Chapter 222 Effects and Choices

"But!"

When Xianglin was about to say something else.

"Okay, Xianglin, let's start the experiment. Turn on all the testing instruments. If it really fails, this will be a key reference data."

Menma waved his hand to interrupt Xiang Rin's words.

Then he took off his shirt.

The exposed skin, which had become bronzed by the wind and sun due to various high-intensity training, lay directly on the smooth and cold experimental table, and connected the instrument lines to himself one after another. on the body.

Determination expressed through actions.

Xianglin could only take a deep breath.

Go to the side and open the instruments directly.

After all preparations are completed.

"Pfft!"

Menma inserted the syringe containing the special blue-green liquid into his arm, and with a gentle push, all the liquid was injected.

"!?"

The next second.

The first feeling of an invading cold texture made Menma tremble subconsciously, and then the feeling as if his blood was boiling made Menma's expression instantly change, a raging world of ice and fire.

Let Menma's body feel cold for a while and warm for a while.

Then it turned into a feeling that seemed to make his whole body explode.

The biting lips were already completely clenched fists.

Veins popped up on his forehead, followed by a large amount of sweat.

Menma's expression became so distorted.

in previous tests.

Menma was already very aware of the drastic impact this bottle of special liquid had on the body, but he did not expect that it would become even more exaggerated when it directly affected his body!

If it were any ordinary person at this moment, he would have collapsed first.

This not only refers to the physical strength, but also the mental endurance, which is equally important. Without one of them, it is impossible to continue.

‘Does it actually hurt so much? ’

Menma felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

But now the experiment has begun.

Menma couldn't stop it, he couldn't stop it, he had to rely on his own willpower to get through it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Menma's own physical strength can withstand the current tear.

Even if you can't see inside.

Menma could also clearly tell that his cells were constantly dividing and reorganizing.

Then new cells extend.

Essentially, this is a life-consuming practice.

Just like Tsunade in the original work opens the Yin Seal and then uses the art of creation and regeneration, it seems to be using huge chakra to heal herself, but the cells that are constantly dividing at a high speed are consuming their own lifespan.

Because human cell division is limited!

But for Menma.

This is nothing.

If you are not strong enough and your plan fails, you may die in two years, so why should you care about the consumption of your lifespan! ?

And if you are strong enough, your plan will succeed smoothly.

The power of his own bloodline has been improved even more. If he can be upgraded to the level of the Otsutsuki clan, the life span caused by cell division is nothing! ?

The Otsutsuki clan has an almost unlimited lifespan.

That is beyond the scope of human beings.

It's a species on another level.

Therefore, Menma didn't care at all about the cells that were dividing and reorganizing at a high speed. Everything was done to strengthen his own strength.

‘Hold it! Hold it! You must hold back! ’

Menma strongly suppressed the pain in his body that was almost torn apart.

Every tremor, every second of time passing by.

For Menma, it was like hell.

Xiang Rin, who was monitoring the instruments on the side, tensed up even more. Most of these instruments were provided by Shibuki, but the most important and precise ones were obtained from Orochimaru.

In terms of resources in this area, there are not many people in the ninja world who can compare with Orochimaru.

It is precisely because of these high-level instruments.

Only the smallest cellular changes can be monitored.

Xianglin could clearly see the cell changes in Menma's body at this moment.

This speed has far exceeded any previous experiment. It is approaching the critical point that the two of them first estimated at extremely high speed. Once this critical point is exceeded, what will be the consequences? This is Menma , Xianglin and others could not predict.

"Don't go up there, don't go up there!"

Xianglin clasped her hands together, her face full of worry.

A value that rises bit by bit.

The exaggerated scene of change displayed in the instrument.

"ah!!!"

And Menma finally couldn't restrain her screams.

"Menma!?"

Xianglin's heart was completely confused at that moment.

But at this moment, she couldn't do anything.

I can only watch from the sidelines.

It also lasted for several minutes.

That is the rising speed that slowly decreases, and then freezes at the numerical moment that will reach the critical point.

Xianglin exhaled a breath of turbid air slowly.

Only then can the hanging heart slowly relax.

"Menma? How are you feeling?"

After quickly recording the relevant data, Xianglin immediately walked to Menma's side and asked with a hint of concern.

"Well, it's okay. Although it's a lot more painful than expected, it's still within the tolerable range. How about it, have the values ​​been recorded? How different is it from what was expected?"

Menma let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and said with a smile.

"The values ​​are all recorded. Except for the cell division rate which is much faster than we expected, the other deviations are within the acceptable range. So how do you feel about your body now!? Has your endurance become stronger?"

Xianglin nodded and replied, and after a pause, he also asked with a hint of curiosity.

The goals and effects before all experiments are set hypothetically.

The final results may not necessarily meet the expectations of the experiment.

Especially when it comes to changes in the body and cells, even Orochimaru didn't dare to vouch for it, let alone the Uzumaki clan. Before Menma, Orochimaru didn't have an orthodox Uzumaki clan bloodline for him to study. All of them The data are all based on other cases, and the later time is too short.

But if Orochimaru was given a year and a half, it might be different.

That is Orochimaru after all!

Therefore, this time's experiment, whether it's facial numbness or fragrant burning, is not 100% sure.

It can only be said to be a high probability event.

Fortunately, the worst possible outcome did not occur.

"It doesn't feel like it's obvious yet."

Menma frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said.

This increase in cellular activation and physical adaptability is not a purely explicit change, but can still be considered an invisible improvement.

Even Menma himself, as the carrier, can hardly say that he can accurately perceive and judge the changes in his body.

"Let me try it!"

Menma slowly closed his eyes, feeling the subtle changes in his body.

It seems to have more vigorous vitality than before.

But it's not very obvious.

If it weren't for his own body and he wasn't a member of the Uzumaki clan, he wouldn't be able to sense it at all.

"boom!"

The next second.

Chakra bursts out directly from Menma.

In an instant, he came directly to the level of four tails.

The tail of the demon fox swings upward.

The feeling of expansion can be clearly felt here.

Originally, when a tailed beast's chakra bursts to more than half its level, it can transform into a half-tailed beast. In the original book, when Naruto fought against Orochimaru, the mode of four tails or close to five tails was the half-tailed beast.

But that guy exploded unconsciously, and was the result of being invaded by Kyuubi's consciousness and controlled by his own dark side.

In this life, Menma will not be controlled by Kyuubi's consciousness. He and Kyuubi get along quite well.

Therefore, whether or not to transform into a half-tailed beast depends on Menma himself.

The same goes for Gotachibana Yagura and Kirabi, the two jinchūriki in perfect form.

Whichever form is most suitable for him to fight is that form. Menma relies heavily on his various ninjutsu, as well as techniques such as King Kong Blockade, so naturally he will not transform into a half-tailed beast to fight.

Anyway, for Menma now, the standard for measuring combat power is to see how much nine-tailed chakra can be mobilized. Whether the tailed beast transforms into a tailed beast or not does not mean much unless he wants to do it. If you have a hair-tailed beast jade, you can indeed give it a try.

But Menma couldn't do that now.

Now that the Bagua seal has not been completely lifted, it is impossible for Menma to fully use the Kyuubi's chakra.

"There is a little change, but it's not very obvious..."

Carefully feeling the changes in his body and the degree of compatibility with the Nine-Tails chakra, Menma opened his eyes, with a hint of disappointment in his pupils. He originally thought that he would have to endure so many complicated experimental processes. In order to experience such severe pain, even if it does not achieve the expected perfect effect, it should still be half of it. But at present, it seems that it can only achieve one-fifth of the expected result at most? Or even lower?

Although Menma didn't know exactly what level he had to reach to be able to perfectly withstand and adapt to Kyuubi's chakra without hurting himself, what was certain was that the current level was definitely not enough.

In the original book, Naruto only mastered the sage mode, and it was only at a very late stage that he could perfectly adapt to the nine-tailed chakra, so that he would not be 'burned' by the excessive nine-tailed chakra!

There must be a certain gap between the current self and Naruto who has mastered the sage mode.

"Isn't it true that even this doesn't work? Why, isn't all the previous efforts wasted?"

Xianglin on the side also showed a very disappointed and distressed expression when he heard Menma's words.

Disappointed that past efforts seem to be in vain.

The heartache is that even though Menma has endured so much pain, he still can't realize his expected intention.

At this moment, Xiang Rin was even more emotional than Menma, the one who couldn't accept the situation at all.

And it was even more obvious that Xiang Rin cared more about the pain Menma had just endured.

In Xiang Rin's eyes now, Menma is the only one for her.

This is something I have never felt since my mother passed away.

If possible, Xiang Rin wouldn't even want to see Menma suffer even the slightest injury. Is it an exaggeration? It's so exaggerated!

"Haha, it's not that bad yet. The effect is still there, but it's just not that obvious. And it still depends on the results later."

Menma smiled and shook his head.

As someone who gets along day and night, Menma can certainly tell what Xiang Rin is thinking in his heart. At this moment, he also showed a calmer look and said warmly.

"Then do we still need to continue to the next step? The expected effect has not been achieved now. If the Nine-Tails' chakra really loses control later, it is likely to bring bad results, right?"

Xiang Rin pursed her lips and looked up at Menma, still speaking with a hint of worry.

"This is not something you need to worry about. The reason why we did this in the first place was just to prevent accidents. My relationship with Kyuubi is still good. Under normal circumstances, chakra will not go wild. The seal still needs to be broken as soon as possible. Only in this way can I truly have the confidence to fight against those people and those ninja villages, Xianglin."

Menma shook his head slightly and said.

This was why Menma had to be anxious.

Especially the Akatsuki organization.

Although it is not very clear why he took off Kakashi's eyes and Obito has not done it yet, this pressure and threat are always there, not to mention that there is Madara who has been waiting for a long time in the pure land.

For now, only Nagato can take action.

When all six Pains come out together.

Menma couldn't stand it anymore, not to mention that there was Obito staring at him. Menma had to fully master the Nine-Tails' chakra as soon as possible.

if that is the case.

Only by dealing with Nagato who uses a reincarnation eye that is not his own and Obito who is a one-eyed dragon can he have the corresponding confidence.

There is much to do, but very little time.

Menma had to push himself harder.

"But Kyuubi..."

"Don't worry, Xianglin, trust me, there will be no problem."

I still want to say something when I see Xianglin.

Menma stretched out his right hand and patted Xiangren's head gently and said, without explaining the relationship between himself and Kyuubi.

Because that requires a lot of things to be involved.

It's not that Menma doesn't trust Xiang Rin, but it's really not the right time and it's not necessary.

There are some things that you just need to understand!

"Okay, then it's still the same as before, using the four-image seal to reverse engineer the crack?"

Looking at Menma with a determined expression.

Xiang Rin knew very well that he couldn't convince Menma. Although he still didn't believe Kyuubi in his heart, Menma insisted so much that Xiang Rin could only choose to support it.

"Well, this is the best way we can think of at the moment. What's more, the Bagua seal is based on the Four Elephants seal. There is still a certain probability. Let's give it a try first."

Menma nodded heavily and said.
