The Hand of God Creates the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

Chapter 188 White Zetsu Medical Products

The next morning, Makoto Karatachi left Mei Terumi's house with a satisfied smile on his face.

Morning light spilled onto the streets of Kirigakure, and in the distance, one could already see ninjas training early in the morning. The air was filled with the faint scent of the sea, mixed with the aroma of breakfast shops, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

"Lord Cheng!"

Good morning, Master Cheng!

"Lord Cheng looks great today!"

The passing ninjas greeted him one by one, and Makoto Karatachi responded with a smile.

He does look quite well today.

Last night's conversation took their relationship a step further.

This progress is not only physical, but also spiritual.

Mei Terumi's worries, anxieties, and even fears were all soothed by his intimate contact last night.

He knew that the road ahead was long and many challenges awaited him.

But at least now, I have a warm harbor behind me.

"Lord Cheng!"

A voice came from behind.

Makoto turned around and saw a young woman in a medical ninja uniform walking quickly towards him.

She had short, light blue hair and delicate features.

"Who are you?"

"I am Minazuki Ao, and I am the deputy to Minister Hyou."

Gouju Cheng glanced at the young woman in front of him.

Minazuki Ao looks to be in her early twenties, with delicate features and neat, short, light blue hair. She wears the white coat that is a hallmark of medical ninjas, with the medical department's badge pinned to her chest. Her temperament is gentle yet capable.

"Minister Bing requests that you visit the Medical Department as soon as possible. There has been a major breakthrough in the research and development of the Pure White Medical Project."

"oh?!"

Gouju Cheng looked surprised.

He's only been gone a few days, and Mizuki Hyo has already made a major breakthrough in his research on White Zetsu?

Makoto followed Ao through several streets and alleys of Kirigakure and arrived at the medical department building.

Located on the east side of the village, not far from the ninja hospital, this building is specifically used for medical research. Most of the people coming and going are medical ninjas or researchers, making the atmosphere much quieter than other parts of the village, with a faint herbal scent permeating the air year-round.

Mizuki Ao led the way with light steps, while Karatachi Makoto followed at a leisurely pace, his gaze sweeping over the nameplates on both sides of the corridor.

Laboratory preparation room, pharmaceutical preparation room, cell culture room, clinical observation room —

Each room was clearly marked, and through the glass windows on the doors, you could see researchers in white coats busily working inside.

"arrive."

Minazuki Ao stopped in front of a heavy metal door and pressed a sensor on the side of the door.

With a beep, the door slowly opened.

The room was brightly lit, and the smell of disinfectant was even stronger than in the corridor. Several researchers were busy at their workstations. When they saw Makoto Koji enter, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed slightly in greeting.

Gouju Cheng waved his hand, his gaze passing over them and landing on a figure at the deepest part of the room.

Mizuki Hyou stood before the enormous culture tank, holding a data recording board and intently checking the data. Today, she wore a well-tailored white lab coat, her beautiful long hair casually pulled back with a hairpin, a few strands falling loose.

The earpiece softened the otherwise aloof face.

"Minister Bing."

Gouju Cheng walked over.

Mizuki Hyou raised her head and nodded slightly when she saw Makoto Karatachi.

"Lord Cheng, you've arrived."

"I heard there's been a major breakthrough?"

Gouju Cheng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Mizuki Hyou didn't answer immediately, but handed him the record board in her hand, and then turned around and pointed to the culture tank behind her.

Gouju Cheng followed her gaze.

The culture tank was small, about the height of a person, and its transparent glass walls were filled with a pale green culture medium. In the center of the culture medium, an irregularly shaped sphere, about the size of a fist, was suspended.

The object's surface had a warm, milky white color, and it shimmered faintly in the culture medium, making it look like a piece of jade with a special texture, or perhaps some kind of biological tissue.

It is white blood cell tissue!

"Based on our cultivation of leukemia cells, we have now developed three special agents."

"The first one, also called number one, is for cell repair."

Mizuki Hyou walked to another workbench, took out a sealed test tube from the refrigerator, and showed it to Makoto Kaguchi.

The test tube contained a bright green liquid that shimmered faintly under the light.

"Although Pure White No. 1 is far inferior to the White Zetsu cells themselves in terms of healing power, after being specially cultivated by us, it can significantly accelerate cell division and regeneration when injected into the body."

"While this level of regeneration largely depends on the injured person's own physical condition, the techniques of medical ninjas or healing ninjas are actually the same."

Mizuki Hyou said excitedly, "In other words, just one injection of Pure White No. 1 is equivalent to the direct treatment of a medical ninja! Most importantly, we can already mass-produce Pure White No. 1!"

"very good!"

Gouju nodded in satisfaction.

Healing properties are undoubtedly the most core and direct value of White Zetsu.

Using this ability to commercialize into general medical products is the simplest, but also the most important thing. The fact that Mizuki Hyo was able to develop the first product in such a short time has already exceeded Makoto Kaguchi's expectations.

Most importantly, this medicine is already ready for mass production!

Mass production means that it can be sold on a large scale, which means that it can benefit the people of Kirigakure and even the entire ninja world, and it also means that it can be profitable!

"What about the second one?"

Gouju asked sincerely.

"The second one, we'll call it Potion Number Two for now."

Mizuki Hyou turned and walked to the refrigerator on the other side, taking out a sealed test tube from it.

This time, the liquid in the test tube was no longer emerald green, but a deep azure blue, gleaming with a cold luster under the light, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

"The effect of Pure White Serum No. 2 is to enhance chakra."

Gouju Cheng took the test tube and examined it closely.

The azure liquid flowed slowly inside the glass tube, and he could clearly feel the chakra fluctuations contained within it. Those fluctuations were completely different from the chakra of ordinary ninjas; they were more primal, more pure, and carried a vibrant aura.

"Just like the healing properties of Leukemia cells, we extracted them based on their strong activity and then combined them with some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as military ration pills to create a product."

"It can resonate with the human chakra system, enabling people to better control and perceive their own chakra!"

Makoto Koji raised an eyebrow, looking at Mizuki Hiro with some surprise.

Controlling one's own chakra is a required course for every ninja, and this thing is indeed very effective, but what Makoto Karatachi values ​​most is another function.

To better perceive one's own chakra!

As everyone knows, the first thing to do to become a ninja is to refine and control the chakra within your body, train, and then learn ninjutsu to become a ninja.

Unfortunately, although it is said that chakra is a secret treasure of the human body and that everyone has chakra in their body, the ratio of ordinary people to ninjas in this world is still terrifying. Among hundreds or thousands of people, there are often only one or two ninjas.

The root cause of this is that they are dull-witted and cannot sense the chakra within their own bodies.

Come on, everyone, close your eyes and meditate. Feel the mixture of physical and mental energy produced by the 130 trillion cells in your body; that is chakra.

"What are you doing? This is a classroom, not your tatami room!"

Indeed, many people of average talent cannot sense chakra at all when they come into contact with it; this is what is meant by "blindly meditating."

Thinking about it turned into taking a long nap.

If this thing really does have the effect of increasing one's perception of one's own chakra, then the number of Kirigakure ninjas will experience an explosive growth in the future!

Gouju Cheng held the deep blue test tube, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.

Mizuki Hyou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and a rare smile appeared on her usually cold face.

"Lord Cheng guessed correctly. The core value of Pure White No. 2 potion lies not in enhancing chakra control, but in allowing those who cannot sense chakra to see their own chakra for the first time."

"We've done experiments."

She turned and walked to the other side of the control panel, picked up an experimental record: "We recruited thirty volunteers, all ordinary people."

"After the injection of Pure White No. 2, 27 people successfully sensed the chakra within their bodies. Among them, nine people successfully extracted the chakra during subsequent training."

"Success rate is nearly 30%!"

Gouju Cheng took a deep breath.

Thirty percent!

This number may not seem high, but it's important to understand that these are people who "cannot sense chakra." By conventional standards, they would never be able to become ninjas in their lifetime.

Now, Pure White Potion No. 2 has given them a second chance.

"If this potion were distributed throughout the entire Land of Water—"

Gouju Cheng muttered to himself, a grand plan already forming in his mind.

Why has Kirigakure consistently ranked last among the Five Great Ninja Villages?

It's not because the bloodline limit isn't strong enough.

It's not because my ninjutsu isn't good enough.

It's not because the population base is too small!

The Land of Water has the smallest population among the Five Great Nations, and the number of ninja in Kirigakure has consistently ranked near the bottom. Even with a plethora of geniuses, they can't compete with the sheer number of ninjas that others possess.

But if Pure White Serum No. 2 could be widely distributed, allowing ordinary people who wouldn't normally be able to become ninjas to awaken their chakra—

The glory of Kirigakure, the golden age of Kirigakure, may really be coming!

"Who else knows about this?" Makoto Gojiki raised his head, his gaze sharp.

Mizuki Hyou shook her head: "It's just me and a few core researchers involved in the experiment. As you requested, it must be kept strictly confidential."

"Very good." Makoto Goji nods. "The information regarding Potion No. 2 is classified as top secret. No one may access it without my written authorization. Including—"

He paused.

"Including water shadows."

Mizuki Hyou was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.

She's a smart woman; she doesn't need Goji Makoto to explain much.

Some things are better known to as few people as possible. Even for Yagura, it wasn't appropriate to know too much before the time was right.

"I see."

"Continue." Makoto Kuraki handed the test tube back to Hyou Minazuki. "What about the third one?"

"The third type is prosthetics, but it's not mature enough yet."

Mizuki Hyou put down the test tube in her hand and turned to walk towards a cubicle at the deepest part of the laboratory.

Gouju Cheng followed behind, passing through a sealed door and entering a more spacious, independent space.

Several transparent incubators were placed here, each containing white objects of different shapes suspended inside. Some resembled arms, some legs, and others more complex organ structures, slowly floating in the pale green culture medium, their surfaces gleaming with a warm luster.

"This is... a prosthetic limb?"

Gouju Cheng walked to the nearest incubator and observed it carefully.

The prosthetic arm inside the incubator is about the length of an adult's arm and its shape is very similar to a real arm, except that its color is milky white, making it look like it's wearing makeup, well, maybe not even as white as the color painted on a lady's face.

"To be precise, it is a bio-prosthetic limb based on White Egg cells."

Mizuki Hyou stood beside him and spoke in a deep voice.

"The first drug is a cell repair fluid, the second drug is a chakra awakening agent. As for Project Three, we are trying to utilize the high plasticity of White Zetsu cells to directly cultivate biological tissues that can replace missing parts of the human body."

"Based on the characteristics of the white blood cells provided by you, Mr. Cheng, we have discovered that these cells can differentiate in a directed manner according to a preset 'template' under specific culture conditions."

"In other words, we can theoretically cultivate human tissues of any shape and size."

"Theoretically?"

Gouju Cheng keenly captured the key words.

"Yes, theoretically."

Mizuki Hyou did not deny it, but a hint of helplessness appeared on her cool face.

"We have achieved some success in animal experiments."

She pointed to a smaller incubator in the corner, inside which was a white mouse.

"This mouse's left foreleg was originally amputated. We bred a corresponding biological prosthesis for transplantation, and the recovery was good. The prosthesis recovered about 70% of the function of a normal limb."

Goujucheng took a closer look.

The mouse was indeed moving around with its "new legs," although its movements were slightly slower than with its normal legs, but its basic grasping and support functions had been restored.

"Seventy percent, that's not bad."

Gouju nodded: "What about human trials?"

"It hasn't started yet."

Mizuki Hyou shook her head: "Currently, there are still two problems with the prosthetics we are developing. First, the connection with the human nervous system is not perfect. The prosthetics can execute simple muscle movement commands, but they cannot perform fine motor skills or provide sensory feedback."

"Secondly, some test subjects experienced mild rejection reactions. Although leukocytes themselves have extremely strong adaptability, whether long-term implantation in the human body will produce other side effects requires further observation over a longer period."

Gouju Cheng remained silent for a moment.

These problems were all expected.

Leukocytes are foreign substances after all, and it is not something that can be accomplished overnight to perfectly replace human tissues.

Even though these cells have been adjusted, optimized, and their strength reduced countless times, they are still leukemia cells after all.

If it is used on the human body indiscriminately under unstable conditions —

—If something happens, it will be like adding a big tree to the village!

"Continue with the research, no rush."

Gouju Cheng patted the glass wall of the incubator: "The direction of prosthetics is very valuable, but it's currently a lower priority than the first and second. We need to perfect the first two drugs, mass-produce them, and bring them to market to make money before we can support subsequent research."

"clear."

"By the way, is the research funding sufficient? If not, let me know—"
