Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Just like how Furuta Nimura changed his name to Washu Yoshifuku in the original work, the names of all the CCG directors have the character "Yi" in them, such as Washu Tsunekichi and Washu Yoshitoki.

But now that the Washuu clan has begun to crumble, how could Uchiha Byakuya still care about such a system?

“From now on, CCG will continue to operate according to the original system, and things will remain the same as before.”

After taking over as director, Uchiha Byakuya did not plan to make any changes, as the existing CCG system was sufficient.

Previously, the tool the Washuu family truly used to control the balance between humans and ghouls was the "V" organization, not the CCG. The CCG's greatest significance lay in enhancing the Washuu family's status and prestige in human society, and it also personally controlled the strongest military force in all of Japan.

Although Uchiha Byakuya's ultimate ideal was to change the world, simply overthrowing the Washuu clan was far from enough.

It's also impossible to directly castrate the CCG and prevent it from dealing with ghouls, as that would only make the ghouls prey on humans even more recklessly.

Therefore, this approach cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Currently, the most effective solution is to develop special food that can replace human flesh and allow ghouls to solve their hunger problem.

Even if it cannot completely resolve the conflict between humans and ghouls, it can at least greatly suppress this conflict.

At least those ghouls who don't genuinely want to harm humans don't have to force themselves to hunt humans because of hunger.

If there are still ghouls that intentionally harm humans, then the CCG will come in handy.

According to Uchiha Byakuya's idea, as laws concerning ghouls are continuously improved and perfected, the conflict between humans and ghouls can be gradually alleviated, but this will take time to promote.

Now that he's in the position of CCG Director, which is essentially no different from being the Speaker of the Council, he has the power to gradually realize his ideas.

............

The "Special Meeting" is still ongoing.

"Let me tell you about the CCG's future direction. It will no longer be a purely anti-ghoul bureau, but will try to alleviate the conflict between humans and ghouls while protecting humans. Otherwise, the killing will never stop."

As the new director, Uchiha Byakuya will guide the CCG in this direction.

"But that's almost impossible. Ghouls are designed to feed on humans, so the conflict will never be resolved..."

Marutei Sai said helplessly.

"That's right, that's the key issue."

Uchiha Byakuya's tone became sharp, "As long as we can develop food that ghouls can eat, or adjust their sense of taste for normal food, we can greatly alleviate the conflict."

The original work describes how that food was successfully developed, a result of research by Akihiro Kano, Takami Nishino, Hisashi Ogura, and others.

It was later explained that the organization "Oiran Act," to which Nishino Kimi belonged, was dedicated to adjusting ghouls' sense of taste, helping them to taste normal food.

Although the ghouls' physical structure dictates that eating normal human food will weaken their strength, at least they can enjoy the taste of food like humans, and as research progresses, the problem of their physical structure may be solved.

After all, the most fundamental difference between humans and ghouls lies in RC cells. If we can thoroughly study RC cells, then we'll probably be close to understanding them.

"Can this really be done?"

Marude Sai and the other special investigators were somewhat skeptical.

“Very hopeful.”

Uchiha Byakuya said confidently, "Actually, it has always been the Washuu clan that has been secretly obstructing this research. Otherwise, special foods that ghouls can eat might have been developed long ago."

“I know two people who are capable of conducting this research: Akihiro Kano and Hisashi Ogura.”

However, it seems that Akihiro Kano was studying in Germany at this time.

"Hisashi Ogura... is that the expert on TV who specializes in researching ghouls?"

Marutei and the others felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

Because this person is often seen on television explaining things about ghouls.

As for Akihiro Kano, they didn't know.

"It's him, and then there's Akihiro Kanou. Next, we should invite them to join the CCG."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

Inviting Akihiro Kanou would actually be quite easy, since Kanou himself wanted to research ghouls.

In the original work, Akihiro Kanou joined the CCG as a researcher after completing his studies in Germany, where he conducted experiments to transform humans into ghouls.

Uchiha Byakuya knew Kanou Akihiro's character very well; Kanou Akihiro was the medical genius who best fit his plan.

Chapter 142 Akihiro Kanou

In the original work, Akihiro Kano is undoubtedly a pure villain.

For example, he transformed Kaneki Ken, Anju Kurona, and Anju Nashiro into artificial half-ghouls, and even subjected Takizawa Seidou to inhumane experiments and torture.

This is a character who doesn't need any whitewashing. He himself considered himself a villain, so in the end, he shot himself in front of his mother's grave.

He is also a villain with great ambition.

The death of his mother from an incurable disease was a huge blow to Akihiro Kano, and it completely changed his life. In his eyes, it was a terminal illness that was hopeful to be cured.

As the son of the director of "Kano General Hospital" and a genius who graduated from the medical school of Teihou University, Kanou Akihiro had already gained some insights into ghouls and RC cells at a very early age.

He believes that the RC cells in ghouls can be used in medicine, but he doesn't know why the medical community has almost no idea about this.

It became clear later that the Washuu family was behind this.

Since his mother's death, Kanou Akihiro had been secretly researching ghouls. After returning from studying in Germany, he joined the CCG. While in the CCG, he learned some things he "shouldn't know," so he left the CCG and secretly conducted experiments on artificial half-ghouls.

The so-called "things that shouldn't be known" should refer to certain secrets of the Washuu family.

It can be said that Akihiro Kanou was also an important figure in driving all the developments.

His personality was such that he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In order to advance medicine, he personally created many tragedies. In the end, he succeeded and committed suicide without any regrets.

Therefore, Akihiro Kanou has no regrets about what he did.

"Let's proceed with this arrangement, and have Akihiro Kano and Hisashi Ogura both become researchers at our CCG."

Uchiha Byakuya spoke to the special investigators in front of him.

At this time, Kanou Akihiro had only secretly studied ghouls and had not yet come into contact with the artificial half-ghoul modification experiments.

Uchiha Byakuya would definitely not support such inhumane experiments as artificial half-ghouls. Moreover, the only truly successful artificial half-ghoul experiment was Kaneki Ken. Besides Kaneki Ken, there were countless other tragically defective products.

Even in the later stages of the original work, the real breakthroughs in medical technology were achieved through dragon cells and dragon poison gas produced after Kaneki Ken "transformed into a dragon," which had little to do with artificial half-ghoul experiments.

Kanou Akihiro's greatest contribution was unintentionally creating the future "One-Eyed King" Kaneki Ken, and also advancing the research on "special foods that ghouls can eat".

But is it possible that "transforming into a dragon" doesn't necessarily require torturing Kaneki Ken? There's already a ready-made "dragon" in the 24th ward underground.

That is, the first one-eyed king of the Washuu family.

Although the first One-Eyed King is dead, the "dragon" body he left behind can probably still be used. However, the Washuu family has always kept it buried deep underground, not wanting it to appear in front of the world. Therefore, it is also known as "Washuu's Taboo".

“Alright, but originally this funding was provided by the Washuu family in conjunction with the political establishment, but now the Washuu family…”

Marutei Sai took this issue into consideration.

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of the funding."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

On his side are Furuta Nifuku and Kamishiro Rize, one is Washuu Tsunekichi's biological son, and the other is "Washuu" with the purest bloodline.

With a little "packaging," we can get Nifuku and Rize to take over the Washuu family.

This is still orthodoxy and reform, only the leadership has been reshuffled.

Leaving aside Rize for now, based on his behavior in the original work, Nifuku would definitely be happy to change his name to "Washu".

In the original work, Furuta Nimura is shrewd, ruthless, and unscrupulous, but his dream has always been very simple...

Including the high-ranking members of the Washuu clan, Uchiha Byakuya also planned to leave some survivors to assist Nifuku.

To put it bluntly, those who disobeyed were all slaughtered, while those who obeyed might be spared.

What needs to be overthrown is the Hexiu family, not all its members.

Otherwise, slaughtering all the members of the Washu branch family, including Nifuku, Rize, and Washu, as well as Arima, Ihei, and the monk, would be completely unnecessary.

............

With things mostly settled at the CCG, Uchiha Byakuya left the remaining trivial matters to the Special Investigators.

Uchiha Byakuya first planned to go to the 6th district to let Nimura and Rize know he was safe.

Arima Kishou, on the other hand, went to find the escaped "Washu".

From the moment Byakuya Uchiha entrusted Nimura and Rize to Sasuke Kamishiro, less than half a day has passed.

"Brother Baiye! Are you alright?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Byakuya return, Furuta Nimura immediately expressed his concern.

Kamishiro Kaga was meditating when he was surprised that the other party had returned so quickly.

Moreover, there were no signs of battle on his body. Could it be that he gave up halfway because he thought the Heshu family was too difficult to deal with?

"without......"

Uchiha Byakuya briefly recounted what happened at the CCG that day.
