Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

There was no soaring blood pressure and body-burning pain as expected, no clichéd hyperactive roars, and hysterical screams. Instead, there was only the coldness of falling into an ice cellar, and the darkness that was useless.

"Shisui-kun, how do you feel?"

Ruoshui vaguely heard Orochimaru's call and wanted to speak out, but his vocal cords refused to obey. No, all the muscles in his body were out of conscious control. He entered a state similar to a 'nightmare'!

What's even more desperate than this is that there are obviously no wounds, but the blood seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Of course, the blood will not disappear out of thin air. It is heart failure caused by unknown reasons.

If the water can feel it, the heart muscle is pacing hard, trying to push the silent blood, just like a lone tracker, braving the huge waves, trying to use his back fibers to pull the ship called life to the shore.

But...under force majeure, that is ultimately in vain.

The perception of the outside world completely disappeared, and Ruoshui's consciousness sank towards the endless darkness.

"Cold, so cold, dark, so dark, am I... going to die?"

hum!

On the electrocardiogram imager, Ruoshui's electrocardiogram turned into a straight line!

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses, a hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes: "Uchiha Shisui's heart has stopped beating!"

Orochimaru stared at the 'gene map imager', took out the 'pocket watch', and said quietly: "This is expected, because after identifying the 'gene invasion', all of Shisui-kun's life energy will be devoted to the next step. In the genetic war, this is a state of suspended animation. If he can wake up 15 minutes before brain death, it means he has survived. Otherwise, Lord Shisui will go from suspended animation to real death..."

On the genetic map imager, the genetic conspiracy belonging to 'Shisui' showed signs of disintegration.

The pharmacist took a breath and calmed down: "As expected of Hashirama-sama's genes, they are so strong that they are almost one-sided. Shisui's genes have no ability to resist at all. It seems that the possibility of genetic recombination has completely disappeared. The final The result is between 'gene destruction' or 'gene replacement', with a high probability of gene destruction!"

Orochimaru's brows furrowed tightly: This shouldn't be the case. Shisui-kun's genes shouldn't be so vulnerable to Hashirama's genes!

He turned to look at Hashirama's genetic map, and suddenly... discovered something!

"Kabuto, enlarge Hashirama-sama's genetic map!!"

After the genetic map was enlarged, Orochimaru's pupils shrank suddenly: "This, this is...!!!"

He was very familiar with Senju Hashirama's genes, which consisted of 67 gene fragments, but... there were 68 fragments on the Hashirama genetic map in front of him!

Looking at the 68th gene fragment that did not belong to Hashirama, Orochimaru's pupils were shocked!

Senju Hashirama's artificial body has been cultivated by the heretic demon for many years. The extra 68th fragment can only come from the 'heretic demon'!

Orochimaru clenched his palms tightly: "I... made such a low-level oversight. The artificial body was not Senju Hashirama, but the one carrying the gene fragment of the heretic demon - Heretic Senju Hashirama!!"

At this point, Orochimaru can't change anything and can only wait for the result. Although the hope is slim, he still looks forward to witnessing the miracle of truth in Shisui!

But the reality is cruel. As time passes by, Shisui's genes have completely disintegrated!

Bah!Orochimaru closed his pocket watch and secretly asked, "Is this the end of Shisui-kun's gust of wind?"

Yakushi Kabuto stood up: "Lord Orochimaru, we have tried our best, and there is nothing wrong with Shisui, so you don't have to blame yourself!"

Orochimaru shook his head in despair: "Blame yourself? How could I blame myself? I don't care about Shisui-kun's life or death. I just regret that I couldn't witness the miracle called truth!"

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses: "Then, as agreed in advance, let's take back Shisui's eyes. It's time for us to leave this poor little village."

Orochimaru arrived in front of Ruoshui early and stretched out his hand to his pupils: "Shisui-kun, this is reality, light, I will accept it!"

hum!

Suddenly... the genetic imager made a beep!

Shisui, the completely fragmented 'gene map' actually showed a 'segment' with a 'blurred' color!

Kabuto Yakushi was shocked: "Hidden gene fragment...!?"

Orochimaru: "No, that is the fragment of the soul in the gene. The expression of the gene will be reflected in the growth of the body and consciousness, and the growth of the body and consciousness will be stored in the 'soul fragment' as a 'seed', and the soul begins. Based on genes, but higher than genes, the Second Hokage's filthy reincarnation and my immortal reincarnation are all developed based on this. After death, that fragment will automatically disappear in the genetic map..."

Cold sweat ran down Yakushi Kabuto's face: "But...how did the gene fragment that should have disappeared with Shisui's death reappear?"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed: "Maybe... it didn't reappear, but it didn't exist in the first place, but we didn't notice it!"

Kabuto Yakushi was surprised: "What!? If...that's really the case! Wouldn't it be surprising that Shisui is dead, and what is in Shisui-kun's body is a soul that does not belong to Shisui-kun!"

Orochimaru nodded: "Yes, it is not until this moment that the 'gene fragment' of the new soul is actually written into the 'gene'!"

The pharmacist looked at the 'blurred' soul gene fragments on the imager and was puzzled: "Then why, the genetic imager... cannot clearly show the soul genes. All soul gene fragments are Is that so?"

"Well, of course it's not, hehehehe, hehehehe..."

Orochimaru lowered his head, trembling with excitement because of the sudden major discovery and the truth contained in it.

Maybe...that soul comes from a world I don't know!

Orochimaru had some reservations about this hypothesis that made him feel crazy and did not put it into Yakushi Kabuto's mind.

Orochimaru calmed down, stretched out the hand that touched Ruoshui's eyes, and said to Yakushi Kabuto: "In short, the appearance of the soul gene means that 'Shisui-kun' has struggled from the edge of death. He should go through the process of 'gene replacement' There's a way out, Kabuto, use your medical ninjutsu and prepare to 'stop the bleeding'!"

Sure enough, a weak heartbeat appeared on the electrocardiogram.

Kabuto Yakushi clenched his fists: Is this guy going to become Senju Hashirama? But that's fine, changing his gene into Senju Hashirama means that his Uchiha genes must be completely eliminated, as long as he is not a 'different god' , Orochimaru-sama has no risk of losing himself, it’s not that I can’t accept it...

Gene replacement is equivalent to everything except the soul gene fragment being replaced by the 'Senju Hashirama' gene. The body shape and appearance will of course transition to Senju Hashirama.

This process must be bloody.

Kabuto walked from the console to Shisui, the light of medical ninjutsu covering his hands.

boom!

As 'gene replacement' occurs, Ruosui's skin melts, blood splashes out, and his entire skeleton crackles. When this process is over, Shisui will no longer be Shisui, but Senju. Hashirama!

Orochimaru raised his eyes brightly: It seems that gene replacement is a foregone conclusion. I am once again sure that the key to the truth is hidden in 'Shisui-kun'...

Whisper, rustle, rustle... Hashirama's transformation was extremely strong. Soon, Shisui's body and appearance had completely transformed into 'Senju Hashirama'... only... those eyes were left!

Zhi... The magatama of the Sharingan eyes rotated out!

At this time, Yakushi Kabuto's surprised cry came: "His transformation process of Senju Hashirama...has stopped!?"

Ruoshui was in a deep coma and let out a roar from his soul: "No one... can take away my light! Not even Senju Hashirama!"

Snapped!

The already formed flesh and blood melted again, starting from around the eyes and transitioning to 'stop water' again!

Orochimaru looked at the genetic imager in shock! !

Except for the soul gene fragments, the completely disintegrated 'Shisui Gene' was reassembled at some point!

At the same time, the 'heretic, Thousand-Armed Hashirama Gene' that had been unshakable from beginning to end, actually... began to change!

He raised his eyes with a trembling light: "Could it be that... 'Zhisui-kun', who survived the result of destruction, was not satisfied with the result of 'replacement' and tried to forcefully recombine genes!?"
