Whether it was the attack range or the blast radius, it far exceeded a single Exploding Tag, and Tsukimi Rin also planned to develop more ways to use them.
For example, mixing in highly toxic substances, quicklime, or white phosphorus, etc., he believed it would definitely bring the shock of explosive art to the Ninja World natives.
Paper Release clones could be made of Exploding Tags; it just goes to show that Konan didn't really play Paper Release to its full potential, otherwise her strength could have been greatly increased.
In the future, when she meets Deidara, she can also discuss the art of explosion and expound on her new ideas.
On an island in the northern Taki no Kuni, in a secret room completely isolated by a Sealing Technique, Reina anxiously cared for Tsukimi Rin, who had lost consciousness.
Tsukimi Rin was completely unconscious, yet he was still covered in cold sweat, scratching himself from time to time, his clothes already in tatters, and his skin raw and bloody from scratching.
Reina could only tie Tsukimi Rin up with ropes to prevent him from continuing to harm himself. Although she didn't know what had happened to Tsukimi Rin, she knew that his current state was about to end.
She could sense that Tsukimi Rin's life force and Chakra were rapidly increasing. This process was somewhat violent, and from time to time, leaking Chakra caused a large number of branches and white paper to appear around Tsukimi Rin.
Reina had been taking care of Tsukimi Rin for two days without sleep. She was utterly exhausted but still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Although Tsukimi Rin sensed that the Second Body had fainted, he could still perceive the situation around the Second Body and naturally knew of Reina's efforts.
Fortunately, all that pain was felt by the Second Body, and after the body fainted, Tsukimi Rin didn't feel how uncomfortable it was.
The reason it was so painful was actually Tsukimi Rin's fault. In order to compress time, he underwent the transformation of both Paper Release and Wood Release Bloodline Limits simultaneously, which caused the originally not-so-painful transformation to become like death by a thousand cuts.
This was also due to a lack of experience. Fortunately, this was the Second Body, and Tsukimi Rin didn't feel much. Otherwise, he would definitely have wanted to die.
Other people don't have Tsukimi Rin's opportunity to have a Second Body for experimentation. If an ordinary person chose two Bloodline Limits for their first Bloodline Limit transformation, they would only be able to pay more attention in their next life.
Therefore, Ninja who underwent two Bloodline Limit transformations at once probably all perished, so no experience was passed down. It's also possible that no one in the Ninja World has ever been able to undergo two Bloodline Limit transformations at once.
The Second Body can be said to have set a precedent. Tsukimi Rin decided that he should still undergo one Bloodline Limit transformation first. Although he was strong, he was still a bit afraid of pain.
As the Second Body's pain gradually weakened, the body's instinctive struggles also gradually stopped, and its expression was no longer ferocious, but it still hadn't woken up.
Tsukimi Rin also felt that he still couldn't control the Second Body; he probably had to wait until the Second Body was no longer unconscious. However, he could also sense that now that the transformation was complete, all aspects of the Second Body's qualities had uniformly improved.
Reina noticed that Tsukimi Rin had pulled through and immediately smiled with relief. She was really afraid that Tsukimi Rin would die from the pain and that she would be all alone again.
As she smiled, Reina's drowsiness became uncontrollable, and she lay down beside Tsukimi Rin, falling into a deep sleep. Seeing this, Tsukimi Rin felt nothing.
It was purely nonsense. There was no impulse in that regard. Although emotions are not entirely due to hormones, they are also affected by them.
Now that the Second Body has also completed its transformation, he can first go and get some of the Second Body's mutated cells to prepare for his Stigma engraving.
Hiruzen said that Hidden Sand Village was already preparing for war and might invade the Land of Fire within a few days.
The reason, of course, was that Konoha had killed their Genin participating in the Chunin Exams. He didn't know where they got the courage to challenge Konoha alone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, being a shrewd old man, had already prepared war materials, and personnel deployments were also being arranged, ready to sortie and meet Hidden Sand Village at any time.
I heard that Orochimaru was the commander of this Land of Wind battlefield they discussed, while Jiraiya would take over as commander of the Land of Earth to face Iwagakure's attack at any time.
As for the Land of Lightning front, Tsunade was nominally the commander, but Tsukimi Rin and Minato Namikaze actually assisted her. Tsukimi Rin was responsible for medical aspects, and Minato was responsible for intelligence.
Finally, Ninja from various Ninja clans would deal with the Land of Water battlefield. Hiruzen Sarutobi was nominally in command, but Nara Shikaku actually directed it.
Now only Hidden Sand Village was about to start a war. Tsukimi Rin originally thought he had nothing to do with it, but he was conscripted. He was still in charge of the field hospital.
This was child labor abuse. Fortunately, he was only responsible for overall coordination and treating some seriously injured casualties, with Shisui and others as his subordinates to run errands.
All in all, it wasn't too busy, but these excuses were just Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi trying to fool him. How busy the battlefield would be depended entirely on whether the war went smoothly.
Given Orochimaru's nature, knowing Tsukimi Rin's strength, it was impossible for him not to let him deal with Hidden Sand Village's masters—the inherently evil Orochimaru.
To have a better grasp, Tsukimi Rin decided to engrave Stigma on himself first. If there was enough time, then he could complete another Bloodline Limit transformation.
Considering that he would face Tailed Beasts during wartime, Tsukimi Rin still decided to transform the Wood Release Bloodline Limit first, bringing some Wood Release surprises to Konoha then.
In the cave, the Second Body finally woke up, and Tsukimi Rin could continue to control the Second Body.
Feeling the unprecedented power and vitality of this body, Tsukimi Rin comfortably stretched. This body was indeed stronger than the main body.
Looking at Reina, who was still sound asleep, Tsukimi Rin summoned the Shikigami, The Well-Bottom Ignorance, then cut off a portion of the mutated cells from his back, put them into a test tube, and let The Well-Bottom Ignorance swallow them.
And in Konoha, Tsukimi Rin naturally immediately summoned that The Well-Bottom Ignorance and took out those mutated cells from the Second Body. It must be said that using The Well-Bottom Ignorance to transmit materials and people was extremely convenient.
While Tsukimi Rin began the Stigma engraving and the transplantation of the Second Body's mutated cells, Tsukimi Rin went to the island, intending to test the improvement of his own strength.
First, in terms of Chakra, Tsukimi Rin had now reached the level of one hundred units, which didn't seem like much, but it was definitely at the Chakra-ton level.
And Wood Release and Paper Release were also more effective, feeling smoother than when using Chakra generated by Stigma before, making them easier to control.
Tsukimi Rin used Wood Release and Paper Release to create a Wood Dragon and a Paper Dragon, controlling them to complete a quite realistic battle, giving a feeling of fighting himself.
Paper Release was lighter, and close combat was no match for the Wood Dragon, but the Paper Dragon could extend wings and fly, kitesurfing the Wood Dragon.
Tsukimi Rin also tried to make the Wood Dragon fly. Although it was indeed possible, the speed was far inferior to the Paper Dragon. The Wood Dragon's wings had to be designed very large, and its body had to be designed more slender to barely fly.
Tsukimi Rin really didn't know how Deidara's Clay Dragon managed to fly so fast. Logically, stone should be heavier than wood.
