Hospital Blues

Sumiko seemed to be intensely interested in different bloodlines and kekkei genkai, evident by her series of questions. Upon some reflection her face appeared deep in thought. She proposed a particular way to synchronize the blood affinity Guren naturally had with his acquire Shikotsumyaku. And interestingly enough, it was a solid idea. Clearly she had the wheels turning in her head, and the mind of her mother. Guren smiled softly, "That is a very interesting concept Sumiko. Something I have worked on with just blood release but incorporating the Shikotsumyaku into it is a feat that I just may try. Keep that mind of yours sharp." Guren would say, proud of the advanced comprehension she seemed to have.

And with that, Guren would again turn back to Daiki and proceed with beginning the surgery. But before he did so, he could tell that the nerves of Daiki were beginning to flare up. Looking the genin in the eye, Guren would utter few words, "Daiki, this will be easier than you think."

And so he began with simply numbing the area on Daiki's side. From there he'd calmly insert the chakra scalpel infused hand into Daiki's side. It would painlessly penetrate his side and approach Daiki's kidney. Now he would activate his Ketsuryugan, giving him a clear view of the blood flow throughout Daiki's body, and essentially map its pathway to and from Daiki's major organs. Through this he could clearly discern the location of Daiki's kidney. Slowly and carefully, Guren would maneuver to the organ. Once close enough he'd begin severing the attaching tissues and fibers from the kidney. Softly grabbing ahold of the kidney, Guren would begin to retract his hand from Daiki's body. Simultaneously his other hand would perform a series of seals and apply a degree of healing to Daiki's side. Now it was numb, it was being healed so that his body was stabilized. In one quick swoop, Guren would slide his hand out from Daiki's side, holding the fresh kidney. He'd take a second to show it off to Daiki and Sumiko with a somewhat cynical look on his face, before plopping it into the unlabeled jar. Dipping that same hand into the jar marked "Hiyu", Guren would grab ahold of the kidney here, and aim for Daiki's body cautiously. Within an instant Guren's hand had returned to the void in Daiki's body, placing the new kidney in the exact same place as the old old had been. With his mystical palm healing the area, the surrounding tissue and fiber would reattach to the new kidney, accepting the transplant. Seeing all of this unfold, Guren would pull his hand back out of Daiki's body and continue with the chakra expulsion via mystical palm. Within moments, Daiki would be back to normal having not felt a thing and only slightly woozy.

"Quick and painless, right? How do you feel?" He would ask as he walked back towards the sink to wash his hands. When he'd conclude this, he'd return to the jars, fasten both lids upon then, then weave several seals to transport the jars into his storage displacement dimension.

Upon hearing the relaxing words Guren Daiki started to relax a bit as he felt a numbness start to run across his body thanks to the effects of the chakra anesthetic. He couldn't even feel the cut as Guren began operating on his body though he refused to look down and observe Guren as he didn't know how he'd be able to take watching someone remove his own kidney. He laid there and did nothing to stop the effect of the anesthesia from providing a consistent numbing relief along his body as he noticed Guren hold up his own kidney for the two Genin to see. While it wasn't as shocking of a reaction as he felt it should have been it was still strange staring at his just removed kidney. The anesthesia was acting as a calming agent, though, as his only reaction to seeing it was to take slow and steady breaths and relax upon that slowly warming up operating table. It wouldn't be long before Guren started to commence the second half of the procedure and transfer the Hiyu kidney into his body. Thanks to the Senju cells within Daiki's body his healing came at a quicker pace even though his chakra was completely relaxed. The cuts his body sustained that would've severed blood vessel connections and muscle sinew were kept clean and clotted mainly due to Guren's medical expertise as well as Daiki's healing factor.

After a little bit more time Guren took a step back giving the indication that he was done as Daiki could feel a bit woozy but his Senju traits were kicking in for that as well causing the remaining effects of the anesthesia to leave his body quickly. Even the incision that had been made into his side was healed so perfectly there wasn't even a scar. "Yes, my lord. Quick and painless if not a bit unpleasant just thinking about it." He sat up on the table and took a look at the spot where the cut had been made to find that it was completely healed. He wasn't all that surprised by that fact. He chalked it mainly up to Guren's healing capabilities but for as long as he could remember he had always been able to get through cuts and bruises with quicker than other kids or people he hung out with. After observing the spot for a time he remembered what Guren had said earlier about the benefits that came with the Hiyu DNA as he looked over to Guren and pondered. "So that's it? I can... um... 'weaponize' parts of my body now? How do I do that?"

He would try to focus his chakra into his arms and he noticed the tiniest shift in his skin's hardness, the color of his flesh darkening slightly, before his skin transformed back to normal. He tried concentrating again but nothing happened as he felt his body needed to get used to the change before he could utilize the changes himself. He sighed as he took his shirt and put it back on before standing up from the table but stumbling due to his legs turning jelly for a moment as he used the table to support himself.

"Excellent," Guren began. "I hope the both of you were able to pay attention to what I had done and the description I provided. Though transplants aren't for everyone, it is a staple of Sunagakure iryojutsu. Our village's policies on non-vital transplants are much more open minded than any other's. Largely due to the first Kazekage. Nevertheless, you may find yourselves in the heat of battle and techniques you have witnessed today could save a life." Guren said with his voice slyly trailing off. Of course he would model the lesson behind good principles and necessity. But any shinobi with even a degree of potential in the medical field should be able to see the string of opportunities that something like this could lead to. Even if those opportunities were lucrative.

As Daiki took time to observe himself, and Sumiko taking a moment to look over Daiki, Guren would walk over to the corner of the room and take a seat. Calmly he'd wait for an inevitable question from one of the two genin, and the first to break the silence was Daiki. As inquisitive as he was, he was not very eloquent with his question. Chuckling to himself, Guren would clear his throat and respond. 

"Awakening that new bloodline will take time. Right now your body is in a recuperative state. When it's fully restored to its fighting state, I suggest spending time in the training grounds and pushing your body to its limits. Maybe focusing on Taijutsu will cause the bloodline to awaken and reveal its potential to you. But how you go about it is truly up to you. When you awaken it and begin to master it, please come back and see me. I'd love to learn more of the Hiyu. Now with that being said, any final questions?"

After all was said and done, what with Guren dismissing the two and Sumiko taking her leave, Daiki hopped up off the table and gave a bow to Guren as he adjusted his shirt to make certain it was on correctly. "Thank you again for the operation and lesson, Lord Guren. With your permission I'll take my leave." With that said he would give one last bow before turning to the door and walking out of it into the hall that led to the entrance. 'Well then... I guess I have my time cut out for me. I need to get to training else I'll waste this gift the Kazekage gave me.' His thoughts filled with positive outcomes of how his next few days of training would go as he made his way out of the entrance of the hospital and thought about how to proceed with the rest of his day. "Maybe I should go celebrate with some food." He walked down the path towards the bustling street of the village and made his way to one of his favorite BBQ restaurants. Training could wait for one more day at least. Today would be all about fun.

With the two genin confirming that they had no more questions. it would seem as if today's business had been concluded. Guren was happy to know that each of them had received some valuable lessons today. From their files he was aware that both were either interested in the iryojutsu field, or had connections to it. And so today was supposed to be a nice learning opportunity for the two of them. And for himself, another experiment. Just as he had performed experiments on other genin, namely Yusuke, today's was one that could prove itself to be quite useful as well. Daiki, showing interest in the field of Taijutsu, had been the recipient of a bloodline transplant known to be experts at Taijutsu. Should he be able to unlock its potential, his own power would magnify significantly. Guren would lean forward in his chair and grab ahold of the journal which resided on the counter adjacent to him. Within it contained documentation of all of the transplants that he had performed to date. With each successful surgery and transplant, Guren's knowledge of transplants, organs, and kekkei genkai had been on a path that he hadn't imagined before. 

Scribbling in his journal, he'd close it shut and tuck it back within the confines of a pocket on his yukata. He'd stand from the chair, and begin to proceed to exit the room he worked in. Now with Sumiko and Daiki gone, he'd shut the door and lock it. The Kazekage proceeded down the long corridor towards the waiting room and continue out from the building. Normally, he'd return to the Spire. Yet today in particular, he'd seek the Library. His interest lied in doing some investigation on the organs he had. And what better way to do that than in a place of immense curriculum? Besides, how else would he reach the level of a Kenshin caliber iryojutsu specialist?
