Senju Chen stood in the center of the training ground, looking at the remains of the clone on the ground that had just been suppressed by Wood Release, and frowned slightly.
After sending Uchiha Fugaku away, Senju Chen came to the training ground and started studying the enhanced version Wood Release Clone.
At this time, black tentacles were scattered on the ground like withered vines, with dark red traces of Tailed Beast Chakra still remaining on them. There was a burnt smell in the air, mixed with the smell of blood, which made people sick.
"Tsk... this is the third time."
Senju Chen squatted down and poked the inactive tentacles with his fingers. The touch was cold, like touching the skin of a dead person.
He stood up and reviewed the experimental process in his mind.
The creation of Wood Release Clone went smoothly. The implantation of the tentacles of Earth Grudge Fear was no problem. Even in the early stages of integration, everything developed as expected.
But the problem is with the Tailed Beast cell.
When the small group of cells extracted from Three-Tails was injected into the clone, the entire experimental body was like a ignited explosive barrel, instantly out of control.
Before even having time to apply "Sealing Jutsu", Wood Release Clone, which was implanted with Earth Grudge Fear, went berserk.
Black tentacles grew crazily, from the clone's back, chest, limbs... almost every pore was sprouting tentacles. Those tentacles twisted like living creatures, beating the ground, leaving deep ravines on the hard rock.
What's even more frightening is that dark red Chakra Cloak. Tailed Beast's consciousness began to appear on those tentacles, which seemed to be transmitted to the cloned body through the cells, turning the entire experimental body into an uncontrollable monster.
If Senju Chen hadn't reacted quickly enough and directly wrapped the entire experimental body with Wood Release, I'm afraid this thing would have rushed out of the training ground and demolished half of the Senju mansion.
"It seems... the amount of Tailed Beast cells is still too much."
Senju Chen took out a small notebook from his pocket and turned to the page where the experimental data was recorded.
It is densely covered with numbers and symbols.
The first experiment: Earth Resentment Yu Tentacles
The second experiment: 2 Earthly Resentful Yu Tentacles, 0.3 grams of Tailed Beast Cells, the result - the clone barely maintained its form, but immediately went berserk after injecting the Tailed Beast Cells, lasting 8 seconds.
The third experiment: Earthly Resentment Yu tentacle × 1, tailed beast cells 0.1g, the result - the clone performed stably in the early stage of fusion, but lost control after the tailed beast cells were completely fused, lasting 15 seconds.
Senju Chen stared at these data and fell into deep thought.
"The problem is not the amount..."
He muttered to himself.
"It lies in the order and method of integration."
He reopened the research report on Earth Grudge Fear and his eyes fell on one of the paragraphs.
"The essence of Earth Grudge Fear is to transform the body through black tentacles so that the body can accommodate multiple hearts. And each heart is an independent source of Chakra."
"That is to say..."
Senju Chen's eyes lit up.
"The core of Earth Grudge Fear is not the tentacle itself, but the heart."
"Because I did not implant the heart into Wood Release Clone, Earth Grudge Fear had no carrier. The injection of Tailed Beast cells caused Earth Grudge Fear to become the direct carrier of Tailed Beast cells. This is the key to failure."
"If I first implant the heart with Sealing Jutsu into the clone, then inject the Earth Grudge Fear tentacles, and finally fuse the Tailed Beast cells..."
A smile appeared on Senju Chen's lips.
"Maybe it will work."
The fourth experiment.
Senju Chen once again creates a Wood Release Clone.
This time, he did not rush to implant the Earth Grudge Fear tentacle, but first took out a heart from the storage scroll.
This was taken from Orochimaru. The owner of the heart was an elite Chunin and was good at Fire Release. Although his strength is not top-notch, it is enough for experiments.
Senju Chen Put your heart on the clone's chest and apply Sealing Jutsu with both hands Hand Seals.
A light blue light emerged from his hand and enveloped the heart. The heart began to slowly sink into the clone's chest and merged with the clone's body.
After a few seconds, the light dissipated.
A slight scar appeared on the clone's chest, but it was quickly repaired by Wood Release's regeneration ability.
Senju Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on the clone's chest, feeling the heartbeat coming from inside.
"Dong... dong... dong..."
The rhythm is smooth and nothing unusual.
"Very good."
Senju Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Next, the Earth Grudge Fear tentacle is implanted.
Like living creatures, black tentacles emerged from Senju Chen's palm, penetrated into the clone's skin, and spread along the meridian system. The clone's body began to tremble slightly, and black lines appeared on the surface of the skin.
Those lines are like blood vessels, extending from the back to the limbs, and finally converge to the heart position on the chest.
Senju Chen stared closely at the changes in the clone, and had Wood Release's seal ready in his hand.
Once there is any abnormality, he will immediately take action to suppress it.
But this time...
The clone's body gradually stabilized.
The black lines no longer spread, but are fixed on the surface of the skin, forming a strange pattern.
"Success?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Senju Chen's eyes.
But he calmed down quickly.
"It's not enough. The most critical step hasn't started yet."
He took a deep breath and took out a small bottle from his arms.
The bottle contained a small group of dark red cell tissue. Those were Tailed Beast cells extracted from Five-Tails. After special treatment, their activity was suppressed to a minimum.
Senju Chen opened the bottle, picked up the group of cells with tweezers, and carefully placed it on the clone's chest.
Then, with his hands Hand Seals.
A green light surged out from his hand and enveloped the group of Tailed Beast cells. The cells began to slowly integrate into the clone's body, intertwined with the Wood Release Chakra and Earth Grudge Fear tentacles.
The clone's body began to tremble again.
This time, the tremors were greater than before.
Senju Chen could clearly see something crawling under the clone's skin.
The black tentacles began to become restless, as if they felt some kind of threat, and began to frantically absorb the surrounding Chakra.
And that group of Tailed Beast cells is also expanding crazily, trying to erode the clone's body.
The two forces collided fiercely in the body, making a "chichi" sound.
Senju Chen can feel that Chakra in the clone's body is fluctuating violently. If the control is not good, this experimental subject will lose control again at any time.
"Hold still..."
He increased the output of Wood Release Chakra, trying to use the power of Wood Release to suppress the erosion of Tailed Beast cells.
The green light became brighter and brighter, almost lighting up the entire training ground.
The clone's body began to change.
The black lines on the surface of the skin became clearer, as if they were branded. And at the intersection of those lines, dark red light spots began to appear.
That's the trace of Tailed Beast Chakra.
But this time, those Chakra didn't get out of control.
They are firmly bound by black tentacles and cannot spread. Wood Release Chakra is like a protective film, wrapping the blood vessel-like Earth Grudge Fear, blocking the erosion of Tailed Beast consciousness.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Senju Chen's Chakra was consumed quickly, but he did not stop.
He knew that this was the most critical moment.
If it can survive, this experimental subject will succeed.
If you can't survive it...
Then we can only do it again.
Finally.
The green light began to slowly fade.
The clone's body no longer trembles, and Wood Release Clone's appearance has returned to the color of normal human skin.
Senju Chen took back his hand and gasped for air.
His face was a little pale, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down his cheeks.
But his eyes were shining with excitement.
"Success..."
