Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Jugo spoke his thoughts with a serious expression. The way he used energy made him uneasy. This method of modification, which did not involve too much chakra, seemed to have the potential to modify ordinary people as well.

"Don't worry, the emergence of more advanced technologies shows that we still have room for improvement."

"You may be worried that the other party will use this technology to modify ordinary people, but there is still a long way to go before a perfect modification experiment is achieved."

"Even if this technology can mature and become perfect in the short term, we don't need to resist it."

"If we can use this power to create a better life, then learning and embracing it is exactly what we should do."

After giving a brief instruction, Karin, who was standing to the side, had already shown starry eyes, completely forgetting her previous resistance, and excitedly nodded and responded loudly:

"Master Xiu is right! We must learn to accept it, and eventually surpass those developers!"

"This is the magnanimity of a true master! Lord Xiu is truly amazing!"

Konan glanced at the girl who was fawning over him, and Karin blushed as soon as she noticed the gaze. Then, she subconsciously puffed out her chest. She was determined to follow Master Shu forever.

Suddenly, the slug popped out from Furukawa Osamu's shoulder, then quickly crawled to the lab table. After carefully sensing Nagato's body, it immediately added in a soft, sweet voice:

“The abnormal activation of all his cells and the energy that caused that change in his constitution were indeed altered.”

"Not only that, his cells have even gained the ability to 'store energy,' which is a more convenient way to fight than ninjas refining chakra."

“Lord Shu, I believe that Nagato’s body has become what you called a ‘scientific ninja tool’.”

Everyone in the lab fell silent upon hearing these words. It was a project that they had been researching for a long time, and the other party seemed to have mastered the entire process.

When Furukawa thought of that amazing ordinary person, he couldn't help but raise the level of danger the other party was. Even with Jigen's help, completing such an experiment would be a very difficult task.

"Don't be discouraged! This is exactly what points us in the right direction."

"Yes, Lord Xiu!"

Everyone bowed their heads and responded loudly, just as Furukawa Osamu had said, the other party's advanced technology did indeed save them some research time.

Osamu Furukawa patted Konan on the shoulder, and she pursed her lips as she went to the vicinity of the experimental table to visit her friend again. When she saw Nagato with his eyes closed, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

Having lost his Rinnegan and had his body altered, Nagato hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the wonderful life brought about by the reforms before falling back into hell. Konan hated those traitors immensely!

As the two left the lab, Konan suddenly threw herself into Furukawa Osamu's arms, instinctively clinging to her support and whispering:

"Xiu, we need to train more in the future. I need to replenish more chakra."

"Don't pity me..."

"I want to handle Nagato's matter myself!"

Looking down at Konan, whose hair had been cut short again, Furukawa Osamu gently stroked the Amegakure leader, who still retained her youthful appearance, and whispered in her ear as she stood on tiptoe:

"Sister Nan, you can call me anytime."

The kiss that Konan initiated was more passionate than ever before. She clearly sensed that Osamu Furukawa cared about her, and that he was her greatest support.

At the corner of the stairs, Karin, who witnessed this scene, covered her mouth, her face flushed, and her heart pounded as she couldn't help but keep glancing at the scene that made her blush and her heart race:

"The angel has such a great figure... Lord Xiu really does prefer someone with a fuller figure!"

...

As night fell, the capital of the Land of Water was even more bustling than during the day. Haku, Kimimaro, and Hyuga Neji temporarily teamed up and were responsible for patrol missions.

With the help of the Byakugan, the task became exceptionally easy. Although Byakugan was a boy, he looked more like a girl after being made up.

If the tourists and nobles who came to this place hadn't known that the Hidden Mist ninjas were ruthless killers, someone would have already approached the "beautiful girl" to chat her up...

With her black hair cascading down her shoulders and her skin as white as snow, Bai Guang, dressed in a deep green robe, walked down the street, becoming a beautiful sight. Her gentle eyes seemed to always carry a faint smile.

"What a disgusting look! Bai, you should wear a mask next time."

Kimimaro showed displeasure and whispered a warning. He was also handsome, but he opened his robe to reveal his strong chest muscles to show his identity. He hated those greedy eyes.

Neji also noticed the surrounding environment. Unlike the peaceful atmosphere of Kirigakure, this city seemed to be filled with all kinds of desires.

"Perhaps this is the price of prosperity!"

"Before leaving Konoha, I made a point of going to the capital of the Land of Fire to observe for two days. Just like the ninja clans in Konoha, although they embraced a new era, they still clung to those unpleasant rules."

"The reason why the Water Kingdom can develop so rapidly is probably because it is free from those constraints, and people who come here are showing their true selves."

When Neji finished speaking, he thought of the Hyuga branch family members who had served as servants for generations. Even though they shared the same blood, they never asked for secret techniques or more respect.

Always showing a docile side to the main family has given rise to a sense of superiority among some members of the clan, who mistakenly believe that the main family's bloodline is superior.

Haku, with his hands behind his back, was unaware of the changes the Hyuga clan was about to undergo; he was more curious about the gossip surrounding Neji.

"How to develop is a matter for Lord Xiu and Lord Mizukage to consider!"

"Neji, I heard you got engaged after returning to Konoha? Is that young lady okay with it?"

Kimimaro was accustomed to endogamy within the clan, and in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline, the Kaguya clan had consistently adhered to "internal assimilation" in recent years.

"That's how it is with ninja clans. It's probably very difficult for the Byakugan to awaken after it's combined with an ordinary person, right?"

"It's just a verbal promise from the clan chief; it's too early to think about these things now."

Haku smiled again upon hearing Neji's reply, and followed the two to a higher vantage point to continue their inspection. Gazing at the capital city illuminated by a continuous line of lights, he couldn't help but respond happily:

"Once that young lady arrives in the capital, the security should be even better. She'll definitely like it here!"

Neji thought of Hinata's shy expression when they parted, and finally shook his head in his heart. He did not object to his father's arrangement. As long as Hinata was willing, he would bring her here to live with him.

The ninja clans in Kirigakure don't have many rules or autonomy. In this environment, Neji felt that Hinata would become more confident.

...

Inside the towering castle tower, Tsunade drank strong liquor with great relish, ignoring the "vessel crisis" facing Konoha. As it involved the Fifth Hokage's family affairs, she would not offer any opinion.

Having been in the capital of the Land of Water for almost a month, Tsunade has become a well-known "easy target." Since the casinos opened here, she has never seen a gambler with such bad luck and such extravagant spending.

Although she lost money, Tsunade was particularly happy. The more she lost, the more it showed that the ninja world was peaceful and harmonious!

With this mindset, Tsunade suffered heavy losses, squandering all the money she brought, and even Ton-Ton was almost pawned.

The little pig has been so scared that he's been staying in the castle tower and not going out lately. He's starting to miss the peaceful life in Konoha. At least back then, Tsunade wasn't the gambling addict she is now.

Looking up from above, even the distant fleet of ships was bathed in a colorful halo. Seeing this bustling and vibrant scene, Tsunade immediately let out two hearty laughs.

"Well done! No wonder those nobles like to come here!"

"Those maritime merchants alone must have contributed a huge amount of tax revenue, right? Maritime trade is truly convenient..."

With her blonde hair loosely tied back and a few strands falling beside her face, Tsunade, her face flushed, inadvertently showed off her voluptuous figure encased in a white yukata as she approached Furukawa Osamu.

Furukawa Osamu casually put his arm around the somewhat tipsy teacher, and seeing Tsunade lazily leaning against him still asking for more wine, he couldn't help but chuckle and reply:

"The taxes in the Water Kingdom have been reduced a lot compared to before. Merchants are all profit-driven, so they naturally know where is more suitable for development."

"Does the teacher aspire to be the daimyo of the Land of Fire? To possess the most fertile land..."

"Hmph, I have no interest in being a great name! Do you dislike me being around you?"

Tsunade suddenly snapped out of her daze, interrupted her disciple, sat up straight, crossed her arms, and asked in an annoyed tone. She thought of the Fifth Mizukage's suggestion earlier, and her face turned even redder.

"How could that be? I thought the teacher also wanted to help the Land of Fire complete its revolution."

Furukawa Osamu hugged his teacher back into his arms. Tsunade initially wanted to push him away in protest, but after being kissed, the pushing eventually turned into an embrace. She only came to her senses after her full, fair hands were held.

"Since the teacher isn't interested in changing the Land of Fire, let's take a look at what I've been up to lately!"

"I have already met with Lord Hashirama twice. If you wish to see an old friend, teacher, the experimental subject I have prepared can also be completed."

Tsunade, her eyes still glazed, finally snapped back to reality at the end. She didn't even notice her clothes slipping down, and lowered her head, gently biting her lip.

"Is it a forbidden technique like the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"It should be called a kind of spiritual technique, which was taught to me by the Sage of Six Paths. However, I still need to continue to study and research the Yin Release: Shaping Technique."

Furukawa Osamu gave a brief response, and seeing Tsunade's conflicted expression, he pulled her into his arms again, straightened his clothes, and gently comforted her:

“Teacher, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to say goodbye to the past.”

"This isn't an evil forbidden technique; it doesn't require human sacrifice. It's more about making up for regrets..."

Tsunade thought of her grandfather, her teacher Sarutobi, her younger brother Nawaki, and Dan Kato, who caused her so much regret and hemophobia.

She felt she had a lot to say to her old friend, but when she sat up straight again and saw her disciple's caring gaze, she ultimately shook her head.

"I can't go back to make up for the regrets, and the life I have now is my own choice."

"I feel like I can live for a very long time, and my new life is just beginning."

"Xiu, from now on, I want to see this new world with you..."

Tsunade's voice trailed off towards the end. Hearing her disciple's laughter, she was no longer embarrassed. She reached out and grabbed Furukawa Osamu's black yukata, glaring at him as she said:

"Hold on tight, don't let go!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Tsunade, who was being held by her disciple, closed her eyes and buried her head in his arms. At this moment, she didn't want to think about the village or reforms at all; she just wanted to merge into Furukawa Osamu's body.

Her fair body emitted a faint glow in the dimly lit room, and Tsunade, no longer suppressing her emotions, once again experienced the feeling of her body melting.

After an unknown amount of time, Tsunade suddenly gasped as two pale bodies lay on either side of her.

With her eyes glazed over, Mei Terumi instinctively buried her face in Tsunade's neck upon hearing the sound, then reminded her in a seductive, husky voice:

"Lord Hokage, you promised to train with us!"

Noticing what was happening beside her, Konan blushed and, unable to suppress her voice any longer, collapsed to the ground beside Tsunade, panting heavily and mumbling incoherently:

"Lady Tsunade, this is just one way of training."

Tsunade, kissed again by her disciple, instinctively hugged him back. Her body became unusually sensitive, and the dreamlike night seemed to have just begun.

-

In mid-September, Osamu Furukawa, who was diligently training, suddenly felt the call of a spirit over the weekend. When he was transferred to the Mizukage Building in Kirigakure, Mei Terumi and Tsunade were still discussing Kirigakure's reforms to the ninja clans.

Seeing her disciple appear, Tsunade snorted again, but she was too lazy to pursue the matter. After being freed from the limitations of human lifespan, some situations were no longer taboo.

"The new White Zetsu body is now complete. Would you like to come and see the power bestowed upon me by the Sage of Six Paths?"

Is the news from Konoha true?

Is it really the power of giving?

Mei Terumi and Tsunade both looked at Osamu Furukawa with suspicion. They hadn't witnessed it firsthand, but the information they received seemed to be different; the Valley of the End had been destroyed.

"Of course, my spirit reconciled with the Sage of Six Paths, which is how I received his inheritance."

With a smile, Furukawa explained, then embraced the two of them tightly and immediately went to the underground private space. The two specially made White Zetsu Jinchuriki bodies were ready, and the live slug was still doing the final checks.

"Lord Xiu, simply infuse it with spiritual energy!"

The slug reminded him in a cheerful tone, and Furukawa Osamu nodded slightly. Then, the two split bodies entered their specially made bodies. One of them continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, while the other stood up and put on the Grim Reaper mask.

Upon seeing the densely packed incantations on the ground and the dancing body of the White Zetsu Jinchuriki, Tsunade's eyes widened. Just as she was about to ask a question, a wave of energy suddenly surged through the space.

"This is?"

Hearing Tsunade's whisper, Furukawa Osamu looked at the red and black Shinigami that had appeared out of thin air and been refined, and chuckled as he introduced:

"Dead Demon Sealing Technique! This is the technique to break the seal!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Tsunade and Mei Terumi saw the specially made body and the Shinigami suddenly commit seppuku, and they couldn't help but gasp again. Then, a ball of spirit shimmering with black light rushed into the prepared specially made body.

At the same time, the body that had completed the ritual also began to glow, and Furukawa Osamu's split spirit followed, allowing Death to repeatedly pull and drag it onto that body.

The Grim Reaper, unable to reclaim his soul, put the knife back in his mouth. Although it had been refined, it still acted on instinct. Without a spirit, it roared silently before gradually dissipating.

With one hand forming a hand seal, a solidified spirit body immediately appeared in front of him. At the same time, the spirit body radiating black light within the body of the White Zetsu Jinchuriki also reappeared.

After exchanging a glance, the two spirits slowly walked to a spot and eventually merged silently.

The solidified spirit body underwent changes. The three tomoe in its silver eyes began to rotate, then quickly split into six. After that, the silver eyes fed back a special kind of chakra into the spirit body.

After Osamu Furukawa merged with the new spirit body, a large amount of information began to flow into his brain, and the spirit body, which had already reached its limit, began to frantically absorb Sage Chakra.

His body also absorbed new chakra through the Hundred Healings Seal technique. After realizing the long-awaited transformation, a smile immediately appeared on Furukawa Osamu's face.

"Is this the realm of 'God'? It feels pretty good!"

Stunned, Tsunade and Mei Terumi scrutinized Furukawa Osamu repeatedly. He appeared outwardly unchanged, but they both felt a powerful pressure emanating from him.

"Is it okay to fix it?"

"Let the Hokage check you out! You seem different than before..."
