Glancing at the Hyuuga Clan’s child, Korin immediately sobered up. “Huh?! What an interesting child!”
While she talked, she put her paws on the child’s arm. After a while, she nodded and shook her head; her expression changed.
Realizing the change in Korin’s expression, he knew she had discovered something and asked. “What do you say, Korin?”
“I guess you want to know why the child’s Byakugan is gone, right?”
Ryo and Orochimaru glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
“Actually, this child’s Byakugan didn’t disappear. It just evolved. No… it’s not just evolving. It’s getting stronger. The evolution had used all of the child’s Otsutsuki Clan bloodline, so it’s only natural why you guys can’t feel it.” Korin explained slowly.
Ryo and Orochimaru were both startled. Ryo, even more. “Korin, you’re sure? Byakugan’s evolution is Tenseigan. But this child…”
Korin turned. “I said, it’s stronger. Just like your Sharingan that slowly acc.u.mulates other Dojutsu. This child’s Byakugan rejected him because his Otsutsuki Clan bloodline is already depleted.”
Orochimaru nodded. “Ryo, it seems the Caged Bird had suppressed the child’s Byakugan evolution. Once it was lifted, the years of suppression instantly erupted, so his eyes suddenly evolved so much to the point it consumed all of his bloodlines. Leading to Byakugan’s recession.”
“It seems like it was the case. Korin, can we revive the child’s Byakugan?” Ryo asked.
“Let me see…” Korin put her paws again on the child’s arm and shook her head. “It’s impossible to recover it. If it’s only the Byakugan recession, we can cultivate it, and maybe there’s a chance to restore it. But this child had a Kekkei Genkai immediately after Byakugan’s recession. Moreover, it’s a powerful Kekkei Genkai!”
Orochimaru licked his lips, “What a shame, it seems Hiashi will be disappointed.”
Ryo snorted coldly. “Huh? Why would they? They should think about the possibility when they engrave the Caged Bird.”
“Alright, alright. Are you done yet? Because I want to go back to sleep.” Korin saw Ryo waving his hands and returned to the Ninja Tool Pouch.
“Ryo, your Bijuu is really lazy. She immediately goes back to sleep.”
“I can’t help it. I’m the one who made her the ‘master.’” Ryo spoke in a helpless tone.
Orochimaru couldn’t comprehend what he was saying and just about to ask when he saw Ryo turned his attention to the Hyuuga child.
Frowning, Orochimaru asked. “Ryo, what else do you want to do?”
Ryo replied. “I want to help this child to seal his own Berserk Spiritual Strength so he can be familiar with his power and control the Kurama Clan’s Kekkei Genkai.”
Orochimaru sighed. “Hah, you haven’t changed. Still loves to intervene.”
“Helping him won’t hurt! If I let the child’s Spiritual Strength swell like this, he could hold a shadow in his heart. He could even develop a second personality.”
“Second personality? What is that?”
“Second personality means he would have a different personality from his original persona. This personality can take over his body and do a lot of terrifying things without the original person knowing it.”
Hearing this, Orochimaru contemplated and asked. “Ryo, you mean there will be two souls from the same root in his body?”
Ryo nodded. “Un! Something like that!”
Orochimaru’s expression suddenly changed. When he performed the Body Replacement Technique, the most taboo thing was the existence of the soul.
On several occasions, the inexplicable, mysterious consciousness appeared on the clone. Now, he already knew the answer to the cause.
“Ryo, can I ask you something? Is there a chance for the second personality to appear in another case?”
Ryo shook his head. “I don’t know about that. But I think most people who had a second personality, or his own subconsciousness is similar to the second personality. For example, some Ninja could complete a mission after losing his consciousness. Or a drunkard could find his own home after being drunk. I think it’s a manifestation of the subconsciousness or second personality.”
Hearing this, Orochimaru relaxed. “Yeah, it seems that the occasional Spiritual Strength fluctuations in my clones were my subconsciousness.”
After explaining to Orochimaru, Ryo approached the child, using Spiritual Strength to enter his brain.
After three inspections, Ryo felt he should help the child seal his Berserk Spiritual Strength.
The reason why he helped this child was to prevent him from going berserk like Kurama Yak.u.mo in the original manga, not to seal the child’s mind.
He opened his Sharingan, pulled the child’s consciousness into the Ice World, then set a Dojutsu seal similar to what Uchiha Madara did to seal Obito’s brain.
And after that, he sealed the Spiritual Strength inside the child’s body. After sealing the child’s mind, Ryo released the child’s consciousness. After a while, the child’s eyes opened slowly. He was speechless.
Ryo laughed. “He should be fine.”
After that, the two of them walked out of the house together. As they left the house, Orochimaru spoke to Ryo. “Ryo, can you take me back to Otogakure? I want to study his blood.”
“Alright, let’s do it after we finished talking with Hiashi.”
At this moment, Hiashi was still waiting at the courtyard gate, waiting for the two guests to come out. After they came out of the house, Hiashi immediately greeted them.
Ryo explained the brief situation to Hiashi. After hearing it, Hiashi felt grief.
According to Ryo, this child had an innate talent. But the Hyuuga Clan’s Branch Family system delayed his talent.
Ryo patted Hiashi’s shoulder. “Clan Leader Hiashi, it’s not too late. We have lifted the Caged Bird off the Branch Family. This kind of situation will never happen again. You can rest a.s.sured.”
After saying that, Ryo took Orochimaru and teleported to Otogakure.
……….
Upon returning to Otogakure, Orochimaru immediately went to his laboratory, studied the blood from the ice bowl, and placed it on the microscope.
After a while, he found nothing abnormal. Orochimaru was a bit disappointed. But then he suddenly remembered something to do thorough research about the White Zetsu Cell.
