Shita Genichi suddenly appeared in the underground Experimental Base next to Konoha Hospital.
As the scope of research expanded and Tsunade became Hokage, the laboratory at Konoha Hospital was no longer suitable.
Therefore, this more secretive underground Experimental Base was built.
Several live experimental subjects were transferred here.
To get the White Zetsu out, the only option is to imprison them here.
Upon arriving at a laboratory specializing in the research of White Zetsu, two Shadow Clone were busy at work.
The Shadow Clone merely glanced up before continuing with its work.
Shita Genichi.
After becoming Hokage, Tsunade never came to the laboratory again.
Now that Uzumaki Ina and Shizune are also helping out in the Hokage Office, there are two fewer assistants.
If only there were Kotoamatsukami, it would be perfect to just give White Zetsu a shot.
This is also why Shita Genichi hadn't been able to force the spores out of his body before.
There's not much difference between living and dead White Zetsu White Zetsu when it comes to studying them.
Those who are alive must be kept in special custody to prevent them from escaping.
So it's left inside the body, and you can take it out when you need it.
The progress of Sage Mode is going unexpectedly smoothly, so we have to release it for now to avoid affecting the cultivation of Sage Mode.
As for how to force out the White Zetsu spore clones, it's very simple.
Shita Genichi directly drew out the Nine-Tails Chakra from the seal, and the next moment, White Zetsu spores were stimulated by the Nine-Tails ' life-giving chakra and emerged from Shita Genichi's body.
How did you know we existed?
One of the White Zetsu was terrified.
There were four Spore White Zetsu in total. The Nine-Tails Chakra directly prevented them from maintaining their spore form. After absorbing the Nine-Tails Chakra, they grew into the Perfect Form of White Zetsu.
Upon landing, he immediately began to burrow into the ground.
Unfortunately, the Experimental Base was specially constructed and there was no way to burrow underground.
Shita Genichi, and the four White Zetsu were frozen in place.
"Why were they released?"
The busy Shadow Clone stopped and asked curiously.
Under the Shita Genichi, "We have already sensed Natural Energy."
"Keep these four guys locked up; they'll be useful later."
"Hmm, we can implant some Hashirama Cells into them to enhance their strength first."
The Shadow Clone nodded, and then the two Shadow Clone each grabbed one of the White Zetsu and dragged them away.
To be honest, for Shita Genichi, these four White Zetsu were a godsend.
For example, Spirit Transformation Technique, Primordial Spirit Technique, Impure World Reincarnation, and Dead Demon Consuming Seal can all be used.
After releasing the White Zetsu, Shita Genichi Body Flicker Technique returned home from under the tree.
" Ina, Kurenai?"
Looking at the two women in the living room, Shita Genichi little confused.
When did these two become friends?
" Genichi!"
Uzumaki Ina and Yuhi Kurenai stopped talking and stood up together.
Shita Genichi glanced at the scroll on the table. "Are you discussing Genjutsu?"
Yuhi Kurenai quickly replied, "I asked Ina for advice!"
Uzumaki Ina smiled and said, "Kurena came looking for you, but you weren't there, so I discussed my thoughts on Genjutsu with her."
Yuhi Kurenai exclaimed in admiration, "I never imagined Ina's Genjutsu were so powerful!"
Indeed, from their conversation just now, she was completely convinced that Uzumaki Ina's skill in Genjutsu surpassed hers.
This is truly amazing!
Shita Genichi this.
He taught Uzumaki Ina without holding anything back.
"Then you can continue."
As he spoke, Shita Genichi.
Uzumaki Ina quickly said, " Genichi, I still need to go to the Lord Hokage. You can take Kurenai!"
He ran off as soon as he finished speaking.
Yuhi Kurenai was a little embarrassed, her face flushing red. She quickly said, " Genichi, if you're busy, I'll come again next time."
Ina is getting more and more mischievous.
Shita Genichi felt a little helpless, but he said to Yuhi Kurenai, "No need, you can use Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Yuhi Kurenai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had gotten used to asking Shita Genichi for advice, but Uzumaki Ina's behavior just now gave her the feeling that she had been seen through.
However, she is not the type of person who gives up or runs away easily.
He left a clone behind to continue teaching Yuhi Kurenai, Shita Genichi himself leaped onto the roof of his house.
Being pursued by someone definitely doesn't feel bad.
But spiritual practice cannot stop; it is more important than women.
The strong will never lack women, while the weak will never get any, no matter how much they beg.
This has been true throughout history and across all worlds.
Creating another clone just in case, Shita Genichi then sat down cross-legged under the tree, lowered his eyes, and began his true Sage Mode cultivation.
The cultivation of Sage Mode is very difficult; the first step alone, sensing Natural Energy, has already stopped many people.
For example, Tsunade couldn't even do the first step.
Of course, there is another major prerequisite: a sufficient amount of chakra.
Compared to the vast Natural Energy, the human body is insignificant.
If one's own strength is insufficient, absorbing only a small amount of Natural Energy will cause an overload, leading to assimilation by the Natural Energy.
If you put it on Mount Myoboku, it will turn you into Toad and petrify.
Placing it in the Shikkotsu Forest would make it a plant.
Orochimaru's failure in training at Ryūchi Cave was likely due to his failure in the very first step.
Therefore, through Jugo's research, he developed the Cursed Seal, gaining the power of Senjutsu in another way.
Jugo's Sage Transformation, where his cells directly absorb Natural Energy and then go berserk, which is actually different from Naruto ' Sage Mode.
Now, Shita Genichi has two choices in mind.
Firstly, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and others use the Sage Mode, which involves refining spiritual energy, physical energy, and Natural Energy into Senjutsu Chakra in equal proportions.
This is what is known as Sage Mode.
Second, the Sage Transformation of the Katsuyu Sage in the Shikkotsu Forest is a mode in which cells directly absorb Natural Energy, thus achieving Sage Transformation.
Shita Genichi didn't know the situation at Mount Myoboku or Ryūchi Cave, but he suspected that Gamamaru, Gamabunta, and the other Toad were using Sage Transformation.
This is evident from its rapidly increasing size.
And then there's the long lifespan of the three great immortals... Sage Mode doesn't offer that kind of advantage.
The information about the Shikkotsu Forest Sage's Sage Transformation in Katsuyu Sage Forest comes from the Senjutsu data left by Senju Hashirama.
"It's hard to say which of these two methods is better or worse, but in terms of difficulty and danger, the Sage Mode is simpler and relatively less dangerous."
Shita Genichi, lost in thought.
Having passed the hurdle of sensing Natural Energy in Sage Mode, the most dangerous aspect is controlling this Natural Energy without losing control.
Therefore, Shita Genichi left a clone under the tree to disperse the absorbed Natural Energy if he failed to control it properly, thus preventing it from being assimilated.
However, if one follows the path of Sage Transformation, where cells directly absorb Natural Energy, and if not properly controlled, one might Jugo, going berserk.
"Let's start with Sage Mode. As for Sage Transformation, I can use Senjutsu Chakra to nourish my cells, allowing them to gradually adapt to the forces of nature..."
After careful consideration, Shita Genichi his eyes and officially began his cultivation under the tree.
After closing your eyes and clearing your mind of all distractions, you will perceive that the world is filled with colorful Natural Energy.
Shita Genichi carefully absorbed this energy, just like breathing.
Something very mysterious.
But he possesses the Zhe Secret Technique), allowing him to freely access the spiritual energy of all things.
Threads of Natural Energy enter the body.
Once Natural Energy enters the human body, it immediately combines with the physical body to influence it.
When Natural Energy is scarce, its effects are negligible. However, once the amount becomes excessive, Natural Energy acts like an invading force, altering the body's original system and destroying its independence.
And that's how the rampage happened.
Shita Genichi could feel something hidden within him stirring, such as various emotions that he usually suppressed, which were being stimulated as Natural Energy entered his body.
Furthermore, body cells and genes are also influenced by Natural Energy.
Shita Genichi's current task is to suppress these negative influences, control these Natural Energy, and combine them with his physical and mental energy to form Senjutsu Chakra.
Time passed little by little.
The afternoon passed quickly, and it got dark.
Yuhi Kurenai took her leave, but after walking a short distance, she couldn't help but turn back and see Shita Genichi under the tree on the roof. Then, filled with doubt and curiosity, she left.
As night fell, Shita Genichi on the rooftop, suddenly opened his eyes.
The clone watching from the side couldn't help but ask, "Did it fail?"
Shita Genichi smiled, "No, it worked!"
" Sage Mode isn't as difficult as I imagined!"
The Shadow Clone was stunned, looking at the main body's face. "It's done?"
Shita Genichi: "It's done!"
The Shadow Clone asked in confusion, "Why don't you have a mask?"
Under the Shita Genichi spread his hands. "Does the Sage of Six Paths have a mask?"
The Shadow Clone rolled its eyes. "You're comparing yourself to the Sage of Six Paths?"
Shita Genichi immediately dispelled his clone.
How dare a mere clone argue with the main body?
In Sage Mode, the fewer changes occur to the body, the more perfect the control over Natural Energy and Senjutsu Power.
In this respect, Minato Naruto even surpassed the First Hokage.
Shita Genichi has not changed at all, which means that his control over Natural Energy and Senjutsu Chakra has reached an astonishing level.
"My understanding of chakra is extremely profound!"
Shita Genichi did not believe that he was inferior to the Sage of Six Paths.
The worst thing a person can do is to belittle the present and value the past.
Of course, the Sage of Six Paths only took half a day to cultivate Sage Mode.
Although it seems like half a day has passed without any action, Shita Genichi has actually spent a considerable amount of time sensing Natural Energy.
" With Sage Mode and the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode which I can use for quite a while, I should be able to fight Uchiha Madara head-on now, right?"
Standing under the Shita Genichi couldn't help but look in the direction of the Graveyard Mountains.
He was starting to get restless.
But has Uchiha Madara removed yet?
" Genichi!"
Suddenly, Uzumaki Ina appeared on the roof. " The Lord Hokage has something urgent to discuss with you!"
"Urgent?"
Shita Genichi snapped out of his daze, grabbed Uzumaki Ina, and appeared in the Hokage Office.
"Hey, Minato- nii, Kushina- neechan, you're here too!"
Shita Genichi slightly surprised, then his gaze settled on Uzumaki Kushina's stomach.
"Hahaha, I knew it! Genichi would definitely guess it right away!"
Uzumaki Kushina laughed loudly.
Tsunade complained, " Ina, you didn't secretly tell this guy, did you?"
Uzumaki Ina quickly shook her head.
She wanted to give a hint, but it wasn't time.
As expected!
Moreover, this timeframe has been significantly shortened.
Uchiha Sasuke hasn't made a move yet!
A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind, Shita Genichi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Minato- nii Kushina- neechan!"
"Thanks."
Namikaze Minato smiled and thanked him.
He was very happy to be becoming a father.
However, there are also concerns, after all, Uzumaki Kushina is Jinchūriki.
Tsunade also put away her playful mood and said solemnly, " Genichi, you know that the seal weakens when Jinchūriki gives birth, right?"
Shita Genichi: "You're worried about Uchiha Madara, aren't you?"
Namikaze Minato said in a deep voice, " The White Zetsu I mentioned before seems to have an astonishing intelligence-gathering ability."
" Kushina sensed it before using her Malice Perception, so it seems the news of Kushina's pregnancy can't be kept secret now, can it?"
Tsunade said, "It's very difficult to completely block information about these kinds of things."
"Right now, we can only consider whether we can preserve the information about the delivery date."
Shita Genichi: "It's difficult."
"The enemy doesn't necessarily need to know the date of Kushina's delivery; they can glean a lot of intelligence simply by monitoring Konoha's movements."
Uzumaki Ina suggested, "Could we make arrangements in advance to confuse the enemy and make them launch their attack earlier?"
Shita Genichi shook his head. "We still need to use Kushina as bait; it's very dangerous."
"Because no one was confident they could stop him."
Namikaze Minato nodded. "The initiative is not with us."
Uzumaki Kushina laughed heartily, "That Uchiha Madara guy might not even come!"
Namikaze Minato immediately smiled, "While there's no absolutely safe method, I can protect you and the child!"
Even if it costs me my life!
Tsunade frowned, feeling irritated.
We're too passive!
She didn't like this feeling.
Neither Uzumaki Ina nor Shizune were happy.
Sensing the somber atmosphere in the office, Shita Genichi chuckled and said, "Actually, there are still quite a few solutions."
Everyone turned to look at him.
Shita Genichi: "Let's assume Uchiha Madara came for the Nine-Tails, then..."
"Let's prepare for the worst."
"Assuming that the Nine-Tails will be taken by Uchiha Madara, after all, he once controlled the Nine-Tails and possesses strength comparable to the First Hokage."
"Then we can just split the Nine-Tails beforehand."
segmentation?
Everyone was filled with confusion.
Namikaze Minato reacted the fastest. " Genichi, you mean... the Dead Demon Consuming Seal technique?"
Uzumaki Ina's expression changed. "This technique requires sacrificing one's life to cast, right?!"
Tsunade immediately shouted, "No!"
Shita Genichi helplessly, "Can you let me finish speaking first?"
"It is indeed the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. This is the only technique I can think of to separate the Nine-Tails."
"However, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal does indeed require the caster's life as the price, but I am an exception."
Uzumaki Kushina asked in surprise, " Genichi, you've found a way to break this technique?"
She remembered that Shita Genichi had mentioned wanting to resolve the side effects of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Shita Genichi and then shook his head. "I have indeed found a way to undo the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, but it will still cost me my life."
"So, I've come up with another method."
" Spirit Transformation Technique!"
Tsunade was stunned.
Namikaze Minato, with his exceptional sensitivity to techniques, immediately grasped Shita Genichi's intentions. "To manipulate others through the Spirit Transformation Technique to cast the Reaper Death Seal?"
"But, if we want to split the Nine-Tails, can it be done within Sealing Jutsu?"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Tsunade had regained her senses and said in a deep voice, "If Jinchūriki has their Tailed Beast extracted, they will definitely die!"
Shita Genichi smiled and said, "No."
"Given Kushina's constitution, she won't die immediately."
"In reality, if Jinchūriki has their Tailed Beast extracted, they'll be fine as long as it's resealed."
Tsunade and the others were stunned.
They didn't know that.
Namikaze Minato asked excitedly, " Genichi, is this information accurate?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "I'm absolutely certain."
"Don't forget, I'm actually Jinchūriki in a way."
"Moreover, this can be verified by the Nine-Tails."
Uzumaki Kushina quickly replied, "I'll go ask right away."
Namikaze Minato warned, "Try to bluff it!"
Uzumaki Kushina's red hair immediately flew up, and she put her hands on her hips. " Minato, do you think I'm stupid?"
Namikaze Minato chuckled awkwardly, "Um, of course not, I was just too nervous."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere immediately improved.
Uzumaki Kushina lowered her eyes, but quickly opened them again, smiling, " Genichi was right after all."
"That Nine-Tails was really surprised when I told him!"
Tsunade crossed her arms. "Then, there's only one question left."
" Genichi, is your method feasible? Using the Spirit Transformation Technique to control others to cast the Dead Demon Consuming Seal Technique?"
Shita Genichi was confident and smiled, "Theoretically, it's feasible, because in terms of chakra, it's not using mine."
"Actually, it can be done with Shadow Secret Technique, but the precision isn't as high, and it's difficult to control."
Snake Auntie can exploit bugs, so can he.
Tsunade said, "You haven't used it before either, have you?"
"Can we try it first?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "No problem."
He then Hand Seals: Summoning Technique!
Bang!
A White Zetsu was summoned.
One of the Spore White Zetsu, of course, it has been enhanced.
For White Zetsu, injecting Hashirama Cells is a simple task; an afternoon is enough to complete it.
" Ina!"
Shita Genichi.
Uzumaki Ina immediately used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the White Zetsu.
White Zetsu said helplessly, "Speaking of which, I'm currently sealed away!"
Shita Genichi released the seal on White Zetsu, and then the Primordial Spirit stepped out from within the Yin Seal.
Tsunade looked on with some confusion. "Is this Spirit Transformation Technique?"
"No, I call it the Primordial Spirit, a modified one."
Shita Genichi.
Tsunade exclaimed in surprise, "Your body can still move!"
The one who just spoke was none other Shita Genichi's physical body.
"Able to maintain basic operations."
Shita Genichi said.
The Primordial Spirit had already entered White Zetsu White Zetsu's body and taken control of it.
Uzumaki Ina also withdrew the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
The next moment, White Zetsu Hand Seals and finally clasped his hands together.
Immediately, the phantom of the Death God Reaper appeared above and behind White Zetsu.
But soon the phantom of the Death God Reaper disappeared, the spell was dispelled, Shita Genichi's Primordial Spirit returned to his body.
"It really works."
Shita Genichi smiled and said, "It locks on through chakra, so it won't lock onto my soul."
Namikaze Minato asked doubtfully, "Then how do we undo this technique?"
After all, if Nine-Tails Nine-Tails Dead Demon Consuming Seal, it will be sealed inside the Death God's belly.
