Chapter 194 Kakuzu Creates the Shinobi World Power System
Hanzo the Salamander left without any hesitation; the changes here are enormous compared to the original story.
When he first discovered the three men's talents, he did not feel threatened. Instead, he wanted to use facts to expose their lies and naivety and bring them back to the right path.
Because the Land of Rain is currently lacking in talent, and also because Yahiko has a natural leadership quality. Although he is still young, he has shown a charm that is indescribable yet completely natural.
He felt that the other person simply lacked guidance and had gone astray; if he could be guided gradually, they would surely achieve something in the future.
As for fearing that their strength would surpass his own, the old Hanzo of the Salamander might have worried, but the current Hanzo of the Salamander would definitely not.
Because he had previously taken a white pill that could heal hidden injuries and even help the body clear toxins and waste, keeping his body in peak condition.
The only side effect is that the body gradually turns whiter.
The thing that makes these pills is the White Zetsu that keeps popping up and asking him if he needs to poop.
He has caught a few over the years, and gave them all to Kakuzu.
The reason given was that among this group, only Kakuzu had mastered the method of making this pill, and the reason he gave was outrageous: it was said that only Jigan-gura could extract the essence from it.
While the environment in Dawn City has indeed improved considerably compared to the surrounding thugs and ruffians, this is merely a temporary fix. Without addressing the root cause, failure is only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, in Amegakure, as Hanzo the Salamander returned, a familiar figure appeared before him on the road. The figure held a white, humanoid creature in one hand, and black threads on its body slowly retracted from the ground.
"I heard from someone that you went to contact those three children, so I came to check on you."
Kakuzu lifted the White Zetsu in his hand: "As expected, these things have reappeared. You should stay away from them."
Hanzo the Salamander had his men take the man away, and then went elsewhere with Kakuzu, finally asking the question that had been troubling him for so long.
"Can you tell me why I can't get close to them? Is it just because of those eyes?"
"What eyes? I don't know anything about them. I've never been in contact with them. Don't accuse me of something wrong!" Kakuzu quickly waved his hand in denial, though what he said was true.
"I just listened to that guy's advice and didn't go near there."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Hanzo the Salamander stopped asking and pointed at White Zetsu, continuing, "Unless those three children are connected to the person behind this thing?"
"Who knows? Hehehe!" Kakuzu chuckled a few times before putting the item back into his sealed scroll.
"Anyway, be careful. Getting involved with something that even that guy is wary of is probably not a good thing."
After Kakuzu finished speaking, he was about to leave when Hanzo the Salamander said, "Don't forget to share half with me after you finish making the pills. These things are getting harder and harder to catch lately."
"Still eating? Hanzo, have you noticed your skin is getting paler and paler?" Kakuzu teased, turning around.
"None of your business."
The two exchanged a knowing smile; in truth, this thing was becoming less and less useful to them.
Especially Hanzo the Salamander, whose poison sacs, with the help of this thing, have completely merged with his body, as if they had grown naturally.
Aside from replenishing the body's energy, the other improvements and benefits are negligible.
Kakuzu can still take it for a while, since his body is quite complex and it's difficult to integrate it all, but he can only take a few more before reaching his limit.
For his strength to undergo a complete transformation, he must completely transform the personal consciousness within his heart. This process is very slow, and the loss of each consciousness is extremely devastating.
Therefore, the best approach is to wait for cloning technology to mature. At that time, only five hearts need to be cloned, and he won't have to go through all this trouble as he does today.
Of course, there is another way, which is to switch to cultivating the Five Elements Immortal Arts, using five kinds of immortal insects as a guide to fill the five hearts with immortal energy.
However, he doesn't have that authority yet, and he doesn't know how to bring it up with that person, since that's the other party's livelihood.
However, he had a premonition that as long as he refined the five hearts, his strength would increase by one level. If he then learned five immortal techniques, his strength would probably rise to the level of Super Shadow.
The so-called Kage-level and Super Kage level is not actually a classification in the ninja world; it was just something Aburame Shisei casually mentioned before.
When Kakuzu heard this, he thought the division was very reasonable, so he adopted it as his own and, after further refinement and improvement, made it his own creation.
He used his former leader of the Grass Ninja, Negishi Grass House, as a dividing line; anyone stronger than him was considered a Kage.
Those who can defeat him within a hundred moves are at the beginner level of the Shadow rank; those within fifty moves are at the intermediate level of the Shadow rank; and those who can instantly crush him are at the peak level of the Shadow rank.
He classified himself and Hanzo the Salamander as mid-level Kage, while Shisei Aburame was classified as peak Kage.
As for Naoto, he is slightly weaker than him, belonging to the early stage of the Kage level.
Other Kage-level ninjas, such as the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the Third Raikage A, the Third Mizukage, the Third Kazekage, and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, were all people he had met before, but he was not very familiar with some of them. However, they should all be above the Kage level.
As for whether there are any others, everything is still pending. After all, they haven't fought yet, and sometimes fame and strength are not directly proportional.
For example, the former Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, according to Hanzo of the Salamander's previous descriptions, their strength was roughly at the early Kage level. However, that was several years ago, and their current strength is unclear, so their final strength is yet to be determined.
For example, Chiyo from Sunagakure and Rasa, a disciple of the Third Kazekage, are both probably at the Kage level.
There are also the A and B duo from Kumogakure, as well as the Jinchūriki from various groups. They are all considered high-end combat forces guarding their respective areas, and Kakuzu has also ranked them as Kage-level.
He even compiled all these things into a picture album and sold it through some commercial means, making a fortune.
He even came up with things like ranking lists, but whether they were truly worthy of the title didn't matter.
Who is strong and who is weak in the ninja world is a hot topic, and hot topics attract discussion, which in turn attracts buyers.
These methods were just basic operations for him.
Just as Kakuzu returned to the underground palace of the Land of Waterfall and asked Naoto for the dew to make elixirs—on the Great Insect Island, Aburame Shisei had already completed the initial exploration and established the first layer of the insect nest under Mount Calabash.
