For the next three days, Gen'ichi stayed holed up in his laboratory.

He even began extracting his own cells to compare them with White Zetsu Cells, attempting some kind of experiment.

"These experimental tools are far too crude. I still need to find a way to get more precise instruments..."

Gen'ichi furrowed his brow slightly and began studying the White Zetsu Cells.

This was also the first time he had systematically studied this stuff.

"To gain the Godzilla Cloak, I must first feed Godzilla a massive amount of Chakra to initially awaken the big guy. That means I need a stable Chakra generator."

"White Zetsu Cells, which can also be understood as Divine Tree Cells, possess powerful vitality. If I can uncover the secret of this stuff..."

Gen'ichi calmly cut off a section of a White Zetsu corpse.

Over the past two months, Gen'ichi had shone brightly on the Western Front, not just with his bloodline abilities that left enemies feeling helpless.

His Nuclear Release Clones had also contributed greatly.

"The Nuclear Release Clones created by using White Zetsu's flesh and blood as the Chakra core, my own body tissue as the framework, and combining the duplication principle of the Shadow Clone... in some ways, they aren't inferior to Wood Clone Technique."

Their only shortcomings were sustainability and stability.

Looking at all the clone techniques in the entire Naruto series, the Wood Clone Technique is practically the most overpowered clone. When created individually, they can function as independent entities with no weaknesses in combat ability, stamina, resilience, or self-healing.

When that guy Madara faced the Five Kage, he simply used a bunch of Wood Clone Techniques, each activating a Susanoo, and utterly thrashed the Five Kage. It was unbelievable.

"But the problem is, my Nuclear Release Clones are flawed. Even using White Zetsu Clones as a base, they can't withstand the Nuclear Radiation for long... All the White Zetsu Cells are killed by the radiation, ultimately causing the entire Nuclear Release Clone to distort and collapse."

Gen'ichi observed the White Zetsu's cells under a microscope. Even though the White Zetsu had been dead for so long, a large number of its cells remained active.

This level of vitality was truly frightening.

Gen'ichi didn't possess the vitality that came with Kaguya's lineage, but he held something else with immense vitality in his hands.

Cancer Cells.

But the biggest problem with Cancer Cells is their chaotic and invasive nature. They replicate and proliferate uncontrollably, severely lacking any means of control.

Once Cancer Cells proliferate on a large scale, they develop into terrifying cancer.

"My Nuclear Release Clones can use White Zetsu Cells as a starting point, but I can't rely on White Zetsu Cells to match the Wood Clone Technique..."

Even something as resilient as White Zetsu Cells can't withstand prolonged Nuclear Radiation. According to Gen'ichi's estimation, a Nuclear Release Clone can only maintain its health for a maximum of 15 minutes. Beyond 15 minutes, the longer it lasts, the faster it collapses.

This is without engaging in combat. If they were to engage in high-intensity combat, their lifespan would drastically shorten.

So, I need to find something strong enough to replace White Zetsu Cells, something that can also withstand radiation erosion at its core...

Gen'ichi already had some ideas, especially considering that White Zetsu, that strange entity, has no internal organs or brain. It's a creature made of single cells, likely connecting all its cells through spiritual energy, which then allows it to think and speak.

Adding to that the experience-sharing characteristic of the Shadow Clone...

Gen'ichi pondered for a moment, then took out a test tube. After carefully observing Ichie's Cancer Cells...

He then directly acted upon himself, cutting off a small piece of his own flesh and blood, and began attempting to cultivate his own core.

After being isolated from his body, the numerous cells lost the stable symbiotic mechanism established by Gen'ichi and Godzilla, and rapidly underwent mutation under the devastation of Nuclear Radiation.

After countless attempts, Gen'ichi finally managed to induce the formation of his own Cancer Cells.

Then, he carefully extracted the Cancer Cells and began cultivating them intensely.

"Directly inputting Chakra, this versatile power, as energy can stimulate cell growth..."

Gen'ichi transmitted his own Chakra to them.

The next moment, astonishing changes occurred.

These scattered Cancer Cells now exhibited exaggerated amplification, replicating themselves wildly at an exponential rate.

Under Gen'ichi's vast Chakra supply.

A mass of writhing flesh began to swell rapidly from nothing at an astonishing speed.

Bang bang bang!

The glass container instantly shattered.

"This thing..."

Gen'ichi stood observing, and then even blasted it with a Great Fireball Technique, scorching the mass of flesh and blood.

But the fireball's impact and scorching did not destroy the mass; instead, the injury seemed to make it even more frenzied.

Subtly, the mass writhed violently, guided by the mysterious power of Chakra, effectively carrying Gen'ichi's Spiritual Energy to some extent.

What truly made Gen'ichi's heart skip a beat happened next.

The more Chakra this mass consumed, the more its form transformed towards a humanoid shape. Its appearance... bore a striking resemblance to Gen'ichi!!

"Interesting. Cancer Cells plus Chakra plus Godzilla Radiation actually produced this kind of change. It's a shame it's still uncontrollable. I'm still missing a crucial key."

Gen'ichi quietly observed this thing, not cutting off the Chakra supply.

What else is missing?

Kaguya's bloodline, Yin-Yang Release, or something else entirely?

However, these shortcomings might not be impossible to compensate for with other methods.

The next moment.

The mass of flesh barely wriggled into a humanoid shape, its facial features gradually emerging, clearly a second Gen'ichi.

Roar!!

A mouth formed, letting out an unconscious low growl.

Twisting wildly, it instinctively crawled step by step towards the source supplying it with life and energy - Gen'ichi.

Gen'ichi stepped back two paces and instantly cut off the Chakra supply.

After losing its energy supply, the aggressive proliferation of this thing was curbed, many Cancer Cells starved to death one after another, and the process of atrophy began.

"This is getting more and more interesting. Cancer Cells aren't pluripotent cells; they shouldn't theoretically possess the characteristics to build a body, create a mouth and vocal cords... Did my mental interference influence its evolutionary direction? Chakra, that stuff..."

Chakra truly is a power that can bridge the gap between spirit and matter, connecting the living world and the Pure Land of the dead.

This thing before me, despite being just a single type of Cancer Cell, has taken a path similar to that of White Zetsu Cells, seeking the source of life and beginning to transform comprehensively towards the form of that life source.

Ultimately, it became something similar to a White Zetsu.

With the experiment having progressed this far, Gen'ichi's goal was actually already achieved. It wasn't realistic to expect a complete success overnight.

"I'm only missing the most crucial key... Since Mental Power combined with cell energy is what creates Chakra, then..."

"And this damned thing is built entirely from countless Cancer Cells. As long as the Cancer Cells are fed something other than Chakra, these Cancer Cells, one could say, possess infinite vitality..."

"Infinite cell energy... if I can just find a way to connect it to my Mental Power again, such an existence would be simply perfect..."

A clone that can refine its own Chakra and, to a certain extent, possesses infinite vitality, was born just like that.

This is...

The Cancer Clone!!
