Tsunade's Research

"You didn't finish what you were saying last night. What other sordid things are still going on in the village that you haven't explained?"

The dashing Tsunade crossed her arms. Although she didn't want to get involved, she still wanted to know just how bold these shameless old men were and just how many dirty things they had done.

"The Third Hokage dispatched his second Sarutobi Asuma, to the Daimyo's Mansion to become Twelve Guardian Shinobi."

Uchiha Yoru's words immediately startled Tsunade. After all, the Mangekyo and the manipulation of such a huge conspiracy meant that these old guys definitely had a conspiracy involved.

"There's always been a saying in the Daimyo's Mansion that the Land of Fire two jades, but some within the Daimyo's Mansion believe that one jade is enough!"

Before Uchiha Yoru could finish speaking, Tsunade, with a gloomy face, let out a cold snort, and the ground beneath her feet cracked open with fine tortoise-shell patterns.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoru's pupils contracted. The black high heels, due to the slight power he revealed, instantly caused damage to the ground, which clashed in stark contrast with his fair, jade-like feet painted with red nail polish and exuding a playful air.

"Kid, that's just your wild guess."

It's obvious that when Uchiha Yoru said this, it was entirely his own speculation, without any evidence whatsoever, simply because Sarutobi Asuma went to the Daimyo's Mansion?

After all, this conspiracy theory is too big, big enough to start a conflict between the Daimyo's Mansion and the ninja village.

The Daimyo's Mansion and the ninja villages were interdependent and coexisted. At the same time, the war-torn Shinobi World made both sides very restrained. The daimyo could not do without the huge war machine of the ninja villages, and the ninja villages could not do without the financial and material support of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Faced with Tsunade's threatening gaze, Uchiha Yoru feigned silence. This act immediately made Tsunade's eyes narrow. This brat was too hateful; who knew how many secrets he was hiding?

"Hey, kid, as Konoha Ninja and the current First Hokage's weapon is out there, it's your responsibility to find it and retrieve it. Also, your Wood Release!"

At this point, a complex emotion flickered in Tsunade's bright brown eyes. The fact that Wood Release had awakened an outsider was another matter entirely. But why the Uchiha?

"Kid, come back to town with me. I need to give you a thorough check-up."

As the princess of the Senju Clan, Princess Tsunade could not stand by and watch her Wood Release wander outside, especially since it Uchiha Clan. Although the past grievances between the two clans were long gone, she was still alive.

Since this brat was able to awaken Wood Release, does that mean she also has a chance to awaken it?

As a Medical Ninja, it would be a lie to say that Princess Tsunade hadn't done any research in this area. Her research abilities might not be as good as Orochimaru's, but with a finished product in front of her, she could easily analyze it herself.

On the vast ocean, a small boat sailed towards the Land of Water. Inside the cabin Mei Terumi looked at the scroll tucked into her Tool Pouch, and a look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.

It turned out that Uchiha Yoru had secretly slipped it into her ninja tool pouch behind her waist during that heart-wrenching farewell kiss.

Mei Terumi, suddenly realizing what was happening, couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance and disappointment. "So it wasn't an impulsive act to take advantage, but rather a way to cover up this action."

Slowly unfurling the scroll, it revealed a blood-red Three Tomoe Sharingan. In the instant their eyes met, Mei Terumi's gaze went vacant.

The spiritual world.

Uchiha Yoru's expression turned grave as he said in a deep voice, "I knew you would find out. Although you have the Sharingan's support, this Chakra cannot last long, so let's get straight to the point."

"What I said is absolutely true. If you really want to save Kirigakure, then unite with the powerful and influential people within the village, while you secretly gather forces outside. Just wait for the right time, and once you make your move, you can coordinate an attack from within and without."

"The clues I've uncovered indicate that Kirigakure's target for the next few years is the Kekkei Genkai families, and even all Kekkei Genkai ninjas. You need to secretly rescue these Kekkei Genkai ninjas to preserve some of Kirigakure's strength."

"And one more thing!" At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's figure was already somewhat illusory due to the depletion of his spiritual power and Chakra. He paused for a moment, then looked up at the other person and said softly, "I'm sorry."

This apology might be an apology for the huge conspiracy that Konoha started, or it might be an apology between the two parties.

As Uchiha Yoru was about to dissipate, Mei Terumi smiled, her tall figure slowly walking over, her slender index finger actually lifting the other's chin.

With an extremely provocative expression, Mei Terumi smiled seductively, narrowing her beautiful emerald green eyes, "Uchiha Clan, your mental Genjutsu is not bad, but this time..."

Sob

As the mental world slowly dissipated, Mei Terumi's gaze in the outside world gradually focused. After completely emerging from the Genjutsu, she couldn't help but squint her eyes and lick her lips, savoring the feeling from just now.

This kind of Genjutsu sealed on a scroll cannot be transmitted back to the original body like a Shadow Clone, which is why Mei Terumi dared to be so audacious.

It's like a dream. In reality, she has too many things to consider, but in her dream, she wants to let loose.

"Looks like my charm still works."

Facing the wind and waves Mei Terumi squinted. At that moment, she recalled the horrific scene of being stabbed twice by him during their first meeting, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Who could have imagined it would come to this?"

It's obvious that Konoha is also internally unstable, and Konoha's conspiracy is indeed too terrifying. She may need to rely on Uchiha Yoru's power, or perhaps the two sides need to cooperate.

From a public perspective, Uchiha Yoru might be able to cause turmoil in Konoha and alleviate the pressure on Kirigakure. From a private perspective...

Mei Terumi turned solemn as she gazed in the direction of Kirigakure. Her romantic feelings had long been suppressed. Her dream had once been to change Kirigakure, and now it was to thwart this enormous conspiracy.

"Genji, it seems you can't hide anymore this time."

Was Kirigakure completely wrong in gradually weakening the power of the Kekkei Genkai families? Not necessarily. The Kekkei Genkai families occupied too many resources, and weakening Kekkei Genkai families would only make them more obedient. The resources freed up would then be distributed to ordinary ninjas.

The ultimate goal is for the Mizukage to have more influence in Kirigakure; that's what some people are thinking.

This is why the Genji remained silent, and why countless Kekkei Genkai families also chose to remain silent, because they all believed that the Mizukage merely wanted to reclaim a portion of the power.

No one expected that the Fourth Mizukage's determination was to wipe out all the Kekkei Genkai ninjas in the Land of Water.

Uchiha Yoru was unaware of the drastic changes that were about to befall Land of Water, Kirigakure. He only knew that he didn't want to leave his homeland. Konoha occupied the most fertile area, so why should he leave?

Konoha was founded by the Uchiha and Senju. If anyone left, it was someone else, definitely not the Uchiha Clan.

He wasn't doing this to prove anything, but to reclaim what the Uchiha Clan had lost.

Inside urban housing.

Uchiha Yoru returned disguised as the silver- Sesshomaru, looking utterly dejected. Inside the heavily concealed room, Tsunade frowned, summoning various instruments to examine her body.

"How is that possible? Great-Grandfather's cells have an incredibly strong phagocytic ability, even if they're diluted hundreds of times as you say, they still have that ability."

At this moment, Tsunade showed an angry expression, as if to say, "You're lying to me."

Lying on his hospital bed Uchiha Yoru smiled bitterly and said, "I've told you everything I know about Teacher Orochimaru's experimental reports."

"First, the cells of the First Hokage are diluted a hundredfold. Then, toxins are used to weaken the cells, which possess great vitality. Finally, they are stabilized and cultured. This process is repeated several times until the cells stabilize, resulting in a weakened version of the First Generation Cells."

Hearing Uchiha Yoru's words, Tsunade frowned and said in a deep voice, "What method can we use to stabilize the cells? The cells that are beginning to weaken have already been damaged, and it is almost impossible to cultivate stable cells."

"Senjutsu!" In response to Tsunade's doubts, Uchiha Yoru got straight to the point, pointing to the three black Tomoe Cursed Seal on his neck.

Tsunade enlightened, "Orochimaru truly lives up to his reputation as a genius."

This time, Tsunade rarely praised Orochimaru. As the saying goes, everyone has their own strengths and specializations, and Orochimaru's knowledge in scientific research is ridiculously strong.

"The Cursed Seal, I've seen Jiraiya's analysis of you."

At this moment, Tsunade stepped forward, her large, fragrant white jade-like eyes appearing before him, and an alluring scent lingering around her nose. However, Uchiha Yoru closed his eyes upon seeing this scene.

At this moment, Tsunade was standing in front of Uchiha Yoru, whose head was turned to face her chest. With extreme seriousness and solemnity, she stretched out her palm to probe for the presence of the Cursed Seal.

However, upon seeing Uchiha Yoru's calm demeanor with his eyes closed, Tsunade's lips slowly curled into a smile, but she couldn't help but feign a serious expression. "Use your Cursed Seal; I need to study it carefully."

Immediately after Uchiha Yoru used the power of the Cursed Seal, the three black Tomoe turned hot, as if they had come alive, and slowly spread to half of his body.

"This is the first and a half stage of the Cursed Seal."

Immediately afterward, the power of the Cursed Seal activated again, and black flame patterns crawled all over his body. With his eyes closed, Uchiha Yoru said in a deep voice, "This is Cursed Seal One: Perfect State."

At this moment, Tsunade revealed a burning gaze, and while examining the object, she couldn't help but praise, "Orochimaru is truly a genius; he actually thought of a way to use the Cursed Seal."

"The Cursed Seal is a type of Sealing Jutsu. It uses the power of Sealing Jutsu to trap and weaken this powerful and uncontrollable force, while also bringing it under one's control when necessary."

Various professional terms came out of her mouth, and Tsunade excitedly took off her gloves, her fair and delicate hands glowing with a pale green fluorescence as she checked herself up and down.

"By controlling the Natural Energy within the body through the unique sealing power of the Cursed Seal, it mixes with Chakra to form this artificial Senjutsu Chakra, which also enhances the body's strength and speed."

"Although it can't be considered Senjutsu, and it's only a half-finished product, it's truly a genius idea."

Faced with new knowledge, Tsunade gradually became engrossed and revealed an excited expression. "Your form can be called Pseudo Sage Mode."

"Appearing all over the body like a tattoo, these black lines are the parts that absorb Natural Energy. Because they are uncontrollable and are also restrained by the power of the seal, it can be said that the Cursed Seal is a valve that automatically absorbs Natural Energy but can control it within a certain range."

"Logically speaking, Natural Energy is the most difficult to control. As for your Cursed Seal tattoo, if your body can't withstand it, the Cursed Seal will at most corrode the cells in the black pattern area. It might even forcibly seal the mark as your Cursed Seal can't handle it."

"By the way! Is this a full-body one?"

Tsunade, speaking in technical jargon, excitedly began a full examination. Inadvertently, she lifted her lower body covering, and when she saw this from a scientific doctor's perspective, she breathed heavily and revealed an excited expression.

His legs, with their prominent veins, were now not only swollen and red, but also covered with black lines.

Seeing this, Tsunade showed no embarrassment but rather excitement, and, acting entirely from a doctor's perspective, grasped Uchiha Yoru's leg.

Under careful examination, even Uchiha Yoru was embarrassed and blushed. He could clearly feel the warmth of her hands, and she kept fiddling with them as she examined him.

"As expected, my guess was right. The Cursed Seal also has a restraining ability. The cells in the weaker parts are relatively weaker, and they also absorb less Natural Energy."

As she examined the thigh, Tsunade noticed it gradually turning red and trembling. At first, she could only hold it with one hand, but later she could barely manage with both hands.

He was immediately shocked, muttering to himself, "The power of the Cursed Seal can strengthen the body; it's truly all-encompassing, even strengthening the 'legs'."

Facing the constant scrutiny and fluctuations from her jade-like hands was pure torture, especially since she was so close; he could even clearly feel her breath as she exhaled.

Furthermore, the touch of those hands, imbued with medical Chakra, was both icy and warm, a sensation akin to experiencing both ice and fire. Adding to this, Tsunade continued to perform various Medical Ninjutsu examinations.

This inspection required extremely sensitive touch in all aspects, even! Even!

Pfft~

In an instant, Uchiha Yoru closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. His body was already in a state of heightened arousal under the Cursed Seal state, and with your constant messing around and the unusual difference in status, it was simply a mental shock.

The physical arousal from the Cursed Seal, combined with the stimulation from Tsunade's continuous use of Medical Ninjutsu, and the mental stimulation, created a double effect!

"You brat!"

Tsunade, who was still engrossed in scientific analysis, suddenly revealed her anger. At this moment, her face, hair, and even the ceiling of the room were covered in essence.

As she cursed under her breath, a strange odor emanated from the corner of her mouth. However, given the precious experimental material at hand, even though it was disgusting, Tsunade forced herself to suppress it and snorted coldly, slapping the tree root hard.

Pfft~

Good grief, this isn't over yet.

"As expected, the Cursed Seal also causes the body to secrete adrenaline and accelerates blood flow to the heart, and you!"

At this point, Tsunade's expression turned serious. Looking at Uchiha Yoru, she said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, although the power of the Cursed Seal weakens Senjutsu and even achieves a state of restraint, it still corrodes the body. Ordinary ninjas simply cannot withstand the power of the Cursed Seal."

"And your body is very strange, or rather, the Cursed Seal formed by your cell fusion can adjust itself according to the strength of the parasitic cells, almost to the point of not harming the cells. In other words, you are the host of the Perfect Cursed Seal."

"Through the Cursed Seal you cast, as long as one can withstand its Cursed Seal effects, one can gradually adapt to the new host. This is an extremely dangerous yet alluring power."

After completing the inspection, Tsunade lit up, and she stared intently at Uchiha Yoru, completely forgetting the embarrassing scene that had just occurred.
