Bang!
After another moment, a sound of an explosion suddenly erupted from Karin's body, and immediately after, Karin flew out backward like a kite with a broken string.
Shinji stopped the chakra impact at this time, the corners of his mouth slightly curling up.
Karin, who had fallen to the ground, crawled back up, wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and said: "Leader, I can still persist!"
Shinji shook his head: "No need!"
Karin instantly panicked: "Please give me another chance!"
"Give what chance?" After a pause, Shinji laughed: "Properly sense your body; you have already succeeded!"
"What!?"
Karin was stunned.
Immediately, she sensed herself and discovered that her chakra had undergone another qualitative leap, and her whole person felt as if she had been reborn.
Shinji walked in front of Karin: "I did not expect you to really endure it!"
Karin said: "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me!" Sighing, Shinji then said: "Possessing stronger strength means taking on greater responsibilities and bearing more risks; it is not necessarily a good thing!"
Karin's expression was firm: "Leader, I am not afraid of risks, I only fear being of no use!"
Shinji gave a smile.
Karin then asked: "Next, what do you need me to do?"
After thinking for a moment, Shinji said: "You have just advanced to Kekkei Mora and are not yet adapted to this realm, so I have arranged for you to go and train specially with Hikari. There is not much time left for us, and I need you both to adapt to the new realm as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!"
Karin agreed immediately.
Shinji no longer wasted words and directly brought Karin to the area where Hikari was training, letting Hikari and Karin undergo temporary special training with his Shadow Clone.
...
Having handled Karin's matters, Shinji returned to the Flying Fortress.
Hikari and Karin had both now become Kekkei Mora, bringing the number of Kekkei Mora under his command to two. Do not look down on this point; one must know that within the spatial barrier, a Kekkei Mora is an existence that can resist a Hegemon, and looking at the entire universe, Kekkei Mora are at the top of the food chain.
"If there could be a few more Kekkei Mora, I could be more at ease!"
After thinking this to himself, Shinji suddenly thought of Neji and Kimimaro.
Momoshiki Otsutsuki was parasitic on Neji's body in the form of a Karma, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki was parasitic on Kimimaro's body in the form of a Karma; these two Otsutsuki were no longer any threat to the current Shinji, but to Neji and Kimimaro, they were undeniable residual risks.
"It is time to deal with them..."
With a thought, Shinji summoned Neji and Kimimaro to his office.
Upon seeing Shinji, Neji and Kimimaro bowed and asked: "Leader, is there some mission you need us to execute?"
Shinji said: "No, calling you here this time is to resolve the residual risks of the Karma on your bodies!"
Neji said: "That is wonderful!"
"Follow me!"
Shinji brought Neji and Kimimaro to the laboratory and instructed the two to each lie on adjacent operating tables.
First performing an inspection for the two, Shinji said: "Neji, the liberation level of the Karma on your body has reached thirty percent. Kimimaro, the liberation level of the Karma on your body has reached fifty percent."
Neji heard this and looked at Kimimaro on the side with some surprise: "Why is your liberation level so fast?"
Kimimaro shook his head: "I do not know."
Shinji sat in front of the instruments, using the equipment to detect the physical signs of the two while explaining: "Such a difference appearing might be because Kinshiki's strength was inferior to Momoshiki's, so the amount of chakra contained in his Karma was not as massive as Momoshiki's."
"So that is how it is!"
The two then understood.
After checking their physical signs, Shinji said: "Your current physical condition is good, and surgical operations can be performed. Are you ready?"
The two nodded: "Ready!"
Shinji first came to the front of Neji, pressed one hand onto the Karma on Neji's body, connected to the Karma using Jikibi, and then activated Wazunagi, beginning to attempt to transfer the consciousness belonging to Momoshiki Otsutsuki within the Karma.
Just at this moment, Momoshiki, hidden within the Karma, was startled awake and instantly occupied Neji's body and consciousness, shouting: "Stop!"
Shinji, who was prepared long ago, instantly subdued Momoshiki who was controlling Neji's body: "Do not try to resist; you know that these things are useless against me!"
Momoshiki said: "Are you not afraid I will take this brat down with me?"
Shinji said indifferently: "If you can do it, you can try!"
"You..."
Momoshiki was speechless for a moment.
If Shinji were still the previous Kekkei Mora, Momoshiki could indeed have used the liberation of the Karma to perish together with Neji.
But now Shinji was already a Kekkei Shinra; the current Momoshiki was not much stronger than an ant in his eyes, so Momoshiki could do nothing.
Just as Shinji was preparing to continue, Momoshiki shouted: "Wait a moment!"
Shinji said: "Do you have any last words?"
Momoshiki said: "If I am not guessing wrong, you want to extract my consciousness from the Karma and turn this Karma into a pure chakra storage White Karma, right!"
Shinji did not speak, which was a silent admission.
Momoshiki hurriedly said: "With your current strength, you should be very clear about the fact that a White Karma is a defective product! If you completely strip my consciousness from the Karma, this brat will only obtain half or even less of my power! According to your way of speaking here, he likely will not even be able to maintain the Six Paths level."
Shinji frowned slightly.
What Momoshiki said was correct; if he stripped Momoshiki's consciousness, the Karma on Neji's body would become a White Karma.
A White Karma is harmless, but from another perspective, a White Karma is a defective product, a remnant of a failed parasitism. If the Karma on Neji's body really turned into a White Karma, as Momoshiki said, Neji might not be able to reach the Six Paths level even after activating the Karma.
And the Six Paths level is the minimum threshold for confronting a Hegemon; if one cannot even reach the Six Paths level, they will not even have the qualification to participate in the battle and will only be a burden.
Seeing Shinji hesitate, Momoshiki said: "So, will you keep me so this brat has a chance to possess Six Paths level power, or kill me and let this brat turn into complete trash?"
Shinji began to weigh the options.
If he did not resolve Momoshiki now, Neji could at least possess Six Paths level combat power during the great war; if he resolved Momoshiki now, Neji might have to withdraw from the combat sequence later.
Momoshiki thought he had Shinji cornered and laughed: "Hahaha, how about it, is it a difficult choice to make?"
Shinji glanced at Momoshiki and then activated Wazunagi, extracting Momoshiki's consciousness bit by bit from the Karma. However, he did not eliminate Momoshiki's consciousness, but instead transferred and sealed Momoshiki's consciousness into the H body parasitic on Neji.
