The Yin Release power of Moryo not only elevated his mastery over Yin-Yang Ninjutsu to an unprecedented level but also transformed his very soul into something beyond mortality.
To put it simply, this ability was akin to the Otsutsuki clan's "Karma."
His soul recorded his own DNA structure, physique, ninjutsu, and chakra nature—an imprint of everything that made him who he was.
Even outside of a physical body, he could still wield jutsu, taijutsu, and even bloodline limits. The only setback was the lack of additional chakra reserves from a physical form.
And if he were to possess another's body, his soul's imprint would allow him to reshape the vessel entirely, modifying the host's cells until they perfectly matched his own original form.
Therefore, even if his body was obliterated, his strength would remain unchanged upon reincarnation.
The previous enhancements he had achieved in his past body would not be erased upon rebirth.
"The undying future of Yang Release and the immortal soul of Yin Release!"
A deep, almost maniacal laugh escaped him.
"This power is beyond divine! I can even rewrite the DNA of others at will!"
Although the boost in immediate strength was not overwhelming, the horizontal expansion of his abilities was limitless.
As Uchiha Shin cackled, an immense surge of soul energy poured outward.
What was once an intangible existence now became a physical force, a pressure that could be felt, heard, and crushed everything in its vicinity.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The very earth trembled beneath the weight of his power, the landscape sinking beneath the sheer force radiating from his presence.
Even Kurama, the mighty Nine-Tails, felt the oppressive energy weighing down on him, forcing his colossal form to the ground despite his struggles.
"What the hell is this pressure!?"
Kurama's massive frame shook violently as he attempted to break free, but the crushing force pinned him in place. Every living being within a several-kilometer radius succumbed instantly—those weaker than a seasoned shinobi dropped lifelessly, their brains shutting down under the overwhelming spiritual assault.
The only one who managed to resist, even if barely, was Miroku.
Relying on her own formidable Yang Release abilities, she withstood the pressure, though beads of sweat lined her forehead from the effort.
Eventually, Uchiha Shin took notice and reined in his soul energy, ceasing his spiritual fluctuations.
The power of Yin Release had reshaped his soul, causing his willpower to manifest into a tangible force—something akin to a high-level telekinesis ability.
With nothing but a thought, he could move mountains.
Casually, he pointed toward Kurama and conjured a massive roasted turkey leg, at least several dozen meters long, before shoving it into the fox's mouth.
"..."
Kurama, caught off guard, rolled his massive eyes but eventually began gnawing at the offering in silence.
It tasted… surprisingly good.
Despite being a tailed beast with no real need for sustenance, there was no harm in indulging every once in a while.
Watching this, Miroku smiled slightly and placed a gentle hand on Kurama's head.
She could sense the immense power within the Nine-Tails, a lifeform more complete than herself.
Yet, even this mighty creature had bowed before its new "god."
At that moment, Miroku's faith in Uchiha Shin became something far greater, evolving into a tangible force within her own soul.
"Lord Shin, please return with me to the Land of Demons. We shall celebrate your victory."
She extended the invitation with an affectionate smile, her devotion unwavering.
Uchiha Shin, naturally, did not refuse. Not only was he yet to complete his mission of ensuring Miroku bore his lineage, but he had also been deprived of her exquisite company for far too long.
He fully intended to take her to Konoha, build her a temple, and have her reside there as his high priestess. He would ensure that a lineage of priestesses devoted to him flourished under her guidance.
With such plans in mind, Uchiha Shin followed Miroku back to the Land of Demons.
However, his return was met with an unexpected challenge.
The three serpentine sisters had returned.
As humanoid manifestations of white snakes, their expressions at that moment could only be described as predatory.
Tenka smirked. "Lord Shin, I want a round."
Ichikishima grinned. "I'll take one as well."
Tsuru let out a sultry whisper. "Lord Shin, please indulge us."
Their eyes were filled with a hunger that had nothing to do with battle.
Uchiha Shin's eyebrow twitched. They dared to treat him like some sort of farm animal, something to be milked at their leisure?
Oh, they were in for a lesson.
Even if they reverted to their original snake forms, he wouldn't spare them.
If Sun Wukong could beat the White Bone Demon three times, then he would beat these three serpents into submission.
Even without the enhancements of his Sage Transformation, Uchiha Shin outclassed them in pure physical prowess.
The serpentine sisters were masters of Sage Mode and Yin Release, but they were lacking in Yang Release, relying solely on their white snake physiology to compensate.
The Sage Transformation was like the final piece of weight that crushed them.
Just as he had said before, he could afford to pay the price they demanded, but whether they could endure it was another matter entirely.
It was evident that they could not.
Meanwhile, back in the Land of Fire, word of Uchiha Shin's exploits spread like wildfire.
The Fire Daimyo formally declared that their respected emperor, Uchiha Shin, had vanquished the evil that plagued the Land of Demons.
In turn, Priestess Miroku announced that the Land of Demons would now become a vassal state under the Land of Fire, joining it unconditionally.
This rapid expansion, coupled with Uchiha Shin's continued conquests, sent shockwaves through the other great nations.
The rival villages, once hostile toward each other, were now scrambling to form new alliances at an alarming pace.
Sunagakure, in particular, was feeling the pressure and immediately sought an alliance with the Land of Water.
Upon learning of Uchiha Shin's annexation of the Land of Demons, the Mist Village no longer wished to remain idle. However, they were hesitant to fully trust the Sand Village without a show of good faith.
They demanded leverage—a guarantee, a form of collateral.
Faced with the choice between wealth and potential blackmail material, the Kazekage, Rasa, ultimately chose the latter.
After all, money could be lost forever, but blackmail only mattered if one had shame.
As negotiations continued among the various nations, Uchiha Shin, having had his fill of indulgence, finally returned to his greater ambitions.
The three snake sisters had been sent back to Ryuchi Cave, albeit with a significant alteration—their very cells had been modified by his own hand.
He had integrated his DNA into their genetic code, ensuring that their very existence was now tied to his.
If all went according to plan, they should be able to reproduce with him.
As for the dragon priestesses he had created using the power of "Yakitsu," they had been dispatched to Ryuchi Cave for training under the White Snake Sage.
He had neither the time nor the patience to raise them himself.
At most, he would summon them for entertainment when he saw fit.
After all, they were his creations, their loyalty permanently ingrained into their very souls.
However, their lack of emotion made them no different from lifeless dolls.
And that, above all else, left Uchiha Shin thoroughly unsatisfied.
