Chapter 50: Researching Yin-yang Release Techniques
In Orochimaru’s laboratory, various precision instruments and experimental culture dishes were neatly arranged, filling the space with a cold and mysterious atmosphere.
At the very center of the laboratory, on the operating table, a pale corpse lay quietly, becoming the core of the entire space.
Orochimaru carefully placed a sliced piece of cells under the microscope for close observation.
His pupils contracted slightly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: “This is truly unbelievable… So incredible… No organs, no blood, not even meridians or acupoints, yet it can hold Chakra, and… this cell activity… is so similar to Hashirama Cells!”
“Like… like…” Orochimaru tried to find a word to describe this organism, but perhaps because he was too excited, he couldn’t find an adjective for a moment.
“Plant.” Menma stood across from the operating table, saying calmly.
“Right!” Orochimaru suddenly understood, his slightly trembling pupils flashing with fanatical light like discovering a new continent: “Just like a plant!”
This never-before-seen novelty greatly ignited Orochimaru’s desire and curiosity for research, and he couldn’t wait to conduct deeper research to explore its mysteries.
“So, what exactly is this?” Orochimaru put down the instrument in his hand, lifted his head, his golden snake pupils staring tightly at Menma, trying to get more information from this mysterious “Shura.”
He had lived for over forty years, traveled half the Ninja World, yet he had never seen, or even heard of, such a non-human organism.
“Do you want to know?” A light hum came from ‘Shura’s mask.
Of course Orochimaru wanted to know!
“This is White Zetsu, ancient humans drained of Chakra by the God Tree, completely turned into plant people, with characteristics like asexual reproduction, extremely strong compatibility, all-attribute Chakra, making them excellent experimental materials.” Menma briefly explained the origin of White Zetsu.
“God Tree?” Orochimaru keenly caught the key word in ‘Shura’s words.
But Menma stopped there, not continuing the topic, and telling Orochimaru about White Zetsu’s origin was just to make him experiment better on White Zetsu.
“Use it sparingly, this thing isn’t easy to catch.” Menma reminded.
Orochimaru thought thoughtfully: “Looks like I really need to speed up the development of cloning technology…”
White Zetsu Cells have very strong compatibility and all-attribute Chakra, which is simply equivalent to a Chunin-level experimental equipment!
If he could mass-clone such White Zetsu as experimental subjects, many of Orochimaru’s experiments would no longer be limited by material shortages!
“One year later, I’ll come for ten pairs of Sharingan, as well as the research achievements on White Zetsu and the Iburi Clan.” After leaving such a sentence, Menma turned and left the laboratory.
Although this somewhat commanding tone made Orochimaru a bit unhappy, what ‘Shura’ provided, whether ‘future intelligence’ or this super-compatible experimental material, was incomparable to that old guy Danzō.
The two called it cooperation, but Orochimaru had merely become ‘Shura’s hired worker.
Orochimaru, who had fought him, clearly knew that Shura’s strength was probably already approaching that ‘Ninja God,’ and he had no qualification to refuse.
“By the way.” At the door, Menma suddenly stopped, the white three-eyed fox mask slightly turning his head: “You’d better cut ties with Danzō.”
Menma didn’t want the research achievements on White Zetsu to be taken by Danzō, so he issued a warning.
After Menma left, Orochimaru fell into contemplation, pondering information about ‘Shura’ in his mind again.
On the bounty posted by Cloud Village at the Bounty Exchange, ‘Shura’ used the name ‘Danzō,’ it seems that old rat in the gutter had provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
“Does it concern you, Fourth Hokage…” Orochimaru vaguely felt that ‘Shura’ must have intricate ties with the Fourth Hokage, even once suspecting it was the Fourth Hokage himself faking death to escape.
But looking at Minato Namikaze’s life, there was no reason for him to do so.
The clues were too vague, and finally Orochimaru shook his head, diving back into research on White Zetsu.
——————
At the same time, inside Konoha Village.
One of Menma’s clones was practicing Chakra fusion in the training room.
He blended Yin-attribute Chakra and Yang-attribute Chakra in different ratios, with one dark and one bright stream of Chakra shining alternately on his palm, gradually fusing, while Menma focused entirely on controlling the amount and ratio of injected Chakra.
Boom!
An explosion, and this small ball fused with Yin-attribute Chakra and Yang-attribute Chakra suddenly dissipated.
The experiment failed again.
“The ratio still isn’t right…” Menma’s small face furrowed slightly, recalling the operation steps just now, walking to the table nearby, picking up a pen, and recording the Chakra ratio of this fusion.
This notebook was densely filled with data on various ratios and experiment times.
As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Menma was born with Yang-attribute Chakra and the five common attributes of fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water Chakra.
And from his experience in the ‘Limited Tsukuyomi World,’ he gained Yin-attribute Chakra, making him an all-attribute ninja.
Through research and fusion of Yin-attribute Chakra and Yang-attribute Chakra, Menma developed ‘Dark Chakra’ and ‘Spiral Rinne.’
But Menma, who knew the ultimate secret of the entire Naruto world, clearly understood that he had only just grasped the threshold of ‘Yin-Yang unity,’ just qualified to touch Yin-Yang Release techniques and the Power of All Creation.
Yin-Yang Release technique is an advanced ability combining Yin Release and Yang Release, creating form from the intangible and injecting life force into form.
For example, after Naruto gained the Sage of Six Paths’ power, he used Yin-Yang Release technique to save Lee’s life and create an eye for Kakashi.
The Power of All Creation is the manifestation of Yin-Yang and Five Elements generating and overcoming each other.
For example, Nagato’s black rods belong to Yin-Yang Release technique.
Madara’s Truth-Seeking Orbs belong to the Power of All Creation.
And at the pinnacle of the Power of All Creation is the Bloodline Snare possessed by Kaguya Otsutsuki.
“Although relying on Dark Nine-Tails’ Chakra and Yin-Yang Chakra, I created the ‘Nine-Face Fox,’ it’s still not orthodox Yin-Yang Release technique.” Menma began to ponder.
When the Sage of Six Paths split the Ten-Tails, he probably also used Yin-Yang Release technique to create the nine great Tails.
One-Tails one portion of Chakra, Two-Tails two portions of Chakra, Three-Tails three portions of Chakra… Nine-Tails, forget it, give it all the rest.
When he used Dark Nine-Tails’ Chakra to create the ‘Nine-Face Fox,’ it was too smooth, so his understanding of Yin-Yang Release technique wasn’t deep enough, unable to fully master Yin-Yang Release technique.
And although the Nine-Face Fox has Elite Jonin strength, it can’t speak, lacks independent consciousness, can only fight according to Menma’s commands, more like a puppet.
To fully turn the Nine-Face Fox into a life form that can speak and think independently, one must have a profound mastery of Yin-Yang Release technique.
At that time, the Nine-Face Fox’s combat power will also greatly increase, even able to act independently away from Menma, becoming a more powerful asset.
