"Is it Mr. Genichi again?"
Mizukage's Office, Karatachi Yagura couldn't help but sigh and feel helpless after listening to Qing's report.
Although I felt unwilling to be defeated by such a strong man, I had no complaints.
Who can blame this?
It's completely a difference in strength.
The frontline commander died directly in battle at Land of Fire, and it is said that he was also killed by Shita Genichi.
Shita Genichi's strength deserves to be treated like a shadow figure by Karatachi Yagura.
"Qing, do your best to treat the wounded."
"Also, bring everyone back!"
Karatachi Yagura issued the order.
Qing quickly took the order and went to deliver the order.
The losses in this defeat were too heavy, especially the morale, which was completely shattered by Konoha, and it will take some time to recover.
Qing's heart was heavy.
I am afraid that in the future, the ninjas in the village will feel fear and awe when facing Shita Genichi.
After Qing left, Karatachi Yagura pondered for a moment, then summoned a Anbu and ordered, "Send Scorch Release Pakura's information on Konoha to Sunagakure!"
Kirigakure Anbu Ninja immediately took the order and left.
As for Pakura, Karatachi Yagura did not publicize it too much.
After all, things are a bit dark.
But it is still very necessary to inform Sunagakure, this ally.
And Konoha...
Karatachi Yagura frowned in thought.
He naturally admires and respects a strong man like Shita Genichi, but the two sides are now enemies, so as Fourth Mizukage, he must think about strategies to deal with the enemy.
A huge defeat almost shattered morale.
But Karatachi Yagura knows very well that after things calm down, there will be sentiments of revenge within the village Konoha.
The war with Konoha is far from over.
However, facing a strong man like Shita Genichi, what else can he do besides taking action himself?
"Even if I take action myself, I'm not sure of victory."
Karatachi Yagura thought to himself.
This is not because he belittles himself.
Although he has become Three-Tails Jinchūriki and is gradually mastering the power of Three-Tails.
But having fought with Shita Genichi before, he knew very well how powerful this opponent was.
"Unless we can fully grasp the power of Three-Tails, we can suppress or even defeat Mr. Genichi!"
Karatachi Yagura secret channel.
However, the power of Tailed Beast is not so easy to control.
Two days later, Sunagakure, Kazekage's Office.
Rasa looked at the information sent from Kirigakure and couldn't help but look a little solemn. "Pakura was actually rescued by Konoha."
"It seems that he wanted to destroy the peace talks with Kirigakure before, so that was also done by Konoha."
"Konoha actually has such amazing sneaking ability?"
Rasa's face became a little gloomy.
Pakura This matter is not easy to handle.
Rasa is very worried. If Konoha makes a fuss about Pakura, it may lead to turmoil within the village.
It may even shake the morale of the front line.
Rasa lowered his eyes and thought.
After a while, Rasa opened his eyes and picked up a pen to write a secret letter.
There is only one way to solve the hidden danger of Pakura.
That means not recognizing the existence of Konoha and "Pakura".
Scorch Release Pakura of Sunagakure died long ago in the battle against Iwagakure, and was the hero of the village.
And Konoha's "Pakura" is Puppet that Konoha shamefully stole the body of the village hero and then created it through technical means.
All in all, the legitimacy of Konoha and "Pakura" cannot be recognized.
In this way, not only can hidden dangers be eliminated, but also frontline morale can be boosted.
After all, Konoha is the hero who is desecrating the village!
As for the truth.
For the sake of the overall situation of the village, one can only sacrifice one person.
Soon Rasa wrote the secret letter, and then had someone secretly send it to the front line and hand it over to Chiyo.
Iwagakure.
Ōnoki was a little unhappy after receiving the news of Kirigakure's defeat.
This means that Konoha will free up more troops.
The good news is that Konoha will most likely solve Sunagakure first.
With a sullen face, Ōnoki looked at the map.
Next year is key!
Ōnoki's eyes fell on Land of Grass.
It is unlikely that Land of Rain will break through. Even if more troops are invested, it will be difficult to break through Land of Rain and attack Land of Fire because of the existence of Amegakure.
Then, direction Land of Grass is the only route.
A plan to attack from Land of Grass had been made before, but the time had not yet arrived.
You need to wait until Konoha devotes more troops to the Sunagakure battlefield before launching a surprise attack on Land of Fire.
Although Land of Fire also has defenses at the border, the number of troops is not large.
As for Kusagakure.
Ōnoki didn't take this Ninja Village seriously.
Kusagakure had better not interfere, otherwise, he would not mind taking the opportunity to destroy Kusagakure and make this village the next Sky Ninja Village.
Looking at Land of Grass, Ōnoki's eyes were full of killing intent.
Konohagakure, with the staged victory in the war against the Mist Ninjas, ninjas gradually withdrew from the front line, making the village suddenly lively.
Even the sadness of his companions dying in battle seemed to be diluted.
Moreover, as the New Year approaches, the weather gradually becomes colder and colder. Whether it is the Land of Rain battlefield, Sunagakure battlefield, or Kumogakure battlefield, they all begin to quiet down, and the intensity of the war plummets.
But these have nothing to do with Shita Genichi.
After returning to Konoha, his life returned to its previous state.
I practice cultivation and research, and occasionally get together with Kakashi and the others at my home, Dango Shop, and treat everyone to meatballs.
Or when Might Guy is here, let's have a passionate youthful competition.
Or compete with Taijutsu, or compete with each other in a race.
But most of the time, Shita Genichi still practiced silently, spending time in the laboratory playing with various instruments, and having cordial exchanges with many general teachers.
For Shita Genichi, the more knowledge accumulated now, the stronger the outbreak will be in the future.
This day.
Shita Genichi came to Experimental Base of Orochimaru.
"Senior."
Shita Genichi says hello to Orochimaru who is busy.
This person is also a hard-working person. After coming off the battlefield, he spends time in the laboratory, which is really interesting.
Orochimaru, who was preparing reagents, looked up, smiled and said, "Genichi-kun, how is the research on Hydrification Secret Technique?"
"Anything gained?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "A little bit, but I didn't get it from the Hozuki Clan, but from a forbidden technique developed by Second."
Orochimaru paused. "Forbidden technique developed by Second?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu can bring the soul out of Pure Land Summoning and resurrect the dead with the help of sacrifices... Of course the key is not this technique, but the mutual transformation between the energy of the body and the physicalization of energy involved."
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. "Is it similar to Tailed Beast?"
Shita Genichi knows what he is talking about. "Not to that extent, but very interesting."
"The physical body, energy, and matter can be transformed into a cycle through chakra, not only hydration, but also other similar applications."
Since it can be transformed into water, it can also be transformed into cremation, thunder, earth, etc.
Perhaps another word can be used to describe it accurately: Physical Elementalization!
Of course, judging from current research, Shita Genichi is not generally difficult.
Especially elementalizing itself.
Hydration is definitely the simplest one, which has a great relationship with the elemental composition of the human body itself.
Until now, Shita Genichi has not completed the development of its own Ice Human, or it can be said that it has been transformed into ice elements.
It is really difficult to unite knowledge and action!
After listening to Shita Genichi's discussion, Orochimaru pondered for a moment and then smiled and said, "Even Impure World Reincarnation allows you to practice forbidden arts. This is not like his style."
Shita Genichi smiled and said, "Senior, I am very disciplined."
"The reason why I practice this forbidden technique is purely for research needs."
Orochimaru smiled noncommittally, and then changed the subject. "I recently made a very interesting discovery."
Shita Genichi is curious. "What is it about?"
Orochimaru smiled, "About Hashirama Cells and Sharingan."
"As you said, these two powers do have the effect of achievement, or in other words, they can suppress and achieve each other in different bodies."
"However, this is not entirely the relationship between Yang Release and Yin Release."
"I found that the Hashirama gene is closely related to the Uchiha Clan gene."
Shita Genichi raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Oh?"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "If we trace it back, Senju and Uchiha may come from the same ancestor, although they may not be as close as Uzumaki Clan."
"So, if you look at the deep connection between genes..."
"Haha, maybe there was someone who had both Yang Release of the Senju Clan and Yin Release of the Uchiha Clan."
Shita Genichi couldn't help but secretly admire. "As expected of Snake Auntie, so sharp."
He only gave a little hint, but Orochimaru researched a lot of things and made very reasonable inferences from the information obtained.
So Shita Genichi followed suit and said in surprise, "Senior, what you mean is... if Senju and Uchiha have the same ancestor, then which ancestor did Sharingan and Yang Release inherit their powers respectively?"
"No, maybe the ones inherited are Yang Release and Yin Release... Maybe Sharingan was developed by the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan?"
Orochimaru's eyes flickered and he smiled, "Both of these possibilities are possible."
"However, judging from the way Sharingan opened his eyes and was promoted. Haha, I am afraid that the possibility of Sharingan being developed by one of Uchiha's ancestors is very small. It is more likely that it was inherited."
Shita Genichi nodded after listening.
Indeed, if the developed Sharingan, or even the Pakura, was formed by accidental fusion, then the way Sharingan opens its eyes would not be so anti-human.
Of course, Shita Genichi knows the answer.
So he pretended to be thoughtful. "If that's the case, then..."
"The common ancestor of the two races possesses both the powerful Yang Release and Yin Release, plus Sharingan... Such a character has no name passed down."
Orochimaru also has some regrets. "Ninja World's history is too incomplete."
Then he changed his tone. "Whether it is transplanting Sharingan to Senju, or transplanting Hashirama Cells to Uchiha, there may be unexpected gains."
Shita Genichi spread his hands. "I can't convince Tsunade about this. Senior, you and Tsunade have been friends for decades, so it should be easier to convince her!"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Haha, I don't want to be beaten by her."
Shita Genichi rolled his eyes: Should I be beaten?
Orochimaru was not surprised to be rejected. He still smiled and said, "I know Tsunade very well. She treats you differently."
"Unfortunately, now Senju Clan has died."
Orochimaru felt melancholy for a moment, not because Senju died, but because he thought of his disciple Nawaki.
Although Tsunade and Nawaki are not named Senju, they are indeed the most orthodox bloodline of Senju.
The reason why the surname Senju is not used is related to the de-familialization of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
There are many factors for the demise of the Senju Clan, but the surname Senju was personally eliminated by Senju Tobirama.
Coming out of Orochimaru's laboratory, Shita Genichi suddenly thought of a question.
From a genetic perspective, can the gene of Rinnegan be recombined?
"Such a possibility is indeed possible, but sufficient genetic maps must be collected, but this condition is obviously not available now."
Shita Genichi shook his head secretly.
Senju are scattered, and only a few Uzumaki Clan are left.
Uchiha is quite complete.
Then Shita Genichi burst out laughing, "I've lost my mind. When Uchiha Sasuke is born, we can completely obtain cells from him. With Hashirama Cells, it's also possible to analyze the secret of Rinnegan."
He has not yet had the idea of transplanting cells.
Moreover, simply transplanting cells is too unlikely to turn on Rinnegan, and it takes a long time.
Of course, you can use gold fingers.
However, Shita Genichi still prefers to practice Kekkei Genkai on his own.
His intuition told him that although such a road would be very difficult, it would also have more possibilities.
But similarly, in Ninja World, and even in the entire Hokage universe, Rinnegan and Rinne Sharingan do have unparalleled allure.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it is transplanted or not, but research must be done.
"First, let's study the secret of Sharingan clearly..."
Shita Genichi went back to the laboratory and continued busy.
However, he has not yet used the half-body of White Zetsu that he obtained previously, so he has to wait.
Time flies, and Year 47 of Konoha will pass completely in the blink of an eye.
Tsunade, Uzumaki Ina, and Shizune also returned from the battlefield one after another.
There were still a few hours before the New Year. Uzumaki Ina and Shizune all went out to play, but Shita Genichi dragged Tsunade to the laboratory.
Then unseal half of White Zetsu's body from Sealing Scroll.
"Where did this come from? It's weird."
Tsunade looked very disgusted.
New Year was coming soon, and she was planning to drink and relax, but she was forced to come to work by Shita Genichi, and she was irritated.
She doesn't have the spirit of Shita Genichi.
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Shita Genichi spoke with a very serious expression.
Tsunade frowned and calmed down, crossed his arms and nodded to indicate that he could continue.
Shita Genichi said, "Has Lady Tsunade seen Rinnegan?"
Tsunade shook his head. "No, this pupil technique only exists in legends, right? It is called the three major pupil techniques together with Sharingan and Byakugan. It is said to be the powerful pupil technique possessed by Sage of Six Paths, the ancestor of ninjas."
Shita Genichi said, "I have seen it, and so has teacher Jiraiya."
Tsunade was surprised. "Jiraiya That guy, he didn't even mention this matter."
Shita Genichi continued, "Land of Rain has the ninja organization Akatsuki, and there are three people in it who have been taught by teacher Jiraiya."
Tsunade frowned. "One of them?"
"That fool really helped three brats at Land of Rain and Jiraiya."
Shita Genichi nodded. "The person who owns Rinnegan is called Nagato. I happened to meet Danzo and when I went on a mission before. Hanzo teamed up to strangle Akatsuki, and the core of the three died as a result. Nagato and another Konan were attracted by a person suspected of being Uchiha Madara."
"Uchiha Madara!"
Tsunade exclaimed and lowered his hand on his chest, "Uchiha Madara? Are you pretending to be this person?"
Shita Genichi shook his head. "My personal analysis is that it is very likely that it is Uchiha Madara."
"I have fought against him. He has Sharingan and can use Susanoo that only Mangekyō Sharingan has. It is very powerful and I am no match for him."
Tsunade looked solemn. "Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed very rare in the Uchiha Clan. Does the old man know about this?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "It has been reported, and there is no way to trace it for the time being."
Tsunade pondered, "In that battle, Uchiha Madara did die. I heard that Uchiha Madara's body was also brought back by the second grandfather."
"If it's really him, how did he come back to life?"
"Is it possible that Uchiha has a bloodline spreading outside, which happened to open Mangekyō Sharingan."
Shita Genichi nodded. "This is indeed a possibility, but I know a forbidden technique of the Uchiha Clan, named Izanagi, which the guy Danzo used."
"At the cost of completely blinding a Three Tomoe Sharingan, you can use this forbidden technique to turn all factors that are not conducive to you, including death, into illusions. There is also Transcription Seal, which is also the unique sealing pupil technique of the Uchiha Clan."
Tsunade vibrates.
Shita Genichi pointed at half of White Zetsu's body. "This is the trophy obtained during that battle. It is a very interesting creation. It contains First's target cells."
Tsunade's eyes fell on the half-body of White Zetsu: "That Uchiha Madara one?"
Shita Genichi said, "His subordinates."
"Then let's see!"
Tsunade turned around to get the gloves.
When she came back, Shita Genichi had lifted the seal on White Zetsu's body, and then Tsunade was surprised to see that half of the body was still squirming, as if it was trying to grow the other half of the body.
But this is obviously not possible.
After all, Senju Hashirama can't do it, let alone such a defective product.
Although it has been assimilated by Ten-Tails and re-harmonized and shaped by the art of Yin-Yang Release, Aloe White Zetsu has different characteristics than Senju Hashirama.
Shita Genichi and Tsunade have already cooperated very well. They worked together to dissect and observe cells.
"This guy doesn't have any human organs and is a complete vegetative state."
"But it is indeed constructed from my grandfather's cells."
Tsunade wondered, "How did this guy form?"
Of course Shita Genichi knows the true origin of White Zetsu.
He himself was a person whose physical energy was drained by God Tree, and then gradually transformed into a vegetative state White Zetsu by God Tree, and then re-deployed by Uchiha Madara using Hashirama Cells.
But some information cannot be disclosed yet, Shita Genichi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how it is formed, the key is the uniqueness of this kind of cell."
Tsunade thought for a while and nodded, then asked, "It is indeed very unique and has strong adaptability."
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you plan to transplant this cell into the body to obtain Wood Release?"
Shita Genichi shook his head. "There is no such plan yet. My idea is to cultivate organs, limbs, and clone the same vegetative person for Wood Release chakra research."
There is still a layer of separation in studying Hashirama Cells. If there is Wood Release chakra, it will be much easier to analyze Shita Genichi.
In addition.
Shita Genichi looked at Tsunade and asked, "Do you have any ideas for cell transplantation?"
"With the fusion and deployment of this plant cell and First Hokage Cells, there should be no problem in transplantation."
Tsunade hesitated upon hearing this. "This..."
