Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Experimental Accident
Looking at Hyuga Rimei's expression as she endured the pain, Shishou frowned.
He noticed that all of Hyuga Rimei's chakra was converging into her eyes.
In other words, Hyuga Rimei's Byakugan was draining the chakra from her body.
Because the internal chakra of her body was being constantly taken away, Hyuga Rimei's whole body was in severe pain.
Could it be that Rimei's special Byakugan was about to evolve into the Tenseigan, thus causing it to violently draw the chakra from her body?
"Don't worry, I'm here."
While comforting Hyuga Rimei, Shishou accelerated the feeding speed of the phosphorous bad bugs, trying to increase the amount of chakra in Hyuga Rimei's body to reduce her pain.
However, as soon as he sped up the feeding process, the speed at which Hyuga Rimei's Byakugan extracted chakra also rapidly increased. Even with Shishou's constant feeding, her body visibly grew thinner.
"Damn..."
Shishou was startled by the situation in front of him.
He made a decisive decision and immediately removed Hyuga Rimei's eyes, forcibly stopping the Byakugan from extracting chakra from her body.
Seeing that the chakra in Hyuga Rimei's body was no longer being taken after the Byakugan was removed, Shishou breathed a sigh of relief and continued to feed her with the power of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline.
It didn't take long for Hyuga Rimei's body to return to its original state, becoming smooth and full again.
Her chakra amount also increased several times.
"Rimei."
With a pale face, bleeding eyes, and covered in sweat, Hyuga Rimei reached out her right hand, groping in the air with a sobbing voice.
"I'm here," Shishou quickly held Hyuga Rimei's hand with both of his.
Feeling the warmth of his hands, Hyuga Rimei relaxed, tightly gripping Shishou's hand, and smiled:
"It really hurt just now, I almost thought I was going to die."
In that moment, Hyuga Rimei truly felt the fear of death.
The situation of having her life force continuously drawn away while being powerless still terrified her.
"I'm sorry, I was too reckless."
Looking at the tears of blood flowing down Hyuga Rimei's beautiful face, Shishou sincerely apologized.
He was too eager to obtain the Tenseigan and quickly reach the Six Paths.
He thought that by awakening the power of the Otsutsuki bloodline in Hyuga Rimei, he could help her awaken the Tenseigan.
However, he ignored whether Hyuga Rimei's body could withstand the evolution of the Tenseigan.
After all, even Nagato with Uzumaki bloodline was drained to the bone by Madara's Rinnegan.
Since the Tenseigan and Rinnegan are both Six Paths-level eyes, naturally, Hyuga Rimei's current body couldn't withstand it.
"It's okay."
Hyuga Rimei held Shishou's hand to her face and rubbed it, smiling, "I believe in you."
When she was on the brink of death, it was Shishou who saved her.
When she was abandoned by the Hyuga clan, it was Shishou who took her in.
Now that Shishou had become her man, she would naturally believe in him without reservation.
Hearing this, Shishou kissed her forehead and smiled:
"Wait here, I'll go get something to increase your chakra."
Shishou planned to fetch some Hashirama White Zetsu to feed Hyuga Rimei, so she could awaken Hashirama's power like Mikoto.
That way, Hyuga Rimei's body should be able to withstand the chakra extraction of the Tenseigan.
"I'm scared."
Seeing Shishou about to leave, Hyuga Rimei hurriedly grabbed his hand.
Having just walked through the gates of hell, with her eyes removed and her body bare, she dared not stay alone on the experimental table.
"Alright, I'll send a clone to get it," Shishou gently comforted.
He created a wood clone and sent it to fetch several Hashirama White Zetsus.
"Shishou, can I still awaken the Tenseigan?" Hyuga Rimei asked, holding Shishou's hand.
Although what she just experienced was extremely painful and terrifying, she didn't want to give up the chance to control her own fate if she could help it.
She didn't want her experience of being used as a tool to happen to Hinata and Hanabi.
She was lucky enough to meet Shishou, but who would Hinata and Hanabi meet? She didn't dare to imagine.
Of course, if Hiashi really dared to send Hinata and Hanabi to someone, she would immediately take Mikoto and the others to wipe out the Hyuga main family.
Shishou squeezed Hyuga Rimei's hand and smiled, "It might take a little longer, but I will definitely help you awaken the Tenseigan."
The recent incident had also scared Shishou, so he decided to take his time and proceed with the experiments carefully.
"Okay," Hyuga Rimei nodded gently.
Then, Shishou began to use the phosphorous bad bugs to devour the Hashirama cells from White Zetsu and then prepare to feed them to Hyuga Rimei.
Just as he placed his hand on Hyuga Rimei, he suddenly paused.
He had thought of a problem.
The condition for the Byakugan to evolve into the Tenseigan is the combination of the Hyuga main family's special Byakugan and the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.
If he awakened the power of Hashirama in Hyuga Rimei, would she still be able to awaken the Tenseigan?
To confirm this, Shishou removed his Sharingan from his left eye and implanted Hyuga Rimei's Byakugan.
"Hmm?"
"It's not extracting my chakra."
"Indeed, it requires the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan to awaken the Byakugan into the Tenseigan."
Feeling the situation in his eye socket, Shishou frowned.
Then he re-implanted Hyuga Rimei's right Byakugan into her.
As soon as it was implanted, the right eye began to rapidly extract the chakra from Hyuga Rimei's body.
Since it was only one Byakugan, and Hyuga Rimei's chakra had significantly increased due to the infusion of a large amount of Otsutsuki bloodline power, this time it didn't cause the life-threatening situation from before.
Seeing this, Shishou was troubled.
If he awakened Hashirama's power in Hyuga Rimei, it might prevent or significantly delay the awakening of the Tenseigan, which would be a huge loss.
He only had Hyuga Rimei as his experimental subject for the Tenseigan and couldn't afford any mistakes.
'Forget it, let's play it safe.'
'Complete the research and transplantation of the Otsutsuki cells first, and let Rimei fully awaken the Otsutsuki bloodline power.'
'That way, she should be able to withstand the chakra extraction of the Byakugan.'
Thinking this, Shishou asked Hyuga Rimei:
"How do you feel now?"
At this moment, Hyuga Rimei's right Byakugan was still constantly absorbing her chakra, making the eye increasingly bright.
Hyuga Rimei blinked her single right eye, silently felt for a while, then said to Shishou:
"It feels like this eye is getting full, the chakra extraction speed has slowed down a lot."
"I think I can handle it."
