Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Some top-secret experiments are conducted here, and for many researchers in Fog Shadow, being able to participate in these projects is the highest honor.

Inside the massive metal cage, a figure constantly shifted between human form and the "Muscular Ten-Tails" form, the resulting chakra fluctuations causing Tsunade above to frown.

Having consumed a large amount of tailed beast chakra and then been modified by Yin-Yang Release, the spirit born from the Ten-Tails was eventually fused with the spirit split off by Osamu Furukawa, and the Ten-Tails then transformed into a human form.

"It's still not stable enough... Is it because of the higher quality chakra?"

Tsunade, with her blonde hair, looked worried and turned to Furukawa Osamu, asking in a low voice. She had witnessed this transformation many times before, and it seemed that the modification had not been completely successful.

"Every time I try to transform this body into the Divine Tree, problems arise. It's possible that the chakra contained in Hagoromo Otsutsuki's spirit body is insufficient, which is why the Ten-Tails has failed to evolve into its ultimate form."

"Teacher, don't worry. This special life form is still easy to control. The Ten-Tails itself does not have a complete will; it only has the instinct to feed."

"After the spirit body assimilates and merges, that body is like a special chakra cloak."

"Although we cannot analyze this biotechnology at present, it does not prevent us from using it. The way the Ten-Tails gathers natural energy can make the cursed seal perfect again."

Furukawa Osamu looked down at the Ten-Tails, which had returned to its human form, and nodded slightly. As long as it devoured the Otsutsuki, the Ten-Tails could continue to evolve, and its spirit could also take this opportunity to perfectly extract the energy of the Divine Tree.

Kaguya's union with the Divine Tree ultimately transformed her into an immortal monster. Considering Hagoromo Otsutsuki's behavior, it's not hard to guess how cruel this "mother" was back then, to the point that it continued to affect the mentality of her two sons.

Considering the potential risks of fusing with the Divine Tree, Osamu Furukawa had more faith in his own power. He believed that even the damaged roots of the Divine Tree could improve his constitution, and the complete Divine Tree sapling would surely be able to transform once again.

"A cursed seal? I'm a little worried that the third stage of development might affect the user's mind."

Tsunade voiced her concerns, but Mei Terumi, who stepped to their side, chuckled and simply replied:

"Being manipulated by power only shows that the user is nothing special."

"Complete transformation is indeed more difficult, but in order to make better use of natural energy, some price must be paid."

"Even I paid a heavy price to obtain this power. I even suspect that my fertility problems are related to natural energy, every night..."

Hearing Mei Terumi veer off-topic again, Tsunade blushed and quickly covered the Mizukage's mouth. She didn't want to recall those intimate nights during the day.

"Mmm...mmm..."

"Hokage, really. You always absorb the most chakra. Don't you ever have any doubts about your fertility?"

After breaking free from Tsunade, Mei Terumi immediately snuggled into Osamu Furukawa's arms and complained, her eyes becoming ambiguous. She had witnessed the Hokage's madness far too many times.

"Cough... The test results are fine, it's just that the high-quality chakra within Xiu's body is affecting his health."

"The problem lies with our chakra. This is a difficult issue to resolve; we can only try our luck."

As Tsunade finished speaking, she couldn't help but cross her arms, and a blush appeared on her face. In fact, she had also considered having children, and the reason she absorbed a large amount of chakra was to increase the probability.

"I knew it! The Hokage is really cunning!"

Mei Terumi chuckled and hugged Osamu Furukawa tightly. She loved the feeling of being integrated into his body; this ultimate pleasure was her greatest motivation for persisting in her daily training.

When the three left the experimental device, Mei Terumi had returned to normal. Facing the upcoming Five Kage Summit, she had to brace herself.

"The theme of this meeting should still be the issue of ordinary people mastering chakra power. The success rate of the Kara organization's modifications is obviously increasing, and it is currently trending towards escalating into a war."

"Xiu, what do you think about combining the power of the five great nations to eliminate the Shell organization?"

“Power breeds ambition. The daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water are long gone, but those guys from the other four great nations have begun to get restless.”

Although Osamu Furukawa didn't pay attention to the struggle between ordinary people and ninjas, he had foreseen this day when he changed the ninja system.

Once ninjas monopolize production and control military force, they will inevitably crave more, whether for profit or power, which will affect the existing ruling system.

“I don’t think this is a bad thing. For ordinary people who want to get a way out, choosing to fight is the right choice.”

"There are too few ninjas who are reasonable. Only by making ninjas feel pain can they take the interests of ordinary people seriously."

“In the past few years, the plundering was too simple and brutal. Many ninja clans actually had better options, but they ultimately chose killing.”

"The Land of Water has long since established a model for the coexistence of ninjas and ordinary people, but the other four great nations have never been able to complete the reform."

"The Kage should also shoulder new responsibilities; they need to figure out ways to better integrate ninjas into the world."

Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Furukawa's words. After a moment of contemplation, she whispered:

“I talked to the Mizukage about this yesterday. We thought you would intervene directly, just like you did with the Land of Water.”

"Yes, I've even prepared a reform plan."

Mei Terumi also showed surprise and sighed. Seeing their expressions, Osamu Furukawa waved his hand and simply stated his thoughts:

"The Water Kingdom is a model project; I am merely offering a suggestion for the direction the world should take."

"As for whether other countries should refer to this, it's not that important to me."

“Those daimyo, nobles and ninjas are actually aware of this, but they just don’t want to give up their own interests.”

"I will not get involved unless a war breaks out that will drastically reduce the population."

"It is very difficult to persuade a person without using special methods, and ninjas make it twice as difficult, after all, many people still adhere to their ninja way."

"Instead of interfering, it's better to let things develop freely. Someone will eventually realize a better path, and then reforms will spontaneously emerge."

Tsunade and Mei Terumi exchanged a glance. It was clear that Osamu Furukawa did not intend to "rule everything" nor did he want to forcibly intervene in this world with his powerful strength.

"If that Sage of Six Paths had known your thoughts, perhaps he wouldn't have perished..."

Seeing the strange expression on Mei Terumi's face, Osamu Furukawa raised an eyebrow, reached out and pulled the two of them into his arms, whispering softly:

"I need the power of the Ten-Tails and the Divine Tree. As long as I don't change this goal, it will be difficult for that sage to agree with my ideas."

“He’s not interested in immortality, but I want to be with you all forever.”

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately glared at him, crossed her arms, and retorted irritably:

"'You guys'?! You greedy bastards! You don't actually want other women, do you?!"

"I know, besides Karin, there's also the princess of Sunagakure. You have such a twisted sense of humor. Be careful Rasa comes out of the Pure Land to settle the score with you!"

"Explain yourself! As your teacher, I will not tolerate your recklessness..."

Noticing Tsunade's glare, Furukawa Osamu gave Mei Terumi's firm, bouncy buttocks a light slap. Upon hearing a soft moan, he immediately turned and kissed his annoyed teacher.

"No! Not in the lab..."

"Let me serve the Hokage together!"

Chapter 305 "Controlling the Past and Future..." (Chapter without a main character)

In late April of Konoha Year 67, the two Otsutsuki who came to this planet following the coordinates both looked puzzled, as their clansman did not rule this place.

Based on past experience, the Otsutsuki who planted the divine tree would surely rule the entire planet. However, after searching for a month, the two found no trace of their clansmen.

A black vortex appeared out of nowhere on the desolate plain, from which Kinshiki Otsutsuki leaped out and surveyed the area, while Momoshiki Otsutsuki on his shoulder complained impatiently:

"This is clearly the place. Could it be that that guy was killed by some inferior creature?"

"The Divine Tree must have already been born on this planet, and it has even condensed the Chakra Fruit!"

"This is truly an unbelievable phenomenon. There are still inferior creatures surviving here at this time. That guy should come out and give us an explanation."

If it weren't for maintaining his airs, Momoshiki Otsutsuki, who was wearing a veil, would have already started cursing. Without fruit or a sacred tree, their journey here wouldn't even cover their "travel expenses."

The burly Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki didn't complain. After surveying and sensing the area once more, he responded in a low voice:

"After investigation, and combined with the stories passed down here, it is clear that the chakra was indeed eaten. Not only that, the power of the fruit was also cut off in the end."

"Tailed beasts are most likely products of Devil Fruits. We can collect tailed beasts to refine pills, which will replenish the energy we lost on the way."

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had floated into the air, did not respond to these words immediately. After looking around, he complained irritably:

"It's rare to encounter such a vibrant planet, yet we can only refine some ordinary pills."

"Once we find that guy, we must make him compensate us, and we must recover that chakra as soon as possible."

"What a piece of trash! He actually allowed those inferior creatures to master the power of chakra! What has that piece of trash been doing all this time?"

Looking at the clansmen's marks on the stone tablet, Jin Shi couldn't make a judgment; something just didn't feel right about the current situation.

Over the past month, the intelligence they have gathered indicates that there is a huge problem with the inferior creatures here.

Although it might offend Momoshiki, Kinshiki still cautiously offered a reminder:

"Don't underestimate those inferior creatures; they seem to have the bloodline of the Otsutsuki."

"Furthermore, with the power of chakra, some powerful individuals could potentially threaten us. That clansman might have been killed by an inferior being and hastily reincarnated."

"Huh?! How could that be?"

Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki didn't believe this claim, but thinking of the dubious information, he nodded involuntarily. As he sat back on the shoulder, he gave the order again:

"Find the coordinates of another location and then retrieve the chakra. The marker was transported here by meteorite. I need to confirm the status of the Chakra Fruit."

"If the Ten-Tails is gone, then there is obviously a big problem with this planet. The first two groups of people were most likely acting on their own."

"I know those greedy guys well; they'd definitely want to eat as much as possible off such a special planet..."

The barren land indicated that this place had been eroded by the Divine Tree. Momoshiki Otsutsuki was almost certain that this planet was special; any other planet would have been drained of its life force long ago.

Humans can still operate on other continents, and the planet can still function normally. Momoshiki complained, but secretly he was delighted. Perhaps a complete Chakra Fruit could be condensed here.

Kinshiki couldn't comment on the choices his clansmen made. The reason why the Otsutsuki clan was becoming fewer and fewer was also related to their excessively greedy nature.

However, given his position, it wasn't appropriate for him to state these things directly. So, as he flew into the sky with Momoshiki, he offered a more tactful suggestion:

"It would be best to find that member of our race first, so that we can understand the power of this planet."

"Once we find the marker, we'll immediately head to another continent. There happens to be a gathering of those inferior creatures there, which is a perfect opportunity for us to collect the tailed beasts."

Momoshiki responded confidently. He wasn't blindly arrogant; rather, the power used by those ninjas was precisely what he could counter.

Since that incompetent tribesman could only flee in disarray, he would show no mercy and would take control of the planet in one fell swoop.

...

At 4 a.m., Jiraiya suddenly woke up from his "dream". The Ten Directions Divine Art had been affecting his body, and this time he saw several terrifying futures.

Two new Otsutsuki members slaughtered ninjas indiscriminately, and several Kage lay lifeless on the ground.

A gigantic tree suddenly appeared, enveloping everyone in its branches. The tree absorbed some unknown energy, growing faster and faster, its root system eventually covering the entire planet.

Otsutsuki Isshiki laughed wildly in the sky, and all the attacks disappeared just before they reached him. Black rods blotted out the sky and pierced the ninjas, killing many familiar faces on the spot.

Besides these, there are also horrifying scenes such as Naruto's pleas, Minato's severed arm, and Konoha becoming ruins.

Jiraiya couldn't help but cover his forehead and stand up. When he entered the bathroom and saw his completely new face, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes. There were just too many images!

The future seen by the passively activated Ten Directions Divine Art may not necessarily happen. Jiraiya had already tested this before. Although the actual situation is contained within it, he would not realize it until it happened.

This passive "seeing" was of little help to Jiraiya; the greatest benefit of these images was that they served as a warning in advance.

"Croak..."

The communication frog, modified by Amadokron, suddenly appeared in the room. Jiraiya wiped his face while taking a scroll from the frog's mouth. After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but frown again.

"I understand, I will return to the lab immediately."

The communication frog croaked again, then hopped away quickly. Jiraiya, recalling the contents of the scroll, murmured to himself:

"Is the mystery finally about to be solved?...

At 9 a.m., Jiraiya arrived at the top-floor laboratory, greeting the researchers along the way. His body had undergone several modifications, all thanks to the researchers.

Previously, entering Sage Mode required the assistance of two Sages from Mount Myōboku. Now, Jiraiya can accomplish this task alone, and in perfect Sage Mode.

His ninjutsu, taijutsu, and summoning techniques have all been enhanced. Jiraiya even has "god" cells in his body. He is currently the most outstanding artificial human in the laboratory!

Orochimaru ignored his old friend who had just entered. He was still staring at the dense data in his hand. Everyone was busy in the experiment. Today was the day the android Aida was to awaken.

Amado, wearing frameless glasses, greeted Jiraiya and inquired about the previous mission.

"How is the recruitment of that cult member going? Did the Ten Directions Divine Arts successfully predict the outcome?"

Jiraiya's face showed frustration when he mentioned this mission. Through the Ten Directions Divine Technique, he saw that a follower of an evil god had gained immortality. The person seemed to be very important to the Kara organization, and there were scenes of him participating in the operation later.

Upon learning that Amado in the future did not care about the other party's identity, he decisively recruited him.

Orochimaru was extremely curious and conducted in-depth research on the so-called immortality.

Considering their attitudes, Jiraiya let out a long breath before giving his reply:

"It's a success. That guy named Hidan conducted an evil experiment in Yugakure, and as a result, he was hunted down by Kumogakure and Konoha."

"He can join the shell, but he hopes to obtain the right to preach; other than that, he has no other requirements."

Orochimaru laughed out loud upon hearing that the new experimental subjects were ready. He turned to his old friend and said slowly:
