Soon there were no more words between the two people. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. They looked at each other but were speechless. Dan Katō gently hugged Shizune, then opened the door and left the room.
He still had business to do. The experiment next door had officially begun. He gently opened the door. Except for the beeping of the instruments from time to time, everyone was extremely quiet. It seemed that even breathing was at a minimum.
Hyuga Toshio's body is shining with blue-white fluorescent light, and he is using Spirit Transformation Technique to peel off the most important parts of the human body.
The first thing that fluttered was the hair, and then the scalp. At this time, he had taken off the Forehead Protector that was tied to his forehead, and the cyan Caged Bird Seal was quietly in its original place.
Until the soul there began to peel off, everyone present, including Orochimaru, all felt numb.
Although Caged Bird Seal is just a small mark on his forehead, when Spirit Transformation Technique peeled off the soul of Hyuga Toshio, everyone saw the truth.
The head of his soul was almost completely filled with black Curse Mark, just like the Hyuga Branch Family that Orochimaru forcibly saved at that time had become a vegetative state.
But Orochimaru was only slightly shocked, and quickly started up all the equipment, checking whether the various indicators were intact and making sure to record all the details.
"This is the core secret of Caged Bird. The Curse Mark engraved on the soul is really beautiful." He murmured softly.
"Where did you see the beauty..." Hyuga Toshio's head left his body, but he found that he could still use the power of Byakugan. The chakra he retained in the spirit body could actually supply Byakugan to the spirit body.
He could also see the appearance of his forehead. Those dense lines almost made him want to vomit, not because it was an ugly thing, but when he thought about the chains that held him and the Hyuga Branch Familys, his stomach couldn't help twisting.
But when he looked at Hinata, he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
"Young Miss, even if you cover your face, I can still see it." His voice slowed down and became softer.
If there was anyone who had the biggest reaction to the lines on his spiritual body, it was only Hinata. She lowered her head, even turned around, sobbing quietly.
It was also because of these few days of getting along that she understood the meaning of Curse Mark on Hyuga Toshio's head. They were shackles on the huge Hyuga Branch Family.
Before they enter Ninja Academy, such a mark will be carved on their foreheads. Every Hyuga Branch Family is without exception, and even Uncle Hizashi is not immune.
In the past, just hearing other people say this was far less impactful than the true face of Curse Mark now. With such ugly things engraved on their souls, they must be suffering from huge pain all the time.
"It hurts, does it hurt?" There was a hint of crying in her voice.
But Hyuga Toshio laughed, shook his head gently and said, "It has been hurting for more than ten years and has long been numb. But numbness does not mean that the pain disappears. It just means that the pain reaches deep and is wrapped up by thick skin."
"However, if you just wrap it up, the wound will not heal on its own. Instead, it will get worse and deeper until everything is rotten."
"Now cut the flesh and let the ugly wound be exposed to the air again and exposed to the eyes of everyone. Although it will be more painful, there is also hope of healing."
"So don't cry, you should be happy, Young Miss."
But Hinata cried even harder, because she knew that the one who swung the knife and carved the wound was Main Family, the former her, her father, the amiable Elder.
Dan Katō stretched out his hand, hugged Hinata's head, let her lean against him, and patted her back gently, but Orochimaru just laughed, and then said, "It's over, we have collected enough data."
On the screen of the machine next to him, the spirit body of Hyuga Toshio was displayed, and every Curse Mark on it had been clearly recorded.
Other equipment has also been completed and the content required by Orochimaru has been recorded. Now it is only necessary for the spirit body of Hyuga Toshio to return to his own body, and today's research can be declared complete.
This is the most difficult part, but Hyuga Toshio has become very familiar with it. Although it is not as easy as Dan Katō, his fusion speed this time is much faster than the last time. Not to mention any surprises, there is not even a bit of surprise.
"Young Miss, stop wiping your tears and come and untie me."
Hyuga Toshio shook his legs slightly and said loudly, Hinata took three steps and two steps at a time, unbuckled the experimental table, and supported Hyuga Toshio to stand up.
"Go and play with your sister Shizune. I still have something to tell Orochimaru." He stretched out his arm, touched Hinata's shoulder with his drooping hand, and said softly.
But before Hinata could leave Laboratory, Orochimaru expressed his objection. He looked at Hinata and said to Hyuga Toshio, "Let her stay."
"I don't want to see a little girl in Laboratory crying and asking for someone from me, so if you have anything going on, it's best to let your Young Miss know."
Hyuga Toshio looked at Orochimaru, then at Hinata, and sighed lightly. He originally wanted to communicate with Orochimaru in private, but did not want to tell Young Miss.
Although he was just a real person and not a follower or a guard, after spending a few days together, he discovered that Young Miss, who Branch Family once dismissed and thought was destined to join them, was actually a great little girl.
There is no arrogance belonging to the Main Family, and he is no longer as timid and cowardly as before. He does not want to make such a good girl sad, but...
"When she leaves the village, it is equivalent to graduating from the Ninja Academy. She is naturally considered a real ninja. I have seen her practice. Although she is not as good as the real Chunin, it is not too different."
"In the original war years, such people had already killed the enemy on the battlefield. If you really treat her as a family member, then tell her your plan." Orochimaru continued.
He is really good at persuading people. Hyuga Toshio nodded, looked at Dan Katō and said, "Mr. Duan, please stay for a moment."
"Okay, as long as Orochimaru lets me stay here." Dan Katō shrugged. His existence or not all depends on Orochimaru.
"Then you should stay for a while."
Orochimaru finally printed out all the experimental data. He held the thick paper in his hand, raised his head, looked at Hyuga Toshio, and said, "Tell me, the time before you can stay here is running out."
