A Mixed Blessing (Hyde, Kiyogi, PRIVATE)

After some time had passed from when he was engaged in constructing his puppet armor after finally finishing his finalized write-up of its blueprints, Hyde came across news that the Chunin Exams were being held in a far-off place known as "O'uzu Island". From this news, he also learned that this location was supposed to be a temporarily neutral zone to ensure the smooth progress of said rank-up exams for all participants involved in it.

Hmm, this is typically not my fancy...but it could be an invaluable learning opportunity to gather field data on the participants for future use as leverage or for some other purpose...Very well, the matter is settled, then...I shall go and spectate the exams, or whatever is remaining of them since I seem to have missed out on the initial portion of these...

With this silent reverie running through his mind, Hyde quickly readied himself for his departure to the destination he had in mind, aka "O'uzu Island". Little did he know that he would not be allowed to spectate at said exams since he would end up being kidnapped and subjected to some rather high-stakes experimentation by a certain infamous mad scientist from a certain renegade organization.

For the hidden one this was all nothing new to him. He kept to the shadows and the distance. His mask hiding his chakra from those with sensory while his armor and cloak hid him from vision easily enough. Blending into his surroundings as any good ANBU trained assassin may. However he was on the hunt. His organs had been in storage for some time and now, now he needed something of an experiment to do. To see what combinations would suit him. However kidnapping someone participating in the exams wouldn't do him any good. It would draw too much attention. However a bystander with potential was different. Someone who on appearance alone stood out in some way. Who traveled alone and unsupervised without being a hard target. His mask was special in that it blocked all forms of sensory from detecting him including the byakugan. However he wouldn't have to search too long. A specimen styled like a scientist would appear to be traveling alone without supervision or any company. Alone and far enough from the populace that kidnapping would be simple enough. And in proximity to his makeshift laboratory. Kiyogi would study Hyde from a distance for a while. 

From what he could tell from watching, this one was a special Hyuga variation. His gold eyes were unique in such a way that Kiyogi was eager to study them. He would move quickly in pursuit. Closing the distance as the young man had crossed into a zone without any population near enough to intervene. Still he would send out ten bees to patrol around for anyone he had missed. Still as he would move he would pull a syringe from his belt. Injecting a dose of surgeons gift to get it ready for his rapid surgery into the artery in his neck. Finished with that he would perform a tiger hand seal and utilize the hidden in camo technique. When combined with his armor and mask it erased his presence completely to anything under S rank perception. Maintaining the tiger seal once he got within 150 meters he would cast Temple of Nirvana with his S rank intelligence. For Hyde it would appear as if white feathers began to fall and blanket the area around him. However this was to lure him to sleep even as Kiyogi rapidly closed the distance. The young man would barely feel the prick of the needle as Kiyogi would while maintaining invisibility inject his arm with titanium might. A drug he used for more successful surgeries. 

Drug countdown 1/6:

Hyde had been going to where the Chunin exams were supposedly being held. As he walked along slowly while taking in the sights, he got lost in his thoughts and started to second-guess his preparations for this journey.

Hmm...Perhaps not requesting an escort was a poor strategic choice given that I am in a foreign land...but surely, since this is supposedly a neutral zone...it should be safe enough to wander about unsupervised...

At that moment, as if to correct his assumptions about his surroundings, white feathers began to fall from the sky, causing him to look up at them and unwittingly get caught up in the powerful Genjutsu attack made against him without his being aware of it. Then, he heard what sounded faintly like some insects buzzing around followed by what felt like a faint pinprick somewhere on his body while a strangely strong urge to fall asleep slowly began to take hold of him.

Kiyogi would pass by the young man after he injected him. Had this been an assassination attempt it likely would have been mission successful right then and there. Still it would be an interesting trade off to obtain the ever elusive and famed Byakugan. Even if it cost him some of his collection he wouldn't find it a loss. Still he would clear twenty meters to avoid any hasty attacks from the famed close ranged specialists hyuga clan. If this one was capable of something troublesome like rotation he wouldn't want to get caught up in it. However his genjutsu was still in play and he could see it taking effect. His chakra infecting that of his target gradually as he knew the white coated street around the young man was claiming his conscious mind. As far as kidnapping went this was going off without a hitch. At least he would hope so. His attention would shift to their surroundings. Always wary of others even with his ten bee's circling around. This was no simple slight against Konoha. He was kidnapping one of theirs and harvesting one of their organs. Even if this one survived the experience....they would not smile upon this action.

Still he would settle around the edge of a doorway and maintain his jutsu for the time being with one hand on the hilt of his lightning sword. Scanning the rooftops for any back up. This minor nation likely didn't have any sensory defenses but he could never be too careful. He would quietly wait for his target to drop and pass out before moving to collect his sleeping form. He only had to transport him a block or two but that left variables. Still for the experiment he was willing to risk a great deal. He always had his coin on him as a last nuclear option if need be. 

All jutsu maintained

Moments after he first fell under the soporific effects of the blizzard of white feathers that seemed to be raining down from the sky, Hyde felt the strong urge to sleep finally take hold of him fully, causing him to collapse to the ground where he stood at last. Then, as his eyelids grew too heavy to keep open and he was on the verge of falling into a comatose state, he thought he noticed what seemed to be the faint outline of someone some distance away from him.

Wh...is...

Alas, he could not even complete that final thought, let alone do anything to defend himself against whatever was going to happen to him next. Instead, he merely lay there insensate to anything else that might happen to him, causing him to be completely unaware that he would soon be collected and transported elsewhere.

Kiyogi would patiently await the effects of his genjutsu to take place. A Hyuga was a potent physical specimen and a unique one in any case. One of the only bloodlines that affected only the eyes. Not to mention it was said that the byakugan was all seeing. Perhaps he would even take it upon himself as a sort of Psuedo sensory substitute. Once the target would finally collapse and the genjutsu would finish Kiyogi would form a hand seal and a glob of wax would seem to melt off him. Shifting to either side of him before taking on human form and then mimicking his usual appearance mask included. The wax clones were mere physical tools with minimal chakra to utilize them. Not large enough to attract much attention despite that A rank genjutsu. His target was out cold and the two masked figures would pick him up under each arm before they would drag him off. Taking him to the lab. Kiyogi not far behind while still hidden. 

The clones would take him into a sterilized basement. A plastic curtain around a surgery table with the temperature down there kept cold to fight off bacteria. The clones would use leather straps to strap the unconscious man to the table. Kiyogi himself would set to washing up for the procedure. Standing outside the sterilized space on the other side of a nearly transparent curtain. Once all four limbs and his neck would be strapped down tightly The Wax clones would retreat but not leave further than the other side of the curtain. Standing still and on the ready. This was a kidnapping victim after all. Even should he wake and break out of his restraints somehow they would be quick to assault him. The host body being the important one to save. At all costs. 


Drugs post 3/6

Throughout the time he was being carried off to whatever destination his mysterious assailant wanted to take him to, Hyde remained unconscious due to the effects of the potent Genjutsu that had been cast on him by the assailant. However, after a while, he felt his consciousness return ever so briefly due to the faint sensation of cold metal pressing against his back and some restraint device lying against his neck and his limbs.

Wh...go...on...ca...mo...

Hyde tried to form coherent thoughts to start analyzing his situation, but alas, he was unsuccessful due to the stupor that had him in its clutches. To exacerbate his crisis, the strain of forcing his brain to form the thoughts was enough to knock him back into a completely unconscious state again.

Kiyogi would turn his attention to the table at murmurings before the subject drifted back out. It was impressive willpower to push back from the genjutsu so far. However it was futile it would seem. Not enough to genjutsu Kai himself free. Not enough to prevent the theft of his precious eye even if it was to be replaced. To Kiyogi this seemed like a fair trade but Konoha would likely see differently. Still it was almost time to proceed. The chemical balance of the drugs would be kicking in soon and his opportune time would be in those precious minutes. Still he would prepare the organ as he pulled a jar free from a cooling container with a heart in it. He wondered if this would be more potent for the young subject or even if it would change him. Something as important as replacing a heart would be stress inducing to most. However for Kiyogi it was just another procedure. Still it wouldn't be long before his subject would awaken. He would quietly preform the fission technique as he split himself in two. With a nod to himself he would set about preparing the proper tools for the surgery.

As the events around him proceeded along without him being aware of them, Hyde experienced several more moments of consciousness, only to be drawn back into his comatose state a split second afterward each time. Thus, he could never regain enough mastery over his mental faculties to fight off the Genjutsu-induced stupor that continued to lay heavy upon him, keeping him in that same defenseless state while his mysterious assailant continued his plans. Little did he know that all this was leading up to his unexpected loss of one of his Byakugan eyes and his unexpected gain of some other bloodline trait as part of a bigger experimental study by said assailant.

Kiyogi could finally feel the drugs kicking in. They were nearly to the point where they would take full effect. His intelligent mind would seem to take on a whole new prospect. Already his ability to process thought ascended beyond human limits. Typically the passive perceptive abilities of a person picks up thousands of details but the mind only processes so many at once. With his level of perception there wasn't a detail he could miss and his mind processed them all. Him and his assistant would move to place a mask over the boys face attached to a hose plugged into a tank of sleeping gas. Sending measured amounts to keep the patient stable but under. An additional measure since he seemed to be fighting the genjutsu. However limited it may be if he was able to gain consciousness enough to realize he was having an eye replaced the shock of it could produce unexpected results. Still once it was on they waited for the count of thirty seconds before starting. Cleaning the chest area and preparing with a surgery cloth and a measure of life support. He could process the heart transplant and the eye transplant all at once as the eye was a normal eye as far as transplants were concerned. He wouldn't even have a scar when it was done and likely wouldn't notice until he tried to use byakugan. Kiyogi had taken care to match the eye color after all. Still for now he would start by removing the eye and cutting open just below the sternum to prepare the heart transplant.

drug post 5/6

Hyde started to experience another bout of brief consciousness and tried once more to fight off the Genjutsu that had him in its clutches. However, it was futile again since he felt the onslaught of another soporific agent beyond the Genjutsu flooding his body thanks to his assailant. Consequently, he succumbed to his unconscious stupor once more, leaving him unable to not only fight off whatever his mysterious assailant was doing to him presently but also to sense his surroundings even in the slightest. Thus, he lay unconscious on the surgery table and at the mercy of said assailant as the surgical procedure progressed steadily toward its foregone conclusion.

Surgery Post: 1/2 (No Implants Yet)

As the drugs would fully kick in Tadara would feel as if the limitations of the mind and the world it showed him would fall away. He was beyond human intelligence now. He and himself would set about their work. First they would remove the subjects eye. A valuable Byakugan. Next they would sterilize the chest and collect the heart. Injecting the blast implant with the bonding agent before setting about removing the subjects heart. Rapidly setting about the surgery and keeping the blood flowing with a life support pump. It took a matter of seconds to efficiently remove the arteries with clean cuts with chakra scalpels and suck up the blood with hoses. The new heart would be placed and with a series of medical ninjutsu sealed to the proper arteries and made to pump on its own.

The eye would be replaced with one made to match its color and reconnected to the vision matrix before it too would be healed until there was nothing to show an operation had been performed. Once finished the Wax clones would drag the subject from the room before Tadara would place the Byakugan in the liquid the heart had been kept in in a jar and seal it. A valuable trade and one he would be watching for. He would fuse back with himself before the wax clones would return. They would quietly set about igniting the now empty building before evacuating and leaving no evidence. With luck the subject would wake up where he fell and feel lightheaded from some lost blood but nothing else until the activated the byakugan. With it finished he would dismiss his wax clones and quietly leave the building as it began to burn down. Leaving the confines of the village behind for the time being. Intent on watching how the implant took from a distance.
