Time flew by, in a desolate plain.
No one would have expected an Experimental Base to be hidden here, and at this moment, the base was filled with all kinds of corpses.
There were corpses of ordinary animals, and also corpses of Ninjabeasts possessing Chakra.
Gen Takano stood there, holding a large stack of experimental data.
He first experimented with fusions between animals, then converted some of them into Ninjabeasts, and only after the experiments were complete did he move on to higher-grade materials.
However, at first, it was also a fusion between Ninjabeasts and high-grade materials, as this was the wilderness, and while there were many wild beasts, obtaining live high-grade materials was a bit troublesome.
"Experimental data... there's a problem," Gen Takano murmured, looking at the experimental records in his hand.
It wasn't that the fusion failed, but rather that the physical changes after fusion were somewhat off.
Although the fused subject successfully acquired the physique of a Ninjabeast, over time, it underwent slight changes, even showing signs of collapse, though the process was not fast.
Gen Takano nodded, contemplating everything in the original story, and finally uttered three words.
"Heaven, Earth, Man."
Hiruko had prepared for so long, not just by finding Bloodline Limit corpses, but also by preparing the most suitable location for fusion and an astronomical phenomenon of a total solar eclipse, only then was he ready to complete the final fusion.
Perhaps it was necessary to utilize a kind of Natural Energy during the change of astronomical phenomena.
But... those were the conditions Hiruko needed to achieve the fusion of five Bloodline Limit; the first four Bloodline Limit did not require such stringent conditions.
"Then, it's the inherent flaw of the Kiyomi Technique," Gen Takano sighed.
He recalled how Hiruko's originally tall stature had transformed into a somewhat effeminate, slender youth after using the Kiyomi Technique.
And how, after the final failed fusion with Kakashi Hatake, he looked neither human nor ghost.
Gen Takano had actually long suspected there would be flaws; such a Ninjutsu was almost impossible to be perfect.
Even if Hiruko had truly prepared the conditions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and perfectly fused the five Bloodline Limit, it would only reduce the flaws of this technique, not eliminate them.
Since there are flaws, should he just abandon this Ninjutsu?
Gen Takano curled his lips, how could he?!
If he didn't use this Ninjutsu, then his current flaws would be even greater!
And he had thought about whether this Ninjutsu would have flaws before; now it was just confirmed. Although he felt regretful about it, he would absolutely not give up using this Ninjutsu, the only one that could change his future path!
Besides this, there was no other way!
Sage Mode? Not to mention he had wanted to learn Sage Mode before but couldn't even get started, nor did he dare to easily start.
Even in the late stages, Sage Mode's power isn't considered high, unless the God Tree released all the Natural Energy of this world; only then would Sage Mode have room to grow to be on par with Chakra Ninjutsu.
And that, obviously, was impossible.
Ten-Tails Jinchuriki? Don't be ridiculous.
With his current terrible physique, even housing a random Tailed Beast would be a near-death experience, let alone the Ten-Tails; that would be certain death!
Therefore, even if the Kiyomi Technique had monumental flaws, he would use it!
