- Only it will be necessary to find a separate room with a flat floor, - I rubbed my chin and explained at the questioning look of my colleague, - anticipating something like this, I took with me a pre-created research complex of seals, which remains only to be transferred to a suitable flat surface.
- It's no problem, I'll have them add a room to the hospital so the iryonins can use it later," the jonin said.
- See you tomorrow, then," I nodded to him.
When I nodded back, I hurried to my room, and only after blocking the passage and activating the barrier that provided absolute privacy even against the Byakugan did I turn to see my own shadow falling from the flickering fuin on the ceiling, replacing the usual light bulb. At the same moment, the three shadow clones that had been sent out to prey on the test subjects slowly manifested, gaining volume.
- So, what's the catch?
Each of my spears, only exclusively black in color, ran their hands into their chests and three scrolls were pulled out into the light. Taking them, I nodded and the clones dispersed, handing over their memories.
As I sorted through my memories with Yamanaka's technique, I smiled contentedly as I plopped down on the bed - they had managed to stealthily snatch twenty-nine prisoners of varying degrees of integrity right out from under the noses of my comrades and reinforcements!
Orochimaru's summons and the denseness of the forest played a large part in this, allowing them to capture those separated from the group with surprising ease. Granted, only a quarter of them are jonin, but that's a great result when you're pressed for time and have to be careful. I wouldn't mind some fresh bodies either, but unfortunately it's a matter of priorities.
After examining the scrolls and determining that they'd hold up for a couple months, I could get on with more urgent matters than sorting out the prisoners - patching the chakra channels in my arm, which had been corroded by the biju's power.
This was the time to regret that bone armor could not be added to his limbs as well, so as not to lose his natural flexibility and mobility.
Ginkaku's attack was partially on the upper chest, but the result was much weaker than on his right arm - the large concentration of chakra in the bone armor prevented the foreign chakra from penetrating deeper into the body, and I bet if the limb had such protection over the entire surface of the body, it would have lost only the upper layer of tissue without additional consequences.
Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse) is already proving useful in saving my pelt! The only disadvantage of such protection is that it's very visible to the biakugan, but I have so many different seals and things with chakra on my body that overly curious dojutsu wielders won't be able to tell anything apart.
