Chapter 160 Information, Experiment
In the office, Tsunade looked up at Chisaku who had returned and couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh?": "Chisaku, you're starting to look more and more like my great-grandfather. You have a special kind of approachability."
"Really? It might be because of his Yang Release cultivation." Hoshino Senju replied casually.
He also sensed that as the indexes of Yang and Yin power increased, he was radiating a strange infectious power.
Perhaps because the chakra of the ninja world all comes from the same source, the chakra source power he possesses has an invisible influence on the ninjas who rely on chakra, in terms of rank.
"Your talent is probably unparalleled in the ninja world," Tsunade praised with a smile, her eyes shining. "Even if you told me right now that you've mastered Wood Release, I would believe you."
"Haha, it'll be soon. Sometimes I feel like I've received the blessing of the Sage of Six Paths," Hoshino Senju laughed.
Compared to the cheat code of exposing the system, using the Sage of Six Paths as an excuse is obviously more appropriate—firstly, in terms of bloodline, he is indeed a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths.
"That's possible." Tsunade rested her chin on her hand, a smile in her eyes.
Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head slightly, ending the topic, and sat down to read a book while deep in thought.
The Bloodline Scroll was an unexpected bonus, as tracing the Asura bloodline increased his chakra by 200,000 points.
Such a rapid growth rate made the Hundred Healings Technique, which he had just begun to cultivate, seem even more useless, but he still decided to continue cultivating it.
Firstly, it's to conceal his abundant chakra reserves; secondly, it might be used to store Sage Chakra in the future.
Within the sealed space he constructed, the chakra storage dam was only four to five times the original amount of chakra, approximately 1.2 million points.
The amount of chakra he has accumulated remains unchanged, but as his chakra reserves increase, the multiplier drops to about two times, thus greatly increasing the accumulation speed.
He calmed himself and focused on reading the scrolls left in the title page—the contents of which were of great help to him.
After all, the three primal powers he currently possesses do not directly provide skills; they require exploration. Tobirama's various studies and conjectures, however, have provided the direction and solutions.
Time passed slowly.
After get off work, the two returned to the Senju residence.
"Tsunade-neechan, Chisaku, you're back!" Kushina greeted them warmly. "Chisaku, where's my Life Curry recipe?"
"for you."
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled helplessly, took out the written formula from his personal space and handed it to her.
Surprisingly, there are actually people who like Life Curry. Even he himself only eats it for the sake of its flavor, but Kushina seems to have discovered a new world and is showing signs of becoming a "master of culinary disasters".
"Where's Minato? Is this your real body or a shadow clone?" Hoshino Senju asked.
"It's the real body. Minato went outside to train again, and he won't let me leave the village anymore. Humph!" Kushina pouted, looking resentful. "After all, it's against the rules. Trying it once in a while is fine, but doing it often will easily get you caught and cause trouble." Tsunade comforted her from the side.
"Okay." Kushina's resentment came and went quickly.
The three of them walked into the main living room while talking, waiting for Minato to return so they could have dinner together.
After taking their seats, Tsunade began to boast to Kushina about her achievements at the casino the previous night, including getting a stake in the business today and preparing to establish a charity foundation, which made Kushina exclaim in surprise and look at her with admiration.
Seven or eight minutes later, Xingyuan Qianshuo sensed that Minato had suddenly appeared in the courtyard. Soon, Minato entered the living room.
"Huh?" Hoshino Senju looked at him—Minato's hand was wrapped in bandages.
[Name: Minato Namikaze]
[Condition: Minor hand injury, minor damage to the meridians in the hand]
Xingyuan Qianshuo instinctively used the system's detection function, then stood up to greet him, his palm glowing with green light. "Minato, are you injured? Let me heal you."
"Thank you," Minato said gently. "It's still a bit difficult to cast Wind Release: Rasengan without using shadow clones."
This bait was laid the day before yesterday, and today we finally got a fish to bite again.
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled and encouraged him, "With your talent, you can definitely master it. If you get injured, come to me for treatment as soon as possible."
The treatment ended during the conversation. A system notification popped up:
[You have healed Minato Namikaze's minor external injuries and meridian damage, and have received the following rewards: Eight Trigrams Seal (Mastery), Nerve Reaction Increased by 10%, Chakra +420]
After the two sat down, Kushina gently stroked Minato's newly healed hand, her eyes filled with tenderness and heartache.
Just as Kushina was about to shower everyone with "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), Hoshino Senju also took Tsunade's hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Minato, Kushina, I have some news to announce—Tsunade and I are getting married."
"Ah!" Kushina exclaimed. "Really? When?"
"I'll ask Professor Biwako to arrange the specific date, but it's January 21st, after my 20th birthday," Hoshino Chisaku replied.
"Tsunade-neechan, Chisaku, congratulations!" Kushina looked at Tsunade's happy face and offered her heartfelt blessings.
"Congratulations, Lady Tsunade and Senju." Minato also offered his congratulations in a warm voice.
At that moment, Kushina suddenly turned her head and looked at Minato with watery eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Minato, the "ladies' man," instantly understood, but could only smile helplessly and remain silent.
"Kushina, you're only seventeen, what's the rush?" Tsunade interjected, trying to smooth things over.
"Haha, no, not at all, Tsunade-neechan," Kushina laughed. "I just wanted to see Minato's reaction; it'll be so interesting."
The topic quickly shifted back to Tsunade's "gambling god" exploits and her charitable foundation. Kushina and Minato's praise made Tsunade feel extremely pleased.
After thirty years of defeats, she finally turned things around and naturally wanted to show off to her friends.
After dinner, Tsunade, who had been showing off all night, hummed a little tune and took Hoshino Senju's hand for a short walk in the courtyard before returning to her room.
Xingyuan Qianshuo first went to the bathroom to wash himself quickly with water jutsu, then returned to bed to wait for Tsunade to finish her bath.
With a slight thought, he retrieved the rewards he had previously gained and mastered the Eight Trigrams Seal, which Minato had developed based on the Four Symbols Seal—the sealing technique that would be used on Naruto in the future.
This discovery reminded him of the side quest he had to "cure the Nine Lamas' claustrophobia".
One of his proposed solutions was to replace the "Tail-Locking Seal" used to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox with the "Eight Trigrams Seal".
However, the difficulty in completing this operation lies not in the sealing technique, but in how to persuade Kushina, Minato, the Konoha leadership, and even the Nine-Tails itself.
These issues require further consideration.
He then looked at the progress of the main quest "The Strongest Medical Ninja in the Ninja World". Under the influence of the Uzumaki Physique, Senju Physique and Ashura bloodline, his chakra level increased sharply, and the progress has now reached 58%.
He was looking forward to receiving some special reward after reaching 60%.
He closed the system interface and frowned in thought again.
Today, a question has been lingering in his mind, and he can't make a decision: whether or not to tell Tsunade about Orochimaru and Danzo's human experiments with Hashirama cells.
After all, Tsunade had vehemently opposed the Hashirama cell experiments led by the Konoha leadership.
Now that I'm going to get involved, even if it's as Aizen after his transformation, I should inform Tsunade.
When Tsunade walked into the bedroom in her cute pajamas and saw Chisaku deep in thought, she asked softly, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Xingyuan Qianshuo looked up at Tsunade, smiled slightly, and opened his arms.
Tsunade smiled slightly, nimbly got into bed, and nestled into Chisaku's arms.
"Tsunade, I have something to tell you, but please don't be angry," Hoshino Senju said gently.
"What's wrong? What did you do to offend me?" Tsunade asked casually, her fingers lightly stroking Chisaku's firm chest.
"No, not at all. It's like this, my sensory abilities can now cover a very long range," Xingyuan Qianshuo explained. "Yesterday, I used my senses to track Danzo's chakra and found that he went to an area outside Konoha Village, where his chakra disappeared."
"Danzo?" Tsunade was used to Chisaku's endless talents and murmured, waiting for him to continue.
"Yes. This morning, I used Shadow Clone Technique to investigate that place again and discovered his and Orochimaru's human experimentation base."
"Those two bastards!" Tsunade said coldly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo gently stroked Tsunade's arm, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The problem now is that they are using young children to conduct Hashirama cell experiments."
"What?!" Tsunade jerked herself up, her face contorted with rage. "How dare they?!"
"Alright, calm down." Hoshino Senju pulled Tsunade into his arms again.
Tsunade struggled to suppress her inner rage and asked, "I knew they wouldn't give up, but I never expected them to use children for experiments—"
Do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi might know about this?
"It's hard to say. He might not know, or he might have tacitly approved, but he probably won't be involved openly," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied.
"Hmph, a bunch of bastards," Tsunade cursed.
"Tsunade, now is not the right time to reveal this," Hoshino Senju said in a deep voice.
"Chisaku, what are you planning to do?" Tsunade asked softly.
"There are dozens of children there, they've become test subjects, and stopping now could mean certain death," Xingyuan Qianshuo said. "My shadow clone made contact with Orochimaru after transforming, and tricked him into joining an organization I created on a whim."
"I am prepared to participate in the experiments on behalf of this organization to ensure that these children survive as much as possible."
"As for the future, I will forcibly restrain Orochimaru; as for Shimura Danzo, I will settle accounts with him when I have the chance."
Tsunade was silent for a moment, then said, "They're too easy on them. You should make sure the children survive first."
"Alright, don't be upset, I'll handle it," Xingyuan Qianshuo comforted him gently.
"Hmm," Tsunade replied, still furious.
Seeing this, Xingyuan Qianshuo moved his body and buried his head in the snow-white space, personally helping Tsunade vent her emotions.
The next morning.
After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, the two went to Konoha Hospital together.
After a night's rest, Tsunade's emotions had calmed down considerably, and she believed that Chisaku could handle the matter well.
Upon arriving at Tsunade's office, Hoshino Senju pondered for a moment, then formed hand seals to create three shadow clones: one to fill in at the clinic, one to assist Nono with the charity fund preparations, and one to continue leading Shizune and the other three.
The three clones left one after another.
Then, he created a separate shadow clone containing nearly 100,000 chakra; immediately, the clone teleported away.
"This last shadow clone went to that experimental base, hoping to find a way to heal the children," Hoshino Senju explained to Tsunade, who was watching him.
"Hmm." Tsunade nodded calmly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled slightly and pondered for a moment, then said, "Tsunade, how about you become Hokage?"
"Huh?" Tsunade exclaimed in surprise.
"I think you would be better able to lead Konoha's development as Hokage," Hoshino Senju said with a smile. "I believe that neither the commoners nor the ninja clans in the village would have any objections."
"Well... this is so troublesome," Tsunade said after a moment's thought.
Knowing that Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru were conducting human experiments with Hashirama cells, and that Hiruzen Sarutobi was likely aware of it, she grew increasingly disappointed with the current Konoha leadership. Faced with Chisaku's suggestion, she began to seriously consider it.
"The key to governing Konoha is personnel management; boldly promote capable newcomers. With proper division of labor and systemic management, the Hokage only needs to focus on the major tasks," Hoshino Senju advised. "Of course, I will definitely do my best to help you."
"Chisaku, if it's that simple, why don't you become Hokage yourself?" Tsunade asked with a smile.
"I need to accumulate the necessary qualifications and experience to become Hokage," Hoshino Senju said with a smile. "Besides, as you know, what I'm going to do is very risky and not suitable for me to do as Hokage."
"Furthermore, the Hokage position could be based on a term system, with each term lasting five years and a maximum of two terms. If you don't want to continue, you can serve for a period of time and then step down."
"Yes, I will seriously consider it," Tsunade replied.
Seeing this, Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped trying to persuade him.
During their conversation, the shadow clone that had teleported away appeared near Orochimaru's experimental base, transformed into Aizen's appearance, used the Transparent Release technique, and once again pushed open the stone door and entered the dimly lit underground passage.
To prevent Orochimaru from recognizing the Flying Thunder God Technique, yesterday's shadow clones did not leave any Flying Thunder God mark inside the base.
To create an impression of Aizen's superiority, he demonstrated a space-time ninjutsu that utilizes his personal space to disappear. This method allows the body to gradually vanish, unlike the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Upon entering the passage and activating Kagura's Mind's Eye, one more person and one Jonin-level chakra level member were found in the base compared to yesterday.
Aizen, a shadow clone, entered the base and quietly used the system to detect an extra Jonin wearing a flower mask.
"Huh, his name is Bing, is he someone I know?" the shadow clone thought to himself.
This person, Bing, had threatened him when he was just starting his medical skills training. At that time, he was just an ordinary Chunin, but because of Bing's threat, Tsunade went to negotiate with the Third Hokage and promoted him to Special Jonin.
In just over two months, his strength had undergone a complete transformation.
Without further thought, he injected Yin Release chakra into the Root member and the five experimental personnel—they could do their jobs normally, but would ignore his presence.
He then deactivated his teleportation ability, revealing his true form.
"Aizen-kun, welcome." Orochimaru walked out of the office and greeted him in a hoarse voice.
He glanced at the six people who seemed oblivious to Aizen Sousuke, and chuckled sinisterly, "A very powerful illusion technique, Aizen-kun."
"You can call me Aizen. Orochimaru, is the data ready?" the shadow clone Aizen said in a deep voice.
"Of course, in the office."
Aizen, the shadow clone, nodded and followed Orochimaru into the office.
Although he was a shadow clone, he still carefully sensed his surroundings and Orochimaru's emotions to avoid being ambushed or having a trap set by Orochimaru, which would affect the coolness of Aizen's character.
After all, Orochimaru did not have a belief index in the data displayed by the system.
Aizen, the shadow clone, flipped through the thick stack of documents prepared by Orochimaru, deep in thought.
These materials are very professional, but fortunately, Xingyuan Qianshuo has solid medical knowledge and can barely understand them.
Part of the material summarizes the lessons learned from the experiments conducted by the previous three generations of researchers:
After ordinary ninjas received transplants of Hashirama Senju's living cells, they experienced various symptoms due to differences in their physical constitution and chakra attributes, such as Wood Release erosion, depletion of life force, and uncontrolled rampage of Hashirama's cells. Ultimately, all the test subjects died.
Orochimaru learned from his previous mistakes and used his scientific research to degenerate Hashirama's cells into stem cells, which were then injected into the child's body and gradually fused together as the child developed.
There are several problems with the current experiment: First, some children have a persistent fever and rejection reaction; second, some children's bodies have shown slight lignification; and third, the activity of chakra in the body is uneven, and the development of Hashirama stem cells has absorbed too much energy or life force.
In short, Orochimaru reduced the symptoms of using live cells directly, but did not completely eliminate them—as time goes on, the problems of these experimental subjects are likely to become more and more serious, and they will eventually die as well.
Aizen, the shadow clone, quickly flipped through the documents without carefully analyzing the data, focusing instead on summarizing the conclusions.
An hour later, Aizen, the shadow clone, closed the file, pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "Let's go. Find the child with the most severe symptoms, and I'll observe him in person."
"Alright, I hope Aizen can bring something different," Orochimaru said with a sinister smile.
Is there a method to create shadow clones? He has zero experience in human experimentation, far inferior to Orochimaru. He can only rely on his original Yang power, Yin power, and Wood Release abilities.
Orochimaru led him to one of the nutrient tanks.
Number 22 is a three- or four-year-old girl whose right hand is completely woody.
The little girl had woken up and was observing them with her clear, innocent eyes.
Aizen, the shadow clone, waved to the little girl with a gentle and friendly smile, which made the girl also show an innocent smile.
"Mr. Aizen is truly kind," Orochimaru remarked.
"When the master of this world is a benevolent person, you must learn to be kind," the shadow clone Aizen said in a deep voice.
"Understood." Orochimaru nodded with a sinister smile.
He understood the meaning of that sentence better than anyone else, after all, he had always had to face his "benevolent" teacher.
