Chapter 372 - Ch.373 Nourishment of All Creation Power
"I believe in you!"
In the end, Shinji nodded. In front of Karin, he exerted force with his hand, crushing the suppressant syringe.
Drip.
Drip.
In an instant, the crystalline suppressant flowed from the broken tube, spilling onto the ground.
Seeing the suppressant that could have saved her life destroyed, Karin didn't panic. Instead, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, enduring the pain, she once again threw herself wholeheartedly into the struggle against the First's cells.
Shinji took a few steps back.
His decision to agree to Karin's request and destroy the suppressant wasn't a spur-of-the-moment impulse.
For ordinary people, the strength of willpower had very limited effects in combating the First's cells.
But for Karin, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the situation was different. Due to the unique nature of the Sharingan, its dojutsu power fluctuated with the wielder's willpower. When the wielder's will—or rather, their obsession—grew stronger, the Sharingan's dojutsu power would also increase.
This was the eye that reflected the heart!
And the Sharingan's dojutsu power happened to be the key to subduing the First's cells.
Moreover, Shinji wasn't entirely unprepared.
Although he destroyed the suppressant to strengthen Karin's resolve, he still had 'Jikibi' and 'Wazunagi' as his final fallback measures.
At this moment, he had already silently activated 'Jikibi,' linking himself to Karin. If Karin failed to fuse with the First's cells, he would, as he had done before to save the Sand Hidden volunteers, use 'Wazunagi' to extract the runaway chakra from Karin's body, resolving her crisis by pulling the rug out from under it.
Karin was unaware of Shinji's fallback measures. After he crushed the suppressant, believing she had no way out, not a single trace of fear remained in her heart.
In that moment, the Uzumaki clan's reckless, death-defying boldness and the Uchiha's obsessive madness were fully embodied in her.
"I can't give up so easily!"
In an instant, a bewitching light burst forth from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in Karin's eyes.
As the dojutsu power of her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan surged, the momentum of the Yang Release chakra ravaging her body faltered.
The previously one-sided dominance of the Yang Release chakra was forcibly brought back to equilibrium by her.
Even the small tree that had sprouted from her arm, breaking through her skin, stopped growing due to the loss of the runaway chakra nourishing it.
Seeing this, Shinji's heart stirred.
He had thought Karin was about to fail and was preparing to activate 'Wazunagi.' Yet, at the critical moment, Karin relied on the dojutsu power of her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to restore balance within her body.
"As expected of the strongest Sage Body in the shinobi world right now! If it were anyone else—no, even if it were me in this situation—it would be certain death."
Shocked, Shinji couldn't help but marvel.
With 'Wood Release' breaking out of her body and multiple organs eroded by Yang Release chakra, anyone else would have died seven or eight times over by now.
Yet Karin, relying on the Uzumaki clan's indomitable vitality, had endured. It was simply unbelievable.
This also gave Shinji a profound understanding of why only the Uzumaki clan could develop so many sealing techniques to counter tailed beasts—because no other shinobi clan had the sheer vitality to take such reckless risks.
Not long after.
As Karin withstood the strongest wave of Yang Release chakra from the First's cells, the balance between the Yin Release chakra and Yang Release chakra in her body gradually stabilized.
Once the Yin-Yang balance was achieved, the fusion process rapidly accelerated. Soon, the first strand of 'All Creation Power' appeared within Karin's body.
Because he was linked to Karin through 'Jikibi,' Shinji detected the emergence of this strand of 'All Creation Power' immediately.
"The union of Yin and Yang has begun?"
Beneath his mask, a trace of nervousness appeared on his face for the first time.
Just as Shinji had anticipated.
After the first strand of 'All Creation Power' appeared, more and more of it began to manifest within Karin's body.
Under normal circumstances, Shinji might have used 'Wazunagi' to extract some of the 'All Creation Power' to nourish his own Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
But this was a critical moment in his 'Rinnegan Plan,' so he merely focused intently on monitoring the Yin-Yang union in Karin's body, refraining from any reckless actions.
The 'All Creation Power' produced by the Yin-Yang union quickly spread throughout Karin's body.
Her eyes, her body, and the organs damaged during the early stages of fusion were all nourished by the 'All Creation Power' at this moment.
No other method of judgment was needed.
Simply from the increasingly radiant glow in Karin's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Shinji knew that the dojutsu power of her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was rapidly climbing.
At this point, Shinji knew the surgery had succeeded.
Karin, through her own willpower, had endured the runaway chakra without the aid of suppressants and successfully subdued the First's cells!
At this moment, he could hardly contain his excitement, his hands clenched tightly.
The changes in Karin's body were still ongoing!
Her dojutsu power was increasing, her chakra was surging, and even her elusive spiritual body, thanks to 'Jikibi,' Shinji noticed was growing stronger.
"The 'All Creation Power' from the Yin-Yang union can indeed elevate the level of chakra!"
Snapping back to his senses, Shinji quickly took out his notebook and began recording the changes in Karin's body at this moment.
The existence of 'Jikibi' and the Byakugan granted him observational capabilities comparable to high-precision instruments. So, despite the lack of equipment in the cave, he accurately and comprehensively recorded the series of changes in Karin's body post-surgery.
After a while, the rapid increase in both the quality and quantity of chakra in Karin's body finally began to slow.
She looked at Shinji and said softly, "Leader, did I succeed?" 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Shinji smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Karin propped herself up, looking at her hands with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Then, she glanced at the already withered small tree and the transplant site on her arm, which showed no signs of injury or scars. Her eyes were filled with astonishment: "Leader, didn't a small tree sprout from my arm earlier? How did it wither so suddenly..."
Shinji explained, "After the Yin-Yang balance was achieved in your body, you unconsciously reabsorbed all the chakra that had leaked out. As a result, the tree was completely drained of chakra and withered instantly."
Karin nodded in a daze: "I see..."
While looking her up and down, Shinji asked, "How do you feel now?"
"Feel?" Karin tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I feel like my chakra has increased again. The seal you placed before seems to have lost its effect!"
