[Congratulations Host on gaining the Uchiha Bloodline: Purity 95%]

[Your chakra capacity has increased by 2 times] (It doubled after the increase from Hashirama's bloodline)

[You gained the Ninjutsu talent Grandmaster]

[Your affinity toward Fire, Lightning, and Yin releases has increased by 95%]

[Your Master Taijutsu talent and Medium Hutner Talent have advanced to Grandmaster Level and Your chakra Grandmaster Talent has advanced into Supreme Level!]

[Your clones with this bloodline can surpass the constrictions of their incomplete souls and unlock higher levels of Dojutsu]

Bakorio was speechless for a long time after seeing this, but he knew it was real as he could sense the changes occurring to his body and thought process from his newly improved talents and abilities…

However, the changes didn't stop there as he received another notification

[Your Uchiha's bloodline has surpassed 70% so the dormant effect of Indra's chakra has been acquired by the host: +100% Strength to the user Dojutsu powers and control. -80% Chakra consumption to all Dojutsu-related uses]

Bakorio was flabbergasted, but this wasn't even the end of the notifications as he felt heat rushing to his eyes causing them to turn completely purple with many swirls appearing inside them…

"I finally reached this point… But I can still grow much stronger!" Bakorio's eyes flickered in delight and he directly ordered his clones to start training on the evolved Mangekyo powers once they end up dealing with Isshiki…

Flashback ends…

"It won't be long before you will fall into my grasp… Jashin!" Bakorio muttered coldly before he closed his eyes and refocused on strengthening his body again…

….

Meanwhile, after going back to Konoha, Bakorio was intrigued by the abilities Mukai gained so he asked him directly "Mukai, what the hell is up with that third eye of yours, and how did you manage to absorb this bloodline and inherit its powers?"

Mukai didn't hide anything from Bakorio and simply shrugged and replied "That guy Isshiki is no slouch, he actually captured a Dragon General, an SS+ ranked beast if judged by your standards, and in the hope of strengthening my body so that I can become a suitable vessel for him, he injected me with something they called the Dragon core…"

Bakorio's eyes flickered slightly as he thought 'It seems like that doctor might prove to be useful if he could actually discover that the Dragons' power comes from these weird cores they have…'

Then he heard Mukai continue his explanation "At first I was overwhelmed by the power of that Dragon's core and bloodline, but then my own bloodline seemed to react and it actually started fighting back and devouring the Dragon's bloodline… I don't know how that happened though… However, knowing that my fate would have been quite bad if they realized my achievement, I made it so that the fight between the two bloodlines reaches a stalemate and make it appear as if it was a failure until you came, that's when I resumed the merging and I gained these abilities…"

Bakorio nodded at him in admiration and said "Do you know what it's called?"

Mukai nodded calmly and replied "Yes, this eye is called Panlong, So far, I only know that it can make me skip preparations when I want to cast a Jutsu, but it's very consuming on my chakra supply to use… I also gained a Dragon body that greatly raised all of my attributes, but especially defense… In fact…"

Mukai paused slightly causing Bakorio's curiosity to intensify before he said "I believe I can now open the 8 gates without dying, although I can only sustain it for a very short amount of time"

"This…" Bakorio was shocked at this revelation before he patted Mukai on the shoulder and said "you are amazing…"

"Ahum, well I'm going to see my family now, see you around" Before he disappeared quickly bringing a smile to Bakorio's face…

He felt happy, everything was going according to his plans and even better as he was continuously growing stronger whether it is by training or completing quests such as befriending the tailed beasts…

"Soon, everything will be over…" Bakorio muttered with a slight smile on his face before he moved back home and started checking on his various businesses with Mikoto and Kushina…

However, something that was happening in the dark was way out of his expectations, including the disappearance of a certain 10 tails that was hidden in Kara's dimension, all under the veil of darkness…

As for Isshiki, he struggled tirelessly inside Bakorio's soul prison to no avail so he eventually calmed down and started thinking "How? How did he brand me with those binding seals without me realizing?"

The sequences of the fight repeated themselves in Isshiki's head, and eventually, he recalled when he split Bakorio's head in half and watched him transform into a white substance before exploding with a smirk on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but widen in shock…

"Don't tell me… He didn't explode all of his body at that time, and instead turned some parts of it into microscopic clay clones that used the explosion as cover and branded me with the seals before they got absorbed… How cunning, I underestimated this human… but it won't be over, someone will definitely come to investigate this world, and once the clan takes action, nothing will be able to stop them…"

Isshiki was right, Bakorio actually used Deidara's unique explosive clay to create this Jutsu, and it was almost impossible to defend again. Still, he wasn't planning to give up any time soon and started sending a unique signal through his soul so that other Otsutsuki members can find him… However, did such a thing really skip Bakorio's notice…

….

3 years passed in the blink of an eye…

The world during this time had seen great changes… Stronger demons were appearing making the defense that consisted of the tailed beasts, not enough anymore. Similarly, the devils emerging from hell kept growing stronger and stronger and now even the weakest of them require a Jonin or a team of Chunin to face.

Strong beasts started gathering together under the leadership of SS or higher beasts and formed danger zones that no man can step on without risking losing their lives.

And the dead became more active than ever as they kept taking advantage of their immortality to terrorize the world, they even banded with the beasts to make sealing them even more difficult.

However, just as the dangers of this world were getting bigger, those defending it also grew stronger, whether it be the younger generation or the old one. However, this also made the people realize that the final battle was getting closer and closer…

…

Currently fighting a bunch of beasts, Sogetsu casually froze a few undead Jonin before turning his attention to the demons that were trying to break through their defense "Neji, any updates on when help is going to arrive?" Sogetsu asked calmly while staring at the sea of demons that had multiple Kage levels among their ranks and even two above that level!

"The nearest squad is still 10 minutes away from here…" Neji replied prompting Sogetsu to fix his sight on the two SS rank demons and say "I will leave the squad for you to command, I will deal with those two monsters first"

"But Sogetsu, they are too strong, let me come help you" Lee suddenly requested to assist Sogetsu, but he simply shook his head and said "No, there are plenty of strong demons, just focus on surviving and protecting the rest of the squad"

Then, Sogetsu smiled slightly and rushed at the two demons while the peaceful demon kept whispering in his ears with a tempting voice "Do you want help…"
