Chapter 182: Extraordinary Organ: Power Armor!
Chapter 182: Extraordinary Organ: Power Armor!
In the spacious laboratory, the bright operating lights illuminated the surgical table below, revealing every detail.
"If you change your mind now, it's still not too late!"
To Hei looked at his friend, who was now lying down in nothing but his underwear, and asked one last time.
Even with the highest success rates, there was always a chance of failure.
Hearing this, Sanma Koji's usually expressionless face broke into a smile. "I can't wait anymore!"
His confidence in To Hei was even stronger than his own. Even if something went wrong, he wouldn't have a single regret.
Ninjas risk everything to pursue power, and with the opportunity right in front of him, how could he hesitate?
"Then let's begin!"
To Hei administered the anesthetic gas. He could mix it without any difficulty, no need to purchase it.
The surgery involved using White Zetsu cells to construct neural connection points on his body. These points would then connect to the power armor, making it an extension of his body, like hair or fingernails. This way, he could use the armor without risking injury if it was damaged. The downside was that putting it on and taking it off would be a hassle.
To perform this implantation, one needed to be exceptionally skilled in medicine and biology, with the support of alchemy, White Zetsu cells, and medical ninjutsu.
Most importantly, the 'Leap Agent'—essentially To Hei's blood—was required to achieve the final fusion and evolution. Without it, the implant would be useless.
Given these conditions, To Hei was the only one capable of performing this surgery for now.
The entire procedure was smooth and free of any dramatic last-minute crises. To Hei's years of preparation and testing ensured the surgery went flawlessly.
When he finished, Sanma Koji's body was dotted with nine egg-sized white neural connection points, a sight that was both impressive and a bit unsettling.
Through these neural points, he could control the power armor as if it were his own skin.
It was a level of technology that seemed impossible even before his arrival in the ninja world, but here it was, a reality.
After completing the surgery, To Hei's hands glowed with the light of a medical ninjutsu.
He used a healing technique to close the incisions, followed by a classic B-rank medical ninjutsu.
"Technique of Extracting Minutiae!"
This obscure and highly difficult medical ninjutsu wasn't for healing but for detoxification.
However, To Hei knew it had another effect: anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, making it an invaluable assistant during surgery.
This knowledge was rare in the ninja world, a testament to the breadth of his expertise.
As for why he knew medical ninjutsu, it was because he had absorbed all the knowledge from the Konoha Hospital and the additional knowledge gifted by Tsunade. Mastering these techniques wasn't surprising.
S-rank techniques like the Mystical Palm Technique, however, were still beyond his reach for now.
"Finally, it's a success!"
To Hei looked at Sanma Koji on the operating table with satisfaction and then cut off the anesthetic gas.
Given Sanma Koji's formidable body after reaching the first stage of the Divine Ascension, if he hadn't cooperated and To Hei hadn't increased the anesthetic dose, the gas would have been ineffective.
Now, without the continuous supply, he slowly regained consciousness.
Sanma Koji opened his eyes, recognizing the familiar operating lights and surroundings. His awareness began to return.
"Did the surgery... succeed?"
His voice was slow and slightly off.
"Yes!" To Hei nodded and walked to the nearby life support pod, using a scalpel to cut the vine connecting White Zetsu to the power armor.
This was the main event.
Putting on the armor.
The surgery was to enable him to control the power armor, not to provide any immediate enhancement.
Thud, thud!
Sanma Koji sat up from the operating table, his massive and powerful frame exuding a formidable presence. Standing over two meters tall, he towered over ordinary people.
However, compared to the armor in the life support pod, he still looked small.
Swish!
After the nutrient solution was drained, the large life support pod, now nearly five meters tall, opened a glass panel as an entry point.
Staring at the smooth, white power armor in front of him, Koji Yamagata felt a deep connection, as if it were a part of his own bloodline.
After all, it was the luxury enhanced version, and it could ‘recognize its master.’
During its creation, Koji’s blood was used, ensuring that it would be the perfect fit for him in every way.
Swoosh!
The previously airtight white armor suddenly split open at the front, as if a human were spreading their arms to embrace.
Chakra!
It was like DNA, and the power armor recognized Koji’s chakra, causing it to open on its own.
If anyone else tried, even its creator, Douhei, they would only be able to force it open, not make it activate willingly.
Koji stepped into the open power armor, enveloped in darkness.
Even though it looked like he was being consumed by the armor, his trust in Douhei allowed him to remain calm as he was swallowed whole.
Inside his brain, behind his limbs, and at nine other neural connection points, white tendrils from the power armor pierced through, connecting with his nervous system.
Instantly, the sensation of being suffocated turned into a feeling of wearing a light, breathable garment, allowing him to even feel the air currents around him.
Light and airy!
This was Koji’s first impression after connecting with the power armor.
Despite the armor being several centimeters thick, it gave him a sensation of lightness, which took some getting used to.
“The power armor has many functions: it can resist genjutsu, store chakra, reduce weight, and even allow for short bursts of flight,” Douhei explained, listing the special effects.
“Of course, it also significantly boosts your base strength and reaction speed,” he added.
The armor’s ‘muscle bundles,’ modeled after ant structures using White Zetsu cells, granted god-like strength in its powered state. The increased neural reaction speed was inspired by Tsunade’s ‘Body Impact’ medical ninjutsu, which converts chakra into neural impulses, greatly enhancing reaction time for close combat.
Anyone who thought Koji’s larger size would make him clumsy would soon find out just how wrong they were, and they would die with a rhythmic precision.
The power armor’s internal chakra pathways allowed Koji to use ninjutsu without any hindrance, making techniques like walking on water or climbing trees as easy as ever.
The principle behind resisting genjutsu was straightforward.
Camera principle!
No matter how powerful the genjutsu, it couldn’t affect the brain through the visual data transmitted by the armor’s sensors.
However, this function required active use, which would block the wearer’s vision and consume chakra.
These active abilities were very chakra-intensive, so the back of the armor had a half-meter ‘backpack’ with two thrusters at the bottom.
The backpack stored chakra, designed based on the principle of the Yin Seal. Since the armor had its own chakra pathways, it could easily channel and store excess chakra within the backpack.
If the difficulty of creating such pathways in a human body was 100, the difficulty for the backpack was no more than 10.
The chakra storage capacity was limited to about three times the wearer’s maximum, far less than the Yin Seal. However, this enhancement still brought a qualitative change to the wearer’s abilities.
“Be careful, don’t move around too much yet!”
Douhei, noticing Koji’s eagerness, quickly intervened. Koji was now a ‘little superman,’ and Douhei didn’t want the lab to be destroyed before Koji got used to his new strength.
Even if it wasn’t completely destroyed, breaking some of the expensive instruments would be a significant loss.
Money was one thing, but these precious experimental tools were not easy to replace.
Koji, who was about to step out of the containment pod, immediately stopped.
After several hours of gradually familiarizing himself with his ‘new body’ under Douhei’s guidance, Hyuga Seigetsu, who had been waiting outside the door, couldn’t wait any longer and walked in.
Finally, Koji, like a soldier preparing for battle, slowly stepped out of the containment pod and followed the two to the training ground.
Next, they would conduct detailed tests on the power armor’s performance.
Both Douhei and the others were full of anticipation for this extraordinary enhancement.
