Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

As soon as we entered the laboratory, the air was a little fresher.

The air in the passage smelled damp and musty.

The ventilation equipment in the laboratory should be better. You can even smell the aroma of grass in the jungle. I just don’t know if there are corresponding preventive measures in case someone poisons the ventilation area...

Well, he didn't need to worry about that.

If Danzo couldn't even do this, he could have committed seppuku.

What's important is what's in the laboratory. From now on, this will be Hinata Kumikawa's work...

There were glass jars filled with light green liquid, and in each jar there was a naked child. The older one was no more than four years old, and the younger...the younger one was a baby.

Hinata Kumokawa quickly counted 21 jars.

But there were only twenty children in total.

The last tank has a slightly different shape and does not share the same main supply pipe as the other tanks. It is slightly larger than the other tanks and is covered by a curtain.

This time Hinata Kumokawa did not open her eyes to see through perspective...

If he could know, Orochimaru would definitely tell him.

"Your current job is to help me keep an eye on these experimental subjects. If they have symptoms such as twitching and trembling, be sure to tell me. As for the rest, we will take our time..."

Orochimaru took the neatly folded white coat, handed it to Hinata Kumikawa, and then asked again.

"By the way, don't you think what I did is a bit cruel?"

"A bit."

"Seeing such an experimental site, don't you doubt the will of fire given to you by the school?"

Orochimaru's expression was slightly amused.

Hinata Kumokawa and Orochimaru looked at each other, took off the scrolls from their backs and placed them on a stool aside, then put on their ill-fitting white coats.

“Both justice and peace come at a price.”

"Haha... do you know who is in that jar?"

Orochimaru laughed twice, walked towards the glass jar covered with a curtain, raised his hand and opened the curtain, revealing a familiar face.

Hinata Kumokawa put the scroll on his back, walked in and stared at the man in the solution for a while, searching in his mind for people he had seen recently, but he couldn't find it...

Eh?Who is this guy?

It seems familiar, but I can't recall it at all.

"I seem to have seen..."

This answer made Orochimaru slightly stunned. He lowered his head and looked at Hinata Kumikawa again to confirm that the child had a serious look on his face and was not joking. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"...He is the ice escape ninja."

"I remembered, teacher."

"..."

……

Orochimaru emptied the liquid in one of the glass jars, opened the cover, lifted a three- or four-year-old boy off the table, and placed him on the operating table.

A large area of ​​his body has become "albino", indicating that Hashirama's cells have completely eroded his body.

Judging from the child's twitching movements from time to time, he was definitely not having an easy life. After being separated from the nutrient solution, his breathing and heartbeat had begun to become weak. Orochimaru picked up the pillow and injected a tube of dark green translucent liquid into the child's body, and then he breathed. Slightly smoother.

"He is the best-adapted experimental subject at present, but he is also close to the limit. I need you to clear the blocked chakra circuits in his body and let the chakra flow. This should be able to resist the rejection reaction caused by some cell erosion."

Orochimaru calmly wiped the mucus off his hands and handed the experimental subject to Hinata Kumikawa.

He didn't care about the life and death of this experimental subject at all. It was just a mediocre consumable. He just wanted to use this experimental subject that was about to fail to test Hinata Kumikawa's ability and confirm some conjectures that were originally impossible to experiment with.

Hinata Kumikawa naturally obeyed Orochimaru's orders.

Open the Byakugan, showing the veins of the subject's body before your eyes.

It stands to reason that chakra does not exist in the body of ordinary people. A boy like the boy in front of him who may have been in the jar since he became conscious cannot have chakra at all, let alone a chakra circuit.

At most, there is some "physical strength" - a semi-finished product of chakra, energy that is initially synthesized from mental energy and physical energy but has not been processed... This is how Xiao Li got into the Twelve Little Strong.

But the boy in front of him had a very strange chakra circuit in his body, and he slowly replenished new chakra stored in the whirlpool circuit in his abdomen in a very awkward manner.

If you only look at the size, Hinata Kumokawa said that the boy in front of him is equal to about 4.5 of himself.

It is indeed the all-purpose golden finger - the cells of Senju Hashirama.

However, this chakra circuit is definitely abnormal. He is like a weirdo with acupuncture displacement, and only the "albino" position has a chakra circuit, and the other positions do not.

So, there are some dead ends in chakra circuits.

There is also this act of constantly extracting chakra. Because energy is absorbed from the flesh around the veins, the boy's internal organs are basically not eroded by Hashirama cells, so most of the internal organs are in a state of overload.

If it weren't for the nutrient solution, he would probably not survive more than three days.

Even if he is suspended with nutrient solution, his organs are still exhausted. Visually, the longest life expectancy is... he will be suspended for a month.

Moreover, organ failure is not the most serious problem in his body...

Although there is some physical discomfort, work still has to be done.

What if he can be saved?

If you want the chakra circuit to return to normal and for the chakra to be fed back to the body, you need to complete the circuit structure. It may only be possible... Hinata Kumikawa guessed.

Chakra condensed on the fingertips and pressed on one of the acupuncture points.

This is the first time for Hinata Kumikawa to help others clear their veins. Although he has come across some methods of using soft fists to heal wounds before, he has never had the opportunity to practice it...

Because the boy's body cannot be damaged, the output of chakra must be strictly controlled, and it must be ensured that the chakra can still be controlled after it leaves the body.

Therefore, just by connecting an acupuncture point to a dead end, Hinata Kumikawa's back was already soaked with sweat.

"Whoo~"

Hinata Kumokawa withdrew his slightly trembling hand.

He raised his head and met Orochimaru's approving gaze.

"...It's really interesting~"

Hinata Yunchuan looked at the corners of his upturned mouth, fearing that he would suddenly stretch his neck and make a weird "Jie Jie" smile.

But it is impossible to let him continue...

With his eyes open, he was undergoing "minimally invasive" surgery, his chakra and spirit were exhausted, and he had begun to have a dull headache.

"Teacher, I've reached my limit."

"Go and rest~"

"……Yes."

Hinata Kumokawa glanced at the boy on the experimental table, and originally wanted to ask him about his situation...but hesitated and did not speak.

I already know it in my heart, so why bother.

It will also leave Orochimaru with a "soft-hearted" image of Hinata Kumikawa, which will not be beneficial to future relationships and will also affect his own personality.

In this miserable world, it’s better not to care too much about other people’s lives and deaths…

Because I don't care at all.
