Chapter 282: VII Target

The Meridian system in any person is almost identical, with the exception of only natural cases - training and special ones - mutations or injuries. So, for example, if we ignore any injuries caused to chakra channels and not very useful mutations, all people are equal in this aspect, except, of course, the owners of improved genomes, jinchūriki and senjutsu masters.

Everything has always been based on the chakra channels and the chakra itself, and, oddly enough, they are transmitted genetically. It is absolutely impossible to put the same Nara and Hyuga in the same row - the winner is obvious here. Thanks to their genes, they are already a step above most shinobi. Chakra in this world is everything and, oddly enough, the strongest people have more powerful chakra. Of course, there are exceptions like the Fourth Hokage or Might Guy, but it's worth considering that their abilities are based on special jutsu, and genetically, they are still inferior to the same Hyuga. The average Shinobi even from the Aburame clan can never compare to the average Shinobi from the Uchiha clan. Likewise, Minato, no matter how many years he spent training, would never be able to reach his son's level.

But none of them could ever count on what Naruto got today...

Feeling a small sphere in the Meridian plexus, the Hokage immediately realized the obvious - now he is on a completely different level, unlike his former self. Previously, he was already superior to most people, but now he stepped into a completely different area of \u200b\u200bcultivation!

Infinitely accumulate and generate chakra... Who among the shinobi did not dream of such a thing at all? Even Ōtsutsuki had to grow special trees, and then eat their fruits and thus live and evolve. It is likely that their bodies could withstand as much energy as they wanted, but accumulate? They might have been capable of that, but it certainly was nothing compared to what they could get from just one fruit. But what would happen if they had a terrifying chakra replenishment rate and an infinite reserve for its accumulation?

Naruto told Kurama in detail about his new ability, the Law of Essence Gathering, which greatly impressed him.

"Y-You… Are you saying you have an infinite supply of chakra now!?" What kind of jokes?! Is it even possible?!

His shock was understandable. Although, it was still worth emphasizing one important detail ...

"Not really," Naruto slowly shook his head, channeling energy into the Essence Gathering Core.

— I would say that this ability is very convenient in my case. With your recovery speed, we can generate a terrifying amount of energy. This core even somewhat resembles the fruit of a chakra, only it is fed not by the natural energy of the planet, but by my own chakra. Also, I can channel your chakra inward, as well as senjutsu chakra. It's just that they don't mix. This is something like an additional reserve. Although, I'm not sure if it hurts me...

Thinking about it, Naruto shrugged.

All of these are worth checking out in the future. A person is able to constantly develop and replenish his chakra, but this aspect is not well understood. Who knows, maybe a frequent process harms us? Although, after all the battles I've been through, I'm not sure anymore…" The Hokage shook his head with a grin.

"Anyway, this ability is very useful. Now we don't have to worry about natural energy for Sage Mode at all, it will always be at hand, and in perfect quality. If you save daily, you can stock up for very long battles. This will solve the problem of quantity, but not quality, so do not flatter yourself ...

After a second of thought, he nodded grimly.

"Okay... I still have a few plans for this ability, there will be one battle in the near future, so we will check how it works there, until then, we will accumulate energy in the core.

Kurama just nodded, he also had some thoughts about this, but as Naruto said, now it was worth doing real tests. One thing is clear - this power will make the already strong Seventh Hokage even more powerful. At least now he won't have any need for chakra.

"What about Shikotsumyaku?" the fox suddenly asked: "Why on earth did you have this genome?"

Naruto completely changed, straightened his T-shirt and fastened the belt on his trousers, and then finally answered:

"It's just a bonus... I got the so-called 'branch genes'." Apparently, this applied to all the descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, excluding only the Uchiha and Senju, as the basis descended from the Sage of the Six Paths. I already have the Senju genes, but there were some offshoots, such as Kaguya with their Shikotsumyaku, or even Kinkaku and Ginkaku," the Hokage slowly explained, until he finally finished:

"It seems that in the future I will be able to get the Uchiha Genes, since I already roughly understand how everything works… I get powers directly related to Kaguya and my distant ancestors, as well as something unique, the so-called "Spiritual Abilities." It's hard to know what will happen in the end, but I can assume that the acquisition of the Sharingan is a matter of time. Perfect Law gave me Mokuton, Branched Genes gave me the Byakugan, but the Sharingan never appeared, so I can only guess and wait...

As the Fox listened frowningly, Naruto detailed his theory. It did not sound unreasonable, after all, the Perfect Law gave him direct access to the Senju genes, it is likely that further it will be possible to open the way to the second branch - Uchiha. Maybe we'll be able to get closer to something even more unique, maybe even Hagoromo's genes. However, this is just a theory, supported only by vague guesses. Obtaining the Hyuuga bloodline raised questions, but this is not a reason to jump to conclusions. It is possible that this "system" already initially had some kind of embedded instructions. Yes, and it is worthwhile to understand that any of the strongest of their clan is far from equal to the strongest Uchiha or Senju. Another question, the owners of Tenseigan.

In any case, Naruto did not rely on theories, he was content with what he had, preparing for the worst and, for good reason...

VII goal:

(900)

Conditions: Complete subjugation of two hidden villages.

Now things are much more complicated...

— So another one... Expected.

The problem was practically solved, only some details were missing. The Hokage has already chosen the target, it remains to finish with the jutsu and subdue a few people in the future. After the showdown with Shin, he was just about to deal with this problem. In those days, a new chapter of his domination will open. The Council of Five, the appearance of Kurotsuchi and Terumi Mei, three important goals in the person of Karui, Tsunade and Sakura, as well as a change in the political system. There are a lot of things to do, and from this, his blood boiled in anticipation!
