Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

More than fifteen hundred Konoha shinobi were bound to the Chakra Transmission Array without being able to put up any opposition, and as a result, they became human-formed chakra batteries under the control of the Cursed Jutsu.

Only a handful of the shinobi connected to the Chakra Transmission array, those with strong chakra reserves, was able to keep it going for a time, but the rest all suffered terrible side effects.

Because the essence of Chakra is the fusion of spiritual and physical energy, shinobi can draw out more chakra at the cost of overdrawing vitality and overconsumption of spiritual energy, which is why continuously extracting chakra from their bodies is equivalent to extracting their spiritual and physical energies.

And death is the outcome of excessive physical and spiritual energy consumption!

And so, it came to pass…!

Plop… Plop…

One by one, shinobis began to falter and fall to the ground not long after the Chakra Transmission Array began to pull out chakra without concern for the lives of the people…

Some were simply fatigued, while others had succumbed to their afflictions.

The expressions on the alive Shinobis’ faces darkened as they continued to observe the travesty right in front of their eyes while powerless to stop it.

“Something’s obviously not right within that cave…” Kakashi, who was monitoring the Chakra Transmission Array from afar, saw the shift and scowled.…

…

Inside the Volcano

“There isn’t enough… there isn’t enough… This is still insufficient… Need more Chakra…!”

As the ritual progressed, Danzo continued to growl like a beast in despair as he demanded more and more Chakra.

When Root’s chief researcher saw Danzo like this, he was terrified and crouched on the ground, apologizing, “Ho… Hokage-sama… this is the maximum limit…”

The chakra surrounding Danzo is as dense and fierce as that of a Biju right now… Its concentration is so intense that it can be seen with the naked eye… The last time he saw so much chakra was during Kyuubi’s attack on Konoha…

But, despite the abundance of chakra surrounding him, Danzo is unsatisfied and demands more Chakra like a beast…

He is really terrified by this scene.

“Quickly, raise the power of the transmission array!” Danzo screamed once more.

The researcher went completely still… He was at a loss for what to do…

Homusubi, on the other hand, maintained a serene demeanor as she observed the events unfolding in front of her.

She recognized at this point that she had seemingly forgotten a critical issue: the high Chakra requirement of the ‘Kekkei Genkai Fusion Ritual.’

Homusubi only realized now that Charka’s criteria for the ceremony are far higher than all her previous expectations.

Danzo’s Chakra reserves have increased greatly as a result of Orochimaru’s transformation procedure… plus the chakra collected from over fifteen hundred Konoha Shinobi… This is an excessive amount of Chakra.

This much chakra should have been more than plenty, according to Homusubi’s expectations, at least…

However, it turns out that this isn’t enough.

The Chakra supply was more than ample when his simple eye evolved into Sharingan, and when the pair of Sharingan in his eye sockets evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, as the Chakra fusion in his body advanced, and the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the need for Chakra escalated to a point where the Charka Transmission Array, which consisted of over fifteen hundred shinobi, couldn’t keep up.

“And this is only the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which represents the Yin Chakra’s pinnacle… The Rinnegan follows, which is a merger of the Yin and Yang Chakras would need more Chakra… After that, there’s a much higher level… The union of the seven Chakra natures… known as ‘Kekkei Mora.’ Obviously, this level of Chakra supply will not be able to meet those standards…” Homusubi’s brows furrowed as she considered this.

And if Homusubi is correct, Danzo won’t be able to awaken Rinnegan or achieve the Kekkei Mora.

She’s come to one basic conclusion based on her examination of the ceremony thus far.

That is, as the ritual progresses through each level, the amount of Chakra required for the following level increases exponentially.

When Danzo achieved the level of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the demand for Chakra exceeded the supply, and the possibilities of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan evolving into the Rinnegan were little to none.

This fact also helped her realize something else… ‘Until now, we were all mistaken… When it comes to ascending, the true challenge is not the issue of soul fusion, but rather the necessity of too much Chakra, which virtually no one can obtain…’

As a result of her realization, Homusubi was able to let go of her anxiety.

‘It is impossible for Danzo to achieve ‘Kekkei Mora’… Whether he can successfully complete the ‘Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual’ or not is entirely dependent on his luck…’

Although she felt relieved after coming to this decision, she was also made aware of a severe dilemma. The chakra supply from more than fifteen hundred shinobi is insufficient to meet the requirement for the total fusion of Yin and Yang chakra, thus if Homusubi wants to achieve ‘Kekkei Mora,’ she’ll need tens of thousands of shinobi.

‘The matter of Chakra needs will have to be handled as well… otherwise, achieving Kekkei Mora will be a pipe dream…’ she sighed helplessly.

She returned her gaze to Danzo after the helpless sigh… Seeing Danzo’s plight, Homusubi felt a little sympathy for him, regardless of how harsh his acts were at the time.

…

Back to the ritual.

When Danzo noticed the principal researcher hesitating, he did not issue an order… Instead, he established fleeting eye contact with the scientist.

And then… the next thing you know.

“M… My body…!”

The top researcher had lost control of his body after just an instant of eye contact, as the potency of Chakra Transmission was amplified past its maximum limit.

Whoosh…!

Danzo’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin erratically as soon as the transmission power exceeded the maximum.

Homusubi also shielded her eyes with her hand at the same time… The pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eyes had begun to tingle for some reason she didn’t fathom.
