The management of the Reform Society held a meeting, with all senior executives and trusted members of the management team in attendance.
This also includes the five members of a five-person co-governance system.
Of course, Rasa came here secretly to avoid being discovered by other forces.
at the same time.
Hoshino's true form arrived at the underground laboratory.
The meeting doesn't necessarily require his physical body to be present, and the same applies to his Puppet Clone.
In any case, the shadow Shadow Clone and the original body share the same thoughts.
Stepping into the basement.
It's much livelier here than before.
Unfortunately, without exception, they were all researchers in the field of mechanical engineering; not a single one was from the field of biology.
Unfortunately, he himself isn't good at biology, which is a real problem.
But thinking about it, I can understand.
After all, in this era, human research is still taboo, and few people would dare to touch upon it.
Inside the laboratory.
Dozens of researchers sat around a long table, intently disassembling various mechanical devices.
Computers, radio devices, signal transmitters, and even several Chakra -driven engines that appeared to be from the Land of Snow.
Most of these devices were acquired from the black market or purchased from other places.
"How's it going?" Hoshino walked up behind one of the researchers and asked in a low voice.
Without looking up, the man's fingers flew as he disassembled the circuit board, replying, "The core structure of these devices is very special. It doesn't resemble the craftsmanship of the Shinobi World; it's more like a product of... a mixture of Chakra and unknown technology."
Hoshino narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Who made these things?
The Land of Snow? Or some hidden force lurking in the shadows?
Can it be reverse engineered?
"Yes, but the effect will be less than ideal."
The researcher pointed to several prototypes in the corner, "Our replicated communication device currently only has one-third the effective range of the original."
Hoshino nodded and walked towards the work area on the other side.
Researchers here are testing a newly assembled Chakra sensing device.
A female technician wearing protective goggles was correcting the antenna angle, and the device emitted intermittent beeping sounds.
"The signal interference problem hasn't been resolved yet?" Hoshino asked.
The female technician sighed, "These foreign devices use very special encryption methods; the jammers we manufacture can only block certain frequency bands."
Hoshino looked thoughtfully at the parts on the workbench.
Although progress has been slow, at least the basic principles of these devices have been figured out.
Although the communicator made by Sunagakure was rudimentary, it was safe and reliable.
"Continue optimizing the signal receiving module," Hoshino instructed. "Focus on testing its stability in dusty environments."
As he walked up the stairs leading to the second basement level, Hoshino took one last look around the laboratory.
The technicians then returned to their work, with sparks flying from the welding torches and indicator lights on the measuring instruments flashing incessantly.
Although these are all basic research projects, these accumulated efforts will eventually converge into the technological advantages of Sunagakure's future.
The metal door closed slowly behind us, shutting out the hum of the machinery.
The laboratory contains more than thirty specially designed refrigerated compartments.
Most of them were Konoha Ninja killed by Hoshino while escorting the Uchiha away.
Most of them were ninjas skilled in secret techniques, such as Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Nara.
Kekkei ninjas are rare, mainly the Uchiha and Hyuga.
The rest were Kekkei ninjas acquired by bounty hunters on missions.
They are mostly from Kirigakure's Kekkei, with Ice Release being the most common, totaling three.
However, what concerned him most was the Shikotsumyaku.
This is one of the very few Kekkei in the Shinobi World that are unrelated to the nature transformation of Chakra.
Shikotsumyaku is Kekkei Genkai belonging to the Kaguya Clan. Its core is the manipulation of bone growth through the transformation of Chakra.
Unlike Kekkei like Scorch Release and Explosion Release, which require the fusion of two Chakra Nature Transformation, Shikotsumyaku is closer to the pure form transformation route of Rasengan.
In other words, the Chakra execution of the Shikotsumyaku) is completely internalized within the skeletal system and is relatively independent of the meridian system.
Hoshino's fingers tapped lightly on the surface of the refrigerated compartment, the metal striking the glass with a crisp sound.
His gaze fell through the observation window onto the corpse of the Kaguya clansman.
The pale bones gleamed with a pearly luster under the cold light, and the faint outline of bone spurs visible beneath the panel seemed to tell the story of the unique nature of this Kekkei Genkai.
" Chakra is completely contained within the skeletal system..." Hoshino murmured to himself, "This means it can coexist with other Kekkei."
The thought made his heart beat slightly faster.
The previous Swift Release Puppet could use three Kekkei.
First, there's his own Swift Release; second, there's the Sharingan that was refined into a magical artifact; and third, there's the Magnet Release from the Spirit Control Beads.
In general, the original body still only has one Kekkei.
However, if the characteristics of the Shikotsumyaku could be integrated into the puppet, then the puppet would truly possess two Kekkei.
This will completely overturn the existing Puppet Technique system.
In the Shinobi World to this day, there are those who possess two Kekkei simultaneously...
Hoshino only knows Mei Terumi, and that's because it's a family trait; she probably doesn't even know how it happened herself.
Unfortunately, Mei Terumi has already grown up; it's impossible to steal her away, and it's unrealistic to try and trick her into it.
Hoshino summoned the Swift Release puppet, then put on special gloves and walked towards the control panel in the center of the laboratory.
The first sample chosen was the spiritual secrets of the Yamanaka Clan.
There is only one Shikotsumyaku, which is too precious to be taken lightly. We can only transplant it when we are confident in our abilities.
The laboratory is filled with samples of these secret ninja techniques, which are perfect for practice.
Hoshino carefully cut open the corpse's skull, revealing the grayish-white brain tissue, and had the Swift Release puppet use its Sharingan to observe the distribution of Chakra meridians in the brain.
Although he is not good at the field of biology, his years of experience in puppet making have given him a unique understanding of Chakra circuits.
Furthermore, the shared perspective of the Swift Release puppet allows him to indirectly utilize the Sharingan's perceptive abilities.
after all...
He hasn't yet made up his mind to gouge out his own eyes and replace them with Sharingan.
As time went by, the corpses of the secret ninjas became useless and were ruthlessly discarded by Hoshino.
That is, until Hoshino's gaze fell upon the corpses of the Aburame Clan ninjas.
The Aburame Clan is a secret family of Konoha, renowned for their manipulation of Kikaichū.
Unlike Kekkei Genkai, their abilities originate from the secret techniques of insect users passed down through generations.
In short, the host feeds the insect swarm with their own Chakra, and the insect swarm becomes an extension of the host's body.
Research has revealed...
The insect contains special glands that can convert the Chakra it ingests into storable energy, and partially feed it back to the host.
However, the level of the secret techniques used on this corpse was clearly not at the nanoscale level like those Aburame Torune.
Instead, they are on the micrometer scale of ordinary people, about the size of ants, relying on numbers to form a cluster advantage.
Hoshino stared at the corpse of the Aburame Clan ninja, his brows furrowed slightly.
Tiny black particles could be vaguely seen slowly wriggling beneath the body's panel.
Even after the host dies, some Kikaichū retain a minimum level of activity.
