H . R . P Chapter 112: From a Grey Magpie to a Silver Falcon
Ryo’s Clone was gone three days later, when reaching Konoha’s camp . Ryo received the scroll with the Ryumyaku’s Chakra and couldn’t wait to start his research .
After a clone disappears, its memories return to the main body . From these memories, Ryo realized that the amount of Chakra sealed within the scroll was small compared to that within the Ryumyaku itself . It was about about two to three times as much as the Chakra of a regular Kage .
Ryo undid the seal on the scroll and extracted a small amount of the Ryumyaku’s Chakra . Like he had observed before, it was made out of a special Chakra and some Natural Energy .
Ryo then tried to inject the Ryumyaku’s Chakra into a dying bird . After the bird absorbed the Charka, its injuries gradually healed, but it was still half-dead .
Ryo used more of the Ryumyaku’s Chakra, injecting it into the bird . Then he opened his Sharingan and watched its flow within the bird’s body .
With the Sharingan, Ryo discovered that the Ryumyaku’s Chakra was circulating within the bird’s body . However, the bird did not show any signs of life .
Over the following few days, Ryo conducted the same experiments on various animals . Every time, he reached the same result . His research hit a wall .
The Ryumyaku’s Chakra did indeed have the quick healing effect that Ryo expected . But if it only could only heal and not stop death, then it is what he was looking for .
To put it simply, the dying animals were being “saved”, on the surface, but they remained inva vegetative state .
This disappointed Ryo, who was expecting a bit more than just fast healing .
He was about to give and throw the corpses out, when he passed by the bird that was his 1st subject, and its wings actually fluttered .
Then, the bird’s eyes opened, and it looked around in confusion . When it saw Ryo, it was scared, flapped its wings and wanted to escape .
Of course, Ryo wasn’t letting the bird fly away anytime soon . He used a ribbon of Lightning Chakra to catch the bird and constrict its movements, and let his mind enter its body .
The bird’s body showed no changed, but the Ryumyaku’s Chakra disappeared . Then, Ryo confirmed said Chakra’s presence within every part of the bird’s body, which meant that it was completely assimilated by the small animal .
Ryo’s mind withdrew from the bird’s body and used [Healing] to save it . After being healed, the bird didn’t try to escape, just shrinking back and looking a little scared .
With that, Ryo came to a realization: this bird is learning rather quickly! How can a bird be so smart?
So he conducted various tests on it . With them, he determined that the bird had a higher IQ than large mammals .
The bird was on ordinary gray magpie, the kind one could spot all over the world Ryo was in .
A gray magpie’s IQ should be lower than that of lizard, let alone large mammals . Usually, gray magpies are creature of instinct that shouldn’t have such IQ . Ryo was also sure that this wasn’t a summoned animal .
With that possibility omitted, the bird’s IQ could only be the result of its exposure to the Ryumyaku’s Chakra .
Ryo was extremely excited, looking forward to the changes that should occur to the other animals . In a few days, however, Ryo’s excitement was toned down .
Ryo actually conducted experiments on a total of five animals, including the magpie . But eventually, only the gray magpies and a hare survived, with the later’s IQ not changing .
After going out to throw the other dead animals, Ryo examined the hare . Unlike the magpie, it didn’t have the Ryumyaku’s Chakra left within its body, making it nothing different from an ordinary hare .
After he released the animal, Ryo continued to conduct research on other dying animals . Like before, he injected the Ryumyaku’s Chakra within their body . However, this time, he made sure that the amount of Chakra used is proportional to their body mass .
Kushina very curious about Ryo how went out of his way to find dying animals, but she was held off of him by Minato .
Minato thought that Ryo was working on a medical Ninjutu . Before him, Tsunade also often looked for animals for her research .
And Looking at Ryo, Minato saw that it looked as if he was on the verge of making a breakthrough . Of course, he didn’t want Kushina to interfere with that .
However, Kushina wasn’t the type to listen to persuasion, and the more Minato insisted on keeping her from going in, the more curious she was . Ryo was her treasured apprentice, so why shouldn’t she see him?
With that in mind, Kushina snuck into Ryo’s tent as he was struggling with the Gray Magpie .
After absorbing the Ryumyaku’s Chakra, the magpie’s IQ shot through the roof, and Ryo discovered that it could refine Chakra, a propriety that’s usually unique to summoned beasts .
This ability made Ryo more interested in this gray magpie .
The changes occurring to the bird were not limited to that! Its body slowly grew; its beak an claws changed shape; it became more aggressive, and all the feathers on its body began to fall off and grow again, silvery-white this time .
In a few days, it turned into a bird that’s two meters long wing to wing, looking more like a falcon than a magpie . (Translator Note: 2 Meters= 6 ft 6 . 7 inches) .
The main cause behind these transformations was the Ryumyaku’s power . A few days ago, the gray magpie found Ryo experimenting with other animals, and it kept pleading, as if it wanted more of it .
At first, Ryo was reluctant, but when it found that the bird could refine Chakra, he stopped hesitating . Over the following few days, he injected the bird with nearly a 3rd of what he had in the scroll .
This helped the bird complete its transformation, and the gray magpie turned into an incredibly intelligent Silver Falcon . So Ryo decided to try and teach it speech .
It was at that moment that Kushina snuck in . She stood their surprised watching Ryo try to talk to a silvery-white bird .
“Ryo, what are you doing!?”
Kushina’s voice startled Ryo, as he was too immersed in teaching the bird speech .
Ryo was preparing to explain, when he heard the bird: “Ryo, what are you doing?!”
The magpie’s voice was feminine, crisp and very pleasing . The words were clear, as if it had been talking for so long .
“Ryo, what’s that summoned beast?” Kushina asked with some surprise .
“Ryo, what’s that summoned beast?” the Magpie continued to imitate Kushina .
Kushina found it to be interesting, that the bird in Ryo’s tent was able to imitate her speech .
