The Artificial Kekkei Genkai Experiment Succeeded!
The warm atmosphere between mentor and apprentice in the office lasted for a while, after which Hiruko his orders and withdrew.
Within a single day, he submitted a detailed list of candidates.
The list contained no genius ninjas or scions of powerful families; it consisted entirely of ordinary genin and junior chunin who were the most unremarkable in Konoha, perpetually Genin at their limits and Chunin only mediocre talent.
These people have trained for many years, Chakra reserves are low, their Ninjutsu aptitude is mediocre, they have no bloodline limit, and they don't have any special physiques. In Konoha, where geniuses abound, they will most likely only be low-level ninjas for their entire lives, and it will be difficult for them to break through their limits.
The loyalty of this group of people has been thoroughly verified by the Anbu. They have clean family backgrounds, are all native to Konoha, and are stable in character. Their only drawback is that their talent is ordinary, but participating in the bloodline experiment is their chance to defy fate.
In the past, talent determined a ninja's future in the ninja Shinobi World. Ninjas born into the Kekkei Genkai Clan had a higher potential than ninjas from commoner backgrounds.
As the saying goes, how can ten years of hard study compare to the accumulation of three generations of someone else's family history?
Aside from those geniuses, no matter how hard ordinary ninjas try, they can never catch up with those born with Kekkei Genkai.
But today, Kagami Uchiha and Hiruko are going to completely break this ironclad rule that has lasted for thousands of years in the Shinobi World.
Deep inside the Konoha Research Institute's laboratory, dozens of ordinary chunin Genin neat rows, their expressions a mixture of trepidation and barely concealed anticipation.
Most of them are around twenty years old, and have long since come to realize that they are mediocre, and their lives are almost already set in stone.
But when they learned that the Lord Hokage had given them this opportunity to be reborn, everyone was filled with a burning desire: a burning desire to break free from their mediocre lives and a burning desire to surpass their own limits and serve the Lord Hokage better.
They didn't seek instant success; they only hoped to live up to the village's resources and the Lord Hokage's expectations.
Hiruko the research institute's standard white lab coat, Hiruko stood before the crowd, her expression calm, her voice firm. "Comrades, you are all fortunate enough to have been chosen."
"He is someone chosen by the Lord Hokage, someone who has been given a chance to defy fate."
"Today's modification experiment is not taboo."
"This is a stable and safe Artificial Kekkei Genkai Ninja modification experiment that has been analyzed by our research institute for several years, eliminating any backlash."
"This experiment is divided into two types of bloodline adaptations: Steel Release bloodline and Swift Release bloodline."
"Those with strong physiques and outstanding endurance are suited for the Steel Release bloodline; those with agile movements and nimble agility are suited for the Swift Release bloodline."
"The entire transformation process is painless. Even if it fails, there is no reduction in lifespan, and there is no risk of dying from body explosion!"
"Those who successfully undergo the modification will become the first batch of artificially created Kekkei Genkai the Shinobi World."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ordinary Chunin and Genin gasped for breath, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Hiruko's words completely overturned their understanding: Kekkei Genkai could also be acquired later in life?
That was so exciting!
The renovation ceremony officially began.
The sophisticated Technique Formula array surrounding each operating table glowed with a pale blue light, and a specially formulated Cell Culture Fluid was slowly injected into the human body's meridians. The optimized Kekkei Genkai Factor seeds were gradually grafted into the meridians and cells of the patients.
There was no excruciating pain, no rejection, no rampage. Only a warm, special Chakra gently washed over their bodies.
Time passed slowly, and three hours later...
The first batch of ninjas participating in the experiment have all been modified.
Outside the laboratory, in the training area, dozens of ninjas who had just completed their modifications were stretching their bodies and tentatively circulating their Chakra.
Several of the burly ninjas suddenly developed a dark metallic sheen, their skin condensing into a thin layer of steel-like texture, making them hard, heavy, and increasing their defensive capabilities several times over.
It is the Steel Release bloodline limit. Originally, he was just an ordinary ninja who could only use Taijutsu and some common Ninjutsu. Now, his physical strength can withstand Kunai and Shuriken, and he can easily resist ordinary low-level Ninjutsu.
Many other ninjas, as they circulated their Chakra, suddenly became incredibly light, their Chakra bursting forth beneath their feet, leaving behind numerous afterimages, their speed so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch them.
Ten meters in a single step, leaving no trace in Body Flicker Technique —this is the bloodline of Swift Release. In the past, it would have taken many years of arduous training to master the Body Flicker Technique, but now, with a single awakening, it has been completely mastered.
Everyone stared blankly at their own hands, feeling the earth-shattering changes within themselves, their eyes filled with shock and ecstasy.
"I... I really possess Kekkei Genkai?"
"How can a Genin like me, born a commoner, master a unique bloodline limit Ninjutsu?"
"Hahaha, so what if we have mediocre talent? From now on, we are also ninjas with Kekkei Genkai!"
"All of this was caused by the Lord Hokage and Hiruko."
"Long live the Lord Hokage!"
"Long Hiruko!"
Cheers erupted, and the inferiority and helplessness that these ordinary ninjas had felt for years vanished in that moment.
On the high platform of the research institute, Hiruko at the successfully modified Kekkei Genkai Ninja below, his face filled with excitement, his fists clenched tightly together.
The shackles that have bound the Shinobi World since ancient times have been broken by Konoha today, Teuchi by Hiruko himself!
Not talented enough? Mediocre aptitude?
No problem. Konoha can now create bloodline limits, which can continuously raise the ceiling of ninjas. And this is just ordinary Steel Release and Swift Release. There are so many powerful bloodline limits in the Shinobi World.
Kirigakure... Kumogakure... Iwagakure... Sunagakure... even their own Konoha's Kekkei Genkai Clan...
Thinking of this, Hiruko could no longer conceal his ambition. He raised his hand to suppress the excited ninjas below, and said with a roused expression, "Everyone, remember, this is just the beginning. In the future, there will be more mature Kekkei Genkai Factor, and you can continue to grow stronger."
"Everyone, you must always remember the Lord Hokage's kindness!"
The successful experiment on Kekkei Genkai ninja quickly reached the Hokage Building.
Kagami Uchiha gazed at the experimental report submitted by the research institute, looking at the data on a whole batch of ordinary chunin Genin had successfully transformed into Kekkei Genkai Ninja, a glint of light flickering in his eyes.
Since he took Hokage Position, he has spent more than a decade collecting various bloodline samples, vigorously supporting Hiruko, and tacitly approving all reforms and innovations in the research institute. Finally, today, he has seen the results!
From then on, Konoha no longer needed to rely on those Kekkei Genkai Clan; it only needed to cultivate ordinary ninjas, and in the future, Konoha's Kekkei Genkai Ninja would flourish everywhere.
The ninja clans that enjoyed a special status in the old era thanks to their Kekkei Genkai will be completely changed starting today!
Under his command, Konoha is about to give birth to a massive Artificial Kekkei Genkai Army is absolutely loyal to him.
Even with his calm demeanor, Kagami Uchiha couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of this scene.
This feeling... is just... so amazing!
