Chapter 513: Gedo Statue
"Lord Amamiya, according to your orders, we found a girl named Sakura Haruno in the population archives of the former Konohagakure. She is currently living with her parents in the Shuimu Renjia residential complex near Erxian Bridge on Chenghua Avenue in the capital."
Shiori spoke respectfully.
Kenichi was momentarily stunned when he heard this.
He truly had not expected fate to be so wondrous.
Sakura's residence was not far from where Sasuke lived.
And according to the system Kenichi had established, Sakura and Sasuke might even attend the same elementary school in the future.
Would they meet again then?
Sasuke was a very handsome boy, so there would probably be something interesting to watch in the future.
However, Kenichi was not particularly concerned about this matter.
He had merely asked Shiori to look up Sakura's information out of curiosity.
He did not plan to do anything to this couple.
He was also curious about what kind of life Sasuke would lead without the bitterness of hatred, and whether Sasuke and Naruto would marry different women in the future.
However, the Shinobi World had now entered a long period of peace.
In the future, Kenichi believed the greatest potential causes of war would only be Jigen and the Otsutsuki Clan, which had not yet arrived but eventually would.
Kaguya should be very familiar with her own clan.
Since Kaguya believed that the Otsutsuki Clan would eventually come to settle accounts, Kenichi thought they would indeed come.
The only difference was probably a matter of time.
Moreover, if they were sent to investigate the situation, they would likely be strong individuals from within the Otsutsuki Clan.
That meant their strength would be immense, far surpassing Kaguya and that fellow named Jigen.
Otherwise, Kaguya probably would not have been so fearful, even starting to prepare White Zetsu early to deal with this problem.
Although Kenichi thought Kaguya's idea was a bit naive and presumptuous.
After all, White Zetsu was quite weak.
Besides that, there were no other wars or conflicts in the Shinobi World.
So Naruto and Sasuke might take completely different paths in the future.
Kenichi found this quite interesting.
He might pay more attention to Naruto and Sasuke's growth in the future.
However, thinking of Naruto, Kenichi felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, he was considered Naruto's teacher, but in reality, he had not given Naruto much care or guidance.
Most of the time, Kushina and Minato were the ones teaching Naruto.
However, Minato had also said that once Naruto became a genin, he would hand Naruto over to Kenichi for guidance.
Kenichi had no objection to this.
Naruto truly could not learn too many things right now.
It was better to let Kushina teach Naruto how to get along with Kurama.
But judging by Kushina's demeanor, she would probably just directly beat up Kurama, so it would not be easy for Naruto to achieve that future state with Kurama.
However, Kenichi was quite optimistic about Naruto.
Given the little guy's personality, he was not someone with a bad nature.
Naruto should be able to become good friends with Kurama.
The only problem was Sasuke.
Although Sasuke's experiences were different from the original story, given his personality, it was hard to say whether he would become fixated on something in the future.
Kenichi also noticed that the Uchiha Clan's emotions were indeed very rich.
So it was hard to say whether Sasuke would encounter any problems in the future that would lead to issues with his personality.
Thinking about it, it was indeed possible.
But it did not matter.
Kenichi just wanted to see what stage these two little guys would grow to in the future.
That was the only thing Kenichi was currently concerned about.
However, even if they married different women, it would not have much to do with Kenichi.
Kenichi had no intention of interfering with the younger generation's relationships.
He always let such things take their natural course.
As for who Sasuke and Naruto would end up with, he would let Naruto and the others meet in the future.
If such a thing as fate truly existed, then perhaps Sasuke and Naruto would still meet Hinata and Sakura in the future.
At that time, Kenichi would then research whether there was such a strange thing as determinism in this world.
For now, Kenichi still planned to first study Nagato's blood and see whether there would be any problems using Nagato's blood for genetic programming.
However, blood was only part of the human body, and it was a bit difficult to see the overall impact from it.
So ultimately, the clone's condition would determine the result.
"I wonder where Black Zetsu is right now. I haven't seen him in a while. It's really confusing."
Kenichi muttered, pinching his brow.
He was still waiting for Black Zetsu to produce the skeletons of those strong individuals so he could use Edo Tensei and give Madara some helpers to deal with Jigen, who was hiding below.
However, the only problem was that if a battle broke out directly here, all the investment in the new capital's construction would be wasted.
Although the Shinobi World was now unified, Kenichi did not want to waste money for nothing.
It would naturally be best if Jigen could be lured out.
But all of this depended on the information gathered by Madara and Black Zetsu.
Kenichi stretched, then placed the blood in his hand into the cloning machine.
With this tube of blood, Kenichi could create Nagato's clone and prepare for Nagato to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in the future.
Looking at the bubbles in the nutrient tank, Kenichi knew that the cloning preparations were complete.
All that was left was to wait for Nagato's clone to grow.
That was not particularly troublesome.
The only difficulty was that it would take some time.
"So, let me see what needs to be dealt with now. One is to study nuclear physics and figure out how to create the hydrogen bomb I need. The second is to figure out how to research and overcome the Rinnegan problem."
Kenichi looked at the experimental log in his hand.
His current schedule primarily consisted of these two things.
As for the internet and such, Kenichi planned to tackle that problem together with Orochimaru and Amado after they finished researching the chakra engine.
After all, the Shinobi World needed too many scientific and technological advancements.
Even if Kenichi could use the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, he did not have that much energy to advance so many research projects simultaneously.
If he did that, Kenichi's mind would not be able to handle it.
So many academic memories flooding into his brain at once would drive a person insane.
Therefore, Kenichi currently only dared to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu to study nuclear physics and master new knowledge, not to advance multiple experimental projects simultaneously.
One could even say that even Orochimaru and Amado would not dare use the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu in such a way.
"As for the hydrogen bomb, I'm currently still collecting raw materials. The nuclear physics books do have methods and blueprints for making hydrogen bombs, so I only need to copy them. But even so, I need enough materials to make them. Otherwise, I can't make anything."
Kenichi pondered.
He now had some ideas about making hydrogen bombs.
After all, the method for making hydrogen bombs was in the nuclear physics books.
The atomic bomb was the key to opening the door to the hydrogen bomb.
One could say that as long as one knew how to make an atomic bomb, the pressure to make a hydrogen bomb would not be particularly great.
If one could not make an atomic bomb, it would be like creating something out of nothing from scratch, which was extremely difficult.
But if one mastered the method of making an atomic bomb, then making a hydrogen bomb would have a theoretical basis and experimental possibility.
The difficulty would no longer be so great.
This was also the reason Kenichi was not so eager.
Moreover, Kenichi still had an antimatter weapon that he had not made yet.
As long as the analysis was complete, he could master the knowledge of antimatter.
At that time, it was hard to say whether antimatter bombs would be more powerful than atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.
"But the second one isn't easy either."
Kenichi was a bit troubled.
Was there a way to promote the Rinnegan?
Yes.
It required Six Paths chakra.
That meant if one could master chakra close to the Divine Tree, it could promote the birth of the Rinnegan.
Apart from that, the only way was to wait, like Madara, who slowly transformed his eyes into the Rinnegan through prolonged consumption.
The advantage of this method was that it was stable and reliable, with high safety.
But the biggest problem was that it took too long.
Madara had been worn down into an old man before he awakened the Rinnegan.
Kenichi did not know how long it would take him, but he did not want to wait too long.
Moreover, chakra consumption was also a problem.
Madara had been able to last so long in the Fourth Great Ninja War because he was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, with a Divine Tree inside him providing chakra, allowing him to use ninjutsu without restraint.
Although Kenichi had Hashirama's Sage Body, he did not know whether he could have chakra reserves comparable to the Divine Tree.
This problem also needed to be solved.
Kenichi had some thoughts about Six Paths chakra.
The so-called Divine Tree chakra should be an aggregate of chakra.
Looking at Madara, after he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he became Six Paths Madara.
So Kenichi thought his idea was quite plausible.
But how could chakra be transformed into that initial chakra?
Kenichi was somewhat conflicted.
He knew about chakra nature transformation, so perhaps the initial chakra was chakra that did not need to undergo nature transformation and could be directly used as any chakra nature attribute?
However, this might require incorporating the power of Yin-Yang Release to achieve Six Paths Mode.
Kenichi pondered.
It seemed that entering Six Paths Mode was probably not a simple matter.
But why did the Sage of Six Paths brothers have this mode?
Was it related to something in the Otsutsuki Clan's bodies?
But the problem was that Kenichi could not study the Sage of Six Paths' body right now, so he could not confirm his hypothesis.
Then, Kenichi thought of something else.
The Gedo Statue.
This thing was the husk of the Divine Tree.
If all the Tailed Beasts from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails were sealed inside, a complete Divine Tree could be obtained.
Thinking of this, Kenichi directly left the laboratory and took an airship to the Land of Rain.
The Gedo Statue's body was kept in the Land of Rain, not outside, and was still in the Akatsuki's base.
When Kenichi arrived there, he saw the enormous Gedo Statue.
It squatted there quietly, like a dead object.
But Kenichi knew that this thing would stand up if controlled by a Rinnegan user, and its strength was quite good.
"This thing looks pretty enormous."
Kenichi looked at the Gedo Statue in front of him, his Mangekyo slowly rotating in his eyes.
Kenichi activated his ability and began to deconstruct the Gedo Statue in front of him.
But soon, Kenichi frowned slightly.
Although he had guessed that the Gedo Statue would not be easy to deconstruct, the difficulty still caught him a bit off guard.
Because in his eyes, a series of things continuously emerged, then slowly formed a piece of the Gedo Statue's skin.
Kenichi could only continue maintaining it.
Fortunately, after awakening the Eternal Mangekyo, Kenichi's use of Mangekyo ocular ninjutsu did not have too much impact on his eyes.
However, prolonged use still made Kenichi's eyes ache.
And when the pain in Kenichi's eyes became unbearable, he was forced to turn off his Mangekyo.
He had paid so much, but what he gained was only the skin composition of one of the Gedo Statue's hands.
Kenichi did not know how long it would take to see the inside of the Gedo Statue's body, which gave him a bit of a headache.
However, he was not completely without gains.
At the very least, Kenichi now understood the skin composition of the Gedo Statue.
Then he discovered something quite interesting, yet also within his expectations.
The Gedo Statue's skin composition was similar to that of a plant.
There was nothing strange about that.
After all, the Gedo Statue was originally the husk of the Divine Tree.
This thing was originally a very special kind of plant, just with a more unique composition.
Kenichi scratched his head.
If he wanted to completely deconstruct the entire Gedo Statue, it would probably take a lot of time and effort.
After all, every time he used his ocular ninjutsu to examine it, Kenichi had to take time to rest.
This meant that after each examination, he had to rest for a long time, making it impossible for Kenichi to investigate the entire Gedo Statue at once.
He could only take it slowly.
Fortunately, he still had some time for now.
