Chapter 120: Choice

Glancing thoughtfully at the created piece of lithium, Shikamaru frowned:

- The first of the metals ... Of course, I realized that I would create metals, but turning something into metal is not easy enough. Usually Doton does not work like that, although the Release of Crystal and Wood could create matter from almost nothing. In addition, I received not just an Improved Genome, but an Extended ... The fact that I can turn things into metals is understandable. But ... If it is Lithium, then there is a possibility that there will be Beryllium further, and this is dangerous ... Even worse, I do not understand how to create Gold or Iron, how to properly interact with chakra. Here's a question for you ... I can turn the chakra itself into a substance, but also the substance with the help of the chakra can be turned into metal. It remains only to learn how to use this transformation correctly. There was still not enough to create Uranus here ... For this, hand seals will be needed, many seals!

With these thoughts in mind, Shikamaru decided not to make any plans for now, but looked over the recent notification:

- "Excellent Gene"

Get your first Extended Genome.

Reward: 30,000 points, Bloodline Enhancement Pill x2, Forbidden S-Class Technique (Bloody Soul Call: Temporary Link), Technique: Evening Elephant.

Seeing this award, the guy was no longer surprised, but calmly nodded at what had happened. How can you be surprised after so many tricks? That's right...

- Well, glasses are always good, but this Kinjutsu is even more interesting than anything I have received for all time. A call? Worth seeing ... - At this thought, Shikamaru collected awards and began to study both Jutsu. Evening Elephant was not so difficult, after all, this is Taijutsu, and even the one with which Shikamaru was dealing, at least with the basis in the form of the Eight Gates. The problem is that this technique is performed only when all the gates are released, so in the end the Evening Elephant is simply useless. Shikamaru was not going to die yet ...

Kinjutsu turned out to be many times more interesting, especially for the general set of Shikamaru. He already owned two and, under good circumstances, could perform them:

"Living Puppet S-rank" - This Jutsu allowed to control a person while performing a special bloody ritual.

"Conjure Bloody Day Pill" - Bloody Sacrifice Technique. Kill and concentrate human blood and flesh into a pill, add the ingredients and you get an excellent medicine that can save lives at a critical moment.

Now Shikamaru has a third rather serious S rank technique. For a simple guy from the Nara clan, this is quite a good harvest.

Bloody Soul Call: Temporary Link - in fact, its name, although it reflected the essence, but not completely. The complete manual read as follows: allows you to summon the restless soul of a person for a bloody payment to God.

To create technology requires a sacrifice of ten people, and to feed technology requires the lives of others. One week - one life. Due to the good affinity with the "Yin" element, you can increase the days and reduce the sacrifice. But for the main ritual, you have to spend more lives. According to Shikamaru's calculations, if it suddenly occurs to him to bring someone back to life in such a cruel way, he can reduce the support of this soul in the living world to about one victim per month, but in the main ritual of sacrifice it is necessary to double it. The number can be increased further and, in fact, it will be possible to pay one life per year, but for the main ritual it will be necessary to kill quite a few people.

In addition, this technique has a number of advantages in contrast to the same technique of Unholy resurrection. In fact, a person will be alive and will be able to feel alive. Only his life will depend on sacrifices to this unknown god. Shikamaru a little guessed what kind of God, it is just that even he, as such, the gods are little known, there is almost no information about them. The chances of these sacrifices for Jashin are pretty high, yet the symbolism for the ritual is fairly similar. The problem is just the victims, not everyone wants to kill to maintain life. But being able to be alive again isn't that bad either, and for a ruthless ninja, the price isn't that great. True, in the case of using people as puppets, it is better, of course, to use the Unholy Resurrection technique. Infinite Chakra and physical immortality, its huge advantages over this Jutsu of Summoning. Although, in the event that someone wants to return a loved one, whose soul has not yet rested, calling is the best method. But it doesn't matter now ...

Once again gathering his thoughts, Shikamaru embarked on the next stage of development. Now is the time to reach the five Improved Genomes!

“So ... I do not plan to improve the Sharingan, now I do not need it. Therefore, I will take the gene expansion pill, I have plans to take two pedigrees, both must have genomes. ”At this thought, Shikamaru took out a black pill and swallowed quickly.

The effect of the pill was not long in coming, after an unpleasant shudder, after just a couple of minutes Shikamaru exhaled. The pill worked quickly, and another slot for the pedigree appeared in the status.

With that finished, Shikamaru glanced at the Hyuuga bloodline:

[Hyuuga - 50% strength] → Byakugan → Unique body and improved tanketsu + 5 to indicators - Strength, Endurance, Speed ​​and Chakra Control. + 100 to Chakra Volume.

Now, acquiring it no longer seemed as useful as before:

“The problem is that after acquiring this bloodline, I will lose a lot, only the growth in chakra and Byakugan will remain, the rest will simply be wasted. The Byakugan is really useful, it costs a lot and giving forty thousand points for it at the beginning of development would be quite a good exchange, but now ... Improved tankers are a controversial thing, but perhaps very pleasant, as the same "predisposition to Fuinjutsu" problem again the same in the price. Forty thousand is a little expensive ... I already have a Sharingan, the Byakugan does not seem so useful now. I don't mind spying on girls, but even without the Byakugan, it's not so difficult to do it. The problem is that this also applies to Ketsuryugan. He's even more useless to me than the Byakugan. Genjutsu? I own a Sharingan, what genjutsu can be compared with him, and then with Mangeky ... The bottom line is that for two dojutsu I will spend at least forty thousand, and get only twenty. As a result, Dojutsu will be useless, as would elemental Genomes if I bought them. Hmm, well, even if you sweep them aside, what remains there. I was going to take a chance with one, but I didn't think about the benefits of the Byakugan ... I remember there was a guy named Ranmaru ... What did he own there? " Pensively rubbing his temples, Shikamaru began to sort through memories from the past.

Ranmaru owned something similar to the Byakugan, but his sensitivity seemed to be even higher. He may not be able to see the tanker, but his eyes are clearly perfect for the Sensor and can drown out the Byakugan's ability. The only problem is that Ranmaru is just a mutated genome, not a bloodline. Although the price is small, but I would still have a pedigree ... Hmm, yes, it's worth considering ...
