- In our case, the father's chakra was passed down through the father's line, which provided us with all the advantages, even if not at the level of pureblood representatives of the clan. In our case, the children will receive even less benefits and so on until the heritage is dissolved, but if the mother is an Uzumaki, not only the unique chakra will be passed on, affecting from the moment of conception and strengthening the transmitted kekkei genkai, but also the predisposition of the body's genes that have been influenced by the chakra for a long time and all the features of the clan's genkkei genkai will be retained through the generations much longer than the father's line, and if both parents are purebloods, it's a no-brainer.
- Naruto wouldn't agree with you," I said with a mocking eyebrow.
- That's just as clear an example as the Mito children, who didn't have any of the advantages of the Uzumaki, except for the strong bodies of the Senju," the doppelganger said, waving his hands in the air, to the nods of his friends, - The biju chakra of all jinchuriki adjusts the bearer to himself, in fact, diluting the kekkei genkai and not allowing it to be passed on to children, so Naruto got a strong body, but the dominant genes came from Minato, although it should have been the other way around.
- So, theoretically, by exposing the embryo to our chakra throughout its development until birth and forming the source instead of the mother's, rather than just letting nature take its course, we can pass on to the child all the advantages we have ourselves with little to no loss? - I asked thoughtfully, already seeing the path the shadow clones had taken in their quest to solve the problem of rejuvenating the kunoichi subjects.
- Exactly! The body changes under the influence of chakra, and even if the mother will not be Uzumaki, the weakening of keirakukei genkai practically will not be, - nodded the first, - just on this basis, and we were starting with this test subject, first mixing your chakra with hers, and then, gradually replaced completely in the entire keirakukei, helping the impact on the body both with drugs and complex seals, at the cellular level stimulating the beginning of the changes, which is very much helped by Orochimaru's records.
- It was necessary to increase the concentration of chakra in the channels, which resulted in a lot of damage to the keirakukei even for a kunoichi as old as she was," the third grinned, "but to lose almost eight years in a month and a half, even at such a cost, just confirms our theory.
- I nodded, admiring the naked body of the kunoichi in the flask, which didn't look like it belonged to a forty-two-year-old woman, but what happened to the second subject? - I turned to the flask next door.
- More extensive damage to the chakrosystem and source, along with the effects of the last experiment, were the cause of death," replied the fourth, indifferently, "we've been running the process on her, so it's not a wasted sacrifice, and the documented observations have been very helpful to us in achieving success with the second approach.
I sighed regretfully, but didn't comment - clones were made to be like that, focused on the goal, even if it meant sacrificing someone. So I'd rather have their memories destroyed than have them come back to me.
