Chapter 166 - 166 (1/2)

After Kushina agreed, Ryo began his preparations.

Changing the genetic arrangement inside his cells was no joke. It required tremendous amounts of mental power, and he couldn't afford to commit any mistakes during the process. An error in sequencing could have extremely severe consequences.

However, Ryo had already changed the structure of his cells forever though Ice elementization. That was the change that allowed him to have the ability to make use of the Ice Element.

Therefore, even if any mishap occurred, Ryo could just immediately enter Ice Elementization to save the situation.

It was because of Ice Elementization that Ryo would go straight into these trials without needing human experimentation.

As a person who had studied medicine for many years, that was where Ryo drew the line.

When ready, Ryo used an Ice Scalpel, cutting his finger while out of Elementization and releasing a few drops of blood. Then, he released a small amount of Natural Energy from his Yin Seal.

After Kurama felt that Natural Energy release, he injected the already prepared Yang Chakra into Ryo's body.

Ryo merged the two into a special Chakra, similar to the regular Senjutsu Chakra. With the help of this Chakra, Ryo's attempt to change the genetic arrangement of the cells inside these drops of blood.

Everything starts difficult. Ryo's first attempt failed for he had used too much of this Chakra.

The second time, Ryo reduced the amount of Chakra, but the process failed due to the lack of Chakra.

….

After over a dozen failures in succession, Ryo finally found the right balance, and the transformation of the 1st cell was finally completed.

This cell was more active than the other cells, but not aggressive toward them. It kept moving around his blood.

In just a few minutes, the other cells in the drops of blood slowly changed due to the influence of this modified cells.

It was like a bunch of coworkers, seeing their colleague being praised by the boss for doing something, and paying attention to that and starting it imitate it.

The 1st to imitate would be also rewarded, and the rest would get jealous and follow their lead as well.

Cells were like that, the closest cell to the initial one changed followed by those next to them and so on.

In the matter of a few minutes, the drops of blood began to radiate extraordinary vitality.

”Hey, this feeling is familiar! It's like the vitally that we the Uzumaki have. But this is clearly Ryo's blood!” Kushina said in surprise.

Seeing the change in the blood, Kurama understood Ryo's idea, but he still didn't understand how he actually did it. Is this science?!

Feeling the great vitality in the blood, Ryo couldn't help but smile, but his expression turned serious again very quickly.

What he did just now was determining the amount of Chakra needed to modify a single cell outside of his body. Now, the real deal begins.

Ryo released much greater amounts of Natural Energy from his Yin Seal, and the it flew into his body far more than before.

Kurama also injected far more Yang Chakra within Ryo's body.

Ryo as before merged the two energies into this new Special Chakra, and then began to change the genetic arrangement of cells in the vicinity of his heart.

The heart provides pressure for blood flow, to get blood to all parts of his body. By changing the genetic arrangement of cells in the vicinity of his heart, he could fill the body with new cells as quickly as possible.

Basing off of the previous success he had, Ryo completed the transformation of the 1st cell in his body, and modified cells began to flow in his body with blood.
