After obtaining two White Zetsu, Orochimaru immediately began to conduct experiments with great interest.
The first thing he did was to check the specific conditions of the two White Zetsu.
"It is indeed a defective product, but it is better than the one called Yamato."
Orochimaru's eyes became more and more fiery.
Of course, this strength does not mean that White Zetsu's Wood Release is stronger than Yamato, but in terms of vitality.
The key is that the Hashirama cells in White Zetsu's body are very stable.
However, Orochimaru knew very well that even if it was White Zetsu's cells, he certainly had no way to transplant them now.
So after thoroughly understanding the White Zetsu, Orochimaru immediately gave the two White Zetsu a snake kiss, implanting them with a curse seal that had just been developed not long ago.
When it comes to the ability to withstand the curse seal, White Zetsu is obviously much stronger than his disciple Anko, and he quickly adapted to it.
Orochimaru then proceeded to the next step, which was to transplant Hashirama's cells to further strengthen the two White Zetsu.
…
Konoha.
Hoshita Shuichi did not interfere or participate in the negotiations on the alliance between Konoha and the Kirigakure. The specific details were not his strong point, and he was not the Hokage, so he had already done what he should do.
So he put his mind back on practicing.
Especially now that it's the end of the year, it's time to use the once-a-year "flash of inspiration".
Death forest, tree canopy.
Hoshita Shuichi lowered his eyes, first completely sealed his star curse seal, and then his body continued to absorb natural energy.
However, what is different from the past is that it was not refined into immortal power, but allowed to infiltrate the cells.
Then, after the huge natural energy enters the body, it begins to affect the body and mind.
At this moment, countless noisy voices seemed to ring in Hoshita Shuichi's ears, as if countless people were chattering in his ears, making him irritated and angry.
As more natural energy flowed into the body, the situation became more serious, with not only auditory hallucinations but also visual hallucinations appearing.
However, Hoshita Shuichi's spirit was strong enough and his concentration was at full throttle, so he was not affected for the time being. He just opened his eyes with a slight frown and looked at his body.
The body was mutated!Scales grew on the arms, and bone spurs grew out of the spine on the back, piercing through the clothes.
The coccyx also changed and continued to grow, forming a tail covered with golden scales, like a snake's tail.
Moreover, this alienation continues as natural energy continues to be absorbed.
Big lumps appeared on his body, as if something was about to grow out of them, and horns grew on his forehead.
These are out of control.
"This is the uncontrolled sage transformation..."
Hoshita Shuichi carefully felt the changes in his body: "The cells absorbed natural energy but could not digest it, so cell proliferation occurred... uncontrollable, disordered proliferation, similar to a tumor."
"But this proliferation is not without basis. It is related to my own consciousness."
"Or it may have something to do with the environment."
Hoshita Shuichi noticed that his legs were beginning to become wooden.
He immediately controlled the intake of natural energy, and the alienation stopped immediately.
"If you lose control while practicing Sage Mode and absorb too much natural energy, various situations will occur."
"The petrification of Mount Myoboku into a toad is related to the fact that most people who practice in Mount Myoboku will use toad oil."
"So Jiraiya's Sage Mode has the characteristics of a toad, and Naruto absorbed natural energy and then was absorbed by Pain and turned into a toad. This is related to Naruto's own consciousness. He also practiced the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku."
Consciousness affects chakra, and also affects the natural energy absorbed into your body.
"So, Jūgo's transformation into a sage is indeed very rare. Even if he loses his mind, it is limited."
Hoshita Shuichi thought to himself: "It's not like practicing the Sage Mode. Once you lose control, you may die immediately."
"However, it is not difficult for me to master the level of sage transformation."
"The key lies in mastering the proliferation of sage cells..."
Jugo's moves are actually the result of mastering the proliferation of sage cells.
"But, those fighting moves of Jūgo are of no use to me."
"My ultimate goal in developing Sage Transformation is to reach a state like the Tailed Beasts, where I can directly absorb natural energy to replenish my physical strength."
Hoshita Shuichi continued to try silently.
First, refine the Senjutsu Chakra, and the sage transformation will be quickly lifted.
Then he continued to absorb natural energy to become an immortal, but this time he began to try to control the impact of the sage transformation on his body.
Sure enough, this was not difficult for him.
The scales can be kept, but the bone spurs are discarded. The snake tail... can also be tried, and the wings can be tried.
As he became more and more familiar with the sage transformation, Hoshita Shuichi found the fun of making characters.
In a blink of an eye, Mei Terumi and others had been in Konoha for four days.
When Mei Terumi and others were about to leave, they were taken by Genma Shiranui to a room in the basement of the Hokage Building.
When she arrived here, Mei Terumi saw Hoshita Shuichi, whom she hadn't seen for four days, standing on a round platform.
On the platform and on the floor, Mei Terumi and others could see a large number of talismans engraved, forming a complicated ritual.
"Shuichi, what is this?"
Mei Terumi asked after she brought Ao and Nakayoshi to the platform.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and introduced: "The application of Flying Thunder God Technique, time and space technique, you can call it time and space teleportation array."
Mei Terumi and the other two were all shocked when they heard this.
Ao quickly asked, "Master Shuichi, can this teleport people directly to the village?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "If you know the coordinates, of course there will be no problem."
"So, I plan to set up one in the Kirigakure, hosted by a perception ninja, so that the two villages can establish contact as quickly as possible."
Ao opened his mouth wide: "This... can this really be done?"
Shuichi smiled but said nothing.
This space-time teleportation array was actually developed by his shadow clone and his teacher Namikaze Minato's shadow clone over the past few days.
The difficulty is not high, and the technique is derived from the Flying Thunder God technique.
In fact, the origin of the Flying Thunder God technique can be traced back to the art of spiritualism.
This space-time teleportation formation can even be simply understood as using two spells as points to activate the ninja in the formation and teleport oneself to another point.
Of course, this requires a huge amount of chakra.
So at this moment there are four Konoha ninjas surrounding this formation. They will inject chakra later, and Hoshita Shuichi will sense and locate the coordinates.
Because at this moment, the Kirigakure has not built another space-time teleportation array.
After making preparations, Hoshita Shuichi nodded to the Konoha ninja who was responsible for inputting chakra.
The next moment, the four of them injected chakra at the same time, the huge technique was activated, and a strong white light burst out, covering Hoshita Shuichi and others.
Swish!
Everyone disappeared from the stage in an instant.
The next moment, Hoshita Shuichi and others appeared outside the Kirigakure.
"That's amazing!"
Ao was sincerely amazed.
Nakayoshi said: "In this way, we don't have to worry about the Akatsuki organization raiding us!"
Mei Terumi smiled and said, "Once the village's space-time teleportation array is built, you, Nakayoshi, will be in charge!"
Nakayoshi nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mizukage-sama!"
When they entered the Kirigakure, the space teleportation array was naturally arranged by Ao. Hoshita Shuichi only sent a clone, while he went home with Mei Terumi.
After entering and closing the door, Terumi Mei turned around and was hanging on Hoshita Shuichi.
It was just the time when she was getting addicted to the taste of food. After a few days of emptiness, Terumi Mei's aura was now extremely hot.
Hoshita Shuichi immediately ran to the bathroom.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
After having lunch, Hoshita Shuichi and Mei Terumi sent her to the Mizukage's office, then kissed her goodbye and left the Kirigakure.
After returning to Konoha, Hoshita Shuichi came to the Forest of Death to continue his training to become an sage.
at the same time.
At Konoha Hospital, Tsunade looked at the unconscious Mitarashi Anko, turned to the Yakushi Nono and asked, "What happened?"
Yakushi Nono said: "There are no other problems. The key is the curse seal on her neck. It is the power of sage arts, which has caused great pressure on her body and mind."
Tsunade leaned over to check, and sure enough, she saw three magatama symbols on Mitarashi Anko's neck, and snorted coldly: "That bastard Orochimaru actually used his own disciple for experiments."
At this time, Namikaze Minato came in from outside.
"Hokage-sama!"
Medical ninjas including Yakushi Nono and Shizune all greeted him.
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly and looked at Mitarashi Anko: "What's going on?"
Tsunade said, "Orochimaru's senjutsu curse seal is probably imperfect, so he used it on Anko as an experiment."
"Let's just let that bastard Shuichi come over."
It turned out to be Orochimaru, and it was related to senjutsu. After hearing this, Namikaze Minato nodded in agreement.
Yakushi Nono said immediately: "Shizune, go to the root and call Shuichi's shadow clone over."
"yes!"
Shizune nodded quickly and turned away.
Soon, Hoshita Shuichi brought Shizune back to the ward.
"When did Anko come back?"
Hoshita Shuichi asked as he checked on Anko's condition.
Shizune said, "He showed up at the entrance of the village half an hour ago. He was in a very bad condition, so he was sent here."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "The curse seal is based on the power of sage transformation, yes, that is, the power of Jugo."
Namikaze Minato frowned and said, "If the power of senjutsu gets out of control, it will endanger life, right?"
Tsunade replied: "It is true for the situation of practicing Sage Mode, but the person Orochimaru found is very special. He was born with the ability to become a Sage, so it is relatively controllable."
"But the side effects are very serious, including loss of emotional control, cell proliferation and mutation, and it is difficult for ordinary people to master this power."
"You, the Fourth Hokage, have also mastered the Sage Mode. You should understand that natural energy is difficult to control."
Namikaze Minato nodded: "Indeed."
"So, is there a solution to Anko's situation?"
"Or can we only use sealing techniques to temporarily seal the curse left by Orochimaru?"
He is also a jack of all trades, and the first thing he thought of was the sealing technique.
Hoshita Shuichi had already finished the examination and said, "Teacher, if we want to solve this problem completely, we must remove the chakra that Orochimaru left in Mitarashi Anko's body."
Standing up and shaking his head, Hoshita Shuichi said: "It is not possible to do this for the time being."
The main body's research on sage transformation is not enough.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Let me use my curse seal to suppress Orochimaru's curse seal first."
Compared to Orochimaru's Curse Seal, the Star Curse Seal is milder, but his chakra is stronger than Orochimaru's and can completely suppress Orochimaru's chakra in Mitarashi Anko's body.
Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "That's it!"
Hoshita Shuichi immediately asked Shizune to help Mitarashi Anko up, and pressed on the back of her neck. A lotus pattern covered Orochimaru's original curse pattern.
The unconscious Mitarashi Anko frowned and looked painful, but the pain soon disappeared and was replaced by unprecedented relief.
Orochimaru's curse was suppressed by the Star Seal and no longer eroded Mitarashi Anko's body, relieving her pain.
"Okay, you'll wake up soon."
Hoshita Shuichi withdrew his hand, and then walked out of the ward with Namikaze Minato.
"Shuichi, I have already agreed with the Kirigakure to reopen the old site of the Whirlpool Country."
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Kushina wants to go back and take a look. I'll trouble you to accompany her after the New Year."
Hoshita Shuichi agreed immediately after hearing this: "No problem."
"It's just right to bring Sister Asuka along then."
After the destruction of the Whirlpool Country, that place has been in an abandoned state.
During the last Ninja World War, it was actually the battlefield between Konoha and the Kirigakure.
Restarting the Whirlpool Country does not mean rebuilding Uzushio Village and the Whirlpool Country, but developing this small island and further establishing ties with the Kirigakure and the Water Country.
This can be considered as expanding territory.
In addition to the former site of the Whirlpool Country, this alliance and cooperation with the Kirigakure also involves the development cooperation of many other offshore islands.
After hearing what Namikaze Minato said, Hoshita Shuichi understood that Konoha and the Kirigakure wanted to use the island as a springboard to connect the two villages' spheres of influence.
This is a good thing.
In addition, the Kirigakure will also participate in the first Chunin Tournament next year.
In this way, four of the five major ninja villages have already participated.
Of course, the cooperation with the Kirigakure is not limited to this.
Intelligence sharing, joint efforts to deal with Akatsuki, personnel exchanges, joint mission execution, etc.
Everything will proceed step by step in an orderly manner.
…
Time flies and it is December 29th of the 50th year of Konoha.
In the study.
Having made preparations, Hoshita Shuichi pushed his concentration and thinking speed to the peak, and then activated "A Flash of Inspiration."
Ten minutes is too short.
Even with his thoughts running at super high speed, the same is true for Hoshita Shuichi.
But the effect of "a flash of inspiration" is indeed outstanding.
The moment he opened his eyes, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but smile.
Then he stood up, walked out of the study and came into the yard, raising his right hand with his palm facing forward.
The next moment, in front of the palm, a space-time gate rapidly expanded from a point into a circular passage large enough for a person to pass through.
S-level forbidden space-time technique!
The Flying Thunder God Technique is very useful, but that doesn't mean that other space-time ninjutsu is useless to Hoshita Shuichi.
If you enter the different dimension of Miss Otsutsuki Kaguya, you will not be able to escape with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Therefore, even if it is not for the term "Lord of Space and Time", Hoshita Shuichi must develop space-time ninjutsu similar to Kamui, which can freely enter and exit the different space, in order to increase his means of survival.
Now it's finally done.
"Thanks to the use of the space-time teleportation array this time..."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled to himself, then stepped into the door of time and space.
