Amado ignored Owl's clamor and said coldly, "The test continues!"
Owl glared hatefully at Amado, then turned and returned to the testing ground.
As Owl returned to the testing ground, everyone around it breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing such a monster created by the ritual, everyone felt a sense of panic deep in their hearts. Even if the Research Institute had means of checks and balances, and above the Research Institute there was the Akatsuki organization suppressing the era, if Owl really went crazy, no amount of backup plans could stop him from going on a killing spree right then and there!
In the distance.
"Tch!"
Sasori spat lightly.
Tsunade looked solemn: "We can't let this go on any longer!"
Sasori said, "I've been developing a type of curse tag recently. As long as it can be implanted into the target's heart, once activated, even an Otsutsuki won't escape death. It can serve as a means to control these experimental subjects!"
Tsunade looked sideways. She hadn't expected Sasori to come up with such a thing quietly.
On the other side.
Hearing Owl's clamor, Eida pouted: "This guy is really annoying!"
Besides Shinji, she disliked anyone unaffected by her 'Charm', and Owl was one of them.
Orochimaru laughed sinisterly: "To think he even set his sights on me, wanting to master my 'Shinjutsu Chakra Mode'. Interesting!"
Daemon was eager to try: "I'll go kill him!"
Eida stopped Daemon: "Now is not the time to kill him!"
Daemon asked: "Then when can we kill him?"
Eida said: "When he loses his value, Amado won't let him off. I understand Amado better than anyone; what Amado hates most are idiots like him!"
Beside them, Orochimaru wore a smile.
Owl's arrogance gave him an excuse to deal with Owl in the future. With the Research Institute's investment in 'Shinjutsu' research, there would only be more and more experimental subjects like Owl. By then, he could secretly collect 'Shinjutsu' right under the Research Institute's nose.
"Eh!"
Just then, Eida let out a soft sound of surprise.
Orochimaru quickly gathered his thoughts and looked towards the testing ground.
An arc of light flashed across the testing ground, and then Owl was swallowed by a blindingly intense light.
The third round of testing was the most primitive ninjutsu test.
Owl, as the experimental subject, stood in the center of the testing ground, withstanding ninjutsu bombardments from the testing team, in hopes of awakening the 'Shinjutsu' hidden within his body.
The arc of light just now was a combined Lightning Release ninjutsu cast by a ninjutsu squad, with power reaching S-rank level.
Soon, as the intense light dissipated, Owl's figure appeared, emitting green smoke.
What was surprising was that besides the green smoke caused by the Lightning Release ninjutsu bombardment, Owl's body was also surrounded by wisps of faintly discernible electric arcs.
"What's going on?"
"Did he absorb the Lightning Release?"
"The experimental subject doesn't have the Rinnegan!"
Seeing this scene, the researchers in the testing area discussed animatedly.
Amado stood up abruptly, staring intently at the testing ground. According to the values displayed on the instrument in front of him, just a moment ago, the chakra fluctuation inside Owl surpassed the peak value. This meant something had awakened within Owl, and that awakening was very likely a 'Shinjutsu'.
Just as everyone's gaze was focused solely on Owl, the electric arcs jumping on Owl suddenly turned into a green light, enveloping Owl's body.
Swish...
On the sidelines, Tsunade suddenly snatched the documents Shizune was holding.
This document contained Owl's basic data. Tsunade quickly flipped through it, then frowned deeply.
Sasori asked: "What's wrong?"
Tsunade said: "What's on Owl is Yang Release medical ninjutsu!"
Sasori then asked: "Can a rogue ninja from a bandit background know medical ninjutsu?"
"The data is very clear; he definitely doesn't know medical ninjutsu!" Pausing, Tsunade raised her voice: "But what is on him right now is Yang Release medical ninjutsu; I wouldn't mistake it!"
Obviously, Tsunade wasn't the only one who discovered this. Many researchers on the sidelines also noticed the medical ninjutsu on Owl. Right under everyone's eyes, the injuries on Owl caused by the Lightning Release ninjutsu bombardment were all healed by the medical ninjutsu.
Daemon asked curiously: "What happened?"
Eida said: "It's Shinjutsu!"
Orochimaru stared fixedly at Owl in the field, his eyes full of covetousness: "Indeed, that guy really awakened a Shinjutsu!"
Although everyone was still unclear about exactly what Shinjutsu Owl had awakened and what its specific effects were, relying on instruments and perception, many people were already certain that Owl had successfully awakened a Shinjutsu.
"Hahaha!"
Unbridled laughter resounded through the testing ground once again.
Only this time, the researchers on the sidelines didn't cast looks of disgust or aversion. Instead, each stared at Owl standing in the center of the testing ground with eyes full of inquiry.
Amado took a megaphone and interrupted Owl's laughter: "Owl, come to the observation area!"
Owl didn't mind and flashed in front of Amado: "As expected, I am the chosen one. I succeeded!"
Amado signaled his assistants to record while asking Owl: "What Shinjutsu awakened? What effect does it have?"
Owl said: "I'm not too sure either, let's call it 'Conversion'! As for the effect, you saw it just now. All attacks against me will be 'converted' into jutsus beneficial to me!"
Realization dawned on everyone. Only then did they understand why the electric arcs remaining on Owl suddenly changed into unrelated medical ninjutsu.
Amado's expression became serious.
Compared to the realization of other researchers, he thought more deeply. Lightning Release ninjutsu and medical ninjutsu are completely different types of jutsu; one is Lightning attribute chakra, the other is Yang attribute chakra. The 'Conversion' awakened by Owl could actually change the basic attribute of chakra. This was simply incredible, worthy of being a mystical Shinjutsu!
Subsequently, seeing the uncontrollable ambition in Owl's eyes, Amado secretly thought that this was not good.
The Shinjutsu 'Conversion' almost put Owl in an invincible position. Coupled with Owl's 'Six Paths Level' combat power, he had now become a very troublesome problem. Even if Orochimaru, or the siblings Eida and Daemon took action, they might not necessarily win.
Currently limited by his own experience, Owl might not have fully realized this yet. But as time passed, Owl would inevitably discover that no one in the Research Institute could pose an overwhelming advantage over him anymore.
In this way, it wouldn't be easy for the Research Institute to control Owl!
Thinking of this, Amado said: "Today's test is over. Tomorrow we will test if your 'Conversion' can handle all types of ninjutsu."
Owl agreed deeply: "Right, we need to test it properly!"
Amado thought to himself: "For now, I can only stall him with tests."
