Chapter 115 Changes in Chakra, Sarutobi Shinnosuke
early morning.
basement.
Sosuke is carrying out his daily "feeding".
The white snake in its left eye swallowed a drop of golden liquid and let out a satisfied hiss.
The field of vision became clear instantly.
The free-floating natural energy particles in the air were inhaled into the left eye like fireflies.
"The body's assimilation rate has reached 5%."
Sosuke looked at his left hand.
The grayish-white scale-like mark had spread across the entire back of my hand and extended to my forearm.
It is not ugly at all; on the contrary, it has a jade-like luster.
Chiba was holding a data tablet and recording data.
"Mr. Sosuke, your cellular activity is increasing. Your chakra reserves and physical recovery are approaching those of a Chunin specializing in taijutsu."
Sosuke put on a blindfold and wrapped his left hand with bandages to cover the mutated skin.
"I'm more concerned about whether this assimilation will affect my nervous system?"
"It seems that it will only get stronger."
Chiba's pen scratched across the paper.
"Snake cells have extremely strong environmental adaptability and low-temperature tolerance. Your skin's keratinization is essentially a self-reinforcing process that the body makes to adapt to higher-intensity energy flows."
"In other words, it's forcibly reinforcing your container because it's too fragile."
"Container 1————"
Sousuke smiled.
He walked to the other side of the lab bench.
There was a constant temperature incubator there.
Opening the door, a white, cold draft escaped.
Inside, a row of glass test tubes were neatly arranged. The test tubes contained a dark green, viscous liquid.
This is [Nutrient Solution No. 3].
Or call it "Krypton Fuel".
Since stopping consuming the meat of ninja beasts, which had side effects, Sousuke's body experienced a period of energy deficiency.
Ordinary food, even beef and milk, provides too little energy to keep up with his thirst for chakra.
So, Chiba developed this.
The composition is extremely complex: extracts from wild ginseng grown over thirty years old, bone marrow oil from deep-sea lightning eels, purified trace amounts of natural energy, and —
A trace amount of hematopoietic stem cell secretions extracted from materials from the Kaguya clan.
The cost of each one is approximately 50,000 taels.
Sosuke drinks three bottles every day.
That means he drank 150,000 taels of silver a day.
This was an unimaginable luxury in the eyes of ordinary ninjas.
Sosuke picked up a test tube and removed the cork.
A strange smell, a mixture of strong rust and bitter herbs, wafted up.
It's disgusting.
But Sosuke remained unfazed, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Glug."
The viscous liquid slid down the esophagus.
A few seconds later, my stomach started to feel hot.
The energy quickly penetrates into the capillaries of the stomach wall and is pumped throughout the body via the blood circulation.
"call----"
Sosuke could feel his cells absorbing the high-energy nutrients from his blood.
Next comes the autonomous extraction of chakra.
The body's energy (yang) surges.
Spiritual energy (yin) is mobilized accordingly.
No hand seals were needed. A torrent of blue chakra surged through the meridians.
"Chakra level — has increased again."
Sousuke clenched his fist. The abundant chakra made him feel full of power.
If six months ago, his chakra reserves were just a dried-up stream.
Using the flesh of the ninja beast, he transformed it into a small river.
Now, irrigated by this expensive nutrient solution, the river is evolving into the size of a lake.
"Based on my current chakra reserves, I have already surpassed that of an ordinary Chunin."
This is the power of biotechnology. Money alone isn't enough; you also need the knowledge to transform money into nourishment. To turn an ordinary person of mediocre talent into an exceptional ninja.
"But that's not enough."
Sosuke put down the empty test tube.
"This growth rate is slowing down. The body has developed drug resistance."
"Does the formula need to be adjusted?" Chiba asked.
"Not for now. This kind of stability is exactly what I need."
Zongsuke felt the power rushing through his body.
Unlike the violent chakra from ninja beast meat, this chakra synthesized with drugs is very pure and very obedient.
It's like refined fuel oil.
This was crucial for his practice of using a delicate chakra scalpel and manipulating steel wires.
"By the way, Mr. Sosuke."
Chiba suddenly remembered something.
He picked up a collection bottle containing only a thin layer of golden liquid.
"Today, the production of liquid natural energy is less than 1 milliliter."
"The rejection reaction in Xiyan's lungs is almost gone. Those alveolar cells have adapted to natural energy and are stopping filtering."
Sosuke glanced at the collection bottle.
Less than 1 milliliter. This means that Xiyan's illness is almost cured.
"Very good." Sosuke smiled.
But this brings a new problem: as Xiyan recovers, the source of liquid natural energy will be depleted.
His snake eyes can absorb natural energy on their own, but that energy can only be used on himself and cannot be condensed into liquid natural energy for other purposes.
dong dong dong.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Sosuke's thoughts.
He went to open the door. It was Ryoma.
"Excuse me, Jonin Takaya. You need to represent the logistics department to visit the seriously wounded at Konoha Hospital today. It's time to go."
Sosuke then remembered this matter.
As a special jonin in the logistics department, visiting and comforting the wounded is also one of his duties.
This matter is very important.
Because on today's list of injured, there is a name: Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
The eldest son of the Third Hokage, an elite Jonin of the Anbu.
"Okay, let's get going."
Sosuke changed into a green vest and picked up the gift he had prepared beforehand—a jar of candied fruit.
Konoha Hospital, Special Care Ward.
A man covered in bandages lay on the bed.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
In a previous battle, he was severely injured by the Iwagakure demolition squad while covering his teammates.
"Takaya Jonin"
Seeing Sousuke enter, Sarutobi Shinnosuke tried to get up.
"Don't move, Shinnosuke-senpai."
Sosuke held him down.
"I'm here on behalf of the logistics department to check on you. How is your injury?"
"I escaped with my life."
Shinnosuke smiled bitterly.
"Thanks to your clean water. Otherwise, the wound would have gotten infected, and I would have lost my leg."
"That would be my honor."
Sosuke put down the candied fruit.
His gaze fell on a book on Shinnosuke's bedside table.
Chakra Nature Transformation: Fusion of Fire and Earth.
That was a profound book about the theory of ninjutsu.
"Are you researching chakra nature transformation, senior?"
Sosuke asked, seemingly casually.
"yes."
Shinnosuke sighed.
"I can't move while lying in bed, so I can only read books."
"This injury taught me a lesson."
"Simple, single-attribute ninjutsu is at a huge disadvantage when facing bloodline limits."
"The Explosion Release technique of Iwagakure is a fusion of lightning and earth. Its power is astonishing."
"I was thinking, what if I could combine Fire Release and Earth Release—"
"That's Lava Release."
Sosuke picked up the conversation.
"Roshi from Iwagakure, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, used that."
Shinnosuke's eyes lit up.
"You know about this too?"
"I know a little bit. I'm in business, so I listen to all sorts of information."
Sousuke smiled.
"Senior, I'm actually quite interested in chakra nature transformation as well."
"Especially—how to attach chakra to an object and change its properties."
This is a problem that Sosuke has always wanted to solve.
Is it possible to attach chakra to the steel wire to make it more lethal?
This involves advanced applications of "Chakra Flow".
That is, the principle behind Asuma's chakra blade.
Shinnosuke glanced at Sousuke.
He knew the businessman's background. He was a high-ranking ninja who had been promoted through money, but his basic ninjutsu skills were very poor.
But he saved many lives and delivered a lot of supplies to the front lines.
This is someone worth trying to win over.
"You want to learn chakra flow?"
Shinnosuke asked.
"Yes."
"Then we need to determine your chakra nature first. What is your nature?"
Sosuke was taken aback.
He hasn't been tested yet.
He used to have too little chakra and was not qualified to learn chakra nature transformation; Genzo never taught him that.
"I have no idea."
Shinnosuke pointed to a drawer on the bedside table.
"There are chakra test strips over there. Test yourself."
