Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 216 Out of Control

It's like a bunch of kids who've never even touched a gun tinkering with a nuclear bomb in a basement, smugly believing they can control the power of the explosion.

However, Aoba understands this very well.

This is a typical example of "researcher thinking".

In the eyes of these pure researchers, what they pursue is ultimate perfection. As for the losses in the research process, and whether the research results will get out of control and bring about devastating consequences, they do not care at all.

You might regret it later, but that's all in the future.

This is why, in Aoba's previous world, any research required the submission of detailed reports, prediction of experimental risks, and rigorous budgeting and approval processes.

Although it is cumbersome, it is to avoid ineffective waste of resources and, more importantly, to ensure safety.

It can only be said that there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Like this summoning beast research organization in front of us, if there were a clear-headed and knowledgeable manager overseeing it, it would be absolutely impossible to approve such a dangerous research project with no safety plans whatsoever.

However, Aoba neither spoke up to warn him nor tried to stop him.

Because he himself was very interested in this research on "Ultimate Summoning Beast".

You could even say that this was his ultimate purpose in coming to the Island of Oblivion!

"Welcome to the team, Aoba! With your medical skills and biological knowledge, our Ultimate Summoning Beast Project is sure to make a breakthrough!"

Professor Oak looked at the fleshy ball in the culture tank, his eyes filled with joy.

"It's my honor, Professor Oak."

Qingye smiled slightly, concealing his merits and fame.

As it turned out, Professor Oak's judgment proved correct. With the addition of Aoba, this "genius scholar," the Ultimate Summoning Project seemed to have been given a high-powered engine, and it entered the fast lane.

Aoba finally got his wish and gained access to the organization's most core technical information.

By devouring other creatures, they perfectly integrate their genes and chakra characteristics.

[Beep! High-level biological fusion data detected.]

[A gene phagocytosis model is being developed...]

Analysis complete... Data has been entered into the database.

The assistive chip in my mind is running wildly.

As Aoba perused the core information, he inwardly marveled.

This technology is remarkably similar to some of the characteristics he previously studied in his research on leukocytes!

White Zetsu cells possess extremely strong assimilation and adaptation capabilities, while the devouring and fusion technology here is even more domineering, directly plundering the advantages of other summoned beasts and turning them into its own.

A glint of excitement flashed in Aoba's eyes.

If these two technologies could be combined...

The problem of the lizard race's "dragonization" might find a perfect solution here.

Time passed day by day.

As the research progressed, the mass of flesh in the culture tank began to undergo dramatic changes.

It frantically absorbed the nutrient solution, its volume expanding like an inflating balloon. Gradually, it transformed from a fleshy ball into a gigantic, wrinkled worm.

But Professor Oak was still not satisfied.

"Not enough! This is far from enough!"

Professor Oak stood before the hatching pool, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he watched the wriggling worm. "Its body isn't strong enough yet!"

In his design, the ultimate summoning beast must be a perfect creature without any weaknesses!

"It needs to absorb even more power. It needs not only an indestructible and powerful body, but also the ability to absorb the chakra of all ninjutsu, and even to cast genjutsu and various elemental ninjutsu!"

According to Dr. Oak's theory, this worm is currently only in its initial "larval" stage.

At this stage, it needs to constantly devour other powerful summoning beasts, storing their genes and chakra within its body.

Once it has absorbed enough energy, it will enter the "pupa" stage.

Inside the pupa, it will completely digest the abilities of the summoned beasts it devoured, perfectly integrating all their advantages.

The moment it emerges from its cocoon, it will become the king of all summoned beasts!

It is also his most perfect work!

To achieve this goal, Professor Oak ordered that all the different types of summoned beasts, or those with rare abilities, bred on the island be continuously fed into the hatching pool for the fleshy worm to devour.

Looking at the large fleshy worm in the hatching pool, a hint of worry flashed in Honoka's eyes.

She could feel that the chakra within the fleshy worm was becoming increasingly violent and uncontrollable.

Aoba, standing to the side, remained calm; he knew it was coming soon.

And that day has finally come.

That afternoon, several researchers were operating a robotic arm to throw a mutated spirit beast the size of an ox into the incubation pool.

The moment the mutated spirit beast fell into the water, it was instantly enveloped by countless tentacles extended from the flesh worm.

It was quickly pulled into the flesh worm's body, and without even a sound, the mutated spirit beast completely disappeared.

However, after devouring the spirit beast, the flesh worm did not calm down to digest as usual.

"Hiss—"

The flesh worm let out a piercing shriek, its massive body writhing violently, and its pupil-less compound eyes glowed with an intensely hungry and greedy red light.

"What's going on? Why has its chakra fluctuation become so violent?" A researcher looked at the wildly soaring values ​​on the instrument panel, his face turning deathly pale.

"It...it doesn't seem to be full yet!"

The researchers stared in horror at the wildly fluctuating red numbers on the instrument.

Hunger is the most primal instinct of all living things.

The next second, something unexpected happened!

The giant fleshy worm actually crawled out of the pool!

Two tentacles sprouted from its massive body, one of which instantly wrapped around the nearest researcher.

"Help! Help me! Doctor, help me—"

The researcher let out a desperate scream, but the next second, he was dragged into the flesh worm's body by the tentacles.

"Honoka, seal! Use the sealing technique quickly!"

Splash!

Several golden chakra chains shot out from behind Honoka, precisely binding the massive body of the flesh worm and pinning it firmly to the spot.

"Everyone, run!"

Honoka formed hand seals, gritting her teeth to maintain the output of chakra, and a fine layer of sweat had already seeped out from her forehead.

Seeing that Honoka had controlled the monster, many researchers breathed a sigh of relief, naively believing that, as before, the sealing technique could restrain the monster in front of them.

However, Professor Oak ran over, staring with a fanatical look at the worm bound by chains.

"This is perfect! This is the ultimate power I've been searching for!"

Honoka ignored the mad Professor Oak; she sensed something was wrong.

The Vajra Lock, which had always been invincible, now felt powerless.

Not only that, she was horrified to discover that the chakra within her body was flowing continuously into the fleshy worm's body along the golden chains!

"How could this happen..."

Honoka's expression changed drastically.

This giant worm, after devouring countless summoning beasts, has actually mastered the ability to absorb chakra ahead of time!

The Adamantine Lock not only failed to restrain it, but instead became an IV drip, treating Honoka's vast and pure Uzumaki clan chakra as the most delicious tonic!

"Roar!"

Having absorbed a large amount of chakra, the flesh worm let out an excited roar, its power surging.

boom! boom! boom!

The golden chains wrapped around it began to tremble violently, and even showed signs of breaking.

"Honoka, find a way to stop it!"

Just then, the golden chains vanished instantly.

The giant worm extended its tentacles again, entangled Professor Oak and the two researchers nearby, and swallowed them into its body.

"what!"

Having had too much chakra absorbed, Honoka let out a painful groan, her legs buckling as she collapsed to her knees.

Freed from its restraints, the flesh worm quickly locked onto Honoka on the ground.

For it, this human with a huge amount of chakra is the most tempting food!

Whoosh!

A thick tentacle lashed out at Honoka!

As the disgusting tentacle attacked, Honoka's mind went blank, and her body was unable to move due to chakra depletion.

"No, we can't stop it."

Honoka closed her eyes in despair. "Help! Someone, please help me!"

However, the expected excruciating pain did not come.

puff!

The thick tentacle that was about to strike Honoka was instantly severed by a short sword covered in high-density chakra!

A foul-smelling bodily fluid sprayed out.

Honoka suddenly opened her eyes.

What came into view was an extremely familiar figure!

Aoba, wielding a chakra dagger, stood firmly in front of her.

"Blue...Blue Leaf..."

Honoka stared blankly at the man's back, and a strange sense of security suddenly welled up in her heart, which had been filled with despair.

"What are you daydreaming about? Get up now!"

Qingye didn't turn her head, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible gentleness.

Honoka was stunned when she saw the man blocking her way.

In that instant, the surrounding chaos seemed to vanish.

All she could see was the man's back.

"roar!!!"

The excruciating pain of having its tentacles severed drove the flesh worm into a frenzy. Its massive body suddenly stood upright, and more tentacles lashed out at Qingye like a storm.

Brush brush!

Aoba raised his hand and with a few strokes, severed all the attacking tentacles.

He then formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A blazing fireball, over two meters in diameter, erupted from Qingye's mouth and slammed head-on into the flesh worm's body.

boom!!

The flames instantly engulfed the upper half of the flesh worm, and the smell of burning filled the laboratory.

But Aoba's gaze did not relax in the slightest.

Sure enough, after the flames subsided, although the worm's body was charred black, new gray-white tissue was repairing the wound at an astonishing speed beneath the charred marks.

It was none other than the ability to heal itself.

This ultimate summoning beast is more troublesome than I imagined.

"Everyone, evacuate the lab immediately! Retreat outside the base!"

Aoba turned around and shouted loudly at the researchers who were still in a daze.

The researchers, who were already terrified, snapped out of their daze upon hearing the shout and rushed toward the exit.
