Saiyans in the Naruto world

"Orochimaru-senpai, did your experiment to increase chakra levels succeed?"

Carrot didn't stand on ceremony with Orochimaru and stated his purpose directly.

"Of course, it was already completed a long time ago."

"However, there are two methods: one is to directly implant the interstitial cells, and the other is to seal the tailless organ into the body."

The Tailless technique, conceived by Karot's ingenious ideas, is similar to the Heart-Absorbing Technique of Ren Woxing's team. However, instead of absorbing others' chakra, it stores one's own chakra within the Tailless body, which is then retrieved when needed. Theoretically, if one stores enough chakra, it's possible to rival the Tailed Beasts in chakra reserves.

Orochimaru, seeing that Karot had brought Kakashi here, knew Karot's purpose. He immediately forced Karot to make a choice.

"Kakashi, which one do you choose?"

Karot directly asked Karot, since this was Kakashi's business and he should make the choice himself.

Kakashi knew Orochimaru was insane, but he underestimated his level of madness; Orochimaru even possessed the genes of the First Hokage. However, after Karot's explanation, he understood. You think it's possible to leave something hidden there and expect future generations not to dig it up? The key is that some of the younger generation are troublemakers who love to stir up trouble. (Danzo, Sarutobi, Orochimaru)

Karot understood immediately when he saw Kakashi staring intently at the Hashirama cells. Hashirama Senju's reputation was simply too great; every ninja dreamed of becoming a god. With Hashirama cells, could he also become like the First Hokage?

"Orochimaru-senpai, how effective are these Hashirama cells?"

Now that he knew Kakashi's choice, Kakashi, as his older brother, naturally had to help him find out the truth.

"After experiments, we obtained a safe value for Hashirama cells, which can be used for human trials. The effect depends on the individual's integration level. Chakra levels will generally increase five to ten times, and the body's self-healing ability will also be enhanced."

Orochimaru explained the effects of Hashirama's cells one by one. Karot was quite satisfied with the results; a person's chakra reserves are very difficult to increase, like a fixed quantity—neither more nor less.

"I choose intercolumnar cells."

Kakashi said firmly that he now longed to become stronger, as his chakra reserves had been holding him back. Now, Karot was making up for this last weakness.

Orochimaru led Karot and Kakashi to a bed and gestured for Kakashi to lie down. After Kakashi lay down, Orochimaru's assistant, Kabuto, brought over a syringe.

"It might hurt a little, just bear with it."

Orochimaru gave a signal to Kabuto to begin the injection.

Kakashi watched helplessly as the cells in the syringe slowly entered his body. When all the cells were injected into Kakashi's body, he felt a churning sensation inside, with intense pain in every part of his body. The pain stimulated his brain, causing Kakashi to cry out involuntarily.

"Ah~".

Kakashi's face turned pale. If it weren't for four lab assistants holding his limbs down, he might have already resorted to self-harm. It was just too painful.

"Orochimaru-senpai, don't you have any painkillers or anything like that?"

Seeing Kakashi's pained expression, Karot asked Orochimaru, hoping to alleviate Kakashi's suffering.

What do you need this for?

Orochimaru looked at Karot with a puzzled expression. He only cared about the results of his experiments; what did it matter to him whether the test subjects lived or died? If it didn't work, he could just keep trying.

Hearing Orochimaru's reply, Karot realized his question had been futile. However, seeing his brother's pained expression, a sudden idea flashed in Karot's mind. He punched Kakashi in the head.

"bump."

Kakashi's eyes widened, and he fainted.

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone present off guard. However, without Kakashi's shouts, the laboratory became quiet.

"Sometimes violence can solve problems."

Carrot raised his fist and showed it off to the crowd.

Chapter 97 Becoming Stronger

Kakashi still didn't wake up during the night, so Karot decided to stay.

Just as Carrot was having a barbecue outside the lab, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Carrot, kneeling on one knee.

"Shisui, how many times have I told you? You don't need to be so polite next time we meet."

That's right, it was Uchiha Shisui who came out. Ever since he received Karot's order to observe the Uchiha clan, he had been working diligently and hadn't dared to take it lightly. Now that he had achieved results, he rushed over to report to Karot.

"Senior, Uchiha Kawa has disappeared."

"Huh? Who is he?"

"Uchiha Kawa is the grandson of the current Uchiha Grand Elder."

"Madara's judgment this time was quite high, choosing a direct descendant of the Uchiha clan. How long has he been missing?"

Carrot then asked.

"We left the village on a mission half a month ago. We were supposed to be back in ten days, but the entire team went missing. Until the night before last, Uchiha Kawa secretly came back to see the elder, and then left again in the middle of the night."

“I didn’t dare get too close, so I knew nothing about their conversation. You previously instructed me to monitor the Uchiha clan, but I was afraid it would disrupt your plans, so I didn’t follow Uchiha Kawa.”

Shisui told Carrot everything he had learned from monitoring the Uchiha clan over the past few days.

"You did well, Shisui. It was right that you didn't follow. The people behind Uchiha Kawa are not people you can handle."

Carrot approved of Shisui's approach, noting that an obedient subordinate is invaluable, especially one with considerable strength.

"Senior, there's just a minor problem."

The mere mention of "still water" told Carrot that things had changed, because "still water" would disrupt your original plans.

Seeing Shisui's hesitant expression, Carrot spoke directly.

"Tell me! What trouble are you in?"

"When I was monitoring the Grand Elder, Itachi tracked me down. I was so focused that I didn't notice that Itachi also knew about Uchiha Kawa's situation."

"And Itachi wants to see you."

After Shisui finished speaking, he looked up at Carrot. Because of him, Itachi, who was originally unrelated, had been caught up in the situation, and he was afraid that it would disrupt Carrot's plans.

"I thought it was something serious. Since he wants to see me, you should arrange a time! I still have to give you face, Zhishui."

This was the first time Shisui had made a request to Carrot. Logically and morally, Carrot should give Shisui face, since Shisui had been working diligently for Carrot, and his enthusiasm as an employee shouldn't be dampened.

"Come and have some with us."

Carrot invited Shisui, saying that eating alone and eating with someone are different experiences. Because even when you're showing off, you need someone to watch to feel satisfied with your performance. Carrot felt the same way; having someone watching your eating performance made the food taste even better.

The next morning, Karot woke up in his room and went to the lab to see his younger brother Kakashi. Karot watched as Kakashi was covered in feeding tubes, which provided nutrients to Kakashi's body.

Kakashi's physique looks slightly different from yesterday; he seems a bit stronger and taller, which is generally good for the team.

"Orochimaru-senpai, how long until Kakashi wakes up?"

For professional matters, ask professionals. Is there anyone more professional than Orochimaru?

"He could wake up at any time if things go smoothly, or in the next day or two if things go slowly. It mainly depends on the cell transformation of his team."

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Karot saw Kakashi's eyelids twitching. Sure enough, he could wake up at any moment.

"Kakashi, Kakashi, if you don't wake up now, when will you?"

Karot leaned down and whispered in Kakashi's ear.

Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly quite frightened by Karot's voice.

Karot excitedly hugged Kakashi's shoulders, happy that he had managed to wake Kakashi up.

Kakashi snapped out of his daze, and Karot's large face came into view. Without a word, he swung his fist directly at Karot's face.

It must be said that Karot's reaction speed was also impressive; he caught Kakashi's fist steadily with his hand.

"Snapped."

Karot caught Kakashi's fist with a muffled thud. Karot felt Kakashi's strength had increased. Holding Kakashi's hand, he sensed that the chakra within Kakashi's body was ten times greater than before, and felt that Kakashi's pain from yesterday was entirely worthwhile.

"I'm so heartbroken, Kakashi. I stayed here with you all night, and when you woke up, you slapped your beloved brother in the face without saying a word. My heart aches so much."

Carrot covered his heart with his other hand, feigning a hurt expression as he spoke to Kakashi.

"Yes, my dear brother, you knocked me out with one punch yesterday. I can still feel the spot where you hit me. And even though I was unconscious yesterday, I was still able to sense things. You weren't here all night, you only came this morning."

Kakashi uttered the words "one punch" through gritted teeth. One can only imagine the immense force Karot had used yesterday to force Kakashi to seek revenge the moment he woke up. Unfortunately, Kakashi still failed.

“This person is slandering me.”

Karot pointed at Kakashi with a trembling finger, his head still turning around as if asking someone to come out and testify for him.

Seeing that Kakashi was awake, Orochimaru didn't have time to watch the two brothers play around; his time was precious. He turned and left. The other researchers followed Orochimaru.

Carrot didn't care that his performance was unsuccessful. After all, failure is the mother of success. As long as he failed enough, he would succeed one day. The key was to have a good attitude.

How much longer are you going to hold my hand?

Kakashi's words brought Karot back to his senses. He released Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi braced himself with his hand, but to his surprise, the bed bent into a U-shape.

The two brothers stared at each other blankly. Kakashi looked completely innocent, saying, "This isn't my fault; it's just that the bed is of poor quality." Karot, on the other hand, knew the reason: Kakashi's power had increased, and he had inadvertently caused this.

Kakashi quickly realized that the extra power within him was something he couldn't fully control, which had caused this result.

"Looks like you can't go home yet, Kakashi."

Kakashi nodded meaningfully and said.

"Yes."
