Chapter 11 Chakra Genetics and Blood Inheritance Engineering
In the evening, because of Uchiha's rare victory against the Hokage in decades, several clan members pulled Uchiha Yuan to have a meal together to celebrate.
After the meal, someone suggested going to an izakaya to chat about life with the ladies.
"Then let's go, Yuan!"
Uchiha Inari hummed a tune, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said jokingly:
"Even if you are a great hero of Uchiha, you should do things at your age!"
"Hahaha!" A group of people jumped up and down with joy, and then walked toward Customs Street arm in arm.
"Shit!"
On the way back to his clan alone, Uchiha Yuan kicked the pebbles on the ground and felt desperate for this deformed ninja world:
An era when ninjas could kill without changing their expressions at the age of seven or eight.
An era when one could get married at the age of fourteen.
The laws of the Fire Nation actually stipulate that those under the age of 18 cannot drink alcohol and cannot sell alcohol to minors?
"Yuan-kun!"
Just when Uchiha Yuan was about to reach the clan territory, a hoarse and magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
Uchiha Gen looked around and spotted a young man in black kimono hidden in the shadow of a street lamp not far away.
He had long shawl hair, black eyeliner and purple eyeshadow, and golden vertical pupils, making his eyes look extremely terrifying.
When Orochimaru saw Uchiha Source looking over, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he licked his lips.
"Mr. Orochimaru!"
Uchiha Yuan came to Orochimaru's side very naturally, "Are you looking for me?"
"I'll help you get what you want." Orochimaru chuckled, obviously in a good mood:
"And I have made quite interesting discoveries about the genetic material you mentioned before! You know where to find me."
With a "bang", the shadow clone used to convey the message disappeared.
Facing Orochimaru's summons, Uchiha Yuan fell into deep thought.
The technological development of the ninja world is quite abnormal. Some of them look like futuristic science fiction of the 22nd century under the influence of chakra, while others are as backward as the 17th or 18th century.
Previously, the ninja world's understanding of biology was basically at the cellular level.
During the three battles, in order to learn more advanced medical ninjutsu and better save the dog's life, Uchiha Source revealed some of the biological knowledge he learned in high school in his previous life to Orochimaru, thus receiving preferential treatment from him on the battlefield.
If he hadn't been an Uchiha, he might have been accepted as a disciple by Orochimaru, who admired him.
But contacting Orochimaru at this time when the Hokage system has just suffered a setback...
After a while, Uchiha decided to go to Orochimaru's laboratory in the village.
Without him, with the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique of the prosthetic eye, he thought he was enough to deal with Orochimaru, and he was also very interested in Orochimaru's 'discovery'.
......
Under the dark night, a figure shuttled through the forest of death, and finally plunged into the hole of a giant tree.
Passing through layers of seals and traps, Uchiha Yuan entered the underground laboratory.
There are many translucent glass jars placed along the walls of the cold and damp basement. They are all filled with strange-shaped products that make you lose your sense of sanity at a glance. The air is also filled with an indescribable smell of various chemical reagents mixed with each other.
Uchiha Yuan was already used to this. Following the buzzing sound of the experimental equipment, he quickly found Orochimaru in a laboratory who was looking at the experimental table intently.
"Coming? Wait!"
Orochimaru was playing with the microscope and other experimental equipment. After a sound of the instrument counting down, sheets of paper full of graphics and text were spit out from the printer behind him.
"Look at these cell diagrams first!"
With Orochimaru's permission, Uchiha Yuan picked up the information and sat aside.
Oval, with indistinct nucleoli, they are human tissue cells; the cytoplasm is very shallow and contains a large number of small granules, which is neutrophils...
Uchiha source browsed quickly, and suddenly stopped when he saw a certain cell with cell walls and vacuoles.
Cell wall, vacuole.
Based on his superficial high school biology knowledge, those with these characteristics should generally be plant cells.
but,
Orochimaru marked this cell diagram next to:
Human meridian cells!
Yes, although the people of the ninja world are similar in appearance and structure to the earthlings in Uchiha Yuan's previous life, they are essentially different on the inside:
For example, people in the ninja world have 130 trillion cells while people on earth only have 40 to 60 trillion.
For another example, people in the ninja world have a 'chakra meridian system' that is spread throughout the body like the circulatory system.
The cells that make up the chakra meridians are actually plant-like?
Uchiha Gen thought of the sacred tree planted by Otsutsuki.
"As expected of you, Yuan-kun! You discovered the key point at a glance!"
Orochimaru opened the sink on the experimental table, and while rubbing his hands, he twisted his neck at an inhuman 180 degrees, and looked directly at Uchiha Yuan with sharp eyes like an eagle:
"I am convinced that the secret of chakra should be in these meridian cells. But now, I would like to ask you to take a look at another thing first."
Orochimaru turned sideways to make way for the experimental table, signaling Uchiha Gen to observe the microscope he had adjusted.
Under the microscope, there is a long 'tadpole', which is the male germ cell.
"Source-kun! This cell was provided by an unknown special jounin of the Sarutobi clan. Pay attention to the back ring in the middle of the tail of his germ cell!"
Uchiha Source opened the Sharingan directly and used its powerful observation power to observe the tail of the 'tadpole'.
"This place has a small number of semi-autonomous organelles similar to mitochondria and chloroplasts!" Orochimaru's voice was extremely excited:
“A few months ago, there was no such structure in his germ cells!
Just two months ago, after he completed the transformation of his fire attribute, some of his reproductive cells carried this organelle.
Therefore, I followed your naming of mitochondria and chloroplasts and named this organelle 'attribute body'.
They can inherit the properties of chakra!
For families like Uchiha and Sarutobi who are good at fire escape, almost every descendant is talented in fire escape. This is because there are many ninjas in the family who have completed the change of fire escape properties and passed this attribute on to their descendants! "
Uchiha Source nodded.
Nature change is already considered a very advanced ninjutsu skill. Those who can practice it are basically jounin or above...
This coincides with the phenomenon in the ninja world that the descendants of strong men are usually good at the same escape techniques as their parents.
But this is at most a verification of the inheritance of chakra attributes, not a big discovery, right?
As if aware of Uchiha Yuan's doubts, Orochimaru quickly took out a composition of germ cells, pointed at the location where the 'attribute body' was just observed and said:
"Minamoto-kun, do you know how many ninjutsu-type blood succession limits there are in the ninja world?"
Uchiha Yuan quickly recalled the common magnetic melting ice boiling, melting and exploding, the uncommon crystal steel burning through the table...
"About ten kinds?"
"Twenty kinds!"
Orochimaru's voice was decisive, full of confidence in his own research:
"Ninjutsu type blood succession, no more, no less, exactly twenty types! And next..."
Orochimaru's smile became more and more crazy, but his eyes became clearer and firmer, like a pilgrim who finally saw his goal:
"I will show you the truth of blood inheritance!"
