Ninja Ice House

Kosugi Bokusui had already considered the situation inside Kurama Yakumo's body.

Many years ago, the young master realized that her body was not only imbalanced in yin and yang, with rampant mental energy and weak body, but also had other deeper reasons for the birth of the alternate personality, Idu, due to external stimuli.

However, for various reasons at the time, we did not investigate further.

It's not that we should ignore it, but rather that there's no need to pay too much attention to it.

The bloodline clans in the ninja world all have some issues with their bloodline origins.

For example, the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyuga clans, and the Kurama clan is no exception.

Aside from bloodline limits and bloodline elimination formed by the fusion of the Five Elements Escape Techniques, which can be cultivated later in life and whose aptitude can be passed on to future generations to a certain extent, most bloodline limits actually come from the atavism of different bloodlines or genetic mutations.

The appropriate awakening of latent bloodlines is beneficial, but the difficulty lies in the word "appropriate." The vast majority of Uchiha clan members face extremely high difficulty in awakening their Sharingan, indicating that their level of awakening is relatively low. They need extensive training from a young age, refining chakra, strengthening their bodies, and even creating various unexpected stimuli to cause fluctuations in their mental energy before the Sharingan can become manifest. However, Kurama Yakumo's starting point was too high. His body was too weak, and his ancestral awakening was too deep. This is like driving a newborn calf to plow a field; it's impossible for him to pull it.

If the energy in her body is too weak to activate her bloodline limit, that would be fine. But this girl's bloodline limit is so active that even if she activates it on her own, she doesn't have enough chakra and her control is too poor, so she still can't do it. But if she can't activate it on her own, and she consumes excess mental energy, it will accumulate inside her, and she will develop a secondary personality or a mental energy monster like Ido, or even involuntarily overflow.

It is highly possible to cause a fire in one's surroundings and harm friends and family without realizing it. One might even create a distorted subspace of self-awareness within the ninja world, centered on oneself. That would be a far cry from Jiraiya's dream world, which is almost harmless.

"What is that? Have you ever seen it before?"

"It's somewhat like a tengu, but..."

The goddess of the rabbit has encountered this question countless times before.

"It seems a little different!"

"This is... Itachi Uchiha's complete Susanoo, which seems to be the Tengu form. This must be one of the ancient, extinct gods and monsters!"

According to some legends, the Wu Tiangu is a smaller and weaker branch of the Tiangu species. It is considered a benevolent deity and is generally friendly to humans, especially children, whom it particularly likes and often helps.

but……

"Back then, it seems that a few human experts who were supposedly guided by the Tengu came to challenge me."

"How strong are you?"

"Primarily focused on swordsmanship and taijutsu, it doesn't seem to be a genjutsu power system. To challenge a god with the pinnacle of pure taijutsu—swordsmanship—is undeniably courageous, and the skill is also commendable. Considering the current power balance in the ninja world..."

After thinking for a moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki continued:

"In terms of pure reaction ability and combat talent, he is about the same as Minato Namikaze. His swordsmanship is slightly stronger than Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha. In terms of absolute attack power, he is slightly weaker than Might Guy when he opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation."

"The power to open the seventh gate of the Eight Inner Gates, approaching that of a Jonin, combined with Minato Namikaze's reflexes and combat talent, and swordsmanship slightly superior to Sakumo Hatake, this..."

Madara Uchiha at his peak, having regained his Rinnegan, might not have been this powerful. Without becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and with his absolute power and the oppression of the rules, probably no one in the ninja world would have been his match.

Such a person, empowered by an unwavering will, could unleash a devastating strike capable of cleaving through space itself. Kaguya Otsutsuki, a "weakling" in terms of combat strength, wouldn't even be worthy of carrying the shoes of the ninja world if she didn't use her Bloodline Limit Secret Technique and Yin-Yang Release.

"A thousand years ago, the ninja world was full of monsters like this?"

No wonder they have the courage to challenge "demons." Even Kaguya Otsutsuki has to take them seriously and has to go to great lengths to resolve these "minor troubles."

"Not that many. Every twenty or thirty years, there will be someone clamoring to 'exorcise demons and monsters' and come knocking on the door. Although it's a bit annoying, it's a little bit of fun in life and helps relieve boredom."

In other words, every year the ninja world would create three to four "saviors" to challenge Kaguya Otsutsuki. Winning would be better, but losing wouldn't matter. The flesh would all rot in the pot, and the power of the Otsutsuki clan and the God Tree would remain, completely integrated into the ninja world.

However, some people were fanning the flames during this process, such as the toad sages of Mount Myōboku, who were probably among the most active outliers.

"Putting all that aside, are you sure this thing is a Tengu?"

"They look very similar, judging from the general shape, they should be almost the same, but the color and power attributes seem a bit off."

"Is it possible that it is Garuda?"

What Kosugi Bokusui was referring to was not Deidara's Explosion Release technique—C4 Garuda, but a mythical bird, half-human and half-bird, a symbol of loyalty and power, not some insignificant deity like the Tengu.

"Garuda?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was also somewhat surprised.

"This is a super divine bird that directly caused the near-extinction of dragons, a dominant species, in the ninja world. Is it here? Or does it still exist in the ninja world?"

Since there were no dragons to eat, the Garudas naturally either starved to death or migrated away.

That's right, Garuda is a general term for a type of divine being. They do not exist in isolation in the multidimensional universe. They are also known as Kunpeng, Golden-winged Bird, Thunder Bird, Harpy, or other names, and their overall image is that of a half-human, half-bird being.

Garuda has another almost undistinguished characteristic: it feeds on dragons its entire life, as these are divine birds that specifically hunt dragons.

In general, the power system is based on swordsmanship and magical clones, which are ever-changing. In some legends, Garuda went to forcibly obtain the elixir in order to rescue his imprisoned mother, and successfully challenged the chief god Indra before returning.

The Sage of Six Paths' two half-blood sons, Ashura and Indra, were not named randomly; there's a lot more to them than meets the eye!

Since there are no dragons in the ninja world, or almost none, Garuda, which feeds on dragons, should naturally not exist.

But could Garuda have hybrid offspring lurking in the genetic information of humans in the ninja world?

It seems that Garuda's typical power model does not include illusions that combine reality and illusion, or spatial manipulation!

There are legends of Garuda in the ninja world, otherwise Deidara would not have named his ninjutsu C4 Garuda.

However, there is a problem here.

Why is it that the Kurama clan always has poor health? The higher their bloodline limit talent, the worse their health becomes? It's even getting worse and worse.

Because their food supplements lack a crucial "main course".
