Chapter 139: Wood Release Experiment Begins!
Inside the Wood Release Laboratory.
"All ninjas who volunteer to participate draw number plates. You will be injected with different doses of Wood Release Cells according to the number plates you draw..."
"This test will be divided into seven batches! The number of people in each batch varies. We will record the data at any time and make adjustments at the same time. At the same time, the data of each person is different..."
The masked Anbu ninja conveyed the message indifferently, and these great ninjas who were willing to sacrifice themselves for Konoha nodded firmly after hearing it.
However, Tsunade, who was performing the final Wood Release experiment, sat silently behind the glass studio.
"It's not too late to regret now!"
As Tsunade's cold voice echoed, the seven burly Senju clan members behind her all showed determination.
"We would like to participate!"
"Lady Tsunade, we have already drawn the numbers. The closer we are to the end, the higher the chance of success, right?"
Seven batches! Corresponding to the seven Senju jonin who participated in the Wood Release Test.
Looking at the seven determined clansmen, Tsunade couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression. Although she needed to make choices among them, they were still her clansmen.
To be honest, they didn't do much wrong. They were just obsessed with the glory of the Senju clan and wanted to revive the family.
"Lady Tsunade, we would like to ask, is the success rate of this experiment really that low!?"
They have all entered the laboratory and made a decision, so naturally some people asked questions that they had in mind.
Looking at her people, Tsunade sighed tiredly and shook her head:
"The time is too short. The power of bloodline has been studied by people since the development of the ninja world. Even my second grandfather has studied it. Why do you think that you can surpass your predecessors in just two years of research?"
Under Tsunade's self-deprecating smile, one of the middle-aged Thousand Hands Ninja said in a deep voice:
"No! We don't think that the village's two years of research will surpass our predecessors, but we believe in the legacy left by the Second Hokage and countless predecessors, and we believe in Tsunade-sama's medical ninjutsu!
So the reason why we dare to fight is not because of these two years, but because of the experience of countless predecessors that Tsunade-sama has built on! "
The accumulation of the Senju clan and the legacy that the Second Hokage had studied, all of these are the experiences accumulated by countless predecessors.
After seeing the confidence of her tribe members, Tsunade fell silent and said quietly after a while:
"You are right, but the time is too short. If the Wood Release Cells want to make progress, it will take at least three to five years. This is just progress, not success. Your chance of survival this time is less than one percent!"
Tsunade told them directly the cruelty of the data, but the seven of them smiled.
"Lady Tsunade, the power of bloodline is also known as forbidden power! We are well prepared."
Looking at this group of stubborn tribesmen who were determined to fight back, Tsunade shook her head and sighed. She had already made her last attempt to retain them.
It's hard to persuade the damn ghost!
Until night fell, in the closed house, one by one, the Konoha ninjas took a deep breath and entered the secret room.
At the same time, above them, through the huge glass, Konoha's Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Root's Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu were looking at the experiment solemnly.
“I hope there will be a successful case. After all, two years is a huge investment!”
Seeing Mitomonen and Utane Koharu holding onto their lucky looks, Shimura Danzo said coldly:
"Failure is normal. What's important is to observe the reaction data of the Senju clan and ordinary ninjas. These data of countless failures are the treasures for future research."
Danzo Shimura has a deep obsession with the research of Wood Release Cells. It's just a few deaths, and there will be deaths in the ninja world every day.
Sacrifice is just a process of success. There would be no success without sacrifice.
"start!"
Following an order, the medical ninjas injected varying doses of medicine into the ninjas in the secret room below through instruments.
As time passed, some people began to curl up in pain, some screamed in agony, and some endured the pain and tried to fight it with their will.
"what!"
With a heart-wrenching scream, a Konoha ninja suddenly failed. Half of his pale body, which had been injected with Wood Release cells, was instantly pierced and turned into a terrifying tree.
"Wood…wood escape!"
When he saw the big tree appear, Danzo Shimura widened his eyes in shock. Wood Release really reappeared!
Although it was only a flash in the pan, wasn't this a good proof? As long as the difficulties were overcome, Wood Release would definitely appear.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu were also secretly shocked. Wood Release! This memory is sealed deep inside.
"Wood Release cells are out of control, devouring the body's chakra and turning into a tree. The dose this time is... time... blood analysis..."
"Number three failed! Swallowed by the tree..."
"Number six..."
As time passed bit by bit, until the sun rose in Konoha the next day, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became more and more solemn.
"Failed! All failed. Even the Senju clan's jonin didn't survive."
"Where's Tsunade? Where is Tsunade? Where is she at this critical moment!"
After seeing all the plans fail, Shimura Danzo angrily slammed the table, but an Anbu ninja respectfully reported:
"Lady Tsunade said that this experiment was a massacre. She has already left. Here are the experimental reports and data she left behind..."
When Shimura Danzo was about to say something, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, sighed, and waved his hand:
"Danzo, that's enough. This is Tsunade's personality. Besides, the research has come to this point. It doesn't matter whether Tsunade is here or not. The people below can also do a good job of regulating the dosage..."
The Wood Release experiment plan is still in progress. In addition to the volunteer ninjas from Konoha, there are also many spies captured from the Root and the Anbu.
Seven batches of experiments took several months to bring the massacre to an end.
……
Konoha, tavern.
In the elegant box, Tsunade held up the wine glass gracefully and drank one glass after another.
"Sister Tsunade, this is not the way to drink. You need to talk about your troubles, then drinking will be more enjoyable."
Faced with Tsunade's alcoholism, Uchiha Ye did not urge her to drink. People have too many troubles in their lives, and sometimes they need to vent.
Drinking might not help, but it was better than holding it in.
Tsunade smiled when she saw that Uchiha Ye not only did not urge her to drink, but instead allowed her to express her inner annoyance.
"Ye, you know, this is what I admire most about you. Unlike some people, I will only say that this is wrong and cannot be done..."
Tsunade said with a smile while holding up her wine glass, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
After drinking a glass of wine, Tsunade shed tears in the closed box. She drank and cried like a little girl, and vented her frustration from time to time.
"You know what! I can accept the bloodshed on the battlefield, I can accept the dirty political tactics, and I can even accept all kinds of despicable tactics used by ninjas on both sides, because this is what a ninja is!
But the Wood Release experiment! I, Tsunade, am the person in charge, and I clearly know that this is a massacre! But those old guys actually let so many of their companions go to gamble on the pitiful odds... Aren’t these spies and enemy ninjas enough..."
Tsunade was crying, and countless blood splashed before her eyes, which made her feel a little overwhelmed, as if she had harmed those people.
"I have really tried very hard. I have been researching and developing for the past two years. I have tried my best, but I really have no other choice. The power of the Wood Release Cells is too strong. I have tried every possible way to counterbalance this special energy...
I even tried poisons and summoned beast cells, but all failed without exception..." After Tsunade finally cried in his arms, Uchiha Ye calmly comforted her and acted as a listener, but he sighed in his heart, maybe Konoha is really lucky.
Just as Tsunade said, this was a gamble with extremely small chances, but Konoha actually won the bet!
But these old guys don’t know yet that the future Wood Release Ninja Yamato is the product of this chance.
"Yamato?! According to Tsunade, Orochimaru has already left Konoha, which means the Root's Wood Release test has been shut down, and there has indeed been no chakra activity sensed in that area recently."
Just as Uchiha Ye was deep in thought, the drunk Tsunade began to speak ventingly.
"Ye! If only you and I were ordinary people, I would allow you to take those two little stinky girls of Kushina with you..."
After watching Tsunade in his arms speak out her inner thoughts after getting drunk, Uchiha Ye smiled, gently stroked her long golden hair, and said softly:
"It's a pity that we are not ordinary people, and being an ordinary person in this world will only make us more pitiful."
Wood Release Ninja Yamato! Let this be his formal gift to face Tsunade!
Uchiha Ye showed a determined look. After learning the Kisara technique, he must collect the Wood Release, Uzumaki and other bloodlines to become a low-profile version of the Otsutsuki.
After all, this is not only a symbol of power, but also a path to immortality.
The body of the Cursed Sage of Jūgo can be hidden as the second bloodline, and some of White Zetsu's abilities can also be hidden, but some of the later bloodlines cannot be hidden.
"Wood Release Ninja Yamato? Maybe you should thank me later."
As if he had thought of something, Uchiha Ye smiled. If he was going to use his strength, he would use it honorably!
He must use the power of Wood Release honorably, and now is the perfect opportunity to clear himself of everything.
"I'm sorry, this is the last time."
Stroking the golden hair, Uchiha Ye gave an apologetic smile and gently tapped Tsunade's forehead.
……
A few days later, in the Hokage's office.
"Did you fail again?"
Looking at the Anbu kneeling on one knee to report below, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, sighed with a heavy expression.
"Anbu keep watching. No one is allowed to take away any information. If there is any progress in the experiment, take the person away immediately no matter who he is!"
"Yes!"
After the Wood Release experiment began, three Anbu teams were on standby in the Hokage's office building, ready to protect the Wood Release ninjas at any time.
Even if this person is the Senju, he will never allow such an unstable factor to remain in Konoha.
Unfortunately, the Anbu were on standby, as were Danzo's Root.
The appearance of Wood Release is unusual, even if there is only a small chance!
After all, before Yamato appeared, in their perception, Wood Release was the kind of power that could destroy the world, restrain the tailed beasts, and pacify troubled times.
"Hokage-sama, the Hatake jonin has returned with his team!"
Just then, a Root member appeared in the office and delivered information about Hatake Sakumo.
However, this time, facing Hatake Sakumo's information, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head, without even glancing at it, and said in a deep voice:
"Go back and tell Danzo that the Wood Release experiment is the most critical now!"
The Third Hokage did not receive the information from Hatake Sakumo, and the Root seemed to have received instructions long ago. They nodded respectfully and then disappeared in the Hokage's office.
Looking at the empty office and the depressing atmosphere, Sarutobi Hiruzen took several puffs of his pipe before slowly exhaling.
When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw his own portrait on the Hokage Rock through the window, his eyes gradually became firm.
"Teacher! The ninja world is in turmoil. The village can't stand any more turmoil at this time. If it were you, you would definitely understand that all this is for the village!"
From the perspective of the Third Hokage, the bloodline families are too powerful and are a complete challenge to the authority of the Hokage. At a time of turmoil in the ninja world, White Fang appears.
It is indeed true that it will only bring turmoil to the village!
But this is just his perspective! From the perspective of the bloodline clan, the original purpose of establishing and joining Konoha was to gather together for warmth.
So now you say we are too strong?
There is never any real right or wrong between the two sides. The only mistake is that the strength is not strong enough!
If the Third Hokage had the First Hokage, no! Even if he had the strength of the Second Hokage, he would not regard these wealthy families as the source of unrest.
If any wealthy family had a ninja like Tobirama Senju, they would not let Sarutobi Hiruzen sit on the position of Hokage.
……
root.
"are you back!"
Looking at the information in his hand, Danzo Shimura remained silent, then nodded slightly.
"Proceeds as planned."
"Yes!"
In the dark Root base, Shimura Danzo was silent for a while, and finally he muttered to himself hoarsely:
"Hatake Sakumo! It's a pity that you are just a ninja and can't see the situation of the ninja village clearly. You insist on joining forces with these big families. The Warring States era when the big families ruled is long gone.
"You powerful and wealthy families will only become a hindrance to the village. Now it's the world of ninjas! You should never stand on the side of the big families!"
When he said this, Danzo Shimura revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
"Hiruzen is right. The world of civilian ninjas is dominated by civilian ninjas. As long as the power of the family is controlled within a certain range, both sides will benefit. Once your family rises up, countless civilian ninjas will be the first to be impacted!"
"There are over ten thousand civilian ninjas in Konoha now! How many ninjas from your clans are there?"
In this deformed ninja world, the stronger the ninja, the more resolute their will is, and they all have their own persistence that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for.
Right and wrong are never one-sided.
There are two choices. No matter which one you choose, you will make corresponding mistakes. Even if you don’t choose anything, you will still make mistakes!
"But for now, let's focus on the Wood Release Plan!"
Thinking of this, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but tightly grasp the information of the Wood Release experiment with both hands, with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"When any experiment reaches a bottleneck, brute force is needed to break it. Otherwise, following the steps will be too slow! Konoha can't wait!"
Looking at the Wood Release information, Danzo Shimura showed a sinister smile. The village has invested so many resources, it will not fail!
It won’t work this time. He will do more research when he has the chance in the future. He must not waste the village’s resources.
