"Oof!" (Rei)

While heading towards the basent, Rei suddenly lost his balance and fell

"Ugh...what the...why am I having trouble moving?" (Rei)

[That's natural. dically speaking, you're practically a newborn]

Because I have a new body. Wait! Hold on a sec...!

"If I'm like a newborn, then shouldn't I not even be able to walk?" (Rei)

[That's was the purpose of the "modifications" you made]

"You an they raised my strength?" (Rei)

[That's an oversimplification. When you were following my instructions, not only did you isolate the genes you needed, but you also improved them]

"Improved them how?" (Rei)

[For starters, your cells will now undergo mitosis at a rate that far exceeds anyone else with regenerative capabilities]

"...Like Hashirama..." (Rei)

[Hashirama had incredible healing abilities...but you must rember that his powers paled in comparison to the ??tsutsuki. And now yours could potentially grow to greater heights than theirs]

I rember...he could heal wounds instantly, but ??tsutsuki could completely regenerate from almost anything. Even if they were cut in half

[The modifications also increased the mitochondrial efficiency of your body and decreased mitophagy]

"?!...My bioengineering is a little rusty, but wouldn't that..." (Rei)

[Increase the dexterity of your muscles many tis over? That's correct.]

"So I'm completely superhuman now?!" (Rei)

[Just enough to be able to walk imdiately after being reconstituted. Like what I stated before, you'll need ti and training to reach your full potential. But now, it's safe to say you've beco a creature beyond Human or ??tsutsuki. A "Neo-??tsutsuki" if you will]

"A 'Neo-??tsutsuki'...the title is a bit flamboyant, but I can't complain about the perks" (Rei)

[Indeed]

Making his way down towards the basent, Rei ca across a massive Torii1sen.wikipedia/wiki/Toriigate emitting a strange energy

"What is this?" (Rei)

[A space-ti portal built by Isshiki]

"I thought ??tsutsuki could use space-ti ninjutsu whenever they wanted?" (Rei)

[Isshiki's body was in horrible shape. He made this portal as a ans of not expending his chakra. Now...enter]

"...Fine" (Rei)

??????

Voom!

"Where the hell am I now?" (Rei)

[A private dinsion that Ishhiki kept hidden from his Clan. Look in that cage over there]

Hm?

"What am I looking for-" (Rei)

"ROOOOAAAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!"

"HOLY HELL?!" (Rei)

Inside was a one-eyed creature with ten tails possessing a "Rinnegan"

[Remain calm]

"Remain calm?! Are you f*cking with ! That's a 'Ten-tails' right?! It ca this close to eating !" (Rei)

[There's nothing to fear for it's restrained. Now get closer]

"For what reason?!" (Rei)

[You're going to take, not all, but so of it's chakra. It's ti to start growing your capacity]

"...Because now I can grow infinitely right?" (Rei)

[Correct. But you must only take as much as you can carry. And DO NOT use it, you're just holding it inside your body]

"Why?" (Rei)

[Do you recall Osoi telling you about the horrible practices Kumogakure undertook to increase the powers of their ninja?]

"You an the suicidal thod of ingesting matter from tailed beasts and taking in chakra from others to increase your limits and power?" (Rei)

Yeah I rember, they got that stupid idea from the "Kin-Gin Brothers" after they ate flesh from the "Kyubi29 Tails". Too bad they didn't know it only worked for the brothers because they were distantly related to Hagaromo

[That's what you're going to do]

Are you high?

"There's no way in hell I'm going in there to eat that thing's flesh. It may be restrained, but I'm pretty sure if I get any closer it'll eat " (Rei)

[Even if they haven't fully awakened yet, you should still have the powers of an ??tsutsuki. You should be able to absorb so of the massive chakra it's emitting at a safe distance]

"So I'm undergoing the process of holding chakra in the body to increase my reserves. And because I have this 'Neo-??tsutsuki' body now, I won't have to worry about overloading..." (Rei)

[You will be doing this periodically from now on. With every opportunity you get, you must co here and take this creatures chakra]

"If, after so ti, I manage to drain it dry...will I have the sa level of power as it?" (Rei)

[No]

"Why not?" (Rei)

[The majority of the power you take in your body will be spent raising your limit. Take Naruto for example. When Minato made the seal for the Kyubi, he purposely left a slight opening in it to feed the tailed beast's chakra to Naruto. Through out the series, Naruto's chakra has constantly absorbed the Kyubi's. And yet, his reserves still couldn't match the Kyubi's full power even at his pri]

"..." (Rei)

[That's why we're not making you a Jinchūriki. While it is a shortcut to getting stronger, you would waste too much ti trying to gain control of it when it's inside you. Better to simply take it's raw power instead of worrying about it breaking a seal and taking over your body]

"Yeah...I'm not really one for house pets. Especially the ones that live inside of you" (Rei)

[There are no shortcuts. You still have to work hard to achieve your goal Rei]

Fair...but not easy...that's what you've told

about this "Project". I'm finally starting to get it...

"Okay, at least now things are looking a little brighter. And there's still plenty of ti until Part 2 ends" (Rei)

[That's a good way to look at things. Using this thod, it may accelerate the awakening of your other abilities you gained from Isshiki. But for now, this is all you can do. Start taking in chakra, we're getting really short on ti]

Huh?

"Short on ti? What do you an? The current Chunin exams shouldn't be over right?" (Rei)

[You underestimate how much ti you spent on your "rebirth"]

What did you just say?!

"Wait...how much ti did I spend in there?!" (Rei)

[Thirteen days, eleven hours, thirty-four minutes, and sixteen seconds]

"That long?! So if I take into account the week I've been gone I have..." (Rei)

[Barely half a day before Mabui returns ho after her three-week trip]

"Damn it...lead with that next ti!" (Rei)

Rei ran towards the cage holding the ten-tails

"Tell ! How exactly do I take it's chakra?!" (Rei)

[Hold your hand out and feel the chakra it's releasing. Then like a tether rope, attach your chakra to its chakra and start pulling]

"Alright, I'll see if I can...huh?" (Rei)

Before he realized it, Rei was absorbing the Ten-tails power at an inhuman rate

Holy! My chakra is so much easier to control now!

"Is this the effect of my new body?" (Rei)

[??tsutsuki's can manipulate chakra far easier than humans can. Eventually, you will completely evolve into a new being]

"...Amazing..." (Rei)

After taking as much as his body could handle, Rei let go of the pull

[That's your "current" limit. Now you must not use it, just hold in your body for now. Feel it change your body and increase your reserves of power. Chakra absorbed from an external source won't stay with you forever. The only exception to that is Naruto and the Tailed beasts he took power from]

Huh. It's like muscle training, push it a little at a ti and I improve. But if I push it too much at once...I break

"MC's are completely unfair no matter where you go..." (Rei)

[Once you're done...we'll begin your departure from this place. While waiting for the chakra to do its work, now would be a good ti to study the formula inscribed in the pot from Mabui's closet]

"So I can always co back here right?" (Rei)

[Correct. Mabui made sure these pots only have a one use marker to prevent enemies from teleporting inside the village in case one was ever stolen. morize the details of that seal, so you can make your own anyti you want]

"So after I leave a mark in the lab, all I have to do is inscribe a new seal in the pot every ti I use one...and I can co back here?" (Rei)

[This will be your ans of coming here until you can unlock your own space-ti ninjutsu]

"Then I'd better get to work" (Rei)

??????

Ten hours later, Rei stood up

[Have you finished your task]

"I've completely morized this formula...and my Chakra has..." (Rei)

Without saying anything else, Rei made a hand seal and disappeared

Whoosh!

"?! My strength as grown exceptionally to use the 'Body Flicker Jutsu' that well..." (Rei)

In the blink of an eye, Rei moved from the cage holding the Ten-tails to the Torii space ti gate

[This is just the start...You still need to exercise proper control for the best effect]

"You're right. Chakra control has beco much easier...but I still feel like I can do better" (Rei)

[You must be even more diligent for the future. Now I believe it's ti to leave]

"On that...we can agree"

Making his way through the portal he climbed upstairs and placed two seals on the floor

"There...with that done...I can co here anyti I want as long as I have this pot" (Rei)

[Two seals...one for leaving, and another for coming back]

"Yup. Isshiki's...or should I say MY lab will prove most useful for future" (Rei)

[With this completed, I must now ask for confirmation]

"Confirmation for what?" (Rei)

[Has your Lifeline request been properly fulfilled?]

Why is it asking...wait a sec...

"...Let

guess, I say yes and you go back to 'normal' right?" (Rei)

[If by "normal" you an taking on the original persona...then yes]

Great, the asshole is coming back

"So you DO have multiple personalities" (Rei)

[I do not suffer "Dissociative Identity Disorder
