Huhu …
The whistling sound produced by the sandstorm continued to echo in his ears, and his vision was dim as if the boundary between heaven and earth was blurred, making people suddenly lose the concept of time, direction, and so on.
Walking in such a harsh environment, even a strong person like Hyōjin felt a little uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the giant Tenseigan in the distant Sky Fortress that has been positioning the direction for him, even if he has Byakugan, he would probably be lost in this sand sea.
"It's really a dangerous place!"
Hyōjin, standing on a sand dune, couldn't help but feel emotional.
It had been a full month and a half since he had decided on the seven locations for the ceremony. During this time, he had visited all seven locations and inspected them one by one. In the end, he eliminated the other six locations and chose the last one in front of him.
Like the other alternative sites, this seventh alternative site is also a continuous sand sea, but it is more remote and more special.
It is special because the ground under this sand sea is very strong.
Even sandworms that could travel freely in the sea of sand would find it difficult to drill through the hard ground. Therefore, not only was this sea of sand deserted, but even creatures like sandworms rarely set foot in it. It was truly a forbidden zone for life.
Moreover, Hyōjin also consulted some literature materials in the Country of Wind and confirmed that this sand sea has no name and there is no history of human activity.
"Byakugan, open!"
Walking to a high vantage point, Kuroto once again activated Byakugan and carefully observed the surroundings.
The extremely harsh environment has advantages and disadvantages for him.
The advantage is naturally conducive to confidentiality and is not easy to be disturbed by the enemy, but the disadvantage is also obvious. In this harsh environment, if he wants to successfully complete the ritual, various protective enchantments are essential.
The cost of arranging the ritual alone is huge. If you include various enchantments to prevent wind and sand on the periphery, it will be very difficult to control the cost. Therefore, Hyōjin must choose a suitable place, otherwise, his budget will explode.
Fortunately, after this period of field investigation, he roughly grasped the law of sandstorms in this sand sea, knew which areas in the sand sea are less affected by sandstorms, and knew when the power of sandstorms will weaken.
Not long after, Kuroto returned to the temporary camp he had set up.
It was said to be a camp, but in fact, it was a two-story building built by Hyōjin using the ninjutsu 'Four Pillars Clan' in the desert.
After stepping into the house, he opened his mask and spat out some fine sand from his mouth. Then, while drinking some water, he carefully made various notes on the map.
"This is it!"
As he spoke, Hyōjin heavily tapped on the map.
The location he had decided on was located in the center of the desert. Not only was it very open, but it was also not on the wind belt. There were about three hours of free time every day, and it would not be disturbed by the sandstorm.
After confirming the location, Hyōjin immediately planned the ritual according to the map.
He had already thought about the preparation for the main part of the ritual. Now, he only needed to use the plan that he had thought about before. As for the other preparations according to the external environment, such as the setting up of various enchantments, he needed to spend more time thinking about it. Because these were uncertain before the actual ritual location was finalized, he did not have a plan before.
"The ritual needs at least a radius of 100 meters, so the enchantment can't be placed too close. That might interfere with the ritual …"
"The wind-proof enchantment is on the inside, and the perception-blocking enchantment is on the outside …"
"Considering the conduction law of Chakra, the perception-blocking enchantment must be placed in a higher position …"
Looking at the layout planned on the map, Hyōjin slightly furrowed his brows.
He had almost prepared the main part of the ritual before the Akatsuki attacked. Even if the ritual location was in the harsh environment of the desert, the budget would at most increase by a few tens of millions.
However, the cost of the enchantment was a little beyond his expectations.
Because of the range and the sandstorm, not only did the enchantment need two layers this time, but it also needed a larger area, which caused the budget to increase exponentially.
Even if Hyōjin chose to use Xiang Yu's black rod as the main material for the enchantment, the cost of two layers of enchantment would probably be more than a few hundred million.
Hyōjin said emotionally, "No wonder even some ninja villages can't maintain the cost of the enchantment. A large-scale enchantment is basically burning money. I'm afraid only the wealthy Muye can afford it …"
Although it was painful to spend so much money, Hyōjin also understood that it was necessary for the ritual to go smoothly. Moreover, he had already thought about the source of the cost.
After planning everything, Hyōjin stayed in the desert for another half a month to further familiarize himself with the environment of the desert. Then, he quietly returned to the Sky Fortress.
After more than two months of running around, not only did he find a suitable place for the ritual, but during the long stay in the desert, his spirit body and the Yang Release clone body also became more and more compatible.
After a little exercise in the practice field, Hyōjin thought, "The compatibility should be enough, the characteristics of the Divine Tree are really amazing!"
When his spirit body entered the Yang Release clone body for the first time, he had a very comfortable feeling. This undoubtedly shows that the Yang Release Chakra that contains the characteristics of the Divine Tree also has the ability to nourish the soul of the Yin Release Chakra, and this is probably one of the reasons why the Hashirama Cell Transplant can restore the lost Mangekyou Sharingan.
Then, Kuroto went to the laboratory, changed back to his Yin Release clone body, and put the fully developed Yang Release clone body into the large nutrition tank.
Then, looking at the clone body soaked in the large nutrition tank, Hyōjin muttered to himself, "At first, I thought that the clone body would be the most difficult to develop, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly."
Thinking about it, such a result is actually quite normal.
After experiencing the cloning and development of the first five clones, by the time it is the turn of the sixth clone, even a fool would have accumulated enough experience and skills.
Therefore, the Yang Release clone body is indeed the most difficult to clone and develop in theory, there is no doubt about this, but the current Hyōjin is no longer the rookie who developed the Water Release clone.
After calming down his mood, Hyōjin slowly left the laboratory, then found Xiang Lin and Gaara, and asked about Sasuke's situation during this period of time.
Xiang Lin quickly replied, "My Lord, Sasuke Uchiha has been staying in his activity area during this period of time, except for a few attempts to perceive the area outside the activity area, there has been no other abnormal behavior."
"Oh, so obedient?" Hyōjin was a little surprised, and asked, "How is the fusion of his pupil power going?"
