They even had letters from the Daimyo saning their "tolls" so long as a portion of it got sent to them as "taxes". It was dirty business but this world had never been so I was hardly surprised. We left the bandits behind and thanks to my seook a more sic route as I led us to hs that I detected hidden nearby. At one of these hs I even got lucky enough to enter a chakra beast. A small grey furred mohat reminded me of a Capu to a degree. Whether it was size or body shape the simirities were clear. -

  Unlike many of my ows when I found them this one was already a full blown chakra beast with an ability and everything. It's ability was also ironically one I had retly gotten for myself, boil release. I wasn't particurly surprised by this as it wasn't unheard of for chakra beasts to have abilities that reflected their surroundings. This monkey lived here at this h that held heavy fire and water nature in equal parts so it having the resulting kekkai genkai of the two as it's ability wasn't hard to believe.-

  That didn't mean that the monkey wasn't as good at using the kekkai genkai as a shinobi either as that was very untrue. A good example of this was that the thing actually knew how to re's ability harmless steam rather than the ridiculously corrosive stuff that usually showed up, a feat even I hadn't do. It could also form shapes out of it's steam and evehe kekkai genkai to augment it's stealth abilities. It did this in a simir mao the [hiding in the mist] jutsu of the Kirigakure in that it created a cloud of steam that was impossible to see through.-

  Like most mohis one proved cautious towards humans such as Karin until it learhat she was harmless to it. Due to my nature I had no such issue as the thing warmed up to me instantly like nearly every other beast I had ever met that wasn't diseased. Like my ows the monkey was especially eager for the special pills I made that enha's power as a chakra beast. That along with the traditional baptism of my sage chakra that all my beasts obtained led the moo having power not much below elite in.-

  Underh that cute exterior was enough power to make most shinobi nervous if they were aware of it. Still this was how we ended up with a monkey hitg a ride on our shoulders as we toured the nd of hs. More than a few people thought the thing was adorable when we passed through towns and offered it fruit etables that it was more than happy to stuff it's face with. We ran into some less than friendly sorts three times over the week and each time I let my new beast hahe situation.-

  "That ability is so disturbing to watch. People, pnts, rocks it doesn't matter as it all melts in front of it." Karin said as we watched the monkey reduce a bandit to a pile of sludge.

  I heres a reason it's sidered one of the more dangerous kekkai genkais after all. It's a double edged sword though as it's quite easy to suffer friendly fire if faced with a wind user." I said casually.

  "Wouldn't it be even more useful if it was mixed with wind release jutsu then?" she asked and I made a "so so" motion with my hand.

  "It would be more focused and trolled that way sure but at the same time the wind nature chakra would likely cause it to weaken at the same time." I expined calmly.

  "What if you were to mix wind nature chakra with the mixed chakra?" she asked curiously.

  I thought about it for a moment before answering "I 't say for certain as that is kekkai tota territory and I haven't reached it yet but I assume it would create Zero release like what Shiro has. Zero release is a mix of water, fire and wind chakras after all though the exact ratio is uo me. My theory is that once I recreate Ice release from water and wind chakras mixing I'll be close to uanding the exact ratio of Zero release." I said holy.

  "So if you were to teach the monkey how to use wind release it might eventually learn Zero release as well?" she asked and I frowned.

  "I don't know. Kekkai tota's aren't hereditary or the third Tsuchikage's children and grandchildren would have it but they don't, they have Lava release instead. Shiro is unique in this and I am unsure if teag the monkey wind release would give it this eventually or just more tricks up it's sleeve." I said holy.

  The versation ehere but I kept the idea in my head as once I reached the proficy to begin attempting kekkai tota I'll be able to test this myself. Speaking of geiheritance of Kekkai genkai my recreation of them had done wonders for uanding why they could be ied. See I had taken blood before and after each Kekkai genkai I recreated and using that my sensei and I was able to discover the differences.-

  It was extremely subtle but when you used a Kekkai genkai the unique chakra alters yeics slightly with the more intense use increasing the potency of this alteratioheorized that if the alteration reached a certain level from multiple repeated usages of the Kekkai genkai it would be enough to cause ones offspring to have bodily chakra natures perfectly aligo create that Kekkai genkai thus expining how it could be "awakehrough training or stress even if the person wasn't born able to use it.-

  I po test this myself after successfully recreating a Kekkai tota to see why it didn't seem to work for it the same way. I had some ideas of course but without that sample to pare from before and after recreating the Kekkai tota I couldn't say for certain. My theory though was that the mutatioed by Kekkai genkai chakra use was left unbanced by the creation of Kekkai tota. Specifically the ratio of chakra natures being mixed was unbanced and thus prevehe mutation for that creation from taking hold.
