Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"Don't worry! I could never accept such a flaw!" Zhang Shan chuckled. "That's why we need to do research! Maybe I can solve their problems? Then we can live forever while eating rice and noodles, wouldn't that be great?"

As he spoke, Zhang Shan took out a few ropes and tied the three vampires together. Ignoring their feelings, he laid them aside like pigs. Just as he was about to take out a scroll to seal the three, he realized that he had been suddenly dragged here by Minato and did not have any scrolls on him to store the contents.

"By the way, it seems that live creatures cannot be put into scrolls..."

She sighed softly and greeted Minato beside her, saying, "I'm going back now. Just release those people."

After saying that, he placed his hand on the three of them and disappeared instantly.

Minato scratched his head, suddenly feeling quite helpless. He had invited Zhang Shan over specifically to explore, so why did it turn into a speedrun?

"Let's go with Kushina next time... It seems like Kushina can't leave Konoha?"

very annoying.

Zhang Shan led the three directly back to his laboratory. The three were covered in blood, and bringing them home would make the yard dirty.

Bang bang bang!

Zhang Shan created more than ten shadow clones and released the seals on three vampires. Under the terrified gazes of the three, he put on white leather gloves and picked up an incomparably sharp chakra blade!

As for interrogation, we'll ask questions during the dissection, so it won't delay anything!

"No! No! No!!"

a few days later.

"Has Zhang Shan not come out yet?"

In the courtyard, Tsunade drank sake and asked a question.

"Not yet. I think he went out with Minato last time, and has been spending all his time in the lab ever since. Seriously, just washing his clothes all day is exhausting~" Hikaru said helplessly. Although he was complaining, there was no hint of resentment on his face, and there was even a little bit of pride.

"Sigh..." Tsunade sighed and got up to leave.

Since he took Nawaki to see the Third Hokage and told him about Nawaki's abilities, all news about Nawaki has been completely blocked. The Third Hokage even sent Konoha's White Fang to drop everything and become Nawaki's personal bodyguard, doing everything he could to protect Nawaki's safety.

Elder Danzo even suggested using the cells of the Nawaki tree for research, hoping to further unravel the secrets of Wood Release.

Researching Wood Release was not uncommon among Konoha's higher-ups. Starting with Tobirama, Konoha had never stopped investigating the secrets of Wood Release. Even though Hashirama had explicitly forbidden it, Tobirama was still secretly researching it in private.

Previously, Hashirama's body tissue was used for cell culture, and then the adaptation process began. Those who failed would be devoured by Hashirama's cells and turn into a white, unidentified object.

The probability of being engulfed and killed by the interstitial cells is currently as high as 100%!

That's right, no one can survive this experiment, whether they are from the Senju clan or anyone else; touching it means certain death!

Therefore, after a large number of living subjects died, Tobirama had no choice but to abandon the experiment, seal away the experimental data, and instruct future generations not to conduct the experiment again.

Of course, this is also because Tobirama did not conduct experiments on the Uchiha clan, otherwise he would have discovered that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan has the ability to neutralize Hashirama's cells.

On average, only a dozen or so three-tomoe gems are needed to suppress an arm created from Hashirama cells.

Closer to home.

When Tsunade learned that Danzo wanted to use Nawaki's cells for research, she was filled with resistance and immediately rejected his idea, saying that if he really wanted to do the research, she would do it herself, since she had her own laboratory anyway.

Tsunade came to Zhang Shan at this time because she wanted Zhang Shan to step forward and help her stabilize the Third Hokage and refuse Danzo's plan to restart the Wood Release laboratory.

Even if it is launched, we must keep this laboratory under our own control.

At least, Tsunade wouldn't use live subjects for experiments!

Not for now... right?

Chapter 100 Konoha Research Institute?

Just as Tsunade was about to leave, Zhang Shan casually walked out of the room, gently rubbing his stiff neck.

Upon seeing Tsunade, Zhang Shan was taken aback and asked, "Lady Tsunade, what brings you here?"

Tsunade's face lit up with joy, and she beckoned to Zhang Shan, saying, "You've come at just the right time! Come with me to find the old man; we have something to discuss."

As they were talking, he pulled Zhang Shan out of the house and headed towards the Hokage Building.

"Come back soon~" Xiao Guang said from the doorway.

On the way, Zhang Shan also learned the whole story from Tsunade.

“Researching Wood Release, huh? That’s really quite difficult,” Zhang Shan said, somewhat troubled.

"I'm not asking you to do research, I'm just looking for an excuse to appease Elder Danzo. I don't want to see anyone die because of compatibility with Nawaki's cells," Tsunade explained. "By the way, what have you been researching this past year? It seems like you're always in the lab, but you haven't produced any useful results."

"What do you mean there were no results? My results were quite impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan immediately perked up and said righteously, "In the past year, I have developed quite a few antidotes, which are all strategic items on the battlefield!"

"Oh? Where is that thing??"

"Give it all to Minato, and have him give it to the Third Hokage." Zhang Shan looked at Tsunade, somewhat incredulous that Tsunade didn't know about this.

During that year, he secretly revealed a little bit of information, such as obtaining some rapidly spreading and highly lethal viruses from scientist Zhang Shan. He casually mutated them with chakra and then gave them to Minato, who then gave them to the Third Hokage for use in foreign wars.

Otherwise, the third generation would have come to the lab in person long ago to see what kind of aircraft he was working on.

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Tsunade was stunned. She really hadn't received any information about these things.

"Well, this is good news. This way, we'll be more likely to get the Third Hokage to hand over Nawaki to us!" Tsunade said with a smile.

"Is Lady Tsunade planning to research Wood Release?"

"Emmm... well... that's a secret for now!" Tsunade turned around, winked at Zhang Shan, and gave him a mysterious smile.

This left Zhang Shan completely baffled, unable to understand what Tsunade was trying to do.

The two arrived at the Hokage's office, and to their surprise, Nawaki was there as well.

Upon seeing Zhang Shan, Sheng Shu happily ran over and said, "Master! You've finally come out of seclusion!"

Nodding to Rope Tree, Zhang Shan turned his gaze to the Third Generation.

The old man puffed on his cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke as he looked at the three of them, and chuckled, "I understand why you've come. Don't worry, I'll refuse Danzo. You can go and do what you want!"

The Third Hokage was always very lenient with his disciples; otherwise, Jiraiya would have been expelled by now.

So when the Third Hokage saw that Tsunade had brought Zhang Shan over, he immediately understood Tsunade's determination. He knew that she would never allow Danzo to restart human experiments, and even if she did, Tsunade intended to keep it in her own hands!

The Third Hokage did not object to this. It was better to let Tsunade take charge of the laboratory than to let this guy spend all his time gambling.

Moreover, with Zhang Shan in the lab, the Third Hokage was relatively at ease. Even if Zhang Shan didn't make any progress in Wood Release, he would definitely achieve results in other areas.

For example, the viruses that Zhang Shan handed over before were taken to the battlefield in Iwagakure, which greatly reduced the pressure on Konoha. They didn't have to do anything every day, just wait for people to die in Iwagakure.

This allowed the Third Hokage to experience some of the joy he had felt in Sunagakure before.

Having received the assurance from the Third Hokage, Tsunade smiled and said, "Then I'll set up my own research department! Don't forget to keep up with the funding, old man!"

"Hehehe! Got it."

Leaving the Hokage Building, Zhang Shan rested his head on his arms and said with a helpless expression, "I feel like I was just here to make up the numbers, there was absolutely no need for me to come all this way."

"Master, Master! Do you think I can get into the lab and become a researcher?" Rope Tree looked at Zhang Shan with hopeful eyes.

"No."

The cold words struck Rope Tree's young heart like ice and snow in the dead of winter, instantly making him wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Ah, my poor little brother..." Tsunade shook her head slightly, but she also agreed with Zhang Shan's statement; Nawaki was simply not cut out for scientific research, he was too stupid...

The three parted ways at the street corner. Zhang Shan wanted to go back to catch up on his sleep, so he declined Sheng Shu's invitation to go to his house to cultivate together.

After sending Nawaki home, Tsunade didn't linger. She went straight to Konoha Hospital, recruited several decent medical ninjas, and officially established the Konoha Research Institute.

After a busy afternoon, the paperwork was finally approved.

After carefully closing the door to the Hokage's office, Special Jonin Takita Hanako finally breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully patted her chest, and after a series of tumultuous swaying, she thought to herself, "How scary! Will Elder Danzo and the Third Hokage start fighting? Should I call Tsunade over?"

With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, just as she was struggling with her dilemma, the office door was pushed open again, and Danzo walked out with a gloomy expression. He ignored Takita Hanako, who was still there, and quickly left.

Turning her head, looking at the Third Generation who was puffing on a cigarette, Takita Hanako gave a dry laugh and carefully closed the door for him.

Although there were some minor obstacles along the way, the Konoha Research Institute was successfully established in the end, and now ninjas are helping with the construction.

When Zhang Shan woke up in Xiao Guang's arms, it was already a day later.

After breakfast in the living room, Zhang Shan asked, "Has anything happened during this time?"

"Hmm, does Iwagakure's surrender to Konoha count?"

"Of course forget it!"

"Also, the research institute that Tsunade set up has been built. She said that if you need it, you can go there and choose a room for yourself."

After leaving home, Zhang Shan planned to visit the Konoha Research Institute.

On the way, Zhang Shan muttered to himself, "Sure enough, as long as Nawaki doesn't die, the Sannin of Konoha won't give up and will always manage to cause some trouble!"

The Konoha Research Institute was located to the north, two kilometers away from Konoha. Zhang Shan leaped along, and soon a three-story building that looked like a hospital came into view.

Tsunade stood at the entrance of the research institute, nodding with satisfaction, clearly very pleased with the institute.

After landing, Zhang Shan said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, I've come to report for duty!"

Turning around, Tsunade put her arm around Zhang Shan's shoulder and said excitedly, "Zhang Shan! We'll be working here from now on! Just let me know if you need any equipment, and I'll provide it all!"

Zhang Shan struggled out of Tsunade's milky white snow-white clothes and said awkwardly, "I understand, Lady Tsunade. I'll go in and check the room first."

After saying that, he fled as if he were escaping.

Watching Zhang Shan's retreating figure, Tsunade laughed nonchalantly, "This kid, he's actually shy? Hahaha!"

Although Tsunade is not as magnificent as she will be in the future, she is already far beyond ordinary people. When she hugged Zhang Shan just now, Zhang Shan felt like his head was sinking into her. This is a feeling that neither Hikaru nor Konan can give him now. It's too exciting!

"However, my Xiaoguang and Xiaonan will not be bad in the future either!" Zhang Shan thought to himself.

As for taking Tsunade in?

Zhang Shan hadn't considered this yet. Facing this older sister, no matter what he said, she wouldn't care, and might even tease him maliciously. Apart from getting some benefits, it wouldn't serve any purpose.

……

Taking advantage of some perks doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Chapter 101 is really a headache.
