47 Chapter 47: Immense Power

"'Senju's Body and Uzumaki's Body, I, who have devoured these two types of Sage Bodies, should possess a Sage Body second only to Ōtsutsuki Ashura, Senju Hashirama, and Naruto,' I thought to myself as I took out the coffins of Kushina Uzumaki and Mito Uzumaki."

"Resisting the immediate urge to devour them, I calmly extracted tissues from their bodies, storing them in a storage scroll, and then proceeded to consume their remains."

"When I devoured Uchiha Shisui as a child, fear of being discovered by Root ninjas or caught by Itachi made me nervous and excited, causing me to forget to extract a part of Uchiha Shisui's tissue."

"After perfecting the plan, I regretted not considering the potential of Impure World Reincarnation, one of the three god-tier skills. It could have exploited the devouring loophole to consume Uchiha Shisui's soul and acquire his Sharingan power, potentially obtaining the opponent's Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Now, I will not make such a mistake again. When devouring a corpse, I will first extract a portion of the other party's tissue, then use Impure World Reincarnation, and finally consume their soul. This way, whether the individual is dead or alive, I can maximize the benefits of devouring."

"As my hands released a substantial amount of black mist, a powerful suction force twisted the bodies of Kushina Uzumaki and Mito Uzumaki, drawing them into the refining space."

"However, when the bodies were refined into black energy halos and expelled by the terrifying power of the rules, I realized that my thinking had been flawed—a major mistake."

"The amount of energy remaining in these corpses was meager, which would be significant for ordinary individuals. However, this logic did not apply to Sage Bodies."

"Among the individuals Konoha had hunted, I devoured the target with the highest energy—the Elite Jōnin level Yamato, who possessed Hashirama cells in his body."

"The black energy halo and mysterious beads produced by refining Yamato were still being expelled. The warmth within my body had yet to dissipate."

"However, after consuming Kushina Uzumaki and Mito Uzumaki, I discovered that the warmth within my body instantly doubled in intensity."

"Most of this increased intensity originated from Kushina Uzumaki, who had been deceased for twelve years, while a small portion came from Mito Uzumaki, whose corpse resembled that of an old women and had been dead for decades."

"Under the influence of this enhanced warmth, I vaguely sensed the presence of two new elements within my body."

"These two new attributes were unique abilities of the Uzumaki clan, derived from Kushina Uzumaki's corpse. The first one is called... Adamantine Sealing Chains."

"The other attribute, in a sense, also stems from the Uzumaki clan's ability, but it underwent mutation. It originates from Mito Uzumaki's corpse and is named... Kagura Mind Eye Malicious Version!"

"Yes, it is the malicious version of Kagura's Mind's Eye. This ability, influenced by Kurama over several decades, underwent a mutation."

"The ability itself is similar to Kagura's Mind's Eye, but it possesses an additional attribute related to Kurama—perceiving malice(killing intent, bloodlust aura, or intense pressure)."

"Thus, my Kagura Mind Eye, in addition to perceiving abnormalities within a radius of tens of kilometers, also has the ability to discern good from evil."

"Counting the Byakugan's ability to see through objects and view several kilometers away, I can confidently claim that I am the second most perceptive ninja in the ninja world, with no one daring to claim the first position—except, of course, the Tenseigan "

"It appears that the corpses of the Senju and Uzumaki clans are the most significant gains from this grave robbery," I murmured to myself, retrieving the coffins of the Senju clan and proceeding with the same process of extracting tissues and devouring their bodies."

"As expected, the combined energy intensity of these corpses was at least dozens of times that of the old Hyuga clan member."

"Despite the Senju clan's extinction for so long, their corpses still retained a considerable amount of energy, deserving of being Ashura's descendants."

"However, something unexpected occurred when the warm current from the Senju clan corpses inundated my body."

"Suddenly, my expression changed, and my red eyes widened in shock."

"If someone could see the cellular components within my body, they would discover that my cells were currently undergoing mutations."

"If cellular vitality could be measured numerically, my cell vitality value would be doubling every few seconds or tens of seconds."

"This astonishing change in cell vitality led to a rapid transformation of my physical being."

"The catalyst for these changes was the warm current within my body."

"Among these factors, the complete Yamato, the Sage Bodies of Kushina Uzumaki and Mito Uzumaki, and the combined energy of several Senju clan corpses all had a significant impact on me at this stage, resulting in a substantial improvement."

"However, when these three factors merged together, my physique underwent a remarkable mutation."

"The energy refined by the Hashirama cells in Yamato's body, combined with the energy refined by the Sage Bodies of the Uzumaki and Senju clans, created a fusion within my body."

"This fusion gave birth to a Sage Body surpassing both the Uzumaki and Senju clans, second only to Ōtsutsuki Ashura, Senju Hashirama, and Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Realizing that the Kagura Mind Eye · Malicious Version was not the most significant gain, I couldn't help but gasp in astonishment."

"This development exceeded my expectations. I couldn't contain my excitement as I vigorously swung my fist and shouted in exhilaration."

"At this moment, I wished I could travel back in time to when I first perfected my plan and embrace my past self, kissing him passionately."

"I, who once contemplated devouring the celestial beings and wished to attain greatness, am truly a genius!"

"I knew that my ability to acquire an sage Body second only to Ōtsutsuki Ashura was not solely due to devouring the Uzumaki Sage Body and ascending the Sage Body."

"It was the simultaneous consumption of the Uzumaki Sage Body, Senju Sage Body, and certain cells of a true Sage Body that yielded this result."

"The key was the energy refined by the Hashirama cells."

"If I hadn't devoured Yamato, my physique would not have undergone such a mutation."

"That is why I am so ecstatic."

"In the past, I had the foresight to devour Yamato, gaining access to his memories and ultimately locating the Uchiha clan's remains. I was truly a genius among geniuses."

If my Sharingan were to evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan, thanks to this idea, I would also possess a sharingan second only to Indra."

"Just like Uchiha Obito, who possessed an extensive collection of Hashirama cells and could utilize the Mangekyō Sharingan as an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"As for myself, possessing a sage body second only to Ōtsutsuki Ashura, wouldn't it awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"Moreover, my wood release obtained from capturing Yamato would not be the kind of weak power that only allows for 20% of Senju Hashirama's abilities."

"Instead, it may reach the level of Hashirama himself in the future."

I apologize if this chapter's quality is worse compared to previous chapters, this specific chapter had a lot of things repeating and a lot of incorrect information which resulted in me removing a couple sentences and fixing whatever I can. In addition I wasn't sure what to replace "sage body" with, so that might add additional confusion.
