Chapter 105 A tiny Hashirama cell, easily controlled!
The land of rivers, where sour grass grows in golden mountains.
A skeletal dragon swept across the sky, its massive bone wings casting dappled shadows in the setting sun.
It landed at the base entrance on the mountainside, its bony claws digging into the rocks, stirring up a fine cloud of dust.
Only Izumi returned this time.
He left one of his clones, along with Momona and Neji, in the Land of Snow, partly to oversee the construction and partly to allow the child time to adjust.
"Yakura, is there any noteworthy information in the ninja world lately?"
After landing, Izumi asked a question, but did not stop walking, heading straight into the depths of the base.
Ye Cang was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing him return, she naturally followed in his footsteps and reported back.
"Yes." Yekura's voice was clear and concise. "Konoha and Kumogakure have concluded a peace treaty, and the war in the entire ninja world has come to a complete end."
"Only between the Iwa ninja and the Kumo ninja do there occasionally some small-scale skirmishes."
"Um?
"Izumi paused slightly, gave a soft sigh, and then continued walking forward."
"Did anything happen during that time?" he asked, his tone carrying a hint of knowingness. "For example—the Hyuga clan?"
"That's right." Yecang nodded. "The Cloud Ninja envoy attempted to kidnap the successor of the Hyuga main family, but was killed by Hyuga Hiashi with a single palm strike."
"But the Cloud Ninja turned around and used this to blackmail Konoha, and in the end—Hizashi Hyuga paid for it with his life."
Izumi came to a complete stop.
He stood there, silent for a moment.
Since he defeated the Cloud Ninja squad, there has been no further action from the Cloud Ninja.
It seems the losses were too great, and they can't spare the time to continue investigating him.
Unexpectedly, the other party still didn't give up. After going around in circles, they still resorted to the same old path—kidnapping people.
Whether it was Kushina back then or Hinata Hyuga now, the Cloud Ninja have always been consistent in their approach to this matter.
Izumi sighed inwardly, both for Hizashi's fate and for the fickle nature of this world.
He didn't say anything more and started walking again.
"In addition," Yekura continued to report, "the Juzo Biwa that you asked me to keep an eye on has already joined the Akatsuki organization."
The other party was discovered during a mission.
"You've already joined?" Izumi asked with a hint of感慨 (gan3kai3, a Chinese expression of mixed feelings). "That was fast."
As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Juzo Biwa was naturally quite strong.
His temperament was different from those bloodthirsty Mist Ninjas; he was one of the few clear-headed people among the Mist Ninjas.
He also could not tolerate the Mist Village under the Blood Mist Village policy and ultimately chose to defect.
Unfortunately, his intelligence wasn't as effective as that of the Akatsuki, so it wasn't surprising that he was invited to join them.
Izumikawa snapped out of his thoughts and continued walking towards the laboratory.
"Keep an eye on the Akatsuki's intelligence," he instructed. "Also, keep an eye on the Hyuga clan's situation—keep an eye on what's coming."
He will give Neji a complete account of the facts, and how Neji chooses to proceed is up to him.
"Understood." Ye Cang replied, keeping pace with him as he disappeared into the depths of the base.
Izumikawa stepped into the laboratory.
In the large room, various culture tanks were neatly arranged, and the pale green nutrient solution rippled gently inside the tanks.
Every now and then, tiny bubbles rise from the bottom, burst on the surface of the liquid, and make a soft popping sound.
The tank contains various mutated products formed from intercolumnar cells that he has cultivated and researched over this period.
Vines, roots, branches, leaves, and nascent saplings—without exception, all mutated in the direction of plants.
Occasionally, a few cans will present different shapes, such as twisted fleshy tissue or semi-woody unidentified objects.
These were rare gains in this long experiment, accumulating a lot of valuable data for him.
Now that I've acquired the Sharingan, it's time to begin.
Hashirama cell transplantation, refining the Eight-Tails fragments.
Izumi's gaze swept over each of the jars, silently planning his next steps.
The fragments of the Eight-Tails contain immense chakra and flesh-related properties.
The regenerative and controllable abilities of flesh and blood, when used in conjunction with the Corpse Bone Vein technique, should produce some changes.
Perhaps, fusing these tailed beast chakras in reverse order could lead to a different path.
"Yakura".
Izumikawa snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Yekura, who was following behind him.
"Go and make preparations. The base in the Snow Country is under construction, and some things from here need to be moved over."
He took a scroll from his pocket and handed it over. It contained a densely packed list of items that needed to be moved.
Important experimental samples, key research data, several sets of spare instruments, and some materials that will not be needed in the short term.
At that time, he will move the more important experiments to the Land of Snow, leaving only some unimportant things here.
"Yes."
Yecang took the scroll, unrolled it, glanced at it, then put it away and turned to leave. Her footsteps quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The laboratory fell silent.
Izumi slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing his two eyes in their sockets.
His left eye was scarlet, with three tomoe slowly rotating, while his right eye was pure white, even when it was closed.
However, the Sharingan cannot be turned off at present.
The eye that was taken from Kakashi has been kept in its normal three-tomoe state, constantly consuming chakra.
The state of the Kaleidoscope can be freely controlled; it can be turned on when needed and turned off when not needed, maintaining the three-tomoe state is sufficient.
As for the Byakugan, it can be turned on and off freely, and it consumes almost no chakra when it is not open, which is completely different from the Sharingan.
Izumi sighed inwardly. This was why the Hyuga clan was coveted by all sides, while so many members of the Uchiha clan perished, yet very few received Sharingan transplants.
The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Not everyone has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and not everyone has a "Chatonra" level of chakra, so they can withstand the continuous consumption of the Sharingan.
He pulled himself out of his thoughts, slowly raised his head, and fixed his gaze on the jar of interstitial cells that had been cultured for a long time in the center of the laboratory.
"Let's begin the transplant."
Now that I have the Yin Release chakra of the Sharingan, I can suppress the almost insane Yang Release chakra of Hashirama's cells.
His own Shikotsumyaku is a bloodline limit of Yang-attribute chakra, and when combined with the Yang-attribute of Hashirama cells, the reaction will inevitably be extremely intense.
Without the Sharingan's Yin attribute to balance and suppress it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now, all the conditions are in place.
Izumi walked steadily toward the culture tank, his steps firm and his eyes showing no hesitation.
Press the button on the instrument, and the nutrient solution inside the culture tank will gently churn.
A small tube of intercolumnar cells was slowly extracted and suspended in a pale green liquid, with tiny cell clumps faintly visible floating within it.
He picked up the syringe, held it up to his eyes, and carefully examined this thing that he privately called "a peculiar phenomenon in the ninja world".
The tube walls were cool, and the liquid inside shimmered with a warm, life-like luster.
Those cells maintained amazing vitality even in the confined space, as if they were ready to break free of their constraints and proliferate wildly at any moment.
【optimization】!
His spiritual power poured out, enveloping Hashirama's cells like an invisible hand.
He carefully adjusted the cell's activity threshold, smoothing out, suppressing, and optimizing those factors that could lead to loss of control.
He had done this process countless times and was already very familiar with it.
Optimization completed.
He gently stroked the syringe, his fingertip lingering on the tube for a moment, and without any hesitation, inserted it directly into his neck and shoulder.
The needle pierces the skin, passes through the muscle layer, and precisely reaches the target location.
With a slow push of the thumb, the pale green liquid was injected into the body little by little.
He pulled out the syringe and tossed it aside. Immediately, the veins in his right eye bulged, and his white eye opened!
His vision instantly penetrated his skin, muscles, and bones, clearly capturing the flow of every strand of chakra within his body and the changes in every cell.
He could feel that once the interstitial cells entered his body, it was like being plunged into scalding magma.
The intense heat started in the neck and shoulders, spreading rapidly along the blood vessels and meridians. Wherever it passed, the blood seemed to be ignited, and the muscle fibers trembled slightly from the burning sensation.
The scalding heat, with a violent intensity that seemed to tear the body apart, spread throughout the entire body.
His breathing became slightly heavier.
【optimization】!
With his palm pressed against his chest, a powerful mental force swept over his entire body like a tidal wave.
He channeled the Yin-attribute chakra within his eyes, and the chilling power continuously emanated from that three-tomoe Sharingan.
Like a cold current, it clashes with, intertwines with, and merges with the intense heat within the body.
The scalding lava was smoothed out inch by inch, and the violent force that threatened to tear the body apart gradually subsided.
It transforms into a persistent, warm current, flowing quietly through the veins, like a hot spring surging deep underground, warm but not scorching.
The Yang-attribute chakra contained in Hashirama's cells began to gradually merge into his body.
They traveled upwards along the meridians, converging into the eyes, nourishing the scarlet Sharingan and the pure white Byakugan. Yin and Yang found balance in the eyes.
He could sense the changes.
It's not just the eyes, it's not just chakra; the body's activity is increasing, and cellular activity is being elevated layer by layer.
"That's quite impressive power."
Izumi slowly opened his eyes, adjusting to the new balance of power within his body.
He moved his body slightly, his bones making a crisp sound, and he felt a sense of fullness he had never experienced before. He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
He slowly raised his left hand, palm facing up, and light brown woody fibers emerged from under his skin.
Intertwined and entwined, a tiny bud peeks out from the palm of your hand, unfurling its emerald green leaves—the power of a tree's escape.
His right hand rose, and stark white bones extended from his fingertips, coalescing into sharp bone blades that gleamed coldly under the light—the power of the Corpse Bone Vein.
Wood and bones, plants and living things—two completely different forces.
At this moment, they coexist quietly within his body, like two parallel rivers, undisturbed yet subtly echoing each other.
Within his eyes, the three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, capturing every subtle change in light and shadow around him.
His Byakugan eyes bulged with veins, discerning the flow of chakra throughout his body.
Both eyes work simultaneously, yet there is no sense of conflict; instead, there is a strange sense of harmony.
Izumi withdrew his hands, and his Wood Release and Corpse Bone Pulse techniques dissipated simultaneously. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Even tiny interstitial cells are nothing special; they can be easily manipulated!
