Chapter Three

The Senju clan was in an uproar as I suddenly was taken Ill. I was constantly under the care of the Konoha hospital for several weeks. I overheard the cause being that I was dangerously low on Chakra with no sign of it recovering.

I felt annoyed with myself thinking that the cause is obviously because I integrated the Sharingan into my body without giving it any thought before hand.

In the Anime and Manga the Sharingan took a huge toll on Kakashi yet imagine that strain placed in the body of a young baby.

The only thing I had going for me is the incredible life force and Chakra that the Senju have.

I am constantly being fed a concoction of medical herbs and Amakichi food pills to recover my Chakra.

I have attempted to change my body enough to integrate the conflicting Senju and Uchiha bloodlines and Chakra together.

I am sadly lacking the Chakra required at the minute so It is a slow and arduous process.

Four months of being stuck in the Konoha hospital has played havoc with my development.

Even though I am now Seven months old I am no bigger than I was when I first entered the hospital.

The Nurses and Doctors would make a fuss over me but I can see the look on their faces. None of them think I am going to make it.

Amusingly I have already gotten my body accustomed to the conflicting Uchiha and Senju Chakra

The few Cells in my body that produce Uchiha like Chakra I was able to combine with Senju Cells via Body Snatcher. I then proceeded to replace each Cell in my body with these combined Cells leading to myself making a full recovery.

My Mother had returned from her last mission and when she heard I was in the hospital she bulldozed her way through to me like a crazy woman.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

She even dragged along my cousin Tsunade along demanding she give her a second opinion.

Tsunade at this point while a capable medical ninja is not the force she would one day be known to be.

She however gave me an examination in hopes of placating my crazed Mother.

With a look of relief Tsunade explained that it looks like what ever was draining my Chakra is no longer an issue.

My Mother wept tears of joy at the news and held me so close I thought my little underdeveloped bones were going to break.

After several weeks of rehabilitation I was finally allowed to leave the hospital.

The Doctors were concerned about my stunted growth but decided that in time I should catch up eventually.

I wanted to use my new found Sharingan to copy the medical Ninjutsu sadly however being but a baby I lack the required Chakra to activate the Sharingan for long.

I only managed to use it for just a few seconds. I was barely able to make out much of the secrets of medical Ninjutsu before my Chakra bottomed out and I passed out again.

Even though I used my body snatcher ability to become accustomed to it. My Sharingan still requires Chakra to maintain its use.

It may not be as fuel efficient as a true Uchiha's but its still far more efficient than Kakashi's was in the anime and manga.

When my Chakra reserves increase with my growth I should be able to activate it as and when I need it.

The problem is that right now my body needs Chakra to grow. Because of this I have put a temporary ban on using the Sharingan.

When I returned home the Senju threw a Celebration for my exit from the Hospital.

Almost all the clan were there. Silvia the wet nurse was also there. She was making just as much a fuss over my return to health as my Mother.

The thing I was most disappointed with however was baby Nawaki. He was now twice the size of me.

Every time we were put together he would unknowingly pull and poke at me. Given the size disparity I found his behaviour a little too rough.

On one such time I lost control of my temper and activated my Body Snatcher skill just to make him stop.

I was amazed how much Chakra was housed within his body. The difference between the main house and the branch family is surely great.

His Cells were producing Chakra at a rate that was over four times more efficient than my own.

Using the small amount of Medical Ninjutsu I was capable of I quickly sensed how his Cells operated and cancelled the body switch.

As Body Snatcher doesn't use any Chakra at all I began modifying the operation my cells to duplicate the same Chakra production as Nawaki.

It must have seemed quite odd to the adults around seeing a seven month old baby so engrossed in something but I wanted to make the alterations before I forgot how Nawaki's Cells operated.

I raced against the timer to implement the changes into a few Cells at least that way when the timer runs out I can duplicate those Cells later on with Body Snatcher.

It truly is regrettable that I immediately forget how the entire body of my victim works but luckily I can replicate any changes I make to myself.
