Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 77 Human Body Printing (Thirteenth Update)

He glanced sideways at the smug-looking girl, but ignored her and focused on Karura.

"These facts alone are not enough to convince me."

In those words, Kushina Uzumaki was clearly just there to make up the numbers, since she was also learning sealing techniques and it was unknown how many years it would take for her to fully develop them.

As if he had anticipated Tamura's words, Karura calmly explained, "The Second Kazekage once conducted research on human puppets. That was the pinnacle of puppetry, using human bodies to create puppets and maintaining their chakra from their previous lives to perform ninjutsu."

Ordinary puppet creations require high-level chakra threads to operate, which is not easy even for ninjas to master.

The legs and feet are fine, but the hands are too flexible, making them the most difficult to control. Normal puppet creations alone are not enough to restore them to the same level of dexterity as before.

Human puppets will inevitably be needed, which requires extensive research and experimentation.

"A human puppet!"

Tamura Hao fell into deep thought. Human puppets undoubtedly had great potential for development, and Sasori of the Red Sand would have started out with this.

However, human puppets also have limitations, namely, their growth has a limit and they cannot surpass their former selves.

Look at those human puppets that Sasori of the Red Sand created; they're nothing but cannon fodder.

Moreover, Karura herself is not a puppeteer, but only has some dabbling in it, the kind who has just entered the field. In addition, she is kind-hearted, so even if she forces herself to study, she will probably find it difficult to achieve results.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can get you a complete Kaguya clan ninja corpse from the village. You should quickly research the secret technique of human puppetry and make it into a human puppet to control the Corpse Bone Pulse."

Then, the bone marrow veins are used to assist in the research on cell differentiation. The human body initially develops and differentiates from a single cell. If the underlying principles can be understood, corresponding limbs and even internal organs can be cloned and printed for transplantation to the disabled.

The skeleton is the main framework of the human body, and it should be easier to move with skeletal guidance.

"The original body is always the best."

While the organ-regenerating power of Yang Release is difficult to manipulate for the time being, a shortcut can be taken by combining scientific technology and ninjutsu to induce and complete the kind of human body printing depicted in science fiction movies.

Complete human cloning is too taboo; once it's done, it becomes an independent individual.

But if it's just printing and shaping limbs and internal organs, then it's nothing special.

This technique sounds difficult, but it's not difficult in the world of Naruto. Chakra is quite versatile in this regard.

This is undoubtedly more profitable than a puppet or prosthetic limb, especially for ninjas.

As for Kaguya's corpse, several intact bodies were left behind and are now sealed in the village's research department.

"Human regeneration?"

Karura's beautiful eyes lit up; this was a very good topic.

If the research is successful, I will be able to create a pair of legs using my own cells, and then transplant them through surgery, thus restoring myself to full health. Even burns on my skin can be healed through this method.

"Let's figure out the secret technique for creating human puppets first."

Tamura is very optimistic about the development prospects in this area and is sure to make a fortune.

They could even create perfect bodies for the powerful and wealthy, especially women, who would surely go crazy for it and be willing to pay to have their bodies replaced.

He will not give up his financial power. The most profitable thing is undoubtedly to mess around with those industries with professional barriers, so that he can form a monopoly that is difficult for others to overcome and imitate in a short period of time.

"It's not difficult to make those low-level human puppets. Once I've researched those chakra cores, I can start making them."

Gallo became excited and even more confident.

Creating a human puppet that perfectly preserves all of a person's ninjutsu and bloodline limit is extremely difficult; even the Second Kazekage seems to have failed.

However, if it were just some low-strength human puppets, it would be simple. Now, all that is needed is to guide the growth of bones, which requires much less power from the Corpse Bone Pulse. It doesn't even need the assistance of ninjutsu; all that's needed is to create a chakra core.

"I'll go cook for Haojun."

Feeling even better, Karura got up and went to the kitchen to start tinkering. The ingredients were readily available, making it easy to prepare.

Soon, Tamura Hiroshi had a decent dinner. After finishing, he sat on the sofa in the living room, where Karura kindly and considerately brought him some tea.

"Let me introduce you. Her name is Uchiha Hikaru. She will be a member of the village from now on, but she's not from the same lineage as the Uchiha clan in Konoha."

Tamura Hao told Karura and the other person that Uchiha Hikaru would be a resident here from now on.

This person is actually quite difficult to settle down. Even the Third Raikage was troubled by this, as his identity and experience are too special.

The Third Raikage hoped that Hikaru Uchiha could integrate smoothly into the village, become an Uchiha of Kumogakure, and even develop into an Uchiha clan.

This decision was mainly made because of the conflict between this girl and the Uchiha clan. There was no longer any bond between them, only hatred. This provided a basis for winning her over and integrating her.

Otherwise, if it were a Konoha Uchiha, their eyes would have been gouged out and they would have been sent to the research department for study long ago.

"Uchiha?"

Karura and Kushina Uzumaki were both very surprised. They had been guessing the girl's identity, but they never expected her to be an Uchiha.

"Also, I need to implant an imprint on you."

Tamura Hao raised his hand and placed it between Karura and Kushina Uzumaki's eyebrows, guiding the ten-tailed chakra mark to be imprinted on the two of them, absorbing the chakra and purifying and transforming it into chakra with only Kaguya's mark.

"My control has improved a lot."

Karura was quite surprised as he sensed his current chakra; his control over chakra had increased dramatically.

Kushina Uzumaki was also completely baffled as to how she managed to do it.

Even Uchiha Hikaru couldn't understand it. The Eight Thousand Spears was her own Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique, and she knew its effects very well. She had used it many times before, but she didn't have the same effect when she used it. How come it changed when that shameless villain took over?

"Be careful not to use it too much and go blind."

Uchiha Hikaru retorted unhappily, clearly quite annoyed.

Although the Kaleidoscope's eye technique is very powerful, it also has significant side effects. My eyesight deteriorated drastically back then; otherwise, I wouldn't have been sealed by the Senju clan using the Inner Four Symbols technique.

Has your vision improved?

Ignoring the girl's resentment, Tamura Hiroshi brought up the issue of vision recovery.

Unless it's Madara Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, using it will gradually cause the eyes' condition to decline.

Just like Itachi Uchiha, who eventually couldn't see clearly anymore.

Although Uchiha Hikaru had two Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques transplanted into him later in life, he did not have Indra's chakra and could not evolve into the Eternal Eye; he remained at the Mangekyou level.

Since it's a kaleidoscope, it naturally still has side effects.

"Whose heart is this?"

With his palm pressed against his chest, Uchiha Hikaru couldn't understand whose heart it was, yet the chakra generated from it could restore his eyesight.

Although the recovery is slow, it is indeed recovering.

"The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was a top-tier member of the Senju clan, second only to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and possessed all chakra natures."

Tamura Hao had high hopes for Uchiha Hikaru, who had fused with Tobirama Senju's heart. The fact that Hikaru had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age was enough to prove his talent and aptitude.

Now that we have Tobirama Senju's heart, it's like combining the power of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

Creating a second Madara Uchiha is unrealistic, but imitating Obito Uchiha is still possible.

If we obtain interstitial cells in the future, we can try injecting and fusing them.

To be honest, he was quite wary of the future Obito Uchiha. The legacy he received from Kamui and Madara Uchiha was secondary; the key issue was Obito's own madness. He was almost reckless, even plotting to kill his own teacher and mistress. He had become utterly depraved.

It's really difficult to deal with someone who has almost no ties to you.

The only ones who can withstand Obito Uchiha are the Uchiha clan, and Hikaru Uchiha will be his trump card.
