Never too strong

When Orochimaru asked me just how much of Hashirama's cells i wanted to try mixing with i was a little confused, it seemed that the snake had much more of Hashirama's cells on hand than i originally thought. It makes sense he would be for the lack of a better term, stacked on cells, after all you cant experiment on so many people using his cells without having somewhat of a surplus of them.

The decision was hard of course. Would I risk it all after just being sent to this world for power I would eventually gain by myself or would I take it easy and only use a small amount of the cells, Madara himself did not need too much of Hashirama's skin to take himself to the next level however it was obvious that my current power compared to his wouldn't even be in the same league. He would squash me like a bug.

Considering the situation wasn't really meant for waiting I answered and I answered fast, pump as much into me as you possibly can.

(A/N: Super pause)

The procedure? why even try to explain, it was filled with so many complicated steps that I would rather not even have to explain it, leave the science to the scientists like someone has told me once before I'm sure.

Pain was all I felt coursing through every cell in my body....literally I mean it was like getting stabbed by a shit ton of needles everywhere you could possibly think, Being a sensory ninja didn't help while the hashirama cells where attempting to completely overtake my body, of course it didn't happen and instead it was a full on tug o war between my Uzumaki cells and the Hashirama cells.

Slowly but surely it seemed that the pain was dying down, unknowingly to me the Uzumaki cells and the Hashirama cells seemed to be mixing quite well, must be because at their roots the Uzumaki and the Senju are both descendants of Ashura not to mention the potency both cells contain individually. All of this ended in a single great results, after almost an hour of agonizing screams and pain the cells had finally mixed and met to an equilibrium.

"Fascinating, perhaps the reason previous test subjects failed were because of the nature of their weaker cells being overtaken by Hashirama cells." Orochimaru looked at the 'specimen' laying on the bed of experiments.

He gave out a sigh "Unfortunately for me there aren't many clans like the Uzumaki who can take these cells into their bodies without being completely destroyed, my quest for immortality brings me more and more surprises everyday"

After a few more minutes Rengoku himself finally began to wake up and stood up from the table causing many needles to forcefully retract from his skin. "That was the worst pain I have ever been through in my life" He looked at his hands and clenched them seemingly trying to get a feel for his own strength, Hashirama cells enhance almost everything about a shinobi to a large degree yes, they were that overpowered.

"Catch this, Rengoku-kun" Orochimaru gave out his signature smile and tossed a scroll towards Rengoku who caught it and opened it immediately "Orochimaru being nice? this can't be for free" Rengoku responded to the seemingly kind gesture

"Contrary to popular belief I am not a complete monster" yes it seemed to Rengoku that Orochimaru had not deviated completely like in the original timeline, this was good, he could be extremely useful to the future events including the upcoming war.

'I really hope that this timeline deviates at least slightly in my favor for this it would be a real pain having to deal with Orochimaru and the Nine Tails attack a few years from now. I have no doubt that Minato and Kushina will follow the original and have baby Naruto' Ren smiled at the thought but also had an idea of his own

'perhaps I should try and make my own kid, so he can keep Naruto company... well we'll see how that goes no need to rush for a big decision like that'

"Thank you Orochimaru, i really hope that we can continue this partnership most of all i hope you can be of help to the Leaf just as you mostly have been"

"Worry not Rengoku-kun...the Leaf is still very useful for me" Orochimaru responded

"I see, well then i'll be on my way, do contact me to fulfill those favors soon" to this Orochimaru nodded and he watched as Rengoku left 'time to find a new place for a lab' Thought Orochimaru before shaking his head.

~Elsewhere now~

I could feel the power coursing through my body. With Hashirama's cells my chakra had gone up in volume and quality at the same time while also granting me a huge boon, Mokuton of course. Trying Mokuton inside the village would be way too dangerous so of course I will travel outside on a mission or something else.

"What is it that you need Mr.anbu?" Ren said stopping in place and turning to the tree next to him.

"Lord Hokage has called for you Lord Uzumaki" The Anbu left in a flash leaving Ren to his own thoughts.

'Lord Uzumaki.... yes I like the sound of that' Ren grinned while making his way to the Hokage office.

~Hokage Office~

Knock Knock

"Enter"

"Ah Minato-san, I heard you wanted to see me" Ren greeted Minato with a smile on his face.

"Yes Ren-san, as you know I have rather ignored the rules and assigned you the Jonin position which you deserve however I was met with resistance by the elders and well I have a mission that could use an Uzumaki" Minato gestured at a seat in front of his desk and sat down on his own seat.

Ren sat down on the seat and clapped his hands together "Che, it seems I forgot to mention to you Minato-san that I am actually a great sensory ninja"

Minato stopped for a second before giving a sigh of relief "Great, then that means this mission I am about to send you on could possibly go even smoother" The atmosphere took a turn from happy and normal to very serious quick.

"Hatake Sakumo, a Jonin of our village and one of our strongest ninja has not reported back in a few hours. Normally this would not be a problem however the details of the mission are delicate and he was informed to report back every few hours so we know he isn't at deaths door"

Ren nodded and laid back on the chair using his hands as a sort of pillow "That is certainly an issue, so you want me to go and see if everything is running smoothly and report back as fast as possible?"

Minato nods and continues "Rengoku Uzumaki, your mission is to return with news about Hatake Sakumo as early as possible. Due to the nature of the mission and is danger this will be classified as an A rank mission with S rank potential danger, here is a file with more information on the mission"

Ren grabbed the file "I'll be back with some good news Minato-san"

~Rengoku's home~

Troublesome, Hatake Sakumo who is supposed to commit suicide because of Danzo's plot and now it is my mission to save his ass. Well Kakashi i guess in the future you will thank me for saving your pops.
