Chapter 139: It Is Our Lifetime's Good Fortune to Follow Lord Hagoromo

In the Lockfront Village, things have been quieter than usual since the clan leader brought back a significant artifact recently.

The adults were off to the former Sky Ninja Village, now called Angkor Fortress, where they worked on repairs and assigned new residences. Meanwhile, the children eagerly joined in, excitedly exploring the sky city.

Hagoromo Gengetsu, also present, spotted a reckless boy leaning out over the edge of the fortress and shouted into the sky. He pulled the boy back, sending him and his companions scurrying away in fear. Ignoring the energetic children, Gengetsu unrolled a large scroll he had brought with him.

With a puff of white smoke, precious barrier materials appeared. Barriers, like sealing techniques, were complex and could only be managed by a few powers. Currently, only the five great ninja villages could set up comprehensive village-wide barriers. Other groups, like the Tsuchigumo Clan or the Fire Temple, either had limited space or relied on the great ninja villages to set up basic barriers for their homes.

Previously, to avoid detection, the fortress operated under cover of darkness unless the sky was overcast. Now, it could remain hidden at all times. Gengetsu, after confirming the barrier's success, planned the gradual relocation of Lockfront Village to the fortress, ensuring that the village's intelligence operations would continue smoothly.

As Gengetsu left the fortress, Shinno, who had witnessed the entire barrier setup, spoke to the bewildered Sky Ninjas: "See! This is just a glimpse of Lord Hagoromo's power. I've told you many times that the greatest skill I've learned over these fifty years is knowing when to adapt! It is our lifetime's good fortune to be under Lord Hagoromo's wing!"

The Sky Ninjas, seeing their leader's deference and having witnessed Gengetsu's power, had no more complaints and quickly settled into their new roles. Shinno, pleased, instructed them to train the Lockfront ninjas in using flying devices.

Meanwhile, back at the ground base of Lockfront Village, Gengetsu continued his training and experiments. His clones, known for making a name in the Land of Fire, were now recuperating in nutrient tanks, while a Mangekyō Sharingan, taken from Shisui, soaked in a container on Gengetsu's desk.

"The decision to have clones with Uchiha cells house the Mangekyō Sharingan to accelerate yin chakra research has proven effective," Gengetsu mused. His battle with Guy had not only refined his control over the Mangekyō Sharingan but also deepened his understanding of yin chakra nature transformation, leaving him very satisfied.

Reflecting on the substantial gains in yin chakra and his progress in yang chakra, Gengetsu felt an urge to test something new. He slowly extended his hand...
