Of course, Ranmaru's Super "Hogan," enhanced by the Kekkei Genkai Fusion Ritual, should also possess considerable control value.
However, whether it was Isshiki Otsutsuki's "Kokugan" or Ranmaru's "Hogan," Shinji hadn't gotten his hands on them yet, so these were currently just Shinji's own deductions.
Aside from control, another ability of the "Susanoo Tomoshibi" had also been strengthened: the ability to forcibly fuse dojutsu Kekkei Genkai!
Yakumo's "Koryugan" was created using this very ability.
Back then, Shinji's "Susanoo Tomoshibi" had limited capacity. With a total of three pairs of empty sockets, and his own eyes occupying one pair, he could at most control two additional pairs of eyes, meaning he could only fuse two pairs of eyes at a time.
Now, after several upgrades, his "Susanoo Tomoshibi" possessed a full six pairs of empty sockets. Excluding the pair he occupied himself, he still had five pairs of empty sockets, allowing him to simultaneously control five pairs of eyes.
And this meant he could use the "Susanoo Tomoshibi" to fuse five different pairs of eyes simultaneously at once!
In other words, if he really couldn't collect sufficiently powerful and special dojutsu Kekkei Genkai, he could try the fusion ability of the "Susanoo Tomoshibi" to create a new dojutsu Kekkei Genkai himself, just like he created the "Koryugan."
Shinji organized his thoughts. Just as he was about to conceive how to better utilize the fusion ability of the "Susanoo Tomoshibi," his brow suddenly twitched.
Through the "Magatsu" connection with Orochimaru, he sensed that Orochimaru seemed to have encountered trouble.
Standing up and leaving the central training ground, Shinji arrived at the main control room of the Flying Fortress.
Since Haku was responsible for the renovation of the Flying Fortress, he usually controlled it from the main control room.
Seeing Shinji arrive, Haku hurriedly stood up: "Leader, do you have any instructions?"
"No need to be so formal, I'm still me!" Waving his hand, Shinji asked, "How long until we reach the Land of Fire?"
Haku bowed slightly: "Please wait a moment, let me calculate!"
Although there were several countries like the Land of Bears, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Rain between the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire, the straight-line distance wasn't actually far, roughly equivalent to crossing the Land of Earth.
Soon, Haku had an answer: "If we fly at full speed regardless of chakra consumption, it will take about one hour and three minutes. However..."
Shinji asked casually, "However what?"
"Prolonged overload operation might cause the fortress's power furnace to melt down! And if the speed is too fast, the effect of the barrier on the fortress will be greatly weakened, and we might be detected by sensory type ninjas on the ground."
Haku stated the hidden dangers.
Shinji weighed the pros and cons briefly, then ordered, "We can't worry about that much right now, head to the Land of Fire at full speed!"
He wasn't afraid of exposing his tracks now. As for the power furnace, since he had mastered the technology, if it was destroyed, so be it; he could just build another one.
After the Flying Fortress entered overload mode, the interior was no longer stable, bumping occasionally.
Sensing something was wrong, everyone arrived at the main control room one after another.
Shinji explained, "That fake 'Itachi Uchiha' seems to have caused some trouble again, we must rush over immediately to take a look."
Knowing that the fake 'Itachi Uchiha' was a product of the Hegemon's power, everyone's expressions turned solemn upon hearing this.
Shion asked, "Do you need us to act?"
Shinji shook his head: "The Five Kage are hunting him down, and I also arranged for Orochimaru to deal with him. We shouldn't need to intervene directly for the time being."
Even though he had successfully promoted to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Shinji still didn't want to come into direct contact with the Hegemon's power right now.
Moreover, Orochimaru controlled the "Edo Tensei" bodies of the four Hokages and Madara Uchiha, and had experts like Kabuto Yakushi by his side. In terms of combat power, this was actually already the top level in the Ninja World.
However, necessary preparations still had to be made, so Shinji instructed Karin, "Karin, go contact Itachi Uchiha, remind him not to forget the deal between us!"
"Yes!"
Karin responded and left.
Sasuke opened his mouth but eventually fell silent.
Shinji glanced at everyone and said, "This time, the main thing is to observe and see just how strong the creations of the Hegemon's power can be. This should serve as a useful reference for our upcoming direct confrontation with the Hegemon!"
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. As Haku had guessed, due to prolonged overload, the Flying Fortress's power furnace began to show signs of melting down. However, Shinji's luck was good, and the Flying Fortress finally arrived in the Land of Fire.
After arriving in the Land of Fire, Shinji didn't rashly approach the battlefield but had Yakumo send out Ido.
Then he used "Naobi" and "Magatsu" to link with Ido, obtaining Ido's vision and sharing it with the others.
The canyon battlefield at this time no longer looked like a canyon.
Everywhere the eye could see were craters of various sizes. The black flames of "Amaterasu" were scattered disorderly across the battlefield, and Wood Release debris drifted with the wind.
"Hiss..."
Upon seeing the battlefield through Ido's vision, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
They had seen quite a few scenes, but seeing this battlefield still shocked them considerably.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
Sasuke exclaimed.
In the center of the battlefield, he saw that incredibly familiar figure. That red "Susanoo," holding a shield in its left hand and a sword in its right, was the nightmare of his countless bad dreams!
Others noticed several Edo Tensei bodies scattered around the battlefield.
The Second Hokage's Edo Tensei body was planted in a deep pit, half of his body gone and not regenerating, seeming to have been hit by some kind of sealing jutsu.
The Third Hokage's Edo Tensei body had fallen in a corner, covered in "Amaterasu" black flames, caught in a cycle of regeneration and incineration.
Only the First and Fourth Hokages were on each side, confronting "Itachi Uchiha" in the center of the battlefield.
On the periphery of the battle circle, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Onoki, and the others not only looked disheveled but also looked unwell, obviously having consumed too much energy.
Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were hiding on the other side, and their situation didn't look good either.
"So powerful!"
Haku lamented.
Facing such an encirclement lineup, the fake "Itachi Uchiha" not only stood firm but also caused such great losses to the side participating in the encirclement. It was simply incredible.
And he could tell that if the First Hokage's "Edo Tensei body" wasn't on the field, the situation might be even worse.
Shinji was also surprised.
The fake "Itachi Uchiha's" performance obviously exceeded his expectations, so he directly issued an order to Orochimaru via "Naobi" to summon Madara Uchiha's Edo Tensei body.
On the battlefield.
Receiving the order, Orochimaru sighed, then raised his hands. If possible, he was unwilling to awaken Madara Uchiha's "Edo Tensei body" because he clearly felt that he couldn't control the other party...
