Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 122 Humanoid Tailed Beast Rope Tree ([-])

After all, Danzo couldn't resist this temptation, and finally "stealed" a piece of flesh and blood tissue from Senjujumama from an unknown place.

With his status, he has to steal, which shows that Konoha controls this thing very strictly.

But Danzo also made a request. Just like the reincarnation of the dirty land, this thing must report its progress every two months.

……

Research on Hashirama's cells was put on the agenda, and Gaia finally realized the power of Senju Hashirama through experiments one after another.

Decades later, the cells on the other party's body regained their activity on the culture dish under slight stimulation, and showed more powerful characteristics than the rope tree cells in all aspects.

Gaia... seemed to have glimpsed the true meaning of power.

……

After getting the mission letter and permission, Naoshu finally left the village. He turned back and looked at the gate of Konoha.

"I can finally leave the village." His mission this time was to perform a mission in a small country that had a good relationship with the Country of Fire. A group of wandering ninjas occupied a mine in the country, and the rope tree's mission was to first explore Explain the situation, and then Konoha Ichiban will decide the next plan based on the information.

The exploration mission itself was only B-level, but the extermination of the ninja gang was A-level.

The figure of the rope tree disappeared in place, and a green light shuttled through the jungle.

He needs to quickly accumulate fame through a large number of tasks, become a strong man recognized by the village and even the entire ninja world, and even...become the next Hokage.

……

With the increase in the number of missions performed by Zhishu and the increase in difficulty, he began to frequently fight against ninjas from other villages, and then the entire ninja world knew something.

The second blue beast appeared in Konoha!

Compared with this, what is even more shocking is his identity: the grandson of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, known as the God of Ninjas - Nawaki.

At the beginning, the villages didn't even know the rope tree's ability, because everyone who had fought with him died... It was only learned from the mouths of those who were lucky enough to survive that they encountered the rope tree during the mission.

It wasn't until one day that the five-tailed Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure, Han, encountered each other, and the world learned a little bit about the rope tree.

Han can use the steam to explode with great strength and speed, and he has also earned his reputation among ninjas.

However, after a mission, he was injured and escaped back to Iwagakure Village, and brought back a piece of information that made Iwagakure uneasy.

Naoki's taijutsu is far better than his own, and he can even kick his half-tailed beast self. If he hadn't run so fast, Iwagakure Village would have needed a new Jinchuuriki.

After that, information about other strong men fighting against the rope tree continued to spread in the ninja world.

His fighting style is similar to that of the Blue Beast, one of the Sannin of Konoha, but more direct and violent. On one occasion, he even performed the feat of punching through a mountain.

To destroy a mountain, some ninjas may be able to do it with powerful escape techniques, or tailed beasts can do it with physical strength.

But in the past, everyone thought it was beyond human power.

But the rope tree changed everyone's views, so he got his own title - Konoha's humanoid tailed beast, the rope tree.

The ninja world’s evaluation of the tree is even higher than that of the three ninjas. There is a saying in some ninja villages that if you encounter Konoha’s human-tailed beast during the mission, you can give up the mission directly if there is a possibility of fighting , and will not be penalized.

In Konoha, another powerful man who shocked the ninja world appeared.

It took a year from Shengshu's shot until he got this title.

This year, his task completion efficiency has reached No. 2 in Konoha, and he is far ahead of No.[-].

……

"This guy really doesn't want his life."

Gaia didn't know why the rope tree was working so hard. In this year, he almost didn't take a break, either on the way to perform the task or on the way to receive the task.

But squeezing himself like this will only shorten his life expectancy. Even though Gaia repeatedly emphasized this matter during the brief encounter, Shengshu was unmoved.

"Mr. Gaia, I will repay your life-saving grace in my own way." Zhishu's endless words made Gaia confused.

Why are you still involved with me?

However, it doesn't matter. Although the progress of Hashirama cells is slow, it is still in the process of advancement. He has recently made some attempts to add weakened longevity factors to Hashirama cells. Currently, the two can coexist, and It greatly increases the upper limit of division of Hashirama cells. Moreover, Hashirama cells are extremely stable. Even if they divide multiple times, strange mutations will not occur.

This also let Gaia know another key piece of information, that is, as the level of life or strength increases, the genes in the body will become more and more stable, and the probability of mutation will become extremely small.

The reason why those chickens, ducks, fish and monkeys are prone to mutations in cell divisions is because their own genes are not stable enough.

According to Gaia's plan, the next step is to gradually cultivate the weaker Hashirama cells, so weak that they can be swallowed by the cells of the Rope Tree, and then through repeated attempts, select the ones who inherit the former's "longevity" and cells with controllable properties of both.

In this way, rope trees can avoid a short-lived fate.

As for the next step, it is to make this cell a level that can be accepted by ordinary ninjas...

But this is Gaia's plan, and someone is more anxious than him.

……

"Orochimaru, I'm very dissatisfied with your progress!" Danzo finally discovered some clues. Danzo was very angry that his two scientists took inventory and squeezed toothpaste to deal with him.

For more than a year, Orochimaru has been communicating with Danzo, and Orochimaru, as the external spokesperson of the duo, did not pass on the pressure from the outside world to Gaia, because in his opinion, Gaia is more important than others. A genius who outdoes himself should not focus on such trivial matters.

"Scientific research matters cannot be hidden. We just want to ensure the reliability of the results, so we don't tell you those things that are too advanced..."

Naturally, Danzo would not listen to Orochimaru's nonsense, "I can't wait any longer. We will directly conduct human experiments later..."

"Are you crazy?" After Orochimaru heard this, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he slowly said: "You know, cell inhibition may only start from the larval stage, and the survival rate is very low... You But think about it, where can you find so many samples?"

If you attack the death row inmates in the village, it's fine if Mr. Sarutobi finds out, but if you attack the children in the village, even if you are the Hokage's right-hand man, you can't escape the blame!

"You don't have to worry about the source of the sample, you just need to convince Gaia to agree to this experiment..."

Convince him?That's a bit difficult... After this year of getting along, Orochimaru found that there were differences between himself and Gaia.

Also for the sake of power, Gaia still has some moral bottom line.

When using death row inmates to conduct research on earth reincarnation or biological experiments related to Hashirama cells, Gaia would not even blink when taking blood samples or even killing people.

But he only kills the damned and never touches the innocent.

It is impossible for the other party to agree to use ignorant children for human experiments.
