Obtaining the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai
Wood Release, a secret technique developed by Hashirama Senju, possesses power far exceeding any other Kekkei Genkai. Moreover, this power originates from the God Tree and transcends ordinary Chakra.
Aside from the powerful Wood Release, if Long Ye obtained the cells, he could use them to modify his physique, transforming his previously unsuitable aptitude into a leapfrog improvement.
He was absolutely certain that Madara Uchiha possessed these cells.
This can be glimpsed from the fact that he used his own cultured cells to repair Obito's body in the past.
The thought flashed through my mind.
He looked troubled when faced with Madara Uchiha's words.
"If you have any difficulties, just say so. From now on, you will work for me, and I will never treat you unfairly."
Madara Uchiha, being old and shrewd, could tell at a glance that he was hesitant to speak and knew that he must have something on his mind.
"The leader said he would teach me Ninjutsu, which touched me deeply, but to be honest, my aptitude is quite poor. So far, apart from possessing the Explosion Release technique, I've only learned three other Ninjutsu..."
"It's not that I don't want to learn, but because of my aptitude, learning a Ninjutsu takes ten times longer than for an ordinary person. Compared to ordinary people, the gap is even more insurmountable compared to geniuses."
Madara Uchiha smiled slightly.
"I am well aware of your potential, so as the first step, I will perform preliminary modifications to your body, giving you a complete transformation."
Long Ye was stunned.
"What is the leader's method?"
Madara Uchiha did not answer, but reached behind him to grab something.
A halo of light instantly flew out of the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Long Ye's eyes widened. It was a bubble-like thing, and inside the bubble was something like spores.
"Could this be...?"
My heart pounded in the dim light of the Long Ye.
One moment he was eyeing the "Hashirama Cells," but unexpectedly, the other party took them out themselves the next moment.
What he thought he would have to go through so much trouble to obtain, suddenly became readily available. Instead of exciting Long Ye, it made him wary.
Because this doesn't make sense.
This Madara Uchiha is no benevolent person; he's a born schemer. Why would he give him so many benefits without fully understanding him? Isn't he afraid Madara will turn his back on him after leaving?
"Could this person have some backup plan?"
Long Ye felt uneasy.
At this moment, Madara Uchiha had already taken the cultured cell cluster into his hand.
"This was cultivated using Hashirama Senju's cells with the help of the Geisha, increasing their activity. Once the transplant is successful, my body will undergo a dramatic transformation..."
"Of course, there are also drawbacks. Because cell rejection is extremely severe, it is almost a global problem in Medical Ninjutsu. Therefore, a portion of the cell's power must be sacrificed for the transplant to be successful."
Long Ye's heart sank upon hearing this, and she asked, "Sacrificed a portion? So, what was sacrificed was the First Hokage's Wood Release power within the cells?"
He was already beginning to grieve in his heart.
Cell Transplantation is indeed an impossible task for ordinary medical-nin, but he possesses Devil Fruit abilities and can rely on these abilities to forcibly promote fusion, so there is no issue of rejection.
Madara Uchiha said, "That's right! But the sacrifice I'm talking about isn't abandonment, but rather turning this power into a latent form. To put it more bluntly, it's hidden away. The power is still there, and only a high degree of cellular compatibility can reawaken it..."
Long Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
The series of twists and turns left him feeling extremely anxious.
According to what the other party said, he had a real chance to use the Devil Fruit Power to achieve a perfect fit between his cells and his body, thereby Awakening the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
The transplantation process is not complicated. A small incision is made in the body, cells are placed inside, and then no further intervention is required.
But Long Ye was an exception. After the cells entered his body, he used the Devil Fruit Power to promote rapid cell fusion.
For the average person, it takes at least several months from cell transplantation to the completion of body modification.
However, Long Ye had the aid of Devil Fruit Power, which was like a car engine crashing into an oxcart; the speed of the fusion far exceeded Madara Uchiha's imagination.
About ten minutes had passed.
Long Ye slowly woke up amidst Madara Uchiha's "horrified" gaze.
At that moment, Madara Uchiha looked at him as if he were a monster.
When Long Ye woke up, she felt an inexplicable power coursing through her body, and her physical attributes improved exponentially. Both her physical strength and the total amount of Chakra in her body had increased by at least several times.
"That's insane!"
"The Senju Clan, as expected of descendants of Ashura, have transformed my body so abnormally with just a cluster of cells. Wouldn't the bodies of the true Senju Clan be extremely abnormal?"
He suddenly thought of Tsunade; her Unmatched Strength was indeed not something she had acquired for nothing.
"You... you actually Awakening Wood Release?"
Madara Uchiha's surprised voice rang out.
He had lived so long that there was almost nothing in the world that could surprise him anymore.
But today, he witnessed all sorts of unbelievable things from this uninvited young man that he had never seen before.
He learned for the first time that Medical Ninjutsu also had Kekkei Genkai, and this kid had completed cell modification in an extremely short time.
Most remarkably, this person, like him, had also Awakening the Wood Release Chakra within their cells.
Long Ye didn't practice Wood Release Ninjutsu, so he couldn't use Wood Release Chakra. Madara Uchiha was able to know that he Awakening the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, which was naturally thanks to the Rinnegan.
Suppressing her inner elation, Long Ye replied, "Perhaps this is related to the Kekkei Genkai I possess?"
The Kekkei Genkai he mentioned was naturally his Devil Fruit Power.
"Good! It seems your physique far exceeds my expectations. Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, Medical Kekkei Genkai, and now Wood Release Kekkei Genkai —one person possessing three Kekkei Genkai is truly astonishing."
Madara Uchiha appeared very happy, looking at Long Ye as if she were a perfect, divine weapon.
"Huh? What's this?"
Long Ye opened his chest and found a strange seal on his heart.
This made his heart sink, realizing he had fallen victim to a sneak attack.
But he couldn't appear too nervous, so he just asked, seemingly a little puzzled.
Just now, he inexplicably felt a little uneasy, as if something was blocking his heart, which is why he took this look.
"Don't worry! It won't hurt you. It'll just prevent you from doing something foolish if necessary. As long as you follow our plan step by step, it will never come into play."
Hearing Madara Uchiha's words, Long Ye nodded with a smile, but inwardly she was cursing wildly:
"Madara Uchiha, you are indeed cunning and shrewd. I still couldn't outsmart you and ended up being tricked by you."
He looked at the face before him, cursing inwardly.
But every gain has its loss; his body was transformed, and he was freed from his useless physique.
Not only that, he also obtained a powerful Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
But in gaining these benefits, the other party also planted a time bomb within themselves, which can be considered a price to be paid.
