I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Considering the recent events involving Madara, Danzo might be eager to increase his strength.

Intercolumn cell experiments?

He unconsciously quickened his pace.

In the manga, over sixty children participated in this experiment, sixty of whom died, leaving only Yamato alive. This time…

Before he even reached the laboratory, he sensed intense fluctuations in chakra.

It has a very strong aura; it must be Hashirama cells.

I walked quickly to the laboratory, pushed open the door, and saw a large snake.

Inside the room, Orochimaru, Danzo, and several researchers from the Anbu were surrounding the giant snake, with the sealing team holding it tightly to prevent it from going berserk.

Its entire body was covered with green plants, and its muscles were rapidly atrophying and collapsing.

This is the shortcoming of interstitial cells.

Unable to resist erosion, its own life force will be extracted by the cells and transformed into green plants. The stronger the life force, the larger the plant will be.

For example, this snake.

If it weren't for the seal suppressing it, the room might have collapsed from the plants.

"You're studying interstitial cells?"

Seeing that it wasn't a human experiment, Akabane walked closer to observe, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

It was indeed an interstitial cell.

"Do you have any idea?"

Orochimaru was at a loss.

He had experimented with many wild beasts before finally risking offending Manda by using the body of a summoned beast for his experiment, but the result was still a complete failure.

In the dish, there is a cluster of newly cultured intercolumnar cells.

He reached out and picked it up.

After glancing at the exchange list, the points for exchanging Hashirama cells quickly increased to 10.

These 10 points are the labor costs to help integrate into the body?

Clearly, it is a perfect solution.

Akabane shook his head.

"Even you can't do anything, sir, so why don't you give up..."

Orochimaru sighed and put down the booklet in his hand.

Danzo hesitated.

He longed for Wood Release, and through the fusion of Hashirama's cells, he might be able to master the secrets of Sage Mode. However, his observations showed that the side effects of the experiment were higher than he had imagined.

He is not lacking in the spirit of self-sacrifice and is capable of doing so, but when the consequences and the bloody outcome are laid bare before him, he cannot help but back down.

This is human nature.

Akabane hadn't expected Danzo to want to do it himself. Given his physique, transplanting Hashirama's cells would be practically a death throes for him...

He thought for a moment, but didn't mention using the Sharingan to balance the erosion.

This is not a good solution. In fact, Orochimaru's creation of Danzo's arm in the manga was quite crude, resulting in poor effects and significant side effects.

Orochimaru himself eventually gave up on this research, but in the end, he still managed to obtain a White Zetsu's body without any investment.

"Is there really no other way?"

"My lord, we are afraid that our current technology is not capable of this. If we force the fusion, then it is not a matter of technology, but purely a matter of luck and physical constitution. If we cannot withstand it, we will be eroded and assimilated."

Orochimaru was very honest, and his meaning was clear.

Such are the side effects of interstitial cells. Whether they can survive depends on their lifespan. Those with a strong lifespan can pull through, while those without will turn into green plants and benefit the world.

Danzo was caught in a dilemma.

What should we do...?

The boasting went on for three generations; is it too late to take it back now?

"Teacher, even Wood Release might not be able to harm Madara. If you really want to consider this, why not think about Impure World Reincarnation or Cursed Seal?"

Akabane reminded him.

Although the reanimated Hashirama Senju wasn't much better than Madara with the Rinnegan, he was still much stronger than you were in the fight.

As for the cursed seal, we'll have to find Jugo's family for that.

"Impure World Reincarnation, Cursed Seal? Oh right... how come I didn't think of that!"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

Although this is a ninjutsu that desecrates the dead, when the village is destroyed, who cares about desecration? And the cursed seal was analyzed before; it is a state similar to Sage Mode.

If the cursed seal is activated, one will have the ability to harm Madara.

However, the extent of the damage is also a question.

After much deliberation, Danzo said, "I'd like to try transplanting a small piece; if it can't withstand the strain, I'll have it removed."

"Alright, let's do it now. Akabane is right here."

Orochimaru didn't hesitate and decisively started working.

Danzo took out a kunai and cut a small incision on his arm—the incision was small enough to be easily removed by turning back.

He took a small piece of the cell and integrated it into Danzo's body.

A few seconds later, his arm began to sprout.

However, after Danzo suppressed it with chakra, the cells seemed to stop growing, and the green shoots that had grown also shrank back.

"It seems that it can be suppressed with chakra."

Danzo said thoughtfully.

however.

Within seconds, the intercolumnar cells began to spread.

It spread very quickly, consuming the chakra Danzo used to suppress it in almost a second or two, and then generating a special and powerful energy.

"Sealing technique."

Akabane's expression changed drastically, and he quickly drew the small knife from his waist—the knife that Hatake Kazami had given him, which was extremely sharp.

Then, the current jumped.

swoosh~

With a single cut, the flesh was precisely severed, and the wound was temporarily sealed off by an electric current.

Then, he used the Palm Healing Technique to heal the wound.

Danzo frowned slightly, then manipulated his chakra, forming hand seals.

This is the Wood Release hand seal.

"Wood escape?"

Orochimaru was somewhat shocked.

Danzo wasn't sure either, but he sensed that the power was the chakra the First Hokage used when employing Wood Release.

A second later, a sapling grew from his palm.

"This is Wood Release?"

One of the secret agents asked in a low voice.

No one answered.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the laboratory became somewhat awkward.

The country of Sichuan.

Ban wandered around and finally stopped in "Rogue Town".

"Ban, you've been here for three days now. Aren't you going to carry out our plan?"

If Black Zetsu had a physical form, he would probably be gritting his teeth right now.

“I’ve come up with a new plan. I’ll send a member of Konoha’s Anbu to the Land of Wind, and then you can send Shamon to his death. That way, I’ll save myself a trip.”

Ban said calmly.

Black Zetsu felt like vomiting blood—this wasn't what was agreed upon!

There was a reason why Madara wanted to stay in Kawakami Province.

The power I obtained was indeed from a Devil Fruit, and it should be the Whisper Fruit mentioned in the manga.

Compared to the storyline, this fruit's power is incredibly weak.

But Ban doesn't regret it.

Without this fruit, he could not have found Black Zetsu, let alone know that Black Zetsu was deceiving him—even though Madara did not know what Black Zetsu had lied about.

Staying in the land of rivers might allow us to find ways to further develop our abilities.

Black Zetsu really wanted to do as Madara said, but he knew that if he acted too enthusiastically and proactively, it would arouse Madara's suspicion.

After observing for a while, he gained a deep understanding of Ban.

and so……

The plan has to be delayed again.

At this moment, Kurobe's hatred for Akabane intensified.

I finally found someone who had awakened the Rinnegan, but they got so engrossed in the manga.

What's so great about comics? Can they be as fun as saving the world?

He secretly decided that while in the Land of Rivers, he could catch up on the One Piece storyline and see what Madara was really obsessed with.

Chapter 281: I'm not leaving until I see the ending.

"Researching Wood Release?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but raise her voice a little, but then she realized that she couldn't talk carelessly when she was busy, so she immediately shut up.

"It's not really Wood Release; that thing... can only summon a sapling, and it's very strange."

Akabane said as he followed Tsunade into the house.

After the experiment was completed, everyone discussed it and temporarily put aside the research plan for intercolumnar cells.

Undoubtedly, Hashirama cells can absorb chakra and generate a special kind of chakra on their own through life force. Judging from the situation after Danzo's experiment, transplanting Hashirama cells can obtain a portion of this special chakra for a short period of time.

With this portion of chakra, it is possible to use Wood Release in a certain sense.

The reason for adding the word "short" is... if the time is too long, the person may die, and being eroded by Hashirama's chakra for too long is not something that can be solved by simply cutting off the flesh with a knife.

According to Akabane's understanding, Hashirama cells are somewhat like power banks, except that their "electricity" comes from the host itself, and if the flow cannot be controlled, they will perish.

Danzo could control even a small piece of flesh, and it could be expanded to the size of his arm...

God knows how much Orochimaru hated Danzo in the original story that he gave him a whole arm full of Hashirama cells. Although it came with Sharingan, given Danzo's consumable use of Izanagi, the more times Izanagi was used, the more chakra was needed to suppress the arm.

How heartless!

Akabane sighed again.

Tsunade was unaware of Akabane's thoughts; she was still surprised by the "Wood Release" technique.

Although Wood Release is a type of bloodline limit, the Senju clan has not yet awakened it, so she is quite curious about it.

Upon reaching the courtyard, she couldn't help but ask, "Wood Release...does it consume life force?"

"What did you guess?"

Akabane glanced at her.
