Chapter 225 Yin and Yang Complement Each Other, Uchiha and Uzumaki

It was already completely dark when we came out of the Uchiha Armory.

The summer night breeze was not cool at all; instead, it carried a sticky, hot feeling.

Sosuke tugged at the shirt that was stuck to his back.

He hates summer.

I sweat too easily, and the sweat gets into the eye patch on my left eye, which irritates the scales of the white snake and causes my eye socket to itch.

I passed a shaved ice stand on the street corner.

Sosuke stopped in his tracks.

"Boss, two servings of red bean milk shaved ice, extra ice please."

He took out a few loose bills and threw them on the counter.

Carrying two boxes of shaved ice, Sosuke strolled leisurely back to Takaya Estate.

The manor was quiet, except for the ubiquitous chirping of cicadas, which was quite annoying.

Third-floor study.

The lights were on. Rena Yamashiro was sitting at her desk, checking a long list of supplies.

Sosuke pushed open the door and walked in, placing one of the shaved ice slices beside her.

"Takaya-sama."

Rena stopped what she was doing and stood up.

"Please sit down."

Sosuke returned to his boss's chair, scooped out a large chunk of ice with a wooden spoon, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hiss—"

A cool sensation ran through my forehead, finally suppressing the burning sensation.

"This awful weather, the cicadas are making my head ache."

Sosuke chewed on the crushed ice and complained.

"If someone can invent a ninjutsu specifically for poisoning and silencing cicadas, I am willing to pay one million taels to buy out the patent."

Rena glanced at the shaved ice; the ice was melting, and the sweet aroma of red beans wafted out.

She picked up her spoon and answered seriously, "Lady Takaya, there's no need to invent new ninjutsu. Simply setting up four small Wind Release: Vacuum Barriers around the manor to cut off the medium through which sound waves propagate will achieve physical silence."

"The cost is approximately three wind-attribute chakra sealing talismans per day, totaling 15,000 taels."

Sosuke stopped digging in the ice.

He looked at the rigid and meticulous secretary.

"Rena, you're a genius."

Sosuke sighed.

"But sometimes, you don't have to be so formal in your answers to my nonsense."

Rena pushed up her glasses.

"Yes. I understand."

She lowered her head and continued shaved ice. The sweetness of the red beans made her squint her eyes slightly.

Sosuke didn't say anything more, finished the shaved ice in a few bites, and threw the cardboard box into the trash can.

"I'm going down."

Sosuke stood up.

"Don't wait for me tonight. Go back to sleep after you've finished taking care of these things."

"Yes."

Sosuke left the study and went down the stairs to the biological laboratory on the second basement floor.

The air conditioning in the laboratory was turned up very high.

As soon as he entered, Sosuke felt like he had come back to life.

Chiba squatted in front of a centrifuge, staring at the data jumping on the screen.

"Mr. Sosuke."

Chiba stood up when he saw Sosuke enter.

"Any new work?"

"Hmm, big job."

Sosuke pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Sōji wants to create a special operations team, entirely composed of Uchiha who have awakened the Sharingan. They will come to undergo our experiments in order to become stronger."

"Chiba, what are your thoughts?"

Chiba didn't think for long. It was simple.

"According to your previous theory, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is essentially the ultimate manifestation of Yin Release chakra. It is the materialization of spiritual energy."

"Their brains generate special chakra to stimulate their optic nerves, but their optic nerve strength cannot keep up. This is why the Uchiha clan is prone to emotional instability and their eyesight deteriorates with use, because their nervous system is damaged."

"The life force of the Uzumaki clan represents the pinnacle of Yang Release. It is an immense life force and physical energy."

"This power is gentle enough and extremely inclusive. If we inject this power into the Uchiha's body, the Yang Release will nourish the body, and the Yin and Yang will complement each other, achieving balance."

"In theory, this would not only greatly increase their chakra reserves, but also—stabilize their mental state."

"Furthermore, once they have fully adapted to the power of the vortex, we can transplant Hashirama cells into them."

"With the Sharingan and the power of the Uzumaki, they might be able to perfectly adapt to Hashirama cells, just like Nagato."

Sosuke nodded. This was also the result of his deduction.

"Then it's settled."

"Prepare the potions. We're going to give Souji's special operations team a collective upgrade."

Late at night three days later.

Uchiha Armory, three underground floors.

This place has been temporarily converted into a laboratory.

Sousuke sat on the chair.

Standing before him were twelve Uchiha.

They were dressed in uniform black combat suits, but none of them wore Konoha headbands.

These twelve individuals were handpicked by Sōji from the entire clan as his most loyal followers. They had all awakened the Sharingan, with the weakest possessing at least two tomoe.

"Everyone is here."

Souji looked at Sosuke, his Sharingan faintly visible in the dim light.

"They are prepared."

Sosuke stood up and walked to the twelve people.

"Things like enlightenment are just something to listen to, but don't take them too seriously."

"You are Uchiha. But you are also very fragile. After using a few genjutsu and a few fire-style techniques, you'll be panting for ages."

"Today, I'm giving you a chance to make up for yourselves."

Sousuke clapped his hands.

Chiba pushed a stainless steel cart out.

On the vehicle, twelve large syringes were neatly arranged.

It contains a red liquid.

"What is this?"

One of the Uchiha couldn't help but ask. He sensed the immense life force emanating from the liquid.

"A drug that can turn you into monsters."

"Once this substance enters your body, it will alter your original cellular structure. The process will be extremely painful."

"If anyone doesn't make it through, their life may be in danger."

Sosuke looked at them.

"It's not too late to quit now."

Zongsi stood to the side, saying nothing. These were the soldiers he had chosen; he knew them.

Sure enough, none of the twelve people moved.

"very good."

Sosuke nodded to Chiba.

"Let's begin. Record the physiological data every second."

Twelve Uchiha were lying on cold iron beds. Leather restraints held their limbs and torsos in place.

Chiba took the syringe and began to inject.

The thick needle pierced directly into the carotid artery. The vortex life factor was slowly pushed into their blood vessels.

soon.

The first Uchiha to be injected let out a muffled groan.

His skin turned crimson.

The veins and arteries under his skin seemed to have suddenly come to life, wriggling and bulging beneath his skin.

Extreme vitality surged violently into their meridian system.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and let out a scream.

Their Sharingan activated automatically, uncontrollably.

The double-tomoe jade pendants, the triple-tomoe jade pendants, spun wildly in my eyes. They were so fast that they almost formed a circle.

Blood and tears flowed from everyone's eyes. But it wasn't black blood from overuse of their pupil power. It was fresh blood...

Vibrant, fresh blood.

"The capillaries around the eyes are dilating!"

Chiba stared at the instruments and quickly reported back.

"The Yin Release chakra is being stimulated by the Yang Release, and a violent chemical reaction is occurring!"

"The rate of cell division has increased fourfold!"

"His body temperature has exceeded 42 degrees Celsius!"

A younger Uchiha's eyes widened uncontrollably, too pained to speak.

"Stay calm."

Sosuke stood to the side, watching expressionlessly.

"If you can get through this, you'll become stronger."

Gradually.

The struggle of the first-place Uchiha decreased.

The crimson skin began to fade, and a layer of white mist rose from the surface of the body.

"Heart rate decreased. Body temperature dropped."

Chiba quickly took notes.

"The Yin and Yang chakras have achieved a preliminary balance."

"Vital signs — extremely vigorous."

The Uchiha opened his eyes.

The three tomoe in his eyes stopped spinning and settled steadily in his red pupils.

The restraints were removed, and he sat up.

"This feeling—"

He looked at his hands.

His body was filled with an astonishing sense of power, and a continuous stream of heat surged from his dantian.

"I feel like I can now unleash ten powerful fireballs in a row."

He muttered to himself.

Soon, second place, third place...

All twelve Uchiha clan members survived.

Although the Uchiha bloodline is somewhat unbalanced, they are, after all, descendants of the Otsutsuki clan. This shared lineage made it difficult for them to accept this power from their distant relatives.

They stood in a row.

Her entire demeanor has changed.

They used to be cold and arrogant.

Now, their breathing was deep and their muscles were taut. The chilling aura had been neutralized by their immense vitality, transforming into a profound weight.

Congratulations!

Sousuke stepped forward.

"From today onwards, you will be the strongest special operations team of the Uchiha clan."

Soji stood quietly to the side and watched the whole thing unfold.

He witnessed the transformation of his subordinates.

Without hesitation, Zongsi took off his black silk robe, revealing his upper body.

He walked to an iron bed and lay down.

"Mr. Sosuke, it's my turn."
