Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 476 Test Subject No. 1

Kaito had seen the Zero-Tails Jinchuriki forms of Mei and the others before.

Although their combat power was slightly stronger than that of ordinary jonin, that was purely due to the basic quality improvement brought by the size and chakra of the Zero-Tails.

After transforming into the Zero-Tails, the Jinchūriki will completely lose his sanity and consciousness, and will fight without any order.

What's even worse is that this thing can't rely on absorbing negative emotions from the outside world to continuously restore its own dark chakra like the 'genuine' Zero-Tail. It just forcibly drains the Jinchūriki's own vitality.

If it weren't for Kaito's timely appearance, if the situation hadn't been delayed any longer, Terumi Mei and others might have been drained dry by the Zero Tail in their bodies.

There are indeed a lot of negative effects.

Kaito felt that it was a waste of human resources just to train death squads.

Not to mention that after Zero Tail transforms, the main body will show some symptoms of alienation, which seriously affects its appearance.

If there are still so many negative effects now, Kaito will probably have to take the initiative to reject this "enhancement" on behalf of Zabuza.

Zabuza has good talent. If he is trained well, he will be able to reach the level of a weak kage in the future. There is no need for him to take shortcuts now.

The other few people also looked at the researcher in front of them with concern, as if they were facing a dilemma outside the delivery room: whether to save the eldest or the youngest.

Instead, Zabuza himself, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked up at the sky with an indifferent expression.

For him, the real increase in strength that he can feel is what he desires most.

Zabuza now no longer wants to feel the powerlessness brought by weakness.

Especially after seeing his former idol, Karatachi Yagura, go astray.

The researcher first looked at the Mizukage, Kaito, and then spoke a little stiffly.

"There is currently no way to completely eradicate it. If we just keep the Zero Tail in Zabuza's body."

"The Zero Tail will continue to absorb the negative emotions left by those spirit bodies and continue to grow. It is expected that when the Zero Tail in Zabuza-sama's body grows to a certain extent, the protective ability of the seal will be insufficient, and it is very likely that it will continue to absorb Zabuza's chakra and life energy."

"And the chakra extracted by a normal ninja should not be enough to sustain continuous extraction at the level of Zero Tail."

Kaito also frowned slightly when he heard this.

The so-called life energy, to put it simply, is life span.

In the current situation, although the Zero Tail in Zabuza's body may bring him a certain improvement in combat power in a short period of time.

But when the time comes to start extracting lifespans, he thinks the size of the tail won't be too small.

Judging from the size of his tailed beast, it's hard to say whether Zabuza's life energy is enough to let Zero Tail take a sip.

And this is not the kind of extraction that consumes chakra in battle, but rather provides growth for the Zero Tail in his body.

Therefore, even if Zabuza does not fight, this extraction will not stop.

Kaito thought for a moment and then continued to ask.

"So now unless there is another way to completely eradicate this Zero Tail, we must find an energy source that can replace Zabuza's own energy before it grows up, right?"

The researcher was stunned when he heard this. He thought that the Mizukage would suggest continuing to look for ways to eradicate Zero Tail, but he didn't expect that he was thinking of feeding Zero Tail with energy.

Fortunately, he was responsible for Zabuza's treatment, so his knowledge in this area was naturally not bad, so he hurriedly explained.

"If you just want to provide energy for Zero Tail's growth, there are other ways."

"For example, the negative emotion absorption barrier left behind, or if the mental remnants on Zabuza-sama are really souls, continuing to kill people to increase the number of mental remnants should be able to solve it."

"We estimate that the growth of the Zero Tail in Zabuza's body should have a limit. When it grows to the limit, it will start to replenish itself and absorb energy from the outside world to maintain itself, just like..."

Having said that, the researcher looked at Ao who was standing beside him. The meaning was self-evident.

After all, Zero Tail was originally created to counter the Tailed Beasts.

"It's just that Zero Tail is a collection of negative emotions after all, and its current growth is mixed with the spiritual remnants of Zabuza-sama. I'm worried that if we continue to use negative emotions as fuel for its growth, it is very likely that the evil thoughts mixed in with Zero Tail will be too heavy to be controlled manually."

"Even the Zero-Tail Jinchuriki himself is likely to be affected by negative emotions and go crazy."

"Unless."

As he spoke, the researcher looked at Ao again.

This made Ao, who had been listening attentively, very angry.

Ao didn't tolerate the other party and asked angrily.

"Don't talk in circles just tell us, unless what?!"

The researcher was startled when he heard this and continued quickly.

"Unless the energy that Mizukage-sama is talking about is relatively mild, and the sealing method is abandoned in the early stages of Zero Tail's growth and it is directly infused. In this way, the Zero Tail in the body will be washed by a larger source of energy, reducing the impact of negative emotions. It is even possible that the final product is no longer a simple Zero Tail."

At this moment, everyone looked at Ao with strange expressions.

'I didn't expect that the rumor about Three Tails's gentle personality would become so popular.'

However, although the suggestion made by this researcher seems feasible, it is not actually a clear solution.

This method of sealing a part of chakra in other people's bodies is different from the consumption in normal daily combat.

For Three Tails, it is undoubtedly like cutting flesh.

Although it is not clear how much flesh will be cut from the three tails if this zero tail is cultivated to the limit.

But after Minato sealed half of the Nine-Tails, although the Nine-Tails was still a tailed beast with infinite chakra, its actual size was several times smaller.

It is obvious that the Three-Tails, which had just formed a bond with Ao not long ago, would not agree to such an act of cutting off one's own flesh for Zabuza.

Kaito's strength does give him a chance to force Three Tails to agree.

But if that happens, Ao will probably never be able to get Three Tails's true recognition again.

That's all.

'I don't just have one Three Tails!'

Thinking of this, Kaito was not going to delay any further. According to what the researcher had just said, the longer this thing was delayed, the more negative emotions would take over.

He also improved Zabuza's combat power, but in the end he was still a subordinate under the command of Kaito.

Kaito is currently worried that the high-end combat power of the Kirigakure Village is of insufficient quality but scarce in number.

So he simply turned around and waved to everyone.

"Ao-sensei, you guys go out first. I have something I want to talk to Zabuza about. If it's nothing serious, I should be able to solve Zabuza's problem."

Several people were confused when they heard this.

However, thanks to the confidence given to them by the reliable attributes that Kaito had always demonstrated, everyone stopped talking nonsense and turned around and left the clinic obediently.

Only Kaito and Zabuza lying on the hospital bed were left.

Kaito looked at Zabuza who was sitting there and still seemed to be unresponsive.

A signature smirk appeared on his face that hadn't been seen in a long time.

"How about it? Are you interested in becoming the first experiment in my energy battery project?"
