Eye substitution

Having finished with this, he pressed on the eye socket, pressed the eye a little forward, after which, carefully removing the eyeball by a few centimeters, cut off the last leteral rectus muscle holding the eye.

After glancing at the byakugan in his bloody hand for a moment, the scientist quickly opened a flask filled with only a nutritious liquid and put eye into it.

Immediately after that, he moved on to the second byakugan, which after a while also ended up in the nutrient fluid. After closing the flask with the byakugan he had just taken out, Samato opened another one, which contained ordinary eyes.

Taking one of the eyeballs, the scientist placed it in a bloody eye socket and folded the seals into a mystical palm. After using a fairly significant amount of slightly recovered chakra, he partially implanted the eye in a few minutes and only a little, for visibility, was able to connect the chakra channels of the eye and the corpse. Without stopping to catch his breath, Samato immediately started on the second eye.

After completing the implantation of the second eye, in a little more time than the first, Samato took a test tube and filled it with Kuzu's blood, closed the lid. Putting the tube of blood aside, he took the second tube and moving closer to the wound left on his side, the scientist cut off a small piece of flesh. Putting it in an empty test tube, Samato began to clean up.

Taking a piece of cloth, he wiped the blood from Kuzu's face and sealed all the instruments and test tubes in a large scroll. Having done all these actions, Samato wearily froze in place, his face was covered with drops of sweat, and the amount of chakra almost reached the bottom.

After catching his breath for a couple of minutes, he sighed and closed his eyes for a while, began to restore the chakra. When the chakras recovered a little, Samato opened his eyes, took a small sealing scroll from his hip and printed out a writing brush and ink from it.

"The last one remains."

Comfortably sitting cross-legged on the soft grass, Samato put Kuzu's head on his shins, fixing. Taking the brush in his hand and taking a couple of deep breaths, he calmed down. Confidently squeezing the brush in his hand, Samato directed the chakra into it, then dipped it in ink.

Putting the tip of the brush to his forehead, he began to draw small symbols that formed a pattern in a strange way. When a small part of the seal was finished, Samato stopped.

Exhaling, deactivating the byakugan, he wiped the sweat that had formed. Putting the writing instrument aside, the scientist closed his eyes again, trying to restore the chakra. Interrupting in silence, Samato felt a cool breeze stirring his hair, and the chakra in his body was slowly recovering.

Suddenly, interrupting his inner calm, Samato felt byakugan's vision touch him. Abruptly opening his eyes, together with the activation of his eyes, he looked at the culprit, simultaneously worrying that this someone would not find that in the closed eyes of Kuzu, instead of dojutsu, there are ordinary eyes.

When Samato saw who the one who made him worry, he relaxed a little, realizing that most likely this person will not be able to recognize the absence of byakugan. The culprit himself, seeing the abrupt actions of Samato, immediately stopped his observational actions and turned to the man sitting next to him, said something with an uncertain face.

The man, in turn, after listening to the boy, stood up and bowed slightly. Samato himself, watching this, finally calmed down and thought to himself.

"Apparently I'm staying too long and Hiko asked Satoshi to take a look. Hmm, well, quite resourceful, as a member of a side branch, he does not have the right to observe the secrets of the clan, but Satoshi, as the heir of the elder, is largely unencumbered by them. Need to hurry up with the imposition of the seal."

Picking up the brush again, Samato continued writing symbols. Soon there was practically no clean skin left on the forehead of the corpse. Everything was covered with various symbols. Samato, on the other hand, again tiredly put the brush aside in order to rest and accumulate chakras for the last action.

...

Sitting by the fire, Satoshi looked at the dancing flames in front of him in confusion. For him, death was something distant and impossible. He is a member of the main branch whose protection has been secured.

But the tragedy that happened before his eyes, put an indelible consequence, a crack in understanding. He, too, could have died in this collision, just like Kuzu, like those dozens of bandits blown up by Samato.

On the other hand, all these waves of thoughts about possible death, gave off a strange contempt. Especially when Satoshi saw how Samato reacted to this situation.

He couldn't understand how his teammate, unlike him, could keep his sanity and even try to help. This whirlpool of thoughts raced through the boy's head, not giving him peace and plunging him deeper into the darkness of his ignorance.

- Satoshi, what happened is tragic, but you have to get through it. Our world does not forgive mistakes and now you have seen it with your own eyes.

Hearing the calm voice, Satoshi looked in front of him. He saw Hiko, whose byakugan was activated, but the boy felt that he was being watched closely. Without answering anything, Samato lowered his head back to the flame. After sitting for a minute, the words came to his ears again.

- Once a man told me that life is a process of learning new things and the main thing is not to limit yourself. Although I disagree with him on the latter, but at that time, this statement helped me a lot.

Raising his head again, Satoshi, still thinking, asked uncomprehendingly.

- And what can I learn from Kuzu's death?

Sighing, the man sitting in front of him lowered his head a little, but the answer still came out of his mouth.

- No matter how cruel and humiliating it was for me, you found out that you were not protected and could die. You also learned that underestimating the enemy can beplay with you, and contempt for your comrades can put both them and your life in danger.

Lowering his head again, the boy was lost in thought about what he had just learned. Hiko on the other hand sighed again with sadness, thinking about the loss of his ward and the unfavorable condition of the boy in front of him.

At the same time, he was closely watching the two who had not fulfilled their duties as a side branch and completely ignored the place where Samato was. Hiko understood that among the three, the heir of the elder of medicine is the most difficult.

For the most part, he even had thoughts that there was something else in this whole death situation, but Captain Hugh was afraid to think about it. By the way the boy, without a twinge of conscience, killed so many people and tried with all his might to push the leader of the bandits to the edge, leaving Kuzu to be torn to pieces.

"Perhaps Ame-san had previously given me secret warnings that the head and the elders had started the process of fighting again. Yes, and this is a clear warning that it is not easy for me to protect his nephew with all my might… On the way to the clan, you will need to think about it, now the main thing is to wait for reinforcements. Judging by the time since the message was sent, they should arrive in a few hours… Why is Samato taking so long? I think I'll ask Satoshi to take a look."
