Xuanhui asked Kurenai Yuhi to let him take the three members of Team Eight.
He brought Kiba, Shino, and Hinata to the laboratory in his home.
Once they passed through the electronic door, all three were stunned by the pristine, high-tech surroundings.
"Wow! This is amazing!"
"I'd heard our teacher had a nice laboratory, but I never thought I'd finally get to see it for myself today."
Xuanhui walked over to the refrigerated cabinet and took out two test tubes.
"Kiba, Shino, come here.
Hinata, go wait beside Pakura for a bit. Don't touch anything!"
Hinata obediently sat down beside Pakura.
Seeing how shy Hinata looked, Pakura immediately hatched a plan!
"Hinata, let me tell you..."
Kiba and Shino exchanged glances, then walked over to Xuanhui.
"The cells in these two test tubes are called genetically engineered cells."
The two took the test tubes and examined them carefully.
"What do they do?"
Shino adjusted his glasses, curious about the cells' function.
"These cells can devour useful gene segments from other cells.
The gene segments they devour will be written into their own genetic code."
Xuanhui pointed at Akamaru, who was perched on Kiba's head.
"If we transplant them into Akamaru, he can eat the meat of other animals or summoned beasts. Blood works too. Basically, anything containing their cells.
After eating them, Akamaru can evolve, retaining their useful, superior genes!"
At that, Kiba finally understood!
He lifted Akamaru off his head, his eyes blazing with excitement!
"So you're saying my Akamaru can evolve into the Ultimate Species?"
"Once he's evolved far enough, he'll even be able to speak. He might not be able to swallow heaven and earth, but becoming the King of Beasts will be a piece of cake!"
"Holy shit!"
Holding Akamaru, Kiba rubbed him against his cheek
