Before he could finish his sentence, Hyōjin reacted himself. His face darkened as he muttered, "That guy is a pig to begin with!"
The poison sac in the snake's carcass was a lethal poison to wild beasts that did not know how to use Chakra. The small wild boar that ran away did not have Chakra flowing in its body at all, so it would definitely die if it ate the snake's carcass!
However, whether it was the snake poisoning the pig or the pig eating the snake, it was all part of the natural cycle.
Hyōjin did not have the time to care about such trivial matters, so after he put away the poison sac that he had just obtained, he immediately searched for other poisons.
After a morning of hard work, Hyōjin had collected more than ten poison sacs and poison glands of poisons.
After returning with a full load, he bought some white mice from the market on the way.
The configuration of a compound poison was not as simple as mixing all the poisons together.
Different poisons had different properties. Mixing them randomly would sometimes not only not increase the toxicity, but it would also neutralize some of the toxicity, reducing the lethality of the poison.
Therefore, compound poisons often required a lot of data support from live experiments before they could be concocted.
Concoction …
Experiment …
Record …
For almost the entire afternoon, Hyōjin was meticulously busy with these things.
However, the results were not satisfactory.
The toxicity of the poisons in the Forest of Death was slightly weaker. They could not even kill the white mice in an instant, let alone the ninjas with Chakra.
However, Hyōjin was not completely without gains. At least he found that the poison of a moth had a strong paralyzing effect, while the poison of a scorpion had the effect of speeding up blood circulation.
If these two poisons were mixed together, it could almost instantly paralyze the white mice that were used as test subjects.
However, Hyōjin had no clue how to combine these two poisons into one without damaging them. Also, what was the limit of this compound poison? Could it deal with powerful ninjas? Further experiments were needed to find out the answer to these questions.
In the evening, Ring came to Hyōjin's house with hot food.
Seeing the white mice that were tossed around by Hyōjin, she asked in surprise, "Kuroto, what are you doing?"
Hyōjin carefully recorded the poisoning reaction of these white mice and replied casually, "I'm studying the poison!"
Today, Hyōjin did not hide anything about studying the poison. From going to the Forest of Death in the morning to buying white mice in the market at noon, the whole process was carried out openly.
Ring squatted beside Hyōjin and asked in a low voice, "Are some poisons really useful?"
Like the traditional Hyōjin, Ring has a natural rejection towards poisons, but after all, she is a ninja who has experienced war. She understands that as long as one can win on the battlefield, all means are reasonable!
Hyōjin said with a smile, "Of course it is useful. Maybe this poison can save my life in the next mission."
After making the records, Hyōjin simply cleaned up and ate the food with Ring.
In addition to sending food to Hyōjin this time, Ring also brought him a message, that is, Richa's request to meet.
Richa has a great influence in the Hyuga Clan and is also the person responsible for the daily communication between the clan and the village. Hyōjin naturally can't refuse his request to meet.
At night, in an Izakaya.
Richa looked at Hyōjin and said with a gentle smile, "Why do you want to meet here?"
Hyōjin casually said, "I am now a subordinate of Naruto's Anbu, so I have to keep some distance from the clan as much as possible. This is good for both the clan and me."
The real reason is naturally because he is afraid of exposing the Tenseigan. After all, there are many people coming and going in the clan land, and it is not guaranteed that some clansman will suddenly activate the Byakugan.
And the appointment to meet in the Izakaya and chat privately, Richa naturally will not activate the Byakugan here for no reason, so the probability of the Tenseigan being exposed is greatly reduced.
In fact, this is just Hyōjin being too cautious.
In fact, because of the x-ray ability of the Byakugan, the Hyuga people in the village are generally very careful and will not easily activate the Byakugan. After all, activating the Byakugan is also a kind of spying on the ninjas of the same village, and no one likes to be spied on by others.
Hyōjin is just talking nonsense, but Richa nodded and said, "Well, you are right to think this way, the village's top leaders are very wary of us rich and powerful families."
There is no doubt that some of the recent arrangements made by the village against Uchiha have also caused the uneasiness of the Hyuga Clan.
Hyōjin did not say much on this sensitive issue, and directly asked: "Richa -sama, what can I do for you to meet me this time?"
Richa requested: "Next month, the village will launch a vote of confidence for the promotion of Jonin."
Under normal circumstances, when a Special Jonin is promoted to a Jonin, it is necessary to pass a small-scale vote of confidence, so Richa's appointment with Hyōjin this time is to canvass votes.
Hizashi-sama then said, "There is a very senior Tokubetsu Jonin participating in this promotion, and you are now a member of the Anbu Anbu of the Hokage, so you have the right to vote, so I hope that you can contribute to the family in this matter."
After listening to Richa's request, Hyōjin smiled happily: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
At this moment, Kuroto deeply realized the change in his status. When he was a Chunin during the war, he was not even qualified to come into contact with these things, let alone participate in them.
And now, as a powerful family, the Hyuga Clan also has something to ask of him.
Of course, the reason why he agreed so happily is also selfishness.
Unlike the domineering Uchiha, the Hyuga Clan is much more low-key and calm, so their reputation in the village is much better than that of Uchiha. Many Muye ninjas are willing to team up with the Hyuga Clan for tasks. Therefore, the Hyuga Clan is not a burden for Hyōjin, but a huge force that can be used.
After a little chat, the two sides left the izakaya after taking what they needed.
Early the next morning, just as Hyōjin went out to the Forest of Death to collect some more poisons, a figure stopped his way.
The other party asked coldly: "Hey, boy, are you Hyōjin?"
Hyōjin nodded.
While playing with the kunai in his hand, the other party said: "My name is Uchiha Shinichi, I heard that you won against Zhishui not long ago, I specially came to find you today, I want to let you understand that the name of our Uchiha can not be trampled casually!"
Hyōjin's face sank: "Sorry, I still have something to do."
