Konoha 38 A.U., Autumn.
After years of rapid military buildup, the number of ninja across the Five Great Ninja Villages surged until they reached a saturation point. Among them, the population of one single village now matched the combined total of all five villages from the original timeline.
At this moment, Madara Uchiha from Mist had already dispatched elite reincarnated warriors to capture Tailed Beast Jinchuriki from other villages.
The Akatsuki organization from another world once again invaded this realm.
The world of shinobi stood at the edge of great upheaval.
Yet many still lived in peace and prosperity, completely unaware of the impending danger.
In a remote corner at the edge of the world—Penglai Ninja Village.
Across the vast ocean, following a deep and ethereal cry, the massive Samehada leaped out of the water, creating surging waves.
Then, opening its seemingly bottomless mouth, a figure slowly emerged.
Heiyan had finally emerged from cultivation.
Thinking back, it had already been four years since he faked his death.
Within the Eternal Space, however, that duration stretched tenfold—meaning forty full years had passed. During those forty long years, Heiyan dedicated himself entirely to mastering Kekkei Mora.
Though already nearly sixty years old, externally he still appeared no older than twenty. This was thanks to the extended lifespan granted by Sage Transformation.
Actually, once Heiyan completed the evolution into Perfect Sage Mode, he could live for over a thousand years—or even achieve immortality.
By then, age would be nothing more than a number.
Forty years of rigorous cultivation brought tremendous rewards.
Each Kekkei Mora technique he developed held the power to shatter heavens and tear apart earth—but activation required the Rinne Sharingan. Thus right from the beginning, Heiyan was destined for failure.
He had known this all along.
Even so, Heiyan boldly attempted an unconventional path, striving with all his might to forge a new way forward.
In the end, persistence had proven worthwhile.
Although after forty years he hadn't mastered true Kekkei Mora techniques, he had successfully fused all seven chakra natures within his body and developed two pseudo-Kekkei Mora abilities.
In the world of shinobi, whether it was Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Tota, or Kekkei Mora, they generally fell into two categories: physical and elemental.
Physical types included various ocular powers, Dead Bone Pulse, sensory domination, Attack of the Twin Demons, Dragon Life Reincarnation, and other organ-based abilities.
Heiyan's Parasitic Spores and real clones were top-tier physical-type Kekkei Genkai.
The second category—elemental techniques—included abilities formed through fusion of two or more chakra natures. By extracting Tailed Beasts' Kekkei Genkai and developing his own, Heiyan had acquired ten different forms of Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tota.
Among these, the strongest technique was [Yin-Yang Release - Xirang].
Now, Heiyan's power had risen further—he had developed both physical-type and elemental-type pseudo-Kekkei Mora!
Ten minutes later.
With a whoosh of air, Heiyan strode across the sea surface toward the deserted island training grounds.
Standing at the island's center, he clasped both hands together.
Then, a massive surge of energy burst outward from beneath Heiyan's feet, engulfing the entire island.
Heiyan took in his surroundings and sensed a stirring within his heart.
Looking up at the sky, he saw that the previously clear heavens had suddenly gathered thick red storm clouds. In the next instant, over a hundred streaks of crimson lightning, like a group of galloping dragons, erupted from the clouds and crashed violently onto the island.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the blinding flashes of lightning and amidst violent explosions, the island quickly became riddled with craters.
Unfazed, Heiyan strolled calmly through the storm of electricity, then shifted his gaze downward. Immediately, the ground began to shake violently, rising upward as scorching magma burst forth from beneath the surface, continuously erupting and transforming the island into an ocean of molten lava.
Heiyan waved his hand once more.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A hurricane-force wind suddenly blew in from the sea, uprooting rows of trees and sending multi-ton boulders rolling across the land.
At the same time, a tsunami over thirty meters high crashed onto the opposite side of the uninhabited island, surging forward with unstoppable force and washing across the entire landmass.
Lightning, earthquakes, volcanoes, raging winds, tsunamis—
In quick succession, one after another, all manner of natural disasters struck this desolate island, transforming it into a deadly wasteland where no life could survive.
At this moment, Heiyan stretched out both hands and made a pressing-downward motion.
Within seconds,
The dark clouds dispersed, the tsunami receded, the winds calmed, and the earthquakes ceased. Everything on the island rapidly returned to tranquility.
Then, with his palms upturned, Heiyan lifted his hands.
Rumble!
Countless trees sprouted from underground, instantly forming a lush and verdant forest. At the same time, scattered rocks fused together into small mountain peaks, towering majestically.
Everything on the island rapidly rejuvenated, transforming from a terrifying dead zone back into a paradise filled with birdsong and blooming flowers.
This was Heiyan's ninjutsu-style pseudo-Kekkei Mora technique known as the [Sage's Domain].
Once this domain expanded, within its range, he could freely wield the powers of ten different Kekkei Genkai, even those long lost or extinct, manipulating all natural phenomena—even gravity itself.
In essence, the Sage's Domain was Heiyan's own miniature world. Within this world, he was the ruling god—a force capable of holding his own, even temporarily matching wits with a Six Paths Tier expert.
Of course, this technique came at a cost—it drained massive amounts of chakra.
Even with Heiyan's current Sage Transformation physique, when using the Sage's Domain, the maximum coverage extended only three kilometers outward from his position, and the domain could be maintained for no more than ten minutes.
This technique was Heiyan's ultimate last resort.
When facing a powerful enemy and invoking the Sage's Domain, it marked the moment he launched his final decisive battle.
Heiyan's second pseudo-Kekkei Mora ability was a physical transformation technique he called the [Seventy-Two Transformations].
Yep—that's the very same Seventy-Two Transformations made famous by Son Goku.
With this ability, Heiyan could transform not only into various humans but also summoned beasts—this went far beyond a simple transformation technique.
Because Heiyan had comprehended all seven chakra's nature transformations and form transformations, and spent forty years endlessly fusing them, combined with the immense physical strength granted by Sage Transformation, he unknowingly gained the potential to master every Ninjutsu technique in the world.
When this potential was taken to its peak, it granted Heiyan a "copying" ability.
As long as he obtained someone's blood or cellular tissue, he could use the power of [Seventy-Two Transformations] to create a template and transform into that person's likeness. This would allow him to use all of their Ninjutsu techniques.
He currently had a few test tubes at hand, containing the blood of Fugaku, Hiashi, and Tsunade.
He had requested these beforehand in preparation for the worst. Heiyan had considered that if his lover and best friends ever met with misfortune and died, he could rely on [Impure World Reincarnation] to resurrect them from the underworld.
