Tsunade: My Kyohiko, truly a genius!

Just the fact that someone possesses Madara's memories, or is Chakra life form like Orochimaru or Kyohiko, is already terrifying.

If I were to be resurrected...

That's terrifying!

Tsunade's expression shifted between light and dark. She took a deep breath, looked at Orochimaru with a hostile expression, and said, "I'm warning you, you can't research that technique anymore. All information about it must be sealed off! Understand?"

That technique...

Naturally, it's Living Corpse Reincarnation.

Orochimaru smiled without saying a word. Seeing Tsunade's increasingly dangerous expression, he coughed lightly and said, "I can only guarantee that I will absolutely not let the information leak out!"

"You... never mind, but we absolutely cannot let that technique leak out. Otherwise, if someone like that gets their hands on it, it will be a disaster for the entire Shinobi World!"

Tsunade's expression was serious.

Whether Madara Uchiha is Chakra life form or is still alive today, he needs a method to revive, Living Corpse Reincarnation is precisely one such method of "revival".

Orochimaru nodded.

He was very enthusiastic about the methods of achieving immortality, but he wasn't stupid; he knew what he could and couldn't do.

Even if Orochimaru Madara Uchiha, he didn't think he would feel particularly comfortable.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Kyohiko.

"Do you have any other ideas? Be bold, I think sometimes Tsunade and I lack imagination."

Just like the matter of "spots".

It can be said that...

Obito defected, no one initially suspected him. It was Kyohiko who gradually led them to think of Madara Uchiha.

The same applies to the White Zetsu now.

Orochimaru had a vague feeling that Kyohiko had some unspoken suspicions.

Kyohiko pondered for a moment, then said, "Judging from their current actions, it seems they want to recruit some powerful missing-nin to work for them. My intelligence organization will continue to monitor the movements of the missing-nin in each village."

"That's the right approach."

Tsunade and Orochimaru nodded in unison.

The fact that the other side could recruit someone like Sasori of the Red Sands shows that their own moral principles are not very strong, and it is possible that they will continue to recruit other missing-nin.

The three discussed this for a while.

Orochimaru suddenly said, "You wiped out the Old Man's entire organization?"

"No, that's still a force. As long as the Third Generation Lord doesn't act recklessly, why would I bother with that?"

Kyohiko shook his head.

He simply didn't want the Third Hokage to become a second Danzo or Root, that's all.

Orochimaru said, "Let him get things moving too. This matter doesn't just concern us; it concerns... the entire Shinobi World. It's just that Ōnoki and the Third Raikage definitely won't believe it."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Ōnoki and the Third Raikage are both very strong. If they could join forces, what a powerful force they would be! Even if Madara Uchiha to be resurrected, they might be able to put up a fight.

Kyohiko could probably guess Orochimaru's thoughts.

He chuckled to himself.

If it were Madara Uchiha with the Mangekyo Madara Uchiha, then there would indeed be a chance to defeat him side-by-side. But if it were Madara with the Rinnegan, then there would be absolutely no chance.

Tsunade is still studying that DNA.

"Tell me, how did he do that?"

You'll have to ask him.

Kyohiko didn't know how to answer.

Tsunade didn't expect an answer. She looked at half of the body, pondered for a while, and then looked at Orochimaru and said, "Do you have a way to replicate it?"

"Its strength is actually equivalent to the original body of the First, slightly weaker, but it still has considerable corrosiveness. If it could be further weakened, its harmfulness might be reduced, and it could be used on more people."

Tsunade quickly explained before Orochimaru could answer.

"It's difficult."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then looked at Kyohiko, "I might need Kyohiko's help."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be me. I think Yamato's physique might be more suitable."

Kyohiko reminded him.

In Konoha, he's not the only one who has mastered Wood Release.

One's own family knows one's own affairs.

His Wood Release technique was related to the system's nurturing, and not so much to his own physique or potential. Moreover, after repeated improvements, it's hard to say what level his physique is at now...

Even Kyohiko himself probably couldn't say for sure.

Yamato is different.

In the original timeline, Zetsu used him to enhance the cellular strength of the White Zetsu, suggesting that Yamato's physical condition is more worthy of study.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade.

He can't make that decision!

Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, "I'll talk to him."

"Good."

Orochimaru nodded.

He stared at the flesh and blood tissue in the culture medium, already pondering how to replicate and study it.

If we could cultivate more clones...

A glint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Isn't this the perfect experimental subject?

A flicker of eagerness flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he felt even more grateful to Kyohiko.

It's really good stuff!

Tsunade gave Kyohiko a wink.

Kyohiko nodded and followed her out of the research institute.

Once outside, Tsunade looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, keep an eye on this side. Make sure no unauthorized people get close."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

I went to the hospital rooftop, but there was no one around.

"Kyohiko, I feel this thing is quite unusual."

"What's wrong?"

Kyohiko pretended not to know.

Tsunade glanced at him and said irritably, "I don't believe you didn't see it. Since he could create such a plant clone using my grandfather's cells, and could also cultivate it through cell division, he could definitely create two, three, or even more."

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"I'm worried there might be many more on Ban's side!"

"Worrying won't help."

Kyohiko, however, spoke calmly.

However, Tsunade was able to deduce the possibility that the other party could be cultured through cell division based on this cellular composition and biological characteristics, and thus began to worry about the number of White Zetsu...

This is enough to demonstrate that Tsunade's professional skills are indeed very strong.

He chuckled and said, "For us, all we can do is strive to improve our strength so that we can better protect everyone in the village."

"Oh, right..."

Tsunade head. "Speaking of protecting the Guardian Ninja, what the Feudal Lord means is that since you handled it before, you should also handle this matter now."

"I'll do it?"

Kyohiko was slightly surprised.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Did Your Feudal Lord send someone over?"

"Yes, most of them are ninja monks, and the leader is Maru Ichikyu."

"The Maru Ichikyu, the monk endures."

After a moment of contemplation, Kyohiko nodded slightly.

That's a good choice.

The Fire Temple has a long history, and its Chakra cultivation and way of thinking are different from those of Konoha, making it very suitable as Guardian Ninja.

but.

"Is there anyone in Konoha who wants to become Guardian Ninja?"

"Konoha? Why would our ninjas become Guardian Ninja?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

"Some people might feel lost, but if given the opportunity, perhaps they would consider taking a look?"

Kyohiko thought of Asuma.

Asuma is still quite inexperienced.

Although Sarutobi Shinnosuke left the Anbu to focus on teaching and guiding Asuma, it couldn't help him out of his confusion. He still had to see and experience things for himself to find the answers.

Tsunade thought for a moment, then nodded.

"That's fine too. Let's choose from the children. That way, Your Feudal Lord will feel more at ease."

"Um."

Now that we've finished discussing the important matters...

Kyohiko asked, "Sister, you mentioned before that you wanted to combine the characteristics of Yin Seal and Strength of a Hundred to create a new Ninjutsu. Have you made any progress yet?"

Tsunade immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Do I look like I have time to study Ninjutsu every Tenten?

"But."

"It's not like there's absolutely no hope."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then began to explain her thoughts.

In fact, based on her description, Kyohiko could roughly tell that Tsunade had already figured out most of the Strength of a Hundred Technique, and now the only problem was to put it into practice and try it out.

The latter requires a lot of time.

A slight smile appeared on Kyohiko's face, then—

He formed a hand seal.

soon.

A sealing mark appeared on his face, and the unsealed black lines connected the Chakra meridian nodes, leading to every part of his body.

Boom!

The flow of Chakra from his entire body, covering every inch of his skin.

A look of shock appeared on Tsunade's face, and she remained unsettled for a long time. After half a minute, she stared at Kyohiko and said, "This is... this is..."

"You're busy, but I'll get it done for you first."

Kyohiko answered.

Tsunade's lips trembled, then she nodded emphatically.

She's happy!

and.

Tsunade could sense that Kyohiko's techniques were not aligned with her thought process.

Kyohiko's release Chakra to spread in all directions through Chakra meridians and acupoints, while hers spreads directly from her head through Chakra meridians and flesh.

If Kyohiko's technique is combined with the opponent's scattered Yin Seal...

So.

At the time of liberation, Kyohiko's mobilization speed will be even faster.

"My Kyohiko, you're such a genius! As for me, your older sister, I'm a step behind. Have you chosen a name yet?"

Tsunade, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Nothing brings more joy and happiness than seeing someone you care about succeed.

"How is the Strength of a Hundred Technique?"

Kyohiko asked.

Tsunade paused, then smiled and said, "That coincides with my thoughts."

"I initially conceived of this technique primarily to complement Medical Ninjutsu and achieve Seal-less Healing. Now that you've completed the first step of development, my Seal-less Healing is still incomplete."

Tsunade finished speaking, she chuckled lightly, "Why don't you perfect this technique while you're at it?"

"If combined with Yin Healing Wound Destruction and Destruction techniques and advance prediction, rapid Seal-less Healing can be achieved, but it consumes a lot of resources and is not very convenient."

Kyohiko said.

"It's possible, but Yin Healing Wound Destruction has its limitations and restrictions... If we could master the Seal-less Healing, we would have a much better chance of dealing with the spots."

Tsunade explained her thoughts and ideas.

She had many ideas, but no time to research and verify them, and no one could help her before. Now that Kyohiko has completed the first step, she can share her ideas.

but.

At this point, Tsunade suddenly stopped. "By the way, how's the Nine-Tails? Has it been dealt with?"

"There has been some progress. My next plan is to seal Madara and his Summoning Contract to prevent Madara from using them."

Kyohiko reveals the deal between Nine-Tails and Minato Namikaze.

Minato had wanted to discuss this with him before, but...

At that time, he had already gone to Kikyo City to discuss cooperation with Rasa.

"The Nine-Tails ' condition is..."

"If we release the Tailed Beast, won't Kushina be in danger? Also, if Nine-Tails tries to escape, are you and Minato really capable of sealing it?"

Tsunade frowned.

"It can be done."

Kyohiko nodded.

The Nine-Tails is strong, but not invincible, and...

"Sealing the Summoning Contract doesn't necessarily require fully releasing it. Besides, we have two Uzumaki Clan in our village. Their Adamantine Sealing Chains, combined with my Wood Release and Amber Jutsu, should be able to seal the Tailed Beast."

"Let's go to the Forest of Death. We'll take care of it this afternoon. I'll handle the Old Man and the village."

The office was empty except for Tsunade and three advisors.

The fewer people who know about White Zetsu, the better, until concrete results are obtained from research.

Tsunade finished speaking, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura both looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

although...

Mitokado Homura felt that Tsunade and Kyohiko's decisions had always been sound, so he was quite at ease with them. However, given the current situation, he couldn't very well undermine the Third Hokage's authority.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was solemn.

What do you mean?

"The possibility that the other party is Madara is increasing. We must resolve the Summoning Contract between Nine-Tails and Madara to prevent Nine-Tails from becoming Madara's ally in the future!"

Tsunade said firmly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I agree. When action is needed, let me participate. I've studied Sealing Technique for many years, and even without studying that particular technique, I'm confident I can seal it."

Hiruzen!

Utatane Koharu, raised an eyebrow and asked urgently, "Which technique are you going to use?"

Tsunade's lips twitched slightly, and she tapped her fist on the table. "Old Man, don't talk nonsense. Does Konoha still need you to use that technique?"

"This is a necessary final preparation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Tsunade in refusal.

"Absolutely not. We have two Uzumaki Clan who wield the Adamantine Sealing Chains, and Kyohiko who has mastered Wood Release Sealing Technique and Amber Jutsu. Minato is no less skilled in Sealing Technique than Kushina..."

"Can't four people like these control the Nine-Tails?"

Tsunade's words made Hiruzen Sarutobi blush.

He was only thinking about the Nine-Tails' strength and forgot about the current power of Konoha.

These four people...

It seems there's really no need for sacrifice.

He coughed lightly. "Well, I'm fine."

"By the way, Old Man, your people should get moving too."

Tsunade informed the other party about the "missing-nin".

Hiruzen Sarutobi him.

"I kept these people around for a similar purpose; the intelligence network will definitely be monitoring them and sending them to you."

He sighed, "Tsunade, you have to believe me, we old folks are definitely thinking of Konoha's best interests!"

"Yes, yes, I know. They're just a bit stubborn and backward. Alright, you three go and rest. I need to get back to work."

Tsunade, looking impatient, rose to see the guest out.

Now that the conversation is over, are we going to keep the guest here to chant scriptures instead of seeing them off?

"The people near the edge of the Forest of Death..."

"Please make the arrangements. Surely the three advisors can handle this? Kyohiko and the others plan to make their move this afternoon."

Tsunade chuckled.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless and was ushered out of the office. The three of them looked at each other and finally sighed helplessly.

Madara Uchiha...

The pressure is immense!

Hopefully, things aren't as bad as they say.

Utatane Koharu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked forward.

"In this regard, I still trust them more."

He shared the same thoughts as Kyohiko and the other two.

Based on the current clues...

The possibility that Madara is the mastermind behind this is growing stronger. Regardless of whether he is or not, we must prepare contingency plans in advance. Hidden crises like the Nine-Tails should be nipped in the bud.

"Yan, prepare an event to gather the people and residents near the Forest of Death, and activate the Barrier to prevent the aura of the Tailed Beast from disturbing everyone."

"No problem."

"I'll also make arrangements at Konoha Hospital, just in case."

Utatane Koharu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi advised, "Don't make too much of a fuss. Just like Tsunade said, they might be able to keep the impact within the Forest of Death. If we overreact, it won't be good."

"Clear."

Utatane Koharu.

The three discussed as they walked, and by the time they reached the corner, they had basically finalized the plan.
