Sanzu Amado's Desire

"Otsutsuki..."
"Shibai."
The atmosphere froze into a complete awkwardness.
Kaguya's words were like a bomb dropped on them.
Umeshiki stared at Kashin Koji with disbelief on her face. Otsutsuki Shibai is a legendary figure within the Otsutsuki Clan.
He's their Spiritual Leader!
He's Otsutsuki God!
Yet Kaguya said this mortal has the Shibai's genes!
That's unbelievable because doing so would cause complications in one's body.
The worst case is that the person is going to explode.
"The man who cloned you is a genius," Kaguya commented calmly.
"He knew a mortal couldn't possibly handle Shibai's genes, even if they are just a tiny amount in your Genetic Codes. So, he only grafted the dormant genes on you, hoping you would awaken Shibai's powers or Shinjutsu in the future."
"Dormant genes..." Umeshiki's eyes lit up. "That makes sense now."
"But still, it's dangerous for mortals to wield such powers. The chance of Shinjutsu awakening is also slimmer than the chance of them surviving..."
Even though Otsutsuki Shibai is the Otsutsuki Clan's spiritual leader, their principle is still survival of the fittest. Many strong clan members have been trying to graft Shibai's genes on themselves, but they died soon after as they couldn't bear God's powers.
Of course, many also tried to graft Shibai's dormant genes. And yes, no one of them succeeded.
It's like trying to fit the ocean into a fragile cup.
"You're right." Kaguya agreed with Umeshiki's words. "Shibai's dormant genes are weaker than the active ones but still as dangerous."
"But you also have to factor in human's evolution force."
"They are very compatible with Otsutsuki's genes..."
Of course, Kaguya was talking from experience. Although Hagoromo and Hamura are only half-Otsutsuki, they possess prowess and talents rivaling those elites at the Otsutsuki Clan.
In fact, Hagoromo's descendants, like Indra, Ashura, Madara, Hashirama, Sasuke, and Naruto, are just as prominent as once-in-century geniuses of the Otsutsuki Clan. Their only limitation is Shinobi World, which couldn't offer many resources for their growth.
Kaguya's eyes flashed with interest, 'Even then, to gain such a perfect graft...'
'Though the chance is low, this Kashin Koji might awaken Shibai's Shinjutsu in the future.'
"Escort us to the man named Amado," Kaguya said calmly.
"Right away!" Kashin Koji replied with a faint smile. Thankfully, Kaguya wasn't hostile. His back was full of cold sweats at this point.
Kawaki warily stared at Kashin Koji and whispered, "Miss, although Amado isn't your opponent, you shouldn't underestimate him. Even Isshiki is wary of this guy's abilities."
Kashin Koji's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Kawaki's words. 'Kid, what's the use of whispering? We are all experts. We can hear you from a mile away!'
He didn't dare to voice out his thoughts, though.
Kaguya reacted with amusement in her face, "Is that so? Even Isshiki is wary of this man?"
"That makes his experience more interesting."
"Just don't kill him. From your words earlier, I assumed his skill is rare, even in this world." Bibi Dong shook her head at Kaguya's reaction.
"He could be useful for the Bright Spirit Empire."
"I won't kill him. Don't worry." Kaguya replied calmly.
'Damn it. You guys are talking about taking someone's life too casually! Is this the mood of the experts?' Kawaki was speechless. He clenched his fist and hoped he could learn something from Kaguya.
Umeshiki maintained a weird look. But after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything.
They walked down the underground base for a minute or two before arriving at a clean laboratory.
"Amado, open the door." Kashin Koji waved his hand at the camera nearby.
Zzt!
The wall near Kaguya opened, revealing a hidden passage toward another laboratory.
A man entered their vision. Amado has white hair, a beard, and a trimmed mustache. He had thick glasses with orange lenses, protecting his light green eyes. He wears a black collared shirt and matching pants.
At first glance, he is just like your typical middle-aged man.
However, Kaguya could feel sheer confidence brimming from his gaze and ambiance. Even in the face of Kaguya, Amado didn't show the slightest fear.
Amado smiled reasonably at them, "Welcome to my lab. Kashin Koji must have told you my name, but let me introduce myself again."
"My name is Sanzu Amado. I'm part of Inner Kara and responsible for the Research and Development Division. In short, I made Scientific Ninja Tools for the groups."
"Since Isshiki has passed away, there is no use staying in Kara anymore."
"I heard of your return from another world... So, I'd like to join your faction, Kaguya-sama."
Bibi Dong put on a peculiar look. "Interesting."
Amado somewhat reminded Bib Dong of the crazy scientist at the Bright Spirit Labs. He might look calm outside, but she notices a certain level of madness in his eyes.
'If Kyudai Garaki is here. He might choke on his laughter.' Bibi Dong leaned on the wall nearby, not minding Amado's question.
Kaguya also noticed Amado's eagerness and asked, "That's not your only goal, right? You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me and Bibi Dong."
"You're longing for something, or perhaps..."
"Someone."
Amado furrowed his brows before sighing, "As expected of you, Kaguya-sama."
"Yes, you're right. I'm indeed aiming for something else besides joining your group."
"Don't worry... It's not something that oversteps your boundaries."
"If you can fulfill, I will swear my allegiance toward you and become your dog. All my research will be yours, including the future ones."
Kaguya's eyes lit up slightly, "Very well. Tell me what you want."
Amado sighed in relief. Negotiating with Kaguya is much easier than with Isshiki.
"I only want one thing all my life. I've done everything to grasp it, but it was futile."
"I don't know how powerful another world is... Still, I believe there is a chance."
"Kaguya-sama, you must have a way to revive the dead?"
"Please help me revive my daughter!"
"This..." Everyone was stunned by Amado's request, even Kawaki.
Kawaki didn't expect Amado to be such an emotional man.
Kashin Koji sighed, looking at the ceiling. Since Amado created him, he also knew the genius scientist had been trying to revive his dead daughter.
However, all methods Amado used were proven useless.
He has cloned his daughter, even transferring her memory to the clone, but he created a new entity instead. That creation wasn't his daughter.
They look alike, but the inside is different.
Kaguya stared at Amado and then moved her gaze to the nutrient tube in the corner. Inside the tube is a blonde-haired woman, sleeping with a calm heartbeat.
"It's all empty, isn't it?" Kaguya commented, looking at Amado again.
Amado nodded wearily, "Yes."
Kaguya pondered before saying, "You can clone and transfer deceased memory, but your method won't be successful."
"Do you know why?"
"I... I don't know." Amado replied helplessly.
Kaguya pointed at Amado's chest, "Because it lacks soul. The one you created is an empty shell of your late daughter."
"Without your daughter's soul, you will never revive your daughter."
"After all, the soul is one of the most important things for one's existence."
"Soul..." Amado clenched his hand in realization. "I see, so that's what I'm lacking."
"But even Scientific Ninja Tools hasn't reached such a realm."
"Kaguya-sama, please help me." Amado gazed at Kaguya with firm determination.
Kaguya shook her head lightly and replied, "I'm afraid you must wait a few days."
"Yunlong is currently doing something with Pure Land."
"After that, I can help you revive your daughter."
"I've been waiting for years. A few more days should be fine." Amado sighed in relief again. "Thank you, Kaguya-sama."
Kaguya waved her hand. "It's alright. In the meantime, why don't you tell me about Otsutsuki Shibai's gene grafting method you used."
Amado gave her an understanding look, clicking a secret button in his chair. "The explanation will take a long time, so please bear with it..."
Kaguya was amused, "Just show me. I have a lot of free time."
