Chapter 221: The Genome Strengthening Pill

Cutting through the air, Shikamaru climbed several hundred meters into the air. But until he could fly, and gravity took its toll .... As soon as he began to fall, Shikamaru squinted and began to flap with new limbs, the membranes on the wings became thinner and the guy began to fall more and more slowly, gradually he even influenced the bones and changed their structure, heart-rending or vice versa, making them thicker. Making these transformations, he was not at all worried about the situation, but simply slowly calculated the correct proportions for the wings. At the end, when the ground was about twenty meters away, Shikamaru suddenly stopped and loud bangs swept around the area - at last he was able to soar! Its two huge wings shook the air and held Shikamaru in the sky. The three-meter flesh and bone wings with a mass of bloody streaks looked pretty creepy, but they worked!

“Okay ... control of bones, nature, and cells has already been achieved. I really am not a man! Can the Sage of the Six Paths do this? Who knows ... But, I'm on the way to eternity in my existence!

After landing on the ground, the wings and horns were immediately pulled back into the body. Shikamaru sat down again and crossed his legs.

“Anyway, this is just the beginning. I'm also interested in the Blood Genome. If I can manipulate my genes, I might be able to cleanse Inuzuka, or even bestow some of my power on others. But, this is not the main thing ... Perhaps I can take a piece of power even from such entities as tsutsuki. It is definitely worth it, I can control organs, skeleton, cell division, move nerves, organs, but there is still no change in the composition of my own DNA ”- Shikamaru had already decided, in the end, there was little in the system that could attract his attention, at least from the pedigrees. About a year ago, he even bought some important jutsu, as they were so interesting for him then. For a long time, he had not attached importance to the waste that was important. The only problem now is that Blood Release is an extended genome, and they don't depend on bloodlines, so he couldn't buy Ketsueki's bloodline.

Shikamaru hadn’t heard of this clan and didn’t know their abilities, but that wasn’t important now. Due to the age limit, he could not wait twenty years, so either he needed to buy Genome Strengthening Pills, which was not a cheap pleasure - as a result of which Shikamaru would then not be able to buy the necessary pedigree. There was also an option to pick up a reward for a task where this pill was already available, but in this case you would have to accept a New Element. It cost fifteen thousand in the system, so it's probably not that bad, but to take it you need a pure pedigree without genomes, otherwise you can't. There were no pills to increase the space of the Improved Genomes, and this is a problem.

Simply put, you need a pedigree for the genome, and the genome is just a bonus for the sake of a pill, which is needed for another pedigree and an extended genome. So now there was a choice of which pedigree to take so that she would not be as useless as Inuzuka. Of course, it is possible that she is not useless in a mutated state, such as Nara, who opened access to Shadow Release, but now the situation is different and Inuzuka is not Nara, which gave Shikamaru the opportunity to exist at all. So, you need to choose wisely.

“Maybe just combine four genealogies at once? It's also a good option ... but I'll wait a little for now. It is worth rebuilding the tower, and the strength is already enough. You need a strong foundation. ”While thinking about that, Shikamaru looked at several possible bloodlines:

(R) Akimichi - strength 50% → Improved mastery of the element "Yang" - 10% (price 5000)

(R) [Yamanaka - strength 50%] → Improved mastery of the element "Yin" - 10%, improved sensing. (price 5,000)

(R) [Bi - strength 50%] → Improved mastery of the element "Lightning" - 10%, improved innate physical potential + 5 to Strength, Endurance and Speed.

(R) [Yotsuki - strength 50%] → Improved mastery of the element "Wind" - 10%.

(R) [Sarutobi - 50% strength] → Improved control and chakra transformation. +5 control and talent.

(R) [Shirogane - 50% strength] → Ambidexterity, + 5 to control.

(R) [Shimura - strength 50%] → Improved mastery of the element "Wind" - 10%, + 5 to endurance.

(R) [Hatake - 50% strength] → Improved perception, + 5 to talent.

(R) [Hirasaka - strength 50%] → Improved mastery of the element "Yin" - 10%.

(R) [Fuuma - 50% strength] → Increased visual acuity, + 5 to control and speed.

(R) [Codon - strength 50%] → Saigenzai, + 5 to control.

(R) [Kamizuru - 50% strength] → Increased immunity to poisons, + 5 to stamina.

(R) [Aburame - 50% strength] → Special hormones and muscle structure, + 5 to control.

R) [Sanada - strength 50%] → Increased skin density, + 5 to stamina and strength.

...

With a wistful expression, Shikamaru threw away most of the unnecessary at the moment and left the most acceptable:

(R) Akimichi - strength 50% → Improved mastery of the element "Yang" - 10% (price 5000)

(R) [Bi - strength 50%] → Improved mastery of the element "Lightning" - 10%, improved innate physical potential + 5 to Strength, Endurance and Speed.

(R) [Sarutobi - 50% strength] → Improved control and chakra transformation. +5 control and talent.

(R) [Codon - strength 50%] → Saigenzai, + 5 to control.

(R) [Aburame - 50% strength] → Special hormones and muscle structure, + 5 to control.

R) [Sanada - strength 50%] → Increased skin density, + 5 to stamina and strength.

“I have Yamanaka, I never took the award, but Akimichi should be swept aside. There are also lightning bolts, and strength, speed and endurance will not even increase, which means that "B" is useless. Hormones and muscle structure are controversial, since I can influence this and beetles are not interesting to me, only control can cost something, since I did not take a single pedigree to strengthen it. But, in this case, it is more profitable to take Sarutobi. The density of the skin is an interesting thing, I have heard of Sanada and their samurai with very strong skin, which they have almost like a stone. But, it's also controversial, I think it's not worth taking them for the sake of this. It’s not that I need control, but rather it’s not so bad now, and in the future I can take more pedigrees. Saigenzai is also a well-known thing, people of the Kodon clan can transform fluids in their bodies and influence them with Life and Spiritual forces. At least this is possible ... Not bad for me, but what's the use? So in genjutsu I am strong, but I can heal with another method. Well, and control, as already mentioned ... Sarutobi "- stopping at one pedigree, Shikamaru just grinned wryly:

“The old man would be surprised at my choice. Yeah ... - Without thinking twice, Shikamaru pulled out the Gene Expansion Pill and put it in his mouth, as soon as it worked, he immediately spent ten thousand points and acquired the Sarutobi bloodline.

After a short assimilation stage, Shikamaru did not even bother to look at his changes and immediately took the reward for the task of destroying the Root and killing Danz. Quickly removing the received pills, the guy closed his eyes and concentrated. This Release of Light interested him a little, largely because of the price, so he wanted to feel more.
