The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The pain in his face cannot be interrupted, nor can it be stopped; he must rely on his own willpower to get through it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Menma's own physical strength can withstand this kind of tearing.

Even if one cannot see inside.

You can also clearly tell from facial numbness that your cells are constantly dividing and reorganizing.

Then new cells emerge.

Essentially, this is a practice that shortens one's lifespan.

Just like Tsunade in the original work who activated the Yin Seal and then used the Creation Regeneration Technique, it seems like she is using a huge amount of chakra to heal herself, but the rapidly dividing cells are consuming her lifespan.

Because human cell division is limited!

But for noodles...

This is no big deal.

If my strength is insufficient and the plan fails, I might die in two years. Why bother about losing my lifespan?

If one's own strength is sufficient, the plan will succeed smoothly.

If one's own bloodline power is further enhanced, and can be elevated to the level of the main branch of the Otsutsuki clan, then what is the lifespan loss caused by this mere cell division!?

The Otsutsuki clan has a near-infinite lifespan.

That's beyond the realm of humanity.

It's a species on a different level.

Therefore, Menma completely disregarded the rapidly dividing and reorganizing cells; everything she did was to strengthen her own power.

'Hold on! Hold on! You absolutely must hold on!'

Mianma strongly suppressed the pain in her body, which felt like it was being torn apart.

Each tremor, each passing second.

For Mianma, it was like hellish torture.

Karin, who was monitoring the equipment nearby, tensed up immediately. Most of these instruments were provided by Shibuki, but the most important and sophisticated ones were obtained from Orochimaru.

In terms of resources, few in the ninja world can compare to Orochimaru.

It is precisely because of these high-standard instruments.

Only then can the smallest cellular changes be detected.

Karin could clearly see the changes in Menma's cells at that moment.

This rate far exceeds any previous experiment, rapidly approaching the critical point that the two of them had initially predicted. What consequences would result if this critical point were exceeded is something that Menma and Karin could not foresee.

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

Karin clasped her hands together tightly, her face filled with worry.

The value is rising little by little.

The exaggerated changes displayed on the instrument.

"what!!!"

And then there was the shrill scream that Ma finally couldn't hold back.

"Menma!?"

Karin's heart was also completely tangled at that moment.

But at this moment, she was unable to do anything.

I could only watch from the sidelines.

This lasted for several minutes.

That was the gradual decrease in the rate of ascent, before finally settling at that critical point.

Karin slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Only then can the anxiety in my heart slowly relax.

"Meat? How are you feeling?"

After quickly recording the relevant data, Karin immediately walked to Menma's side and asked with a concerned look.

"Hmm, it's alright. Although it's much more painful than expected, it's still within a tolerable range. So, have you recorded the numbers? How much does it differ from what you expected?"

Mianma let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head and said with a smile.

"The values ​​have all been recorded. Apart from the cell division rate being much faster than we expected, the other deviations are within an acceptable range. So how do you feel now? Has your physical resilience improved?"

Karin nodded in reply, and after a pause, asked with a hint of curiosity.

All the goals and effects before the experiment were hypothetical and pre-set.

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

Especially when it comes to changes in the body and cells, even Orochimaru wouldn't dare to make a guarantee, let alone for the Uzumaki clan. Before Menma, Orochimaru didn't have a legitimate Uzumaki bloodline for him to study; all the data was based on other cases, and later on, the time was too short.

If Orochimaru had been given a year or two, things might have been different.

That's Orochimaru, after all!

Therefore, this experiment, whether it's menma or karin, is not 100% certain.

It can only be described as a high-probability event.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario, which had a low probability of occurring, did not happen.

"The feeling isn't very obvious yet."

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

This kind of enhanced cellular activity and improved physical adaptability is not a purely overt change; it can be considered a latent improvement.

Even the body that carries the mask can hardly say that it can accurately perceive and judge the changes in its own body.

"I'll give it a try!"

Menma slowly closed his eyes, subtly sensing the changes in his body.

It seemed to possess an even stronger vitality than before.

But it's not very obvious.

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

"boom!"

next second.

The chakra that Menma directly unleashed.

In an instant, it reached the level of having four tails.

The fox's tail swayed upwards.

This sense of expansion can be clearly felt.

Originally, when a tailed beast unleashes more than half of its chakra, it can undergo a half-tailed beast transformation. In the original work, when Naruto fought Orochimaru, his four-tailed or nearly five-tailed form was a half-tailed beast transformation.

However, that guy's outburst was unconscious, and it was the result of being invaded by the Nine-Tails' consciousness and controlled by his own dark side.

In this life, Menma is not controlled by Kurama's consciousness; he gets along quite well with Kurama.

Therefore, whether or not to undergo half-tailed beast transformation depends on Menma himself.

The same applies to Yagura Karatachi and Killer Bee, the two Jinchūriki in their perfect forms.

The form that best suits one's fighting style is the one that Menma relies on. He depends heavily on his various ninjutsu and techniques like the Adamantine Sealing Chains, so he naturally wouldn't fight in a half-tailed beast form.

For Menma right now, the standard for measuring combat power is how much Nine-Tails chakra he can mobilize. Whether or not he transforms into a Tailed Beast doesn't matter much, unless he wants to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball someday, in which case he can definitely give it a try.

However, modern sesame paste can't do that.

With the Eight Trigrams Seal not yet fully released, Menma cannot fully utilize the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"There have been some changes, but they're not very noticeable..."

Carefully sensing the changes in his body and the degree of compatibility with the Nine-Tails' chakra, Menma opened his eyes, a faint look of disappointment in his pupils. He had thought that after going through so many complicated experimental processes and enduring such intense pain, even if he didn't achieve the perfect effect he expected, he should at least achieve half of it. But it seems that at most he has only achieved one-fifth of the expected effect? ​​Or even less?

Menma wasn't entirely sure what level he needed to reach to perfectly withstand and adapt to Kurama's chakra without getting hurt, but he was certain that his current level was definitely not high enough.

In the original work, Naruto was only able to perfectly adapt to the Nine-Tails' chakra when he mastered Sage Mode and was in the very late stages of the story, so he wouldn't be 'burned' by an excessive amount of Nine-Tails' chakra!

Compared to Naruto who has mastered Sage Mode, there is definitely a certain gap between him and Naruto now.

"Even this still doesn't work? Why? Doesn't that mean all our previous efforts were wasted?"

When Karin heard Menma's words, she also showed a look of disappointment and heartache.

Disappointed that all past efforts seem to have been in vain.

The heartache stems from the fact that Menma has already endured so much pain, yet he still cannot achieve his intended goal.

At this moment, Karin was even more emotional than Menma, completely unable to accept the situation before her.

What's even more obvious is that Karin is more concerned about the pain that Menma just endured.

In Karin's eyes now, Menma is her only one.

This is a feeling I've never had since my mother passed away.

If she could, Karin wouldn't even want to see Menma suffer the slightest injury. Is that an exaggeration? Absolutely!

"Hehe, it hasn't come to that point yet. There are still some effects, just not that obvious. We'll have to see how it goes later."

Mianma smiled and shook his head.

As someone who spends every day with Karin, Menma could naturally see what Karin was thinking. At that moment, he showed an increasingly peaceful expression and spoke gently.

"Should we proceed to the next step? We haven't achieved the desired effect yet. If the Nine-Tails' chakra really gets out of control later, it could very well lead to bad results, right?"

Karin pursed her lips, looked up at Menma, and still spoke with a hint of worry.

"That's not something to worry about. The reason we did this in the first place was simply to prevent any accidents. My relationship with Kurama is still quite good, so under normal circumstances, his chakra won't go berserk. The seal still needs to be broken as soon as possible so that I can truly have the confidence to fight against those people and those ninja villages, Karin."

Mianma gently shook his head and said.
