Konoha In early March of 1948, the shadow of the war seemed to be fading, and no violent conflicts broke out on the front lines. Konoha Ninja still occupied most of the commission market.
At the end of last month, Sunagakure suddenly reported an intention to negotiate. As high-level consultants, the Chiyo siblings proposed a proposal to share entrusted tasks.
After the news reached Konoha, two more voices appeared in the village.
"Peace-Life Faction" believes that it can be discussed, but reducing unnecessary casualties is the most important thing.
"Hardline Faction" thinks that Sunagakure is scared. At this time, he will "beat up" his opponent with all his strength. He will not leave any tasks entrusted to him. It is best to make the other party become a vassal of Konoha.
Jonin Division has been summoned frequently recently, and Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi prefers negotiations. After several meetings, everyone still failed to reach a consensus.
The "adults" matter has nothing to do with Shu Furukawa and Chunin. After all, he is still a little young, and it is not his turn to express his opinion on such "national affairs".
Shu Furukawa didn't care about this. Apart from helping the lazy Tsunade with some work, he put most of his energy into secret experiments.
Late at night, in the secret underground laboratory on the west side of the village, Shu Furukawa was recording data on the computer while calling the little snake who sent the message:
"Just put the ingredients here. Here are the body shaping pills for you."
"You seem to be able to sense Natural Energy. You should understand that eating too much is an extremely dangerous thing."
The little green snake is only 1 meter long, and its body is only as thick as a forearm. It is not big, but it can spit out a lot of materials from its mouth.
The five unconscious Sunagakure Ninja were covered in mucus and became motionless after being spit out.
Orochimaru has completed preliminary processing on the front line, and the experimental subjects sent to the laboratory basically only have physical instinctive reactions.
After finishing the work, the little snake took the initiative to show its goodwill to Shu Furukawa and circled around him. After taking Natural Energy's secret medicine, it awakened its own consciousness.
Shu Furukawa touched little Aoda's slippery head and put the scroll into the other person's mouth. Then little Aoda reluctantly left.
On the other side of the laboratory, Katsuyu is also carefully sensing Hashirama Cells on the experimental subject:
"Master Xiu, there is indeed a kind of consciousness in the cells, but it is different from your situation. Hashirama Senju should never deliberately guide it."
"This is indeed a bit like "energy", but Natural Energy alone is not enough. Real energy requires higher quality Chakra."
"It's amazing that Hashirama Senju can do this. I'm not sure if this is a mutation caused by Ashura Chakra."
The reason why Hashirama Cells has incredible vitality is due to the current research conducted by Shu Furukawa. Unlike Orochimaru, he has the conditions to build such a "super cell".
"As expected of God of Shinobi, the body spontaneously finds the most suitable evolutionary direction!"
Shu Furukawa sighed in admiration. He relied on [Collection] to support the absorption of the spirit consciousness into the body cells. Hashirama does not have such "plug-ins".
"Master Xiu can try to build cells with this energy ratio, so that the body can passively absorb Natural Energy without causing problems."
"The spirit body can also separate part of it to adjust the absorption of energy in Strength of a Hundred Seal. Finally, this way of absorbing Natural Energy will become the body's instinct."
"In this way, the huge vitality and ubiquitous Natural Energy can be converted into the power of Master Xiu."
"You should no longer have to worry about Chakra when you become an adult."
Katsuyu squirmed onto Shu Furukawa's shoulders to explain to him the future direction of practice. She firmly believed that her kind would surpass Hashirama Senju, and that after the evolution was completed, it would be a transformation.
Shu Furukawa nodded. The proportion of deconstructed energy is very important. It can save a lot of time. But when he thinks about his own situation, he still looks a little weird:
"Is this considered the "unity of body and soul"?"

Orochimaru is still sitting on the front line of Land of Rain. Although Danzo tries to get him to return to the village, he has no interest in repeating the failed experiments in the past.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, Orochimaru got the scroll from little Aoda and couldn't wait to read it:
"Will recovery capabilities be diminished if consciousness is removed from cells?"
"But it is indeed better to control this power this way, and there is no risk of being assimilated."
"What an amazing talent. It's a pity that Xiu doesn't have Kekkei Genkai. He is destined to pursue power in a special way just like me."
A nervous smile appeared on Orochimaru's pale face. While muttering to himself, he touched little Aoda and found that the little snake disliked him and ran away on the spot. He was stunned for a moment and then whispered:
"It's getting more interesting!"
Orochimaru wants to test the influence of Hashirama Cells on Kekkei Genkai ninja, but unfortunately the experimental materials are hard to find, and he is not evil enough to attack his own people.
When it was breakfast time, Orochimaru went on a routine inspection, and his troops had completed a round of replacement. The new ninjas were eager to make meritorious deeds, and more and more people were asking for battle recently.
A Anbu Ninja wearing a tiger face mask suddenly came to Orochimaru. After delivering the scroll, he half-knelt on the ground and waited for orders.
Orochimaru saw the message from Hokage. After opening it, he read it carefully and secretly mocked in his heart:
"Teacher Sarutobi, you and Hanzo are becoming more and more alike. You are both getting older."
Orochimaru did not express what was in his heart. He looked at his direct subordinate Anbu in front of him and whispered:
"Tell the senior management that I support all decisions of Third Hokage, and I have accepted the task of sending the envoy."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
Hokage's Direct Anbu took a scroll and disappeared immediately. Orochimaru raised a smile on his lips, turned around and ordered his confidant:
"Let me tell you that we will get in touch with Sunagakure soon, and the top management has decided to negotiate peacefully."
Middle-aged Jonin raised his head in surprise after hearing the news. He hesitated for a while, but when he saw Orochimaru's calm profile, he finally reluctantly agreed:
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
In one morning, everyone on the front line knew the village's decision, and most of the ninjas who asked to fight were angry.
Robbery is also a way to make money. Now that the village is trying to negotiate, it is equivalent to cutting off everyone's "financial path".
Orochimaru expected this kind of reaction, so he did not stop everyone from discussing. If Third Hokage could resign early, it would help him control the "darkness" in the village:
"Teacher, your time should have ended long ago."
Konoha's resources have been gathered to conduct immortality research. Orochimaru can't wait. No one will be able to restrict him by then.
It is obviously more efficient to use the power of the village to plunder Kekkei Genkai ninjas during the war.
"Lord Hokage Maybe you are really old!"
"What are the senior management thinking? Are they going to return the commission to Sunagakure?"
"Don't say that, Lord Hokage just doesn't want to see our unnecessary sacrifices."
"You guy, if you're afraid of death, don't come here!"
Orochimaru smiled gloomily when he heard the argument, and the teacher who cherished his "tools" had long lost his sense as Hokage.
