- This Fuin is an example of the so-called cursed seals and is designed to seal the clan's dojutsu after the Hyuga's death to prevent their enemies from getting their hands on the Byakugan," he replied with a shrug of his shoulders, the information known to all clansmen, "it also serves as a way to control the Hyuga's side branch and can be activated to inflict pain and destroy nerve cells in the brain of the branded, in fact, I've had to deal with the effects of such overly long activations in several Hyuga's while working at the hospital.
- Great, that's exactly what it is," Hizashi took a deep breath before diving in, "then I'd like a detailed examination of my brain and an assessment of the damage done and how it will affect me in the long run.
- No problem, but it's a bit strange to hear such a request from a clan member who's been practicing such a seal for a long time," I raised an eyebrow questioningly, "Hishi-san could do the research just as well as me. If simple iryonins are not too involved in such a delicate area of the human body, then first-degree specialists already have the proper control and experience to avoid accidental harm.
- Such studies have long been conducted by our iryonins, but the clan vault with the relevant documentation is accessible only to the elders and the clan head," Hizashi frowned, clenching his fists tightly, "I made a similar request to Hishi-dono some time after the seal was applied, He straightened his fingers with a visible effort and looked me straight in the eyes. "Only shortly before his death he advised me to 'visit the upstart Nara'," he said, quoting the shinobi in question.
- I grinned, remembering our squabbles on various occasions.
Now, looking from the top of my own experience and strength, I realize that for the old shinobi it was an outlet, a fun game, in which no one remembered me seriously, simply because our weight categories were incommensurable. And even now, I wouldn't risk fighting an ancient shinobi, despite having only recently completed a strength test.
I think Hishi was on Mito-chan's level, and veterans who'd been through clan wars and two world wars could give even Sarutobi a hard time, even if they were almost gone and their strength was far from the same.
The only thing is that even in their old age, iryonin are able to take care of their physical condition much better than other chakra users and fight better than the younger ones.
- But okay, I don't have much time, so I'll get to the point," I snapped out of my reverie. 'A thorough examination won't take more than ten minutes,' Hyuga said as he got up from the table, "and I need to remove your hitai-te.
After waiting for the shinobi to uncomplainingly remove the handkerchief that held the Konoha symbol plate, I placed my medical chakra-covered hands on his head and got to work.
Contrary to expectation, it took me twice as long, as he had obviously recently been subjected to the second function of the cursed seal mentioned earlier and had to clean up the aftermath.
- Well, it's not as bad as it could have been," I said, stepping back from the patient and asking, "How are you feeling?
