🕑 Added 2025-04-10 15:30:27 +0000 UTCFeigning being hit by a scorching attack, Kei descended into the dense forest, watching as Rasa and Pakura departed.
Rasa's limbs had been completely reduced to deep bloodied pulp.
With the current medical technology of Suna, if treated in time, saving his life shouldn't be difficult. But regenerating severed limbs or performing limb transplants—this was something they wouldn't be able to achieve even in a few more years.
Losing both legs and one arm, he would no longer be able to move quickly, and his ability to form hand seals would be severely restricted. Even if he were to later install puppet prosthetics, his strength would be reduced by at least 70–80%, making it impossible for him to ascend to the position of Kazekage again.
He would be nothing more than a heartless mining machine, endlessly searching for gold in the desert to provide financial support for Suna.
"Hmm… but it's not like there's no way?" Kei stroked his chin, recalling Suna's human-puppet modification techniques.
If Rasa, like Sasori, was willing to carve himself apart and transform into a human puppet...
Then maybe he could achieve a miraculous comeback and reclaim the title of Kazekage.
Hmm... Should he chase after him and finish him off completely?

A familiar system notification rang in his ears. Along with it came a surge of fate's power, attracted by [Fate Weaver].
Kei felt the luck surging within him once more, and a slight smile curved on his lips. Since Rasa's fate had not completely changed... Didn't that mean he might still have a chance to become Kazekage?
As for whether he would undergo human-puppet modification, did it even matter? A human puppet's potential was limited. At best, the only difference was between a heartless mining machine and a highly efficient heartless mining machine.
Kei could dismantle him into a pile of spare parts with ease. "An important side character, huh?"
Glancing back at the recent system notification, Kei's eyes flickered slightly as he focused on the [Associated Trait Extraction (Random)].

!!!!!
Kei's eyes lit up instantly. This seemed to be exactly what [Natural Sage Body] was missing!
System, activate [Spiritual Sage Essence]!
He pressed his lips together, suppressing the excitement in his heart. A vast amount of sage knowledge flooded his mind.
Calming the spirit, visualizing transcendence, absorbing the natural energy of the world to temper his soul! His previous insights into [Natural Sage Body] now merged with the new knowledge.
By drawing connections between them, even more profound realizations surfaced within his mind.

[Fusion? Yes/No]
---
Hm? Yes!
Although Kei was surprised by the mention of [Yin Release Mastery] and [Graveyard Healer], he did not hesitate in the slightest.
All memories related to sage techniques began flashing rapidly through his mind. The natural energy within several kilometers was drawn to his presence, surging toward him. The originally azure glow of his senjutsu chakra started to mix with the gray-black hues of Yin Release, the vibrant green of Yang Release, and the radiant gold of [Spiritual Sage Essence].
Various powers merged and fused, continuously absorbing new natural energy—gradually transforming into a deep, pitch-black hue!
Dark, profound, and faintly shimmering with multicolored light, the black energy enveloped Kei's body.
In the next moment, all the colors slowly faded, leaving behind a pure, colorless white radiance. Between the shifting of black and white… His skin, muscles, chakra pathway, bones, and organs—already refined once before—were once again bathed and reshaped by the newly formed senjutsu energy.
His vast and dense spiritual power was also being compressed and refined.
"Mmgh—" A suppressed groan escaped Kei's lips.
He felt as if his soul were soaking in a hot spring, a sensation of unparalleled comfort and clarity washing over him. With a single thought, he could now perceive every chakra pathway, every bone, every fiber of flesh within himself—
Unlike the simulated images he had experienced when fusing [Zero-Frame Start]… This time, it was true inner vision.

The system notification rang.
The strange sensation throughout Kei's body gradually faded. He waved his hand, summoning a water mirror before him.
In the reflection, he saw himself—now adorned with a pair of pitch-black dragon horns, his entire form radiating a deep, dark brilliance. Black dragons, formed from condensed senjutsu energy, coiled around him in a protective formation.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
This appearance… No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like a good guy.
With a mere thought, the once pitch-black energy shifted—transforming into a brilliant, pure white.
He reached up, touching the newly grown, slightly larger dragon horns on his forehead and the expanded mark between his brows.
This… A White Dragon?
Examining the details of [Yin-Yang Sage Master], and carefully sorting through the vast amount of information settling in his mind, a smile played on his lips.
Both [Yin Release Mastery] and [Graveyard Healer] had been completely integrated into this new trait, elevating his control over ordinary Yin and Yang Release even further. Moreover, the special effects originally tied to [Graveyard Healer] had not vanished. Instead, they had been transformed into several auxiliary Yang Release Sage Techniques that he could now wield effortlessly.
And that was just what the system notifications and memory infusion had directly revealed.
The hidden benefits? Countless.
As his spiritual power continued to grow, [Transmigrator] also began slowly amplifying and restoring the spiritual energy that had been reduced by over half after undergoing refinement.
The power of [Wood Release Jinchūriki] had always been deeply connected to Sage Mode and Yang Release. Even without the system explicitly stating it, he could already foresee—its strength was bound to increase yet again.
"A unique path, huh?" Kei clenched his fist slightly, feeling the power coursing through his body.
Previously, he had to merge natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy to form senjutsu chakra before entering Sage Mode and using Sage Techniques.
But now, he had broken free from the shackles of chakra.
He could absorb the natural energy of the world at will, wielding it directly to cast Yin-Yang Sage Techniques!
This kind of power… A nightmare for the Ōtsutsuki?
