Chương 116: Cute

By the time we got back to the village, it was already lunchtime.

This time, they ate a simple meal in the village again. Jieluo was not short of money and was not particularly interested in it. After the meal, she parted ways with Mito for the time being. She had enough to keep her busy for a while.

The most important thing for Jieluo right now is to form the Seventh Division, but due to the lack of key research personnel, many things cannot be carried out further. If it is handed over to ordinary people, it would be a waste of time and money.

Therefore, Jyura's daily life right now still revolves around spiritual practice.

As always, they studied the Earthly Grudges and Deceptions.

From a purely medical perspective, the system of Di Yuan Yu taking the heart and transforming it into a heart-shaped mask is essentially an organ transplant.

This will lead to a problem: the body's rejection reaction.

The result is that a normal single-attribute heart is fine and can suppress rejection for a long time, but when it comes to a multi-attribute heart, it becomes a bit of a mess. According to Jie Luo's deduction, the rejection reaction will be extremely intense. If the host's body is weak, then the heart itself will be overwhelmed by the rejection reaction. If the host's body is strong, then the heart mask will be overwhelmed by the rejection reaction.

The first thing to understand is that rejection is an immune response that occurs when the body's immune system recognizes foreign tissues and cells.

It can be simply and directly extracted to eliminate attacks from foreign cells by the body's own cells.

In medicine, organ transplant recipients typically use immunosuppressive drugs for a long period after the procedure to prevent and control the disease. This can lead to a decrease in the recipient's immunity, making them more susceptible to illness.

Jieluo did not have this medicine on hand, and besides, this medicine did not solve the fundamental problem; it was merely a stopgap measure.

Just like the suppression methods of the Earth Grudge, it cannot completely reverse the rejection reaction. According to the predictions based on Jie Luo's observations, after the nature-modified mask is inserted into the body, it will gradually lose more than 50% of the plant functions in the next five to ten years.

Therefore, the solution is obvious: shut down the body's rejection response, which is the body's defense system.

But this is not the end.

This is the ninja world, where there are huge differences between individual ninjas, unlike on Earth where everyone's cellular quality is roughly the same and there is no essential difference.

Under the mutation of chakra, if a ninja's physical condition and cells are strong enough, even a heart with a single attribute can cause a severe rejection reaction.

The individual quality of a cell will determine who wins and who loses in this microscopic cellular battlefield.

For example, the interstitial cells exhibit extremely strong aggressiveness and phagocytic properties; almost no ninja cells can withstand their spontaneous immune attack.

Even though Yura could rely on her immortality, she would never want to have all of her cells devoured by Hashirama's cells, turning into a monster covered in Hashirama's face, where ugliness would be a lifelong thing.

Currently, we have enough resources for dealing with local grievances; further development and research will have to be done step by step.

Therefore, in addition to the repeated practice of swordsmanship, another aspect of Jieluo's training is meditation, silently creating the tentacles of the Earth Grudge within his body to transform his body. Jieluo usually uses his rest time for fragmented training, not even relaxing while eating or walking. When he goes to sleep at night, he dreams of creating the tentacles of the Earth Grudge to quickly build up his combat power.

During this time, I also need to find time to guide Lucy and the others in their training.

Aside from Lucy, who specializes in water-style techniques, the other three—Akane, Terumi Koto, and Tsukihime—are all swordsmen. Among them, Tsukihime's development of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) was intentionally suppressed by Yura. The child was too young, and with the hidden danger of bloodline disease, the more talented she was, the faster she would die, and she couldn't withstand excessive development.

Time passed in meditation, and when it was time for dinner, Mito arrived right on time.

Seeing the family sitting at the table, Mito, ever the social butterfly, sat down and said, "Little Demon, get me another set of chopsticks and a bowl."

"Lucy!" Lucy said, getting up and grabbing a bowl and chopsticks.

Yura glanced at Mito and said, "What brings you here?"

"You're my only friend in Kirigakure. Where else would I go if I didn't come?" Mito said.

"Where are your people?" Jieluo asked.

"They're not children who need taking care of," Mito said.

"Of course they're doing chores for me."

Just then, Lucy ran back, and Mito took the bowl and chopsticks, saying, "You treat your subordinates quite well." He took a bite of the food Lucy had cooked with his chopsticks, and his face immediately scrunched up.

It tastes awful...

"Who made this?" Mito asked.

Lucy raised her hand and looked at Mito.

"Didn't anyone tell you it tasted bad?"

Lucy lowered her head, looking dejected.

Zhu Yin said, "The teacher said that once you've done something, you can't waste it!"

"..." Mito said with some surprise, "You're really frugal. I didn't expect you to have this side to you."

Right then and there, I picked up my chopsticks and started eating.

"Is something the matter, Mito?" Yura asked.

"It's okay, is it not allowed?" Mito replied.

After a moment of silence, Jieluo said, "It's not impossible."

"With so many people in your family, I suggest you hire a housekeeper," Mito said.

"My Momo is very capable."

"What do you mean?" Mito asked.

"How about I bring Momo over to stay?" Mito said with a smile, "It'll be more lively with more people."

"You're the one who wanted to come and stay, right?" Zhu Yin suddenly stood up and said loudly, staring intently at Mito. She couldn't stand Mito's clingy behavior towards the teacher.

She realized that if she moved in, the teacher wouldn't have much time to pay attention to her anymore.

My teacher must not be taken away!

"Is it not allowed, little one?" Mito blinked at Akane and said, "Just tell me what's wrong."

"6

"Of course there's a problem!" Zhu Yin said, "Now that you're here, you're always bothering the teacher. What about my cultivation?"

Mito nodded in realization and said, "Oh, I see. Then I can teach you too. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm very skilled with my sword."

""

"Is that so...? Teach me?" Zhu Yin lowered her head and considered for a while, and finally sat back down without saying a word.

Mikoto rolled her eyes.

"Don't just agree on behalf of the teacher, you idiot!"

Lucy and Tsukihime didn't care and kept shoveling food into their mouths. They were at the age when they were growing and got hungry easily.

"I feel like you have some other motive..." Yura smiled slightly and looked at Mito.

Mito smiled and said, "How could that be? I didn't mean anything by it." Her eyes were fixed on Yura.

You know, Jieluo is very cute, just like a doll, small and soft. Just sitting and looking at her is pleasing to the eye.

It's hard not to want to cuddle, hug, and lift them up high.

However, Jieluo himself is far too dangerous. Even if you have ideas, it's best not to put them into action, or people will die.

"Is that so..." In terms of simply strengthening the alliance, Jieluo said, "I have no objection. If you want to stay, then stay."

"That's wonderful." Mito naturally reached out, ready to put her arm around Yura and give her a hug.

Yura Lightning raised a hand and slapped away Mito's outstretched hand.

Both hands froze in mid-air as Mito and Yura stared at each other.

"What are you doing?" Jieluo asked.

"It's nothing," Mito blinked.

So cute!

Mito is not someone who gives up easily; the more you try to stop her, the more she insists.
