Preparation
“Here are the samples I’ve managed to collect,”
Suigetsu’s pale hands held out a small pouch as he grumbled, “It was a lot harder than you implied, medicine freak.”
Kabuto rolled his onyx eyes as he hissed, “About time! Lord Orochimaru has been breathing down my neck about this taking too long.”
Suigetsu shrugged as he asked, “So what exactly did you need me to stalk people for? I felt like such a creep.”
Kabuto’s eyes narrowed behind his round glasses as he pulled his medical gloves over his fingers, “Lord Orochimaru discovered a jutsu that may allow us to create artificial life, so we must build him a new suitable vessel.”
Suigetsu nodded as he poured himself a glass of water from the nearby medical sink, “So how does this work?”
Kabuto sighed as he looked down at the list in his hand before grumbling, “Hand me the female sample I asked you to collect.”
Suigetsu nodded as he took a small vile of blood from the bag and handed it to Kabuto, “The girl trains quite a lot, you were lucky her training partner had accidentally got her good. That should be plenty for a few experiments, right? I don’t want to have to go get more, I hate going to Sunagakure.”
Kabuto rolled his eyes as he examined the vile, “I should be able to get five tries from this, if we still can’t get it after that we may need to conduct further research.”
Suigetsu watched curiously as Kabuto took out five small vials and poured and even amount of blood into each one. With a small smirk, Kabuto then placed three of the vials into a small chest before placing the remaining two onto a scroll. His eyes widened as he watched Kabuto perform a number of hand seals before the blood began to glow. As the glow dimmed, the blood became lavender in colour.
“The base is ready, now we just need to add the rest of the dna. It should be receptive to the other samples now.”
Suigetsu nodded as he asked, “Which samples do you want? I couldn’t get much for most of the other samples, I mean some of those guys have probably never bleed in their lives.”
Kabuto raised a brow as he said, “You can pick the combination for this one, I will try to see the limits of what this can handle. I will take some of each sample and place it into this one, you pick four of the samples to place into that one.”
Suigetsu smirked as he looked at all the vials in front of him and wondered how to make the best kid. He closed his eyes and quickly grabbed the first vial his hand touched. His smirk fell as he read the label, ‘Aburame Shino’. Looking back at his other options, his smirk returned as he decided to mix the blood of some ninja that used helping hands that were part of them during battle. He quickly grabbed two more vials labelled, ‘Inuzuka Kiba’ and ‘Sabaku no Gaara’. Suigetsu shrugged as he dumped the contents of the vials into the first one as he saw Kabuto do a moment before. His eyes widened as he watched Kabuto proform similar hand signs as before causing both vials to glow bright blue before slowly fading into a pale red.
“So now what happens Kabuto?”
Kabuto gently took both vials into his hands as he said, “I place one into the large tank and this one can wait. Once we observe the results of the full mixed tube, then we will try the one you mixed. This test will determine how we proceed.”
Suigetsu nodded as he asked, “How long until we know?”
Kabuto gently poured the contents of his vial into the large tank and sealed it shut before performing more hand signs. He placed his hands against the glass causing the tank to glow with a light green colour before the light dimmed returning to its previous bluish hue.
