Chapter 18: meeting the sage of six paths
Minato and Kushina flashed as they rushed towards Sora from the back and front. Sora calmly dodged their attacks without much movement, Minato suddenly took out a kunai which had a strange seal on it and stabbed at Sora.
Sora calmly reached out to grab the kunai, but Minato threw it up slightly. Sora was confused by his action, but Minato suddenly disappeared, Sora's eyes widened as he couldn't trace Minato's movement.
the next instant, Minato appeared above Sora grabbing the Kunai and sending a kick towards Sora's head. at the same time, Kushina burst out of the ground, and she sent a fist covered in lightning toward him.
'he can teleport... interesting.' Sora through as he suddenly disappeared and switched places with Kushina. Kushina's eyes widened as her chains wrapped around her, Minato quickly disappeared before the two could clash. and this time, Sora copied Minato using that jutsu.
"you cheating, you can't use jutsus," Kushina said as the chains disappeared, and Minato appeared next to his kunai.
Sora shrugged slightly at that moment he was helpless. of course, he was holding back, if he went all around there was no way they could even see his movement.
"you two caught me off guard," Sora said with a smile, although he could put in auto-combat mode, that was cheating going up against them.
"I didn't expect you two to know a space-time jutsu," Minato said softly, Sora smiled slightly
"thats just the body replacement jutsu, I improved upon it slightly," Sora said calmly, Minato's eyes twitched slightly, a simple jutsu had transformed into a powerful space-time jutsu that could switch with even living beings with them unable to resist as it was instant.
"sigh, I should be going. I promised to show Mikio around the village today." Minato said calmly, everyone nodded slightly before he disappeared. Sora looked at Kushina confused at who Mikio was
"She is from the Uzumaki clan, Minato saved her from the hidden cloud village. she seems to have the blood of the Senju and Uzumaki running through her. she is extremely powerful." Kushina said calmly, Sora nodded slightly, Minato seemed to have a thing for red-haired girls.
"so, what should we do today," Sora said calmly, Kushina smiled slightly as she hugged his arm
"Nothing," She said with a smile, Sora smiled slightly as he nodded. the two headed to a park where they spent their time near a lake trying to fish, but it ended up with Sora teaching Kushina to fish.
"Kushina." a cry sounded out as the two of them looked up and saw Mikoto Uchiha running towards them.
"i'm getting married... you know," Mikoto said softly, Mikoto was going to get married to her boyfriend, he was the most talented member of the Uchiha clan. He was the soon-to-be clan leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha
Fugaku Uchiha might be only second to the likes of the White Feng. he was one of the strongest ninjas in the hidden leaf and could be one of the people who could become the future hokage with his current status and strength. only in his mid-20s, Fugaku was even younger than the White Feng.
"really... but I can't help I just got back," Kushina said softly as she looked at Sora,
"you two go do your things, if you guys need my help you know where to find me," Sora said with a smile as he waved goodbye and left, Kushina frowned slightly, she felt like she was letting Sora down. today was their day,
meanwhile, Sora went on to stand under a tree and calmly looked towards a tree covered with leaves, moment later Orochimaru flashed as he appeared under the tree he was looking at it.
"you been fooling me all day, what's wrong?" Sora asked with a smile, Orochimaru looked deeply at Sora. He had asked the 3rd hokage about Sora, and the 3rd hokage told him Sora was the reincarnation of the sage of six paths. of course, he made sure Orochimaru will promise to tell no one.
"I have come to take you up on your offer," Orochimaru said softly, Sora smiled slightly as he rubbed his nose slightly.
"Sure, let's go see this lab of yours," Sora said calmly as he walked toward him. Orochimaru nodded slightly as he flashed, and Sora also flashed following him.
Orochimaru's lab was located in a secret location within the hidden leaf, Sora could have easily found it if he tried. upon entering his lab, Sora looked around and the test subjects. Sora frowned slightly seeing this but didn't say anything.
"... these cells, who are they from?" Sora asked as he looked at frozen cells, they had a huge amount of lifeforce which instantly caught his eye
"they are the cells of the first hokage, Hashirama's cells." He said calmly, Sora nodded slightly before looking at Orochimaru
"keep thinking of ways to attack me and I will kill you," Sora said calmly, Orochimaru's eyes shrank as he froze on the spot. Sora had been hearing this taught this whole time, and it was all ways to capture him.
"human test subjects are what's needed. you seek to become immortal, I seek something higher. perfect genses. all the power we search for is hidden within the body, simply learning to rewrite those genes and you have unlimited power." Sora said calmly as he looked at the children floating within the tubs filled with water.
Orochimaru was stunned by Sora's words, but Sora quickly noticed he had stopped thinking. making it hard for him to hear his thoughts.
"the genes are the building blocks to life, take control of these blocks and you have control over what path life can go, control over evolution, and so on," Sora said as he looked at one of the kids, which one was named Yamato. Sora could tell he was special, his body was stronger than the others.
"so, how do you feel about working together?" Sora asked with a smile as he turned to look at Orochimaru, and of course, Orochimaru agreed.
So, with that, Sora spent some time helping Orochimaru give the children the Hashirama's cells. Orochimaru was pretty much giving the Senju bloodlines, but Hashirama was special compared to other Senju, he too can be considered an alpha of course no where near Sora level. but what made him be considered a this by Sora was because he had wood release an abnormal level of chakra and a powerful physique
What was so special about wood release you ask? At its simplest, Wood Release allows the user to create wood, essentially converting their chakra into a source of life. At its greatest, mighty trees of various sizes and shapes can be created. The vegetation can sprout from the user's body or grow from the surroundings. Hashirama created a forest that served as a foundation for Konohagakure, contributing to his selection as First Hokage.
Wooden constructs can also be created, ranging in complexity from cages to complete houses. The created wood doesn't need to take any identifiable form, allowing users to focus on its inherent pliability to ensnare targets or its durability for brute force attacks.
Wood Release's most versatile application is the Wood Clone Technique, which makes a fully-functional duplicate of the user that is indistinguishable from the original, linked minds, and much stronger than all other clone jutsu.
The Wood Release was also equally famous for its power to manipulate, suppress, and/or absorb a target's chakra. This would be done by ensnaring a target with the Wood Release and upon such physical contact would then control the chakra until they were finally too weak to escape.
Hashirama's mastery of this ability earned him recognition as one of the few people able to fully control a tailed beast. Hashirama's usage of this skill let him subdue many of the tailed beasts, keeping them under his control and allowing him to distribute several to the early hidden villages.
Wood release was powerful, but not many could handle such a thing. but to Orochimaru's shock, Sora should him a more effective way to give these children this bloodline without killing them, or even harming them.
all that was needed was to make a virus that will slowly over time rewrite their genetics. this will take a long time, but it was much safer. in a few months or years, the first test subject will have this bloodline.
Sora of course had Orochimaru do all of the action while he watched with his left eye. the virus was weak and simple, so it only took a few hours to make. but this allowed Sora to master making viruses, Sora was, of course, speechless as he copied the wrong thing.
but thinking twice, his eyes shot through the kid who had the virus in him, his eyes forced on the virus at work, and Sora went on to shockingly copy the virus abilities, which was genetic editing.
Sora smiled slightly, this was just what he needed. now he didn't need any stupid virus, he was like a virus and can do all the work much better than they could ever.
"well, we will speak tomorrow. not even I am immortal, don't think such a thing is so easily gained," Sora said calmly as he left, leaving a stunned and speechless Orochmiaru who was going over what Sora taught him today.
meanwhile, Sora returned home and went on to work on giving himself Genetic Perfection.
this will mean his biologically and genetically perfect in every respect, they have attained the pinnacle of biological and genetic enhancement. As such, his genome is flawless, making his entire biology perfect, which grants him all powers hidden within his genetic code to their maximum capacity and potential immunity to any kinds of outside genetic alteration or change caused by genetic access, cutting, disintegration, etc., because users have total Access to all genetic powers.
But such a thing will take time and energy. He had to becare as not to mess up, it had to be perfect. Sora was not simply trying to become a Prime Being, which was originally being/creator of a race,
Sora was trying to be a Primordial Being, an entity that was the origin of everything of all races. the first, of course, was not so simple as Sora didn't have the power, energy, knowledge, and time for such a thing.
But within one night, his power reached new heights. he had with just the Senju bloodline, traced back up to the Otsutsuki bloodline. Sora of course got some memories, but nothing too huge or special, just some stuff about someone named Kaguya, and the abilities of the Otsutsuki bloodline
Sora couldn't become an alpha among members of the Otsutsuki clan, he needed more reach into this bloodline first before he could try such a thing. but the abilities he gained were shockingly the Byakugan, it turned out the members of the Hyuga were also from the Otsutsuki clan.
Sora's eyes of course got stronger, now you might be wondering. what's the difference between Sora gaining these bloodlines compared to him copying them
Sora can't copy strength or something like that. He copied Kushina's chakra, he only gained the ability to eat his own chakra to heal, but that didn't mean his chakra become as strong as Kushina's. he gained her abilities, mastered them times 10. that was all.
He copied the Sharingan, he mastered everything about the Sharingan. but that didn't mean he gained the bloodline, Sora didn't know but the Sharingan can be evolved. His couldn't evolve because he didn't have the bloodline, he just copied the sharingan.
He copied Tsunade and copied her Senju physique, but that only increased his endurance and stamina. Sora didn't copy their bloodline, he couldn't do such a thing. how would he go about copying a bloodline?
His body adapted to whatever he copied as if he spent countless years with said ability training in it. so, this didn't mean he got the bloodline, just his body adapted.
When he copied push-ups, he did become stronger as his physique improved as if he had been doing a push-up for countless years. it didn't mean he gained the push-up bloodline.
Now with him having the bloodline, Sora could now have all of their abilities. stronger chakra, a stronger physique, a stronger mind, and his sharingan could evolve now. not to mention he had better mastery of all of their abilities,
Sora was a powerhouse who had reached mid-Stellar, meaning he had power allowing him to destroy or defeat someone who is capable of destroying huge stars
Sora let out a deep breath as he felt his newfound power, but his senses were sharp as he felt everything happening around not just the planet, but the moon, and nearby planets.
all this by just giving in to his genetics, soon he will become a primordial being, and become a perfect bring. but that needed time, he had to do much research into many races, not just humans and members of the Otsutsuki clan.
Sora stood up and went on to get ready for the day, while cooking, he sighed before looking up into the sky
"I believe you're the real sage of six paths, it's been like what? a day now of you watching me, what's up?" Sora asked calmly, as he let loose some of his six paths chakra.
slowly, that chakra began to take form into a pale skin old man who was floating above truth seek orbs, and with a long black staff resting on his lap. He had rinnegan and a red 3rd eye which seemed like a mix between a Sharingan and a rinnegan.
this was the sage of six paths, although he died, he still lived on as a soul. so long as his chakra from his two sons remained, he could always reappear. similar to how Sora allowed him to use his chakra to reappear
in fact, members of the otsutsuki remained resilient even after they die. the sage of six paths' soul lives on through his chakra, his two sons will live on through their reincarnation although they can't awaken their memories.
the sage of six paths was powerful, He was early Planetary level which stunned Sora slightly.
"your power and capabilities are unheard of, you're soul is either pure or dark, or is it gray. you are one who holds unknown secerts and goals... just who is thee?" he said calmly, but his eyes widened as Sora's eyes began to slowly transform into rinnegans. a 3rd eye slowly opened on Sora's forehead, revealing the same eye the old man had
of course, Sora copied these eyes, these two eyes of course had passive abilities, which allowed Sora to copy them without the old man needing to do anything.
