Completing the Hyuga Genetic Sequence

Caged Bird also had a spreading and assimilating effect. Once it was branded onto a host, it spread through the host's use of Chakra.

Riding the flow of Chakra, it gradually spread the mark of Caged Bird throughout the entire body.

Until it branded the mark of Caged Bird upon your soul.

The longer it remained, the harder Caged Bird became to remove.

At present, removing Rin's Caged Bird was undoubtedly the easiest.

Rin had only just received the Caged Bird brand, and it had not yet gradually infected her soul along with the flow of Chakra.

At this stage, Caged Bird was at its most vulnerable because it had only just been born.

However, this curse seal was imprinted upon the nerves and the Byakugan.

Any mistake would trigger Caged Bird and destroy the Byakugan. Moreover, Yin-Yang Release was far too complicated.

That was clearly unwise. Yayoi did not dare attempt it recklessly, so he chose a safer method.

After examining and collecting Rin's physical data, Yayoi took out the scroll he carried with him.

Poof!

A transparent test tube appeared in Yayoi's hand, containing a layer of crimson liquid.

This was Hyuga Gene Fluid.

Yayoi had collected the cells and blood of every famous Ninja clan in Konoha.

At the hospital, no one had more convenient access than he did.

After years of collection and research, he discovered that every Ninja with a bloodline limit possessed a special genetic sequence within their genes.

This genetic sequence was like hereditary information transcribed from Chakra.

The reason bloodline clans could pass down their abilities generation after generation had been uncovered. Their descendants inherited their ancestors' blood, and with it, the genetic sequence within.

Combined with Konoha's research materials on bloodline limits, these genetic sequences were, without exception, the result of Chakra's influence.

When two Chakra natures fused, if the fusion succeeded by chance, Chakra would thoroughly transform the human body.

Genetic information would mutate under the influence of Chakra.

That was also the origin of bloodline clans.

But the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and now the Hyuga—

Their special genetic sequences were even more extraordinary.

Yayoi had once conducted comparison experiments and discovered obvious differences.

The Senju's special hereditary information was completely different from that of ordinary bloodline Ninjas.

This was a fundamental difference determined at the genetic level.

Only the Uchiha and Hyuga could rival the Senju genetically.

Yayoi guessed that it might be related to Chakra fusion.

"Inject it. This is—"

Yayoi poured the liquid from the test tube into a syringe and handed it to Rin. But before he could explain, Rin immediately injected the liquid into her body.

Rin really was obedient.

Faced with Rin's utterly unreserved trust, Yayoi could only call it a joke of fate.

Memories of his first time working with Rin resurfaced in Yayoi's mind.

He had not expected that a single Interest in Caged Bird would make Rin trust him so deeply.

"This is the Hyuga Clan's genetic sequence. Unlike the Uchiha and Senju, every Hyuga Clan member's genetic sequence contains gaps.

This syringe contains a complete sequence I pieced together from the genes of different Hyuga Clan members."

Yayoi still explained it to Rin.

"What will happen if the sequence is completed?"

Rin raised her head to look at Yayoi. Because of the difference in height, she could only see his eyes.

"Your aptitude will improve, and the Hyuga Clan's innate abilities will also receive a major boost. As for the Byakugan, it might be able to see more clearly and farther.

I don't know about the rest. This is my first time injecting it too."

Yayoi indicated that this was his first time as well.

Ever since he broke through the bottleneck of Uchiha Gene Fluid, it seemed that the bottlenecks of the gene fluids from these clans had broken through as well.

"But don't worry. Even if it fails, there won't be any danger."

Gene Fluid from members of the same clan would not cause rejection in one another.

That was also why Yayoi had not immediately injected Yan after developing the Senju Gene Fluid.

Even if they were closely related, there was still risk if they were not from the same clan.

Hearing Yayoi's words, Rin nodded.

The atmosphere then fell silent. Rin did not know what to say, so she simply waited for Yayoi to speak first.

Yayoi, meanwhile, was observing Rin, wanting to see what changes would occur after her Hyuga genes had been completed.

"Yayoi, my eyes are itchy."

After a while, Rin finally spoke.

"Don't rub them. Let me take a look."

Yayoi moved closer to Rin's Pure White Eyes and examined them carefully.

Their eyes drew close at an extremely short distance. Rin could clearly see Yayoi's black pupils and his face.

His scorching breath instantly left Rin frozen, afraid to move.

Thump, thump, thump.

Her heartbeat accelerated, and her body seemed to grow a little hot.

With the enhancement of his dual bloodlines, Yayoi's hearing was exceptionally sharp, so he naturally noticed Rin's physical condition and silently made a note of it.

"Clinical manifestations after completing Rin's Hyuga gene sequence."

"Accelerated heartbeat. Her heart may have been strengthened. It is speculated that her overall physical condition may receive a major boost."

"The rise in body temperature is also a normal reaction. Combined with the first conclusion, this special Chakra information may be modifying Rin's body."

Yayoi thought so, intending to record these observations once he had finished examining her.

The next time he compiled the experimental results, he would report them back to Orochimaru.

"It itches."

"I'll blow on it. Then it won't itch anymore."

"Does it still itch?"

"Not anymore, but my vision is a little blurry."

"Rest for a while. I'm going to write something down."

Yayoi opened his notebook and began recording the experimental data from earlier, preparing to organize the materials and exchange data with Orochimaru next time.

When Rin finally felt that her eyes had returned to normal, she hurriedly called Yayoi over.

"Yayoi, my vision has recovered. I think I can see farther now."

Rin activated her Byakugan. Her Pure White Eyes seemed even more beautiful now, like the bright moon in the sky.

"I think I can see that barbecue restaurant we often go to."

Rin said with her eyes open.

"The barbecue restaurant?"

It was two kilometers away from here.

Yayoi knew that the Byakugan's effective scouting range was only within one kilometer.

Yet Rin could easily see the barbecue restaurant two kilometers away. This undoubtedly showed that completing her genes had greatly enhanced her Byakugan.

"Can you sense how the Caged Bird feels to you now?"

Yayoi asked.

The Caged Bird was still the most crucial matter.

"I can feel that the Caged Bird's restraint on me has weakened."

Rin said uncertainly.

However, according to Yayoi's observations, the curse mark on Rin's forehead had indeed faded somewhat just now.

Rin was still in a period of rapid growth. Perhaps, given enough time, the Caged Bird would gradually disappear.

However, Yayoi had never placed his hopes on the Gene Fluid. He only hoped it could slightly delay the Caged Bird's erosion of Rin.

Once Orochimaru returned after some time and they exchanged their recent findings, they could more or less begin developing a method to remove the Caged Bird.

After all, the Caged Bird's curse mark was not complicated. It had only become complex because of a trace of Yin-Yang Release within it.

And Orochimaru had already told Yayoi some days ago that he had found a lead toward solving it.

With Orochimaru's intelligence, he would surely think of a solution soon.
