Shinno immediately produced the registration record from a few days ago. As a doctor possessing chakra, entering Konoha was certainly not as simple as for an ordinary person. His paperwork was very complete.
After the ANBU personnel checked it over, they looked at Shinno treating the wounded. A hint of hesitation showed in their eyes.
At a time like this, strangers possessing chakra definitely needed their movements restricted.
But looking at the wounded being treated, they ultimately didn't take him away.
Too many people had been injured in yesterday's disaster. Konoha Hospital's medical ninjas had been working continuously for over ten hours, yet a massive number of wounded still remained.
Having one more medical ninja now meant saving more lives.
"Konoha thanks you for your contribution. But these are unusual times. We hope you will not wander around."
After leaving this sentence, the ANBU ninjas departed.
Shinno's expression didn't change much. He still wore an amiable expression as he treated others.
But his heart was beating wildly.
This is an opportunity.
Rescuing people. Clearing ruins. Registering information. Guarding against foreign enemies. Holding meetings to discuss solutions.
All the high-ranking powerhouses were busy—creating an opening to exploit internally.
When night fell, Shinno pretended to rest after working tirelessly all day.
After confirming no one was following him, he immediately headed toward the village center, keeping his movements hidden.
The Hokage Building hadn't been destroyed. An area of ruins lay not far from it.
Shinno didn't act like a headless fly. His target was very clear—seemingly scouted out long ago.
But just as he approached a building, he suddenly stopped. He frowned deeply as he looked ahead.
A faint light shone in the window.
Someone was inside. Judging by the light, they were using a candle.
Someone else had the same idea as me?
The moment this thought arose, Shinno immediately dismissed it.
It was done far too crudely. Completely unlike the work of an outsider who'd planned this for a long time.
It looked more like an internal, foolish thief.
No. I have to change my target.
Shinno turned and walked toward another location, soundless throughout the entire process.
On the other side.
Zenji sat in the courtyard looking at the night sky, lost in thought.
Chakra that resembles flesh and blood...
The chakra flesh and blood devoured and sealed from the Nine-Tails earlier had all been transferred into the underground barrier space.
After the two of them divided it up, Zenji immediately conducted preliminary research—and discovered many miraculous aspects.
Tailed Beasts. Cursed Spirits...
While pondering, his gaze suddenly turned toward the distance. With a light flash, the next moment he stood on the wall. His gaze spotted a figure sneaking into the street at a glance.
Sneaking around. Who is this person?
Zenji felt somewhat curious.
Looking at him, it seemed like he was up to no good.
But anyone from within the village should know what this place was. Even if they were up to no good, they wouldn't possibly hide in this direction.
With a flash, Zenji vanished from his spot.
Shinno nervously entered the street and hid in the shadow of a house, only then breathing a sigh of relief.
The wide, open area of ruins earlier had been far too conspicuous.
I have to hurry back and leave Konoha tomorrow.
Shinno felt extremely excited internally.
He had found the crucial technique he'd always desired.
The Zero-Tails Secret Technique. The people of Konoha are truly wasting good things. To think such a technique was tossed among a pile of old books—who knows how many years it's been left there.
With it, the energy core part can be completed. The final piece of the puzzle for the revival of the Land of Sky has been found.
His heart leaped with joy. His excitement even washed away some of his hatred.
He completely failed to notice a figure following behind him—until a large hand grabbed his head.
The moment the hand touched him, Shinno was terrified. His face filled with horror. Before he could make his next move, he found he could no longer control his body.
"Zero-Tails? How could I have forgotten about that?"
A voice full of joy rang out beside his ear.
This made Shinno's heart sink completely. Before he had time to think further, he lost consciousness entirely.
Zenji grabbed Shinno and quickly returned to the courtyard. He found a scroll directly in the man's coat.
Opening it, he examined the contents carefully.
It contained records of Tailed Beast research—including studies based on Yin-Yang natured chakra and the mind, as well as content on how to create a Tailed Beast.
And the ultimate goal of this creation concept was exactly the Zero-Tails.
Why do I feel like this isn't just Tailed Beast research? Why does part of it look so much like... the Sharingan?
Zenji guessed with some astonishment and uncertainty.
Birthing dark chakra from the darkness of human hearts. Then materializing that dark chakra to form a Tailed Beast.
This so-called darkness was actually negative emotions like despair.
No matter how you looked at this portion of the research, it resembled the awakening process of the Sharingan.
When an Uchiha clan member loses a significant love or feels pain over their own disappointment, a special chakra surges within their brain, acting on the optic nerve and causing the eyes to change. These are the eyes that reflect the heart.
The so-called Sharingan synchronizes with the power of the heart, allowing a person to rapidly become stronger—accompanied by the power of inner hatred. Most Uchiha clan members are sensitive. Those who awaken intense emotions are easily swallowed by darkness and fall into the path of evil. The deeper the darkness, the stronger the visual prowess.
These two sentences were the canonical settings regarding the Sharingan. And they were very similar to the Zero-Tails technique.
It was just changed from an individual to a group. From eyes to a Tailed Beast.
Zenji flipped to the end but found no record of the creator.
But being so targeted, one didn't even need to think. It was definitely Tobirama Senju.
Besides him, who would dare? Who had the capability to research the Sharingan so deeply?
The core part.
Zenji cast a glance at Shinno.
To him, this was also a core piece of the puzzle.
His very own God Tree plan was finally complete.
By gathering dark chakra from human hearts, the God Tree would no longer be limited to obtaining chakra through direct physical contact.
However, judging from the original story, the Zero-Tails' method of obtaining dark chakra was also very limited.
It completely lacked the ability to spread on a large scale—or even envelop the entire world.
But if I add the characteristic of Cursed Spirits condensing from curses and fear from the Jujutsu world, it will be completely different.
Zenji narrowed his eyes slightly.
His perception focused within the sphere of light in his mind. The inherent marks of the three Disaster Curses floated before his eyes.
Among them was the essence of their existence as curses—as well as the profound mysteries of their formation process.
As long as he analyzed this knowledge, Zenji could create a perfect God Tree uniquely his own. Absorbing the dark chakra of the entire human world to condense a Dark Chakra Fruit.
I also have the Reverse Cursed Technique and the Tiger Talisman. If I reversely create light chakra, then balance and fuse the two—I should be able to create a perfect Chakra Fruit that doesn't belong to the genuine article.
Zenji's eyes lit up as he considered the possibility.
Just as this thought appeared, an even better idea surged into his mind.
He focused his attention on the Tiger Talisman—light chakra, dark chakra, and the balancing divine power in his mind.
Jujutsu Kaisen also has a setting balancing humans and Cursed Spirits. This kind of rule...
Zenji's eyes grew increasingly bright.
