The day after receiving the news of the death of the Third Raikage, the Kumo ninja retreated again, but Konoha did not continue to pursue them. Instead, they also received the news of the retreat and withdrew from the Moon Country to the Fire Country.

Along with the order to retreat, there was also an order for Hoshita Shuichi and Namikaze Minato to return to the village.

Hoshita Shuichi was not surprised by this, because since the AB combination had withdrawn from the front line, he and his teacher Namikaze Minato would no longer be needed on the Kumo ninja battlefield, and their fighting power would be overflowing.

On the way back to the village, Namikaze Minato suddenly revealed to Hoshita Shuichi: "Shuichi, after the war is over, I may succeed the position of the Fourth Hokage."

Then, seeing that Hoshita Shuichi had no expression of surprise at all, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Shuichi, you have already guessed it? You are still as sharp as ever!"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Because there is no one in Konoha who is more suitable than you, teacher."

Namikaze Minato was curious: "Why do you say that?"

"It's ok for Jiraiya-sensei and Tsunade-senpai, but Orochimaru should be quite suitable too, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Orochimaru is too obsessed with studying ninjutsu. Teacher should be able to feel that his chakra is different from before, right?"

Namikaze Minato nodded: "Indeed, it doesn't feel like a human."

Hoshita Shuichi hit the nail on the head: "If such a person who has lost his ethics and morals in order to study ninjutsu becomes Hokage, it will be a very terrible thing. It will cause the entire village to lose control and move towards an unknown place."

"Not to mention that Orochimaru has Danzo behind him."

"The Third Hokage knows Danzo better than we do. He is too tough and unscrupulous, both internally and externally."

"When they unite, no one can imagine how terrifying Konoha will be in the future."

"Of course, Orochimaru is not someone who can be controlled, and he doesn't necessarily want to be Hokage."

After listening to this, Namikaze Minato seemed to be thinking about it. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Shuichi, how do you think Orochimaru should be treated?"

"this..."

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a while before saying: "Teacher, do you know that Danzo and Orochimaru are researching the first generation of cells?"

Namikaze Minato looked serious: "I guessed a little bit, but I also guessed it from you."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said, "Although I don't know the specific situation yet, and Orochimaru said that the experiment has failed."

"But there is no doubt that it must be human experimentation."

"Using the Root as a base for human experiments, I'm afraid even hostile ninjas won't be enough. And having learned from the last experiment, Orochimaru will definitely start somewhere else."

"From the information I got from the Anbu, I'm afraid they attacked people near the village, and they were children."

Namikaze Minato's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this: "The experiment failed, doesn't it mean..."

Hoshita Shuichi was noncommittal: "Human experiments have always been like this, so whether it's studying the power of the tailed beasts or the first generation cells, I didn't use them rashly."

"But it is undeniable that Orochimaru has done very in-depth research on the first generation of cells. The failure may just be bad luck."

"What's wrong is not the experimental research, but the method and supervision."

After hearing this, Namikaze Minato already understood Hoshita Shuichi's attitude.

Hoshita Shuichi changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, do you know the Gekko Clan?"

Namikaze Minato responded quickly: "What Shuichi wants to say is that the Gekko Hayate has awakened the Bloodline limit of the Gekko Clan, but has also suffered from a bloodline disease?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Not bad."

"His condition cannot be cured even with a lung transplant, which means he needs a new lung transplant every once in a while, but obviously there are not enough lungs to replace them."

"But the primary generation of cells has this possibility. Even if it cannot cure the disease, it can make him normal."

"But the first generation of cells were too difficult to control, and Orochimaru's experiments made the impossible possible."

When facing Gekko Hayate's bloodline disease, the first solution that came to mind was human body transformation, an idea that originated from Orochimaru.

The second thing he thought of was Hashirama's cells.

Of course, it is not about implanting Hashirama's cells into Gekko Hayate, because Gekko Hayate cannot bear it.

Unless a pair of three-magatama Sharingan is transplanted into Gekko Hayate at the same time.

So instead of implanting Hashirama's cells, they weakened Hashirama's cells and mixed them with Gekko Hayate's cells, and then cultured and cloned the lungs to transplant them to Gekko Hayate.

Orochimaru has done a very good job in weakening Hashirama's cells.

As for cloning, Orochimaru's technology is unique in the ninja world.

Of course, it is not called cloning now, but cell culture.

For example, the horn of the Eight-Tail, and the tail of the Four-Tail that is being cultivated.

Namikaze Minato obviously didn't understand these studies, so Hoshita Shuichi explained them in the simplest words, including the goals of the first-generation cell research that he and Tsunade were currently conducting.

Hoshita Shuichi said this not to defend Orochimaru, but to gain support from the future Fourth Hokage.

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Don't worry, if the Third Hokage supports it, I won't object."

"If we can really develop the technology that you mentioned, Shuichi, to clone organs or even limbs, then many ninjas who have lost limbs will be able to recover and become ninjas again."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Indeed, it can also cure many diseases."

Namikaze Minato asked again: "Shuichi, the human body modification you mentioned can really solve the problem of Gekko Hayate."

Hoshita Shuichi said carefully: "It can only be a temporary solution. Give him another way to breathe and improve the function of his lungs at the same time."

His idea was to use Orochimaru's software transformation technology.

But this is just a concept at the moment, and even the most basic ideas have not been carefully thought out.

However, he learned a lot from Orochimaru , and he is confident in his human body transformation of Gekko Hayate.

The master and disciple chatted as they traveled, and only stopped when they returned to Konoha.

After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen coming out of the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Shuichi, I really hope that all your ideas can come true."

"It seems that I have to work harder next time!"

Hoshita Shuichi heard this and pretended to be serious and said, "Then you have to work harder, teacher. It's up to you to realize these ideas of your disciples."

Namikaze Minato smiled and patted Hoshita Shuichi's shoulder, admonishing him: "Come and see Kushina when you have time. She hasn't seen you for a long time."

"And I also got the jutsu you asked for. I keep it at home!"

Hoshita Shuichi said quickly: "I will go to see the master's wife tomorrow."

Namikaze Minato nodded and then disappeared.

Hoshita Shuichi also went home immediately, at this moment he was eager to go home.

He hasn't been back for half a year!

…

In Orochimaru's experimental base, Orochimaru was handling the experimental equipment while listening to Danzo's words calmly.

"Hiruzen's abdication is inevitable. When the time comes, I will propose that you take over the position of the Fourth Hokage when I meet with the Daimyo."

"However, in addition to the Daimyo's approval, it must also be voted on by the Jonin."

"Take some time to move around, especially to Jiraiya and Tsunade."

After hearing this, Orochimaru chuckled: "I don't think I'll have any strong opponents, right?"

"Minato is too young."

Danzo said, "Don't be careless."

"Once you take the position of Hokage, there will be no more obstacles to your research on those forbidden techniques and your experiments."

Orochimaru is no child.

Even as the Hokage, you can't do whatever you want.

However, there is one thing that Danzo said that is correct, and that is the forbidden techniques that Konoha treasures.

Now he can only watch secretly.

If you become Hokage, there will indeed be no restrictions.

After dealing with the experimental equipment, Orochimaru suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "I have a new idea about suppressing the power of Hashirama's cells."

Danzo immediately stopped his rambling and stared at Orochimaru: "What's the idea?"

"Do we need a large number of test subjects again?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "This time is different."

"You should know a lot about the Sharingan, right?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes: "Sharingan?"

"Is it related to the Uchiha clan?"

Orochimaru nodded: "The first generation has a strong Yang release power, and I think the only thing that can suppress the power of Hashirama's cells is the Sharingan, a bloodline limit."

"Speaking of which, it was Shuichi who reminded me and made me shift my focus to mental power, thus noticing the Uchiha clan's Sharingan."

Among the ninjas who had previously supported the Iwagakure battlefield, many were from the Uchiha clan who were transferred from the Mist battlefield. Orochimaru had observed many members of the Uchiha clan during the war.

He even witnessed the advancement of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan with his own eyes, and was deeply impressed by the cold chakra.

Danzo frowned after hearing this: "The Uchiha clan's Sharingan is more than just Yin Release."

Although he coveted the eyes of the Uchiha clan very much, and even had one on his body now, but was it a bit far-fetched to link Hashirama's cells with the eyes of the Uchiha clan?He even suspected that Orochimaru was interested in the eyes of the Uchiha clan and wanted to get them through him.

Orochimaru was full of confidence: "Sharingan is indeed more than just Yin Release, but it is dominated by Yin Release, or in other words, it is dominated by spiritual power."

"You haven't forgotten Shuichi-kun's theory, have you?"

"Besides, the mind controls the energy of the body. This is the essence of chakra!"

Danzo was convinced and nodded: "I understand, I will prepare the materials for you."

Orochimaru nodded, then reminded: "It would be best if there are ones of every level."

Danzo nodded, then turned to leave the laboratory, but stopped when he reached the door: "You should pay more attention to the position of Hokage, and don't be careless!"

Orochimaru nodded calmly: "Don't worry, I understand."

…

After taking a comfortable bath, Hoshita Shuichi felt refreshed and felt like he was alive again.

At this time, Asuka was already busy in the kitchen.

After drying his hair, Hoshita Shuichi leaned against the door and looked at Asuka who was busy in her floral dress and apron. He smiled and said, "I haven't eaten Asuka's cooking for a long time. I must eat my fill this time."

Asuka turned around and smiled happily: "Then I'll do more."

"Then go call Nono-nee to come back and eat together!"

Yakushi Nono and Shizune also returned from the front line, and Hoshita Shuichi could sense their chakra.

After chatting with Asuka for a few more words, Hoshita Shuichi took a stroll around the Konoha Hospital. After making an appointment with Yakushi Nono and Shizune to have dinner together, he went to the experimental base.

Tsunade is here indeed.

However, when Tsunade looked up and saw Hoshita Shuichi who was taller than her, she was stunned: How come this kid is so tall?

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Hoshita Shuichi was very proud: "Tsunade-sama, what, don't you recognize me?"

Tsunade snorted coldly and said venomously: "I thought you would die on the battlefield. You love to show off so much!"

Hoshita Shuichi came to Tsunade, picked up the necklace around his neck and shook it: "I have the blessing of Princess Tsunade, how could I die so easily on the battlefield?"

Tsunade glanced at him and said coldly: "I heard that the tailed beasts are to be returned, but you will still die."

"After three years, have you become overconfident?"

"How dare you promise something you haven't done?"

Hoshita Shuichi was full of confidence: "It shouldn't take three years!"

"I have mastered the art of spiritualization, and based on it, I have developed a spiritual clone."

"In addition, I also mastered the sealing technique of Shiki Fuujin and created the sealing technique of Netherworld Fire Chain."

"The next step is to seal the soul based on the Netherworld Fire Chain, and then we can split the tailed beast."

Tsunade frowned as she listened.

Hoshita Shuichi continued: "Besides, even if I fail to complete this sealing technique, I still have a way."

"Tsunade-Sama , you won't forget the Eight-Tails we are nurturing, right?"

"When the time comes, implant the Eight-Tails Horn into the body, which will be enough to maintain the vitality of the tailed beast after it is extracted."

Of course he wouldn't say that he wanted to eat the Eight-Tailed Horn raw, after all, that sounded a bit perverted.

Tsunade relaxed her brows and snorted softly, "As long as you know your limits."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately smiled and changed the subject: "How is the first generation's cell research going?"

Tsunade smiled and said, "Not bad, Orochimaru's research is very in-depth."

"So far, I have been able to weaken the activity of my grandfather's cells, but it is still a bit difficult for us to do this."

Hoshita Shuichi encouraged: "If you take this step, success will not be far away."

Tsunade nodded, then said, "The previous experimental data has been sorted out, you can go get it yourself."

"I have also kept the cultivated samples in a place you know."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, then turned and left the laboratory, but did not immediately look at the information on Hashirama's cells. Instead, he came to the Tailed Beast Cell Cultivation Room.

This is where the Four-Tails and the Eight-Tails were bred.

The Eight-Tails' horn was based on the foundation of Orochimaru's previous work and was already as tall as a person.

And the four-tailed beast's tail is as long as an arm.

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "There's no need to eat it all now, right?"

I haven't caught the Four-Tails before, so I thought about eating a whole tail of the Four-Tails to increase the chakra limit of the small Four-Tails.

However, it will not be wasted after being cultivated. Part of the tailed beast's body is still very useful for experiments.

For example, cloning experiments, or directed cloning experiments!

Thinking of this, Hoshita Shuichi took out the Eight-Tails Horn from the culture vessel and then injected the Eight-Tails Chakra into it.

Sure enough, the Eight-Tails' horn grew rapidly after absorbing the Eight-Tails' chakra.

When almost one tenth of the Eight-Tails' chakra was consumed by Hoshita Shuichi, the Eight-Tails' horn finally stopped growing, but it also reached its complete state!"I'll come secretly to eat it at night..."

"Forget it, let's eat something now."

Hoshita Shuichi drew out the Ame-no-Mura sword and cut off a small piece from the top of the Eight-Tails' horn.

After putting away the sword, Hoshita Shuichi opened and moved his mouth, then closed his eyes and bit down.

Crunchy!

Huh?

It doesn't seem that bad, does it?
