Hashirama's Cells

In the early morning, sunlight streamed onto Tsunade's face, revealing a serene and peaceful beauty!

Opening her eyes, she saw that scoundrel Su Zheng staring intently at her!

"This guy..." Tsunade's face flushed. How could the gaze of her lover in the morning not make her heart flutter!

After a while, their lips parted, as if reluctant to end their passionate embrace!

"Time to get up, lazybones!" Su Zheng said gently.

Tsunade, craving his warmth, stretched out her arms. "Hold me!"

Who could have imagined that the proud Tsunade would display such a girlish demeanor? If her two teammates saw this, their jaws would drop in shock!

At the dining table.

Tsunade sat in Su Zheng's embrace, looking at the man holding her, her heart filled with peace. This was her man!

Breakfast was finished in this manner, with one bite for him and one for her, taking a full hour.

She was even late for work, but no one dared to punish her. Her man was the Minister of the Land of Rain! Someone with more power than the Daimyo!

After Su Zheng sent Tsunade off, he returned home to tidy up the room. A blooming plum blossom declared their love for each other!

The two of them were lovey-dovey for several days until the fourth day when Konan couldn't stand it anymore!

"Sister Tsunade, please spare my brother. We haven't eaten food made by my brother for three days. We can't eat anything else!" Konan said with a frown.

After careful consideration, Tsunade agreed, and she officially moved into Su Zheng's home!

This made Konan quite angry. "Hmph! Always clinging to my brother, shameless!"

Laboratory.

The research base Su Zheng provided for Tsunade could only be used by the director.

Tsunade already knew about Su Zheng's situation – that he had secretly learned many of the Leaf Village's techniques, as well as his plans...

Tsunade fully supported him. Her eyes were now solely focused on her man!

In front of some equipment, Tsunade was extracting the original cells of her grandfather, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to help her man evolve that "ultimate" power!

She ruthlessly rejected Danzō, and naturally, she trusted her man completely, as he had told her everything!

This was the power of love!

Su Zheng put his arm around Tsunade's waist and asked, rubbing it, "How long will it take?"

Tsunade replied, "It will take about a month, but I need to monitor it constantly and it cannot be interrupted..."

A month later, in the training ground space (hereafter referred to as the Mountain River Space).

Su Zheng injected a glass tube filled with Hashirama's original cells into himself, while Tsunade watched him from a distance with worry.

After a few seconds, his body rapidly expanded, as if he had become a balloon, his veins clearly visible.

Su Zheng felt a scorching power flowing through him, as if it were burning his body. He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, the taijitu symbol spinning rapidly...

"How could I possibly fall here! I still have many loved ones waiting for me, and this world needs to be saved..."

Boom, boom, boom!

The space around Su Zheng distorted violently, and the light became chaotic!

Under the frenzied circulation of his ocular power and chakra, he heard "thump, thump, thump," the sound of his constantly beating heart...

After an unknown amount of time, Su Zheng's body returned to normal. He clenched his fist, feeling his body filled with energy...

From a distance, Tsunade's increasingly anxious heart finally relaxed. She rushed over and threw herself into his embrace!

"You rascal, I thought you were going to die..." Tsunade sobbed and hit Su Zheng, but her punches were soft and didn't hurt at all.

"It's okay, I'm fine!" Su Zheng ruffled Tsunade's hair and asked, "How many days has it been?"

"Three days!" Tsunade said softly.

"Three days? Not bad!"

Su Zheng looked at Tsunade's beautiful face and kissed her passionately...

The two of them got dressed and went to the research base outside.

Su Zheng asked, "How do we test the strength of my body?"

Tsunade leaned against Su Zheng, gave him a sideways glance, and sat down on a chair with some difficulty. She pointed to a nearby instrument and said, "Lie down in this machine, and I can get your body's energy data..."

"Okay!"

Tsunade turned on the equipment and attached many magnetic patches with wires to Su Zheng's acupoints.

An instrument with electrodes was slowly placed on Su Zheng's head.

On the screen, numbers jumped wildly, quickly exceeding 1 million...

2.5 million, 3 million, 4 million... 5 million!

The number finally settled at 5 million. Tsunade observed it for a while, confirmed there were no issues, and said, "Alright, you can get up now!"

Su Zheng, holding Tsunade in his arms, sat on the chair and stared at the screen. He asked, "What does this represent?"

"This is the numerical value of the energy within the human body made tangible. For example, a genin is 1,000, a chunin is 5,000, a jonin is... as for a Kage, it's around... of course, jinchuriki are a different story!"

"Can this energy represent combat power?" Su Zheng asked.

"Of course not. This instrument can only test physical energy, not mental energy. It can only indicate the amount of chakra in the body, indicating great potential..."

"As for combat power, many factors need to be considered. Different ninjutsu and different attack methods result in different combat powers!"

"Having immense strength but being unable to unleash it is useless! Under normal circumstances, the amount of power a person can release at one time is limited. The difference between ninja of different ranks lies here. Because they can release more power, their techniques are stronger!"

Su Zheng thought of a word and blurted it out, "Power output! Ninja of different ranks are like machines of different power outputs!"

"Yes! You can understand it that way." Tsunade looked at Su Zheng with admiration.

"Then how can I release more powerful energy in a short time? I have so much energy, it feels like a waste to just slowly 'auto-attack'," Su Zheng lamented.

"'Auto-attack'?" Tsunade looked confused.

"Uh, it's a way of describing it. Like, normal ninja ninjutsu is child's play in my eyes. This kind of..." Su Zheng felt a bit awkward, not knowing how to explain it.

Tsunade didn't suspect anything and said, "Under normal circumstances, through training, you can use tremendous power. Besides that, there's another way, but it's a taijutsu..."

"Is it the Eight Gates?"

"Yes, that's right. However, this kind of taijutsu is very damaging to the body..." Tsunade wasn't surprised that Su Zheng knew about the Eight Gates. Su Zheng had told her before that he had stolen ninjutsu from the Leaf Village, so it wasn't strange.

Su Zheng thought of another taijutsu, the "Seven-Day Breathing Method." This one had no drawbacks!

Su Zheng asked, "There's a breathing technique that can activate the body by absorbing a large amount of oxygen, thereby generating immense power and breaking through limitations!"

Tsunade cupped Su Zheng's face and said seriously, "No, you cannot practice this technique. See the diamond-shaped mark on my forehead? This is the prerequisite for the Hundred Healings Technique I created, and it has very obvious drawbacks!"

"Normally, you need to store chakra in the 'Strength of a Hundred Seal.' When you get injured, you can release the seal and activate the Creation Rebirth Technique, causing cells to proliferate continuously. Although it can heal injuries quickly, it consumes a lot of chakra and life force!"

"I forbid you from using it!" Tsunade pinched Su Zheng's nose.

Su Zheng hugged Tsunade tightly and said, "Okay!"

He could completely feel Tsunade's concern. He just didn't explain that once he took her to Ryūchi Cave to learn Sage Mode, she would understand!

Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode was very suitable for Tsunade. It was powerful and violent, utilizing the body's strength for combat, and it could also eliminate the side effects of the Hundred Healings Technique.
