Chapter 390 What is life span? A brief discussion on the role of DNA telomeres in life processes

[After the experimental genin drank the hero's water, the amount of fireballs released increased from twenty-two to two hundred and twelve. 】

Amamiya Kenichi looked at the exhausted Snow Country genin, and then looked at the training ground that had turned pitch black. He couldn't help but take a breath of air. Is this heroic water really useful?

"However, we must consider that the strength level of genin in Snow Country is not necessarily the same, but even so, purely from an individual point of view, the experimental material of this genin has indeed increased the chakra by almost ten times." Amamiya Kenichi looked at the experiment log in his hand.

Although there are different differences between individuals, what he compared this time was not the gap between different ninjas, but the performance of a single individual after drinking the hero's water.

"So far, you've only had a normal sip, about forty milliliters?" Kenichi Amamiya looked at the experiment log in his hand. According to the records of Takigakure Village, the more you drink the Hero's Water, the better. The stronger the burst of strength, the higher the chakra will be.

But relatively speaking, the lifespan lost will naturally become higher. To a certain extent, it can be understood that the lifespan is exchanged for chakra. Should it be regarded as an equivalent exchange?

"It's a bit hard to understand. What is the principle of this thing?" Amamiya Kenichi looked at the gourd in his hand curiously, and the ninja who served as the experimental subject was sitting on the ground refining chakra to restore his lost chakra. But from the outside, there isn't much change in appearance.

This made Amemiya Kenichi even more curious about how the life span of this heroic water was consumed? And after all, what is this concept of lifespan?

It can't be that the lifespan written in the book of life and death has been changed by a few lines, right?

From a biological point of view, lifespan should be understood as a large loss of cells, but not necessarily. However, most of the cells in a normal human body are dying and being born, repeating this step. .

The cells in a normal person's body are affected by the telomeres of DNA. When a DNA is replicated, a small part of its telomeres will be lost, and these telomeres do not have genetic information.

In other words, the lost telomeres will not affect the complete expression of DNA replication genetic information, which is equivalent to human fingernails. Even after some cutting, it will not affect the normal shape of the entire nail.

And this is also generally considered by the scientific community to be a human life clock.

[Chunin, jounin and genin all drink forty milliliters of hero's water. Although the jounin's improvement factor does not reach ten times, the difference is not very big. Hero's water still exists for jounin. Effective]

"Reporting to Amamiya-sama, I just feel a little tired right now and want to take a good rest." The genin stood up respectfully and lowered his head, answering Kenichi Amamiya's question honestly.

"Purely speaking from the data, there is no special change, but maybe it's because the amount of drinks is not a lot?" Amamiya Kenichi frowned and thought, but he quickly threw this idea behind him. .

[After the experimental chuunin drank forty milliliters of hero water, the ninjutsu released was almost ten times that of before, while the jounin's improvement was almost eight times. 】

Amamiya Kenichi closed the experiment diary. This was enough. Genin, chuunin and jounin all improved their chakra after drinking the hero's water.

Amamiya Kenichi took a look at the data from various monitoring instruments attached to the opponent's body. The overall data was relatively normal, and there were no special changes. If there was anything abnormal, it was probably because he drank the hero. After drinking water, the other party's electrocardiogram changed a little.

Amamiya Ken nodded. He felt that there was a certain possibility, and the possibility was very high. After all, this speculation was very reasonable.

Probably from a normal standing still state to a heartbeat state after a trot. The heartbeat speed has accelerated a bit, but it is not particularly fast.

When telomeres are almost exhausted, problems will occur with the inherited genetic information when DNA is genetically replicated, and problematic genetic information will lead to cell aging and death.

"If we follow this statement, is it possible that the essence of Hero's Water is actually to promote the replication of a large amount of DNA, thereby increasing the upper limit of the existence of a certain cell in the body, thus leading to an increase in the amount of chakra? "

But the problem is that telomeres have a length limit. Even if only a small part of the telomeres is lost during each DNA replication, if more is lost, the total length of the telomeres will continue to shrink.

Because there is no need to think about this problem now, all he needs to do now is to calculate the maximum chakra multiplier that genin, chunin and jounin can increase after drinking the hero's water.

The human body cannot produce new normal cells to work, and in the end it can only gradually die.

"Then due to the large amount of replication, the speed of telomere shrinkage became faster, which directly accelerated the death rate of this ninja? Then the more he drank, the higher the DNA replication, and the upper limit of a certain cell continued to increase. , thus bursting out with stronger strength, but also for this reason, the telomeres were reduced even more, leading to death?"

If telomeres are regarded as a clock, then when the hour hand reaches zero again, the person will undoubtedly die. Because the telomeres are gone, there is a problem with the copied DNA information, and the cells cannot work normally and can only die.

As for how the effect of Heroic Water comes from, it is not something Amamiya Kenichi needs to study at the moment.

So soon, Amamiya Kenichi called a chuunin and jounin from the Land of Snow who had received the gift, and then asked them to release their best ninjutsu first until the chakra was almost consumed.

But it still needs the support of some experimental data. A theory is a theory. Without serious data, it cannot become an axiom.

While waiting for them to recover by refining chakra, Amamiya Kenichi let them take a sip of 40 ml of hero water, and then tested them again, still releasing the most skilled ninjutsu they had mastered.

"How do you feel?" Amamiya Kenichi looked at the genin who was refining chakra and asked. Amamiya Kenichi didn't know the other person's name. He was the experimental subject genin in Amamiya Kenichi's experiment diary. .

It can be seen that the Hero's Water thing is indeed very effective. Although we still don't know how this thing achieves this effect, it doesn't matter anymore. With this thing, Amamiya Kenichi can be said to have mastered the ability to confuse the ninja world. The ability of this pool of water.

"How do you feel?" Amamiya Kenichi took a look at the monitoring data. It was still the same. Whether he was a chuunin or a jounin, the current physical data was similar to that of the previous genin. The heartbeat was accelerated. Other than that, there was no No special impact.

"I'm a little tired." The chuunin touched his chest.

"It's okay, but I feel a little weird about my body." The Jonin frowned and pinched his arm. He always felt like there was something weird about his body, but he couldn't put it in words.

After hearing this, Amamiya Kenichi took a few more glances at the Jonin's physical data, but still couldn't see anything. The other person's physical data was very normal, and there were no particularly obvious changes. The human body, even under normal circumstances, will undergo some subtle changes, so it is difficult to say whether this slight difference is a manifestation of reduced life span.

Although Kenichi Amemiya now has some speculation about the shortened lifespan caused by this heroic water, it is still troublesome to prove this. First, he needs to observe the existence of telomeres, but the ninja world is not that sophisticated yet. machine.

"But maybe I can demonstrate this in other ways." Amemiya Kenichi thought thoughtfully. He had already thought of a method, which was relatively simple. Although it was not so accurate, it was still useful.

"But now is not the time to dwell on this. What I need to do now is to spread the news about Hero's Water." Amamiya Kenichi shook his head. This issue can be studied slowly, but it is not good to waste time like this. .

Amamiya Kenichi planned to spread the hero water and stir up the emotions of the ninja world, and he also studied a

Well, it seems that he can't study it. Once the news spreads and the major ninja villages take action, he will need to start preparing his own plan to provoke a war between the four major countries, and then take advantage of their tense confrontation or fall into war. At that time, they attacked Kirigakure Village.

Even if these ninja villages can have some sense and send some elite ninjas to look for them, Amamiya Kenichi will not care. When the time comes, he will let his ninja troops put on the clothes and forehead protectors of other ninja villages to start a war.

Then blitz Kirigakure Village.

If this doesn't work, then these ninja villages always have to exchange information with each other to avoid misjudgment, right? While their attention is focused on this matter.

Just attack Kirigakure Village.

Well, no matter what, we must attack Kirigakure Village, just like we attacked Poland.

"Then how will this news be conveyed?" Amamiya Kenichi glanced at his seal scroll and wondered if Yakushi Kabuto had completed the plan he had arranged before?

If the execution is completed, then the other party should also have time to perform other things, right?

"So, I need to spread such a news, and also let other ninja villages know about it?" In a tavern in a remote town, a woman came to the door of Yakushi Kabuto who was about to take a rest.

He looked at the other party helplessly and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, this is what my Lord ordered." Uchiha Shiori sat on the chair, then held a cup of tea in her hand and took a sip.

Kabuto Yakushi rubbed his temples. Why did he feel like he had just jumped out of that damn place at the root and fell into a deeper pit?

Forget about the previous incident. After all, it was just a piece of gossip. Kabuto Yakushi didn't believe it himself, so there was no problem in telling it. People like to spread this kind of gossip, so it was completed smoothly.

But this task

Looking at the scroll and the five small bottles of silver-white liquid in his hand, Kabuto Yakushi licked his lips. Although he was not very old, he was still a ninja, so he could naturally tell that after the information about this thing was conveyed, if it was It proved how terrifying it would be.

The most outrageous thing is that the adult also prepared five portions of such liquid. According to the other party's request, these five portions of liquid will fall into the hands of the five ninja villages. Even if not all of them, at least three ninja villages will have to give up. Get these magical liquids.

The risk here is really high.

"My lord said, the roots have been destroyed, and then he learned some interesting information from Danzo, such as the information about the director of Konoha Orphanage, Yakushi Nonou." Uchiha Shiori couldn't help but He said calmly.

However, Yakushi Kabuto's pupils suddenly shrank.

Yakushi Nonoyu? He knew this name very well. That was how his surname came from, Medicine Master, and the reason why he became a spy was also because of that gentle person.

"I will complete this task." Kabuto Yakushi's expression became determined. If there was anyone in this world for whom he was willing to give everything, then there was no doubt that it was that gentle person.

If it weren't for Yakushi Nonou, Danzo wouldn't be able to control him so easily. It can only be said that people are always prone to looking forward and backward after being bound.

Uchiha Shiori nodded noncommittally. This Yakushi Kabuto's ability was still very outstanding. I have to say that Lord Amamiya is really a good talent selector and can always discover some outstanding talents.

"By the way, my lord also said that after this mission is completed, you can leave Konoha, and Yakushi Nonou will also be taken to where you are going." Uchiha Shiori added.

Kabuto Yakushi nodded. He still trusted Amamiya Kenichi's words because he basically did what he said. Of course, he had no choice at the moment.

There is only one way to reach darkness.

"This is for you." Uchiha Shiori handed over a document bag. Yakushi Kabuto took it and took a look at it, and then he was stunned.

For a long time, a happy smile appeared on his face that was not commensurate with his age. He looked at the photo in his hand, and tears of laughter ran from the corners of his eyes without paying attention.

Tears were still falling on the photo, but he still held it tightly.

Uchiha Shiori calmly took a sip of tea. There was some envy in her eyes. In order to fulfill his promise to Yakushi Kabuto, Lord Amemiya personally set off from the Land of Snow to Konoha.

According to the strength of that adult, he should have arrived by now, right?

You are really lucky to follow that adult.
