A Chance to Lay Hands on the Tenseigan!

Was anyone watching nearby?

Tang Ping wrote the question in the other party's soft palm, callused yet resilient, with his finger.

He had not forgotten where he was.

He could be under surveillance here.

Especially by Danzo!

That old bastard had been coveting him for a long time.

It was only because he was under the protection of the Uchiha and the Hokage Faction that Danzo had not dared to make a move.

But surveillance was something Danzo would definitely arrange.

After sensing the words written in her palm,

Hinata Cang Yue remained outwardly calm and continued chatting with Tang Ping about the changes of the past few days. However, the veins around her eyes bulged, clearly indicating that she had activated her Byakugan.

The Byakugan!

It could be called the strongest reconnaissance Kekkei Genkai.

That was also why the Hyuga Clan had such a special status in Konoha.

Otherwise, based on combat strength alone, the Hyuga Clan could not compare to the Uchiha, and might not even surpass some of the larger ninja clans.

Before the Byakugan, nothing could remain hidden.

Some methods might evade it, but Root and the Anbu were definitely not among them.

After her discreet inspection, Hinata Cang Yue gave a slight nod, confirming that someone really was watching Tang Ping.

Damn!

Tang Ping did not even need to ask to know it was Root.

With the "Will of Fire" he had displayed, coupled with being part of Team 3 led by Minato Namikaze, he was practically a piece of meat on the Third Hokage's plate. There was no need for him to send Anbu to watch Tang Ping.

So it could only be Root.

No wonder Uchiha Mei had stayed here guarding him until she saw that he had awakened before leaving.

If she had not been there,

then by the time Tang Ping woke up, it would not have been strange if he had already ended up in Root.

Minato Namikaze could protect him.

But as a New Generation powerhouse of the Hokage Faction, Minato had to stay close to the Third Hokage and make appearances during this period. It was impossible for him to guard the hospital without leaving Tang Ping's side.

After learning that Root was watching him, Tang Ping was glad he did not have the habit of talking to himself.

Otherwise, if he spouted wild nonsense like "My fate is mine, not Heaven's" or "Life is precious, but freedom is worth even more"... Root's VIP room would be inviting him in within seconds.

Hinata Cang Yue felt a little ticklish in her palm, but she did not pull away.

She had already regarded Tang Ping as the only light in her heart. Forget holding hands—even dying for him would not be a problem.

Meanwhile, Tang Ping looked like he was merely studying a young girl's hand and taking advantage of her. Even if someone saw it, they would not suspect anything.

If you had the chance to restore your right leg, but had to risk your life, would you be willing?

In the end, he asked the question.

Hinata Cang Yue's expression changed drastically. If she had not realized there were watchers nearby, she might have lost her composure.

She first took a deep breath!

Then she looked at Tang Ping with resolute eyes.

Her meaning was clear—if such an opportunity truly existed, she was willing to give everything.

In truth,

for disabled ninja, there was absolutely no way anyone would be willing to give up a chance like this, even if it meant gambling with their lives.

Only those who had once possessed it were even less willing to give up the chance to be whole again.

Next, make yourself a prosthetic leg... and find a reasonable way to disappear from the clan for a while!

Tang Ping gave her detailed instructions.

The prosthetic would ensure that no one found it suspicious when she later regained her right leg, while her disappearance for a period of time was also preparation for the experiment.

After hovering at death's door, his mentality had undergone an enormous change.

His ultimate dream of taking it easy had naturally not changed.

But the prerequisite was possessing enough strength to protect himself, not simply drifting with the current.

His previous plans had been based on the fact that he was an insignificant nobody. It had not mattered much if he lacked strength.

But if he dared to take it easy like that now, his end would absolutely be miserable. So he had to find a way to gain powerful strength for self-protection.

Hinata Cang Yue was the best target, with limitless potential.

She possessed Hyuga Clan bloodline. Countless predecessors who had transmigrated before him had already pointed out the path.

The Tenseigan!

Those were eyes that rivaled the Rinnegan.

Once she obtained those eyes, he would instantly soar into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

As for loyalty?

That might have been a concern elsewhere.

But in the ninja world, there was no need to worry about it. People giving everything for loyalty was hardly rare at all—there were simply too many examples.

It was precisely due to these considerations that Tang Ping chose Hinata Cang Yue, intending to cultivate her into a super trump card in his hand.

After a while,

"I'll be leaving first!"

Hinata Cang Yue spoke as though she were simply saying goodbye normally.

But both of them understood that she had made her decision, the kind that even nine oxen could not drag her back from.

In other words, it was only because Tang Ping had said it that she believed him without the slightest doubt. If it had been anyone else, she would never have trusted them so easily, much less decided to gamble her life on it.

Tang Ping had not chosen this moment to ask Hinata Cang Yue at random, either.

Because this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Only because Uchiha Mei, the major financial backer, needed an "Experimental product" could Hinata Cang Yue be given this chance.

Otherwise, Tang Ping alone could not support the experiment.

The experiment was progressing so quickly now because Uchiha Mei, this "White Thigh," was investing in it with all her strength.

If it had been Tang Ping alone, one only needed to look at that former "lab" that did not even qualify as a home workshop to understand just how vast the gap was compared to now.

Once the experiment succeeded on Hinata Cang Yue, Uchiha Mei would be next.

That order was because legs were far simpler than eyes.

As long as this experiment succeeded, Tang Ping would have confidence in curing Uchiha Mei.

Fortunately, there had not yet been a completely successful case.

If there had been, then even if Uchiha Mei did not object, Uchiha Shizuka and Uchiha Shota would never agree to spend so many resources on a Hyuga Clan Member.

As for how to persuade those two, Tang Ping had his reasons.

The two were close in age, of the same sex, and both ninja with Kekkei Genkai. Using one as an Experimental product for the other's experiment was indeed highly convincing.

For one complete experiment, setting aside matters like technology and environment, the raw materials alone cost tens of millions of ryo or more.

The cost was just that outrageous!

Even Uchiha Mei could not have sustained Tang Ping's spending without the inheritance left behind by her grandfather.

It was far too brutal on investors!

No matter how much money one had, it was not meant to be spent like this. It vanished even faster than burning money.

No wonder Orochimaru had cooperated with Danzo. With how quickly this burned through funds, he could never support it by himself.

After Hinata Cang Yue left, Tang Ping borrowed a large number of books from the library and began studying in his hospital bed.

His persona was that of a "scientific genius," so seizing the chance to study was perfectly natural.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze brought Kushina Uzumaki and Kakashi to visit him several times.

Before leaving, Kushina Uzumaki quietly told him some news.

Before the third round of matches began, she would give him a surprise!

Well, Tang Ping left the hospital two weeks later.

There was a reason he had stayed in bed for so long.

He had already finished reading all the books in the hospital.

Of course, in everyone else's eyes, he merely flipped through each book casually before losing interest.

Combined with the fact that he currently could not use even a single Medical Ninjutsu,

the Root agents secretly monitoring him directly crossed out his talent for Medical Ninjutsu.

Even Minato Namikaze comforted him, saying that few people in the village could master Medical Ninjutsu, so he should not take it too much to heart.

In reality,

relying on the learning cheat known as the Clarity Elixir, Tang Ping had accumulated a terrifying foundation in Medical Ninjutsu theory.

After all, Konoha's Medical Ninjutsu was unquestionably the strongest in the entire ninja world.

Knowledge directly related to Medical Ninjutsu naturally would not be placed in the library, but there was no restriction at all on theoretical and research materials. They had all been thrown into the library.

Thus, Tang Ping had essentially stood on the shoulders of giants to obtain this incomparably precious wealth.

He truly could not use Medical Ninjutsu yet.

But as long as he spent some time on it, he could completely "create" Medical Ninjutsu himself.

If he had not "emptied out" the library, he would not even have wanted to leave the hospital yet.

After all, there was no need to borrow books in the hospital. He could read them directly there, with no limit on the number.

Otherwise, according to Tang Ping's original plan, he had intended to spend a year slowly emptying out the library's knowledge.

The Clarity Elixir was absolutely the best!

On the day he was discharged, Uchiha Mei and Uchiha Shizuka came together to pick him up.

Because a crucial experiment would begin today.
