The Hokage Position Was Within Reach

After discussing the details of their cooperation, Simu used Orochimaru's lack of experimental equipment as an excuse to bring the Hashirama Cells, along with all the remaining test subjects provided by Danzo, back to his own base.

Orochimaru had originally wanted to see how Simu conducted his research, but Simu shut him out.

As far as Simu was concerned, they could share the research results, but the research process itself was another matter.

After all, upon returning to his laboratory, he simply tossed the [Hashirama Cells] he had obtained from Orochimaru into the Blood Pool and began analyzing their genes.

Even if Orochimaru stood beside him and observed, he would not be able to make sense of anything.

This experiment was different from the others.

After entering the Blood Pool, the Hashirama Cells erupted with powerful vitality and began madly absorbing the nutrients within it, accelerating their own division.

In less than half an hour, they had grown from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball.

"An absolutely terrifying growth rate."

Simu used his eyes to record every change the [Hashirama Cells] underwent during the experiment.

As his spiritual power continued to rise, his entire mind had become like a supercomputer, countless times more useful than the computers in Orochimaru's base.

He only needed to look at this data once to record it effortlessly and store it permanently in his mind.

As the [Hashirama Cells] grew wildly, Simu could only manipulate the Blood Pool to cut off their nutrient supply.

Otherwise, with the nutrients provided by the Blood Pool, this mass of cells would need only a few days to occupy the entire base.

This horrifying rate of division and frenzied method of proliferation reminded Simu of cancer cells from his previous life.

Compared to them,
