The jounin shook her head, "I probably shouldn't be telling you this... but everything they did- it was about immortality, resurrection, that sort of thing."<br/><br/>She looked visibly perturbed, "And... it wasn't good enough. ...But they didn't care about the sacrifices involved. The papers mentioned a technique, stolen from them by the Senju, that could bring someone back from the dead by sacrificing a living 'host.' They would not age or die, or even tire. All they needed was a bit of the person's body to resurrect. And they had it, but... apparently, it wasn't good enough. And they never mentioned it again."<br/><br/>Maki shook her head again, biting her lip, "They didn't care about casualties or human sacrifice. So what was wrong with it?" The woman sighed, "But the technique I've been working on is... about transferring consciousness into another body. Honestly, without... human trials, I don't think I could ever complete this technique. But Daimyo wants, Daimyo gets- so I'll give him as much as I can. ...<em>They</em>didn't want it, though. Always said the bodies weren't good enough, and that it was the other way around, whatever that means."
