Chapter 222: Blood Release

Some time later ... The Release of Light finally showed itself.

Basically, nothing has changed, rather Shikamaru was able to transform Fire and Lightning into a new element - Light. Fast, dangerous and bright.

Shikamaru thought for a little, and then abruptly began to fold the combined hand seals of fire and lightning, simultaneously affecting the chakra. Following this, he sharply extended his hand and a bright purple beam immediately shot out of it. It cut through the air with terrifying speed and slammed into the wall. Not a trace of adamantium remained, Shikamaru immediately nodded in satisfaction.

“The temperature depends on the brightness, it can be somehow regulated ... An interesting skill, especially when you understand how it works with ultraviolet light. It will be possible to practice later - the speed of these rays even surpasses a storm and lightning. Although, I suppose they lack fluidity, so I doubt I can give them a decent shape. Well, at least something ... In any case, I didn’t take this award for this - I need a pill and now I have it ”- with a satisfied look, Shikamaru took out a dark pill to strengthen the Genome and without thinking twice threw it into his mouth. Just a minute later, the status changed:

Extended Genome (1/2):

- Metal Release → 70%

- Evolution: absent

Even so, Shikamaru felt the increased limits so. Now the limitations of body and lineage were obvious to him. He knew that he was at some difficult border and could not break these shackles in order to get more opportunities to change himself. But, it was necessary to go forward, even so.

As soon as the opportunity to take the second genome appeared, Shikamaru immediately spent fifty thousand points on Ketsueki's bloodline. Thus began another difficult hour of assimilating an important power ...

*

In the moonlight, a naked man sat up to his waist on a huge dark platform. A strange crimson sphere swirled in his hands and he watched it intently. Her view was mesmerizing. It was like a planet wriggling in her hand and shimmering in different shades of red - giving rise to multiple patterns on its surface, which quickly blurred. Finally, the man's burning eyes sparkled brightly, and the sphere turned into bloody threads, which followed through his fingers into his body, leaving no drop behind.

In the moonlight, the man's skin seemed to sparkle, and his two golden eyes burned like stars. Finally, their light faded, several silvery lines flashed under Shikamaru's skin, creating an amazing glowing pattern in the form of veins all over his body, and then it was immediately extinguished.

Standing up, Shikamaru nodded contentedly.

- Finally, everything is ready. I already feel the limits, thanks to so many forces I see these boundaries more and more clearly. There is very little left, but I want to wait. Although my body has recovered from stress, I need to learn a little about how to control these forces.

The status has undergone big changes, it is not surprising, because Shikamaru, immediately after receiving a new one from the Extended Genomes, strengthened the recently purchased bloodlines. As a result, Water Release reached almost two hundred percent, and Shikamaru knew firsthand how difficult it was to advance after one hundred and fifty percent. The benefits are obvious. Although, the most important thing, perhaps, concerned exactly the Release of Blood, which, even when not pumped, was quite strong. Shikamaru could control his blood as he liked, even create a mass of new, simply by acting on the bone marrow. Having learned the power of blood manipulation, he came close to that very cherished desire to influence genes. The path has just begun. Now he decided to postpone mergers once again. He had plans to deal with the upcoming exam and get the necessary DNA for the resurrection. Orochimaru has a role to play. In the end, if everything goes according to the desired scenario - after supposedly Naruto Uzumaki leaves Konoha with Jiraiya, calm days of exploration will begin. Now there is more important work.

Lifting his head to the heavens, Shikamaru only grinned ominously and immediately evaporated, leaving no shadow behind. He continued to wait and prepare.
