Irori was undoubtedly a Puppet that Yayoi had spent countless efforts and time to finally create.
Through his modifications with highly active Chakra, combined with the assistance of some Yin-Yang Release, its functionality made it a Puppet life form that performed even better than human Puppets.
However, compared to a Puppet, her biological structure was actually more akin to a Tailed Beast.
Because the Materials used to construct her were not substances like wood or metal with Chakra conductivity; the Materials that constructed her were primarily Chakra itself, making her a Chakra organism similar to a Tailed Beast.
It was just that compared to a Tailed Beast, she had not formed a true life and required Yayoi, her creator, to control and command her to exert her full capabilities.
The reason for the idea of creating such a Puppet life form was that the Chakra Yayoi refined naturally possessed powerful vitality.
When this vitality was elevated to a higher level, it could condense into a living Chakra embryo.
Using this Chakra embryo as a foundation, through years of extension and shaping, Irori’s human-like prototype was finally formed.
Combined with the characteristic that Chakra could transmit consciousness and thoughts, compressing and aggregating Chakra to a high degree, and then imbuing it with memory and thought, she was equivalent to a simplified version of a Tailed Beast.
During this process, in order to make Irori possess the same ice-controlling ability as that’Snow Doll’ from the anime Unbreakable Machine-Doll in his past life’s memories, he even specifically went to the Land of Water, found the Yuki Clan, secretly captured a few clansmen who had awakened the Ice Release Bloodline Limit, and researched their clan’s Ice Release ability.
Subsequently, he imbued the completed Ice Release power into Irori’s body, forming a Chakra circulation System similar to Ice Release, specifically named ‘Ice Mirror’.
A Chakra circulation System is a simulated meridian System formed using Chakra.
This thing allowed Irori to manufacture Chakra herself and also simulate a Ninja, freely using Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu that came with Chakra.
Of course, this idealized state was only one step away from success.
Whether it was memory, thought, or the wisdom necessary for survival in the world, he had long since assembled these things within Irori’s body.
However, all of this required activation; otherwise, she remained a dead object that needed manual operation with fingers.
And there were two major difficulties in activation.
The first was how to imbue Irori with more powerful vitality.
Relying solely on his own special Chakra was actually difficult to complete independently, so the appearance of the Incomplete Manual of the Yin-Yang Release gave him a new train of thought.
The second was the need for an incomparably huge amount of Chakra.
The first problem had already been solved by Yayoi, but the second…
Yayoi could not grant Irori such massive Chakra, so he had always needed to manually micromanage her.
It was precisely because of this that he focused his gaze on the Tailed Beasts, to plunder the massive Chakra from their bodies.
Thinking of this, Yayoi couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Kakuzu, you are responsible for guarding the vicinity; don’t let anyone get close.” “Yes.” Kakuzu nodded seriously, flashed to the vicinity, and guarded the surrounding environment.
Yayoi then flicked his fingers, and Irori, connected by Chakra threads, stepped forward naturally as if she were a living person.
She stood still in front of the Seven-Tails, her inorganic purple pupils releasing a faint glimmer.
Her snow-white slender hands slowly raised, and she began to form hand Seals slowly and fluidly.
An unprecedented chill struck, and the Seven-Tails’ unconscious body began to tremble violently.
Bright red Chakra fell off its body like mud, rolled, and gathered towards Irori’s body as she formed Seals.
“This…
no…
this…
this is not a Seal…” As its vitality weakened, the Seven-Tails regained a hazy consciousness, and a trembling murmur came from its mouth.
It felt as if something more essential was leaking out from its body along with the Chakra, being absorbed by this girl who had no aura of a living person in front of it.
It could perceive that the Chakra flowing into Irori’s body had its aura seemingly wiped away, not forming any products like consciousness that would interfere with Irori.
The Seven-Tails let out a painful groan.
Its wings wanted to flap, but Irori suddenly raised her snow-white chin, her purple pupils cold and dead, opening her mouth to exhale cold air like white mist.
The Seven-Tails was hit by the cold, shivered, and its body stiffened again, motionless, only able to watch helplessly as its Chakra was taken away bit by bit.
The speed at which Irori absorbed it was not fast, because Yayoi needed to wipe away the consciousness inherent in the Seven-Tails’ Chakra while Irori absorbed it, leaving only the purest Chakra.
This process was like cutting a wound, neither too big nor too small, on a human body and slowly draining blood.
As time passed, the forest fell into the dark of night.
I don’t know how long it had been, the night was about to end, and the eastern sky turned fish-belly white again.
The Seven-Tails, which was originally as big as a small mountain, had now shrunk several times, becoming the size of a house.
For a Tailed Beast, this size and figure could be considered mini.
After a long time, Irori released her hand Seals, and Yayoi also disconnected the Chakra threads.
Irori’s purple eyes were no longer cold and dead, but had a faint light, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, but finally, her brain stung, and she frowned, as if struggling.
“The absorbed Chakra has reached its limit.
If you continue to absorb it, it may cause adverse reactions in your body.” Yayoi nodded slightly and began to form hand Seals with both hands.
“Secret Technique: Life Creation!” As the name suggests, this was a move developed by Yayoi based on his own Chakra with life vitality, combined with the incomplete Yin-Yang Release, to grant life to a Puppet.
Using this technique, the Puppet’s memory, consciousness, thought, and wisdom could be completely unified, perfectly integrated with the body, and formed into a true life.
Irori’s eyes slowly closed, and her white skin began to become transparent, revealing lines releasing green light like circuits, occupying every corner of her body.
That was the Chakra circulation System covering Irori’s whole body.
The Chakra circulation System, like crisscrossing circuits, finally gathered at Irori’s left chest.
Through the Puppet girl’s transparent skin and the fabric of her kimono, one could see an ice-blue round core the size of a heart.
This was the Chakra Core, made of extremely rare Chakra crystals, capable of absorbing and releasing Chakra, and capable of storing a large amount of Chakra.
It gathered the girl’s will, thought, wisdom, and memory.
At the same time, it was the source of life; referring to it as a heart or brain was perfectly fine.
The massive Chakra absorbed from the Seven-Tails began to merge into Irori’s Chakra circulation System, and then converged towards the ice-blue core in the center.
Once this step was completed, Yayoi would not need to provide Chakra or use Chakra threads in the future; Irori would naturally become the ‘Automatic Chakra Puppet’ he expected, acting and fighting autonomously.
And she could refine Chakra autonomously like a Ninja.
Undoubtedly, by the standards of the current Ninja World, this was the pinnacle masterpiece of a Puppeteer.
After half an hour, the light on the girl’s white, transparent skin slowly extinguished, and the numerous Chakra circulation Systems, as well as the Chakra core that existed as a heart and brain, also disappeared into the flesh and blood created by Chakra.
The girl’s tightly closed eyes opened, and her vision began to connect with the brand-new world.
The fragmentary memories in her brain, like a short film playing, connected one after another.
That was the whole process of herself being created from nothing by the Creator.
Besides that, there were memories of being used for combat, training, and being washed after taking off clothes by the Creator.
Subconsciously, the girl’s white face with a faint ruddy complexion showed a brief shy blush.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a short-haired young man wearing a black Ninja outfit and a black coat cape in front of her.
Intense and direct emotions made her open her mouth subconsciously, with infinite affection and joy surging in her heart.
“Don’t be nervous, recall slowly how to speak.” Yayoi looked at Irori, who opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound, and used a gentle tone to soothe her restless and hesitant heart.
Irori nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Yayoi’s instructions to recall the various memories and knowledge in her mind.
Afterward, she opened her mouth again, her voice ethereal and pure.
“Master Yayoi.” “Is there any abnormality in your body?” Irori shook her head.
“How are the operation of thought, and the extraction and use of Chakra?” Yayoi continued to ask.
“Everything is normal.” Irori answered obediently.
Yayoi nodded with satisfaction.
“Then, do you remember what your name is?” “Yes, my name is Irori.” “And your identity?” Irori’s face suddenly became serious and earnest.
“I am Master Yayoi’s daughter, lover, wife, guard, and maid.
Please feel free to use me from now on, Father.” “?” Yayoi looked at the earnest Irori, a blank expression appearing on his face.
Did he…
add such strange thoughts to her?
Yayoi, who couldn’t figure it out, didn’t dwell on it.
He had been out for some time and needed to return to Yomi City quickly.
Now that the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan had united, the establishment of Konoha Village was unstoppable, and there wasn’t much time and space left for him to play his part.
He had to make some preparations to welcome this new era’s torrent.
“Father, how should we deal with the Seven-Tails?” Irori pointed to the Seven-Tails, which was dying and had only one last breath left.
“Take it back.
After it recovers, we will come to use its Chakra to activate future Puppets.” “Are they my future younger brothers and sisters?” Irori tilted her head, revealing expectation and curiosity.
“Yes, but it’s a bit too early to talk about that now.
Kakuzu, you come and carry the Seven-Tails.” With the experience of creating Irori, the subsequent ‘Automatic Chakra Puppets’ would be more convenient to activate.
But considering there were more important things to do, he could only suppress this thought for now, and the Seven-Tails’ Chakra recovery also needed time.
Thus, Yayoi didn’t even look at the Seven-Tails lying on the ground and turned to leave.
Irori followed closely, following right behind Yayoi.
Only Kakuzu looked helplessly at the house-sized Seven-Tails; the transportation work had to be done by him.
Fortunately, the Seven-Tails’ size had been reduced a lot; otherwise, with his strength alone, it would really be difficult to carry.
◎ Land of Fire.
On a huge mountain rock with open terrain, in front was a vast expanse of lush giant forest.
Tall mountains, clear rivers, fertile soil, two men stood on the top of the rock as if nothing had happened, overlooking this paradise.
“How is it, Tobirama?
The place Madara and I chose is good, right?
Next, we are going to build our own Village here.
The name has already been decided by Madara and me; it’s called ‘Konoha’!” The thirty-something-year-old black-haired man looked at the vast forest below, excitement radiating from his pupils, his whole person in a state of high spirits, joy evident in his expression.
Full of beautiful prospects and hopes for the future.
“The place is indeed a good place, but is it really okay to sign an alliance with the Uchiha Clan so rashly, Big Brother?” The white-haired man sighed, looking at his naive big brother.
Since their Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan signed the alliance, he had always felt a stifled breath in his heart that he couldn’t vent.
These two were the current Clan Chief of the Senju Clan, Senju Hashirama, and his younger brother, Senju Tobirama, who was known for his god-like speed.
“What’s wrong with it?
After fighting for so long, everyone should have a good rest.
Whether it is our Senju Clan or the Uchiha Clan led by Madara, we are all tired of war.
I don’t think war is needed in the next era.” A cheerful smile appeared on Hashirama’s face.
“But where there are people, conflict is unavoidable.” “That’s why we should end such a destiny.
In order to let young children grow up carefree, I always feel that something should be done.
If we don’t do it now, it can only be left to the next generation.
Since that’s the case, why not end it in our generation?” Hashirama’s voice was full of seriousness and determination.
“…” Tobirama lowered his head; it was more like he didn’t know what expression to use to face this always naive and optimistic brother than he was in deep thought.
So, he took a deep breath.
“Since that’s the case, do you and Madara have any specific plans?
Just from the Village name ‘Konoha’ that you mentioned, I don’t know what you are expressing at all.
After signing the alliance, what is the next step?
Just developing the Village here?
That’s basically no different from the past, right?” It was just merging the territories of the two clans to form a larger clan scale.
To Tobirama, this still hadn’t changed anything.
“Let more clans in the Land of Fire join in and identify with our philosophy.” Hashirama gave this reply.
“…” Tobirama, who was looking forward to Hashirama’s next move, turned to look at Hashirama, who stopped speaking and just stared at the sunset in the distance, admiring the scenery.
After waiting for a long time, he didn’t hear what Hashirama’s next step plan was.
Tobirama’s face turned dark, and his facial muscles twitched.
No, that’s it?
What about the remaining action plans and guidelines?
Bringing more Ninja clans together, how exactly should the next step go?
Is it really okay just to gather them together?
Are you sure this group of unruly Ninja clans won’t explode when gathered together?
Just the merger of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan would create huge problems, let alone letting more Ninja clans join.
No matter how you look at it, this is an impossible task.
However…
Seemingly thinking of something, Tobirama showed a thoughtful look.
Actually, it’s not impossible to solve.
As long as Hashirama is willing to come forward and reason with them using some ‘logic’, I believe those Ninja clans will definitely be very easy to talk to.
Thus, a little bit of hope appeared in Tobirama’s eyes when he looked at Hashirama.
The merger of Ninja clans requires not only ideas, but a little bit of violence is the key to integration.
“Tobirama, you know, I have never liked resorting to violence against others.
This world is already broken enough.
I want to build a Village where people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Some things cannot be solved by violence.
Peace, I think, should be solved in other ways.” Seemingly guessing Tobirama’s thoughts, Hashirama replied, sighing in his heart at the same time.
As a brother, how could he not understand Tobirama’s extremely realistic style?
Not only the policy of doing things, but even developing Ninjutsu…
His brother seemed to be a bit extreme in many aspects.
Except for Water Release, few of Tobirama’s techniques were ones that normal Ninjas could come up with.
If not for his brother suppressing him, he suspected that Tobirama would sooner or later come up with some big moves that would shock the world.
“…” Tobirama also wanted to sigh.
His brother is so naive, what should he do?
Neither wanting to resort to violence to unite the Ninja clans of the Land of Fire, nor wanting to let them put down their prejudices…
This made it very difficult for him.
This Ninja Village, which is not yet formally established and named ‘Konoha’, what will happen in the future.
For a moment, Tobirama fell into silence.
