Chapter 230 - End of the Experiment

After dealing with Danzo, Ryo was feeling better. During the following few days, he trained Shisui rigorously in the 3rd training ground.

Suddenly, he received a letter from Orochimaru.

It said that the Lain’s experiment had undergone a special change. His face changed greatly, and he immediately said goodbye to Shisui, teleporting to Orochimau’s lab.

“Orochi san, what happened?” As soon as he arrived, he asked Orochimaru.

The latter handed him a scroll with the data on the experiment, and it made him concerned.

From the scroll, he learned that the integration process was going very smoothly, until today.

What happened concerned Lain’s Chakra. Since the experiment started, her Chakra levels were rising greatly and steadily. However, on that day’s morning, they suddenly dropped! Orochimaru couldn’t figure out why this happened, so he could only immediately send for Ryo.

After returning the scroll to Orochimaru, Ryo rushed to the glassware where lain was placed. He hadn’t seen her for a while now, so at first glance, he frowned in surprise.

Her body was completely ok, her vitality was even greater that what he had seen before, indicating that the fusion process was going very smoothly. So, how come her Chakra was dropping so much?

A few minutes later, Ryo just had to leave the lab. Just like Orochimaru, he couldn’t find the problem.

In the next few days, Ryo returned the lab frequently to check how Lain was doing.

Her Chakra stores continued to drop steadily over the course of the next three days, only to suddenly rise on the fourth! In just one day, they exceeded their initial levels!

In the glassware, her Chakra stores soared so fast; she absorbed all of the nutrients placed by Orochimaru’s bio-fluid he placed around her, gradually changing its color from green to transparent.

Orochimaru quickly noticed, changing the liquid with new supplies.

With this new nutritional support, her Chakra stores continued to rise, but slowly. Her body also began to exude strong vitality similar to that of Hashirama’s cells.

This change made Orochimaru particularly excited. With all these symptoms that Lain’s body had manifested, he was practically certain that the experiment was a success. Now, she only needed a steady nutrient supply, and she should eventually be able to use Wood Release.

Ryo shared these views with Orochimaru. He also felt that Lain was now out of the danger zone, and that the integration was complete.

After confirming her safety, he returned to rigorously training Shisui in the 3rd training ground.

However, now another kid accompanied Shisui often to training: Uchiha Itachi!

He came every day to practice in the third training ground, but Ryo didn’t want to interfere with his growth, and never accepted his as a student.

Still, this was Fugaku’s son, a man who had been very kind to Ryo. Therefore, he never drove him away.

Learning that the famous Ryo Yamanaka was training Shisui, Itachi came religiously to practice here, becoming the newest addition to the 3rd training ground’s “roaster”.

His fire release talent was much stronger than that of Shisui. The 5 year old was able to learn many of the Uchiha’s fire release techniques.

His Genjutsu talent was also very good, mainly reflected in his Spiritual Power that far exceeded that of an average five year old.
