Chapter 597: Orochimaru’s Realization, & the Difficulties
“What will happen after they fuse together?”
“We are not just trying to combine seven Kekkei Genkai into one person to make him a perfect Shinobi… No, it’s much more than just that… what we are trying to do by fusing the seven Chakra Natures is literally trying to create a God!” Orochimaru muttered in an absentminded tone…
Hearing Orochimaru’s words, Homusubi eyes widened in surprise… She couldn’t help but look at him in admiration, and think to herself, ‘I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised… It’s Orochimaru-sensei after all…’
After months of research on the Chimera Jutsu, and because of the new theories that he has learned while working with Homusubi, Orochimaru has gradually started to realize the final result that this Project actually points to…
A Kekkei Genkai is generally the fusion of two different Chakra Natures, and Kekkei Tota that is much more powerful compared to Kekkei Genkai is the fusion of three different Chakra Natures…
So, the question arises…. What will be the result of the fusion of all the seven different Chakra Natures?
Perhaps nobody in the Shinobi World has ever pondered over this question, and this is nothing strange…
A world where even the very basic Kekkei Genkai is very rare and highly valuable, and Kekkei Tota that is only a level advanced has only appeared once and made people fear deeply… would anyone even think of the realm of Kekkei Mora?
Top researchers like Hiruko and Shinno who were researching Chimera Jutsu have never considered it, heck, even Danzo’s subordinates who haven’t stopped disputing over the issue of which Kekkei Genkai is stronger and which two Kekkei Genkai will complement each other and produce superior power never once bothered to think of the overall changes that will happen once seven Kekkei Genkai integrate together and start to fuse all the seven different Chakra Natures, so how can ordinary people who have had no contact with such deep knowledge think about it…?
Limited by his vision, even Orochimaru wasn’t able to see that far at first, and similar to everyone else, he too was thinking that the end result of this project will be the integration of Kekkei Genkai through the Chimera Jutsu, which wouldn’t be that different from Hiruko’s case…
However, after his concepts were refreshed and he was introduced to all these new theories, he gradually realized that the integration of seven Kekkei Genkai is perhaps just the first stage, and there are several levels to which this ritual will proceed, which will be completely different from Hiruko’s case, and unlike Hiruko, here it will be an all-round transcendence.
As he thought of this, Orochimaru’s eyes widened in shock, he felt that he has finally figured out the true ambitions of the Amatsukami Organization!
Something that the entire Shinobi World including the five great Shinobi Villages and the Akatsuki Organization has been trying to figure out for the past few years, Orochimaru felt that he has finally realized it…
With a shocked expression on his face, Orochimaru looked at Homusubi and questioned, “The true goal of Amatsukami… is to create a God?”
Homusubi didn’t expect that Orochimaru will even realize this… and she had to commend him for his ingenuity… but even if Orochimaru has figured it out, she was not willing to confirm it, so all she did was continue to do her work and completely ignored Orochimaru’s question…
Obviously, Orochimaru also knew that he wouldn’t get the answer so easily, but it didn’t matter to him because he was sure that his guess is extremely accurate… So, instead of asking this question, he asked something else, “Isn’t Amatsukami Organization least bit afraid of self-harm while playing with fire? If Danzo reaches that transcendence state before others and before anyone from the Amatsukami… perhaps not even your leader Yama will be able to stop him!”
Homusubi chuckled, “How could it be that easy?”
“What do you mean?” Orochimaru was puzzled… He didn’t understand why Homusubi was so certain of Danzo’s failure because as far as Orochimaru sees, the chances of Danzo’s success are relatively high.
Homusubi shrugged, “If it was really that easy to become a transcendent being… why would we bother to use Danzo?”
Partial success is still relatively possible, but complete success? It’s impossible…! There’s just no chance! Homusubi is completely certain of this.
Because for the complete success, the fusion of flesh and blood is just the beginning, it is neither the core part of the project Godhood nor the end… The ritual that Danzo will be undergoing still has a fatal flaw, and this flaw is related to the realm of the soul.
It is quite difficult to explain what Soul truly is and what is the true essence of Soul… but one thing is certain, and it is the fact that Soul and Chakra are interlinked… In other words, the Soul can carry Chakra, and vice versa is also true. And unless a soul is completely disintegrated it will never fade away… so it can also be concluded that Soul is eternal and it will always carry Chakra with it.
Although Chimera Jutsu is capable of fusing flesh and blood, it can not fuse the soul, so it can also be said that it can not completely integrate Chakra carried within the soul… That is to say, no matter to what extent Chimera Jutsu is improved and no matter how advanced the ritual is designed, it will not result in complete integration unless the issue of the soul is resolved first hand, this also means, that the end results in Danzo’s case will only be a partial success…
The impurity that exists in the form of a foreign soul will become a problem that will never be solved in the integration process, and no matter how Danzo tries, he just can’t make up for this flaw, in fact, not just Danzo, no one can solve this problem unless the target of absorption themselves are soulless… for instance, clones that Kuroto plans to use in his ritual ceremony.
The current Orochimaru obviously doesn’t realize this problem. He who has repeatedly used the Forbidden Technique of Corpse Soul Reincarnation without any reservations has yet to figure out the importance of a clean soul for transcendence.
Danzo who will absorb all the subjects, along with their souls will also face this problem. So, his transcendence will be affected.
What’s more, the problem of foreign is not the only issue, there are other problems, in Danzo’s case, there is another factor that is a restraint on his success. His aging physique is a fatal problem that lowers downs his success rate.
For the ritual to succeed, the core physique of the person absorbing other’s flesh and blood should be very strong, after all, even if through Chimera Jutsu, one would be absorbing the flesh and blood of five people into his body… if the physique is not strong enough to bear the burden of that wear and tear during the absorption process, then how will that person survive?
Danzo––who is physically old, and weak will not be able to bear that burden.
So, the probability of success in the ritual and the chances that he will be able to reach the Kekkei Mora state is very-very-very low, in fact, there is a big question mark whether he will be able to survive the ritual ceremony!
In fact, even Kuroto who is using specifically created clones that don’t have any problem regarding foreign soul is not completely certain of achieving Godhood, and the probability of success is only as low as 10 percent. So how can Danzo manage to reach that state with all those flaws coming his way?
The path to awakening Kekkei Mora is very-very-very-very difficult, and from beginning to end, there have only been two people in the Shinobi world who have reached this realm. Therefore, from beginning to end, Homusubi never worried that Danzo would reach that realm because the probability of it happening Is infinitely close to zero.
Even if all his luck comes into play, at best he will reach the state of semi-fusion with severe dangers hidden in his body, quite similar to Hiruko.
And more likely, he will either die during the ritual or, he will become an unpredictable monster with multiple souls competing for dominance.
Frowning over Homusubi’s words, Orochimaru asked curiously, “You don’t seem too optimistic about Danzo’s rate of success… why is that the case?”
Homusubi shrugged, “I only believe in possibilities that are strictly based on facts… and the fact is that Hiruko who survived the ritual ceremony was very vulnerable and was defeated so easily… so I how can Danzo be any different? Although we have made many improvements in everything, some things just can’t be changed… as such, even if I have higher expectations from this ritual, they are just some expectations… not anything else…”
“Hiruko was very vulnerable? I am afraid that only the members of Amatsukami would say so…” Orochimaru muttered with a bitter smile, and muttered to himself, “Maybe it’s just me being too scared… and perhaps you are indeed correct, the realm of God, that transcended state… it should not be so easy for us mortals to step in…”
Homusubi didn’t comment on this, and asked something else, “By the way… how is Danzo’s progress of capturing the five targets he selected?”
Orochimaru replied, “I have heard that it’s going quite well… from what I know, he has already captured three of them.”
Although Root subdivision has been abolished, Danzo still has a lot of manpower under him… And since there are many wandering Shinobi in the Shinobi World, so as long as their intelligence is collected effectively, capturing them is not that big of a deal for a team of trained Shinobi.
Homusubi nodded, “As expected… his speed is quite good…” then asked, “When does he intend to perform the ritual ceremony?”
Orochimaru shrugged, “It’s hard to say…” and added, “But what I can be sure of is that it won’t be anytime before he sits on the seat of Konoha’s Hokage…”
