Chapter 372: Chapter 370 : Want Byakugan??
The Hyuga main family would never understand the pain of Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
Those words from Toshi echoed in Hyuga Choryū’s ears, his tone filled with despair, his heart feeling completely crushed.
Did Toshi really not intend to let him go?
He had hoped that Toshi would show some mercy, but now it seemed like Toshi was the only one here who wouldn’t be moved by anything.
And from what Toshi just said, Choryū was utterly hopeless.
Toshi was clearly on Neji’s side!
"You can’t do this! I am a member of the Hyuga main family. If I go missing, they will definitely come looking for me!" Hyuga Choryū still refused to give up and tried to struggle.
"If they find out what you’ve done, the Hyuga clan will make sure to settle the score with you once and for all!"
That was his final threat.
Of course, the Hyuga clan was also his last hope to survive.
"Heh. Let your clan come into this experimental base and then we’ll talk!"
Just as Choryū’s words fell, a cold and contemptuous voice sounded.
The tone was cool but carried a proud arrogance.
Everyone turned around.
They saw a white-haired youth walking over, his expression full of pride, his every step arrogant and condescending.
Following behind the white-haired man was a strong-built man, carrying Samehada on his back.
These two were none other than Kimimaro and Jugo.
The two had changed a great deal since arriving at the experimental base.
Kimimaro looked handsome now but his eyes were sharp and ruthless.
Over the years, he had fused with Uzumaki cells and another type of cell that strengthened his body.
Because of this, Kimimaro was now healthy, no longer suffering from his previous frail condition.
Instead, his whole body contained a terrifying chakra. And this was without activating the curse mark mode. If he did activate it...
The other was the burly Jugo, who had also been enhanced by the Uzumaki cells of the ninja world, and special fused chakra cells.
Most importantly, he had fused the cells of Samehada behind him. That’s why Jugo looked incredibly tall at this moment!
His entire body was already about two and a half meters tall, muscles bulging all over.
Just looking from afar, he gave off an overwhelming sense of explosive power... no, terrifying explosive power!
Moreover, this body could store even more chakra and unleash greater strength in battle.
And... Samehada behind Jugo had also grown much larger!
The two of them appeared, radiating great intimidation!
Even when Hyūga Choryū and the other Hyūga clan members saw them, their expressions turned serious.
Just seeing them from a distance gave a strong feeling of pressure.
Genya also nodded slightly. These two had gotten even stronger!
Once there was time, after two years of modifications, they would be able to join Atsukara. They now had the strength to become members.
With these two, plus the somewhat unreliable Deidara guarding the lab, even if the Hyūga clan knew that Choryū and his group were there, they wouldn’t be able to break in!
He was very confident!
This was also why Genya dared to bring Choryū and the others directly to the lab.
Toshi also nodded with satisfaction when he saw the two. He had been somewhat involved in their evolution, so he understood the strength of Kimimaro and the others.
With Kimimaro and these two around, he felt secure!
"Genya-sama," said Kimimaro and Jugo, finally turning to him and bowing seriously.
They deeply respected Genya!
Putting aside how kind Genya had been to them, Genya’s own strength was far beyond their reach.
Every time they evolved, they would challenge Genya together!
Genya was like an unfathomable lake—deep beyond sight!
No, rather than saying it was bottomless, it was more accurate to say their strength was too weak.
So, they kept chasing after Genya’s footsteps!
"Kimimaro, you came just in time..." Genya’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke. Then he continued, "Do you want a pair of eyes like these?"
While speaking, Genya pointed toward Hyuga Choryū.
As a member of the Hyuga main family, Choryū was not bound by the restrictions of a caged bird. He could freely remove his Byakugan and transplant it to Kimimaro!
Both Kimimaro and the Hyuga clan descended from the Kaguya bloodline.
Perhaps their combination would multiply the power of the Byakugan!
"Byakugan?"
Kimimaro’s eyes narrowed as he looked once again at Hyuga Choryū.
He seemed to be pondering.
It had to be said—every time Genya had him fuse cells, he had managed to endure it, and each time his strength improved significantly. But he had never replaced any body parts directly before.
This time, it was the eyes.
He had to think carefully. After all, if the transplant failed, would he become blind?
A Byakugan transplant?
Toshi and Neji both showed surprise. They never expected Genya to have such a plan—to give the Byakugan to Kimimaro!
"No, you can’t do this! I am a member of the Hyuga main family. I can be killed but not humiliated!" Hyuga Choryū and another member of the main family’s faces instantly darkened when they heard Genya’s words.
They did not expect Uchiha Genya to be so ruthless—not only wanting to use them for experiments but also to take their eyes!
"There’s no place for your words here!" Genya dismissed several dying members of the Hyuga main family with disdain.
These people were getting desperate. When they bullied the branch family and tried to take Neji, why weren’t they so urgent then?
These main family members were like birds in a cage, benefiting from the current situation. They had to know there was a chance of losing their eyes!
Some of these main family members even wanted to destroy their own eyes with their hands, but now they had no strength left to do it!
Genya was waiting for Kimimaro’s decision.
"If you want to transplant the Byakugan, I will remove your original eyeballs and preserve them, so if you don’t want to fuse with the Byakugan, you can have your own eyes put back," Toshi said, noticing Kimimaro’s hesitation.
He could preserve Kimimaro’s original eyeballs!
"Can it really be preserved?" A light flickered in Kimimaro’s eyes.
"Yes, easily. But even if the original eyes are transplanted back, it will take at least six months for a full recovery," Toshi warned seriously.
Any medical ninja could replace eyeballs, but the real difficulty was avoiding the backlash!
Right now, the perfect eye transplant was Uchiha Shisui’s. He had taken eyes from his own clan, and after adjustments by Hikari, they had perfectly fused!
It was truly a miracle — and that miracle was made possible by his own disciple, Senju Hikari!
Genya also encouraged Kimimaro from the side, "Don’t worry too much. I will bring Hikari to help with the repair and fusion. You know her methods, and she has successful cases. As long as your body doesn’t reject it too much, it should be fine!"
"Once you fuse the Byakugan, your strength will rise to a whole new level!"
