Yahiko Transplants the Rinnegan
Chapter 98 Yahiko Transplants the Rinnegan
It is often the circumstances that change people, not the other way around.
Yahiko wanted to change the world, but in the end, he was changed by the world.
"It's dangerous for you to inherit the Rinnegan, because your constitution simply cannot support the use of the Rinnegan."
"If you want to withstand the Rinnegan, you need to undergo a body enhancement surgery. Let me make it clear first, the body enhancement surgery has a very low success rate and you're likely to die. You can consider it."
"No need to think about it, proceed with the surgery."
With a blank look in his eyes, Yahiko replied, "If I cannot inherit the Rinnegan, then I will go and join everyone."
"Yahiko..."
Xiao Nan called out worriedly.
Yahiko gave a bitter smile. "I'm sorry, Konan. I have to do this; it's my responsibility as the leader of Akatsuki."
"Absolutely, get ready. We'll start with the white axe cell transplant, then the primary cell transplant. Whether it succeeds or not depends on this kid's luck."
Black Zetsu nodded and burrowed underground to prepare to use the equipment.
Madara was able to live for so long because of Black Zetsu. If Black Zetsu hadn't guided Madara to summon the Gedo Mazo and continuously supplied him with energy...
With Ban's old and frail body, he would have died long ago.
"Come with me. The war is over. We can't leave the Akatsuki members to rot in the wilderness."
Yahiko personally buried the Akatsuki members' bodies.
"Let's go. If you fail, I'll bury you with me."
Uchiha Teru took out a complete set of detection devices from the scroll and surrounded Yahiko.
"I need your body data. These instruments will help me better understand your physical condition so that I can formulate the appropriate medication."
"Concentrate, or you'll die."
Uchiha Teru inserted the syringe into Yahiko's chest and then slowly implanted it into Yahiko's body.
"This is a specially formulated leukemia cell injection solution that will penetrate your entire body."
"Ah ah..."
Yahiko screamed and struggled to get up from the lab table.
Uchiha Teru watched quietly without intervening.
The moment he stood up, Yahiko used his strong willpower to lie back down.
"Yahiko..."
Xiao Nan looked worried.
"Don't worry, this is just an appetizer, it's not time to worry yet."
Uchiha Teru kept adjusting the data on the instrument, but his words made Konan even more worried.
White Zetsu is truly a magical thing.
Uchiha Teru looked at Yahiko's data and sighed repeatedly.
While White Zetsu are strong, aside from extremely special White Zetsu like Tobi, the rest are only at the level of Chunin or Genin.
While White Zetsu may seem weak, even Jonin cannot match its stealth capabilities.
This is probably because the humans of Kaguya Otsutsuki's era were trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi and corrupted by the Divine Tree within the Gedo Mazo.
White Zetsu were used by Kaguya Otsutsuki to deal with pursuers, so they couldn't be too weak.
Perhaps Tobi, this special White Zetsu, is the only qualified one, while Hashirama Senju is the final product in Kaguya Otsutsuki's vision.
Unfortunately, the Gedo Mazo itself doesn't even have enough chakra now, so how could it possibly train White Zetsu?
Without the nourishment of the Gedo Mazo, White Zetsu could only continuously degenerate, becoming the weak but stable state it is in now.
As for the ability to conceal oneself and the powerful vitality, these are remnants, characteristics left over from the corruption by the Ten-Tails.
Thus, White Zetsu, once a powerful biological weapon against the Otsutsuki, became cannon fodder and grunts.
As Uchiha Akira continued to manipulate the device, Yahiko's struggles grew weaker and weaker, but his heartbeat became stronger and his breathing became longer and longer.
"The preliminary surgery was successful. Now we will transplant the Rinnegan and then perform the first-generation cell transplant surgery."
"Without the Rinnegan, you would probably be directly devoured by the First Hokage's cells."
Yahiko paused for a moment, then said, "Let's continue."
Transplanting the Rinnegan is relatively simple; the difficulty lies in post-transplant care.
Yahiko is now like Kakashi after he received the Sharingan; most of his chakra has been absorbed by the transplanted eye.
Kakashi was somewhat better off, but Yahiko could clearly feel the burden that the Rinnegan placed on him.
If it weren't for the White Zetsu cell transplant surgery, Yahiko would probably have died from the backlash of the Rinnegan by now.
"Should we continue? Hashirama cells are not like the small-scale attacks we've had before; they can kill you."
Uchiha Teru looked at Yahiko, who had switched to the Rinnegan, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Yahiko had not sensed the mimicry insects.
"Now that I've transplanted Nagato's eyes, the burden of the Rinnegan prevents me from doing anything, so it's pointless. Let's continue."
Uchiha Teru injected the prepared Hashirama cells into Yahiko's form.
"Using the Rinnegan, the Rinnegan's pupil power has the ability to suppress Hashirama cells."
After being injected with the Hashirama cells, Yahiko did not struggle violently like the White Zetsu cells, because he no longer had the strength to struggle.
Yahiko's body throbbed incessantly, as if something was fighting inside him.
"The fusion of Hashirama cells is indeed dangerous. If it weren't for the White Zetsu cells protecting him, Yahiko would have turned into a chaotic ball of flesh by now."
Uchiha Teru sighed, then injected high-quality Yin Release into Yahiko's body, suppressing the rampaging Hashirama cells.
Then gradually release the power, allowing Yahiko to fuse with it using the power of the Rinnegan.
Yahiko recalled the dead Akatsuki members, his eyes filled with pain, and then he used all the power of his Rinnegan.
A fierce battle with the interstitial cells.
While inputting high-quality Yin Release to suppress Hashirama's cells, Uchiha Teru also injected nutrient solution into Yahiko.
Fusing with the Hashirama cells consumes a great deal of energy, both mentally and physically.
Time passed second by second, under Xiao Nan's increasingly worried gaze.
"I didn't expect you to actually pull through. The pain of fusing with Hashirama's cells can drive a person mad."
"My heart is already as withered as wood."
Yahiko's indifferent voice rang out. His vitality was incredibly strong, yet he couldn't bring that dead heart back to life.
A large amount of chakra was extracted by Yahiko to nourish the Rinnegan, and also to allow the mimicry insects to better integrate with the Rinnegan.
Yahiko continued:
"The ninjas here are not innocent; they are cunning, greedy, and tyrannical."
"The nobles here are not noble; they are selfish, arrogant, and treacherous."
"I used to be angry about it and wanted to change everything, but now I pity them. It's a dark and twisted world."
"They are selfish from birth, but now it is my turn to give them understanding."
Uchiha Hikaru put the equipment away; these were very valuable.
"Although you have received a Rinnegan transplant, given your current condition, you will need some time to adapt."
"Soon, I will realize everyone's dreams."
Yahiko muttered to himself.
"Yahiko!"
Konan's voice softened Yahiko's cold expression.
"I'm fine."
Two chapters first, more tonight.
