That's a good thought. I do wonder myself how Tsukune's family would react if they found out that he had turned into an ayashi and how they would proceed from there. I also doubt that they would remain unaware of it, but at the same time, I don't know if it would be easy for them to accept it at first, or how silent they can remain about the entire thing. It's true that Tsukune won't throw away his origins the way Hokuto did. Unlike Hokuto, Tsukune's family always looked out for him.

Shinso are capable of absorbing other powers and ayashi, which would no doubt be originated from the Shinso blood itself.

I doubt it has anything to do with the Shinso's ability to absorb the powers of other ayashi. I think it's too early to make conjectures about how it's done when there haven't been any hints anywhere as to how it is actually accomplished. But I think Chris might be onto something. It's plausible that they have to consume the body of the ayashi itself rather than just the blood, and Alucard's current body does indicate as such. It not like a human transforming into an ayashi, particularly when Shinso blood is superior in quality compared to the blood of others, when human blood is prey to all ayashi.
