"This is the method of precise Chakra control."
Not far from the Konoha camp, in a grove of trees, two figures stood. One of them spoke calmly; it was Uya.
Mitarashi Anko stood beside him, a thoughtful expression on her face.
While waiting for Orochimaru to finish his research, Uya would occasionally give Anko some pointers on her training.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that Uya suddenly had the urge to conduct experiments and tried it out on Anko.
In the original story, Orochimaru, based on Jūgo's body, developed the Cursed Seal and used it on many people. The first person to successfully bear the Cursed Seal was Anko.
Uya wasn't interested in the Cursed Seal; what interested him was how to use Natural Energy to modify other people's bodies and enhance their vitality.
While Uya may not be immortal, his lifespan is far longer than that of an ordinary ninja. However, Kushina, who is beside Uya, is still aging despite being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Uya needs to do is find a way to help Kushina also escape aging.
Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Technique is only a temporary solution; only a true transformation of the body can resist the erosion of time.
Even now, Uya might not show any signs of aging for hundreds of years, because Uya's vitality is simply too strong, and he can draw life force from the Natural Energy of heaven and earth at any time.
However, it is very difficult to transfer this vitality to others, because although it is called vitality, it is essentially Natural Energy, and Natural Energy is very difficult to control.
Being able to control Natural Energy is equivalent to cultivating to Sage Mode, which is something not everyone can easily achieve.
Uya envisioned creating something similar to Cursed Seal to receive Natural Energy.
Uya first taught Anko the precise control of Chakra. The girl's comprehension was quite good, and she grasped everything in a short time. Now she has reached the final stage.
"Thank you for your guidance Lord Uya."
As Uya's words echoed in her mind, a look of understanding gradually appeared in Anko's eyes. Then, she bowed her head respectfully to Uya.
"You are welcome."
Uya smiled slightly and said, "I'm currently making a deal with Orochimaru. Since you're his disciple, giving you some pointers is just a favor."
Hearing Uya say this, Anko felt even more grateful to Uya. Although Uya said he didn't care, Anko knew that Uya's simple guidance was enough to save her from many detours.
"Alright, you can continue your cultivation."
After nodding to Anko Uya, Yu Ye leaped to the treetop and casually sat on a branch, leaning against the trunk.
Anko watched with admiration as Uya leaped onto the treetop, and then began her cultivation.
After Anko's control over Chakra reached roughly the limit for her age, Uya didn't hide anything from her and told her directly that he could help her become stronger, but it required her cooperation and there were certain risks involved.
To Uya's slight surprise, Anko Dou wasn't afraid of danger at all and readily agreed. Moreover, judging from her expression, she seemed extremely willing to let Uya conduct the experiment.
Orochimaru certainly chose a good disciple.
Since Anko was so obedient, Uya treated her even better. Whenever she felt any discomfort or pain while working with her, Uya would stop immediately.
After several such incidents, whether it was luck or Anko truly had a special constitution, a portion of the Natural Energy that Uya injected into her body, after forming a mark, was actually perfectly absorbed by her!
Because Uya created was not Cursed Seal, Anko did not have the three- Tomoe form of the Cursed Seal of Heaven. Instead, a faint small dot appeared between her eyebrows, somewhat like the diamond-shaped Yin Seal left between the eyebrows by Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Technique.
The First Stage of the experiment was successful, Anko's strength jumped directly from near Chunin level to near Jonin level, a whole major level improvement.
Whether it's Chakra reserves, physical speed, or strength, there has been a significant improvement.
When Orochimaru discovered this, he was somewhat amazed, but he didn't have any intention of stopping it. Instead, he was quite interested in what Uya had done.
However, he was busy researching the relationship between the soul and Chakra and didn't have time to study Natural Energy and body modification, so the changes in Anko didn't attract much of his attention.
After completing the First Stage, Anko attributed her increased strength entirely to the power bestowed upon her by Uya Uya, and became increasingly admiring of him. Uya felt somewhat helpless, thinking that this girl seemed to be born without needing to be brainwashed.
After several trials, Uya confirmed that this modification was not only effective on Anko, but also on anyone else, and the success rate was extremely high. Even if it failed, Uya, as the controller, could suppress the Natural Energy at any time, and no accidents would occur.
This modification can slightly enhance the activity of human cells. Although it is only a slight enhancement, Uya estimates that vitality will be increased by at least 30%. In other words, if a person has a lifespan of 100 years, after this modification, they can live to 130 years.
The success of the First Stage piqued Uya's interest even more, so he asked Anko to cooperate with him in the next phase of the experiment. Anko Dou readily agreed, completely oblivious to any sense of danger, and would do whatever Uya asked her to do.
Uya couldn't help but chuckle at this.
Orochimaru's disciple, he was almost going to become his disciple, he was going to snatch him away... no, he should say he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
The Second Stage of the transformation was not so easy. Some bottlenecks appeared, and it failed more than ten times in a row. The reason for the failure was that Uya stopped immediately after noticing that Anko was feeling unwell, without even letting her feel any pain.
Anko felt even more grateful to Uya for this, and even suggested that there was no need to stop, saying that she could endure the pain. Uya simply smiled and did not answer her.
Uya's ideas were completely different from Orochimaru's. After Orochimaru created the Cursed Seal, he randomly experimented on people, regardless of whether the test subjects suffered or died, and only recorded the results.
Uya's view is that if the person undergoing the modification feels uncomfortable, it proves that the modification itself is imperfect and needs further improvement.
The Second Stage of the experiment on Anko was finally completed after dozens of failures. However, this time, it seems that it was truly due to the special constitution of Anko.
In the original story, her ability to be the first to successfully withstand the Cursed Seal of Heaven was due to certain special circumstances. (To be continued.)
