Chapter 131: Transparent Release! (Seeking subscriptions, guaranteed monthly votes)
After leaving the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Asuma went straight home.
He still needed to inform the old man about the Jonin special training class, and the Sarutobi Clan also needed some explanation.
Even if they opposed it, he would still proceed; no one could stop him.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't shocked by this. After a moment of thought, he nodded and said, "Since you've decided, then go ahead with it!"
"Yes, Father."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded, then asked, "Father, how is the development of your Kekkei Genkai coming along?"
"Electromagnetic Release is too difficult, but Scorch Release might be possible," Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Scorch Release would be good too!
He quickly took the initiative to analyze and explain it to his father.
Filial piety and paternal love – it couldn't be more fitting.
Meanwhile.
A Shadow Clone went to meet the Sarutobi Clan elder, Sarutobi Tamayura.
Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm demeanor, Sarutobi Tamayura was so startled after hearing Sarutobi Asuma's plan that cold sweat broke out: "Asuma, this plan is absolutely not allowed!"
"How can such a top-secret thing as a Kekkei Genkai be taught to outsiders?"
Sarutobi Asuma smiled and said, "Elder, compared to the Kekkei Genkai, everyone other than my descendants can actually be considered an outsider!"
Sarutobi Tamayura's expression froze upon hearing this.
Kekkei Genkai are inherited through blood ties.
Only his descendants could inherit Sarutobi Asuma's Kekkei Genkai.
Anyone other than his descendants could be called an "outsider"!
Sarutobi Asuma's willingness to share his experience in developing Kekkei Genkai, giving it freely to the Sarutobi Clan, might have given most members of the clan a false impression.
This thing belongs to the Sarutobi Clan!
"Elder, Father has already agreed," Sarutobi Asuma said with a gentle smile. "I've come this time to inform you, not to seek your opinion."
It was a notification, not a request for opinions!
Sarutobi Tamayura felt a bit awkward and had nothing more to say.
After Sarutobi Asuma left, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Asuma not only had more astonishing talent but also a more assertive personality!
Sarutobi Asuma would undoubtedly be the future leader of the Sarutobi Clan, though it was uncertain whether that would be good or bad for the clan.
Regardless of good or bad, it seemed they could only accept it.
They couldn't possibly betray the clan like the Uchiha betrayed Uchiha Madara back then, could they?
Sarutobi Tamayura's thoughts drifted, filled with worry and anxiousness, unaware that Sarutobi Asuma had no intention of leading the Sarutobi Clan at all.
He found such trivial matters extremely bothersome.
In his future plans, regardless of whether he became Hokage, the Sarutobi Clan would be managed by his elder brother, Sarutobi Shinya.
If he became Hokage, the Anbu would also be handed over to his elder brother, Sarutobi Shinya.
Then, with a few secretaries and Nara Shikaku assisting, all the daily complex affairs could be handled by others. Life would be wonderful.
For Sarutobi Asuma, the position of Hokage was merely a stepping stone to acquiring Attribute Points and Skill Points.
Returning to the Senju Ancestral Home, a Shadow Clone that had been left there to train said, "Sister Tsunade wants you to go to the Konoha Hospital."
Sarutobi Asuma blinked. "Huh? Didn't we leave a Shadow Clone at the Konoha Hospital?"
The Shadow Clone spread its hands.
"Alright!"
Sarutobi Asuma immediately sensed his surroundings, located the Shadow Clone at the Konoha Hospital, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the hospital room.
Sarutobi Asuma's main body appeared next to the Shadow Clone.
Tsunade looked up at Sarutobi Asuma, tilting her chin slightly. "It's this child!"
"A member of the Moonlight Clan, who awakened a Kekkei Genkai, but suffers from a Bloodline Disease."
Sarutobi Asuma looked at the pale, weak, and unconscious youth on the sickbed, who appeared to be around 10 years old.
Gekko Hayate!
Sarutobi Asuma had enrolled in the academy the same year he graduated. Hayate was over three years older, so they were somewhat contemporaries.
After dissolving the Shadow Clones around him and receiving the memory feedback, Sarutobi Asuma immediately understood the general situation.
Transparent Release!
It could eliminate all of one's presence and make the body transparent, even chakra wouldn't be detected.
A very powerful Kekkei Genkai.
This meant that most sensory abilities would become ineffective.
For example, chakra sensing, olfactory sensing, and visual sensing.
Among various sensory methods, only tactile sensing would remain effective.
However, the existence of the Bloodline Disease meant that Transparent Release had a significant flaw. Otherwise, Gekko Hayate wouldn't have been killed by Baki later on.
"The root cause of the Bloodline Disease hasn't been found yet, but the current speculation is that the Kekkei Genkai itself is not fully complete and has defects, leading to genetic flaws," Tsunade explained.
Kekkei Genkai were already rare, and Bloodline Diseases were even rarer. No one had conducted extensive research on them.
"Currently, his surface symptoms involve lung problems, which are causing respiratory issues, leading to insufficient oxygen supply and triggering a series of problems," Tsunade said.
Sarutobi Asuma nodded and directly asked, "Tsunade-neechan, so are you suggesting we give him a lung transplant?"
Tsunade nodded. "We can't find any other good solutions at the moment, so we can only treat the lung problem first."
"As you can see, both of his lungs have already fibrosed. If this continues, he won't live to be 15."
Sarutobi Asuma had already activated his Electromagnetic Eye, a purple light blooming from his pupils, allowing him to see through Gekko Hayate's body at the fibrosing lungs. Normally, this was an irreversible process.
He continued to observe with his Electromagnetic Eye, down to the cellular level.
A moment later, Sarutobi Asuma said, "Hayate's lungs have been continuously damaged. The body's natural repair functions are activated, with collagen being secreted in large amounts for repair. However, due to the continuous damage, the repair function is also continuously active, leading to excessive repair and causing excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and a large accumulation of extracellular matrix. This is what leads to lung fibrosis."
Tsunade listened, resting her chin on her fingers. "In that case, by intervening in the proliferation of fibroblasts and the accumulation of the extracellular matrix, we can prevent lung fibrosis."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded. "You're the expert on this, Tsunade-neechan."
"However, this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause."
"With this continuous damage, the body's repair speed still can't keep up with the damage speed, and it will still lead to a weakened body."
"Digging deeper, it's his own immune system that has a problem, and the root cause is still the Kekkei Genkai itself."
Tsunade nodded, her brow furrowed. "For now, we can only solve the lung problem. There's too little research on Kekkei Genkai, let alone Bloodline Diseases."
While continuing to observe Gekko Hayate's internal condition, Sarutobi Asuma pondered, "For Bloodline Diseases caused by Kekkei Genkai, it seems to be either a defect in the Kekkei Genkai itself."
"Or the body itself cannot withstand the power of this Kekkei Genkai, causing continuous damage."
Tsunade mused, "If that's the case, then we'll first cure his lung fibrosis, then inhibit the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts, and then, based on the usage of his Kekkei Genkai, we can determine which situation it is."
"However, whichever situation you're referring to, it's probably difficult to solve, isn't it?"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes returned to normal. "If it's a defect in the Kekkei Genkai itself, it's actually easier to handle."
"If he himself cannot adapt to the power of the Kekkei Genkai, that would be the most troublesome."
"In his current condition, how can he improve his Constitution?"
Tsunade's brows furrowed deeply.
Gekko Hayate was so weak that if he tried to train and improve his Constitution, it would likely not increase as fast as his Kekkei Genkai power.
This inherited power was not like the Kekkei Genkai Sarutobi Asuma had developed himself; he couldn't control it freely.
Power inherited from birth was often harder to master, and it could go berserk subconsciously.
Looking at Tsunade, Sarutobi Asuma smiled. "We can think about it after further observation. For now, let's solve the most superficial problem."
"However, there's no need for a lung transplant. My Electromagnetic Eye can directly kill cells, so there's no need to open his chest."
"As for inhibiting the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts, I'll need you to figure out another way, Tsunade-neechan."
