Chapter 189 Flying Twin Tails! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

After lunch, after sending the pharmacist Nono and the others to Konoha Hospital, Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at Orochimaru's experimental base.

Anko was also there at that moment. Seeing Hoshinoichi appear, Orochimaru smiled and said to Anko, "Go train. I'll check on your progress next time!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Red Bean nodded respectfully, then greeted Hoshino Shuichi with a bow: "Shuichi-senpai!"

"Hello, Red Bean!"

Hoshino Hideichi greeted him with a smile.

After Anko left, Orochimaru said, "Shuichi-kun, you've done something shocking again!"

He was also a Root ninja, so naturally he had his own information channels.

Hoshino Shuichi was not surprised by this, and calmly said, "I just felt the time was right."

"So, what do you plan to do, senior?"

Orochimaru chuckled: "Danzo and I are just cooperating partners."

"As for the position of Hokage, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it doesn't interfere with my research."

"What I'm more curious about now is the power of Danzo's Sharingan."

Hoshino Shuichi thought for a moment, then said reservedly, "It's so-so."

"For Danzo, the Sharingan was just a consumable; he couldn't even last a minute."

Yesterday, Danzo's Izanagi didn't even last a minute, clearly showing that Orochimaru's skills are not as good as Mirai's.

Orochimaru nodded seriously and smiled, "It seems that further adjustments are needed."

Hoshino Shuichi said meaningfully, "The Sharingan is difficult for non-Uchiha clan members to use freely, even if they have the First Hokage's cells."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and asked, "Shuichi-kun, aren't you curious about the power contained within the Sharingan?"

"Don't you want that kind of power?"

Hoshino Shuichi calmly said, "The power of the Sharingan is indeed alluring, and if I were to study it, I might be able to find its essence and obtain this bloodline limit through fusion and nature change. However, it is not worth it to sacrifice the village's comrades to achieve this goal."

Orochimaru looked surprised: "To obtain it through fusion and nature transformation... that's truly astonishing confidence!"

"The Sharingan is something else entirely."

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it is extremely difficult to combine Yin Release and Yang Release, which are the two nature transformations that are dominant."

"After all, Yin Release and Yang Release are the most fundamental powers of chakra."

"Similarly, there's the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

"Theoretically speaking, as long as one grasps the essence of chakra, one can fuse any kind of bloodline limit."

Orochimaru said, "But the prerequisite is that we can obtain the secret of this bloodline limit."

"This is also the most difficult part, which is why bloodline limits are said to be unlearnable and can only be obtained through bloodline inheritance."

"Moreover, not everyone can have such an enviable talent as Shuichi-kun."

Even Hoshino Hideichi had to nod in agreement.

Without the term "academic genius," he wouldn't dare boast that he could learn the Sharingan through research.

Orochimaru then said, "Now that Danzo is dead, would Shuichi-kun be interested in seeing the research on the Sharingan?"

Hoshita Hideichi asked, "What does senpai want?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "How are your cells, Shuichi-kun?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head decisively: "I don't like being studied."

"That would be such a shame."

Orochimaru was quite disappointed, but he couldn't force the issue, so he compromised and said, "How about we exchange it for your and Tsunade's research results on the First Hokage's cells?"

Hoshino Hideichi readily agreed.

His and Tsunade's research on the First Hokage's cells focused on the changes in the Yang Release nature of cell activation, rather than transplantation.

However, given Orochimaru's abilities, it's quite possible that he might gain something from it.

But this deal is still worthwhile.

Seeing that Hoshino Shizuka had agreed, Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then come with me!"

He left the experimental base with his bento box.

On the way, Hoshino Shizuka asked, "Senpai's software modifications should be almost finished, right?"

Orochimaru nodded: "That's right, it's almost over."

"What, Shuichi-kun, are you still interested in this?"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "While I don't like changing myself, I can change others."

He then gave a brief introduction to Moonlight Gale.

Orochimaru listened with some interest and said, "Gill breathing system, that's indeed a good idea."

"But that shouldn't be enough. Leeches, earthworms, and frogs' skin respiration are actually more suitable for the Moonlight Gale situation."

"I have studied these animals before. If you need any information, I can give it to you for free."

Hoshino Hideaki didn't stand on ceremony at all: "Then thank you very much."

While discussing, the two soon arrived at another experimental base.

This place is even more secluded, yet it is precisely where Orochimaru researched the Sharingan and Hashirama cells for Danzo.

Here, Hoshino Shuichi saw six pairs of Sharingan.

Three pairs of magatama, three pairs of single magatama.

In addition, there were corpses of the Uchiha clan.

Whether the killings were done by the Root or were simply corpses collected by the Root from the battlefield remains unknown.

However, Orochimaru mainly researched the secrets between the Sharingan and Hashirama's cells, and didn't delve much into the Sharingan itself.

Or rather, without being able to study living Uchiha, it's simply too difficult to grasp the secrets of the Sharingan.

After all, the dead are precisely the two things that are missing from the very foundation of chakra.

Of course, the information and findings here are still of great use to Shuichi Hoshino, as they can enhance his knowledge base.

Orochimaru looked at Hoshino Shuichi, who was flipping through the documents, and said with a smile, "If Shuichi-kun needs it, you can have this."

Hoshita Hideichi shook his head upon hearing this: "Let's just hand it over to the Anbu!"

He then asked, "Senior, if you want to research the Sharingan, have you ever tried cooperating with the Uchiha clan?"

Orochimaru chuckled: "It seems that Shuichi-kun doesn't know much about the Uchiha clan."

"Their inherent pride will not allow anyone to study them."

"Besides, the Sharingan is the foundation of their existence; why would they allow others to study it?"

Hoshino Shuichi thought about it and realized it was true, so he said no more.

As evening approached, Hoshino Shuichi and Orochimaru left the experimental base, agreeing to help Orochimaru conduct one last software modification experiment.

After parting ways with Orochimaru, Hoshino Shuichi sighed inwardly.

Judging from today's conversation, Orochimaru will leave Konoha sooner or later.

Because Orochimaru's path requires a sufficient number of live test subjects, Konoha will become a constraint for him.

"pity……"

Hoshino Hideichi sighed inwardly.

Orochimaru's abilities are beyond doubt. If such a powerful figure were around, acquiring the necessary attributes would be much easier for him.

"However, we can still obtain some information through transactions in the future."

Hoshita Shuichi temporarily put the matter aside and returned home.

At this moment, not only Yakushi Nonou and Asuka were present, but also Shizune and Tsunade.

After the five of them had finished dinner, Hoshino Shuichi led the four girls, including Shizune, to the study.

After sitting down on the carpet, Hoshino said to everyone, "Although none of you use Fire Release, considering the future, we should still use the complete version of the Star Seal. This way, Shizune and Asuka-neechan can avoid the trouble of training the Hundred Healings Technique and the Yin Seal."

Tsunade immediately said, "Then let's get started quickly, we understand all of this."

Everyone was used to Tsunade's impatient nature, and Yakushi Nonou smiled gently, "Shuichi, let's start with Lady Tsunade!"

Hoshino nodded and said to Tsunade, "It will be very painful, please bear with it."

Tsunade nodded: "I understand."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately came up behind Tsunade.

However, looking at Tsunade's smooth and alluring neck, he couldn't help but think of Orochimaru's perverse method of planting cursed seals.

Suddenly, Hoshino Shuichi began to understand.

Regaining his composure and keeping his eyes straight ahead, Hoshino Hideaki placed his right palm on the back of Tsunade's neck, releasing his unique chakra.

The intense pain made Tsunade frown slightly, but the pain came on quickly and went away just as fast.

"alright!"

Hideaki Shiki stopped.

Tsunade sensed it and immediately tried to activate the cursed seal.

In an instant, lotus patterns spread from her neck to her face, and then Tsunade's pupils turned into purple stars.

Upon seeing this, Asuka exclaimed, "Shuichi, the cursed seal is different this time!"

Hoshino Hideaki was not surprised: "The cursed seal originated from me, so it will naturally be influenced by my will."

"For example, the lotus pattern, and the changes it has undergone."

Asuka suddenly realized, "I see."

At this moment, Tsunade said with surprise, "Indeed, there is an astonishing increase. Using the Hundred Healings Technique for grafting, just maintaining the normal state, the effect is already twice that of the past."

As she spoke, she formed a hand seal, completely releasing the Yin Seal to unleash the Hundred Healings Technique.

As the cursed seal patterns spread and a massive amount of chakra was released, Tsunade's twin tails flew up without wind, making Hoshino's eyelids twitch and his fingers itch.

Tsunade, however, was feeling the high level of activity in her own cells and said, "After the amplification, its activity is no less than that of my grandfather's cells."

"The boost from natural energy is truly amazing. No wonder Jiraiya always talks about Sage Mode with such pride."

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "The reason why those tailed beasts are so powerful is not only because of their enormous chakra, but also because the essence of their chakra is extremely powerful."

Tsunade slowly withdrew her ninjutsu and said, "So that's why you want to fuse with the genes of a tailed beast?"

Hideaki Hoshino nodded in agreement: "The human body is far too insignificant compared to the vast natural energy of the world."

"Alright, next up is the dean."

As he spoke, Hoshinoichi came up behind Yakushi Nonou and placed the Star Curse Seal on her as well.

Next is Mute, and finally Asuka.

Thus, all four women possessed the Star Seal, which was equivalent to having Sage Mode in Fire Release and Yang Release.

It can be opened instantly, without needing to focus on absorbing natural energy.

After obtaining the Star Seal, Asuka immediately said, "Shuichi, let me try to transfer my power to you."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately sat down, and Asuka came up behind him, put her hands on Hoshino Shuichi's shoulders, and then activated the curse seal.

The same lotus pattern spread, along with purple star-shaped pupils, and under Asuka's control, the black lotus pattern spread from her arms to Hoshino Shuichi's body.

Then Hoshino Shuichi felt Asuka's unique chakra surge into his body.

He was certainly familiar with this chakra, but it was vastly different from what he felt before activating the cursed seal.

It has become stronger!

Upon sensing this, Tsunade exclaimed, "This immense life force has even surpassed that of my grandfather!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded in agreement.

However, exceeding this is only the normal state of the first generation.

If Hashirama Senju were to activate Sage Mode, Asuka would still be inferior.
