Chapter 168 The Coveted Eyes! (Subscribe and Vote)
The day after receiving the news of the death of the Third Raikage in battle, the Kumo ninja retreated again, but Konoha did not continue the pursuit. Instead, they also received the news of the retreat and withdrew from the Moon Country to the Fire Country.
Along with the order to retreat, there were also orders for Shuichi Hoshita and Minato Namikaze to return to the village.
Hoshige Shuichi was not surprised by this, because the AB group withdrew from the front line, so the Kumo ninja battlefield no longer needed him and his teacher Minato Namikaze, and their combat power was overflowing.
On the way back to the village, Namikaze Minato suddenly revealed to Hoshita Shuichi: "Shuichi, after the war is over, I may succeed as the Fourth Hokage."
Then looking at Shuichi Hoshita's expression without any surprise, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Shuichi, you have guessed it a long time ago? You are still as sharp as ever!"
Hoshita Shuichi said with a smile: "Because there is no one in Konoha who is more suitable than you, teacher."
Namikaze Minato was curious: "Why do you say that?"
"Forget about Jiraiya-sensei and Tsunade-senpai, but Orochimaru should be quite suitable, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Orochimaru is too obsessed with studying ninjutsu. The teacher should feel that his chakra is different from the past, right?"
Namikaze Minato nodded: "That's true, he doesn't feel like a human being."
Shuichi Hoshita hit the nail on the head: "Such a person who has lost his ethics and morals in order to study ninjutsu will be a very terrible thing as Hokage, and will make the whole village lose control and lead to an unknown place."
"What's more, there is Danzo behind Orochimaru."
"The Third Hokage knows Danzo better than we do. He is too tough and unscrupulous both internally and externally."
"With them united, no one can imagine how terrifying Konoha will be in the future."
"Of course, Orochimaru is not a person who can be controlled, and he may not want to be Hokage."
Namikaze Minato was thoughtful after hearing this, and after thinking about it he asked: "Shuichi, how do you think Orochimaru should be treated?"
"this……"
Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and then said: "Does the teacher know that Danzo and Orochimaru are studying the first-generation cells?"
Namikaze Minato looked solemn: "I probably guessed a little bit, but I also guessed it from you."
Hoshita Hide nodded and said, "Although I don't know the specific situation yet, and Orochimaru said the experiment has failed."
"But there is no doubt that it must be human experimentation."
"It is not enough to conduct human experiments based on the roots, even if it is a hostile ninja. And after learning from the last experiment, Orochimaru will definitely start from other places."
"Judging from the information I got from the ANBU, I'm afraid they are targeting people near the village, and they are children."
Namikaze Minato's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this: "The experiment failed, isn't it..."
Shuichi Hoshita was noncommittal: "Human experiments have always been like this, so whether it's to study the power of tailed beasts or the first-generation cells, I haven't used them rashly."
"But it is undeniable that Orochimaru's research on the first-generation cells has been very in-depth. The failure may just be bad luck."
"What is wrong is not the experimental research, but the method and supervision."
Namikaze Minato already understood Hoshita Shuichi's attitude after hearing this.
Hoshita Xiuichi changed his tone and asked: "Do you know the Moonlight Clan, teacher?"
Namikaze Minato reacted quickly: "What Shuichi wants to say is that the Moonlight Clan has awakened the Toetsu Blood Sequence Limit, but is suffering from the Blood Sequence Disease, Gekko Hayate?"
Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Not bad."
"His condition cannot be cured even with lung replacement, which means re-transplantation is required every once in a while, but obviously it is impossible to have so many lungs to replace."
"But the first generation of cells has this possibility. Even if it cannot cure the disease, it can still make him normal."
"But it was too difficult to control the first generation of cells, but Orochimaru's experiment made the impossible possible."
When faced with Moonlight Hayate's blood disease, the first method that came to mind was actually human body modification, an idea that originated from Orochimaru.
The second thing he thought of was Hashirama Cells.
Of course, it is not to implant Hashirama cells into Moonlight Hayate, because Moonlight Hayate cannot bear it.
Unless you also transplant a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes to Moonlight Hayate.
So instead of implanting Hashirama's cells, we weakened Hashirama's cells and mixed them with Moonlight Hayate's cells, and then cultured and cloned the lungs in a targeted manner and transplanted them to Moonlight Hayate.
Orochimaru has done a very good job in weakening Hashirama's cells.
As for cloning, Orochimaru's technology is unique in the ninja world.
Of course, it is not called cloning now, but cell culture.
For example, the eight-tailed horns, and the tail of the four-tailed one being cultivated.
Namikaze Minato obviously didn't understand these studies, Hoshita Shuichi explained in the simplest terms, including the goals of the first-generation cell research he and Tsunade were currently conducting.
Hoshita Shuichi said this naturally not to defend Orochimaru, but to gain support from the future Fourth Generation Hokage.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Don't worry, the Third Hokage supports it, I won't object to it."
"If it is really possible to develop the technology of directional cloning of organs and even limbs that Shuichi you mentioned, then many ninjas who have lost limbs can recover and become ninjas again."
Xingxiaxiu nodded: "That's true. It can also solve many diseases."
Minato Namikaze asked again: "The human body modification you mentioned, Shuichi, can really solve the problem of Moonlight Gale."
Hoshita Shuichi said carefully: "It can only be solved temporarily, giving him another way to breathe and transforming the lung function at the same time."
His idea is to use Orochimaru's software modification technology.
But this is just a concept at present, and he has not even thought about the most basic ideas carefully.
However, following Orochimaru, Shuichi Hoshita learned a lot, and he has a certain grasp of the human body modification of Moonlight Gale.
The master and the apprentice chatted while they were on the road, and they did not stop until they returned to Konoha.
After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen coming out of the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato said with a smile: "Shuichi, I really hope that all your ideas can be realized."
"It seems that we must work harder next time!"
Hoshita Shuichi pretended to be serious and said: "Then you have to work hard, teacher, these ideas of the disciple depend on you to realize them."
Namikaze Minato smiled and patted Hoshita Shuichi on the shoulder, and reminded: "Come to see Kushina when you have time, she hasn't seen you for a long time."
"And I got the ninjutsu you asked for, and I put it at home!"
Hoshita Shuichi hurriedly said: "I will go to see the master's wife tomorrow."
Namikaze Minato nodded, and then disappeared.
Hoshita Shuichi also went home immediately, and he was eager to go home at this moment.
He hasn't been back for more than half a year!
...
In Orochimaru's experimental base, Orochimaru was handling the experimental equipment while listening to Danzo's words calmly.
"Hiruzen's abdication is inevitable. When the time comes, I will propose that you take over the position of the fourth Hokage when I meet the daimyo."
"However, in addition to getting the daimyo's approval, you must also be voted by the jonin."
"Take some time to move around, especially to Jiraiya and Tsunade."
Orochimaru chuckled after hearing this: "I shouldn't have any strong opponents, right?"
"Minato is too young."
Danzo said: "Don't be careless."
"If you take the position of Hokage, there will be no obstacles to your research on those forbidden techniques and your experiments."
Orochimaru is not a child.
Even the Hokage cannot do whatever he wants.
But Danzo is right about one thing, that is the forbidden techniques treasured by Konoha.
Now he can only watch secretly.
If he becomes the Hokage, there will be no restrictions.
After handling the experimental equipment, Orochimaru suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "I have a new idea about suppressing the power of Hashirama's cells."
Danzo immediately stopped his chattering and stared at Orochimaru: "What idea?"
"Do we need a large number of experimental subjects again?"
Orochimaru chuckled: "This time is different."
"You should know a lot about Sharingan, right?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes: "Sharingan?"
"Is it related to the Uchiha clan?"
Orochimaru nodded: "The first generation has a strong Yang escape power, and I think the only blood limit that can suppress the power of Hashirama's cells is the Sharingan."
"Speaking of which, it was Shuichi who reminded me and made me shift my focus to mental power, and thus noticed the Uchiha clan's Sharingan."
Many of the ninjas who supported the Rock Ninja Battlefield before were Uchiha clan members transferred from the Mist Ninja Battlefield. Orochimaru observed many Uchiha clan members during the war.
He even witnessed the promotion process of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan with his own eyes, and the cold chakra left a deep impression on him.
Danzo frowned after hearing this: "The Uchiha clan's Sharingan is more than just Yin Dun."
Although he coveted the Uchiha clan's eyes very much, and even had one on him now, but was it a bit far-fetched to link Hashirama's cells with the Uchiha clan's eyes?
He even suspected that Orochimaru was interested in the Uchiha clan's eyes and wanted to get them through him.
Orochimaru was confident: "Sharingan is indeed more than just Yin Dun, but it is dominated by Yin Dun, or it is dominated by spiritual power."
"You won't forget Shuichi-kun's theory, right?"
"Besides, the spirit controls the energy of the body, which is the essence of chakra!"
Danzo was convinced and nodded: "I know, I will prepare the materials for you."
Orochimaru nodded, then reminded: "It's best to have every level."
Danzo nodded, then turned to leave the laboratory, but stopped at the door: "Pay more attention to the position of Hokage, don't be careless!"
Orochimaru nodded calmly: "Don't worry, I understand."
...
After a comfortable bath, Shuichi Hoshita felt refreshed and alive again.
At this time, Asuka was busy in the kitchen.
After drying his hair, Shuichi Hoshita leaned against the door, looking at Asuka who was busy in a floral dress and apron, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten Asuka's cooking for a long time, I must eat enough this time."
Asuka turned around and smiled happily: "Then I'll make more."
"Then you can call Nonou back to eat together!"
Pharmacist Nonou and Shizune also returned from the front line, and Shuichi Hoshita could sense their chakra.
After chatting with Asuka for a few more words, Shuichi Hoshita went to Konoha Hospital for a walk, and after agreeing to have dinner with Pharmacist Nonou and Shizune, he went to the experimental base.
Tsunade is indeed here.
But when she looked up and saw Shuichi Hoshita, who was already taller than herself, Tsunade was stunned: Why is this kid so tall?
Hoshita Shuichi was very proud when he saw Tsunade's expression: "Tsunade-sama, why, don't you recognize me?"
Tsunade snorted coldly and said venomously: "I thought you would die on the battlefield, you are so pushy!"
Hoshita Shuichi came to Tsunade, picked up the necklace around his neck and shook it: "I have been blessed by Tsunade-hime, how can I die on the battlefield so easily?"
Tsunade glanced at it and said coldly: "I heard that the tailed beast is going to be returned, but you still have to die."
"Have you become overconfident in three years?"
"You dare to promise something that you haven't yet fulfilled?"
Shuichi Hoshita was confident: "It shouldn't take three years!"
"I have mastered the art of spiritualization and developed a spiritual clone based on the art of spiritualization."
"In addition, I also mastered the sealing technique of sealing off corpses and ghosts, and created the sealing technique of Fire Netherworld Lock."
"Next, we only need to seal the soul based on the Fire Nether Lock, and then we can divide the tailed beast."
Tsunade frowned as she listened.
Hoshita Shuichi continued: "Moreover, if I take ten thousand steps back, even if I don't complete this sealing technique, I still have a way."
"Tsunade-sama won't forget the Eight-Tailed Horn we are cultivating, right?"
"When the time comes, the horn of the eight tails will be implanted into the body, which will be enough to maintain the vitality of the tailed beast after it is taken away."
Of course he wouldn't say that he wanted to eat the Eight-Tailed Horn alive, after all, it sounded a bit perverted.
Tsunade relaxed her brows and hummed softly: "Just be sensible."
Shuichi Hoshishita immediately changed the subject with a smile: "How is the cell research of the First Generation Master going?"
Tsunade smiled: "Not bad, Orochimaru's research has been very in-depth."
"So far, I have weakened my grandfather's cell activity, but it is still a bit difficult for us to do this."
Shuichi Hoshita encouraged: "If you take this step, you won't be too far away from success."
Tsunade nodded, and then said: "The previous experimental information has been sorted out, you can get it yourself."
"I've also saved the cultured samples. You know the location."
Hoshita nodded, then turned around and left the laboratory, but did not immediately go to see the information on Hashirama's cells. Instead, he came to the tailed beast cell cultivation room.
This is the place where the four tails and the horns of the eight tails are cultivated.
The Eight-Tailed Corner has the foundation of Orochimaru before, and is already one person tall.
And the four-tailed tail is as long as an arm.
Hoshita Shuichi looked at it and couldn't help but secretly murmured: "Now, there is no need to eat them all, right?"
I haven't caught the Four-Tails before, so I thought of eating a whole Four-Tails tail to increase the chakra limit of the Little Four-Tails.
However, it will not be wasted if it is cultivated. Part of the tailed beast's body is still very useful for experiments.
For example, cloning experiments, or directional cloning experiments!
Thinking of Hoshita Hide taking out the Eight-Tails Horn from the culture vessel, and then injecting the Eight-Tails Chakra.
Sure enough, the Eight-Tails Horn grew rapidly after absorbing the Eight-Tails Chakra.
When almost one-tenth of the eight-tailed chakra in Hoshixia Shuichi's body was consumed, the eight-tailed horn finally stopped growing, but it also reached a complete state!
"Come here to eat secretly at night..."
"Forget it, let's eat some now."
Hoshita Shuichi pulled out his Tenboshi sword and cut off a small piece from the top of the Eight-Tailed Horn.
After putting away the knife, Xingxiaxiu opened and moved his mouth, then closed his eyes and opened his mouth to bite.
Crunchy!
Huh?
Doesn’t it seem that bad?
