Chapter 82: Golden Mangekyō

He then consciously entered his space ring and began to search. Since he had stored all the family's accumulated wealth from thousands of years into the space ring, it was now quite cluttered. Torifū searched for a long while before he found the item.

"Haha, I almost forgot about you!" Torifū held a small glass bottle in his hand, a smile on his face. Inside the small bottle was none other than Uchiha Kai's Mangekyo Sharingan! After Torifū had removed it, it had simply been gathering dust in the ring.

After all, without Uchiha blood, controlling a Sharingan was still somewhat challenging. His own strength wasn't weak, so there was no need to transplant this Mangekyo. He couldn't transplant it, nor could he throw it away, so he had simply stored it in culture fluid, hoping it might be useful someday. Torifū had almost forgotten about it, treating it merely as a collectible, but he never expected it to come in handy today!

Using a Mangekyo Sharingan to activate a [Blood Puppet] was absolutely perfect, and Uchiha Kai's Susanoo was quite impressive! In short, Torifū was very satisfied!

Torifū conjured a small crystal spoon and put the Mangekyo Sharingan onto it. He then extended the spoon into the empty cavity of the skeleton's heart and slowly settled the Sharingan inside. The moment the Sharingan entered the cavity, the flesh on the entire skeleton seemed to come alive, continuously squirming!

The empty space in the chest gradually grew fleshy tendrils, slowly enveloping the Sharingan. It began to pulse; he had actually made the Sharingan its new heart! With each beat of the Sharingan heart, golden-yellow veins began to grow on the skeleton, densely covering its entire body.

Torifū was momentarily stunned by the sight before him; such a scene was something others would never witness in their lifetime. Then, muscles enveloped all the bones, and it was now possible to discern the shape of a person. However, it was far from finished.

Tendons, skin, and hair slowly began to grow, and eyeballs and a tongue emerged from the empty eye sockets and mouth. But the color of these eyes was not like that of ordinary people, nor was it the crimson Sharingan. The pupil was still in the shape of a shuriken, just like Uchiha Kai's, but the color was golden!

Torifū didn't know if this would affect its strength, or if there was any difference from a true Mangekyo. But the system hadn't produced any unqualified products yet, so he thought it would probably be stronger. The pale-yellow skin finally looked like that of an ordinary person, but the hair was pure white. Torifū's white hair had a hint of gray, but this puppet's white hair was a pure white, without a trace of any other color. This made Torifū feel very awkward.

After not long, all the transformations were complete, and the puppet was activated! Its eyes opened! A pair of golden Mangekyo Sharingan lay quietly in its eye sockets. Torifū tried to manipulate it; there was no rejection, it was as easy and familiar as moving his own limbs. There was no need for any blood recognition, as Torifū was the puppet's only master. Torifū could even project his consciousness into this puppet for long-distance control. This meant that some missions requiring long journeys could be delegated to the puppet; he would only need to give a command and then lie at home.

After trying out the controls, Torifū realized the puppet wasn't wearing any clothes, so he hurriedly found a robe that fit the puppet's build and dressed it. It was worth noting that the puppet had no gender, so Torifū didn't feel particularly awkward. However, it was ultimately unsightly for it to remain unclothed.

It had to be said that after putting on the Kumotsuru clan's attire, the puppet looked even more refined, with a rather handsome, masculine face. The golden eyes further enhanced its ethereal appearance. However, the puppet couldn't close its Sharingan like the Uchiha clan, so Torifū found a white ribbon to cover them.

Torifū projected his consciousness into the puppet to control it, perceiving its various states. Its chakra was identical to his own, and the puppet would not consume chakra or go blind from keeping the Sharingan active. In this regard, it was much stronger than the Uchiha clan.

Tonight, he was truly in a great mood; even the exhaustion from the journey to Sunagakure was swept away. Obtaining a puppet with the Mangekyo Sharingan greatly boosted his strength. In fact, this was almost the same as if Torifū himself possessed a Mangekyo.

Moreover, this puppet had one ability that satisfied Torifū the most: it could transform into a tattoo and attach itself to a person. This way, it could be carried anywhere, allowing for a two-on-one advantage in dangerous situations, which was very convenient. Multiple puppets could share one tattoo , avoiding the trouble of having too many tattoo as the number of puppets increased.

"There's still some Peace Points left; it'll reach 30,000 tomorrow, so I can buy three puppets at once."

"However, choosing which bloodline to use for activation is the most important part."

Torifū pondered for a moment. Many clans in Konoha Village possessed secret techniques, but if he used the blood of those clans for activation, he might only get puppets similar to ordinary ninja. And there were only a few bloodline clans in Konoha; besides the Uchiha, there was only the Hyuga clan.

"Perhaps tomorrow I can find a Hyuga clan ninja for some blood."

Torifū wasn't very familiar with the Hyuga clan; he had only chatted with some of them during the handoff of the tailed beast capture mission. But he didn't even know their names, and it would be too presumptuous to suddenly ask for blood now.

"It's better to establish a relationship with them first, and then make a plan."

Besides the Hyuga clan, Torifū also had his eyes on his teacher's wife, Mito's abilities. The Uzumaki clan's unique super vitality and Adamantine Sealing Chains were things Torifū greatly desired.

"Sigh, this is the downside of Konoha; it has too few bloodlines."

Konoha Village mostly consisted of secret technique clans and secret technique ninja. Aside from the Uchiha and Hyuga, there were no other bloodline users. The future Gekko Hayate did develop Transparent Release, but unfortunately, he died in the end. So Torifū could only steal from other villages, as other villages had many different Kekkei Genkai.

"If I get the chance, I must obtain Dust Release."

Regarding the only two Kekkei Tota in the world, Torifū had already mastered Cloud Release, and with the help of a puppet, he could easily master Dust Release! However, obtaining the flesh or blood was more troublesome.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Torifū's mind!

"The Second Tsuchikage! I was so focused on Onoki, how could I forget about him! This guy is the developer of Dust Release!"

But then he started to ponder.

"Speaking of which, this Mu came to Konoha earlier to request an alliance and was reportedly defeated by Uchiha Madara."

"This guy probably doesn't have a very good impression of Konoha, which makes things a bit difficult."
