- Let's assume that such a quick result, although clear, but too brutal for the subject, - I returned to the subject, - what if you stretch it with the help of seals for several years?
- In principle, it is possible, but it takes time to work out and the result will be worse, - shrugged his shoulders.
- Then do it - you can still wait," I ordered the doppelgangers.
- Yes, boss!
- What was that about the skeleton? - I remembered the kage bunshin's other suggestion.
- Kaguya's kekkei genkai is completely physical and works fine even with altered chakra," the third one perked up, "why not use what you already have on hand and get Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse) by transplanting the entire skeleton?
- If only it were that easy! - With a sarcastic snort, I rolled my eyes. - Even with my skills, this operation would be very tricky and assuming that replacing the skeleton would actually give me the ability to use their kekkei genkai, I don't have the healing factor that allows Kaguya bodies to heal the damage done to the bones. And to constantly use medical chakra for that, along with blocking nerves from extraction points, would be too costly and fiddly.
- Well, strictly speaking, boss, it is not so good - without a large infusion of chakra, the skin and minor injuries to tighten enough, but no more, - gave a voice kanpeki ningyo, - it's all about the structure and structure of the muscles that diverge in front of the ejected bones.
- That is, you'll have to do muscle modification as well," I sighed at his clarification.
- In general, we need Shikotsumyaku only as a tool to improve and armor the carcass and internal organs, - the first raised an eyebrow, transferring his gaze from Kaguya to me, - and the use of their own bones in hand-to-hand combat, no special advantage will not give, given our specialization, and we do not know the appropriate style of taijutsu.
- Right, but for these two purposes it would be much more effective and faster to get a genkai rather than check old man Hishi's records," said the third colleague, "moreover, the result of full bone modification will still be inferior to Kaguya's bones, and if we take into account the beneficial effects of our chakra....
And they were right - even a cursory examination during the treatment of the body was enough to realize how much this shinobi's skeleton was stronger and more resistant to damage than a normal human's, even if using chakra.
For the better, of course. Even with Hyuga's full-fledged modification, it was only possible to come close to such a result, but in no way to compare and even less to surpass it.
- Okay, the idea may be worthwhile," I agreed with a sigh under five pairs of expectant stares, "but I'm not going to do something so radical from the get-go - I can work out the process first on individual bones, and if the result is positive without rejection by the body, then we can think about a larger-scale replacement.
