Chapter 293: Lineage Transplant
Now, driven by their "economic power," Teku Kin's strength also rapidly increased, and his main focus was on aerial combat. With the wealth and growing population of the Teku family, along with their summoned beast, the falcon, the family had shown signs of recovery compared to the stagnant Inuzuka family. If not for the appearance of Ryo and Tsume in this generation, the Inuzuka might not have surpassed the Teku in prowess.
Unfortunately, while mechanical manipulators driven by "economic power" can be quickly mastered, they also have a limit. Tekudō also consulted Sasuke about his future development, and he offered him solutions: first, increase the strength of the falcons; second, develop puppet crossbows; and third, develop Iwagakure's explosive ninjutsu.
The Teku family was receptive. They not only invested heavily in the Land of Waves Laboratory but also fully supported the development of the crossbows. As for Kin, with more talent, while training in mechanical manipulation, he also learned earth and fire ninjutsu in preparation for the development of Explosion Style.
While Inu, Bird, Tsume, and Kin did not have to worry too much, their third brother, Tobirama, consumed his considerable attention. In this cruel world, the bonds of a lineage were not easily broken, especially the problem of chakra. With the secret control and defense techniques, and the help of Umibōzu's clones, becoming a chūnin was not difficult, but a jōnin was much more challenging.
The talent of Tobirama and Koharu was impressive, but compared to the younger generation of ninjas, they were far inferior. An unexpected failed experiment gave a turn of events.
Sasuke's original target was himself. While performing an examination on Nawaki, he took the opportunity to obtain some of his bone marrow. He had planned to transplant it, hoping to stimulate his White Zetsu abilities and see if he could awaken his Wood Style. However, the results were disappointing. Nawaki's bone marrow was incompatible with his.
The experiment failed due to an incompatibility. Thinking about this problem, Sasuke had an idea. He, Tobirama, and Koharu were brothers; the bone marrow was naturally very compatible. Using his masterful medical ninjutsu, he silently transplanted his specially treated bone marrow cells into his brothers. The process went surprisingly smoothly. Since the transplants, they have experienced few side effects, other than a renewed appetite.
To maximize the benefits, he guided them in the practice of the "Bone Marrow Yang Style Hematopoiesis." Tobirama and Koharu already had some experience with Yang Style. Under his guidance, both quickly mastered the technique. His bone marrow was exceptional; he had already fused a Kekkei Genkai, and his DNA was in the process of transformation.
Since their bone marrow was transplanted, his brothers' originally dark skin began to clear up, and they looked better every day. The chakra levels in their bodies slowly increased. Even more surprisingly, with continuous practice, they had unknowingly developed wind-attribute chakra. This meant that their constitutions had been transformed into dual-attribute chakras. They might even have the potential to awaken their Ice Style Kekkei Genkai!
Thus, the Umino clan's secret technique system finally took shape. The untalented members could consume Life Star II and put on the flying armor to quickly become chūnin. Those with average talent could cultivate the Secret Water Syrup Technique or the Secret Black Rope Technique. Those with good talent had more options, being able to specialize in the Mystical Art of the Black Rope while working as medical ninjas, or in the Mystical Art of the Water Syrup and follow the path of a sealing control ninja.
With the formation of this combat system, the "Fish, Bird, and Inu" clans seemed to be ready to quickly become first-rate clans. They only lacked high-level combat power and time.
Fortunately, bone marrow transplants were now possible, creating artificial geniuses. However, only Tobirama and Koharu had undergone them. The closer the lineage, the less likely the rejection reaction. Their parents and older brother were common people without chakra. For distant members, the risk was extremely high.
