86 Chapter – 86: Shadow-II
[Rei POV]
To my surprise, the small amount of chakra I gathered from the Five-Tails is already showing signs of starting to absorb chakra from its surroundings! However, what I want is not a tailed beast that has sentience as that would mean more tedious effort to convince it or use my mangekyo to control it, no, what I want is a blank template. I want it to have the same amount of chakra and the characteristics as that of the tailed beast but without any feelings. So for the time being, I have isolated it and stopped it from growing.
There is one more problem that is starting to raise its ugly head, the age-old problem of money! Because of the crazy amount of experiments I did, the huge amount I extorted from that merchant a few years ago is almost used up; frankly, I am quite surprised it lasted till now, and now, I have to find a new source of income.
Thankfully, I had already anticipated it and have already found a solution for it. Using the last of my wealth, I have purchased rations, weapons, etc., in bulk; like tens of millions of Ryos. Once the war begins, the prices for these commodities will shoot up to the sky and I plan to use that time to sell them and rake in the profits of a lifetime! It's been some time since I started accumulating these commodities and the time to sell them is coming soon too.
There is one more idea, but that will have to wait as I currently don't have the means of achieving it... but I am planning on changing it soon...
...
A few days later.
'Finally done, ha?' I smile looking at the results of A.I chip's analysis on what is the first gene I should activate in the clones.
The way it achieved this is by analyzing and reverse engineering the Talent Analysis Seal! Going back, the way I used to test talent was using the Uchiha chakra from someone and seeing how compatible it is with the Otsutsuki genes. But for that, one needs to have already activated at least one gene or in other words, they need to already have their Sharingan awakened. However, although this gives a more accurate prediction, it cannot be used in situations like my unique clones that don't have a Sharingan yet.
I have to agree that whoever made this Talent Analysis Seal is a true genius because the way it works is, it takes in regular chakra and tries to mimic what happens inside the brains of the Uchiha and tries to convert normal chakra into Uchiha Chakra! Although this way, it is compromising on the accuracy, it's still within an acceptable range...
What the A.I chip did was to reverse engineer the seal and find out how it is converting the normal chakra into Uchiha Chakra and for after that find out which of the genes is the most compatible with it.
Now that I know the first gene to be activated, all I need is time...
'Soon... soon... I will have a new Mangekyo...'

[Beep! Upgraded Parasite model: Shadow-II analysis complete. Ready for construction and deployment.]
'Finally!' I think 'A. I chip show me the details,'
[System Module: Parasite]
[Series: Shadow]
[Model: Shadow-II]
[ID: PG1213195774]
[Mode of deployment: Has to be injected physically with Host's chakra as the medium.]
[Lifetime: Permanent!]
[Abilities:
1. Copy: Copy all of the subject's memories and transfer them wirelessly back to the main A. I chip.
2. Shadow: Ability to hide inside the subject's soul by appearing to be a part of it. No known methods in host's memories are able to detect it.
3. Self-destruct: Activate remote self-destruct protocol to destroy the Parasite. Self-destruction can be activated in two modes. a. silent b. with damage.
4. Temporary Control: Take full control of the subject's body for a limited amount of time. The subject will be unconscious for the amount of time this ability is active. Duration: 600s
5. Transmission: If a second soul is present in the same body as the target, the parasite is able to split itself and transmit itself to the other soul!]
[Warning: 1. Building of the Parasite will require host to remove a small part of your soul and transfer a subroutine along with it into the subject's body. After each use, not recommended to create another one until host's soul recovers.]
[Estimated time for recovery: 272 days.]
[Note:
1. Amount of time host can take control with Temporary Control and the damage with Self destruct may vary depending on subject's strength.
2. This parasite can only transmit one time. That is once the parasite splits, it cannot be split again.
2. Growth in chakra reduces the time required to completely heal the Soul injury.]
"Excellent!" I shout in joy.
There are two major improvements that I like. The first is, Final Act is upgraded to Temporary control, now instead of disappearing after taking control of the target, it just has a time limit! Next, is the Transmission. With this, I can try to get Orochimaru's memories... although, I might have to wait for a while to actually see results...
'Also, the amount of time needed to heal is reduced to almost half of what it was before... what a nice surprise...' I smile.
'Mmmm?' I frown and then curse out loud, "Dammit..."
Just when I am being happy and making plans on how to best deeply the parasite, something goes wrong with the Hashirama clone ruining my mood.
