After leaving the cemetery, Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka came to Konoha Hospital together.
After a morning of saving lives and treating the wounded, Hoshita Shuichi has completely gotten over the impact of Akimichi Shigeiwa's death.
After lunch, Hoshita Shuichi came to Orochimaru's experimental base with a medical scroll.
However, Orochimaru was not here, and Hoshita Shuichi was not surprised about this.
Orochimaru also has a mission to carry out.
He found the experimental data from when he was away and went through it first. After he had an idea in mind, Hoshita Shuichi opened the scroll he brought with him, and then unsealed it. He took out a total of three pieces of four-tailed beast meat that were at least the size of a human head that Sarutobi Shinnosuke had collected for him before, and then found the glass jar, prepared the potion, and stored it first.
The next step is to use instruments to observe the cells of the four tails.
"It's amazing!"
"It's been away from the body for so long, but its activity is still so strong."
Hoshita Shuichi was secretly surprised.
Next, he observed and analyzed the DNA of the four tails, and then compared it with the DNA of apes.
"It is most similar to gibbons..."
Hoshita Shuichi recorded silently, and then continued with his observations or small experiments.
These are actually imitations of Orochimaru's research on the Eight-Tails cells.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was night.
Orochimaru appeared at the experimental base and smiled after seeing the four-tailed meat in the glass jar: "Although I already knew the news, after seeing the trophy, I still couldn't help but marvel at Shuichi-kun's excellence."
Without even turning his head, Hoshita Shuichi said, "Lord Orochimaru, if you have time to marvel, you might as well get into the experiment."
"Although the tailed beasts have similarities, they are also very different. At least the power they display is very different."
"Master Orochimaru, don't you want to study Lava Release?"
Orochimaru smiled broadly, "Of course!"
"The Sand Village inherited the Magnetic Release through the study of the One-Tail."
Having said that, Orochimaru quickly made preparations and then got busy with Hoshita Shuichi.
Orochimaru had experience in studying the Eight-Tails, so he was adept at dealing with the Four-Tails, and Hoshita Shuichi soon became his assistant.
But he also enjoyed it.
Now Orochimaru is his experience pack.
In a blink of an eye, it was 9 o'clock in the evening and Hoshita Shuichi left the experimental base and went home.
On the second day, apart from the most basic physical exercise and physical training that could not be replaced by shadow clones, he spent most of his time in the experimental base.
When practicing ninjutsu, or even learning sealing techniques from Uzumaki Kushina, one would use shadow clones or crow clones.
The days in the laboratory are boring.
But every discovery is exciting and thrilling.
Hoshita Shuichi gradually came to like this feeling, so much so that he even forgot about the eating contest.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed and November is coming to an end.
In the experimental base, Hoshita Shuichi, who was doing cell culture, was suddenly stunned.
There is movement in the talent tree!
Hoshita Shuichi took a look and found that the conditions for lighting up the talent "Stand-in Expert" had been met without him noticing.
This talent is closely related to [Doppelganger Expert].
Except for the most basic substitution technique, the others are basically related to the clone technique.
For example, earth substitute, water substitute...if you master various clone techniques, then you can quickly take down the substitute technique.
On the contrary, as for the [Expert in Instant Body Movement], Konoha has the Water Instant Body Movement, but does not have the Lightning Instant Body Movement, Earth Instant Body Movement, etc.
So Hoshita Shuichi put in more energy.
However, when looking at the talent [Stand in Expert], Hoshita Shuichi thought of Killer Bee.
He remembered that when Killer Bee was defeated by Amaterasu in the duel with Uchiha Sasuke, he used a tentacle to transform into a clone, replacing his original body to be captured by Uchiha Sasuke.
At that time, Uchiha Sasuke had the Mangekyō, but he couldn't see through it.
"This could actually be a good research point."
Thinking of showing off under the stars, I light up the talent [Stand-In Expert].
The Stand talent is increased by 100%, and any Stand technique can be performed without any seal.
"Huh?"
Hoshita Shuichi, who had just lit up [Stand-in Expert], discovered that there were two more unlit leaves on the talent tree.
Hoshita Shuichi checked it out immediately.
Term: [Master of Stand-in]
Acquisition conditions: Through studying the Eight-Tails, a substitution technique similar to the Eight-Tails was developed.
Effect: The talent of the stand is increased by 100%. Strengthening a designated body part can increase it by 100%. There is nothing in the world that cannot be used as a stand. As a master of the stand, you can see through other people's tricks when they use stand-ins in front of you.
Hoshita Shuichi was shocked when he saw the information in the talent "Leaves".
Designating a body part for strengthening can improve it by 100%. Hey! This is awesome!
Too bad you can only choose one part.
Let's look at the second talent.
talent: [Master of Clone]
Acquisition conditions: Through studying the Eight-Tails, he developed a clone technique similar to the Eight-Tails' use of tentacles to create clones.
Effect: Mental power is increased by 100%. Nothing in the world cannot be used to clone someone. As a master of clones, you can also see through any clone technique.
Hoshita Shuichi was very surprised: "It was all triggered by the Eight-Tails. It's really confusing."
He had previously thought that developing the crow clone would trigger the [Master of Clone] talent, but it didn't happen.
"Use part of your body to perform the clone technique, as a substitute..."
Hoshita Shuichi was lost in thought until he was awakened by the appearance of Orochimaru.
"Are you having a problem?"
Orochimaru asked with concern.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "No, it's just that an interesting idea suddenly came to me."
Orochimaru was very impressed: "What a vibrant age!"
Hoshita Shuichi complimented: "Lord Orochimaru, your brain is still very young."
Orochimaru did not comment and asked, "What do you think about the Four-Tails Cell?"
"Like catching some monkeys for experiments?"
Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and asked, "I looked at the experimental records. When Orochimaru was researching the Eight-Tails, he also used various animals with similar DNA to experiment with it, but without exception, they could not withstand it."
Orochimaru nodded: "Yes, the tailed beasts are too powerful, just like..."
He paused and continued, "Even ninjas have a hard time withstanding the power and evil of the tailed beasts, and it's certainly even harder for ordinary animals."
"Unless you select the best from the best and continuously optimize and train them into summoning beasts, there may be a chance that they can merge with the power of the tailed beasts."
Hoshita Shuichi said after hearing this: "If that's the case, then there's no need to do such an experiment."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "But there is still a certain chance. Shuichi-kun, are you really not going to try?"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head firmly: "Lord Orochimaru, since this direction is very slim, I think it is better to change another direction."
"oh?"
Orochimaru immediately gave up trying to persuade him and asked with great interest, "It seems that Shuichi-kun has gained something else?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "It's just an idea at the moment, but I have a request, I hope Lord Orochimaru can agree to it."
Orochimaru asked, "You want the cells of the Eight-Tails?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Yes, in exchange, I will only keep a part of the meat of the Four-Tails for experiments, and the rest can be given to you, Lord Orochimaru."
"I have already told the Third Hokage about this matter. The experiment this time is mainly carried out by you, Orochimaru. So it is only natural that the Four-Tails meat will be left to you to handle."
Orochimaru smiled meaningfully and said, "It seems that Shuichi-kun has been prepared for a long time."
Hoshita Shuichi spread his hands: "After all, it is the Eight-Tails. I have fought against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before."
"I agree to this deal."
Orochimaru agreed immediately.
He did need the four tails' cells to take to other experimental bases to conduct some other experiments.
The deal was done.
However, he was interrupted today, so Hoshita Shuichi simply ended his experimental research temporarily and left the experimental base.
Walking in Konoha's bustling night market, Hoshita Shuichi thought about Orochimaru's suggestion to him just now: "Is this a step to lead me to human experiments?"
"First animal testing, then human testing..."
Hoshita Shuichi is not against animal experiments, but he is not a saint.
It is very normal to use mice, monkeys and other animals for experiments, and it does not violate human ethics.
But human experiments, especially uncontrolled human experiments, are undoubtedly cruel.
"However, the road of animal experiments is slim, so we have to study Lava Escape from another angle."
Hoshita Shuichi thought secretly: "Either cultivate a small four-tailed beast to obtain the lava release chakra and study the chakra."
"Or learn from Kinkaku and Ginkaku."
Kinkaku and Ginkaku of the Cloud Ninja ate the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails and thus obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra. The most important thing is that they were able to endure it.
But I guess the bloodline of these two guys is not simple either, you can tell from the looks of it.
It is not unreasonable that the Second Hokage was killed by their elite troops. After all, if the Second Hokage had no intention of escaping, any accidents could happen during the battle.
Thinking that Hoshita Shuichi had unknowingly arrived at the Konoha Hospital, he immediately collected his thoughts and walked in.
"Huh?"
Seeing Hoshita Shuichi, Shizune was startled at first, then overjoyed: "Shuichi, you're here like this?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and greeted them: "Come and see you."
"Why are you still in the hospital so late?"
Shizune smiled and said, "Tsunade-sama is still in the hospital doing research with Nono-san!"
Hoshita Shuichi suddenly realized, then pulled Shizune and said with a smile: "Then let's go and take a look!"
Shizune nodded quickly, "Yeah!"
The two of them immediately strolled to Tsunade's office, and sure enough, they saw Tsunade and Yakushi Nono sitting in front of a scroll, frowning and thinking.
Hoshita Shuichi pushed the door open and went in.
Tsunade heard the voice and said impatiently: "I've already told you not to bother me unless it's something important!"
What a terrible temper!
Hoshita Shuichi secretly complained, completely forgetting how respectful he was when he needed someone.
"Shuichi!"
Yakushi Nono smiled when he saw Hoshita Shuichi.
Tsunade turned around and said with a curled lip, "Finally you've decided to come out of Orochimaru's laboratory."
Hoshita Shuichi didn't care about Tsunade's attitude and smiled: "Of course, Lady Tsunade is the first in my heart, and Lord Orochimaru should be ranked behind."
Tsunade felt much better after hearing this, but her face was still unhappy. She snorted and said, "You are so smooth-talking."
Hoshita Shuichi pretended not to hear and walked forward to look at the spells and rituals on the scroll: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Yakushi Nono nodded: "The technique needs to be accurate to every cell. This is too difficult and the mental pressure is too great."
Hoshita Shuichi agreed with what he heard.
His mental willpower was enhanced when he obtained [Perception Expert] before, and this time he was able to refine chakra to the level of every single cell.
Before that, his physical condition had improved several times, and his thinking speed, nerve reaction speed, memory, and chakra control had also been greatly improved.
These are more or less related to spirit and the refining of chakra.
The technique developed nowadays is even more bidirectional, capable of extracting and controlling chakras down to the level of a single cell.
There is also chakra distribution.
To put it simply, the technique that Tsunade is currently developing requires the establishment of a dual channel between the Yin Seal and each of her own cells.
One is to refine the chakra and enter the Yin Seal, and the other is that the chakra of the Yin Seal reaches every cell, which is specially prepared for medical ninjutsu.
Since the purpose is to be able to quickly and seamlessly heal any part of the body when it is seriously injured, it is necessary to build a separate high-speed channel.
Hoshita Shuichi asked himself if he could do it now.
Controlling and allocating chakra is much more difficult than simply refining chakra.
