Tobirama Senju: The Uchiha Clan Gets to Eat Meat-Shouldn't the Senju Clan Get a Few Bites Too?

"I think you should reconsider my plan. I know all too well the threat Madara Uchiha poses to Konoha. If we miss this opportunity, Konoha may never encounter another like him."

"Konoha used to have your elder brother protecting it, but now... even with the injection of Hashirama Cells, your body still has an insurmountable gap compared to your elder brother in his prime."

Tobirama Senju was still muttering to himself, thinking that as long as Uchiha Nan nodded, he could immediately lay a trap in Konoha, waiting for Madara Uchiha to walk into it. This was the best opportunity to capture Madara Uchiha. If he missed it, he might never have another chance.

Tobirama, that's enough!

Konoha absolutely cannot be lost. It's not time to burn our bridges yet. I think you're just being too anxious.

"I know that Madara Uchiha's faked death hurt you a lot, but there's no need to dwell on past mistakes like this."

Tobirama Senju's obsession with Madara Uchiha is now so intense that even Uchiha Nan feels someone has cursed Tobirama Senju.

There's no need to turn against Madara Uchiha right now. At this crucial moment, it's all about his adoptive father. He should kneel down and join the Moon's Eye Plan, and then find an opportunity to make Madara Uchiha work for him!

Of course, Uchiha Nan only thought about this idea of reversing the Heavenly Gang, as there were too many variables involved.

Madara Uchiha can keep his fabricated identity as long as he wants.

If possible, Uchiha Nan would never willingly break through this barrier before gaining the strength to defeat Madara Uchiha.

"Let's talk about Hashirama Cells. This all happened so suddenly. It's unlikely that my talks with Madara Uchiha will fall apart, but I'm really panicking. I'm a little nervous."

"We must ensure our capabilities are in place, lest we end up like you, recklessly wasting our lives."

Uchiha Nan changed the subject, bringing up Hashirama Cells, which were related to his life and fortune.

Absolutely no mistakes allowed!

"Hmph, come with me."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Uchiha Nan had no choice but to give up. With a Tobirama Senju, he led Uchiha Nan to the innermost hidden laboratory and showed him all the recent Hashirama Cells solutions and experimental data.

"The Hashirama Cells solution has reached its final stage. Based on my various experimental data on the Uchiha, I've discovered that the compatibility of Hashirama Cells with the Uchiha is even better than I expected, and there have been no casualties."

"Every Uchiha who received the Hashirama Cells experienced a significant increase in Chakra, vitality, and ocular power. Most of them could even use Wood Release, though the power varied. However, performing Wood Release of the True Senju level was very difficult, if not impossible."

"Perhaps this is the function of Asura Chakra that you mentioned, which has already reached the level of life itself."

"I've performed several optimizations under various extreme tests, but the full potential of the Hashirama Cells has likely not yet been realized..."

Tobirama Senju to present a fluent and detailed explanation of various data and achievements.

"Great! Now, what are the risks of injecting Hashirama Cells?"

"98%?"

Tobirama Senju said somewhat uncertainly, "After all, not a single Uchiha has died yet. To definitively determine the mortality rate, we need to expand the sample size. Perhaps only those Uchiha without Chakra talent who were injected with it will suffer casualties."

"Then what are we waiting for? Inject me the latest Hashirama Cells solution!"

Uchiha Nan lit up with joy upon hearing this: 98.98%. That's almost a 100% success rate.

I've become so confident that it's hard for me to fail.

Uchiha Nan lifted his clothes to reveal his arm, and then Tobirama Senju carefully took out a tube of green solution from a cabinet.

Disinfect with an alcohol swab, tap the syringe... insert it into the arm, and inject the medication. All done in one smooth motion!

"It should be effective in five minutes."

After listening, Uchiha Nan found a chair and sat down, waiting quietly. Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if a piece of his puzzle had been missing since birth, and now it was finally complete.

A surge of heat and hunger arose within Tobirama Senju. Uchiha Nan drink it. The overwhelming hunger gradually subsided, and his body became warm and comfortable. This process lasted for a full hour.

At this moment, Uchiha Nan felt his body brimming with boundless energy, his Chakra surging, his eye power greatly enhanced, and his vision becoming clearer. He felt incredibly powerful!

Uchiha Nan clenched his fist, feeling the power within his body. The sudden surge in strength made him realize that Madara Uchiha Nan nothing special.

They're just cheapskates trying to sell their prizes!

Keep a low profile. His sudden surge in strength has made him a little arrogant. Madara Uchiha is still not someone he can rival.

Uchiha Nan assessed his ocular power and realized he could now activate the fourth stage of Susanoo in an instant and engage in high-intensity combat for a while. Most importantly, he wouldn't go blind.

In the past, his Mangekyō Sharingan was too fragile, and he dared not use it unless absolutely necessary. He had only used the Tsukuyomi eye technique once to show off in front of the Daimyo, and afterwards Uchiha Nan could feel that his eyesight had deteriorated slightly. He really regretted it.

As for techniques like Susanoo, Uchiha Nan didn't dare to experiment with them at all. The consumption was too great. All his experience in piloting Gundam came from the one-day trial card given by the system. Before injecting Hashirama Cells, he was afraid that if he only activated the third stage of Susanoo and fought a few high-intensity battles, he would probably go blind.

Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan was only initially used in Susanoo, and his eye techniques were used haphazardly. In less than half a month, his Mangekyō Sharingan was completely destroyed.

The Mangekyō Sharingan, though powerful, is fragile!

However, things are different now. Uchiha Nan can feel the difference in his body now; Hashirama Cells can slowly restore his vision. As long as he doesn't overexert his eye power at once, there won't be any problems.

Now I can use my eye technique several times a day in battle. That's truly remarkable progress.

How are you feeling?

"Excellent! I feel very strong right now!"

Tobirama Senju used instruments to analyze various data points on Uchiha Nan. Another experimental sample was added!

"Wood Release? Has it awakened?"

Uchiha Nan circulated his Chakra, and a small tree appeared out of thin air on the ground, then grew rapidly. When Uchiha Nan stopped outputting Chakra, the growth of the small tree came to an abrupt halt.

"He did activate Wood Release, but I don't know how powerful it is. The training room in the lab is too small. Remember to experiment with it when you get back, and tell me the power when you return. I need to record it."

Tobirama Senju's eyes held a hint of jealousy. "What a lucky Uchiha! His elder brother's power was stolen just like that!"

According to Tobirama Senju's speculation, injecting Hashirama Cells into the Senju Clan would awaken even stronger Wood Release techniques. If the exceptionally talented Senju Clan Members learned Sage Mode, they could even briefly unleash a technique like True Senju when they went all out, although they could only fight for a very short time, and it was uncertain whether they could even last a minute.

After all, the Chakra consumed by a technique like the True Senju is unimaginably vast; only a freak like the eldest brother can fight for an extended period of time.

"I see."

Uchiha Nan nodded in agreement to Tobirama Senju's request. He himself was quite envious of the power of Wood Release, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach the level of the First Hokage.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You can continue working; I won't bother you any longer."

Having obtained what he wanted from Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Nan planned to leave without a second thought.

"Wait a minute, Uchiha Nan, I also have something important to discuss with you."

Uchiha Nan stopped and looked at Tobirama Senju, wondering what Tobirama Senju wanted to talk to him about.

"Now that the research on Hashirama Cells is almost complete, and even a group of Uchiha clan members have been injected with Hashirama Cells, resulting in a significant increase in their strength, and some have even unlocked Wood Release. Your Uchiha was the first to take a bite of meat, Senju Clan should follow suit and have a taste as well."

Tobirama Senju's tone was somber, even somewhat displeased. He had always harbored resentment over the Uchiha stealing his elder brother's power, but Tobirama Senju had always prioritized the greater good and hadn't held a grudge against Uchiha Nan.

The Senju Clan lost many members in their research on Hashirama Cells, and now that they have a mature Hashirama Cells solution, they certainly want the Senju Clan to enjoy all of this as well.

"Let's discuss it again. Let's discuss it again, hahaha."

Uchiha Nan wanted to run away as fast as he could. It wasn't that he didn't want to inject the Senju Clan with Hashirama Cells, but he couldn't find a good excuse. The source of the Hashirama Cells solution was completely unclear.

He secretly dug up the graves of Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju, and then used the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation to keep Tobirama Senju chained up in the underground laboratory like a beast of burden.

If word got out that the Third Hokage had defiled the soul of the Second Hokage, the body of the First Hokage, and used prisoners of war from enemy villages to conduct forbidden human experiments, Uchiha Nan would never sleep.

"Don't go! We'll get this straight today. Why is it that the Uchiha gets to eat meat while the Senju Clan isn't even allowed a sip of soup? If you can't explain this to me, I'm going on strike!"

Seeing Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan wanted to run away, Uchiha Nan threatened him with a strike.

"Tobirama, I have my reasons. This experiment can't be done in the open. The source of the Hashirama Cells solution is completely unclear. The secrets of this laboratory absolutely cannot be revealed."

"I, the Third Hokage, still have to continue serving."

Uchiha Nan frowned and voiced his concerns. The Hashirama Cells Senju Clan wasn't stupid. A small number of high-ranking members of the Senju Clan knew about the Hashirama Senju cell experiments. If he produced the Hashirama Cells solution, they would definitely know what he had done—stealing the First Hokage's body. This matter was impossible to explain, and desecrating a body was immoral, especially since the body he had desecrated belonged to Konoha's First Hokage.

That makes it even harder to explain!

Uchiha Nan isn't that foolish as to expose his dirty secrets to the Senju Clan; maintaining the status quo is fine for now.

Even those Uchiha members who participated in the experiments were not spared by Uchiha Nan; each one was subjected to the Cursed Tongue Eradication Jutsu. For clan members who possessed Wood Release, Uchiha Nan gave a strict order: they were absolutely forbidden from using it, even if they were on the verge of death. If even the slightest rumor spread throughout the Ninja world, Uchiha Nan would investigate and eliminate them.

"Forehead"

Tobirama Senju fell silent. This was indeed a problem. Even he himself had considered Hashirama Cells a taboo subject for experimentation. Apart from a small number of high-ranking members of the Senju Clan and the deceased volunteers, no one in Konoha knew about it.

The Second Hokage desecrated the First Hokage's body and used it for experiments. If this scandal got out, it would be quite terrifying.

"We can't keep it a secret forever!"

"Your Uchiha has reaped all the benefits, and I'm furious! You owe me an explanation!"

Tobirama Senju started making a scene. Damn it, he's already dead, and he's not in power anymore, so why should he care? If this gets out, the Konoha High Command might find out about him, and then he could escape and get out of Uchiha Nan's clutches.

"Not now, at least not. We need to wait a while longer and come up with a foolproof plan. Madara Uchiha is still in Konoha; if this kind of scandal gets out, even I will have a headache!"

"Madara Uchiha is still eyeing Konoha covetously; Konoha absolutely cannot afford internal strife now!"

"Tobirama, you wouldn't want Konoha to be destroyed by Madara Uchiha at this time because of internal strife, would you?"

Uchiha Nan's use of the threat from Madara Uchiha was surprisingly effective!

After hearing Uchiha Nan's advice, Tobirama Senju Tobirama Senju calmed down. It was definitely not a good idea to let Uchiha Nan get embroiled in scandals and even cause internal strife in Konoha.

There's no other way. We can only endure it for now. It's all for Konoha.

"Hmph, I'll remember this. Once the matter with Madara Uchiha is resolved, the Senju Clan must also enjoy the benefits of Hashirama Cells solution."

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

Uchiha Nan gave a perfunctory reply, feeling a bit of a headache. Finding an excuse to bring up the Hashirama Cells solution was proving to be a difficult task. Never mind, let's just focus on lubrication first and stall for time!

"Hmph, that born evil Uchiha brat."

As Tobirama Senju watched Uchiha Nan's departing figure, he continued his busy scientific research experiments, muttering to himself in the lab.

It was already noon when Uchiha Nan left the underground laboratory.

It was still early, Uchiha Nan planned to have lunch and then head to Myobokuzan in the afternoon. He had already injected Hashirama Cells and obtained a fragmented version of the Sage Body.

Uchiha Nan could feel a significant increase in his affinity for natural energy.

This afternoon, I'm sure I'll make Great Breakthrough in cultivating Sage Mode.

While he might not be able to summon Sage Mode with a simple clap of his hand like the First Hokage, he should still have a chance to achieve a Sage Mode of Naruto Uzumaki's level.

The ability to collect natural energy with Shadow Clone, instantly bring it back to the main body, and then immediately activate Sage Mode is a high-level technique that ordinary people cannot achieve simply by cultivating Sage Mode.

For example, Jiraiya trained his whole life, he could never reach this level. Naruto's talent could be classified as T0 level in the Ninja world.
