Konoha Tatsuno

On the streets of Konoha Village, Tatsuno and Kakashi walked side by side.

The two met while visiting Kai at the Ninja Hospital.

After such a long period of treatment, Kai's injury has improved significantly. Not only can he move freely on the ground, but he can even carry out some minor activities.

It is not difficult to tell from the tone of the conversation that Kai can no longer hold back.

In this regard, Tatsuno and Kakashi naturally tried their best to dissuade him, and Shun Arai also warned him in a stern tone.

Tatsuno has always been vigilant about Shun Arai.

Because this guy is from Danzo.

When the hijacking incident of the leader of the Kumogakure mission occurred, Danzo and his subordinates took the opportunity to attack him directly. This happened very suddenly.

And for no reason.

Afterwards, after Tatsuno carefully reviewed the matter, the only thing he could think of was that he assisted Shun Arai in treating Kai's injury.

Danzo may have coveted this ability of his.

At that time, apart from Kyoko, only Shun Arai had seen this.

Before leaving the village last time, Tatsuno had mentioned Danzo to Shun Arai, intentionally or unintentionally, and the other party's reaction was very intriguing.

Tatsuno was almost certain that Shun Arai must have revealed the news to Danzo.

After returning to the village this time, Arai Shun lost his previous naturalness and calmness every time he saw Tatsuno.

Because the news that Tatsuno killed Uchiha Hui has been confirmed to be true.

Compared with Uchiha Hui, who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength is far inferior.

"Tatsuno, what do you think of the village?"

After walking a long distance from the ninja hospital and arriving at a relatively quiet street, Kakashi suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Kakashi, I don't understand what you mean." Hearing this, Tatsuno turned his head and looked at Kakashi in surprise.

Kakashi stopped and said in a more serious tone: "Are you a little dissatisfied with the situation in the village?"

Tatsuno also stopped. He looked at Kakashi who looked at him solemnly, and asked with confusion: "Why do you ask that?"

"It's obvious!" Kakashi said.

"Is it obvious?" Long Ye murmured after hearing this.

These words were tantamount to acknowledging what Kakashi just said.

The two were once comrades in ANBU Team [-]. Although their private relationship was not as deep as with Gai, Tatsuno did not want to deceive Kakashi.

"Peace in the village is hard-won. It was bought with the blood of countless predecessors. I allow someone to trample on it! And I don't want that person to be you!"

Kakashi's eyes gradually became sharp, and he stared at Tatsuno word for word for a moment.

Tatsuno and Kakashi looked at each other.

After a moment, Tatsuno said: "Kakashi, you are worrying too much! I never wanted to destroy the peace of the village, I just don't like the rancid smell floating over the village, it is evil!"

Kakashi's eyes flashed slightly: "Your thoughts and actions are very dangerous."

Tatsuno snorted softly: "Dangerous? Isn't it dangerous if you are willing to be a chess piece in other people's hands and let them play with it? Kakashi, I'm afraid you have forgotten your father's past!

I will not back down when the village is in trouble or when there is an important task.However, it is impossible for them to play with it however they want.

After all, the ninja world relies on strength to speak for itself. Those monster tricks alone cannot last long, and there may be a day when they will get burned.

Only absolute strength can overwhelm everything, and the cornerstone of peace is long-term and reliable strength."

After saying that, Long Ye walked away.

Behind him, Kakashi stood there blankly, with grief and contemplation on his face.

That afternoon, the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, I want to quit ANBU"

Kakashi knelt on one knee in front of his desk and said respectfully to the third generation.

"Oh? Why did you make this decision suddenly?"

Behind the desk, the third generation raised his head and looked at Kakashi in surprise.

Kakashi was silent.

"Is it related to Tatsuno? Haha, since you have thought it through yourself, it is settled. I will order someone to complete your procedures later. You can rest for a while first."

Seeing this, Sandai sighed softly.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama"

Kakashi thanked him, stood up and left.

Watching Kakashi leave silently, a hint of sadness flashed in the third generation's eyes.

Over the years, I seem to have gone further and further away.

Time passed quickly, and a month passed quickly in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to the day-long efforts of Tatsuno's clone, the new laboratory was actually completed half a month ago, but it was unable to be officially put into operation due to the lack of experimental instruments and equipment.

Three days ago, a large amount of equipment that Tatsuno secretly purchased through Anshitang's channels was finally delivered.

In the laboratory, Jizo's clone was standing in front of a centrifuge and busy, with dozens of test tubes and culture dishes containing cell samples placed beside him.

The dishes were divided into two parts, with one box labeled and placed in one box, and the other box containing only six unlabeled test tube petri dishes.

In the laboratory behind the ground, more than a dozen large petri dishes were placed side by side. One of the petri dishes was filled with nutrient solution and an experimental subject.

This experimental subject was the one-eyed clone that was killed by Ksitigarbha using Tianhui that day.

The Mangekyō Sharingan of the one-eyed clone has been removed, and the big hole in the middle of the body is clearly visible.

Ksitigarbha's three-magatama Sharingan has been opened, and he is staring at the high-speed rotating centrifuge for an instant.

Inside the centrifuge, three cells that are invisible to the naked eye are rotating at high speed with the centrifuge.

This process lasted for a long time, and gradually the three cell samples began to slowly fuse.

Eventually, they merged successfully.

When the centrifuge stopped, Jizo looked at the successfully fused cell sample with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Take out the successfully fused cell sample, put it into a test tube culture dish, and then place it in the unlabeled box.

Then, Jizo continued to take out labeled cell samples and conduct cell fusion experiments again.

After seven successful cell fusion experiments, Jizo discovered a huge surprise.

That is that the body cells of the one-eyed clone actually have the characteristics of being able to perfectly integrate with other cells.

In the previous seven fusion experiments, Jizo used the cells of Tatsuno, Shisui, and Hinata to fuse with the cells of the one-eyed clone, and all of them were successful.

This 100% fusion success rate is enough to save Tatsuno a lot of time. He no longer needs to worry about fusing cell samples.

Next, Tatsuno can carry out batch cultivation of embryos, and then select clones without distortion for further cultivation and experiments.

The special characteristics of the one-eyed clone body cells made Jizo instantly think of Uchiha Nobu.

Thinking again of the unique shape of the one-eyed clone and its Mangekyō Sharingan, it seems to be very similar to the one-eyed creature under Uchiha Nobu.

Perhaps similar aberrations have occurred in one-eyed clones and one-eyed creatures.

However, to this day, Tatsuno has not figured out why the three magatama sharingan of the one-eyed clone evolved into the Mangekyo Sharingan, which is full of violent and chaotic spiritual energy.

If Tatsuno hadn't used the special effects of the Yin-Yang Seal in time to successfully extract this spiritual energy, perhaps the Mangekyō Sharingan would have been destroyed.

When faced with Uchiha Fugaku's questioning, Tatsuno successfully fooled him by releasing this mental energy.
