New Year, new atmosphere. The young Hokage's rise to power has brought Konoha a new lease of life.
The 48th year of Konoha has quietly arrived.
After returning from the orphanage with Yakushi Nono and the others, Hoshita Shuichi received a piece of news.
Uzumaki Kushina is pregnant!
This means that if no changes are made, the Nine-Tailed Beast Rebellion will begin the countdown.
Hoshita Shuichi felt a sense of urgency, so before the New Year's excitement had even worn off, he went to the Amegakure to fight with Nagato.
Nagato has become stronger again!
After returning to Konoha from the Amegakure, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly laughed: "It's actually not bad to have an opponent."
Continue practicing!
at the same time.
In the Hokage's office, Namikaze Minato said to Kakashi who knocked on the door, "Kushina is pregnant, so for the next period of time, I'll trouble you to be responsible for secretly protecting her until the birth."
Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Congratulations, teacher, you're going to be a father."
Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded: "Yes, so I will trouble you next."
Kakashi immediately nodded solemnly: "I understand!"
He already knew that Uzumaki Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Although I don't know if childbirth will weaken the seal, but a pregnant woman, even the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, will be very vulnerable!
And Obito...
Thinking of this, Kakashi felt a little more worried.
Namikaze Minato saw through Kakashi's thoughts and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
…
"Practicing cannot stop..."
After leaving the Hokage Building, Kakashi looked up at the not-so-glaring sun, then created four shadow clones to practice, and then jumped to the home of his teacher Namikaze Minato.
The mission starts today.
Time flies and it's already March.
Before he knew it, Hoshita Shuichi had turned 15 years old. His height had reached 1.78 meters and he looked almost the same as an adult.
However, he spent his birthday this year in the experimental base.
Because the research on Asuka's cells finally produced a significant result.
…
"Next, do you plan to try to transplant it directly into White Zetsu?"
Tsunade asked with a frown as she looked at the mass of flesh in front of her that looked like the White Zetsu's expansion.
But this is not simply cultivated from White Zetsu cells, but a product obtained by adding Asuka's cells and blending them with the Tailed Beast's chakra.
It looks similar to White Zetsu, but even Tsunade can feel that it is different from White Zetsu.
Hoshita Shuichi heard it and shook his head: "Of course not."
"Try it on a small animal first. There will definitely be no problem with White Zetsu."
"The key is ordinary people. White Zetsu is not an ordinary species."
White Zetsu is a very good experimental material, and Hoshita Shuichi always does human body modification on White Zetsu first.
"Then let's start with the little white mouse!"
Tsunade rolled up her sleeves.
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and let Tsunade busy herself first, while he went to the Death Forest to catch small animals.
Chimpanzees, black bears...soon there were more than a dozen large animals in the experimental base.
Back in the laboratory, Tsunade has completed the cell transplant on the first mouse.
Looking at the little white mouse running around in the glass box, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "It seems that there is no problem in terms of danger."
Tsunade nodded slightly, then said, "Then let's continue!"
She grabbed the little white mouse, then cut off its tail with a sharp sword.
The two men stared at it, but the mouse's tail did not grow back on its own.
Tsunade frowned, "It seems that the power of Grandfather's cells has been completely suppressed."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "But it looks like the little white mouse is a little agitated."
Tsunade observed for a moment and said, "Continue to see what's happening with the other animals."
Transplantation continues.
This time, the large animals that Hoshita Shuichi brought back from the Forest of Death were transplanted one by one and then kept in cages for observation.
Roar!
Aww!
After waking up, the animals became a little agitated.
The experiment continues.
Hoshita Shuichi and Tsunade left wounds on these animals one by one and then observed them.
There is no spontaneous healing.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Hoshita Shuichi exclaimed in surprise.
Tsunade looked over immediately and saw the chimpanzee licking his wounds.
The most important thing is that the wounds are healing.
Tsunade was immediately surprised: "It accidentally controls the power contained in the cells!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and nodded: "It should be."
"Proactively stimulate the ability to heal yourself."
Asuka has a very strange ability. She cannot heal herself when she is injured, and has to bite herself, like a switch.
As for this, Hoshita Shuichi thinks that the reason is not because Asuka's physique requires a bite, but it is related to her childhood experiences.
This switch is man-made, added by experience, and can even be understood as a mental illness.
Hashirama's cells are passive self-healing, while Asuka's cells are active self-healing.
For the next few days, Hoshita Shuichi and Tsunade stayed and ate at the experimental base, observing the conditions of the animals.
These animals also gradually calmed down from their initial restlessness.
Three days later, Tsunade said, "We can proceed to the next step."
Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "Let's slow down a little bit."
"Try using my summoning beast first."
Summoning beast?
Tsunade was puzzled.
Hoshita Shuichi raised his hand and pressed it, and with a bang, a big white tiger appeared.
The little tiger cub has grown into the king of the forest, more than 5 meters long.
"Sir Shuichi!"
As soon as Little White came out, he used his big head to rub people.
Tsunade looked at it in confusion and said, "Is this the summoning beast you had back then? It can actually talk."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "I was persistent and spent eight or nine years continuously feeding chakra and secret medicine."
Tsunade nodded, "Looks like we're lucky."
That's true.
It is not possible to raise a psychic animal that can speak and has the same intelligence as humans just by feeding it.
Otherwise, such psychic beasts would have been all over the streets.
Hoshita Shuichi patted Little White's head and said, "Call someone, this is Tsunade, Konoha's strongest female ninja, a female medical ninja."
Little White quickly greeted, "Master Tsunade, I'm Little White, and I've often heard Shuichi-sama talk about you."
Tsunade nodded slightly, then said, "Shuichi, are you sure you want to give him the transplant?"
In her opinion, Little White is one of her own and his priority is definitely higher than that of the enemy.
However, Hoshita Shuichi was confident: "Previous experiments have shown that there is no problem, it's just the level of effectiveness."
After hearing this, Tsunade stopped persuading him and nodded, "Let's get started!"
The second round of experiments begins, the subject is the psychic beast Little White.
The cell implantation experiment is not complicated.
But it was over in half an hour.
In the empty room filled with magic rituals, Little White woke up, and Hoshita Shuichi immediately asked: "How do you feel?"
Little White first growled, then shook his head, and then said with excitement and excitement: "Shuichi-sama, I feel very powerful now, and I really want to have a big fight."
Just like the animals before him, Little White seemed quite restless after waking up, but he was able to restrain himself due to his intelligence. However, he still seemed excited and wanted to go out and play.
"No rush, try your healing ability first."
Hoshita Shuichi raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A wind blade flew out and cut a gash in Little White's leg.
Outside, Tsunade was also staring at Little White's wound through the glass.
Unlike those wild beasts, Little White is a summoning beast that can speak and has mastered chakra.
"Little White, try to mobilize the new power in your body."
Hoshita Shuichi reminded and guided.
Little White nodded, and then the wound on his leg healed quickly.
"sharp!"
Little White growled, then said excitedly: "Shuichi-sama, I feel like I can use that technique now."
Hoshita Shuichi was not in a hurry and asked, "Little White, why are you so excited?"
Little White sharpened his claws while thinking, "Because the power in my body is very strong, and it's like I've been sleeping for a long time, I can't help but want to go out for a walk."
Life is in movement, life is in restlessness.
Hoshita Shuichi thought that Little White's expression was not very clear, but it was much better than those speechless beasts.
At this time, Tsunade walked in and said, "This shows that the power of grandfather's cells has indeed been suppressed, but it is not perfect."
"The cell activation was suppressed, but the increase in strength still affected the human spirit."
The body and the spirit are very closely connected, just like the influence of yin and yang on each other.
Uchiha's Sharingan affects chakra through the mind, and chakra acts on the body.
Now it is obvious that the physical changes have affected the spirit.
But the impact is not significant.
However, if it is transplanted into the human body, especially into one's own human body, it must be further improved.
"Let's go out and try out Little White's abilities."
Hoshita Shuichi and his companion, the tiger, left the experimental base and came to a convenient open space.
From a distance of seven or eight meters, Hoshita Shuichi and Little White hooked their fingers.
"Sir Shuichi, be careful!"
Little White gave a warning, then let out a low growl, and a strong wind immediately formed around him.
Tsunade could clearly see the vacuum blade airflow condensed into substance in the strong wind: "This ability is not inferior to that of a jonin."
The surging gale swept towards Hoshita Shuichi under Little White's control.
However, this level of attack posed no threat to Hoshita Shuichi. He raised his hand and the strong wind was torn apart.
Since training Little White, Hoshita Shuichi has never summoned him to fight.
Too weak.
Although he has mastered wind jutsu, his ability is only about the same as that of a Chunin and is of no use.
In the future, I will just be a playmate for my children.
But now...
Looking at Little White, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "This is not enough."
Little White didn't say anything, but opened his mouth wide and condensed chakra in his mouth.
Boom!
The air exploded, and a huge wind ball shot out from Little White's mouth.
wind release - Tiger Cannonball!
This is a ninjutsu that Little White created based on the previous guidance of Hoshita Shuichi. In fact, it is no different from the Vacuum Ball and Shukaku's Air Bullet.
This had never been achieved before, but now that the cells were transplanted, the effect broke out immediately.
Hoshita Shuichi's eyes lit up as he looked at her: "He has some of Shukaku's style."
As he spoke, he raised his palm like a sword and chopped down. His hand was also covered with wind chakra, which made a buzzing sound.
Boom!
The tiger shell was directly split by Hoshita Shuichi, and the air flow rolled to both sides, blowing Tsunade's robe and ponytail flying as she watched the battle.
Little White was stunned when he saw his special move being broken by a palm.
Hoshita Shuichi was quite satisfied and asked with a smile: "Anything else?"
"Can you mobilize other forces?"
Little White Tiger scratched his head: "It seems to be gone."
Tsunade thought, "I should probably learn by doing like Yamato did."
"But Little White can't form seals, so it's probably going to be hard for him to learn it."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded after hearing this.
The reason why Little White mastered wind jutsu was mostly due to his training and daily infusion of wind jutsu chakra.
But it should be very difficult to discover Wood Release.
After all, Little White is not a human.
However, Hoshita Shuichi was not disappointed and smiled and said, "This is already very good."
"That wind jutsu just now is something that an average jonin can't do."
Little White has an advantage in this regard, as his mouth is big enough to compress a large enough wind ball in his mouth.
"Let's go back to the Forest of Death, but don't make too much noise."
After instructing Little White, Hoshita Shuichi cancelled the summoning and said to Tsunade, "Continue to adjust."
Tsunade nodded, her heart full of anticipation.
If further stabilized, this achievement will be able to solve many problems.
Especially with White Zetsu.
