What would Tsunade's reaction be?
She was very happy.
"Hehe... Ji proposed to me..."
"
In the ancestral grounds of the Senju Clan, Tsunade smiled foolishly.
"Stop muttering about it."
Uzumaki Mito looked at her infatuated expression and couldn't help but interrupt, "From just now until now, you've already muttered it over a dozen times."
"Even if you're not tired of saying it, I'm getting a bit tired of hearing it."
"Hehe... I'm going to marry Ji..."
1
In front of her, Tsunade turned a deaf ear, still wearing that infatuated look.
Well, she was a lost cause.
Uzumaki Mito sighed helplessly.
At first, she was happy for Tsunade, but gradually, she couldn't take it anymore.
After all, no matter who it is, having someone constantly flaunt their affection right under their nose is bound to cause some adverse reactions.
Even Uzumaki Mito, who was already an elderly woman, was no exception.
"Wow, what a massive infatuated fool!"
A moment later, Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, also returned. Looking at Tsunade, he shouted, "You're drooling, you dummy!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a scream followed.
Nawaki's scream was tragic, echoing throughout the area.
Fortunately, after Nawaki's interruption, Tsunade's infatuation symptoms seemed to have lessened slightly.
But after only half a day, she reverted to her old ways.
"I'm getting married to Ji! You guys, remember to all come to the wedding when the time comes!"
In the laboratory, she shouted at Orochimaru and the others.
"We know, we know."
Orochimaru nodded helplessly, silently complaining, "What a terrible state to be in."
"Can't you let us do our experiments in peace?"
He had recently been studying the Reincarnation Jutsu and had reached a critical point; his head was now full of his own experiments, and he had no interest in anything else.
"Is Teacher really going to marry her?"
On the side, Hiruko's face was full of confusion. "Orochimaru, why do you think Teacher took a liking to her?"
"She clearly only thinks about gambling and eating, has no scientific spirit at all, and we can't relate to her at all."
"I don't know."
Orochimaru shook his head. "In fact, I'm quite curious about that myself."
In the hearts of Orochimaru and Hiruko, Minamikawa Yuu had always been the image of a calm researcher.
He was knowledgeable, always able to point the way when they were lost, and would actively explore various difficulties encountered in scientific research with them, working together to overcome them. He was truly a guiding light on their scientific path, a nearly perfect researcher.
As it turned out, such a perfect person would actually have secular thoughts like getting married.
And the person he was marrying was even Tsunade.
It wasn't that they thought Tsunade wasn't excellent enough, they just felt she and Minamikawa Yuu didn't really match well.
"Marriage is such a boring thing."
Hiruko shook his head, somewhat dismissive. "Orochimaru, do you have any thoughts of getting married in the future?"
"What do you think?"
Orochimaru looked at Hiruko with interest. "That kind of thing would only interfere with my experiments."
"Marriage is just something derived from the human instinct to procreate, but I am destined for eternal life and have no need for such things."
"Humph, me too."
Hiruko snorted coldly. "Only power is the eternal pursuit. Women and such are far too boring."
"But this is Teacher's business after all."
He thought for a moment, his face serious. "I think we should still send a gift."
"That seems right."
Orochimaru thought about it and then nodded.
Regardless of their views on marriage, they truly respected Minamikawa Yuu, and it was only right and proper to offer their blessings.
At night, when no one was around, Minamikawa Yuu walked into the laboratory alone.
After several days of preparation, all the materials needed for the transformation ceremony were ready.
Minamikawa Yuu's arrival now was for the final step.
On the operating table, he first mixed the Nine-Tailed's cells with the first hokages cells.
The liquid medicine made from first hokages cells could effectively suppress the violent nature of the Nine-Tailed's cells and reduce their danger.
On one side of the lab bench, several Chakra gems were also placed.
These gems contained a large amount of Chakra, which Minamikawa Yuu had managed to collect over the past two years.
Although it couldn't compare to his time as the son of heaven of the ancestral country, as the Hokage, his power was not small, so the amount of Chakra collected through various means was also not to be underestimated.
This Chakra served as insurance to maintain the consumption of the Karma within Minamikawa Yuu's body.
Even for Minamikawa Yuu, devouring the Nine-Tailed's cells was a high-risk endeavor; a slight oversight could lead to personal problems.
But as long as nothing went wrong with the Karma on his body, he would be fine.
"With the power of the Karma, governing the Nine-Tailed's Chakra shouldn't be a problem."
Before the operation began, as Minamikawa Yuu prepared various procedures, this thought flashed through his mind.
After all, the Nine-Tailed was only a part of the Ten-Tails. While powerful, it should have no room for resistance against the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Karma.
As long as Minamikawa Yuu could keep the Karma activated throughout the process, there wouldn't be much risk in absorbing the Nine-Tailed's Chakra.
"Well then, let's begin..."
"
With all the preparations complete, Minamikawa Yuu took a deep breath and lay down on the operating table.
As in the past, he did not let others perform the surgery this time either. Instead, he created several clones to perform the surgery on himself.
The reason for this was not a lack of trust in others.
It was simply that within the entire Konoha, Minamikawa Yuu himself was the top Medical Ninja.
In all of Konoha, and likely the entire Ninja World, it was doubtful anyone's Medical Ninjutsu was stronger than his.
In that case, it was better to do it himself.
As the surgery progressed, the essence liquid refined from the Nine-Tailed's flesh and blood was injected into his body.
The next moment, Minamikawa Yuu suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, a pair of crimson Sharingan suddenly appeared, with the three tomoe within them spinning continuously.
Terrifying emotions were breeding and festering within his body.
Along with the arrival of the Nine-Tailed's flesh, Minamikawa Yuu's emotions were also drawn by the resentment it carried, beginning to explode involuntarily.
A desire for destruction rose in his heart, wanting to get up regardless of everything and destroy everything in front of him.
Fortunately, Minamikawa Yuu was well-prepared for this situation.
Soon, the preset barrier was activated, its power locking Minamikawa Yuu within and causing him to lose control over his body.
A hazy scene appeared before his eyes.
At some point, Minamikawa Yuu appeared in a hazy black space.
A massive Nine-Tailed appeared before him.
Unlike the usual Nine-Tailed, the one before him seemed like an incarnation of calamity, with absolutely no wisdom or reason to speak of, only pure negative emotions.
