Terumi Mei's consciousness gradually woke up from the chaos. She felt paralyzed and weak. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling and medical equipment shining with cold light. Transparent liquid was slowly being injected into her blood vessels through an infusion tube.
Have you been rescued?" Terumi Mei After fainting, his memory became a little confusing. It took him a while to remember that he was supposed to be killed by Captain Makiaki in front of the cliff. Why did he survive?
Who saved her?
Terumi Mei tried to prop up his body, but found that it was extremely difficult to even lift his fingers.
"You're awake." As the door opened, a medical ninja wearing a white coat and a mask walked in.
"Who are you? Where are you?" Terumi Mei noticed that the other party was not wearing Hidden Mist's Forehead Protector, and immediately became alert.
When the other party turned around, Terumi Mei found that there was a number 81 printed on the back of the white coat. He didn't know what it meant.
"You can call me Number 81." The medical ninja said calmly, then walked to the side of the instrument to check the data and usage.
"This is my number in this experimental area. It seems that your condition has not recovered much, and you can still talk so much."
"By the way, let me advise you, this is a completely closed management. If you escape without authorization, you might be killed by patrolling ninjas." Number 81 Shadow Clone raised his right hand, raised a finger, put it in front of the mask, and made a sound.
This voice Terumi Mei's pupils shrank, and it felt a little familiar.
"Are you - Asura?" Terumi Mei's voice was tight. She remembered the voice she heard before she fell into coma, and her eyes widened: "Captain Gansaki"
"Do you still care about Kisame Hoshigaki now?" Number 81 Shadow Clone chuckled, with a trace of amusement flashing in his black eyes.
Kisame Hoshigaki's appearance is not to mention terrifying, but it is also frightening to see a beautiful girl care so much.
On the other hand-
Number 81 Shadow Clone snorted and said, "Don't worry, he is busy investigating Suikazan Fuguki's betrayal of Hidden Mist's intelligence. Next time we meet, he might be Kirigakure's traitor."
"Suikazan Fuguki?" Terumi Mei opened her eyes in shock. She didn't know whether Suikazan Fuguki or Kirigakure Anbu Captain.
But I have heard this name more than once. This is one of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and one of the three Ninja Blade holders promoted after Third Shinobi World War and Kirigakure.
How could he actually betray the village's information?!
"Take good care of yourself, don't think about escaping." Number 81 Shadow Clone changed some medicine for Terumi Mei, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what's your name?" Number 81 Shadow Clone then remembered that the guy from the main body didn't even tell me the name of this female ninja.
"Terumi Mei." Terumi Mei said softly on the hospital bed, the gloom between his eyebrows still lingering no matter what.
"Terumi Clan's ninja?" Number 81 Shadow Clone raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the main body also tied back a Kekkei Genkai ninja.
Within Hoshigakure Base.
After Menma sent Terumi Mei to the Medical Department for treatment, he always felt as if he had forgotten something important.
"Strange, what is going on?" Menma walked on the way to the family compound, folding his hands on his chest and frowning.
And the closer we get to the family compound, the uneasy feeling becomes stronger and stronger.
"Menma brother!" Xiang's cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts.
The once thin little girl now had a round face and was looking up at him while holding a vegetable basket.
"Isn't this Xiaoxiang? Where have you been playing?" Menma bent down and picked up Xiaoxiang.
The little girl who was originally as thin as a bamboo pole, after these six months of carefree life, her face has become a little baby fat.
Menma couldn't help but pinch it.
"Xiang went to help mom buy groceries." Xiang had a bitter look on his face, but didn't resist. He just let Menma control him.
"Menma Brother, why don't you come and eat together?" Xiang said, "My sister just came today, and my mother is going to make some delicious food to welcome her."
"Sister?" Menma was stunned for a moment, suddenly enlightened, and finally remembered the forgotten things!
When he stepped into Uzumaki House's yard, he looked up and saw Uzumaki Fuka sitting on the porch, holding a cute child in a kimono in his arms and combing his hair.
The child was dressed in an exquisite kimono and was as well-behaved as a doll.
He also sat obediently in Uzumaki Fuka's arms, quietly enjoying the beauty of this moment.
Haha?!!
Menma was alert for a moment, that child looked like a girl no matter what. Could it be that "Ah, Master Asura is back." Uzumaki Fuka also noticed Menma, put down what he was doing, and put the child in his arms aside.
"Sir." The cute girl-like child also stood up and bowed obediently to Menma.
Xiaoxiang took the opportunity to jump off Menma's shoulder, held this "sister"'s hand, and looked left and right.
"Hiss-." Hearing this voice, Menma was sure and sure again.
He patted his forehead and said to Uzumaki Fuka, "Did I forget to tell you that Bai is a boy?"
"Really?" Uzumaki Fuka, still holding the comb in his hand, tilted his head, then turned to look at Bai standing on the corridor, but he still hadn't reacted.
"Auntie, I'm a boy." Bai raised his head and heard a timid voice, breaking Uzumaki Fuka's last bit of luck.
"M-M-Boy?!!" Uzumaki Fuka was shocked, his voice changed tone, he looked up and down at Shiro, who was wearing a kimono. He looked gentler and more like a lady than his own daughter.
If it weren't for the fact that Menma was here and she was afraid of hurting Bai, she would have wanted to check it out.
Uzumaki Kaori stared at Bai blankly, took off his glasses numbly, wiped the lenses repeatedly, and put them back on.
I can't figure it out in my little mind, how did that cute and beautiful young lady turn into a boy?
"So, why didn't you reject these clothes just now?!" Uzumaki Fuka pointed at Bai's women's clothes at a loss.
There were some government affairs that needed her approval just now, so she asked Bai to take a shower by himself and put some unworn clothes that she had bought for Xiang on the stool outside the bathroom.
After he came back from processing the batch of documents, Bai had already put on new clothes and sat obediently on the verandah blowing his hair.
That pitiful appearance immediately aroused Uzumaki Fuka's motherly glory, and she found a comb to comb Bai's hair herself.
"Because. I like it very much -" Bai lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, not daring to look directly at Uzumaki Fuka.
He wanted to say it because no one had ever been so kind to him since his parents died.
He has spent the past year living a homeless life, wandering from city to city in the north of Land of Water to the south. When he was hungry, he would rummage through trash cans for food, and when he was thirsty, he would drink some dew. Not only did he often have to compete with wild dogs for food, but he might also be bullied by other beggars and wanderers.
Although he has awakened Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, the shadow of killing his father and the villagers still lingers in his heart.
Bai Shang could still use Ice Release against those wild dogs that were snatching food, but when facing ordinary people, he had some psychological shadow.
"Okay, okay, it's okay." Uzumaki Fuka was also a poor man. Seeing Bai's appearance, he instantly felt soft and knelt down to hug Bai.
"Tomorrow aunt will take you to the market and buy you some new clothes for boys." Uzumaki Fuka stroked Bai's head and said with a smile, "Auntie also wants a son. If you don't mind, you can live with auntie."
After saying that, Uzumaki Fuka turned to Menma and asked, "Let me adopt this child, Master Asura."
Menma doesn't matter. Compared with Kimimaro, Kekkei Genkai Disease needs long-term treatment in the Medical Department. Shiro does not have Kekkei Genkai Disease. As long as he is given a normal environment, he can reach the strength of a jounin in a few years. He is even among the elite among jounin.
"Of course." Menma nodded, looked at Xiang next to him who had not yet come to his senses, raised his hand and tapped Xiang's head gently.
"!" Xiang covered her head and looked at Menma with tears in her eyes. "Brother, sister is gone---"
Hahahaha Menma burst into laughter.
Uzumaki Fuka also covered his mouth and chuckled.
In the evening, Menma stayed at Uzumaki House for dinner.
Uzumaki Fuka made a table of sumptuous dishes.
In front of the table, Uzumaki Fuka looked at Bai, who was eating gracefully with small mouthfuls, and then looked at the various dishes on the other side, devouring the delicious food. He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "It would be great if Bai was a girl, so that I could have two daughters."
"It's not that boys are bad, it's just that - Bai is so beautiful, no matter how you look at her, she looks more like a girl -" Uzumaki Fuka The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was a pity that Bai wasn't a girl.
After dinner, Uzumaki Fuka got busy.
I have to wash the dishes, clear the table, and clean up a room for Bai.
Originally, I wanted Bai and Xiang to live together so that the two children could have company, but now that we know Bai is a boy, it's not suitable.
So Vanilla cleared out a room that was originally used for sundries and used it as a bedroom.
Menma saw that Vanilla was so busy and that staying here might make her a little nervous and confused, so she stood up and left.
In the underground laboratory of the medical building, the Shadow Clones of Menma are busy conducting various researches.
The medical building is located between the experimental area and the family compound, with a moderate distance. Since Medical Ninjutsu's research is still in the development stage, although Menma has mastered some Medical Ninjutsu, it is not specialized, so the progress in cultivating medical ninjas has been slow.
After all, it is still too difficult for Shadow Clone to rely on him alone, so he needs to recruit more scientific research personnel.
"You're here." One of them, Shadow Clone with Number 11 printed on his back, raised his hand and greeted the main body.
"Have you thoroughly understood Orochimaru's research information?" Menma walked to a computer in the laboratory.
Although these computers looked a bit old, like they were from the early 2000s when he was on Earth, their processing capabilities were still very powerful.
"I have to say it's Orochimaru. Not long after I gave him the White Zetsu, I came up with the research results." Number 11 Shadow Clone pressed a switch.
The next moment, the big screen in front of the computer lit up, displaying detailed data and diagrams of the human body structure.
Number 11 Shadow Clone explained, "Iburi Clan believes in the forest. They have lived in tree holes in the forest for a long time. They have earth attribute chakra and water attribute chakra in their bodies, which can be used as the soil to breed Wood Release."
"Then Orochimaru used the God Tree gene extracted from White Zetsu's body as a seed, and incubated it with Hashirama Cells to achieve a neutralizing effect. The most stable cells were extracted from them and implanted into the skin tissue of the Iburi Clan people, effectively solidifying the genetic structure of the Iburi Clan."
"But if you want to continue in-depth research, you must conduct in vivo experiments." Number 11 Shadow Clone said, turning his attention to Menma's body. "In vivo experiments?" Menma stared at the various data on the big screen, frowning slightly under the mask.
Even in "Limited Tsukuyomi World", he adhered to the bottom line of not using ordinary people for in vivo experiments.
"Gota has taken the initiative to apply to participate in the experiment." Number 11 Shadow Clone pressed the switch on the side and said into a microphone, "Ask Gota to come up."
Not long after, my wife, the leader of the Ibri clan, walked into the laboratory with a solemn expression.
After seeing Asura wearing white Three-Eyed Fox Mask, Gota knelt down on one knee and said, "Sir, let me participate in the experiment."
"The mortality rate in the initial experiments was very high." Menma's deep voice came from under the mask.
"Sir, I am already twenty-three years old this year." Gota looked up at Asura with firm eyes and said sincerely, "I don't have much time."
Yutai's volunteering reminded Menma of what Gota said when he introduced Iburi Clan's situation to him.
"Because Kekkei Genkai is unstable, Iburi Clan will basically not survive until the age of twenty-five."
Isn't this a kind of Kekkei Genkai Disease? It can be said that Gota's life has entered a countdown. If a method to stabilize Iburi Clan Kekkei Genkai cannot be developed within two years, Gota will turn into a puff of smoke and drift away in the wind.
Therefore, Gota not only gave his loyalty to Lord Asura, but also gave his own life to fight for more opportunities for his people.
After understanding Gota's determination, Menma no longer refused, but asked, "Are you prepared for the worst?"
Gota solemnly replied, "My wife is pregnant, and together with other pregnant women in the clan, five children should be born next year."
"I hope that the position of patriarch will be passed on to Yukimi according to the tradition of the Iburi Clan. I hope you will allow it."
As the private property of Master Asura, Gota has handed over everything of the Iburi Clan to Asura, including the appointment of the clan leader.
"Oh?" Menma tilted his head slightly.
Yukimi is only fourteen or fifteen years old and has not yet fully grown up. Moreover, Iburi Clan has other older clan members. Why not pass the position of clan leader to other clan members?
Gota explained, "The lifespan of our clan is too short and we will die before the age of twenty-five. Therefore, every clan leader is appointed by a young man in the clan to succeed him when the old clan leader feels that he is about to die."
"In this way, we can ensure a stable period of 89 years."
Shinobi World children are generally very precocious, and some outstanding children have the thinking of adults at the age of twelve or thirteen.
However, in the Iburi Clan, at this age, he succeeded the clan leader and took on the important responsibilities of the clan. This lasted until the death of the new clan leader, which was probably less than ten years.
Over and over again, Iburi Clan's position as the patriarch comes with more of a heavy responsibility.
"In that case, let's get ready." Menma looked at Gota, who was looking forward to death, and nodded slowly.
"I already said goodbye to my tribe before coming here!" Gota stood up and took the blue and white striped hospital gown from an experimenter.
Menma lowered his head, and while Gota was changing into hospital clothes, he walked to the glass window of another experimental ward.
In the ward, Kimimaro was lying on the bed, shaking slightly. Several tubes were inserted into his body, and sedatives and various medicinal liquids were infused. Several Shadow Clones were conducting detailed investigations on his body and checking his condition.
"Have you determined the treatment plan for Kimimaro's situation?" Menma asked Number 12 Shadow Clone on the side.
Number 12 Shadow Clone, who was specifically responsible for Kimimaro, nodded, took out a piece of information, and reported, "According to research, Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai on Kimimaro The E problem stems from the imbalance of Yang Release Chakra. Fortunately, we did not rush to use the God Tree gene of White Zetsu or Hashirama Cells to conduct adjustment experiments, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Yang Release is the energy of Yang Power, which is derived from the body energy that controls life, and is given life in the invisible.
In other words, changes in physical properties are all related to Yang Release. For example, Multi-Size Technique of the Akimichi Clan, Uzumaki Clan's constitution, and Senju Clan's physical healing all fall within the scope of Yang Release.
The corresponding one is Yin Release, which uses the spiritual energy of the master's imagination as its source and has the characteristics of creating material images from nothing.
For example, Nara Clan's Shadow Possession Jutsu, Yamanaka Clan's spiritual ninjutsu, and one by one Sharingan!
Sharingan is synchronized with the power of the soul. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the awakening power.
This can also understand why Sharingan's illusion, "Izanagi" can rewrite reality.
"So, we recommend implanting a Sharingan or Byakugan into Kimimaro, and first try whether Yin Release Chakra can neutralize the Yang Release Chakra imbalance in his body." Number 12 Shadow Clone proposed an experimental plan.
"Eye transplantation?" Menma thought for a moment.
It's not that transplantation is difficult, Shinobi World, Sharingan, Byakugan, etc. all come with plug-and-play "USB".
"I remember that Kaguya Clan and Hyuga Clan are distant relatives, right?" Menma thought that as distant relatives, transplanting Byakugan should bring out the best results.
"Yes." Number 12 Shadow Clone nodded. "Hyuga Clan, Kaguya Clan and Otsutsuki Clan on the moon are all descendants of Hamura."
"The corresponding ones are Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan, and Uzumaki Clan. They are all descendants of Hagoromo."
Byakugan ah"Menma has two different Sharingans in his hands, but Byakugan really doesn't have one.
Moreover, the acquisition channel for Byakugan is too simple. The Caged Bird seal of the Hyuga Clan will trigger Caged Bird to directly destroy Byakugan once the eyeball leaves the body and loses connection.
Although Menma has "Caged Bird Seal" which can temporarily seal Caged Bird Seal, it is not a long-term solution.
And Byakugan, who is not restricted by Caged Bird, except for Main House members of the Hyuga Clan, there is only Qing of Kirigakure.
But the green Byakugan needs to be kept to cause some trouble for Obito, otherwise it won't work for Obito to keep controlling Kirigakure like this.
It seems that we can only try to start with Hyuga Main House.
