After sealing the Cursed Seal on Guren's shoulder, Kato Osamu left the Grass Shinobi Hospital with Kabuto. Rin seemed to be very close to the girl and stayed at the hospital to take care of her.

Back in the courtyard, Kato Osamu thought for a moment and realized he should probably teach his disciple some more Ninjutsu...

"Kabuto, you have great talent. You have a strong control over Chakra and a natural aptitude for Medical Ninjutsu. You are very well-suited for training in Yang Release Chakra..."

"Yang Release Ninjutsu is very rare. As far as I know, the only ones are the Expansion Jutsu of the Konoha Akimichi Clan and Princess Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength, which are also applications of Yang Release Chakra..."

"Unlike the Five Elements Release, Yang Release Chakra primarily originates from physical strength. Right now, you can only forge your own path after thoroughly understanding Medical Ninjutsu..."

"However, that's still a bit too early..."

"Now that you've mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, today I'll teach you a new Ninjutsu — Chakra Scalpel!"

"A special Ninjutsu derived from Medical Ninjutsu, with a learning difficulty level of A..."

"This Ninjutsu requires concentrating Yang Release Chakra in the hand and transforming it into a sharp blade by changing its shape."

Not only can it replace a regular scalpel for cutting any part of the body for further medical treatment, but it can also be used for organ transplantation using the power of Yang Release. Of course, it can also be used in battle, not only to sever an opponent's muscles and meridians, but also as a weapon to cut the opponent, with tremendous power."

Kato Osamu smiled gently, slowly conjuring a ball of blue fluorescence in his hand. Under Kabuto's expectant gaze, he swiftly tapped several times on Kabuto's body, a hint of confusion flashing in Kabuto's eyes...

"Trying to attack me..."

"Yes!" Even with some confusion, Kabuto responded immediately, his eyes sharpening. However, just as he was about to launch an attack, his body seemed to completely disobey his commands. He tried to move his left foot, but his right hand swung backward. Before he could even ask a question, he lost his balance and fell to the ground...

"So that's how it is?" Dou, who was lying quietly on the ground, seemed to be feeling the difference in his body. The light in his eyes grew stronger, as if he had figured something out. Although he was a little stiff, he slowly propped himself up and stood up after only a moment.

"The principle behind this technique is to alter the body's meridians and disrupt nerve conduction..."

"That's right. The principle behind the technique isn't that difficult, but mastering it still requires a lot of practice... You understand, Kabuto. Medical Ninjutsu, or Yang Release, requires extremely high Chakra control. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to control this power, but you might even harm yourself..."

"I understand, Master!"

After spending an afternoon teaching Kabuto the details of Chakra Scalpel, Kato Osamu returned to the lab. Hiruko had spent the day in the lab and should have understood the value of that research by now.

"We can't defy fate, nor can we rely on knowledge. This world is truly unfair..."

Hiruko seemed somewhat dejected. This incident appeared to be a heavy blow to his long-held beliefs. Perhaps he had always wanted to rely on his own abilities to acquire a stronger bloodline to prove himself, but now, that path seemed to be completely blocked.

If a powerful bloodline is merely a manifestation of ancestral regression, then what's the point of plundering so much? Without the connection between bloodlines, it's like a Suigetsu; he can never unleash the true power of his Kekkei Genkai...

"It seems you've come to understand some of the 'truths' about this world..."

Kato Osamu looked at Hiruko, who, though somewhat listless, still retained her spirit, though a hint of anger lurked within her, an anger that rose from the depths of her heart.

Some people are just born lucky, possessing things that most people in this world don't have, while others have to struggle to survive...

"This world... it's truly awful!"

Hiruko at the scroll with hatred, and as a somber voice rang out, his fists clenched involuntarily.

"Kato Osamu, what do you want to do! If it's about turning this damned world upside down, then I think I'll give it my all!"

Hiruko has always been an extreme and sensitive person; otherwise, she wouldn't have developed the Chimera Technique in order to prove herself.

Kato Osamu seemed surprised that this guy would be so arrogant as to say he could 'overthrow' the world, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"If you're serious, I'll consider this rather bold suggestion..."

Hiruko hearing Kato Osamu's words, Hiruko became agitated. "Could it be that you brought me here and showed me the contents of the scroll not for this very purpose?"

"Can you tolerate those high and mighty beings lording it over you?"

"The worst that can happen is death!"

Hiruko's voice gradually rose, as if never before had he felt that his life was no longer a failure. His soaring enthusiasm and determination to overturn the world were enough to help him struggle out of the quagmire of his life.

His resolve seemed stronger than ever before. It turned out that the problem wasn't him, but the world!

"So, shall we lead the ninjas of Kusagakure tomorrow to attack Konoha, Cloud Shinobi, Sand Shinobi, and Iwagakure?"

"And then they all go to their deaths?"

With a sneer, Kato Osamu looked at Hiruko with a deep, Hiruko seemed somewhat uncomfortable...

"Where are your companions? Where are those powerful beings? Are they just standing by and doing nothing?"

"Why do you think they'll listen to me? Or do you think we can simply raise a call and they'll flock to us with grain and followers?"

"This world is now in their hands, you must understand..."

"Before you have sufficient strength, whatever you want to do, please keep it firmly in your heart..."

"Now that you've seen the 'truth' about this Shinobi World, have you ever considered whether it's really that simple? So easily collapsed with just a little Shinobi World from you?"

"Hiruko, your Chimera Technique won't work, and neither will my Spirit Transformation Technique..."

"Whatever we want to do, now we need even greater power!"

"I hope you understand, and then keep what I said today to yourself. If I hear it again, you don't want to know what the consequences will be..."

Hiruko her mouth as if to say something but hesitated, ultimately falling silent, only muttering, "Alright... I understand..."

"So, what do you want me to do now?"

"You already know that these major families all shared a common ancestor, and that the power of Kekkei Genkai is a form of ancestral regression..."

"So, don't you want to know what kind of power is needed to accomplish this kind of atavism?"

With a slight smile, Kato Osamu slowly took out a scroll from his pocket, which was almost identical to the experimental materials Kabuto had used before.

"These are three pairs of Sharingan, Hashirama Cells, Uzumaki Cells, Hyuga Cells, and some research data I've collected on the Sharingan over the years..."

"I want to understand... what would happen if these bloodlines were simultaneously subjected to atavism, and it happened in one person..."
