Experiment Failed
"Goodbye meow~"
Hina waved her paw with a smile.
"Goodbye, I'll bring you Matatabi Drinks when I have time."
Lin Ke replied, leaving with Utakata and the Shadow.
The communication with Granny Cat was unexpectedly easy, because she recognized him and mentioned that Sasuke had been there a few days ago—
Most likely preparing for the Chunin Exams.
The Scroll was already in hand, but the electronic equipment for the Base would take some time. Granny Cat's exact words were, "This isn't an electronics store," but for the sake of money, the old lady still agreed with a smile.
Of course, there was definitely some premium involved, but it couldn't be helped.
The main reason Lin Ke didn't go to the Land of Fire bank to exchange currency and then buy from a regular store was that he didn't want to leave a record.
After all, he was building his own secret Base, and he wanted to keep the information as confidential as possible. He considered the extra money spent as hush money for the black market merchant.
Leaving Granny Cat's Ninja Tool Shop, he summoned the Earth Dragon and took Utakata to an open flat ground.
"Tailed Beast Transformation," Lin Ke ordered.
Utakata was stunned for a moment, then remembered the situation when cleaning up the battlefield. Realizing what Lin Ke wanted, he said, "You want to collect Tailed Beast Chakra?"
He frowned and thought for a moment. "The power of the Tailed Beasts cannot be used directly."
"The power of the Tailed Beasts contains two things," he explained. "Tailed Beast Chakra and the will of the Tailed Beast. Because of the influence of the Tailed Beast's will, theoretically, no one can use Tailed Beast Chakra except for the Jinchuriki who is one with the Tailed Beast."
Unless they were a Perfect Jinchuriki who had come to an understanding with their Tailed Beast.
Of course, Lin Ke knew this. He knew the Naruto manga inside and out, and he was extremely familiar with this basic setting. Without any change in expression, he said, "Tailed Beast Transformation."
Utakata didn't refuse. He was curious about what this kid wanted to do, so he directly began to seize Tailed Beast Chakra, entering a complete Tailed Beast Transformation state.
With the cooperation of the Jinchuriki, Lin Ke effortlessly harvested a large number of Tailed Beast Chakra chunks using the Chakra Scalpel.
However, he didn't cut off the entire Tailed Beast cloak, but only a small half, and the Tailed Beast Transformation automatically released.
"Hoo~" Utakata gasped for breath, saying, "There can't be a second time in a short period. My Chakra is being consumed too much, and—"
He paused, his expression a little strange. "Saiken hates you."
Not only that, but Saiken inside him had even scolded him just now. It seemed that being cut open by that Ninja Tool was a kind of harm to the Tailed Beast.
Perhaps what was cut off was not just pure physical Chakra, but also the will inside...
Utakata guessed it was rare enough for Saiken, who was usually good-tempered, to curse and actively withdraw Chakra, releasing the Tailed Beast Transformation.
Lin Ke, filled with the joy of a farmer's harvest, sealed up the chunks of Tailed Beast Chakra one by one. It didn't matter if there couldn't be a second time in a short period. This was already enough for him to use for a while, and then crazily increase his combat power.
When the Shadow was updated, he couldn't imagine how strong he would be.
Beating Orochimaru with fists and kicking the Akatsuki Organization is just around the corner. Tailed Beasts, give me a lot of gold coins!
He was ready. Once the new version of the Eight Gates Shadow was made, he would quickly go to Orochimaru's Base to wreak havoc. The location of the snake den had already been pinpointed, all that was missing was him.
Then he would start hunting down members of the Akatsuki Organization. He was so strong, waiting for the Akatsuki Organization to make a move would be stupid.
As long as he avoided Obito, Itachi, and Pain, with his control of the Shadow Legion and three Elite Jonin, the other members of Akatsuki would not be his opponents. Even Kisame Hoshigaki wouldn't do.
Hunt down Akatsuki, collect Tailed Beasts, continue to become stronger, and finally kill Pain and steal the Rinnegan—
Who in The World could resist him? Lin Ke deeply exhaled a breath of stale air. At this moment, his ambition was growing vigorously.
Perhaps I don't have to destroy the Rinnegan. I can also install the Rinnegan. If I gamble on becoming the Ten Tails Jinchuriki, then The World...
All his thoughts gathered in his heart, finally turning into a smile on his face.
"Let's go, I'll take you to our Base."
...
Half a month later, on a small island near the Land of Waves.
"Roar!"
The Earth Dragon roared heartily, rushing into the sky, circling and flying freely in the air for a long time before landing, prostrating in front of Lin Ke, its eyes full of joy, its body beginning to peel off.
"Ka~ Ka~"
Its huge eyes closed, its body quickly turned ochre, and soon after the scales completely fell off, it completely turned into a stone sculpture.
"Failed again."
Lin Ke frowned, the coordination between the Earth Dragon and the Shadow Clone had failed once more. After the Earth Dragon's shadow swallowed the Tailed Beast Chakra cube's shadow, it did allow the Earth Dragon to break free from the category of Ninjutsu and become a new lifeform.
But just like the shadow hadn't obtained enough Tailed Beast Chakra, its body quickly perished.
Nearly ten statues of varying sizes like this had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Does creating an Earth Dragon require a more massive amount of Tailed Beast Chakra?
He roughly guessed the reason. The amount the shadow could separate was based on him as a template. How big and how strong it could be was limited and fixed. But for the Earth Dragon, a monster from a certain game in his previous life, whose size should theoretically be as large as a mountain range...
The upper limit of Ninjutsu might be the size the Earth Dragon should have in the game.
Limited Tailed Beast Chakra couldn't create a mountain-sized monster, just like a small amount of Tailed Beast Chakra couldn't make the shadow independent.
Perhaps he should directly capture a Tailed Beast and then use the Tailed Beast's shadow to create the Earth Dragon...
Then it's probably the same for Stands.
Lin Ke sighed. He had hesitated for so long before preparing to try, but he ran into a wall with the Earth Dragon.
The Earth Dragon was already very powerful according to its settings, but Stands were even more exaggerated, with all sorts of special rule-based abilities. Just how much Tailed Beast Chakra would be needed to create them was enough to make one's eyes go dark.
Later, he'd find a chance to try with some Stands that didn't have such special abilities. Maybe it would work?
However, I can't continue to waste Tailed Beast Chakra on creating Earth Dragons.
Lin Ke took out his notebook and crossed out the 'Earth Dragon' item. Tailed Beast Chakra was limited, so it was better to save it for making shadows.
At least it was a real improvement in combat power.
Moreover, Saiken was becoming more and more disobedient. Utakata couldn't even trick Saiken into coming out, even when he deliberately fell into a coma. The key was that the Tailed Beasts could chat mentally. If the news accidentally leaked out in the future, how would he obtain Tailed Beast Chakra?
Once I've made the remaining shadows, I'll go back to the village and take a look.
