Chapter 220: New Genome

The lineage list still seemed pretty long. But, Shikamaru was no longer the same as before, because he understood his path well. Of course, he liked to get more varied abilities such as Storm Release, but now was a different time, he wanted to get only the most important and combine it together. Well, and only later, if there is an opportunity, you can do something with other pedigrees. Now he was only interested in strengthening the body and chakra. He's been looking at the list for a long time, so for now he just picked Sakon and Ukon's Genome. Now Shikamaru could merge with trees thanks to the improvement of the cells, but this only concerned trees and for a very short time. With the power of Sakon and Ukon, everything will change. Dividing at the cellular level can be quite useful in the future. Shikamaru could already control a lot in his body, so this ability would be very useful. At least for the purchase, it will clearly be more profitable than some elements.

“Well, in any case, I'll take this Genome, if I find something worthwhile for him ... I like the element of Blood, it can raise my Yang to a terrifying level. After the evolution of Dojutsu, it is too difficult to increase my physical energy potential, so the Yang bloodlines come in handy. The price only bites ... Blood control and cell control ... Yeah, another ability that I might not use. But, if you follow the path of a strong body, you will need to develop your technique, only for me alone. In this case, a lot can work out "- a little reflection. Shikamaru opened a window with recently completed tasks:

"Creator"

"Root"

Rewards: 30,000, Light Release, Genome Strengthening Pill, Bloodline Fusion Pill.

Special Reward: 10,000, Mutation Pill.

“As always ... These awards will last for a long time, the problem is that I need pure pedigrees without genomes to accept the ninth. In any case ... "- without thinking twice, Shikamaru collected most of the awards. Previously, he wanted to postpone it, but quickly changed his mind. In the upcoming reinforcement, it was necessary to take into account every little thing.

After distributing the pills and elixirs among the boxes, Shikamaru immediately concluded:

“It makes no sense to strengthen the elements, among them I am more interested in Yin and Yang, and the rest can be developed in some other way. I want to achieve higher control and a unique chakra, so the transformation is not that interesting. So these elixirs will go to the others ... The mutation pill too, I have already reached the limit, regular pills are useless. Although, funny, the improved emotional outburst pill is a very interesting specimen, of course, not for me, but ... Can it give the Uchiha the opportunity to awaken Mangeky, like me? Logically, it should, but I don't have a suitable candidate, except, perhaps, Sasuke. This is an interesting moment, considering my actions already, I could do something ... Besides, Itachi is not interesting to me, but will Sasuke kill him now? Will he awaken his eyes? Interest Ask. Well, I have insurance. ”Clutching the pill in his hand, Shikamaru nodded glumly and put it in the box with the others, leaving a mark next to it.

- Okay, with this everything is decided, but, two awards did not work out. “Of course Shikamaru was referring to those tasks with Ice and Light Release. He received the first for the awakening of the Eye of the Sun, and the second for the destruction of Danz.

The special awards were mainly related to technicians. This is not surprising, because Shikamaru has long created techniques that are stronger than the "A" rank and are much more dangerous for ordinary people. For example, in Genjutsu, he simply created a technique of absolute immersion, based on the Genjutsu Uzumaki, which he met at that time in the Maelstrom. This Jutsu allowed him to directly send his knowledge into the minds of others, a very useful Jutsu.

Ninjutsu, he created even more than one, based on his abilities to the elements of Metal, which are very toxic and dangerous. And this is only a small part ... In Taijutsu, he just slightly corrected the method of strengthening the body and, in fact, created a new technique. For the current Shikamaru, it was impossible to control the Eighth Gate and the Path of the Sun at the same time, since they used the chakra in a completely different way. It was not worth talking about the Lightning chakra mode, and even more so about the Seven Heavenly Breaths. All this was not so compatible, and even if they could be combined, the gains were too insignificant, and the load was meaningless. For this reason, a new Jutsu is needed, so Shikamaru has already invented the framework. Of course, it is far from the strength that he expected. In addition, he had a Concussion of Bones technique that could directly destroy the human body from the inside, it was also S rank.

The last special reward was for the Danz assassination option. It could be either supported or eliminated, Shikamaru chose the first option. But, there should be a special reward in any case, since this is one of the many tasks with development options. The reward, of course, matched.

“Hmm, after the fusion of the Byakugan and Ranmaru Dojutsu, I got a new Evolution and lost my genome, which merged with the Byakugan. I have free space for one Genome, so for now I will buy Sakon and Ukon. ”Deciding on this, Shikamaru immediately spent ten thousand points and closed his eyes.

A minute later, the process of assimilating the new power began ... Changing cells is not such an easy stage, so it should take time. Disconnected easily from all pain, Shikamaru sank into a strange, controlled sleep state.

Ten minutes later, the entire transformation process was completed. At the same moment, several holes appeared on Shikamaru's back, even the bones bent like worms under the skin and the muscles began to move. He checked the possibilities and when he realized that everything was in order, his body returned to its previous state. Shikamaru sharply opened his gray eyes, and then smiled contentedly.

- It's even better than I thought. Thanks to my past abilities, I am capable of amazing things ... - having given a signal to the bones, dark horns immediately grew on Shikamaru's head, and then amazing changes occurred on the back, two pairs of bones escaped right from the skin, which quickly began to change their appearance, turning into bony wings. Following this, skin ripped from Shikamaru's body and quickly covered these bony growths. The guy smiled again, and then the marks of the sage appeared all over his body, his eyes lit up with golden lights, and he rose, sharply bursting into the sky in one powerful leap.
