- It's more like shadow control in Nara hijutsu, but without the seal and with more emphasis on visualizing the end result rather than focusing," Kaguya tried to suggest, "this body probably has a natural safeguard against such a result, but the individual bone doesn't have one and will have to be learned through experience.
- Well, we can try again," I shrugged.
This time, I fed chakra into my pinky finger, concentrating on strengthening the bone, but not growing anything out of it, and... the finger remained unharmed, even though it was soaked to the brim!
- Look, it worked! - exclaimed, blurring into a smile. - How about this?
A long and thin needle, stained with blood from the punctured flesh, extended out from his outstretched finger, and then slowly retracted back in, and the small wound quickly healed from the transformed medical chakra.
- Boss? - The clones surged forward, eager to hear the verdict.
- It was unexpectedly difficult," I wiped away a few drops of sweat on my forehead, "harder than controlling a shadow on bare control alone.
- I don't have that problem, but my chakra isn't as thick and strong as it used to be," Ningyo shrugged.
- Perhaps that is indeed the case," he agreed, closing his eyes slightly and listening to his sensations.
Maybe it's just me, but the more time that passed, washing over the replacement in circulating chakra, the more I began to feel the bone, as if the feeling in the weaned limb was returning. It was the closest comparison and at the same time, not a particularly apt one.
- So, shall we execute the skeleton replacement plan? - The first kage bunshin couldn't resist.
- I think so, given the details of Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse), it would be the most acceptable way to strengthen me in terms of quality and time required," he nodded, but then added a clarification, "but not all at once, but in parts for better habituation, because this kekkei genkai is quite dangerous without habituation and training.
- You won't be able to replace all the bones at once," Kaguya grinned, "since the current reserve will be enough to regenerate Kami's arm or part of her leg.
- Your keirakukei can't handle my chakra yet.
- That's right.
