Chapter 132: Speculation on the Bloodline Disease! Requesting all for the third update!!
With the treatment plan decided, Tsunade immediately put it into action.
Treating the surface of the lungs was not difficult with Sarutobi Asuma and Tsunade working together.
Sarutobi Asuma was responsible for using his Electromagnetic Eye to directly and non-invasively eliminate the diseased cells in Gekko Hayate's lungs. Tsunade, along with several other medical ninja, worked to suppress and repair his lungs. The surgery was completed in just 15 minutes.
Gekko Hayate's lungs were completely renewed.
However, from the moment the surgery ended, Sarutobi Asuma felt that Gekko Hayate's refreshed lungs had begun to sustain damage again.
Asuma had basically concluded that the damage was caused by the power of his Kekkei Genkai.
"If he doesn't actively use the power of his Kekkei Genkai, the damage isn't too rapid. For now, only his lungs are affected, but if he frequently uses his Kekkei Genkai, the rate of damage will definitely increase significantly, and it might spread to other organs."
Outside the hospital room, Sarutobi Asuma relayed his observations and deductions to Gekko Hayate's parents.
Both of them were ninja. Gekko Hayate's father, Gekko Shinichi, was a Special Jonin of Konoha, and his mother was a Chunin.
The Gekko Clan was also a ninja clan in Konoha, skilled in Konoha-style swordsmanship and Genjutsu.
Gekko Shinichi's expression changed upon hearing this, and his gaze dimmed.
It had been generations since anyone in the Gekko Clan had awakened their Kekkei Genkai. It was fortunate that Gekko Hayate had awakened it in this generation, but he had unexpectedly contracted a Bloodline Disease.
With Transparent Release, Gekko Hayate's current abilities were so profound that even the Third Hokage couldn't detect them!
Gekko Hayate's mother, Gekko Kotone, didn't dwell on this and quickly asked, "Are even Lady Tsunade and Asuma-san unable to treat it?"
Currently, Tsunade and Sarutobi Asuma were recognized as the strongest medical ninja.
Tsunade had established her status during the Second Great Ninja War, while Sarutobi Asuma had solidified his position as a medical ninja during this war.
The number of Konoha ninja who had been healed by Sarutobi Asuma, whether on the battlefield or in the Konoha Hospital, was too many to count!
Tsunade looked at Gekko Kotone, whose eyes were blurred with tears, and said solemnly, "At least for now, there is no way to completely cure it."
"Try to prevent that child from using the power of his Kekkei Genkai as much as possible."
"Or perhaps..."
Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Asuma and asked, "Is it possible to seal his Kekkei Genkai power?"
Although she was also skilled in Fūinjutsu, her abilities did not match Sarutobi Asuma's at this time.
"It's certainly possible to seal it, but then he wouldn't be able to become a ninja and would have to live as an ordinary person."
Sarutobi Asuma looked at the disappointed Gekko Shinichi and explained, "Chakra is formed by the combination of spiritual and physical energy. A person's consciousness is divided into the subconscious and the conscious."
"The activity of most of our organs and cells is controlled by the subconscious."
"As ninja, we can choose not to actively use our Kekkei Genkai, but in reality, the power of the Kekkei Genkai is still controlled by a person's subconscious."
"Therefore, even if he doesn't actively use Transparent Release, the power of his Kekkei Genkai will still continuously erode Hayate's body, albeit very, very slowly."
"I understand!"
Gekko Shinichi nodded, then bowed to Sarutobi Asuma and Tsunade, "Thank you both!"
...
Leaving the hospital room, Tsunade said, "If we transplant White Zetsu cells, I wonder if it would be able to compensate for the deficiency in Gekko Hayate's physical strength."
Sarutobi Asuma pondered for a moment and nodded, "It might be a viable option."
"White Zetsu cells are filled with a large amount of First Hokage's cells, but after special modulation, their consumptive nature is far less terrifying than the First Hokage's cells."
Although they were studying Hashirama Cells now, they had no intention of using them directly.
This was because not many people could withstand them.
Yamato was an anomaly, and how many people died before him was likely known only to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzō, and Orochimaru.
However, the White Zetsu captured by Sarutobi Asuma were artificial humans created by Uchiha Madara using the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and specially modulated Hashirama Cells.
While White Zetsu cells contained a large number of Hashirama Cells, they lacked the powerful consumptive nature of Hashirama Cells.
Therefore, during this period, Sarutobi Asuma and Tsunade had been researching how to cultivate and modulate White Zetsu cells.
Although they hadn't fully deciphered it yet, they could at least directly cultivate and utilize White Zetsu cells from captured specimens.
"Once the technology matures a bit more, we can give it a try," Sarutobi Asuma said.
He had now basically confirmed that the Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai was formed by the fusion of Yang Style Chakra Nature Transformation and Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation.
Furthermore, according to Orochimaru's research on the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku, the Shikotsumyaku was formed by the fusion of Yang Style Chakra Nature Transformation and Earth Style Chakra Nature Transformation.
The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan was a fusion of Yang Style and Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation.
However, unlike Transparent Release, the Sharingan was primarily Yin Style dominant.
At least, until the Rinnegan, it was predominantly Yin Style.
Gekko Hayate's Transparent Release, on the other hand, was primarily Yang Style dominant.
Shikotsumyaku was also primarily driven by Yang Release.
Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but think of the Kurama Clan's Genjutsu Kekkei Genkai.
For the Kurama Clan's five senses manipulation Kekkei Genkai, those who awakened it not only risked psychological and spiritual problems, but physical weakness was also a major drawback.
Seeing Sarutobi Asuma deep in thought, Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Sarutobi Asuma snapped out of his daze and shared his thoughts.
Tsunade frowned, "Are you saying that any Kekkei Genkai involving Yang Release or Yin Style increases the possibility of developing a Bloodline Disease."
"Is it fundamentally because the physique cannot withstand the power of the Kekkei Genkai?"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded and said, "As far as I know, the Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha clan will gradually cause blindness if overused."
"No, even the ordinary Sharingan will do the same."
"The awakening and evolution of the Sharingan require extremely intense mental stimulation. This stimulation causes changes in Chakra. My view is that Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation is limited, preventing independent evolution, and thus requiring stimulation to strengthen one's Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation."
"Furthermore, beyond the ordinary Mangekyo, there is also the concept of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
"The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, unless forbidden techniques like Izanagi are used, carries no risk of blindness."
"And the method of obtaining the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan passed down by the Uchiha clan requires absorbing the Mangekyo power of blood relatives."
"Uchiha Madara's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was likely obtained after acquiring the power of his brother's eyes."
Tsunade frowned, "I see."
Sarutobi Asuma mused, "Chakra is formed by the combination of spiritual and physical power. In reality, a person's mind and body are one, intrinsically linked and interdependent."
"Imbalances in either Yang Release or Yin Style will cause problems."
"The most perfect state of the Sharingan is not the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but the Rinnegan. The perfect fusion of Yang Release and Yin Style can create or destroy worlds, making it the most formidable existence among Kekkei Genkai."
However, much of this was speculation.
Sarutobi Asuma thought for a moment, "Sister Tsunade, I'll leave Gekko Hayate to you."
"I'm going to verify some issues regarding the Sharingan."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, "Are you planning to experiment on Shisui?"
Sarutobi Asuma smiled, "This might also be an opportunity to change the Uchiha clan."
