Knowing ones self

Youka hated training by himself, it was the most tedious and slow moving thing to ever be done honestly. However it had to be done and there weren't any other people that he knew that was able to train with him in this way. Well he could have used Kozai if he hadn't sent him back to gather more information on Echo if there was even anything that could be gained that Youka and Maku hadn't already figured out. That however wasn't what was on his mind right now, he was pushing more and more into the depths that was medical ninjutsu and with that came various trial and tribulations to reach his goal. The newest jutsu he was creating was something of an extreme medical revelation on his part, it was based off of a jutsu he had read up on from a very old text that was barely legible. He had to honestly figure it out on his own and add in his own parts to make it even functional to his standards.

If this worked out however this would put him one step closer to immortality in its most basic form, it would open up pathways to so much more that he had planned on making if this panned out well. Sitting on the borders before he made his trip to Tenga to fulfill a contract he had taken out, he opened his medical book once more looking down at all of his notes on the human body and in particular his body. He was a medical marvel and he too didn't fully understand how his body worked to the highest degree, he understood how his hearts worked and where they connected to actually keep him alive. The need to eat and sleep however were small and far in between something like a mystery to say the least. Turning a few pages over he found where he had worked on his "patients" Maku, and Kiru. Taking out kidneys was a very interesting foray to get into having to cut into flesh and move out various other organ to reach the one he needed.

This technique however was going to be going into something much more deeper than just taking out organs or moving them around. Hell he had even started transplanting eye balls when the chance rose, it was a thankless job however with his friend not ever really thanking him but instead making light of the entire situation, as if eye surgery was just as easy as skipping rocks across the ocean surface. If only it were ever that easy, hell if life were ever that easy. Honestly his book of his medical adventures would only be of so much help to him in this moment though. Splitting oneself in half wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do, and to his knowledge he didn't know of anyone else in this era that could do the same thing he would be able to do once he mastered this and used it to its full potential. Flipping through four more pages he came across the area that was marked with cell regrowth as that was exactly what was going to happen once he activated this, he was going to forcibly cause all of his cells to copy and paste themselves over again pushing the extra from his own skin out into another well him. More than likely this was going to be a very painful experience as his body would first have to house the duplicating structures and form their own bonds. Another thing that he knew was going to be a pain was an active bone structure forming inside of him....again. Thinking on this now he was not looking forward to actually applying this jutsu on himself, it wasn't going to be a cake walk or as simple as blowing water from his mouth.

It was times like these that he wished he did have Kozai, this was definitely the things that he would be able to help with. When the young man was in his lab he did a very good job of explaining how cells worked and various other things that while Youka was knowledgeable on he wasn't as smart as Kozai was and it showed. All of this body stuff was interesting and it would lead to greater things it was just hard to grasp where to start at on the whole thing. Reading the medical texts while centering his chakra he began focusing and envisioning the split taking place at a very slow but still moving pace. This would more than likely take more than one session to perfect and he would do well to break it up into multiple parts anyways. The strain that would be put on his body for doing this all at once would be far too great. He had put the change into motion by activating the jutsu developmental phase, during the course of him living life and doing his normal activities the jutsu would finish on its own. Youka sighed thinking about it, it honestly felt like he was a surrogate giving birth to something that was not for him, maybe he should have found a way to put this jutsu in a woman instead of himself, it sure would make the pain part that was going to come a lot easier..well for him at least, it would more than likely rip apart anyone else as their bodies wouldn't be able to take his cellular structure.

Deciding it was time to leave he closed his book and moved it back to the inside of his cloak before standing up and brushing himself off. He was now on his way to fulfill a contract that had been set. Now that he thought about it, payment hadn't been negotiated, oh well he figured he would find something of value in Tenga while he was there and again, having a kage in your pocket only had upsides. With that he walked calmly towards the borders whistling a calm tune.
