"Soul?"
"Spiritual energy?"
Kenshi chewed on these two words, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
He remembered that the ninja's soul, after being purified by the Rinnegan eye power chakra, became unowned spiritual energy. He wondered if the shadow clone could use the Spiritualization Technique to absorb the unowned spiritual energy and create a soul, emitting a continuous supply of spiritual energy.
"Let's try it!"
Kenshi thought to himself, then patiently waited. Once the ninjas who were causing trouble for the village came, he would capture them and experiment.
White Zetsu was definitely watching him secretly. If he left the village to capture someone, he didn't know if it would cause other changes.
He had to take his time when he needed to. Kenshi couldn't rush.
The second day of the mission.
A team of seven ninjas was running towards the village. Kenshi descended from the sky and stood outside the village, without making a move.
Soon, the attacking ninja team arrived at the village entrance.
Kenshi's shadow clone was already waiting at the village entrance.
"Black high-collared coat, this is..."
One of the ninjas in the team saw the black coat on Kenshi's shadow clone. His face changed slightly, and he reminded them, "Boss, it's someone from Akatsuki."
The leader of the team frowned when he heard this. "It seems this village has commissioned a mission from Akatsuki."
"What should we do, Boss?"
"I heard that there are a few strong guys in Akatsuki. They've already reached the level of jōnin. Only one person has appeared here. Could it be that..."
Hearing that they were from Akatsuki, everyone's hearts sank. They looked at Kenshi with fear in their eyes. Their strength was generally at the genin level. Only the boss was at the chūnin level.
They had no chance of winning against a jōnin.
"Boss, maybe we should just leave."
Someone suggested. The others agreed, which made the ninja who was the leader of the group feel uncomfortable. He felt that his authority was being challenged. Besides, there was only one person on the other side. Even if he was strong, he was still just one person. There were seven of them. They were stronger.
The ninja who was the leader immediately glared at the others and said angrily, "What are you afraid of? He's just one person."
"And, have you forgotten Akatsuki's ideology?"
"Akatsuki is a group of people who insist on not killing. Even if we can't beat them, we won't be in danger."
"But if we win, didn't we find out before we came here? There are quite a few beauties in this village."
"Then... fight?"
The leader's words successfully aroused the evil thoughts in everyone's hearts, suppressing their fear of facing a jōnin. The key was that Akatsuki's ideology of not killing gave them the courage to continue their evil deeds. Everyone became restless.
"Go, kill him."
Seeing that the evil thoughts in his subordinates' hearts had been aroused, the leader didn't hesitate. He immediately gave the order, leading his subordinates to charge towards Kenshi.
Looking at the seven low-level thugs who were attacking with ferocious expressions and lust in their eyes, Kenshi's shadow clone remained calm. In a time of chaos, there were people like Yahiko who had the desire to save the world, and there were also thugs who were completely driven mad by the chaos, releasing their desires.
Facing the seven low-level thugs, Kenshi's shadow clone took only one second to make the seven realize that there was an insurmountable gap between their strengths.
Bang, bang, bang... The seven people flew out like seven small stones, drawing a parabola before landing heavily on the ground.
"Ah... what happened just now?"
"I... we..."
"Monster..."
"Too strong!"
"This guy's strength is simply not on the same level as ours."
Although the shadow clone was still standing in the same place, as if he hadn't moved a single inch from beginning to end, the seven understood that in that instant, they had been blown away by this guy at a speed they couldn't perceive.
And... he had held back!
Otherwise, they would be corpses now.
"Go!"
Realizing the huge gap in strength, the leader of the seven no longer dared to stay here. He immediately called to his subordinates to leave.
The seven turned and left, their bodies still trembling slightly, afraid that Kenshi's shadow clone would chase after them.
Fortunately, Kenshi's shadow clone didn't chase after them, and the seven safely left the village.
"Whew... got...?"
The seven took a deep breath, secretly relieved. They were about to say that they had been saved when their consciousness was locked in a dark room, losing control of their bodies.
Bang, bang, bang... Kenshi, one by one, threw the seven onto the clay bird and then jumped up and flew into the sky.
"What is that guy, Kenshi, doing?"
Not long after Kenshi flew into the sky, a white face appeared on a large tree. It was White Zetsu. He looked at Kenshi, who was flying up into the sky, and muttered to himself.
Over the past two years, Kenshi had been very well-behaved. He had stayed by Nagato's side and hadn't caused any trouble.
Now, he was suddenly acting so abnormally. What was he trying to do?
What was he doing with those wandering ninjas?
White Zetsu had a feeling that Kenshi was doing something he didn't want him to know... no, something he didn't want him to know about.
What could it be?
White Zetsu felt a nagging itch in his heart but couldn't do anything about Kenshi. He didn't dare to act abnormally either. Otherwise, it would be a loss if he aroused Madara's suspicion.
"Forget it. As long as this guy doesn't disrupt the plan, let him be."
White Zetsu retracted back into the tree and continued to hide.
Kenshi flew high into the sky and glanced down. He smiled inwardly.
"That guy, White Zetsu, is definitely watching him."
Before, he couldn't sense White Zetsu, who had merged with the tree and only revealed his face. Now, with the Rinnegan eye power chakra, his soul perception ability was more sensitive. As long as White Zetsu showed a slight flaw, he could sense it.
He believed that as he continued to grow stronger, White Zetsu would be unable to hide from him.
But for now... let's see if the shadow clone can have a soul.
Kenshi split off a shadow clone, then condensed Rinnegan eye power chakra, pulled out a ninja's soul, purified it, and got a ball of pure spiritual energy.
Kenshi wrapped this spiritual energy with chakra, then took it out. The shadow clone immediately used the Spiritualization Technique to create a spirit body and absorb the ball of spiritual energy.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, the shadow clone's spirit body immediately possessed the ninja's body that had been pulled out of its soul.
"It works!"
The shadow clone controlled the possessed body and stood up, excitedly saying that he could feel that he could condense chakra.
"It worked!"
Kenshi's eyes lit up, but before he could be happy for long, he frowned again.
The spiritual energy absorbed by the shadow clone's spirit body was rapidly being consumed. It had all been condensed into chakra in a long time.
Then, the shadow clone lost the ability to condense chakra again.
"It still doesn't work!"
Kenshi scratched his head, very annoyed. He thought it had worked, but... how could he make the shadow clone have the ability to condense chakra?
"Start over. This time, think carefully."
After a while, Kenshi calmed down and started thinking again.
Pure spiritual energy was like a battery. Once it was used, it was gone.
He had to equip the shadow clone's spirit body with an engine.
Possessing the body solved the problem of physical energy.
The soul was the only way to produce spiritual energy. A shadow clone was just a jutsu, the result of chakra mimicking a form. It didn't have a soul.
To have a soul... maybe he could possess someone else's soul, just like possessing a body?
Kenshi suddenly thought.
It should work.
It could work.
The more Kenshi thought about it, the more he felt that possessing a soul would work.
He immediately activated his mind and split off another shadow clone. This time, after he pulled out a ninja's soul, he didn't purify it. Instead, he used the Spiritualization Technique to strip the soul of all its memories.
In this way, after possessing the soul, he wouldn't be disturbed by the ninja's memories from his lifetime.
It was just... how do you possess a soul?
Kenshi frowned for a moment. The Spiritualization Technique's possession essentially killed the other person's soul, causing it to dissipate, and then occupied the other person's body. It was like changing clothes. The body was the clothes. It was very brutal, so it had a lot of side effects.
But possessing a soul, using a spirit body, how do you possess a soul with a spirit body?
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Kenshi could only go with it.
He used the Spiritualization Technique's possession method to have the shadow clone's spirit body merge with the soul body that had been stripped of its memories.
