Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Chapter 166 Storm Release and Cursed Seal, Madara Uchiha's Intimidation (9K)

Research Department.

Hearing Orochimaru's rather seductive words, Hizashi raised an eyebrow and smiled disdainfully: "Committee Member Orochimaru—"

"What do you take me for? Why are you using such language on me?" Hizashi pointed to the pattern on the Konoha committee member's uniform: "I'm not Iburi or a ninja from the Tsuchigumo clan."

"If the village needs my research, I'm willing to use this body. The Hokage has already arranged everything for me before and after my death. Just speak frankly; this hesitant beating around the bush is unacceptable!"

Hijiri's tone was very harsh.

Even though Orochimaru was one of the main surgeons who performed the bloodline transplant on him, he spoke frankly about it.

Orochimaru was startled.

Although he had long heard about the factions within Konoha—

Hizashi, the spiritual leader of the "Hokage faction," was a ninja whose loyalty to Hiruzen Sarutobi bordered on obsession.

He's not usually difficult to get along with, but when it comes to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he's like a completely different person—

But I never expected it to escalate to this point; a single sentence almost caused a complete falling out!

However, Orochimaru was not annoyed.

Although he wasn't in a hurry to become Hokage, he was constantly training himself and trying to see things from the perspective of a Hokage.

This is how you can gradually get used to it.

Furthermore, if he becomes Hokage in the future, he will naturally want subordinates like Hizashi by his side.

"I apologize for my abruptness, but I had no intention of offending Commissioner Hizashi." Orochimaru sincerely apologized, thinking to himself, "It was indeed my fault. This is Konoha, and the ninjas here have all experienced Master's Will of Fire, not those country bumpkins from other villages—"

"You can dazzle them with just a few words; you need to be careful with your words in the future."

I've eaten and seen Konoha ninjas before!

"It's alright—" Hizashi waved his hand.

"The original idea for this experiment was to use a basic Oni-Garuru technique to transplant Storm Release into you—"

Orochimaru explained, "However, after several medical examinations these past few days, we've found that your cells have excellent compatibility with the special substance from the 'Sage Village,' so we'd like to ask if you'd like a one-time transplant."

"I must inform you that the mortality rate of undergoing dual fusion will increase significantly, but we will do our best to ensure your safety. All of Konoha's medical resources have been activated at full capacity for you, under the teacher's instructions."

The so-called "Village of Immortals" refers to a special ninja clan that Orochimaru found.

The people in this tribe are all born with the ability to absorb natural energy, which makes them incredibly strong and long-lived.

However, the side effects are also obvious.

They become extremely irritable and easily angered; absorbing too much natural energy can also generate an uncontrollable killing intent. In the entire village's records, only a handful of people have been able to overcome this killing intent.

So this "Village of Immortals" was hunted down by ninjas decades ago because it was always killing people, and it hid in a valley.

It wasn't until a year ago that it was discovered by the Anbu, and the relevant information was immediately reported to Orochimaru.

After completing its expansion, the Konoha Anbu had a much larger pool of manpower than before. A portion of its members were specially assigned to gather intelligence throughout the ninja world in order to find the various target resources proposed by Orochimaru, Hiruko, and others.

Orochimaru repeatedly expressed his amazement at the village's power, which greatly enhanced his research efficiency.

If you come across interesting resources in the ancient texts, just follow the proper procedures and report them to the secret service; someone will naturally take note of them.

Unlike before, when I had to travel alone through the ninja world, taking countless detours in the deserts, forests, and oceans, all while trying to conceal and swindle funds—

Orochimaru nowadays is someone who can simply write a few words in the research department and have research materials delivered to his door. Danzo even impeached Orochimaru for being too leisurely.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted with a single sentence: "Researchers must do research!"

Hizashi took Orochimaru's letter and read it carefully.

"If one's willpower is not strong enough, even if the transplant is successful, could one still be swayed by murderous intent?"

Hizashi gave a cold laugh: "I understand, Committee Member Orochimaru—the reason you chose me wasn't just because my cells are compatible with this so-called special substance, but also because you valued my willpower, right?"

Orochimaru nodded calmly: "Who doesn't know you're the teacher's eyes? You're either sleeping or working. The burning will of fire within you is, in my opinion, the most capable thing to overcome this killing intent."

"If this experiment succeeds, Hiruko and I will be able to collect a lot of valuable data, plus the Sage Mode training experience that Jiraiya will bring back soon—"

"I believe that in the not-too-distant future, Konoha will produce one ninja after another who master natural energy."

Hiruko added, "As the first person to volunteer for the experiment, most of the subsequent research was based on your body—however, as the 'first recipient of the cursed seal,' your power is naturally not perfect—"

"We will try to make it up to you in the future, but we cannot give you a complete guarantee, after all, experiments never have a 100% success rate."

Bei Liuhu was secretly worried.

Hizashi devoted a great deal of effort to this research, but later Konoha ninjas were able to obtain even more perfect cursed seal power through it.

This upside-down arrangement is bound to make him feel unbalanced.

"Don't look down on me, you bastard—"

Hizashi seemed to see right through Hiruko's thoughts and almost laughed in anger: "If I thought that way, I should just kill myself right now!"

Hiruko shrugged; he was just going through the motions.

Although he felt that such "post-event warranty" was unnecessary, it was the Hokage's strict requirement.

When resources permit, provide as much humane care as possible in all aspects.

Behind Orochimaru and Hiruko.

It is Tsunade, Kakuzu, and Kushina; this is the emergency medical team prepared for Hizashi.

They are respectively responsible for rescuing survivors of life-threatening conditions and organ failure, and for emergency sealing techniques.

Kakuzu watched this scene and sighed inwardly, once again lamenting that he had arrived in Konoha too late.

Hiruko appears to be cold-hearted and belittles Hijiri's loyalty.

But this is precisely a manifestation of the institutionalization of the Will of Fire in Konoha.

Before a task is carried out, you must provide truthful prior information.

After the mission is completed, it is necessary to implement post-mission support as much as possible, even if the ninjas who carried out the mission actively stated that they did not need any benefits from the village.

This has nothing to do with loyalty.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't need ninjas to prove their loyalty by comparing "who gets less," that would be a meaningless vicious cycle that couldn't be sustained.

"bring it on"

"Whether it's Storm Release or Cursed Seal, let me pave the way for the future Konoha ninja!"

Hiashi laughed heartily: "Everyone, please don't be shy. Feel free to use my body for experiments. Don't worry about me causing you to miss out on data collection—"

"Death is not frightening; my only worry is that my death will not bring more benefits to Konoha!"

"Stop cursing yourself like this. If you die, I don't know how I'll explain it to the Hokage—" Hiruko gestured for Hizashi to lie on the operating table and complained, "If you die, you'll become a hero, but what about our research department? We'll just be complete failures!"

"The Hokage has come several times these past few days, and each time he has instructed us to spare no expense and utilize any resources to save your life!"

Ri was taken aback.

Has the Hokage done so much for him again in silence?

The silent gratitude felt like a mountain weighing heavily on Hizashi's heart.

"I see"

Hizashi took a deep breath and lay down on the operating table: "I misspoke! I will try my best to live on and protect Konoha for the Hokage!"

Hiruko nodded.

The anesthesia tube was inserted into Hitsuzaki's body, and various instruments began to work.

Hizashi lay naked from the waist up on the operating table, his entire body firmly restrained by straps, except for his right shoulder.

Hiruko focused intently on arranging the array of the Oni-Garra Technique on Hizashi's abdomen, his fingertips gathering extremely fine chakra.

The deep purple hue seeped into the body through the fingertips, meandering into intricate and orderly patterns.

This formation is the foundation of the entire operation. It must both lock down the rampage of the external bloodline and receive the subsequent infusion of curse seals, allowing no room for error.

Kushina focused intently on Oni-Garra's formation, maximizing her perception to prevent any minor mistakes.

"The formation here needs to be repaired. The chakra flow is too low, otherwise this place will collapse first when the bloodline goes berserk."

Beiliu Hu immediately bent down to correct himself.

After checking and confirming that the array patterns were perfectly aligned and the chakra flowed smoothly, Kushina nodded and stepped back to the side of the operating table. "Let's begin." Orochimaru's voice was deep, with a hint of barely concealed excitement.

This is extremely rare material—

He stood directly in front of the operating table, a chakra scalpel as thin as a cicada's wing materializing from his fingertips, and precisely sliced ​​open the flesh of Hizashi's right shoulder.

Orochimaru raised his chin, and Tsunade handed him a test tube containing a pale blue liquid.

Concentrated Bloodline Limit Material Fluid of Storm Release—

Orochimaru precisely pierced the main meridian of Hizashi's shoulder and slowly pushed the material liquid in.

The moment it entered his body, Hizashi's body trembled violently, and his previously steady breathing became rapid.

Veins bulged on the exposed skin instantly!

"The rejection reaction has started—the chakra has gone berserk!" Hiruko's voice was devoid of emotion.

Kushina stepped forward, and the sealed black markings locked onto Hizashi's shoulder, forcibly trapping the raging bloodline power within and forcing it to adapt to Hizashi's body in a specific area.

Orochimaru gestured to Tsunade.

A container filled with a dark green liquid was brought over; the liquid shimmered with a faint, luminous glow.

This is concentrated bodily fluid from the village of immortals.

Orochimaru held the syringe and looked at Tsunade. Tsunade glanced at the indicators on the instrument and nodded.

Tsunade stood on the other side of the operating table, her palm glowing with the light of medical chakra.

The needle was inserted into the vein of the patient, and a pale green liquid was slowly pushed in.

At first, things were relatively stable, but as the fluid flowed through his body along with his blood, Hisashi's body instantly became abnormally flushed, and the blood vessels under his skin bulged out as if they were about to burst!

Tsunade acted instantly, pressing her palm heavily against Hizashi's chest.

The medical chakra, like a fine net, instantly enveloped all of Hizashi's organs and meridians.

Tsunade activated the Minor Ailment Extraction Technique, not forcibly suppressing the strange "Sage Power," but rather guiding and diverting it little by little along its flow.

The crimson color could no longer disturb her.

Tsunade slowed her breathing, focusing intently on controlling every abnormality within Hizashi's body.

Time passes little by little.

Kushina, Hiruko, and Orochimaru were doing their jobs in an orderly manner.

With unparalleled focus, no one had any extraneous emotions; they simply operated as efficiently as machines.

Kakuzu silently stepped forward, and several black Earth Grudge Tentacles shot out from his sleeves and entered Hizashi's body.

With his profound experience, he straightened out the disordered meridians and stitched up the broken blood vessels, nerves, and superficial skin layer by layer.

In the hazy subconscious of the changing days, a robust figure slowly emerged.

That was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Like the sun, she radiated a warm light, her gaze firm yet gentle, silently cheering him on.

"Hokage-sama—"

Richa murmured to himself subconsciously.

A surge of power welled up from the depths of his heart, and his physical indicators strangely and rapidly stabilized at that moment, attracting Orochimaru's attention.

Hiruko and the others were all startled—

What happened?!

A full ten hours have passed—

Finally, Hiyori's vital signs stabilized, and both the instruments and his senses told Orochimaru and the others—

The surgery was a success!

His breathing became steady and long, and the two forces slowly merged into one with him!

Konoha's "Emerald Gundam" makes its debut!

Orochimaru and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Hizashi were to die, Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably not hold a grudge against them.

But the thought of seeing the Hokage's disappointed expression made everyone feel uneasy; they really didn't want to see Hiruzen Sarutobi show such an expression.

"Let's wait a bit, until Hizashi wakes up—" Orochimaru stood in the corner of the operating room and glanced at the instruments.

This time, the experimental data was collected quite comprehensively.

That's enough for him to study diligently for quite some time!

"He really is lucky. I didn't think he would fail, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly all of a sudden," Hiruko pondered. "You guys noticed too, didn't you? The rampaging power suddenly calmed down, as if it had been smoothed out by an invisible hand."

"What is the mechanism behind this?"

What Hiruko was referring to was Hizashi's reaction when he subconsciously saw Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It's hard to say. We'll need to analyze the data carefully later and ask about the daily variation then—" Orochimaru pondered. This situation was indeed strange.

Tsunade was also thinking.

Kushina blinked: "Perhaps the Hokage is bestowing a blessing upon Hizashi-nii!"

Normally, this is just a way to ease the tension.

Orochimaru glanced at Kushina and said quite seriously, "You know what—it's actually quite possible! Given Hizashi's personality, if he subconsciously thinks of his teacher, his will could potentially affect his body."

Chakra is a mixture of mental and physical power.

In the ninja world, even a single spiritual force, if powerful enough, can influence matter.

"I read in the records that when the Second Hokage used the Impure Reincarnation Technique to control his enemies, some determined ninjas were able to break free on their own—"

"It can even—" Orochimaru swallowed the rest of his sentence.

He wanted to say that even after breaking free from the Impure World Reincarnation, the enemy could still insult Tobirama's entire family, spewing insults as he ascended to heaven.

Tsunade shook her head speechlessly.

She could roughly guess what he meant, but even as his granddaughter, there were some things she couldn't say—

Her second grandfather's reputation and standing outside the village was notoriously complicated.

In some ways, he is more deserving of the title "Darkness of the Ninja" than Danzo.

"Ptooey, ptooey," Tsunade spat twice, banishing the strange thoughts from her mind.

How could you think of your second grandfather like that?

That's incredibly disrespectful!

"It's all in the past, don't mention it again! Second Grandfather must be doing very well in the Pure Land now," Tsunade glared at Orochimaru and said fiercely.

Orochimaru shrugged and smiled without saying a word.

Will the Second Hokage, who repeatedly summoned the dead from the Pure Land, be doing well there?

Believe it or not, they might actually act arrogantly and domineeringly!

Orochimaru believed that his idol, the Second Hokage, would surely have a backup plan against the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and that even if someone tried to resurrect him, they would not succeed.

It's fair to say that everyone has a certain amount of romanticized view of their idols.

If Orochimaru knew that Tobirama hadn't blocked the back door of the Edo Tensei, he would probably be disappointed.

"It seems our medical exam results were very accurate—we're qualified for daily work!"

Hiruko wiped the sweat from his brow, nudged Orochimaru lightly with his shoulder, and said with a smile in his eyes, "It seems to have been a success—my Demon Sprout Technique is complete!"

For a research ninja, the happiest thing at work is naturally when the ninjutsu they researched is successfully implemented!

"Ah, congratulations, Hiruko!" Orochimaru laughed as well, naturally hoping that Hiruko would get better and better.

This person is not only his good friend, but also his future support when he becomes Hokage.

"We need to keep working hard—I've seen your concept for the Oni-Garra Technique; it can fuse more than one bloodline limit."

Orochimaru said seriously.

"Not just one, two, three," Hiruko said, shaking his head. "According to my plan, if we gather five bloodline limits composed of different chakra, combine them with the principles of the five elements, and integrate them with the special energies of celestial phenomena and earth veins, our physique can achieve an extremely powerful leap!"

"He's practically immortal, a 'perfect ninja' indeed!"

This is the outline of the Ghost Sprout Technique.

First, one must possess at least five chakra bloodline limits, and these limits must be cleverly combined to form a relationship of mutual generation among the five elements. Therefore, five is only the minimum requirement.

Next, it is about bringing together the three elements of "heaven, earth, and man".

"Human" refers to a sufficient bloodline limit.

The term "land" refers to a special landform, a mountain range with special energy, such as "Mount Sumeru".

"Tian" refers to high-energy celestial phenomena, such as the "ring of fire solar eclipse".

The combination of these three elements constitutes the ultimate form of the Oni-Garaku Technique.

Using intense external energy to trigger multiple bloodline limits to undergo qualitative changes, causing a leap in the body's transformation!

Hiruko's idea cannot be said to be unfeasible. Whether it is an organic or chakra-based bloodline limit, it will have a subtle enhancement on the ninja's physique, but it is not obvious.

When multiple bloodline limits are established, the enhanced quantity is accumulated to a certain level using the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, and then stimulated by a special environment and energy to transform this quantitative change into a qualitative one.

Orochimaru gave a noncommittal smile.

Although he and Hiruko both pursued scientific research, their styles were different.

Orochimaru once considered stuffing all the good stuff into his own body.

However, after witnessing Hiruzen Sarutobi's continuous progress, this idea was shelved.

Being original has its advantages; the match between body and soul is inherently perfect.

Orochimaru doesn't object to using the strengths of others to enhance his own abilities, but a haphazard fusion like the ultimate version of Oni-Gera seems too crude to him.

This is a body, not a random stew!

There are also the three elements of "Heaven, Earth, and Man," which sound quite mysterious—

It sounds more like charlatanry than rigorous scientific research.

Although Orochimaru could understand Hiruko's meaning, the essence was to use external energy to temper the body.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Putting aside how to utilize the terrain, just the celestial phenomena you mentioned alone will take who knows how long, at least ten years or so, right?"

"The most urgent task is to stabilize the way to fuse the first bloodline limit; you can't get fat in one bite."

Rui Orochimaru commented.

And there are more than five bloodline limits—

Do you really think bloodline inheritance is as common as cabbage?

"I know—" Hiruko nodded, "Everyone has to have dreams! Hizashi's experiment inspired me. If it's possible to fuse Storm Release and Cursed Seal at the same time, then fusing two bloodline limits must be feasible!"

"However, after the third type, the structure changes, and the difficulty increases exponentially—"

Hiru sighed, "Two kinds should be enough. There are already very few ninjas with two bloodline limits in the entire ninja world, and I've never even heard of a triple bloodline limit—"

Orochimaru's expression suddenly froze.

I haven't heard of it now, but who knows what will happen in the future—

"Hiruko, why do I feel like the complete version of this technique was prepared specifically for you, Master?" Orochimaru muttered to himself. "The biggest difficulty with this technique lies in gathering multiple bloodline limits and fusing them into oneself. The difficulty increases exponentially with each additional bloodline limit—"

"But the teacher doesn't need to absorb other people's bloodlines; he can synthesize them himself!"

Beiliuhu's pupils dilated in shock.

Yes!

The Hokage trained himself; there was no such thing as a rejection reaction.

Kakuzu's expression slowly turned to confusion.

He already thought that as the embodiment of Earth Grudge Fear, he was already considered a monster in the ninja world, misunderstood by others.

It can steal other people's hearts to gain their chakra attributes!

What a terrifying ability!

But in Konoha, his Earth Grudge Fear didn't seem so strange—

Here, even bloodline limits can be stolen, and there are even those that can be synthesized later! Just in terms of the body alone, Orochimaru's strange soft structure is not much more normal than the black lines of Earth Grudge Fear. A strange sense of belonging increased in Kakuzu's heart.

"you're right--"

"With the Hokage's talent, he will surely be able to synthesize a wide variety of bloodline limits—so what I should do is first perfect the transplantation of single and dual bloodline limits, and then pursue my perfect technique!"

Hiruko's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Actually, I don't have much confidence in transplanting the five bloodline limits. Multiple rejection reactions are uncontrollable. Even if I barely succeed, I'll probably no longer have a human form by then; I'll just be maintaining my form from collapsing!"

Hiruko's thoughts gradually became clear.

To enhance Konoha's overall combat strength, developing the Oni-Garaku technique, which allows for the relatively easy transplantation of one or two bloodline limits, is what he currently needs to do.

After that, he was going to create the ultimate Oni-Garuru, a feat that no one else could achieve and only the Hokage could use!

"This is a revelation from the Sage of Six Paths—"

"The Hokage dug me out from my humble beginnings, and the culmination of my life's work was destined to be made for the Hokage—" Hiruko said with deep emotion.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Hiruko.

No wonder Orochimaru called him a charlatan on the surface.

They even came up with the concept of "Heaven, Earth, and Man" when they created a ninjutsu, and now they're dragging the Sage of Six Paths into it!

I'm almost obsessed with the teacher's Will of Fire!

"You can think about your grand plans later—" Tsunade patted Hiruko on the shoulder: "How's Asuma's teaching going?"

Speaking of this, Hiru sighed: "I lack practical experience, so there's not much I can teach Asuma. As his teacher, I can only help him improve his aptitude and find a path that suits him—"

"Asuma inherited part of the Hokage's physique. He is strong in strength, speed and close combat awareness. However, he is only so-so in the use of the Fire Release techniques that the Sarutobi clan is good at."

"He should become a ninja who primarily uses close-combat fighting, but not like Sakumo or Minato. Instead, he should be a ninja who relies on strength and defense, similar to the Third Raikage—"

Kushina asked curiously, "Then, Mr. Hiruko, are you going to help Asuma learn the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"

"That technique requires too much talent, and only the Hokage could train it halfway through—" Hiruko said slowly, "I will do everything I can to ensure Asuma successfully transplants Swift Release and Steel Release!"

"These are the most suitable bloodline limits for the Second Hokage from his resource library. With these two techniques, Asuma's self-defense capabilities will be no problem, and he can also make the best use of his close combat talents—"

In Hiruko's conception.

Asuma's fighting style is roughly that after activating Steel Release and Swift Release, he charges through the enemy ranks like a whirlwind, wielding chakra tools!

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

That sounds pretty good.

He's capable of doing many things for Konoha and the Land of Fire, and he won't tarnish the title of Hokage's son!

"Mr. Kakuzu, would you be interested in teaching Asuma with me?"

Hiruko coughed lightly and said earnestly, "Asuma needs your extensive experience to mentor him!"

Jiao was quite surprised, then nodded repeatedly with delight, "That's wonderful!"

Konoha truly is his promised land!

Upon arriving in the village, he first had a very pleasant chat with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Not only did he get to know Minato Namikaze and Hiruko, who was collaborating on the Earth Grudge Fear project, but he also shared the opportunity to mentor the Hokage's son, allowing him to participate in this entirely prestigious training program.

This is going so smoothly!

Kakuzu felt that everything was going incredibly smoothly for him!

Hiruko smiled and nodded, a weight lifted from his heart.

He was terrified that he had let Hiruzen Sarutobi down, that he hadn't provided Asuma with better educational resources, and that Asuma's future strength might be insufficient, thus tarnishing the Hokage's reputation.

Therefore, it is absolutely a good thing to actively share the glory of teaching the son of Hokage with others.

This not only demonstrates ambition but also allows one to get to know Kakuzu, a close associate of the Hokage. "By the way, have you guys heard about Uchiha Aokiji lately?"

Orochimaru said quietly, "That new disciple of Danzo, the genius of the Uchiha clan, has been frequently entering and leaving the research department lately, borrowing all sorts of equipment and materials, all with the help of his assistant's warrant."

"They're acting like they're really good at scientific research!"

Hiruko chuckled: "I know that. Danzo even went to the Uchiha clan's territory for a big drinking session in order to take on Aokiji as his disciple, and he was seen arm in arm with Fugaku—"

"The Jonin under my command told me that he saw it that day and thought it was a genjutsu!"

Kakuzu nodded in deep agreement.

He and Yatsushiro also thought they were under a spell that day—

"What kind of scientific research could Uchiha clan ninjas do? Don't be ridiculous," Hiruko waved her hand dismissively. "They're good at fighting, that's true, but they don't have the brains for it!"

Orochimaru chimed in, "I think so too—"

Orochimaru also had a secret idea about this matter.

If that Uchiha named Qingshui really liked scientific research, then he was probably just bad at it and loved to play around.

Once Qing Shui witnesses his level of scientific research, he will surely be amazed!

Therefore, with just a little guidance, Danzo's disciple would be convinced of his own true talent and skill!

Orochimaru smiled slightly at the thought of this scene.

"Danzo, you still want to plant people in the research department? You're too clumsy to fight me!"

"In Konoha, no one knows more about scientific research than me!"

What Orochimaru didn't know was that "Seisui" was an Uchiha.

But it once had a name: Tobirama Senju.

That is, the person he most admired in the field of scientific research, Tsunade shook her head: "You guys, don't always think about xenophobia—it's good to have an Uchiha. Wasn't it said that Grandfather's cells could be suppressed by the power of the Uchiha clan?"

"Let's get that guy named Qingshui to help. Even if he doesn't understand scientific research or my grandfather's cells, those Sharingan eyes will still come in handy—"

"Our teacher said that he hoped one day all Konoha ninjas would have the blessing of their grandfather's cells—"

"Although not requiring us to inherit Wood Release and too much life force has already lightened our burden, we still haven't made any real progress on this issue."

Hiruko and Orochimaru exchanged a glance, agreeing with Tsunade's statement.

They both read the same thought in each other's eyes.

That is to conspire to kidnap "Qingshui", use their two amazing scientific research talents to impress him, and make the Uchiha clan use them to study Hashirama cells!

Let's give Danzo a good dressing down, since he's always causing trouble in the research department.

"I think I should take on a disciple too—" The conversation between Kakuzu and Hiruko reminded Orochimaru.

"How about we visit the Konoha orphanage sometime? I've heard some of the children there have great medical skills. Nonou has really nurtured a bunch of promising talents—"

The breakthrough in the production of "Holy Land Pill" is due to an unexpected technological breakthrough resulting from years of investment, and also to Nono's active teaching of industry ninjas.

Her medical ninjutsu skills weren't particularly high, but she was very good at guiding others from beginner to expert.

It can only be said that every member or candidate of the Konoha committee is not someone to be underestimated.

A few hours later, although Richa was still asleep, his physical indicators had completely stabilized.

"You all go, I'll stay here with him and wait for him to wake up—"

Hiruko waved his hand, and after everyone left, he stared at Hizashi's face and smiled.

"You bastard, you're really lucky—"

"If you can master the power of the cursed seal, and with the cursed seal-transformed body structure that the Hokage and I designed for you, you'll be incredible in battle!"

Hiruko moved a stool over and sat down next to Hizashi, muttering to himself.

Storm Release is a technique that combines Lightning Release and Water Release, characterized by its tracking and speed.

Hizashi, possessing the unique physique of the Hyuga clan and highly skilled at releasing chakra, further strengthens his body structure with the cursed seal specially formulated by Hiruko and Orochimaru, allowing him to compress Storm Release chakra to its limit—

This was a concept they had planned before even starting the surgery for diurnal variation.

The Hyuga clan primarily engages in close combat.

However, their ability to see through objects with their white eyes is actually better suited for ranged attacks.

With full-screen X-ray vision activated, as long as you have enough power and precision in your ninjutsu, your enemies will have nowhere to hide. Once Hizashi discovers them, they will be subjected to continuous attacks!

Storm Release -

Especially after activating the Cursed Seal, the Storm Release compressed using Hyuga's precise chakra control—

It will be like an unstoppable lightning arrow, mercilessly piercing through any enemy hiding anywhere!

A scene even flashed through Hiruko's mind.

Suppose someone in the village is spreading rumors that are detrimental to the Hokage—

Hizashi, who could discern the mouth shape using his Byakugan, no longer needed to hide on the roof beam and laugh; he could simply unleash a Storm Release attack directly in front of that person from a great distance—

Richa was fast asleep.

Hiruko yawned. The long surgery had taken a toll on his energy, and he gradually fell asleep leaning back in his chair.

Anyway, if there's an accident, the alarm on the device will wake him up.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Hijiri slowly opened his eyes and saw Hiruko leaning back in his chair, fast asleep.

Feel the power surging within my body.

Hijiri stared at Hiruko, shook his head, and muttered, "You idiot—"

#

A few days later.

The students from Kirigakure said goodbye to their good friends from the Ninja Academy.

Happy times are always fleeting.

Before parting ways, they had one last meal in Konoha, bought some souvenirs, and embarked on their journey home with mixed feelings.

"I must report the information about Konoha to the Mizukage-sama truthfully—" Kisame thought to himself.

Mei Terumi probably had a similar idea.

They weren't stupid; they knew that Master Yuan had long coveted Konoha, and that the cooperation agreement with Kirigakure had little credibility and was essentially worthless paper that could be torn up at any time.

"We cannot allow the Mizukage to misjudge Konoha's strength—"

Mei Terumi sighed, "The thought of having to face Konoha ninjas like these on the battlefield one day is incredibly stressful—"

Kisame nodded silently.

But Nakamaro and Yuki were hoping that the Third Mizukage would continue to act crazy, so that their clansmen would know that Kirigakure was a village they could never stay in.

We arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

Four Hidden Mist ninjas, each with their own concerns, plotted how to report to the Mizukage and their master.

And at this moment.

A ninja dressed in the uniform of the Hidden Mist Anbu appeared silently before them.

"As ordered by the Mizukage, you must maintain a unified tone and, upon returning to the village, focus on publicizing Konoha's weakness and vulnerability, and emphasize their laxity in fulfilling their duties as ninjas—"

This was not the real Hidden Mist Village, but a White Zetsu controlled by Madara Uchiha.

"Don't say anything that's detrimental to the Blood Mist Village or the future of Kirigakure!"

"The village is currently going through a painful period of growth on its path to greatness. You must keep pace with the Mizukage and not let the bad habits of Konoha seep into Kirigakure."

Madara Uchiha's tone was icy.

He couldn't let Konoha's false prosperity frighten Kirigakure—

Otherwise, how can we prove that the chains of hatred cannot be broken?

We need to add fuel to the fire!
