Konoha starts from the root

On the other side, in the Kingdom of the Sea, Ghost World Island, in the experimental base, there is a room filled with books and scrolls.

Xiang Lian was carefully reading a book containing medical ninjutsu.

Suddenly, she felt a slight heat on the back of her neck, so she unconsciously reached out to touch it.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

At this moment, a familiar coughing sound came.

She was shocked and quickly looked for the sound, only to see Bai Ye suddenly appearing behind her, covering her mouth and coughing continuously.

Seeing this, Xiang Lian quickly put down the book and stepped forward in a slightly panicked voice and asked, "Bai Ye, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiang Phosphorus, cough cough, go get the medicine, cough, cough cough." Bai Ye said while coughing.

Only then did Xiang Ling regain his composure and quickly ran out of the room.

Bai Ye glanced at the blood on his palms and sighed secretly: "Hey~, it's serious again, cough cough."

Soon, Xiang Phosphorus trotted over carrying an iron plate.

After that, he skillfully picked up the syringe and drew out the inhibitor from the bottle.

After looking at Bai Ye and seeing him nodding, he plunged into his veins.

As Xiang Phosphorus' thumb gradually exerted force, the light green liquid was slowly injected into Bai Ye's blood vessels.

After a few seconds, the injection was completed and Xiang Phosphorus pulled out the needle.

Then he looked at Bai Ye nervously.

"Cough cough."

Bai Ye sat on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, quietly waiting for the potion to take effect as usual.

After a while, the potion began to take effect.

Pain comes with it.

At this moment, Bai Ye's heartbeat rate increased by about twice, and the blood flow rate in his body also accelerated, which made his skin turn red.

The inhibitor also flows throughout the body along with the blood circulation.

Bai Ye only felt that the cells in his body were burning, and there was a burning sensation everywhere in his body.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the pain never eased.

One second, two seconds,...

A fine drop of sweat broke out on Bai Ye's forehead.

1 minute, 2 minutes,...

Bai Ye's clothes were already soaked.

Just like this, a full quarter of an hour passed before the burning pain gradually subsided.

It was only then that Bai Ye opened his eyes slightly and exhaled a long breath: "Huh——"

Seeing this, Xiang Ling, whose heart was already in his throat, slowly felt relieved.

However, after she calculated the time secretly, her face changed slightly and she asked carefully: "Bai Ye, is your illness getting worse again?"

······

A few months ago, when cytopathic inhibitors were first developed, Bai Ye only needed to be injected once every half month to suppress genetic diseases caused by meteorite radiation.

However, during these two months, this time interval gradually shortened to ten days.

Today, only seven days have passed since the last inhibitor injection.

Is it any wonder that Xiang Phosphorus asked this question?

Bai Ye knows very well that the cytopathic inhibitor, just like its name, can only suppress but not cure, so the worsening of the condition is unavoidable.

And his constant use of "Ice Release" Blood Succession Limit and "Dust Release" Blood Succession Elimination only intensified this process.

Similarly, this is also the reason why his condition has worsened in the past two months. It is strange that his condition has not worsened since he practiced Chen Escape for a long time every day.

As for today's sudden deterioration, the main reason is due to the accumulation in the past two months and the frequent cross-use of "Ice Escape" and "Dust Escape".

In the final analysis, all of this is caused by the power of meteorite radiation.

There is no free lunch in the world. The successive awakenings of "Ice Escape" and "Dust Escape" have made it impossible for his genes at the critical point of mutation to return to a stable state, so the occurrence of genetic diseases is inevitable.

The only way to completely cure a genetic disease is to restore the genes in the body to a stable state.

However, it is difficult to make a broken mirror, and it is extremely difficult to achieve this.

······

“I’m afraid it’s too late to continue developing new drugs.

Moreover, in the plan, the route of new drugs is still suppressed. In the final analysis, it can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

As for the healing potion, the possibility of successful development is not very high.

It seems it's time to make a choice! "

After calculating the resources in his hands and thinking for a long time, Bai Ye finally made up his mind and took Tianzhi's backup plan as his first choice. In other words, Bai Ye planned to replace himself with a new body.

However, he would not just take over someone's body like Orochimaru did.

He wants to complete the gene fusion technology, and then use it as a basis, combined with other technologies, to create a body with extraordinary potential and a body that is fully compatible with his own soul.

Strictly speaking, this body is not his now.

In the ninja world, all that truly belongs to him is his naked soul, which means that he himself is not a complete individual.

And this was one of the reasons why Bai Ye made up his mind.

He had a hunch that if he wanted to transcend the ninja world, this step would be essential.

Therefore, he will invest all his resources into it.

Of course, during this period, he also had to ensure that his condition would not worsen.

While he was thinking, Xiang Phosphorus's voice sounded again: "Bai Ye?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye came back to his senses, looked at Xiang Li who looked nervous, and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

After that, he stood up and walked out.

Now, he needs a good rest.

As for Shen Nong's affairs, we'll talk about it after Hu and the others meet No. [-].

······

At the same time, in the Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village, on the top floor of the Hokage Building, in the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was dealing with the documents in his hands. Suddenly, a crow as black as ink flew in from the window.

Before it could get close, an ANBU ninja suddenly appeared and reached out to catch it.

As long as it is of unknown origin, no matter what it is, he will not let it get close to the Hokage-sama.

However, when Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the crow, he looked startled and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Hearing this, the ANBU ninja immediately stopped.

The crow bypassed the ANBU ninja and flew in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen steadily, as if confirming something. After a while, it spit out a small scroll.

After that, he disappeared directly.

Apparently, this is a psychic beast.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored the crow and quickly picked up the scroll on the table.

After opening it, lines of text gradually appeared and then disappeared.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the scroll and murmured: "I see."

The next moment, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

He took the crystal ball on the side, formed a seal with his hands, and used the telescope technique.

Immediately, a picture appeared in the crystal ball.

That was a classroom in the ninja school.

The teacher on the podium is Umino Iruka, and the center of the picture is Uzumaki Naruto who is sleeping.

After observing for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi stretched out his hand and the picture in the crystal ball disappeared.

After putting the crystal ball aside, he said to the ANBU ninja who had been standing silently, "Let Tenzo and Kakashi come to see me."

"Yes, three generations of adults."

After responding, the ANBU ninja left.
