsukihi thought, 'Will the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual conducted by Hiruko be considered a success or a failure?'

From Tsukihi's standards, this ritual is indeed a failure, yet Hiruko managed to survive, at the same time managed to absorb the five Kekkei Genkai.

Whatever may be the reason for the imperfectness, from the very beginning, Hiruko's goal was to absorb the five Kekkei Genkai which he managed to complete, as such the ritual was indeed be considered a success from Hiruko's standards.

After again sorting out her thought, Tsukihi took one last look at Hiruko and Yumie, then left the platform.

After the fight just now, Tsukihi understands that Hiruko's base strength has become very strong, once Hiruko completes the adaption period, masters the use of the five Kekkei Genkai in conjunction with each other and gains battle experience, he will become truly monstrous and defeating him in a one-to-one fight will become close to impossible for most of the people in the Shinobi World.

Even within Akatsuki, his strength would be among the top five individuals, which is a big thing considering the kind of people that are part of Akatsuki.

Seeing that Tsukihi successfully completed the battle, Shinichi just nodded to Tsukihi, and with the ritual completed, there was no longer any need to stay at this mountain anymore.

Even the members of Akatsuki rarely gather together, with the objective complete, they separated in different directions and started leaving the mountain towards the directions where their next commissions point at.

But before leaving, the members of Akatsuki carefully examined Uchiha Tsukihi and Oto Yumie, even Tendo Pain the frontal leader of Akatsuki was no exception to this.

The performance of Uchiha Tsukihi, and Oto Yumie in the previous battle against Hiruko made them shine quite a lot.

While everyone was observing Uchiha Tsukihi, and Oto Yumie, Oto Yumie who was following Shinno also finally glanced at Uchiha Tsukihi with undisguised greed hidden in her eyes.

Shinichi said with a sullen face, "Be careful on the way, that woman seems to be eyeing you!"

Tsukihi nodded, then said, "Kuroto-sama needs Hiruko's 'Chimera Technique' you better start thinking about how you can obtain it and send it to him."

Shinichi sighed, "But I don't have any deep friendship with Hiruko, in fact, I find him to be very disgusting."

Tsukihi smirked, "You don't necessarily have to go to Hiruko, his partner Shinno is also there, I am willing to bet that Shinno must have obtained Chimera Technique."

Even before joining Akatsuki, Shinno who has been traveling across Shinobi World has stolen countless techniques from many shinobi villages and individuals, in the hopes of reviving the Land of Sky, and ruling the entire Shinobi World.

So how can he, who dreams of ruling over the entire Shinobi world ignore such useful techniques like the Chimera Technique?

Even Orochimaru dared to promise Kuroto Chimera Technique in exchange for an equivalent thing, so how will he obtain Chimera Technique now that he has left Akatsuki?

Shinno is his source of obtaining the Chimera Technique!

Shinichi spoke helplessly, "But I have no deep friendship with Shinno either."

Tsukihi sighed, "It would just be a deal, why is there any need for friendship?" – After a pause, Tsukihi continued, "You directly ask Shinno what does he wants in exchange for giving you the scroll recording the Chimera Technique, and see if you can fulfill it; if you can fulfill then good, but if you can't, then inform Kuroto-sama, he will naturally try to find a way."

Shinichi considered a little and then nodded, "Alright, I will see what I can do."

Tsukihi nodded.

At this time, Shinichi asked, "Hiruko's Chimera Technique can be used to absorb other's Kekkei Genkai, I wonder what Kuroto wants to do with it? He is already so strong with those Dojutsu of his, and he is still after such a disgusting technique."

'If only you knew just how deep this accursed Shinobi world is!' – Tsukihi thought inwardly, and said, "You don't need to worry over such things. Besides, because of your 15 years of servitude, you have to complete anything that Kuroto-sama says, so get to it."

Shinichi was surprised when Tsukihi spoke '15 years of servitude' and he can't help but look at Tsukihi with a deep look. "Just who are you Uchiha Tsukihi?"

Tsukihi smirked, "You will find out soon enough."

Shinichi considered Tsukihi's words, then suddenly looked at Tsukihi with a frowned expression and spoke, "Uchiha Tsukihi, talking to you, why do I feel like I am talking to Hyuga Kuroto? He isn't teaching you any weird things, right?"

Tsukihi blushed, "DON'T BE STUPID!"

"Seeing your reaction my doubts are only deepened." – Shinichi said with a smirk.

Tsukihi's face darkened, "I am too lazy to entertain you, I am leaving, make sure to be more alert from now on, okay, bye!" – After leaving that sentence, Tsukihi's directly ran forward.

Shinichi shouted from behind, "Hey if you are after him, then I suggest you give up, you don't really have a chance, or should I say that your competitor is at a great advantage."

Tsukihi's feet suddenly slipped and she fell to the ground as soon as she heard Shinichi's words, "This GUY!"

Shinichi smirked looking at the glare he was getting, "Hey I was just kidding! But all things aside, are you sure you don't need me to escort you? If you somehow die halfway, it's none of my business!"

Tsukihi cursed, "Who needs your escort, you bastard!"

"Hahahaha..." – Shinichi's laughter echoed, "Are you sure!?"

Tsukihi sighed, she no longer paid attention to Shinichi's idiocy and disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique.

With Tsukihi gone, Shinichi also disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique and arrived next to Biwa Juzo, who was patiently sitting on a cliff.

Juzo questioned, "Are you done?"

Shinichi nodded.

Juzo said, "In that case let's go, we already have our next assignment ready."

Shinichi nodded, and both of them moved to hunt down their next target.

…

On Uchiha Tsukihi's side.

After moving all the way from Land of Earth to Land of Grass, Tsukihi was finally at the border of the Land of Fire and Land of Grass.

Tsukihi obviously did not drop her vigilance.

While passing through a forest, Tsukihi suddenly stopped and said with a sigh, "You know, I have been wondering for a while now, but how long are you going to follow me?"

At this moment, the figure of Oto Yumie came out from behind another tree, and spoke with a giggle, "Ara ara, Uchiha-san is unexpectedly sharp…"
