Looking at the deformed clones floating in the nutrition tank, Kuroto can't help but cry tears of blood.
"The genes of the Uchiha Clan are poison!" – Muttered Kuroto in helplessness. In the previous few weeks, Kuroto has been able to collect cells of more than a dozen Uchiha, including Itachi and Sasuke, of course with Shisui's help, and even asked Shinichi to send his cells, which he complied with and did.
After obtaining these cells, Kuroto again carried out several gene fusion experiments, which consumed a lot of his time, energy, and resources, finally three samples survived the fusion process and were embedded in the cultivation nutrition tank for the development.
After obtaining three samples that fused successfully, Kuroto thought that at least one of these samples will develop into a good enough clone, that Kuroto will be able to use as his Fire Nature clone, but reality taught him a cruel lesson.
All three samples developed into deformed bodies.
The first body has its body parts distorted, all facial features and limbs are misaligned as well…
The second one has developed into a fat lump of meatball with multiple limbs, eyes, mouth, and nose sprouting off from all over the body, but no bone within it whatsoever!
The third has three heads, each head with three eyes, a flat nose, and a mouth that doesn't seem to have lips at all, moreover, there are four sets of arms, but just a single leg to complement that.
Looking at the three clones that looked more horrifying than monsters, Kuroto could only sigh helplessly.
This series of experiments and clone creation cost him a lot, much more than the initial budget limit Kuroto set for creating the Fire Nature Clone, but even after tens of thousands of attempts, not even a single clone came out which Kuroto can determine as good enough.
And he can't continue to keep doing the experiments any longer as that would not only consume too many funds a lot of his time and efforts with not even a certain 0.0001% chance of success.
'Sigh, and here I thought that my and Shisui's genes are incompatible, never did I expect that my genes are completely incompatible with the entire Uchiha Clan, in fact, my and Shisui's genes turn out to be somewhat compatible based on the one clone that developed successfully even though its gender changed to that of a female!' – Kuroto sighed with emotions as his gaze shifted towards one of the large nutrition tanks at the corner of this laboratory.
This large nutrition tank obviously contains the female clone which was submerged in the green medicinal water to maintain a proper supply of necessary nutrition.
Walking towards the Clone, Kuroto mulled over the thought; whether he should use this female clone or not.
There is no doubt that by looks of the clone the Hyuga genes are dominant, as the appearance is that of a typical Hyuga Kunoichi.
As a traditional shinobi clan, the males of the Hyuga Clan are all well-groomed and mannered individuals, while the females are mostly elegant, dignified, and somewhat soft by nature, this is the case with almost all of the Hyuga clansmen.
The Hyuga genetics are obviously very good, so the appearance of the Hyuga Clansmen are generally good, of course, Kuroto is no exception to this, as his looks rivaled Kakashi during their academy years, and has only got better ever since all his gene combinations activated.
And the Uchiha Clan is not much different either, the males are mostly sharp and domineering, and because of the passive effects of Sharingan, their eyes are generally piercing by nature, and their natural aura is cold.
Coincidently enough, the female clone in the large nutrition tank combines the good aspects of both the Uchiha and the Hyuga, it has the elegant and dignified appearance of a Hyuga Kunoichi while there is also that sharpness, coldness, and unapproachable aura of a typical Uchiha.
For this reason, the female clone exudes an extremely heroic, noble, elegant, and proud temperament.
Well, all that aside, Kuroto is still unable to figure out just what could be the reason that the clone turned into a female instead of a male, after all, the chromosome pair that defines the gender of a person should obviously be that of a male, as both him and Shisui are males, but still the clone turned into a woman.
There is a guess in his mind; however, Kuroto is not sure whether that is actually true or not, in terms of their most general relation to one another, Yin represents the female, while Yang represents the male, and since this clone still has too much yin chakra even after Kuroto washed it out, so it's possible that too much yin chakra probably caused a mutation in the gene structure of the bud and henceforth, changed its gender.
It is just a guess, and there is no solid evidence to prove whether this theory is correct or not.
And Kuroto also can't figure out what sort of impact will this female clone have in his big project.
And next is the matter of stats of this clone.
Because the sample cells use to cultivate this clone were severely damaged, so its basic stats are not very good, at least not as good as the Suijin Clone.
This also means that the difficulty of training this clone will be much higher than that of Suijin Clone.
This is the second reason why Kuroto had a certain sense of rejection towards this clone, but now that he is left with no other choice due to repeated failures so Kuroto has to go with the female clone.
The repeated failures have also made him understand that he can't touch Yin and Yang chakra Nature so early, with his current knowledge, experience, or the extent of technical means he has access to at the moment.
With that understood, Kuroto took out the female clone from the nutrition tank and placed it on the test bench.
After recording all the physical measurements, and body stats, Kuroto used Tenseigan Soul Descend and transferred his soul into the female clone body without much hesitation.
As soon as his main body's eyelids closed, the female clone lying on the test bench opened her eyes.
At the start, Kuroto felt a bit strange, the feeling was a bit different, Kuroto ignored this feeling for now and proceeded to slowly get up from the test bench.
Took a while and Kazekage puppet's support, but he or I guess she, for now, managed to get up.
A few check-ups, body stretches, and coordinative movements later; Kuroto walked towards the mirror and observed the body, he was, of course, naked and observed all the muscle movements of this body in the mirror to get familiar with it.
By now he has also understood why did he feel slightly different, it's because of the extra weight of a pair of breasts that he was unfamiliar with up to now, and some of the other parts that are different in females compared to males.
All that aside, what surprised Kuroto was the coordinative system of this body, he did not feel any opposition while transferring his soul which was unusual, as there is slight resistance at the start. This clone seems very much capable of adapting to his soul.
But it's also not surprising at the same time, as the gender of a body has nothing to do with its adaptability to a soul, this can easily be proven from the fact that Orochimaru also once transferred his soul into a female body during the Konoha Crush Arc and even fought against Sandaime Hokage at that time, and the rest is already known.
As such, it can be concluded that the gender of a body has nothing to do with its compatibility with a soul.
Putting aside those thoughts, Kuroto continued carrying out the auditory and coordinative movements.
After he felt that basic movements were no longer a problem, Kuroto focused on his eyes.
When his soul was not transferred to this body, the pair of eyes was just a collection of cells, in simple words, they were semifinished, as was the case with Suijin Clone.
He was also surprised even after transferring his soul to this clone there was not much change in the eyes in the deactivated state, they are pretty much the same as Suijin's pair of Byakugan. This was again quite unexpected.
After all, both Uchiha and Hyuga are clans with dojutsu type Kekkei Genkai, so Kuroto expected a bit of mutation.
"Surprisingly, Uchiha genes did not have any effects on the Byakugan." – But upon thinking a little, this is also normal, after all, the ratio of Hyuga and Uchiha cells present in this clone is 99:1, and Hyuga bloodline is no weaker than Uchiha, therefore, the chances of mutation are a bit small.
Then Kuroto muttered in distress, "I don't know whether this clone body will be able to bear the burden of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"
This is another issue, and Kuroto doesn't seem to have a solution to solve this problem yet.
"I guess I will try to create one more Fire nature Clone in the future, but before I improve my knowledge and other means to be able to do so, let's develop this clone."
Kuroto feels that he should be prepared in advance.
While developing this Clone, he is also going to improve his knowledge and other means and see if he can create one more clone.
