Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Well, the problem has circled back to Sakura.

Tsunade slapped her forehead and sent someone to fetch Sakura.

Soon, without keeping anyone waiting long, a flash of pink light appeared in the office, and Sakura appeared out of thin air. She stood still, looked at Naruto who was present, and asked in confusion, "Master, who is looking for me?"

"Do you have any of Naruto's first generation cells? Give me some," Tsunade said.

Upon hearing this, Sakura's face froze instantly.

With his sharp mind, he quickly understood the reason.

She gave an "oh," activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and jumped to another location. After about half a minute, she jumped back and handed a petri dish to Tsunade.

Sakura surely understands the simple principle that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

Indeed, most of Naruto's cells were looted by Obito, but Sakura still kept a portion of them safe elsewhere.

Tsunade examined the cell sample in the petri dish and said, "Write me a report when you have time."

"Yes," Sakura whispered.

After observing for a while, Tsunade opened the petri dish: "Should we just implant it directly like this? Or are there any procedures or steps that need to be taken into account?"

"Just implant it directly," Sakura said.

Tsunade understood.

The Yin Seal, under the control of the Hundred Healings Technique, was activated.

Without hesitation, he picked up the tiny Naruto cell, about the size of a fingernail, and stuck it on the diamond-shaped mark between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the cell was sealed inside.

By keeping the Yin Seal open, Naruto's cells were able to function, assimilate, and optimize his own cells.

As the granddaughter of the First Hashirama, even without inheriting the Wood Release bloodline limit, her physique is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Hinata, Kushina, Minato, Hanabi, and Sakura all need to be turned off after a while, otherwise excessive assimilation and erosion could endanger their lives.

Tsunade did not do that at all; she directly absorbed and digested the cells of the first generation of Naruto in one step.

Chakra levels, vitality, cellular activity, and self-healing abilities have all been greatly enhanced.

"Is that all?" Tsunade, who was concentrating intently and preparing to close the Yin Seal if things went wrong, asked doubtfully.

"Yes, the integration is practically perfect," Naruto said with a smile.

Sakura, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 264 Examining Sakura's Memories

With Naruto cells implanted and the body possessing the necessary elements, the testing process proceeded smoothly, as if water had naturally flowed through a channel.

Feeling the immense, powerful, and terrifying chakra within her body, now infused with Naruto's chakra, Tsunade murmured to herself.

"I didn't expect there to be so many prerequisites."

This makes it difficult to popularize.

Yin seal.

The art of hundreds of heroes.

Both of these are S-level difficulty levels, valuing talent more than diligence and hard work.

Without talent, not being smart enough, and unable to master and apply a large amount of knowledge, you can't learn these two techniques, so don't expect to safely implant Naruto's cells.

Without Naruto's cells, the so-called chakra fusion becomes a privilege that only a select few can possess.

"fair enough."

Tsunade thought again. If it were too easy to achieve and popularize, her own people could master it, which would also mean that the enemy could easily popularize it as well.

To ensure peace of mind, while strengthening one's own forces, one must also find ways to weaken the enemy and prevent them from acquiring power equal to or even stronger than one's own.

After the test, having understood the parts she didn't understand, Tsunade spoke up.

"It is expected that all those who meet the criteria will be able to arrive in three days. Until then, you should be prepared and get yourself into the best possible condition."

"If the people in the village fail to help you find Obito, then you should place your hopes on the upcoming Five Kage Summit."

"By uniting the ninjas of the five great ninja villages and gathering a total of over 100,000 ninjas, I don't believe we can't achieve our goal."

"In short, I will do everything in my power to support you and use all available resources. I have only one request."

"We must kill him; we can't let him escape."

“This is also what I’m pursuing,” Naruto nodded.

Seeing this, Tsunade was amused and sent Naruto away, leaving Sakura behind.

I don't know what they talked about, but they talked for a full half hour. In the end, Sakura, looking dejected and listless, walked out of the Hokage Building.

"Hey, are you alright?" Naruto, who had been waiting outside, spoke up when he saw that Sakura hadn't noticed him and had left on her own.

Sakura jumped and turned around: "Naruto! You were waiting for me all this time?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Naruto asked curiously. "Thinking that you might run into trouble, I can put in a good word for you if necessary."

"I see." Sakura said knowingly, glancing to the side, and muttered, "Thank you."

"It feels like it's been a long time since I've had a one-on-one conversation with you like this," Naruto said, scratching his head and chuckling.

Since Sakura got her lab, she often goes out with Ino.

The two were inseparable, always together.

Most importantly, Naruto himself was intentionally keeping his distance from Sakura.

He constantly reminded himself that his feelings for Sakura should remain within the boundaries of good friends and should not be crossed.

So, gradually it became like this.

"Yes, it's been a long time," Sakura whispered.

“I will try my best to find Sasuke’s settlement, his current home, as soon as possible,” Naruto said.

"You two haven't spoken to each other in a long time, have you?"

"While he's still single and doesn't have a partner, spend more time with him, get closer to him, and you'll eventually be able to marry him."

"The Third Hokage, Danzo, and the two advisors—these four individuals directly responsible for the Uchiha clan's extermination—are all dead."

“Sasuke has no reason to do anything against Konoha anymore, nor does he have the inclination. Right now, he just wants to defeat me as a rival.”

"Of course, given what Sasuke has done, it might be difficult for him to return to Konoha. But that's okay. He can buy a house outside or simply travel around."

"Your child can also be cared for by me, and I guarantee she'll receive the same treatment as my own child. She..."

Sakura's fist landed lightly on Naruto's kidney, interrupting his incessant, machine-gun-like nagging.

"Are you my dad? Why are you interfering so much?" Sakura said irritably.

"After all, it's a promise I made a long time ago." Naruto rubbed the spot where he had been hit without a care and smiled. "Since you like Sasuke so much, I will definitely help you catch up with Sasuke."

Upon hearing this, Sakura stopped in her tracks.

Naruto, who had taken two steps, looked back in confusion.

Sakura's gaze lingered briefly on Naruto's few undyed white hairs. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said without considering the consequences.

"Actually, that masked man, Obito Uchiha, tampered with my soul."

"What did you say?!" Naruto's expression changed. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I don't want to cause you any trouble," Sakura lied without batting an eye.

"Deep down, I always feel uneasy. As someone who has already died once, I am still afraid and terrified of death."

"What kind of hands and feet are they? What is their purpose?" Naruto asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, I only vaguely remember something, it's related to my memories." Sakura didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, revealing her true purpose.

"Naruto, could you please check my memories thoroughly, from childhood to adulthood, leaving no stone unturned and not overlooking any suspicious detail?"

Without a second thought, Naruto approached Sakura and was about to place his hand on her head when he stopped at the last moment and spoke.

"Checking your memories is a matter of your privacy, so it would be better to let Ino do it."

Grabbing Naruto's hand as he tried to pull it back, Sakura gently placed it on her head, her eyes lowered as she gazed at Naruto's clothes, and spoke calmly.

“You’re better than her. If Ino can’t find anything, she’ll still have to come to you in the end. It’s better for you to do it directly.”

"As for privacy, I haven't done anything shameful, so I'm not afraid of you seeing it."

Thinking about it, Naruto didn't refuse anymore and began checking Sakura's memories.

The power of the Rinnegan is being consumed.

The corresponding ability used is the Human Realm, the Submerged Heart.

This ability to extract the target's soul and browse their memories is far more powerful than the mind-reading technique passed down by the mountain clan.

It encompasses both the soul memories of the living and the brain memories of the dead.

Even memories that the person involved can no longer recall or have forgotten in some corner can be seen clearly. Faced with this ability, secrets cannot be hidden.

On the bench.

Naruto sat on the left, and Sakura sat on the right.

Naruto, with his eyes closed, examined the object with utmost care.

Sakura, her eyes fixed intently on Naruto, was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Starting from when Sakura was still in her mother's womb, scenes of Sakura's memories unfold before Naruto's eyes like a slideshow.

He checked everything meticulously, going through each item in turn.

Chapter 265 Hinata's Daydreams

Time passed by minute by minute.

Naruto's face was covered in cold sweat.
