Hoshita Shuichi, who was still happily watching Tsunade's gains during this period, had no idea that he had become a key target of surveillance.
I had lunch with Tsunade and Shizune who had just returned from Konoha Hospital.
In the afternoon, Hoshita Shuichi and Tsunade began planning the construction of the experimental base.
Site selection, equipment procurement, drug procurement...all aspects, fortunately Hoshita Shuichi and Tsunade are not novices, so they are not in a rush.
After making the plan in the afternoon, Hoshita Shuichi returned home and found Ten'un was there too.
"Sister Ten'un!"
Hoshita Shuichi greeted with a smile.
Ten'un, who was chatting with Asuka, immediately stood up: "Shuichi!"
"Here, this is for you. Be on time!"
Hoshita Shuichi reached out and took it. It was an invitation.
It turned out that Ten'un's sister was going to hold her wedding in three days.
Hoshita Shuichi waved the invitation in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely be there on time!"
"Then it's settled."
Ten'un waved to Asuka and said, "Then I'll go back!"
After sending Ten'un out, Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka prepared dinner together. Yakushi Nono would also come back for dinner in the evening.
However, what Hoshita Shuichi did not expect was that when Yakushi Nono came back in the evening, he actually brought a cake and personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for him to make up for his birthday.
The meal was a joyful one.
After dinner, they cleaned up together. Yakushi Nonou and Asuka went out shopping, and Hoshita Shuichi came to the study.
Next he needs to sort out his own practice.
The Flying Thunder God has been mastered, and the next step is to gain continuous proficiency.
Then the Flying Thunder God's guided lightning and the like are all based on the application of the Flying Thunder God's technique.
There is no need to rush for the three talents [Medical Master], [Clone Master], and [Stand Master]. One is Orochimaru's software transformation, and the other is the Eight-Tails. This is the focus of Hoshita Shuichi's next experimental breakthrough.
Hoshita Shuichi looked at the talent tree, which contained master talents one by one.
[Earth release Master], [lightning release Master], [water release Master], [Perception Master], [Illusion Master], and [Seal Master].
The requirements for these master talents are of the same type, either creating more than 5 A-level ninjutsu, or creating S-level ninjutsu.
Hoshita Shuichi is already very experienced in developing ninjutsu.
However, S-level ninjutsu often require extremely high changes in nature and form.
Although it is not absolute, but when it reaches S-level, the effect and power will indeed be outstanding.
"There are too many A-levels. One master and one S-level are enough."
Hoshita Shuichi thought secretly: "Earth release... move on to defense, the attack of lightning release, wind release, and fire release are enough. My current physical defense is still far from enough."
"S-class water release..."
Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help scratching his head. Changing the form of water was relatively easier, but changing its properties... he had no idea for the time being.
As for Lightning Release, Kakashi is already developing Raikiri, but Hoshita Shuichi has no intention of developing in this direction. He will just swap it over once Kakashi has developed it, and it can also be used in conjunction with Flying Thunder God. In fact, its lethality is better than that of Rasengan.
So which direction should we go?
"A lightning armor that combines attack, defense and speed? The Kumo ninja's lightning chakra mode is too rough. I have strong enough chakra control, so I can improve my skills."
Thinking of this, Hoshita Shuichi shook his head and rejected the idea, then thought of a very famous move.
Electromagnetic gun!
Although it has the word "magnetic" in it, it does not necessarily require magnetic release.
In other words, an electric field can naturally form a magnetic field, which means it has both electrical and magnetic properties.
Manipulating electric current to form a magnetic field is definitely an S-level difficulty level and is very challenging.
Thinking of this,Hoshita Shuichi became interested: "The damage of lightning release is mostly strong electric current, and if you want to form an electromagnetic cannon, you need ultra-high voltage lightning release."
"This... can also be considered a change in the nature of Lightning Release?"
The concept of voltage is not complicated. It is the potential difference or electric potential difference, which is a physical quantity that measures the energy difference caused by the different electric potential of unit charge in the electrostatic field.
Of course, voltage is generally used in circuits.
Hoshita Shuichi felt that he should use "electric potential difference" and "electric potential difference" to describe it.
"Forget it, voltage is more familiar to me."
Hoshita Shuichi made a decision.
The development of Thunder Release is the electromagnetic gun!
Maybe after developing this ninjutsu, I can also apply it to master magnetic release.
Next, perception ninjutsu.
"The Listening Technique belongs to Chakra Perception, and the Heat Vision Eyes can be said to be visual perception..."
Hoshita Shuichi hesitated. Should he develop a more comprehensive perception technique in all aspects?"Or develop a comprehensive perception technique?"
Hoshita Shuichi's attention returned to the art of listening.
Perhaps it can be developed based on the art of listening.
For example, malicious perception!
Through the understanding of the nature of chakra, especially after coming into contact with the chakra of the tailed beasts, the principle of Naruto's Nine-Tails mode's malicious perception is not difficult to understand.
Just as Hoshita Shuichi had talked to Orochimaru before.
Chakra is formed by the combination of spiritual and physical energy, so a person's chakra naturally carries his or her own spiritual will.
Therefore, the Six Paths Sage regarded Chakra as a force that could enable people to communicate with each other mentally.
Even physical and mental changes can cause changes in the performance of chakra.
Hoshita Shuichiichi had an example right before his eyes.
Orochimaru!
As the software transformation continued, the feeling of Orochimaru's chakra to Hoshita Shuichi was also constantly changing.
Then there is the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Shisui is an exception.
But for many Uchiha clan members, as their Sharingan continues to improve, their chakra will also change.
In Karin's perception, Naruto's chakra is warm, while Uchiha Sasuke's chakra appears especially cold after opening the Mangekyō.
And the most obvious one is the Tailed Beast Chakra, which everyone feels is evil.
Of course, it is obviously very difficult to sense malice from chakra.
Because unlike the tailed beasts, most people will naturally hide their malicious intent.
"Moreover, the potential of the listening Technique is actually very large. In addition to sensing malicious intent, it can even be used to eavesdrop on people's thoughts and consciousness."
"Of course, this direction is definitely extremely difficult, but becoming able to hear thousands of miles away may not be impossible... then the name of Divine listening can be said to be worthy of its name."
The final illusion and sealing technique.
Illusionist Hoshita Shuichi had some ideas a long time ago, that is, based on the memory palace, perhaps he could develop an illusion similar to the limited Tsukuyomi.
However, when thinking of illusions, one can't help but think of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō.
"Spiritual type...spiritualization technique."
Hoshita Shuichi thought of the technique mastered by Tsunade's ex-boyfriend, and thought to himself: "In fact, the current state of the Six Paths Sage is probably an advanced version of the spiritual state."
"The art of spiritualization, the spirit gathers into a spirit body, carrying chakra. The so-called spirit body is better called a soul."
"Shiki Fujin seals the soul, and the Rinnegan can also extract the soul."
His thoughts wandered and Hoshita Shuichi suddenly had an idea.
Can he seal other people's souls into his own memory palace?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it began to grow wildly like weeds.
By defeating the [Master of Seals], he can solidify a sealing technique into his own bloodline limit, similar to the Adamantine Sealing Chain.
Therefore, developing sealing techniques is particularly important for Hoshita Shuichi. Gathering his thoughts, Hoshita Shuichi decided to master the Spirit Transformation Technique first, and then the Demonic Sealing Technique.
Both of these techniques involve the soul and are very important to him.
However, he and Uzumaki Kushina have studied the Shiki Fuujin technique for a long time, and Namikaze Minato has also participated, so it is actually not a problem to perform it.
However, using the Shiki Fuujin was not Hoshita Shuichi's purpose.
After all, this technique can only be used once.
"The priority for developing techniques next is sealing techniques, illusion techniques, and Earth release defense techniques. The rest will follow."
The plan was set, and Hoshita Shuichi looked at the time.
It's still early!
Then let's try to completely master the Lava Release Bloodline Limit first!
Before in the River Country, he was already able to skillfully use the Four-Tails' Chakra to perform Lava Release, but this was borrowing the power of the Four-Tails, not because he himself possessed the Lava Release Bloodline Limit.
The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, has actually synthesized the Lava Release Bloodline Limit on his own.
Lava release = fire release + Earth release!
In terms of fire release, Hoshita Shuichi has reached an extremely high level of attainment.
After obtaining the [Ninjutsu Doctor] talent, he can use ordinary fire-style ninjutsu to produce extremely hot blue flames.
Although he has not yet achieved the level of [Master of Earth release] in Earth release, his ability in Earth release is not weak with the improvement of his talent and understanding through talents such as [Genius of Konoha], [Expert of Earth release], and [Doctor of Ninjutsu].
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Hoshita Shuichi came to the Hokage Building to find Sarutobi Shinnosuke to get the Spirit Transformation Technique.
"The art of spiritualization... the art that Senior Duan has mastered."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked curiously: "Shuichi, this technique is useless to you, right?"
As powerful as Hoshita Shuichi is, there is no need for him to use the Spiritualization Technique, which has such obvious weaknesses.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled honestly and said, "Captain, I studied this technique not for fighting, but for the spirit and soul. This is one of the essences of the human body and chakra."
"And I want this technique because I learned a forbidden technique from Minato teacher that specifically seals the soul, but the cost of that technique is too high, and I don't like it."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Shuichi, you are the only one who dares to say that."
"Wait a moment, I'll help you copy it."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Captain."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke waved his hand and turned to walk out.
Hoshita Shuichi waited quietly, and the honest words he had just said were more intended to be told to Sarutobi Hiruzen than to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
This is also the key to his ability to gain Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust, although he has many little tricks, such as targeting the Hokage's assistant and Root leader Danzo.
Because he has always shown his loyalty to the Third Generation and Konoha, and his sincerity towards his friends and relatives.
In addition to his relationship with Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Tsunade and others, as well as Jiraiya's recognition.
Who could be more virtuous than him?
Sarutobi Shinnosuke soon came back with a scroll. After obtaining the Spiritual Transformation Technique, Hoshita Shuichi left the Hokage Building, split into two clones, and took the ninjutsu home to study.
Hoshita Shuichi himself went to Orochimaru's experimental base, and on the way he created a shadow clone to go to Tsunade's side to start the construction of the experimental base.
The experimental base is located in Konoha Village. In addition to hiring some architects from Konoha Village, there are also several Konoha ninjas who are good at Earth release.
It's a pity that I don't have Wood Release, otherwise it would be very easy to build an underground base with civil engineering and wood engineering.
At Orochimaru's experimental base, after two months of separation, Hoshita Shuichi felt the changes in Orochimaru again.
The software transformation has gone even deeper!
While cleaning the experimental equipment, Orochimaru looked up at Hoshita Shuichi and said with a smile: "Shuichi-kun always surprises people!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and responded: "Master Orochimaru, thank you for the compliment!"
After Orochimaru put away his utensils, he asked, "Shuichi-kun, how about we make another deal?"
Hoshita Shuichi immediately knew that Orochimaru wanted to study the bloodline limit of the Third Kazekage, and thought for a moment before saying, "So what does Lord Orochimaru want to trade for?"
"Research data on Hashirama's cells."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Of course, it's not the one you already know, but the latest research of Danzo-sama."
Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but smile when he heard it: "Lord Orochimaru should know this. I will report this news to the Third Hokage, right?"
Orochimaru nodded, but he didn't care at all: "Of course, but the experiment has actually failed."
The experiment failed? So Yamato, or Tenzo, has appeared.
But did they give up on the research on Hashirama's cells? Hoshita Shuichi didn't believe it.
He remembered that Danzo also transplanted Hashirama's cells and achieved a balance with the three-magatama Sharingan.
The arm of Danzo was most likely the work of Orochimaru.
After careful consideration, Hoshita Shuichi said: "Limited to cells."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Okay."
Deal done!
Orochimaru wiped his hands and walked out, but soon returned with a large scroll.
This had been prepared a long time ago, and he was certain that Hoshita Shuichi would not refuse the deal.
Hoshita Shuichi was not polite. He took it and opened it to look at it. He was not trying to inspect the goods, but wanted to see how far Orochimaru had researched Hashirama's cells.
The information on Orochimaru is also very complete, with an overview at the beginning and a table of contents.
Just by looking at these two, Hoshita Shuichi already had a rough idea of what level Orochimaru's research had reached.
From this we can see that the reason why Yamato was able to survive was not only because of luck and his own physique, but also because Orochimaru had already conducted a very deep study on Hashirama's cells.
He had handled Hashirama's cells very cleverly so that they would not be as overbearing as in the first experiment.
This treatment directly reduces the activity of Hashirama cells.
"As expected of Uncle Snake!"
Hoshita Shuichi sighed secretly.
Orochimaru asked with a smile, "What do you think, Shuichi-kun?"
Hoshita Shuichi was happy to communicate: "What Master Tsunade and I are going to study just happens to coincide with what Master Orochimaru is doing with Hashirama's cells."
"You will treat Hashirama's cells to reduce their activity, while Lady Tsunade and I will find the secret to rapidly increase the activity of the cells, so as to develop a sufficiently powerful medical ninjutsu."
Although Orochimaru was not very interested in medical ninjutsu, he admired Hoshita Shuichi's idea, so he smiled and said, "This is indeed the right direction. The reason why Hashirama's cells are difficult to transplant successfully is that they are extremely active, and such activity requires a huge amount of energy to maintain."
"So most people simply can't withstand such power."
"Unfortunately, even though I weakened the activity of Hashirama's cells, it is still difficult for them to fuse with ordinary ninjas."
"The power of the first generation is truly beyond our reach!"
At this moment, Hoshita Shuichi could see the burning light in Orochimaru's eyes.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I think you can continue on this path, Lord Orochimaru."
"Of course, it only targets Wood Release."
Orochimaru listened and asked thoughtfully: "Oh? Shuichi-kun means to split the powerful life force of Wood Release and Hashirama's cells?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Because no one can bear it."
"Of course, according to speculation, without that powerful life force, Wood Release would just be Wood Release, an ordinary bloodline limit, and it would be difficult to reach the level of the first generation."
Orochimaru nodded, feeling a little disappointed. What he wanted was not Wood Release, or not ordinary Wood Release.
For him, completely eliminating the activity of Hashirama's cells would mean losing the value of the research.
