"If there's anything you need, please let us know." The Sound Four didn't dare to be the least bit presumptuous. Whether it was because of Orochimaru's order or Ryoha and the others giving them a huge sense of oppression, they all seemed very humble.
"I understand. You can leave now. Go back and report to Orochimaru." Ryoha waved his hand. After the Sound Four left, he looked at Bulma. He cast a genjutsu and Bulma immediately entered Ryoha's genjutsu world. There were some secrets that he wanted to share only with Bulma.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the people around him, but it was for the safety of Bulma, himself, and the others. At the very least, before Ryoha's strength reached a sufficiently strong level, he absolutely couldn't reveal anything.
If others knew that he could use all sorts of abilities with Bulma's help, then with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to protect Bulma at all. If others knew about this, then Bulma would be in great danger. After all, there were no airtight walls in the world, so it was safer inside the genjutsu world.
"What's the matter, Bulma?" This genjutsu world was quite ordinary, but the conversation here would not leak out.
"After the genes in your body devoured all the advantages of Wood Release, a powerful devouring ability appeared. It could devour all other genes. Of course, if the foreign genes you devoured were stronger than the genes in your body, you would have to go through my assistance to control the foreign genes before you could succeed."
"But for now, as your strength continues to increase, the genes in your body will also become stronger. In other words, under normal circumstances, you will not need much help from me."
"As long as I inject the genes of the Bloodline Limit you want into your body, the genes in your body will automatically devour them. After obtaining all the useful stuff from the foreign genes, you will evolve, and your genes will be stronger."
"Of course, if the foreign genes are stronger than the genes in your body, I will have to help you devour them. Otherwise, if I don't help you with that, your genes will collapse due to the inability to devour them. "
Bulma explained the latest condition of Ryoha's body. At the same time, she let out a sigh of relief. After all, the gene-devouring process was quite hard. Every time Ryoha had to swallow a Bloodline Limit's genes, she had to prepare a lot of things beforehand.
If the foreign genes were not stronger than Ryoha's genes, she didn't need to prepare much. She only needed to deliver the foreign genes needed to Ryoha's genes safely and let it devour them.
Of course, even so, Ryoha still couldn't obtain a new Bloodline Limit without Bulma. Without her, how could he obtain the Bloodline Limit's genes? It was even more impossible for him to send the corresponding genes to his own body to be devoured.
He still needed Bulma's technology to completely dissolve the body of the ninja with the Bloodline Limit he wanted. Then, through Bulma's technology, he would be able to send the corresponding Bloodline Limit's genes to his own genes.
But no matter what, it wasn't as troublesome for Ryoha to obtain other Bloodline Limits since Bulma's help saved a lot of effort.
"You are not going to tell me just that, are you?" It didn't matter if Bulma told him about these things or not. In any case, he didn't understand anything about this aspect. Anyway, he only knew that his current achievements were largely thanks to Bulma's help. Bulma had been indispensable to him, yet she never asked for any help in return.
"Of course not. I am telling you this so that you can be mentally prepared. Although your strength has not awakened yet, Wood Release's genes no longer exist in your body. Instead, you have already devoured them all. Then, your genes will evolve according to Wood Release's genes to a kind of body that is most suitable for you to use."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I want to tell you that the genes in your body have completely stabilized, and now you can get your third Bloodline Limit. How about it? Have you chosen any Bloodline Limit yet?"
Bulma mischievously glanced at Ryoha and blinked at him. Her words first caused Ryoha to be stunned, and then he became ecstatic. Devouring and merging foreign genes was not that simple.
Even if Ryoha's current genes underwent another evolution after devouring Wood Release's genes, his own body already had the ability to devour and evolve. In many places, there was no need for Bulma to personally control everything like in the beginning.
However, Bulma had told Ryoha that regardless of whether it was now or in the past, every time he devoured foreign genes, his body couldn't devour another type of Bloodline Limit's genes during the evolutionary process.
He had to complete the process and stabilize his body first. After the process was completed, only then would he be able to proceed with the next devouring process.
Now that Bulma said this, she didn't mean that Ryoha's actual combat strength would increase again despite being stuck under the pseudo-Kage or Kage level.
"Haha, that's great." Ryoha had always been distressed that he still had not broken through that barrier. His level didn't increase, but it did not matter as long as his actual combat strength was improved. Now that Bulma said this, it was equivalent to solving Ryoha's urgent need. As long as he got a new type of Bloodline Limit, his actual combat strength would be improved again.
In his excitement, Ryoha got carried away. The genjutsu world he created immediately disappeared. Ryoha excitedly hugged Bulma and cheered, making Tsunade, Haku, and Byakko on their side puzzled. Why was Ryoha suddenly so happy?
"Hehe, you will know soon. I will give you a surprise." Ryoha said with a bit of a smirk. His proud look almost made Tsunade rush over and punched him.
However, thinking that her ist was too powerful, she was worried that she could kill Ryoha with one punch, so she forced herself to hold back. However, even so, Tsunade's curiosity was still aroused by Ryoha's antics.
Just when Orochimaru began to plan to steal the Third's body from Konoha and take Sasuke with him, Jiraiya had failed in bringing Tsunade back with him.
So he did not want Konoha to be without a leader. Moreover, there were many hidden enemies in Konoha, and he did not want Konoha to be destroyed. No matter how unwilling he was, he still stayed and became the Fifth Hokage under the persuasion of Koharu and Homura.
