Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 121 Intercolumnar Cells
Naoki's forbearance has finally blossomed and borne fruit in the painful physical practice.

If he opened the seven gates, with his continuous combat capability, he could even wipe out some small countries.

It's just that the pain he experienced during his practice, Gaia just thought of it as purgatory torture.

It is a belief that Gaia cannot understand, and it is supporting the rope tree to persevere.

In this world, there really are such people...

But belief belongs to belief, and some realities cannot be changed at all.

According to Gaia's estimates, the rope tree can live for up to ten years in its current condition.

26 seven, in fact, should be the peak moment of a ninja, but for Zhishu, it is the end of his life.

"I've already died once, and living one more day is a gift to me."

Rope Tree has no choice, as this anomaly has become a normal situation.

Gaia explained to Tsunade what happened inside the rope tree, and Tsunade burst into tears when she heard the pain her brother had suffered in the past few years.

She is a medical ninja, so she naturally knows how painful that kind of injury is.

But his younger brother gritted his teeth and persisted without saying a word.

……

After seeing such a tenacious ninja, Tsunade had no reason to let Naoki stay. However, before leaving, she took some blood samples and flesh and blood tissue from Naoki and asked Gaia to find a solution.

The sample I dreamed of, just got it like this?Gaia himself was a little surprised.

But now he doesn't just want to study that active factor, he also wants to find a way for the rope tree to survive.

When Orochimaru learned about the abnormality in Nakoki from Gaia, he, who was always curious about the unknown, was silent at this moment.

Gaia was keenly aware of the abnormality.

"Do you know something?"

Orochimaru didn't answer directly, but shook his head and said: "It's not sure yet, we have to look at the performance of the cells first..."

The two put down the important things in their hands and began to study the cells of the rope tree.

It is finally confirmed that the flesh and blood tissue of the rope tree can almost assimilate and phagocytize the cells of any organism under a suitable environment and nutrient supply.

Human or not.

However, when Gaia continuously stimulated cell division with the power of transformation, after more than 20 divisions, the cells began to show the characteristics of aging, and then gradually died out in the subsequent several divisions.

"So, if you combine the cells of the rope tree with your longevity factor, is it possible for the rope tree to solve the problem of lifespan?"

The solution proposed by Orochimaru is the most likely solution at present. If the cells of the rope trees can have the characteristics of unlimited proliferation, and make them controllable... a monster will appear in this ninja world.

If it is a normal world, the body must have limits, but this world itself is a super world with great power added to the body.

If the physical strength grows infinitely, Naoki will one day reach the point of breaking stars with one punch.

A monster that never grows old and never dies.

But thinking of this possibility, Gaia was terrified for a while... Who can stop such a person?

However, it is still too early to talk about this problem, because the hidden danger of the longevity factor has not been solved at all. Gaia is now trying to reduce the substance similar to telomerase to see if it can inhibit the infinite proliferation.

However, the cell samples of rope trees are limited, which simply cannot support them to carry out so many studies.

If the situation is explained, it will be exposed that the two of them are conducting some special experiments.

Gaia explained her concerns, but Orochimaru said directly: "Don't worry, I have better samples."

"Better?" Gaia obviously didn't understand what it meant.

"Yes, better." This is something Orochimaru has never told Gaia.

After all, even Danzo would not dare to conduct related experiments easily when it comes to the late First Hokage.

Even Orochimaru only learned relevant information from the fundamentally preserved materials.

A sample known as "columnar cells".

After the death of the first Hokage, according to the last wish of the first generation, the second Hokage led the research on his body. After the death of the second generation, the project was completely sealed.

Orochimaru learned relevant information through these remaining materials.

As a direct descendant of the original purpose, it is not impossible for Shengshu to inherit some of the characteristics of the original purpose.

And it was only after experiencing a death that he awakened.

If research is to be done, perhaps it would be more straightforward to directly study the cells of the first Hokage.

It's just... how to convince Danzo?
With Danzo's obsession with power, he didn't dare to involve himself in the cells between the pillars. It is obvious that Sarutobi-sensei is very concerned about this thing...

"That's the cell from Rope Tree's grandfather, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama."

The cells of the first Hokage?He has been dead for so many years, can the cells still survive?
If it was true, how powerful was his cell activity during his lifetime?
Thinking of the abnormality of Naoshu's body, Gaia felt that this was very possible.

"However, Danzo will not necessarily agree to help us get samples."

"Maybe we have to come up with something that interests Danzo before he lets go..."

Gaia knew that what Orochimaru meant was that they needed to give Danzo some research content other than Reincarnation of Dirty Soil, so that this "big man" could help them get the corresponding samples.

It's just a small price, and Gaia doesn't mind this little thing.

The two of them were busy again, selecting some non-essential content from the results they had achieved, and then compiled the abnormality of the cells in the rope tree into data and gathered them together.

In the end, Orochimaru was dispatched to negotiate with Danzo.

……

"What are you doing without telling me?" Danzang patted the table angrily when he saw the information in front of him.

Even if the two selected the content, it was very much, enough to make Danzo feel angry.

The two co-authors took the funds and resources I gave, and did some other things, right?

"It's just a little bit of interest, and it didn't take much effort." Orochimaru certainly wouldn't tell the truth.

"Hashirama cells..." It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted. If you can crack the secret of the first generation's body, you will have the strength to dominate the ninja world by one person.

Not to mention Hokage, even if you want to work part-time as a Tukage, you can do it... If the Land of Land or Hidden Rock Village disagrees, there will be no Country of Land and Hidden Rock Village.

The coveting of that power is what Danzo has always longed for.

But the risk is very high. Once what Gaia and Orochimaru are doing is exposed, he will be blamed at most, but if he studies the body of the first generation in private, it will be a crime of disrespect.

Even when the second generation Hokage conducts research on the first generation Hokage, he must be careful...

If this matter is not handled well, his position as the No. [-] figure in Konoha Danzo Shimura is about to be shaken.
