Chapter 192: Hyuga Hinata's One-Step Ascension to Heaven
"Oh, truly thank you so much."
Hyuga Hishi hastily stepped forward, tightly grasping Yakushi Kabuto's hand, expressing the Hyuga clan's gratitude with profuse thanks.
"Lord Hishi is truly too polite."
Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses with his hand, smiling:
"The Hyuga clan is originally an important village member. Being able to serve the Hyuga clan is already my honor."
"Please don't speak such polite words to me. Everything is for the village!"
"Right, right! Everything for the village!"
Hyuga Hishi beamed with joy, having great fondness for this sensible special jonin.
The village had specialized intelligence gathering on every jonin, so he actually quite understood this village's newly promoted special jonin.
This special jonin came from civilian origins, growing up in an orphanage. Besides medical jutsu expertise, he was mediocre in all other aspects.
If in peacetime, this Yakushi Kabuto would probably remain a genin his entire life. But who knew war would erupt? The village threw everyone capable of fighting onto battlefields. Great waves wash away sand—those surviving naturally rose rapidly.
This Yakushi Kabuto had good fortune, narrowly escaping death on every mission. Though completing few tasks, by surviving long, he ultimately accumulated merit to become a special jonin.
"Then does Special Jonin Yakushi Kabuto feel—how long will Lady Hinata's 'awakening' last?"
"After awakening, does that represent a successful transformed Tenseigan?"
"Additionally, if this Tenseigan is transplanted to others, will rejection reactions occur?"
"Transplant to others?" Yakushi Kabuto paused, exchanging glances with his assistant behind him before saying hesitantly: "Whether rejection reactions will occur probably requires further testing to determine clearly. I currently cannot answer your question."
"However, regarding the awakening problem—that's simple."
"With sufficient nutrient supply, the awakening period is only two to three days to complete Byakugan's transformation."
"After transformation, it will mostly be the Tenseigan the Hyuga clan mentioned."
"I see." Hishi turned around, walking aside with numerous elders behind him to quietly discuss for a while. Finally he returned smiling, solemnly bowing to Yakushi Kabuto:
"Then these days I'll trouble Special Jonin Yakushi Kabuto to take more care."
"After successful Tenseigan transformation, please also help me do compatibility testing with these eyes to see whether transplantation is possible."
"Alas, it's not that I covet these eyes. Mainly Lady Hinata's age is still too young, her temperament quite gentle—truly unsuitable as a shinobi entering battlefields."
"No help for it—only I, an adult, can shoulder worries for the family, bearing this heavy responsibility."
"After Lady Hinata grows to adulthood, I'll return these eyes to her. Definitely won't break my word."
"I understand." Yakushi Kabuto hastily lowered his head returning the bow, politely saying: "Elder Hishi's spirit of courage and responsibility is truly admirable."
"Please rest assured—I'll definitely complete compatibility work well."
"However, this will probably require many precious medicinal materials to prepare medicine..."
Before Yakushi Kabuto finished, Hyuga Hishi immediately patted his chest guaranteeing:
"Special Jonin Yakushi Kabuto, please rest assured. Whatever medicinal materials you need, just list them. I'll have people prepare everything. Definitely won't impact your medicine preparation."
"Is that so? That's wonderful. Thank you for Elder Hishi's strong support."
Yakushi Kabuto smiled while pushing his glasses again. Under the lamplight, a gleam flashed across the lenses, hiding his eyes' expression behind the glasses.
After carefully examining Hinata's condition again, Hyuga Hishi led everyone away with great satisfaction.
After exiting through the main gate, Hyuga Hishi's expression turned serious as he commanded:
"Others can have problems, but Lady Hinata's safety absolutely cannot have problems."
"Have all Main House members not leave at night. Temporarily set aside the nightly disappearances problem. First deploy several groups here, guarding twenty-four hours."
"Before the Tenseigan transformation completes, absolutely no accidents are permitted here."
"Yes, we understand." The guards behind him respectfully agreed, immediately going to relay orders.
With the most capable personnel reassigned, internal clan ground defenses naturally loosened again. Naturally Neji's group found things increasingly easy.
From initially one squad of three people missing nightly, it quickly escalated to two squads of six people missing per night.
Under their targeted strikes, increasingly more people in patrol squads now belonged to their own "Revive "members.
However, this day things suddenly changed.
Violent chakra fluctuations erupted from within the Hyuga clan head residence.
The entire village's alarm bells rang again. A group of shinobi anxiously charged over.
Neji was also alarmed, hastily rushing over.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, first golden light erupted from the room, shooting straight skyward, scattering the clouds above in one sweep.
Immediately following, a small figure slowly rose from the room, entire body draped in green chakra cloak. The chakra fluctuations from her body were simply as terrifying as a Tailed Beast.
"Hyuga Hinata?"
The remaining Nara Shikaku immediately recognized this little girl's identity, couldn't help being greatly shocked.
But immediately he also greatly rejoiced. He hastily landed in the courtyard. His gaze swept across, finding the Hyuga clan's current true decision-maker.
"Senior Hishi, looking at Miss Hinata's appearance—you succeeded?"
"Haha..." Hyuga Hishi smiled until his eyes disappeared. "Thanks to Lord Hokage's blessing, everything went smoothly! The Tenseigan transformation succeeded!"
"This is truly wonderful!" Nara Shikaku also showed joy. "Currently the village is in its weakest state. Having one more powerful force really helps tremendously."
"Must also thank the village-provided medical shinobi. Otherwise probably wouldn't have been so easy." Hyuga Hiashi exchanged pleasantries.
"This is what the village should do."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they returned to the key issue.
Exactly how strong was this Tenseigan? Could it match the price the Hyuga clan paid?
Hyuga Hishi beckoned toward Hinata. Hinata obediently descended from the sky.
Hyuga Hishi affectionately pulled Hinata's hand, smiling:
"Young lady, let's go to the rear mountain to find a place to carefully experiment and see exactly what abilities this Tenseigan possesses."
