"What to do?"
Senju Chen chuckled lightly, with a kind of calmness and confidence in his smile, as if he was discussing a simple math problem.
"I have two plans here." He stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Kurenai Yuhi and Anko.
"First, hardware upgrade."
"Huh?" Anko said subconsciously, with questions on his face, "Hardware? What hardware?"
"It is to strengthen the body of that 'kitten' into the body of a 'tiger'." Senju Chen explained in words they could understand, "When the container is strong enough and large enough, it will naturally be able to carry stronger power. When Yakumo's body can bear the power of her huge soul, then she will naturally be "good"."
"But... can this be done?" Kurenai Yuhi's voice was still uncertain.
"Actually, in this case, she should have been soaked in body-strengthening potions since she was very young, and accompanied by high-intensity physical exercises. When her mental power is not particularly strong, her body should have grown along with her mental power since she was a child. It's just that her family has never encountered her situation, so it was delayed until now, causing her body to be so weak."
"Ah? What should I do then? Yakumo may not be able to support even the slightest movement now. How can I continue to do exercises to strengthen my body?"
"It's indeed a bit late now, but there are other ways." Senju Chen's tone was as calm as saying, "Tenten is feeling pretty good today."
This calm confidence made Kurenai Yuhi feel a little more at ease. She thought of Maruboshi Kosuke's intact leg. The "medical skills" of the man in front of her could not be judged by common sense.
"Listen to the second one first. The second one is software optimization." Senju Chen's eyes turned to Kurama Yakumo, and his eyes became deep.
"Yakumo's current mental power is like a wild Tailed Beast, violent and powerful, and it has been growing wildly with her age. She doesn't know how to control her power. Now Yakumo is still young, but as she grows older, this mental power will become stronger and will directly crush her body."
"Chen-kun, then... can you seal the power in Yakumo's body so that she will no longer become stronger?" Kurenai Yuhi said.
"The seal can only be temporary, because no matter how strong the seal is, there is an upper limit. But after my investigation just now, I found that the growth of mental power in Yakumo's body is far beyond her control."
"Once the intensity of the increase in mental power exceeds the upper limit of the seal, then this mental power will even directly burst her body."
"Ah?" Hearing this will make his body explode. When he thinks of that scene, not to mention Anko and Kurenai Yuhi, even Kurama Yakumo looks at Senju Chen with a look of horror.
"So, what Yakumo needs to do now is not to seal her mental power, but to learn how to... control and release it"
The whole room was silent.
Kurenai Yuhi and Anko were completely confused by Senju Chen's theory of "hardware upgrade", "software optimization", "control" and "release".
Although they didn't understand many words, they understood the core meaning.
Senju Chen's idea is completely opposite to any method they know!
It's not about sealing the power in Yakumo's body, but about strengthening her body!
Not to suppress her mental power, but to channel and release it!
This... this is absolutely crazy!
You must know that when Kurama Yakumo was young, he indirectly killed his parents because he could not control himself and released his huge power.
Still released?
Do you think Kurama Clan is not destitute enough...
"Chen-kun..." Kurenai Yuhi's lips moved, with an extremely complicated expression, "You mean...Yakumo is so weak because she is too strong? And your method is not only to not suppress Yakumo's power, but also to help her learn to control this power and make her stronger???"
"Yes." Senju Chen said it was reasonable.
Senju Chen ignored Kurenai Yuhi who was deep in thought. He squatted down again and looked at Kurama Yakumo's eyes.
This time, his gaze was no longer gentle, but had a strange penetrating power, as if he could see through her pale face and look directly into the lonely and violent ocean deep in her heart.
"Yakumo."
His voice was not high, but it reached the girl's ears clearly.
"Do you want to leave this room?"
Kurama Yakumo was slightly startled.
"Do you want to run around in the sun like other children without having to worry about falling down at any time?"
The girl's breathing became slightly faster.
Senju Chen's voice was a little bewildered, and he pointed to a gloomy painting on the wall depicting a giant one-eyed eye and a burning house.
"Do you want to be accepted by everyone instead of being a monster that everyone fears?"
"Let the flames bloom at your fingertips, let the thunder obey your command, and let everyone see that the birds you draw can really soar in the sky!"
Boom!
These words were like a key, accurately inserted into the deepest keyhole of Kurama Yakumo's heart, and turned hard!
She has been trapped in this small room all year round, and painting is her only solace and an outlet for her strength.
She painted beautiful things, as well as her inner fears and nightmares.
When the tribesmen see her, their eyes always show fear and alienation. They don't understand, they just think it's ominous.
Even Teacher Kurenai, who understands her best, always shows a worried look when he sees her.
She knew all this, so she always acted very well-behaved and sensible, making herself look less aggressive. She was afraid that those who were willing to contact her would be scared away again after learning about her.
But there has never been anyone like the man in front of me.
He understood her painting!
In other words, he understood the desire for freedom and loneliness deep in her heart!
What he was talking about was exactly the scene that had appeared countless times in her dreams!
Kurama Yakumo's body trembled slightly with excitement, and for the first time, an extremely bright light burst out from her obsidian eyes, which were flames called "hope" and "desire"!
"I... I want to!"
She almost blurted out, her voice a bit sharp due to excitement, but full of unprecedented determination!
Seeing the light in the girl's eyes, Senju Chen smiled with satisfaction.
Done.
As for the little girl, talk about treatment, talk about risks, just talk about dreams with her and that's it.
"Very good." Senju Chen stood up, regained his gentle and humble look, and said to Kurenai Yuhi, "Hong, as you can see, Yakumo himself is very willing. But this 'treatment plan' requires a long-term, systematic process. So..."
He paused and finally revealed his true purpose.
"I suggest that Yakumo join my Medical Department as a special observer. On the one hand, it is convenient for me to follow up on her 'hardware upgrade' and 'software optimization' progress at any time. On the other hand, her unique ability can also provide some... new ideas for our 'scientific research'."
"This..." Kurenai Yuhi hesitated immediately.
Of course she hopes that Yakumo can be cured, but adding the mysterious "Medical Department" to Senju Chen is said to be able to regenerate amputated limbs for people in the village, but it has not been officially established yet.
However, before she could think of her words, an old and majestic voice suddenly came from the door.
"No need."
The three of them turned around when they heard the sound, and saw an old man with gray hair in a dark kimono standing at the door. He was leaning on a cane, his face was pale, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he was staring at Senju Chen.
Behind him, there were several Kurama Clan ninjas, all of whom looked evil.
"Great Elder!" Kurenai Yuhi's expression changed and he saluted quickly.
Kurama Clan's servant also knelt on the ground, trembling.
The person who came was none other than the current great elder of the Kurama Clan, Kurama Unkai.
Kurama Unkai ignored Kurenai Yuhi. His cloudy yet shrewd eyes looked at Senju Chen up and down. The cane tapped lightly on the wooden floor and made a muffled sound.
"Senju Clan boy, I heard what you said just now outside the door." His voice was hoarse and cold.
He changed the topic and his tone was full of undeniable majesty, "Yakumo is a genius that we Kurama Clan have not seen in a century, and is the only hope for the revival of our clan! No outsiders should worry about her matter!"
"We, Kurama Clan, have our own way of cultivating family geniuses!"
