Hiro style Genjutsu: Blank

As I woke up on this wonderful day, I was feeling eerily calm, a little cheery you might say. Tsunade was already awake staring at me, she seemed concerned. Honestly why wouldn't she be I was going to do some unsavory things today.

"Ren remember the agreement is not to kill her we take her eyes, you can punish her for the day, and then that is it."

"I know don't worry, I agreed to it right?"

"… if you really want to just let me do it. I'll handle the after math."

"No. Tsunade please don't worry death isn't the only answer and that woman is inconsequential. All that matters now is our family. It's unfortunate but we'll need her for something."

[How bad could it be, at most he'll mentally scar her for life. Right?]

"By the way did you remember to bring the storage scrolls I asked?"

"Yes I did. Why do you need them anyways?"

"You'll see later."

Saying this we walked out of our temporary home. It had at least eight guards on standby at all times. Until the time Grandma Mito's new seal was placed on us, the Hyuga refused to let us out of their compound without a full escort.

We were then led by Hikaru himself to his wife. This was funny in my eyes. To ensure I wouldn't kill his wife he would directly lead me to torture her. Ninja logic. He didn't speak at all just silently guided me and Tsunade to what seemed like a lone home surrounded by at least 12 branch family members.

Using the people she belittled and tortured to protect her? Are these guys sure they don't just want me to kill the bitch?

Seeing my odd look Tsunade said "Is something wrong?"

"No just thought more of the main family would be present."

"Who would willingly want to witness such barbarity boy."

"No one seemed to have a problem when it happened to me though?"

Hikaru could only look away, the troubled look on his face couldn't be hidden though.

"I'm surprised you're here though Mr. Hikaru. Not exactly a tender moment is it?"

"Whatever you may think of her boy, she's my woman and a mother."

"That's not my problem."

"…He's one year old. Please have some mercy."

"She'll live, stop being dramatic. It's not like I could pity a demon because it can give birth anyway."

Tsunade standing at the side had a complicated expression. She would support Ren but she had to make sure he never lost himself to hate and became the exact thing he hated. An innocent child had no need to pay for the elder generation.

They soon came to an underground sealed room. Sitting in the room strapped to a gurney was Hiyori. She had tears running down her cheek. The possible pain was nothing but losing her eyes was a loss of the status she worked so hard to acquire. To think this this would happen to her and by Hiros little bastard no less.

Closing the door behind him only Ren and Tsunade were in the room.

"Tsunade please make some barriers around the room, I don't want any Byakugan to peer at what's happening. I'll help the patient settle down."

Tsunade nodded and set up the barrier as requested. Ren on the other hand triggered a restoration save on Hiyori. Then proceeded to use his fathers Genjutsu in a manner he officially titled Hiro style Genjutsu: Blank.

Unlike his fathers introduction and integration of new memories, Ren simply chose to regress the individual to not have a single memory, and continue overwriting any future memories with a blank except this time he added a memory of him flicking her off. Straight up lobotomy.

As a mindless Hiyori laid there. Ren pulled out a storage scroll and unsealed two chairs.

"Please sit down Tsunade we have something to discuss."

"Huh? What going on Ren?"

" This is about something regarding myself I can't really explain. First let me just show you what I call Restoration."

Then using a chakra scalpel a finger was cut off. Tsunade was immediately startled and moved to reattach the finger but by the time she reacted a new finger had taken its place. She looked completely bewildered at Ren.

" Go ahead and check my body there's no missing or damaged cells. Considering your current research on Creation Rebirth you should be able to do so."

After reviewing Rens body Tsunade couldn't understand "This….how?"

" The best way I can explain it is I'm saving a copy of my physical state and reverting to that state when I want to."

" Is it a temporal ninjutsu? No… then this finger shouldn't exist…so how?"

" I did mention there's somethings I can't explain. Not because I don't want to, I simply don't know how. I can only make ten of these restoration saves, it is not limited to myself and I can use it on others. I currently am using five of my saves for our family. Grandma refused."

"Incredible." She muttered as she played with the finger. Grabbing said finger from her, I destroyed it.

Tsunade seemed heart broken she wanted to research it so badly! If looks could kill Ren would already be dead.

"Don't look so mad. Don't we have a test subject readily available? You remembered those storage scrolls right? I want the whole family to have Byakugan."

Looking at Hiyori, Tsunade had stars in her eyes, had Ren not pulled her back in time she would immediately start her… research. Ren made an additional restoration save. Then….well the amount of mutilation was quite outstanding

Tsunade had slowly made a pile of limbs to her side as she had sequentially cut apart every body part she could that wouldn't kill her to— patient.

On the side Ren had made an attempt to use item save on one of the excess limbs, it had worked. So slowly he asked Tsunade for larger and larger limbs. The principles he learned with the pencil test long ago seemed to also apply to the limbs.

Tsunade while immersed in her own research also kept an eye on Ren and noticed he would use his so called Restoration to also return his and her chakra reserves periodically. At this point she would name him a tailed beast if she didn't know he was human or that his chakra while apparently limitless was also not as powerful as a tailed beast.

Eventually they had run out of tests to run and Tsunade was more then satisfied. She more or less perfected her creation rebirth jutsu and with the strength of a hundred seal her grandma was teaching her she was confident it would work as intended. Plus with Rens Restoration she could reverse any damage done to her cells!

Coming out of her euphoria, she did have some slight guilt when she looked around the room and noticed the sheer carnage. At some point the blood had reached the roof somehow. In her bliss of having a live test subject that couldn't be harmed she had forgotten that this was a human being. What she wanted to prevent Ren from doing she ended up taking further than even he did. As she was prepared to stop, Ren stood up and grabbed another limb.

"From this point forward things might get weird, please be prepared to kill."

"What?"

Holding the limb instead of creating an item save Ren used the first Restoration save of Hiyori on the severed limb.

For the first time in his life Ren felt chakra exhaustion. The consumption was 90% of his chakra reserve. Considering he more or less was always at 95% percent this little stunt nearly killed him.

His mind was frazzled and after Tsunade transferred some chakra to him for a few minutes he was finally able to use his own restoration save.

" You… Ren what have you done?"

Laying on the floor was a nude body of Hiyori. A clone.

" So it worked… this is crazy. Is it alive?"

" Yes but it seems mindless. Did you use a Restoration save of her mindless self?"

" No I used the Restoration save of her lucid self from when we walked into the room. Let me use my fathers Genjutsu seal to see what's going on in its mind."

After performing the hand seals and triggering the jutsu I noticed there was simply nothing. This thing was indeed mindless a true blank, it was only subconsciously performing the basic needs to be considered alive. It was nothing more than a vegetable.

" Well we need to try the mindless restoration save now. Please be ready to give me some Chakra."

Another clone appeared. Also mindless.

Once more I was near collapse. After the making of the second body I immediately took some time to rest. The physical stress could be undone by loading a save, the mental stress seemed to remain though.

While I was meditating and calming my mind Tsunade was examining the two vegetables and comparing them to the original. Looking at these two nude vegetables, she was unclear how to feel. As a doctor this had gone into a realm she had no way to morally navigate. As a kunoichi though the applications of such a thing were incredible. This must never come out. She double checked her barrier seals while waiting for Ren.

"Ok, now test number two."

This time I used my fathers jutsu on one of the vegetables. Giving her a generic template of memories you would expect for an average kunoichi.

Soon it spoke.

"Where am I?"

HOLY SHIT! Tsunade and Ren looked at each other. Immediately both made a move and stabbed this thing through the head.

"Ren… what are you planning?"

"...She dies and my little brother gets an ideal mother."

Tsunade struggled to say anything for a long time. She had to admit though this seemed to be an effective solution.

"Very well Ren….I understand. I should do it though."

"No I'll do it my way, or somethings will never change."

"…..Fine."

We proceeded to destroy the excess limbs and stored the additional full corpse lying about in a scroll. Finally after cleaning up a bit we were ready to use one of the many Byakugan we collected and transfer them on to Tsunade. Ultimately we decided to just exchange Tsunades original eyes with the remaining vegetable.

Using fathers jutsu once more I transferred the originals memory and provided altered memories of what would make a good mother to the remaining vegetable without any memory of our own relation. Tsunade helped shaped the memories since of the two of us, only she knew a good mother.

"Please turn around Tsunade."

After ensuring Tsunade had turned I undid the seal on the original. Allowing her to remember all the tests performed on her.

With out letting her get her bearings, and a childish smile on my face I said

"Goodbye mother."

Standing next to me was her clone who with one swift motion of my kunai slit her throat. Soon a wide eyed corpse laid before me.

This was admittedly wildly elaborate and long. Please let me know if the length is too much.
