Flying with the Kujaku Method through the star chakra was a bit odd Daiki had to admit. He'd never personally done it in his original physical body, and left it up to his clones to perfect the technique…and its many variations.
It was not actually flying in the traditional sense when one thought of flying with a technique or ability. But rather, he had clad himself within his chakra like a shell of chakra aura that highlighted the shape of his body, akin to a plane and carried himself through the air with the chakra.
To be perfectly honest the Kujaku method wasn't all that complicated as far as chakra techniques went. In act, it didn't even come close to the complexity of the Rasengan.
It was simply a technique for shaping chakra that had been enhanced by the star chakra of the fallen meteor from the Star Village, not only making the users chakra more potent and stronger, but denser as well, and by concentrating it, compressing the chakra it was able to take on a corporeal, solid form.
That was probably why the various uses of the Kenjaku method, were based on physical items like ropes, blades weapons and even full on animals.
As it was, at the end of the day, it was still flying.
And it wasn't long before Daiki was soaring through the air towards the Land of Waves, carrying a completely nonplussed purple haired Special Jonin bridal style.
"Hmm…" Anko hummed, arms wrapped around his neck, but her pupilless eyes on the ground multiple hundreds of feet below, "You know, I thought flying would be more exciting than this."
They were so high they weren't all that far from the clouds. In fact, they were nearly a thousand feet in the air by his estimates.
Daiki raised a brow at her, taking his eyes off of the horizon to look down at her, it wasn't like there were any obstacles in the air anyway, "What do you mean?" he asked.
Frankly, he thought it was pretty neat.
Anko shrugged, "I mean, it's kinda cool cruising through the air and all, but if I really wanted to be this high up I could just jump you know?"
Well, she wasn't wrong.
Honestly, sometimes he forgot how truly absurd his and other ninja's physical abilities truly were, even with the memories of his other life, he was just so used to it.
"I mean, we can go at it again after the mission," Daiki pointed out, "Can try out some tricks like going in loop de loops or going super high, we can even go to space if you want."
And wasn't that an odd thing to think about. If he really wanted to, he could fly to the god damn moon if he wanted with this technique. Sure he couldn't exactly move at his complete maximum speed in flight like this right now, so in a straight path he was slower at flying than just flat out running, but the distance between the moon and Earth from his other life, was just a bit below four hundred thousand kilometres.
At his top flight speed, he could make that in a few hours at most easy.
…and that was another thing he needed to look into. Why could they breathe in space, a vacuum, but not underwater?
The physiology of his people were just damn weird.
'Heh, maybe we're part alien like Frieza or something and that's why we can do it.' he snorted.
"…Well that might be fun, I can't jump that high," Anko grinned, before shaking her head, "But let's get serious for a minute brat. You've told me about the Kubikiribocho, and the old man has told me to follow your lead for this mission for the most part, but what else have you got planned for when we get to the Hidden Mist?"
Alright, time for seriousness then.
"Brute force," Daiki replied, making her eyebrows rise higher, but she didn't interrupt and waited for him to continue, "Specifically we already start from the position of strength in negotiations because quite frankly, we're the strongest village."
The biggest threats of all towards the Leaf were Onoki himself and Killer Bee. Onoki's particle jutsu was just that bullshit powerful, and of course Killer Bee was a full on S-rank shinobi himself before ever taking Gyuki and him being a perfect Jinchuuriki into account.
Even as they were now, Daiki was sure he and Isobu could not beat them in a one on one fight. But at the end of the day, even A the Raikage was more of a non issue compared to them. And more so, they didn't need to bed dealt with by him either.
Even if Mist, Cloud and Stone teamed up to take Konoha on, he was sure Konoha would win. The most stand out threats were as said Onoki and Killer Bee, but beyond them the only true stand outs were Mei Terumi and A the Raikage.
But between old man third, Danzo, Jiraiya, Kakashi and Gai, they could be dealt with. Especially with Tenzo or Yamato or whatever he preferred in the back pocket, he would be real trouble for Killer Bee.
As long as they were waylaid, that would leave Daiki himself free to rampage as he pleased, and with the Shinkugan and the ability to fly, he attack villages remotely as he pleased. The ability to hide his chakra as he pleased and enter bijuu mode instantly and use the Bijuudama with all the backing of Isobu, meant there was little they could do to stop him beforehand.
Unlike the flowery way villages acted like the Jinchuuriki were a war deterrent, he was like a true nuke.
One Bijuudama that they were unprepared for, that was all it would take to ruin even one of the great five elemental villages. And as soon as he did, he could flee and go to another village after completely disappearing from both view and senses.
He was a legitimate stealth nuke.
That was of course not even taking into account that Onoki and A hated each other so an alliance was unlikely, especially because Killer Bee would be needed to attack from the forefront and A would never allow that.
"If Mei Terumi is intelligent at all, she'll realise that and understand at the very base that an alliance with us will be a massive benefit for her village," Daiki continued onwards, "The problems are of course me holding the Sanbi and the Kiba Blades that I don't plan to give up at all, but I'll be bringing them Kubikiribocho to soften that blow a bit. On top of that, one of their top ninja have a Bykugan that was stolen from us, if they want to demand any of what I have back, I'll demand the Byakugan from him. And of course there's the kicker that I came into possession of the Sanbi and the Kiba Blades when one of their missing ninja planned to attack Konoha, so they have no fault but their own."
"Mmmm," Anko hummed thoughtfully, "Pretty logical and well thought out, the only problem is ninja villages aren't exactly logical when it comes to this kind of thing, if they were the great shinobi wars would have never happened."
The great shinobi wars happened because Hashirama was a hippy, and when he died, and Madara was presumed dead as well, the other shinobi nations with their jinchuuriki in pocket thought they were contenders for the big dog ribbon.
They were not.
"Well, I've got more up my sleeve," Daiki shrugged, "Like I know where the rest of their missing swords are for instance."
"You do?" Anko blinked, "How'd you find that out? That's a big mystery a lot of people have been curious about for a while, where'd a brat like you come across that knowledge? The Sanbi?"
"Well, technically I guess," Daiki smirked, "Actually, it was part of the information I got from your old sensei. He has them, alongside a lot of others things that I wouldn't mind taking from him personally."
Like that horn of Gyuki for instance.
With it, that previous jinchuuriki of the eight tails before Bee, Fukai was able to enter a full version two state. And not a lower tier one like the Gold and Silver brothers, where they could reach six tail states from the amount of chakra they got from Kurama.
But rather a full eight tailed version two state.
He assumed it could grant the full eight tailed version two strength, since it was a large piece of Gyuki's body, and had the same output, it just did not have the same store of energy the full Gyuki's body had.
Either way, it was a potent item that lacked the true will of the bijuu and would be much easier to tame. If he got his hands on it, Daiki could give it to Isobu to empower him, or even possibly make a psuedo jinchuuriki of his own choice.
He wasn't sure who he'd pick, but Kakashi for instance with the ability to enter a full eight tailed version two state, would make for quite the strong ally to have on his side. And it would also go a long way to mitigating the problem he had with his sharingan.
Or perhaps Sasuke? A pseudo-Jinchuuriki Sasuke, considering his sheer potential would be amazing for the future if he couldn't stop the revival of Madara. He for sure was going to try his damn hardest to stop it from ever occurring, but it was best to plan for the worst.
"…Of course it was him," Anko sighed, "Why am I even surprised? Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if he mind controlled Itachi or something and made him slaughter the Uchiha clan or did it himself in disguise."
Yeah, funnily enough, even with all the knowledge of this world he had, if he was told that he'd believe it.
Orochimaru was just that guy.
It wasn't long before they arrived in the Land of Waves. Barely even approaching a half an hour even at a casual speed.
The distance between Konoha and the Land of Waves after all, was merely a thousand and five hundred miles give or take a few.
And even that was boosted a bit by them taking a bit to find the exact location of Zabuza and Haku's graves.
The graves as it turned out, weren't far from the massive bridge known as 'The Great Naruto Bridge', just across the water, and a little bit into the forest beside the shore.
"I can't believe that brat has a bridge named after him," Anko snorted after they landed on the shore and made their way through the forest towards their target, "The kid was alright I guess during the second round, but not really anything special, pretty sure I was stronger at the same age."
"Probably, though you'd have a tough time with him now," Daiki shrugged, "I helped him get a little bit of control of the Kyuubi's power yesterday, with it he should be well capable of crushing your standard jonin."
It was weird to say 'standard' or even 'average' when it came to Jonin, they were the elite of the world. Less than five percent of shinobi ever reached such strength, but that was just how things were for Jinchuuriki, especially the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.
Even in his own base state, in a pure on physical fight, Daiki would lose to Naruto in his one tailed state as he was currently.
"I ain't a standard jonin, that's Kurenai, hell I'd put her below your average jonin," Anko rolled her eyes, "I think I could take him even with it, especially after I got full control of this." as she finished speaking, familiar black flame like marks spread across her body in its entirety and she smirked at him.
The fully controlled curse mark level one. And without the shard of Orochimaru in it, probably more potent than the standard one the likes of the Sound Four had by his own estimates.
"Been training with it huh?" he noted, the ease she pulled on it with was telling, and he could see with his eyes as the chakra running through her tenketsu strengthened, "You know there's actually a second stage to the cursed seal, it makes it even stronger though when using it, it tends to give you a weird ass transformation. One of Orochimaru's little boy toys even grows a tail."
Anko blinked, before snorting, "I'm assuming you've got it then? You do love bragging about getting your hands on all this crap after all, trying to rub your superiority in again?"
"I actually don't," Daiki replied, shaking his head, "…I could get, but I don't wanna. It would look really stupid with my jinchuuriki forms." he admitted, looking away.
Anko burst out laughing, "Is that right? Don't wanna look less cool huh?" she teased, "And you wonder why I call you a brat."
"Not just that," Daiki protested but didn't look back and keep his eyes on the foliage of the forest, "…There's this chick that works for Orochimaru, part of his little guard operation. When she takes the second form, she fills out more, her skin turns dark and she grows horns, she looks kinda of like a demon actually. And well…."
He didn't even need to finish, Anko's laughter became louder and louder, pure on hilarity, "Want a little human dominating demon roleplay huh brat?" she guffawed, and he turned back to see her pointing at him, laughing so hard tears came to her eyes, "Lemme guess, you wanna use those horns like handlebars as well huh?"
"…How'd you know that?" Daiki couldn't help but gape at her.
"Kid please, you aren't that deep," Anko continued laughing, waving her arm at him in a wishy washy manner, "I spent more than twelve hours getting railed cross eyed by you, you were loving dominating me, making me call you daddy and shit. The second you said she had horns and looked like a demon, I clocked on."
He felt his cheeks heat up.
He wasn't that predictable was he?
"You wanna try and get the second form?" he raised an eyebrow at her, "Maybe I'll get lucky and you'll get the same kind of form."
"Oh no, another twelve hours getting railed stupid after a power up, I'm so scared," Anko snorted, "Kid, don't threaten me with a good time."
Just as Daiki was about to retort with a real zinger, they stepped into a clearing, and a pair of crude grave markers came into view.
They were simple, roughly hewn small wooden crosses. One with a sash wrapped around it, and the other, a massive blade that even stabbed into the dirt towered into the air above both graves.
It may have been named the Decapitating Carving Knife, but the Kubikiribocho was more akin to a buster sword in Daiki's opinion. It was absolutely huge, taller than both he and Anko were.
Over six feet in length by his estimates.
"Damn, so that's the sword wielded by the Demon of The Hidden Mist, huh?" Anko whistled, "Man no wonder weaklings shit themselves from him, a big fucker hurling around a beast of a blade like that, even I might have been a bit afraid of him….when I was eight years old."
"Well aren't you a big badass." Daiki snorted and made his way over to the grave.
"A sexy badass actually, but you already knew that considering how you couldn't get enough of me." Anko corrected.
"Guess so." Daiki shrugged.
Usually, he would fire back with some witty banter, being the king of epic wit that he was, but his attention was fully drawn by the blade.
He wrapped his arm around the hilt and with a slight tug, pulled it free from the ground and lifted it high up into the air, "…This is…" he frowned, staring at the blade.
Specifically, his eyes were on the handle of the blade.
Just like the Kiba Blades, with the Shinkugan, he could see straight inside it, and see that like them, there were seals within the handle of the blade.
There was a lot less of them than the Kiba Blades, and they were less complicated than the ones within the Kiba Blades, though they were still very advanced seals.
Making seals that small for instance in the first place was a stupidly advanced skill and one of the basis for his Bloodline Usurpation Seal.
If it was the him of just over a month ago, he'd have been completely lost on the seals within.
The fact he could more or less understand them, was a testament to how far he'd come as a user of fuinjutsu he was sure.
'It seems to be an absorption type seal, that then amplifies the purity of what it absorbs, in this case completely taking in the iron and chakra from blood and using it to generate more of the blade.' he mused.
He'd wondered before why the Kubikiribocho couldn't just restore itself with normal metal or something. He'd solved that with this examination of the blade.
After all, the Kubikiribocho it seemed, was completely made out of neutral chakra metal. The kind that could really only be found in large quantities in the land of iron.
And a lot of it had been used in the formation of the blade.
What an absurd weapon!
Who the hell made this thing!?
This thing could literally easily be used to create an unlimited supply of neutral chakra ore!
Of course the amount of blood it needed was absurd, and the sheer potency of the chakra in the blood would effect it as well. The iron in the blood formed the shape, the chakra in the blood gave it the effect.
Such an amazing blade!
….But if he could reverse engineer it, which he was sure he could given some time, like a week or so to work on it alone, he could gain an unlimited stock of neutral chakra ore.
"Hey," he took his eyes off the blade in his hand and turned to Anko, "How about we make camp here for the night?"
"Why?" Anko raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms, "Weren't you the one who said you wanted to get all this done with quickly and that's why you pulled your flying shit outta your ass?"
"That was before I realised how absurd this sword is," Daiki replied shaking his head, "Check this out." he said.
He held out his other hand, summoning one of the kiba blades into it and a moment later a buzzing aura of lightning chakra surrounded it.
He swung with all his might, and a screeching buzz echoed through the forest as the lightning fang blade clanged against it, before slowly beginning to carve through the metal of the blade itself.
"W-what the hell are you doing idiot?!" Anko gaped at him, but she didn't move to stop him.
He didn't reply and grit his teeth as he forced the blade through bit by bit, until a few seconds later, half of the massive buster blade dropped to the ground, sawed in half by his attack.
"Watch." Daiki repeated, bringing the jagged end of the cut blade up as he returned the Kiba blade to the Dimension Force Seal-
Before raking it down the entire length of his arm, a massive gash been torn down the length of his arm, an eruption of blood spraying out through the air and a bunch of it coating the blade.
"Brat what the hell are you doing!? Have you lost your mi-" Anko stepped forward to stop him, only to stop and gape even more as the jagged blade in his hand, absorbed the blood and before their eyes, regrew a few centimetres of the blade it had lost, "…What the absolute fuck just happened?"
Daiki grinned massively, "The ability of this blade is to absorb blood with chakra in it and regenerate the blade if broken," he explained, "And this blade itself is made from neutral chakra ore, so it's a chakra blade. Normally this would be impossible, but with my regeneration I can basically-"
"You can make free chakra ore…" Anko finished for him, mouth hanging low for a moment before a massive excited smile spread across her face, "Holy shit kid, this is incredible!"
More than she knew actually.
He had a bunch of chakra blades he stole from those punks in the Village of Artisans within the Land of Loot. Once he recreated the seals within the Kubikiribocho he could apply them to all of them.
And more or less, thanks to his own absurd regeneration and chakra amount, he could farm chakra blades of all elements infinitely, if slowly.
But that wasn't just it either.
With access to free chakra ore of all types, he could actually experiment on something. He'd had the thought a while ago but dismissed it.
His chakra armour. It had such a perfect blend of wind and water chakra, it could reproduce the ice style. In fact, it flat out amplified both of those elements as well.
If he could get the ratio done right, he could have a perfect blend of all five elements, and then seal them inside himself!
Not only would that amplify his elemental techniques, but also!
Ice Style, Magnet Style, Scorch Style, Boil Style, Magma Style, Mud Style, Storm Style-
Perhaps even Particle Style and more would all be within reach!
…Or was that Dust Style?
A sigh echoed within his head, 'Looks like I'm going to need to expend a lot of chakra to keep you in good enough shape to not exhaust yourself doing this.' Isobu noted.
'I'll make your pond bigger.' Daiki promised in return.
'Fine, though I want a little more lily pads, and a nice little tunnel part where I can go when I want to sleep, also I want some koi.' Isobu replied.
Fair enough, fair enough.
"Damn…I wasn't expecting this." Daiki whistled as he stared at his status window the next morning.
'You should have,' Isobu yawned, 'You expended the entirety of your chakra more than ten times over. You literally regenerated that blade a hundred and eighty six times.'
That he did. Daiki glanced away from the status screen to the giant buster blade stabbed into the ground beside him, fully whole once more. He'd just finished up not long ago, and had been at it for nearly twenty four hours, with a few breaks in between to eat and rest a little bit.
He now had a full on hundred and eighty five halves of Kubikiribocho within the seal upon his palms.
A full on near six thousand pounds on neutral chakra ore. Considering a mere twenty pounds of it would be enough to make a good full chakra blade, and neutral chakra ore blades were the most expensive, he was sitting on a literal gold mine right now.
And that wasn't the only fruit of his labour.
He glanced back at the status screen and felt a massive green spread across his face.
Because, he'd finally done it!
Broken into the two hundred thousand mark with his chakra!

Forget breaching it, he'd jumped right over it because of the sheer amount of chakra he'd expended with Isobu's help, his chakra coils had been taxed heavily.
Honestly, they literally ached a bit right now because of the massive growth they went through through the night through this brute force method.
And that wasn't all either. The hundred clones that weren't dedicated to working on the Bloodline Usurpation Seal inside Isobu's personal dimension, had managed to get the Shadow Of The Dancing Leaf Down and bring his fire style training up to the adept tier!
He glanced to his side, peering through the distance of the forest to see Anko on her way back, and dismissed his status screen, before reaching over to the massive blade at his side and sealing it within the Dimension Force Seal.
With that done, he began to stretch out his body,
A few moments later, Anko returned to the clearing and noted instantly the absence of a blade, "Oh, you done then? Can we finally get a move on?" she asked, "Seriously, amazing as that was, watching you cut yourself over and over got boring real fast."
For all her dedication to the mission, nobody was immune to boredom.
"More or less," Daiki shrugged, "I just have one more thing to take care of, but it'll only take a minute or two." he replied as he continued stretching.
"Oh thank fuck for that," Anko groaned, "Seriously, you're so weird kid. I was so bored I was literally inviting you to take me to pound town again, but you barely even paid me attention!"
She did indeed.
That was how bored she was.
"You wouldn't even make a clone to do it!" she whined.
He shrugged, "The grind always comes first and I needed every bit of chakra."
"I hate you." Anko pouted.
"Cool story bro." Daiki replied with a smirk, finishing his stretches quickly, before turning on his heel and making his way towards the twin graves at the end of the clearing.
Anko huffed, rolling her eyes, "Don't tell you want to pay your respects or something?" she asked.
"To some random missing ninja I never even met?" Daiki scoffed, "No, I just want some of their flesh." he said as he formed a familiar hand seal and spawned a small group of shadow clones into existence.
That immediately began digging up the graves of Zabuza and Haku.
"…You what?" Anko stared at him blankly.
"There's a special jutsu I'll soon have access to when we get back to the village," Daiki explained as the ground was torn up in just a few moments, exposing two rotting corpses, "I need the dna of dead people to use it though."
It had only been a few months since their deaths, so the corpses were mostly intact. Even if they were half eaten and infested with maggots. They weren't as bad as Shisui's corpse was though, and only stank half as bad.
"You know kid, if you weren't so obsessed with tits and ass, I'd think you were my old bastard of a sensei in a new flesh suit." Anko shook her head.
"Orochimaru wishes." Daiki snorted as he summoned a kunai from his seal and climbed into Haku's grave and cut a portion of her rotting skin from her neck- 'Huh, Haku is a chick.' he blinked.
And going by the wrapping under the clothing around the chest, and the structure of her body-
Haku was actually stacked. And her hips were amazingly wide.
Damn, what a waste of a babe.
Shrugging, he clambered out of her grave and hopped into Zabuza's to do the same.
Once he was done, he hopped back out and let his clones begin filling them in again.
"Kakashi will be pissed you know for desecrating their graves if he finds out," Anko pointed out, "Those kids of his probably will be too."
"Don't care." Daiki shrugged with a snort.
Friends and people he cared about or not, he wouldn't let their silly little baby feelings get in the way of gaining another advantage. Once he could use the Edo Tensei jutsu, he'd be capable of summoning Zabuza and Haku if he so needed.
If it came down to it, he'd make his own god damn ninja zombie army first.
"Me either really," Anko smirked, "I'm just saying because I want you to treat me to some dango when we get Mr. Future Hokage-sama in return for me not blabbing."
"Suck my dick." Daiki rolled his eyes and flipped her the bird.
"Sure, but after the dango," Anko's smirk widened as she spread her coat and cupped her huge breasts in her hands and jiggled them invitingly in her hands, "Want a titty fuck to go with it?"
Alright, here we are back again boys and girls with five to the four, fifty four, or it would be without that AN chapter from a while back. So instead it's the f to i to v to e to f to the i to the v to the e for feeeefty foive, indeed chapter 55.
Hmm, come next chapter we'll break 300k words with this story as well when we hit chapter 56. Neat.
So, not a whole lot happened this chapter all said and done. Not to say nothing was accomplished though. Daiki has gotten his eyes on a whole new piece of seal work, and through abusing his mass stack of filler cheats, he was able to abuse it with the help of Isobu and get himself a shit ton of neutral chakra ore, what was it nearly 6000 pounds of it or something? Mad dosh my peeps. On top of that, he also has the sword now for negotiations and he even got around to some proper grave robbing and yoinked some DNA from Zabuza and Haku for use in the future if needed for a zombie ninja army of his own. Oh, and in the process of doing all that, he pulled a much smaller variation of what Naruto did during the 4th war with Kurama and had quite a decent little jump in chakra for a mere day. Not something he can repeat all that often if he wants to get shit done, but helps here and there.
Welp, that's it for this chapter. Probably the last update for this of this year, on here at least. Chapter 55 is already up on the Pa-atreon alongside a bunch of other shit like Power, Primal, Jordinio Version and more advance chapters, even stuff I've not released on here yet.
Anyway, again, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
