Chapter 100 The Revelation of the Eight-Tailed Fox, Snake Aunt's Temptation! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

After leaving the cemetery, Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka came to Konoha Hospital together.

After a morning of saving lives, Hoshino Shuichi had completely shaken off the effects of Akimichi Shigeiwa's death.

After lunch, Hoshino Shuichi brought the medical scroll to Orochimaru's experimental base.

However, Orochimaru was not here, which did not surprise Hoshino Shuichi.

Orochimaru also has to carry out missions.

After reviewing the experimental data from when he was away, Hoshinoichi opened the scroll he had brought, broke the seal, and took out the three pieces of four-tailed beast meat, each at least the size of a human head, that Sarutobi Shinnosuke had collected for him. He then found a glass jar, prepared a potion, and stored it away.

The next step is to use instruments to observe the cells of the four tails.

"That's amazing!"

"It's been so long since it left the body, yet its activity level is still so high."

Hoshita Shuichi was secretly surprised.

Next, he conducted DNA observation and analysis on the four tails and then compared them with the DNA of apes.

"Most closely related to gibbons..."

Hoshixia Shuichi recorded silently, and then continued one observation or small experiment.

These are actually all imitations of Orochimaru's research on the Eight-Tails' cells.

Time passed little by little, and before we knew it, it was evening.

Orochimaru appeared at the experimental base and, after seeing the Four-Tails' flesh in the glass jar, laughed, "Although I already knew about this, I still can't help but marvel at Shuichi-kun's excellence after seeing the spoils."

Without turning his head, Hoshino said, "Lord Orochimaru, instead of marveling, you should hurry up and get to work on your experiments."

"While the Tailed Beasts share some similarities, they also have significant differences; at the very least, the power they display varies greatly."

"Doesn't Lord Orochimaru want to research Lava Release?"

Orochimaru smiled broadly: "Of course!"

"Sunagakure obtained the Magnet Release technique by studying the One-Tailed Beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru quickly made preparations and then got busy with Hoshino-shita Shuichi.

Orochimaru had experience studying the Eight-Tails, so he was adept at dealing with the Four-Tails, and Hoshino Shuichi quickly became his assistant.

However, he enjoyed it.

Now Orochimaru is his experience bag.

Before he knew it, it was 9 p.m., and Hoshino Shuichi left the experimental base to go home.

The next day, aside from the most basic physical training and martial arts practice that shadow clones could not replace, he spent most of his time at the experimental base.

He used Shadow Clone Jutsu or Crow Clone Jutsu to train in ninjutsu, and even when he went to Kushina Uzumaki to learn sealing techniques.

The days in the laboratory are boring.

But every time something is discovered, it makes people excited and exciting.

Hoshino Shuichi gradually grew to like this feeling, to the point that he even forgot about the competitive eating contest.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and November is coming to an end.

Inside the experimental base, Hoshino Hideichi, who was conducting cell culture, suddenly paused.

The term tree is active!

Hoshixia Xiuichi took a look and found that the conditions for the entry [Stand-in Expert] to light up had been met unknowingly.

This term is closely related to "cloning expert".

Aside from the most basic substitution technique, the others are basically related to the clone technique.

For example, earth substitutes, water substitutes... mastering various clone techniques, then the substitute technique can be used to quickly defeat the enemy.

On the contrary, Konoha has experts in the "Instantaneous Movement" technique, but not in the "Lightning Instantaneous Movement" or "Earth Instantaneous Movement" techniques.

Therefore, Shuichi Hoshino devoted more energy to it.

However, looking at the term "Stand Expert" at this moment, Hoshino Shuichi thought of the Eight-Tails.

He remembered that when Killer Bee was hit by Amaterasu during his battle with Sasuke Uchiha, he used one of his tentacles to create a clone, which replaced his original body and allowed Sasuke to capture him.

At that time, Sasuke Uchiha had the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he didn't see through it.

"This could actually be a great area for research."

Thinking of the entry "Substitute Expert" that shows off under the stars.

Stand talent increased by 100%, can cast any Stand jutsu without the signature.

"what?"

Shuichi Hoshita, who had just lit up [Stand-in Expert], found that there were two more unlit entry leaves on the entry tree.

Hoshino Hideichi immediately checked.

Entry: [The Substitute Master]

Acquisition Requirements: Create a Substitution Jutsu similar to the Eight-Tails by studying the Eight-Tails.

Effect: Stand talent increased by 100%, and strengthening a specific body part can increase it by 100%. There is nothing in the world that cannot be used as a Stand. As a Stand Master, others' Stand tricks are nothing in front of you, and you can see through them at a glance.

Hoshino Shuichi was startled when he saw the information on the leaf in the entry.

Designating a certain body part for strengthening can increase it by 100%, hiss! This one is a bit overwhelming!

It's a pity that I can only choose one part.

Look at the second entry.

Entry: [Clone Master]

Acquisition conditions: Create a clone technique similar to the Eight-Tails using its tentacles to transform into clones by studying the Eight-Tails.

Effect: Increases mental power by 100%, and can be used to create clones of anything. As a master of clones, you can also see through any clone technique.

Hoshino Shuichi was quite surprised: "It's all because of the Eight-Tails, it's really baffling."

He had previously thought that developing the Raven Clone would trigger the "Clone Master" trait, but it didn't.

"Using a part of the body to create a clone, for use as a substitute..."

Hoshita Xiu thought deeply until he was awakened by the appearance of Orochimaru.

"Are you having trouble?"

Orochimaru asked with concern.

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "No, it's just that an interesting idea suddenly came to mind."

Orochimaru remarked with great emotion, "What an energetic age!"

Hoshita Shuichi complimented, "Lord Orochimaru, your brain is still very young."

Orochimaru remained noncommittal, asking, "What are your thoughts on the Four-Tails cells?"

"For example, capturing some monkeys to conduct experiments?"

Hoshino Shuichi thought for a moment and asked, "I saw in the experimental records that when Lord Orochimaru was researching the Eight-Tails, he also conducted experiments on various animals with similar DNA, but without exception, none of them could withstand it."

Orochimaru nodded: "That's right, tailed beasts are far too powerful, just like..."

He paused and continued, "Even ninjas find it difficult to withstand the power and evil of the tailed beasts, so it is certainly even more difficult for ordinary animals."

"Unless you select the best of the best and continuously optimize and train them into summoning beasts, there might be some chance that they can fuse with the power of the tailed beasts."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to do that kind of experiment."

Orochimaru chuckled, "But there's still a chance. Shuichi-kun, are you really not going to give it a try?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head firmly: "Lord Orochimaru, since this direction is so hopeless, I think we should try another approach."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru immediately gave up trying to persuade him and said with great interest, "It seems that Shuichi-kun has gained something else?"

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "It's just an idea for now, but I have a request that I hope Lord Orochimaru will grant."

Orochimaru asked, "You want the Eight-Tails' cells?"

Hoshino Hideaki nodded: "Yes, in exchange, I will only keep a portion of the Four-Tails' flesh for experiments, and the rest can be given to Lord Orochimaru."

"I have already discussed this matter with the Third Hokage. This experiment will be led by Lord Orochimaru, so it is only natural that the Four-Tails' flesh be handled by you."

Orochimaru smiled meaningfully and said, "It seems that Shuichi-kun was prepared all along."

Hoshita Shuichi shrugged: "After all, it's the Eight-Tails. I've fought against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before."

"I agree to this deal."

Orochimaru readily agreed.

He does need the cells from Four Tails to be taken to other experimental bases to conduct some other experiments.

The deal was done just like that.

However, today was interrupted. Hoshita Shuichi simply ended the experimental research temporarily and left the experimental base.

Walking through Konoha's bustling night market, Hoshino Shuichi pondered Orochimaru's earlier suggestion: "Is this a step-by-step tactic to lead me into human experimentation?"

"First animal experiments, then human trials..."

Shuichi Hoshino wasn't against animal testing; he wasn't a saint.

Using mice, monkeys, and other animals for experiments is perfectly normal and does not violate human ethics.

But human experimentation, especially uninhibited human experimentation, is undoubtedly cruel.

"However, the path of animal testing is not promising, so we need to study melting away from another angle."

Hoshino Shuichi pondered to himself, "Perhaps I should raise a miniature Four-Tails to obtain Lava Release chakra and then conduct research on chakra."

"Or learn from the Golden Horn and Silver Horn."

The Golden Horn and Silver Horn of the Kumo ninja had eaten the flesh and blood of the Kyuubi, thereby obtaining the Kyuubi's chakra. The most important thing is that they could withstand it.

But I guess the bloodline of these two guys is not simple, you can tell just by looking at it.

It's not unreasonable that the Second Hokage was killed by them and their elite troops. After all, since the Second Hokage had no intention of escaping, anything could happen during a battle.

Thinking that Shuichi Hoshita had arrived at Konoha Hospital unknowingly, he immediately gathered his thoughts and walked in.

"Huh?"

Upon seeing Hoshino Shuichi, Shizune was first taken aback, then overjoyed: "Shuichi, you've come?"

Hoshino Shuichi greeted them with a smile: "I came to see you all."

"Why are you still at the hospital so late?"

Shizune chuckled, "Lady Tsunade is still at the hospital doing research with Nonou-senpai!"

Hoshino Hideichi suddenly realized, then pulled Shizune along and said with a smile, "Let's go take a look!"

Shizune nodded quickly, "Mhm!"

The two immediately strolled over to Tsunade's office, where they found Tsunade and Yakushi Nonou frowning and deep in thought as they looked at a scroll.

Hoshita Shuichi pushed open the door and went in.

Upon hearing the voice, Tsunade said impatiently, "I've already told you, don't bother me unless it's something really important!"

What a terrible temper!

Hoshino Shuichi secretly complained, completely forgetting how respectful he had been when he needed the other person's help.

"Shuichi!"

Yakushi Nonou smiled as soon as she saw Hoshita Hideaki.

Tsunade turned around upon hearing this, and said with a smirk, "Finally, I've managed to leave Orochimaru's lab."

Hoshita Shuichi didn't care about Tsunade's attitude and laughed, "Of course, Lady Tsunade is number one in my heart, Lord Orochimaru comes after her."

Although Tsunade's mood improved somewhat after hearing this, her face still showed no kindness. She scoffed, "Smooth talker."

Hoshino Shizuka pretended not to hear and stepped forward to look at the talismans and spells on the scroll: "Have you encountered some difficulties?"

Pharmacist Nonou nodded: "The technique needs to be precise down to every single cell, which is too difficult and puts too much mental pressure on you."

Hideichi Hoshino agreed wholeheartedly.

When he previously obtained the [Perception Expert] title, his mental will was enhanced, and this time he was able to refine chakra with precision down to the level of each individual cell.

Prior to this, his physical condition had improved several times, and his mental processing speed, nerve reaction speed, memory, and chakra control had all been greatly enhanced.

These are all more or less related to spirit and the refinement of chakra.

The technique developed now is even more two-way, with precise chakra extraction and control down to the individual cell level.

In addition, there is chakra allocation.

To put it simply, the technique Tsunade is developing now requires establishing a dual channel between the Yin Seal and every single cell in her body.

One is to refine chakra and put it into the Yin Seal, and the other is to let the chakra of the Yin Seal reach every cell. This is specially prepared for medical ninjutsu.

Since the goal is to achieve rapid and seamless healing of any serious injury to any part of the body, it is essential to establish a dedicated high-speed channel.

Hoshita Shuichi asked himself that he couldn't do it now.

Controlling and allocating chakra is far more difficult than simply refining it.
