Chapter 437: Soul Perception, Soul Strength
"So next... how to improve soul abilities?"
Li Yao frowned in thought. To improve soul abilities, the fastest way originally was to increase the strength of the Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra.
However... Li Yao had copied Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra, but the ability it enhanced was spatial ability. As for improving soul abilities... there was basically no improvement.
Even if he raised it to the level of the nine-tomoe Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra, Li Yao estimated that the improvement in soul abilities would still be minimal.
Even if it were significant, increasing the nine-tomoe Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra was extraordinarily difficult.
After all, Li Yao didn't have the Rinnegan. Currently, among the three Naruto worlds, only the world he originally traversed from still had the Rinnegan; he had destroyed the Rinnegan in the other two worlds.
And Madara was dead too.
Trying to develop the Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra to the nine-tomoe level to enhance soul abilities was too difficult.
Crucially... time!
According to the Boruto storyline, the Ōtsutsuki clan would descend at most ten-plus years after the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Although Li Yao's current strength meant he wasn't afraid of the Ōtsutsuki members in Boruto.
But that was without knowing the existence of the Progenitor of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Now that he knew of the Progenitor's existence, Li Yao had no desire to confront anyone from the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Who knew what might happen!
Even the Sage of Six Paths was so frightened that he abandoned his physical body, his soul hiding in the Pure Land for a thousand years without emerging.
Li Yao didn't want to test the consequences of encountering the Ōtsutsuki clan himself.
Perhaps the Sage of Six Paths deliberately allowed Naruto and Sasuke to retain Six Paths Yin-Yang Release to test what would happen when they encountered members of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Li Yao had some ill-intentioned guesses.
In short, Li Yao had to get rid of the Ōtsutsuki Progenitor's chakra mark before the Ōtsutsuki clan came.
"But if I don't increase the Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra strength... how do I improve my soul abilities?"
Li Yao frowned, continuing to ponder.
Soul!
Soul!
Besides the Rinnegan, the ninjutsu in the ninja world involving souls were the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and the Spirit Transformation Jutsu.
Finally, there was Li Yao's self-developed Perfect Transformation Jutsu and the Perfect Clone Jutsu derived from it.
The key to these two jutsu.
Perfect Clone Jutsu was about removing the will from another's soul, which was a Will Purification Jutsu. This was key for Li Yao to remove the Ōtsutsuki Progenitor's will fluctuations in the future.
Perfect Transformation Jutsu involved complete soul alteration, touching upon the ability of soul reconstruction.
If soul abilities couldn't be improved by the Rinnegan's dōjutsu chakra, Li Yao could only find a way from these four ninjutsu.
First, Li Yao had to elevate his soul perception to be able to perceive the will fluctuations of the Ōtsutsuki Progenitor within his soul.
Otherwise, if he couldn't even perceive it, how could he remove it?
For improving soul perception, the Spirit Transformation Jutsu was most effective in this regard, so for now, the focus would be on developing and enhancing Spirit Transformation Jutsu.
Secondly, the strength of his soul also needed to be increased.
Li Yao hadn't forgotten that feeling of his soul being squeezed and about to burst.
Soul perception ability was important, and soul strength was also very important.
After all, no one knew how much damage removing the Ōtsutsuki Progenitor's will fluctuations would do to Li Yao's soul.
If his soul strength wasn't enough, Li Yao's soul might not be able to withstand it when removing the Ōtsutsuki Progenitor's will fluctuations from his soul.
"But... how do I increase soul strength?"
Li Yao continued to ponder.
The soul aspect of Perfect Transformation Jutsu focused on soul reconstruction. If developed further, it was possible to reconstruct a stronger soul.
Perfect Clone Jutsu... not considered for now.
Spirit Transformation Jutsu focused on perception.
Dead Demon Consuming Seal... that might work.
The Shinigami soul condensed by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal could contend with the Sage of Six Paths' Pure Land for souls, showing its extraordinary soul strength.
Moreover, it was a soul with sealing properties, capable of sealing others' souls into a special space, which had some similarities to the Sage of Six Paths' Pure Land.
For improving soul strength development, Dead Demon Consuming Seal might be better than Perfect Transformation Jutsu's soul reconstruction.
"In that case, increasing soul strength will temporarily be solved by developing and researching the Dead Demon Consuming Seal."
Li Yao opened his eyes. He had temporarily made a decision regarding the path ahead. His mind and body relaxed considerably again, no longer constantly tense.
If, in the end, he truly couldn't get rid of the Ōtsutsuki Progenitor's mark, it wouldn't matter much. There were still more than ten years left, which was enough time for him to go back and thoroughly take revenge on that old man, the Third Hokage.
As long as he could torment the old man, the Third Hokage, for over ten years, Li Yao would have no regrets, even if he died.
In his few decades of life, he had dominated three Naruto worlds.
Although the first ten years hadn't been very satisfactory for him.
But in the next ten-plus years, he would definitely live a very carefree life.
"Not just three Tsunades... he would also gather three of other beauties."
Li Yao suddenly made a decision in his heart.
Since he might die in the future, he would enjoy life while simultaneously improving his soul abilities.
Traversing anime worlds, what could be more enjoyable than indulging with those two-dimensional beauties?
Since there was an opportunity, he would indulge.
Thump thump!
Li Yao split into two shadow clones, sending them to find a quiet place to develop and research Spirit Transformation Jutsu and Dead Demon Consuming Seal. His main body would enjoy life as it pleased.
Smack smack!
Tsunade's fair and tender body was instantly pulled over by Li Yao, and they engaged in a thousand-mile-a-day game on the ink bird.
"Li... Yao... mmm... please... ah... use genjutsu on me... please... change my... will... ah!"
Tsunade's lips trembled, speaking intermittently, voicing her request.
"Alright!"
Li Yao smiled, this time responding to Tsunade's request.
However, before Tsunade could react, he added, "As long as you willingly stay with me for one year, I'll let you go."
With that, Li Yao pulled away and lay down.
"One year..." Tsunade opened her mouth. She didn't want to continue for even a quarter of an hour; she wanted to die instantly. One year was too long for her.
"What, you don't want to?" Li Yao raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled.
"I... I will." Tsunade said, then soared ninety thousand li upwards.
She had no retreat. It was either one year of pain followed by freedom, or eternal servitude beneath Li Yao. She had no choice.
"Not bad..."
A willing Tsunade was indeed different from a lifeless Tsunade.
Li Yao was actually a passive person; he liked to be moved by women.
Sun rose and moon set, tides ebbed and flowed.
Three days later, the slowly flying ink bird finally reached ten thousand meters above Konoha.
Tsunade, whose center of gravity was fixed, leaned slightly to look down at Konoha. Seeing the rock face with only three Hokage statues, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, quickly replaced by a suppressive rage.
Konoha in this world was still intact.
While Konoha in her world was gone.
And she, the Hokage, now had to serve the devil who destroyed Konoha for a year to gain her freedom.
Tsunade, filled with joy and rage, could only suppress it. She continued to hypnotize herself, forgetting everything from before, and living as Li Yao's servant.
Only this way could her suffering be alleviated.
Pop!
With a thought, Li Yao created a Shadow Clone.
"Go bring Tsunade up."
Li Yao had already sensed Tsunade's chakra. The chakras of the Tsunades from the two worlds weren't very different, making them easy to distinguish.
At this moment, Tsunade was in the Konoha Hospital, treating the injured.
There were quite a number of injured, making it seem like Konoha had just experienced an attack.
"At this time... which village could launch an attack on Konoha?"
Li Yao was somewhat curious.
