High Plain of Heaven.
On a plain, a weasel lay flat on a bed suspended in mid-air, its upper body clothing completely undone, with several thick tubes inserted straight into its exposed skin.
Itachi gazed at the azure sky, his eyes somewhat unfocused.
This transplant is a little different from what I expected.
Uchiha Mirai's expression also showed some helplessness.
If he were to perform the transplant himself, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
Just imitate Uchiha Madara, make a cut in your body, and stuff a piece of flesh inside.
But Itachi is different.
The itachi's body is too fragile.
The pressure from the Mangekyo Sharingan, coupled with the aftereffects of the nuclear radiation stimulating his potential, meant his body was simply unable to withstand any significant impact.
These pipes are the channels through which the Godzilla cell fluid, diluted countless times, is injected.
Only this method can maximize the success rate of weasel transplantation.
"Itachi, get ready."
Uchiha Mirai a serious reminder.
"Um."
Itachi took a deep breath, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.
He knew the importance of the transplant and could not allow any deviation.
Soon, under Uchiha Mirai's control, a viscous, milky-white liquid was slowly injected into Itachi's body through a tube about the thickness of a thumb.
The moment the liquid was injected, Itachi's expression twitched, and he clenched his fists tightly, his teeth clenching.
His muscles bulged out in a menacing manner, with prominent blue veins.
Itachi's forehead was covered in sweat as he felt a tremendous force invading his body and surging wildly inside him.
It's as if he's now a tattered doll, riddled with holes inside.
"Hold on, Itachi!"
The sound of Uchiha Mirai in his ear made his eyes suddenly harden.
Don't give up!
He clenched his teeth, as if a tremendous force was surging within his body, suppressing the strange movements inside.
The Mangekyo Sharingan had already turned on unconsciously, and within its scarlet eyeballs, the jet-black patterns resembling Shuriken were filled with bloodshot veins.
The weasel's clothes were soaked with sweat, and strands of sweat clung to his forehead.
Itachi remained silent, only clenching his teeth.
He didn't want to disappoint the Uchiha Mirai.
That mountain, which I had always only been able to look up at, had never been so close before.
If I can just get through this, I'll be qualified to become Brother Future's disciple, right?
That's what Itachi was thinking.
He must persevere for this seemingly unattainable goal.
Finally, the milky liquid in the pipe gradually disappeared, and the suffocating pressure began to subside.
"Teacher... I... I did it..."
A forced smile appeared on Itachi's pale face.
The next second, he fainted.
Uchiha Mirai raised her hand with satisfaction, and a pale blue halo slowly enveloped Itachi's body.
"Well done, Itachi."
Under the healing light, Itachi slowly opened his eyes. He tried to raise his right hand, as if his body now contained immense power.
He opened his palm, and a jet-black bud grew rapidly from nothing into a thick, black branch in an instant.
Itachi's pupils twitched!
Wood Release???
Why is it black?
And this aura...
"Brother Future, is this the powerful force you mentioned before?"
Itachi seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Uchiha Mirai with burning eyes.
Uchiha Mirai nodded.
"That's right, Wood Release, and a completely new version of Wood Release."
A brand new version of Wood Release?
Itachi stared intently at the branch in his palm, though he didn't fully understand what Future Brother meant.
However, this peculiar Wood Release seems to be more powerful than ordinary Wood Release.
These jet-black branches seemed harder than steel.
Itachi had never seen Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, but he had seen Sarutobi Tenzo's Wood Release.
During the Hokage election ceremony, Sarutobi Hiruzen's grandson, Tenzō, suddenly launched a sneak attack using Wood Release, but was defeated by Uchiha Mirai with a single finger.
Itachi was there; he witnessed that scene firsthand.
Compared to the black Wood Release technique in his own hands, Tenzō's wood release technique was utterly worthless.
Itachi was certain that he could easily defeat his attack even with just a single branch.
Thump! Thump!
Itachi felt his heart pounding violently, and he became frenzied with excitement.
Wood Release and Sharingan are Konoha's two most powerful abilities!
Especially Wood Release, the Kekkei Genkai of the First Hokage of Konoha, the power of the God of Shinobi to quell the chaos of the world.
When villagers talk about these two powers, they always mention Wood Release above the Sharingan.
It is universally acknowledged as divine power!
And now, such power resides in the palm of his hand, even more powerful than before.
This unreal feeling gave Itachi a dreamlike, fantastical experience.
Uchiha Mirai watched this scene with a faint smile.
He wasn't surprised at all that Itachi had awakened Wood Release.
The pitch-black Wood Release is a unique Wood Release within the Godzilla system.
As Planet Godzilla naturally possesses the ability to manipulate trees!
As the master of Planet Godzilla, he doesn't even need a transplant to use this ability.
He simply rarely uses his Mangekyo Sharingan and Godzilla powers.
"Now that your transplant has been successful, I have another gift for you."
Uchiha Mirai gave a faint smile.
Another gift...?
Itachi was stunned, not understanding what Uchiha Mirai meant.
Suddenly, a shadow descended, a huge shadow instantly covering most of the plain, and the weasel trembled as it raised its head.
He saw a gigantic Godzilla, its body like a mountain, exhaling white steam-like breath from its nostrils.
"From today onwards, it will be your summoned beast."
