Chapter 114

Just as the Uchiha internal and security departments were 'painfully' learning and integrating, Kaito, Shisui, and Fugaku arrived at their newly established laboratory.

This lab, being newly established, didn't seem large, but that wasn't the crucial point. The key was that the internal environment and structure of the lab were very satisfactory.

The bright lighting and excellent ventilation system gave a good impression of the lab at first glance.

Furthermore, Kaito noticed that the lab had been reinforced, which could prevent it from collapsing to some extent due to battles overhead — after all, the lab was built underground.

In combination with various neatly arranged machines inside, the lab really gave Kaito a good overall impression, exuding some of the ambiance a lab should have.

Inside the lab, the young people who had just undergone a week of medical ninja training were looking at various instruments, seemingly a little flustered.

Meanwhile, Fugaku and Shisui lay on the experimental bed, their bodies covered in various monitoring equipment. Kaito stood quietly on the side, watching.

Clearly, both were in the midst of experimentation, and Kaito seemed slightly nervous.

He still remembered when these two came to him a few days ago expressing their wishes.

...

"Isn't this a bit rushed?"

Kaito felt a headache looking at Shisui and Fugaku before him, because Uchiha Fugaku stated he wanted to start the experiments right away.

"Our personnel training has just been underway for about a month. Training a medical ninja is not a simple matter. Can they handle our tasks?"

Training a medical ninja indeed isn't a straightforward task. Even though Kaito was very clear that implanting the white cell certainly would be useful for the Mangekyō Sharingan, the experiment didn't require much.

And based on the results of Tsunade using the Hashirama cells, having the Sharingan as a suppressor indeed could prevent certain things from happening.

However, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Ensuring the safety of the experiment was absolutely necessary. After all, not everyone is Obito Uchiha or Madara Uchiha.

If something undesirable happened, Kaito wasn't sure if the individuals, who had only undergone basic medical ninja training, could manage and handle it promptly.

"There indeed is some risk, but I believe if that guy can do it, we should be able to as well."

Uchiha Fugaku took over the conversation at this point, looking seriously at Kaito and Shisui as he spoke.

"Clan leader, let me be the first to undergo the experiment. My experimental data can also bring more inspiration to the clan.

For the development of the clan, I believe I can bear it.

Of course, I am not reckless. I have a wife and children to take care of.

We can proceed with the experiment gradually. Although our medical staff are not yet fully trained, they can still handle simple monitoring of experimental data and observe my physical reactions.

Clan leader, deputy clan leader, I beg of you!"

Uchiha Fugaku's attitude was very sincere, and his words moved both Kaito and Shisui.

To participate in the experiment oneself, it requires more than just courage. Right now, Uchiha Fugaku is truly playing with his life.

For some reason, Kaito suddenly felt that this guy resembled Uchiha Izumi somewhat. His behavior seemed like he was atoning for something.

Kaito was genuinely puzzled by their thought process. However, upon closer consideration, their choices were indeed very similar to what he had imagined.

It was just that Kaito was somewhat more conservative. He preferred to carry out everything under safer circumstances.

But then again, the amount of time needed to train a medical ninja was quite long, and this was something Kaito wasn't sure he could accept.

Although the Uchiha had stabilized, it was only temporary. A more substantial enhancement of the Uchiha clan's power was absolutely necessary.

Especially with an increase in power, Kaito's points would also increase. This would be a perfect reinforcement for him.

Before Kaito had a chance to speak, Shisui started talking.

"Clan leader, I am willing to join elder Fugaku.

Experiments require data, and elder Fugaku alone might not suffice.

With two sets of data to compare, I think the result would be better."

Looking at these two before him, Kaito was momentarily at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but after considering it, he finally agreed.

In fact, for such transplants, especially small-scale ones, he did have some confidence.

The power of the Six Paths is constructed through the combination of the powers of Indra and Ashura, or more bluntly, the product of the ultimate Yin Release and Yang Release intersecting.

Of course, the power of Sage Art probably should also be counted, as this is Uchiha Madara's evolution path!

Kaito believed that Madara could withstand this power not only because he was the reincarnation of Indra, but also for another very important reason.

That is because he possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!

As a product of Yin Release, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan naturally complements and balances the Yang Release of Ashura's power.

Although both Shisui and Fugaku only had the Mangekyō Sharingan, the bodies of White Zetsu were also adjusted by Black Zetsu.

Perhaps this is why Obito was able to use it even before he activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

By the same logic, Tsunade was able to suppress the cells of Hashirama Senju with the Sharingan. Otherwise, he would have turned into a 'Shimura tree-man' a long time ago.

And Kaito believed that without the Uchiha bloodline, he also relied on the cells of Hashirama Senju to use the Sharingan, in order to complete the Izanagi technique.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

...

"How is the situation?"

After waiting for quite a while, Kaito finally asked, looking at the two lying on the experimental bed.

The pair did not look in the best of conditions. While their expressions remained calm, their bodies were slightly reddened.

Sweat kept rolling down their foreheads, making them appear as if they were running a fever.

This state of affairs caused Kaito some concern. Could it be that he had miscalculated, leading to failure this time?

Although failure is the mother of success, Kaito did not wish for this kind of maternal love to show up.

"Clan... clan leader, according to the data, there are some reactions in their bodies.

However, due to the low dosage injected, the reaction could only be considered mild, and their bodies are slowly adapting."

The one answering Kaito was a young Uchiha clan member who had performed quite well in learning medical ninjutsu recently.

Moreover, his background was clean; his father was even a veteran member of the security department, which was why he was chosen to be here.

Actually, the situation of everyone who entered here was similar. The people Kaito and his team chose were naturally those they could trust.

This group was the first batch. Naturally, there would be a second and a third batch to follow. The number of talents that Kaito needed would definitely not be small.

Hearing his words, Kaito nodded slightly. In truth, his understanding of these matters wasn't extensive.

In his past life, he was a liberal arts student, and the reason he chose liberal arts was mainly because his abilities in math and physics were too weak.

Unlike Uchiha Madara, Fugaku and Shisui didn't directly stuff something into their bodies and stitch it up.

They had cut off a small portion of Obito's arm, then through special methods of dissolution and refinement, they finally obtained two small vials of liquid for injection.

This procedure was also to ensure safety. However, the current situation wasn't very good.

"Slowly adapting, huh?"

Kaito looked seriously at the young Uchiha clan member. Though strictly speaking, he was older than this man, he was ultimately the clan leader.

"Yes, clan leader. According to the data, that's the case."

Facing Kaito's query, the young Uchiha lowered his head and answered honestly. Facing Kaito, he could still feel enormous pressure.

"The substance just injected is very special, it seems to be completely opposite to the power of elder Fugaku and Shisui.

However, this power seems to be able to adapt to their bodies and has now become balanced.

But since it's the first injection, their bodies might not have fully adapted yet."

"Is that so?" Kaito looked at all this with a furrowed brow. Then, he simply waved his hand and said, "You all go out first, I'll call you back in a bit."

"Yes, clan leader!" All the medical ninjas in the laboratory immediately responded upon hearing this.

Although they felt this didn't quite follow protocol, they would not refuse the clan leader's orders.

Shortly, the lab was emptied as the group of medical ninjas moved to the next room to wait.

At this moment, Kaito activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. Though the Sharingan couldn't achieve the same penetrative effect as the Byakugan, it could still observe chakra.

In an instant, he clearly saw that both Shisui and Fugaku had two streams of chakra colliding within their bodies.

Their current adverse reactions were likely due to these conflicting chakras, after all, these two streams of chakra truly had a 'mortal enemy' type of relationship.

However, these two chakras were temporarily at a standstill, and the power of the Uchiha seemed to completely suppress the other side.

Was it because too little was injected?

Kaito silently pondered, but he noticed that the injected power seemed to have integrated into their bodies.

Even though it was retreating bit by bit, it was not completely dispersed, and the power had not disappeared entirely.

"How do you feel?"

After observing for a while, Kaito finally asked.

"Although based on my observations and the data they provided, the situation does not seem to be too bad.

However, as a ninja, I believe I still need to ask about your feelings, your personal sensations."

"Actually, aside from the initial discomfort, I could clearly feel something alien within my body, a power that is extremely rejecting..."

Fugaku raised his head and thought for a moment before speaking. It appeared that there were indeed no significant issues with him.

"The rest is actually okay, and now the power does not seem as intense. So, my body is still not particularly adapted.

But I can feel this power staying in my body. Perhaps everything will get better once my body slowly adapts."

"My situation is similar to elder Fugaku, and I also felt something else."

Shisui also spoke from the side. Perhaps due to his youth, he looked better than Fugaku, and his insights were more profound.

"I can feel that these powers seem to be nourishing my body in return, especially my eyes, which seem to have changed."

Changed?

Hearing Shisui's words, Kaito involuntarily looked at his eyes.

Strangely enough, Kaito could indeed see a minute, almost unnoticeable, chakra-like power slowly surging into his eyes.

Seeing this, Kaito was immediately relieved, for he knew that this experiment had not been embraced by the mother of failure...
