34 Chapter 33 : Miracle of the Sun
[Super Soldier Serum: A special serum utilized by a soldier of America in the Marvel World. In principle, physical attributes such as strength, senses, and reflexes have reached the potential limits attainable by humans. It also provides extraordinary leadership skills, superlative martial arts combat abilities, and a heightened resistance to physical harm.]
A rustling sound.
The projection screen flickered with activity.
[The scene unfolds, revealing the American man, still devoid of any abilities. Thin and frail, they lack the strength to even lift a chicken, rendering them unfit for military service. A serendipitous opportunity eventually leads the persistent sergeant to enlist them.]
Across the Ninja world, brows furrowed.
Having invested significant interest in the previous Dragon Ball world's prop description videos, they were now devoting equal attention to these videos concerning the Otherworld.
Yet, compared to the formidable momentum and world-shattering abilities of previous figures like Gotenks and Majin Buu, the protagonist of this video appeared feeble, trailing even behind some ordinary individuals within the ninja world.
Could this be a world less magnificent than the ninja world?
With skepticism lingering, they delved into the video's content.
[The imagery shifts, depicting the slender American and a group of soldiers undertaking a bravery test. Faced with a bomb, they were the sole ones who didn't flee, choosing to leap at the danger.]
[The quality of the American caught Abraham Erskine's attention, marking him as candidates for the super soldier serum injection. Guided by the elegant Abraham Erskine, they were brought to head the experimental base.]
[Captain America undergoes the serum injection, and as the machine powers up, a robust and muscular figure emerges.]
[The plan succeeds, yet an emergency arises— an infiltrator surfaces and eliminates the doctor studying the serum. This spy, assigned by an officer aiming to create a super soldier as well, had also received the serum earlier. However, due to its immaturity, his strength surged but his facial skin turned crimson. Thus, he dubs himself the Red Skull.]
[Skipping forward in time, Captain America defeats the Red Skull. Done!]
The entire video introduces an entirely different world, replete with steel jungles, aircraft, tanks, cannons, and other advanced weaponry. Yet, the primary focus remains on comparing the pre-serum strength of Captain America.
As the video concludes, astonishment washes over numerous denizens of the ninja world.
Some are drawn to the Otherworld, stunned by the existence of aircraft, tanks, and guns— weapons far more potent than ninja tools like explosive tags. These tools, if wielded by ordinary folk, could even pose a threat to Kage-level ninjas.
Nonetheless, most still fixate on Captain America and the serum. No one could have foreseen that a mere vial of serum could catalyze such earth-shattering transformations within a person's physique— a phenomenon that vastly surpasses the understanding of most in the ninja world.
Within the Village Hidden in the Clouds,
"The Captain America serum, what an intriguing concoction. It would suit our Cloud Shinobi quite well," Fourth Raikage Ai commented with keen interest.
Assistant Darui and secretary Mabui, for once, remained silent, nodding in agreement.
Occasionally, even their's own Kage harbors wisdom.
However, only a single vial of serum exists, held by Orochimaru's subordinate, Guren. Obtaining it would prove challenging.
Many held a dismissive stance.
Even if Captain America elevated their combat prowess significantly through the serum, it would only enhance their physical skills. For Chakra-wielding ninjas, dealing with such enhancements would be far from arduous.
"Fascinating!"
Orochimaru, the ninja scientist, wore a profoundly intrigued expression.
Dubbed the "super soldier serum," the Captain America serum could unlock an individual's potential, transforming them into a "flawless" state. This effect was nothing short of astounding.
What if a ninja were to obtain the Captain America serum?
Further along the video, the strength, agility, perception, and physique of the Captain America post-serum are showcased, comparable to a skilled Jōnin's physical abilities (without Chakra augmentation), reflecting drastic improvements.
Could this techniques transform commoners into beings on par with Jōnin on a grand scale?
"This serum appears to boost the individual's metabolic functions, completely breaking down lactic acid and other fatigue-inducing substances in the muscles. As a result, the recipient gains endurance beyond ordinary imagination, along with a heightened resistance to toxins. The only drawback seems to be a lack of aging inhibition."
"Highly valuable for research."
Orochimaru involuntarily stuck out his tongue, giving it a contemplative lick.
If Uchiha Ran knew Orochimaru's thoughts, he would undoubtedly marvel at the latter's role as the top scientist and biologist in the ninja world—his perspective is indeed unique.
"A fortuitous discovery. Orochimaru-sama, your opinion on adopting the Captain America serum?" prominent figures from various nations and affluent businessmen chimed in, brimming with excitement.
After all, what better treasure than one that can enhance all aspects of ability without requiring exertion?
But in the blink of an eye, their expectations were dashed anew.
[Orochimaru: Guren, draw once more!]
Orochimaru's eagerness to obtain the Captain America serum was palpable. He yearned to study it thoroughly.
Perhaps, after acquiring it, he would administer doses for research purposes, ensuring a steady stream of subjects.
Yet, he restrained himself.
Partially, it stemmed from a premonition that the Captain America serum would attract multiple interested parties.
Primarily, video analysis led him to believe that the enhancement the serum offered to Jōnin-level individuals was somewhat limited.
For Chakra-using ninjas who prioritized swift, decisive strikes, the Captain America serum's gains felt somewhat uninspiring.
Its most significant benefits likely revolved around expedited recovery and heightened combat abilities, bolstering a ninja's capacity to survive. Even the mightiest ninja could succumb to a well-aimed kunai.
However, Orochimaru, the master, possessed an array of life-saving measures.
"Very well, Orochimaru-sama."
Guren breathed a sigh of relief.
Had she been an ordinary individual, she might have embraced the Captain America serum's augmentation without hesitation.
Nonetheless, she stood as a Chunin-level shinobi, armed with the prowess of Crystal Style bloodline limits. In her estimation, the Captain America's prowess was easily overcome.
Captain America's serum held no allure, and for her, a transformation into a muscular woman post-injection seemed rather unappealing.
"Time for another drawing!"
Guren declared anew.
Upon the spinning disk, the markers whirled again, finally alighting on the Kamen Rider segment.
