Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 156 New Cell Fusion, I Don't Want to Become a Widow (10,000-word chapter)

As Yuri looked at the letter in her hand, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Ever since Orochimaru's defection, he has been silently preparing and waiting for Hiruko's message, eagerly anticipating the technique that could change his fate.

But three years have passed, and he's become Hokage, yet he still hasn't received any information.

To be honest, if no more information comes in, Yuzhi is considering whether she should take matters into her own hands and have a heart-to-heart talk with Orochimaru!

Fortunately, although Orochimaru's methods were outrageous, he still managed to get the information over with him.

Moreover, this guy seems to be tracking Hiruko, which undoubtedly means that Hagoromo is getting closer and closer to the technique he has been longing for.

"What's wrong?"

Although her face was flushed from being pinched by Yuzhi, she couldn't help but feel curious when she saw Yuzhi looking at Shin in silence.

"Good news. The promise Orochimaru owed me has now been fulfilled."

Hagoromo laughed, handed the letter to Hikaru, and then said with a smile.

"Do you remember what I told you about relying on bloodline limits to enhance one's bloodline?"

"Of course I remember. Could this person be the key?"

Hikaru was also a little curious. The idea of ​​using bloodline limits to enhance bloodlines was peculiar, but it proved to be very effective.

Having already possessed two bloodline limits, and being on the verge of developing the bloodline limit "Emperor's Decree" due to her abnormal talent, she has a deep understanding of this.

As for her talent for light, even Yuri truly didn't know where her limits lay.

Because every time a bloodline limit is developed, in addition to improving the bloodline, it is essentially a process of squeezing out one's own potential.

Developing one bloodline limit is already the limit for most people, and Mei having two bloodlines is extremely rare.

But to have reached this point through development alone is simply unbelievable. This is why Yuzhi keeps marveling at her talent; it's almost inhuman!

"Yes, one of his techniques is key."

While still rubbing her hands, Yuzhi smiled and spoke.

"Although this technique has many problems in my opinion, there is a lot of room for improvement. If it is operated properly, it should be able to achieve the effect we want."

"At that time, I think we will be able to truly complete the fusion of all chakra natures, and even the bloodline limits we have mastered."

Interestingly, this world hasn't completely cut off the path for ordinary people to reach the pinnacle. Even though it's fraught with difficulties, it has at least left a path for fusing chakra.

Sometimes, even Yuri couldn't help but complain, "Is this thing supposed to be 'leaving a sliver of hope'?"

But regardless of whether it is true or not, at least there is a path; how to walk it is up to each individual to choose.

"Is that so?"

Hikaru had no idea what Haori was thinking, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but nod slightly.

"That's definitely something to look forward to..."

"There are things to look forward to, and that's not all there is to it."

Yuzhi was in a great mood, and he held up his finger and gently shook it in the light.

"And Kabuto's experiment, if successful, we may gain new power, even if this power cannot be used for the time being, it will at least be a foundation."

With this foundation, combined with everything within ourselves, and with the help of some meaningful forces, we can achieve our goals.

Not only can we continue to move forward, but you too can truly possess the same power as me.

Although I've always felt that we've always moved forward side by side, I also respect your thoughts, and I think your long-cherished wish will be fulfilled in time.

Haori smiled brightly, and Hikaru's face also lit up with a smile.

Walking side by side, that's Hikari's biggest thought right now. She absolutely cannot allow herself to fall behind Haori; she wants to stand in front of Haori!

And Yuzhi always remembered these things, just like how your girlfriend once wanted to destroy the world, and he did it in his own way.

"It may have been a bit much, but you're truly the only one who understands me..."

Looking at the haori in front of her, Hikaru felt a warm glow in her heart, but slowly she began to feel that something was wrong.

"I possess the same power as him, so wouldn't that mean he can...?"

Thinking of this, Guang blushed instantly. Looking at the guy who was still staring at her feet and constantly touching her, she closed her eyes in embarrassment and indignation.

"Why is your mind filled with such lewd nonsense, you awful guy..."

It's hard to say whether Hagoromo's mind is full of lewd thoughts, but after learning that Orochimaru had found Hiruko, he also began to seriously train in Yin-Yang Release with Hikaru.

The practice and fusion of Yin-Yang Escape is far more troublesome and difficult than Yuzhi imagined.

Perhaps because Yin-Yang Escape, like Immortal Arts, is a power that can be used even at the Six Paths level, its difficulty of use is far beyond imagination.

Even though Yuri possessed Obito's Six Paths Technique, Yin-Yang Training, and Madara Uchiha's Yin-Yang Release talent, he still found it incredibly difficult to learn and attempt to integrate them.

Although chakra is essentially a combination of physical and mental strength, which seems similar to the fusion of Yin and Yang Release, the differences are actually quite significant.

Even someone as gifted as Yuzhi struggled with such a fusion, but fortunately he was mentally prepared.

Moreover, he discovered that the light seemed just as bewildered as he was about this fusion, which made him feel even more at peace.

"It seems I'm not the only one facing this problem."

Yuzhi felt a mischievous smirk, but after a week, he didn't have time to laugh anymore, because people from Kirigakure and the Land of Rain had already arrived in Konoha.

Not only them, but also people from Kumogakure and Iwagakure rushed over.

The negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure and Iwagakure had already ended, but it wasn't Yuuki who, as Hokage, completed this task.

This was one of the last things Minato accomplished during his tenure, so Yuuki naturally had no interest in undermining his policies.

"Let's go check on these two. They've been locked up for so long, it's about time they were released."

Yuzhi muttered to herself, and then simply led the Anbu towards Konoha's prison.

Inside the Konoha prison, Onoki and the Fourth Raikage are still bound by chakra-sealing devices, remaining Konoha's prisoners and detainees.

As a Shadow, being imprisoned by a village for so long was indeed humiliating enough, and they were extremely unhappy at first.

Konoha neither subjected them to any kind of "controversial trial" nor showed any intention of releasing them, which left the two of them quite puzzled.

Fortunately, they maintained their composure as shadows and didn't make a scene. After all, things had already come to this, so it was better not to embarrass themselves any further.

"Old Ghost, do you think the village has replaced you?"

Although the Fourth Raikage lost an arm and was locked up here every day, he couldn't even do basic training or practice, so he could only talk to pass the time.

"Hmph, instead of worrying about the problems of Iwagakure, you should worry about yourself."

Onoki snorted coldly. He didn't know what was going on outside, so he simply replied indifferently.

"I'm too old for this, so it's only natural that I'd be replaced. But you, if you were replaced, you'd have nothing left."

"Hmph, that's why I left Killer Bee in the village, and with Tsuchiktai watching over him, I'm not afraid at all."

The Fourth Raikage shook his head indifferently, looking at Onoki with a mocking expression.

"But you, you're so old and frail, yet you still lost so badly and suffered such heavy losses."

"And I've heard that many people in your village dislike you. Given your current situation, your granddaughter might even be killed when you go back!"

"You bastard, you want to fight?"

"Come on, I can kill you with my head alone, without using my hands or feet. Want to try?"

Onoki was thoroughly annoyed by the Fourth Raikage. He couldn't understand why this bastard talked so much nonsense.

Besides, this guy is strong and healthy, while I am old and sick. It seems like I can't even beat him by headbutting him.

"Um?"

But just then, the cell door made a soft sound and then it was opened.

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly heard another voice.

"Lord Hokage, this way please."

The Hokage has arrived?

Onoki and the Fourth Raikage exchanged a glance and immediately sat up straight. Although they didn't know what the final outcome would be, they absolutely couldn't lose face in front of the other Kage!

However, when the figure slowly emerged from the darkness, both Onoki and the Raikage looked over, and the next moment they were both stunned.

"Uchiha Haori?"

Both of them couldn't help but speak, because the man in front of them, wearing the Hokage robe and holding the Hokage hat, was not Minato Namikaze, but Haori!

This stunned them both, and they were even a little dazed at the moment. What on earth was going on?

"Yes, it's me."

Seeing the puzzled and bewildered expressions on their faces, Yuzhi couldn't help but smile and nod.

"What's going on? Isn't your Konoha's Hokage Minato Namikaze?"

The Fourth Raikage, being rather straightforward, asked directly with a puzzled look, while Onoki also looked over with a strange expression.

"Minato-senpai was indeed the Hokage of Konoha, but he was the Fourth Hokage."

Yuzhi shook his head slightly, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.

"You two have been imprisoned for a long time, so it's normal that you don't know what's happening outside. But is it strange that I became the Fifth Hokage?"

A long time?

Fifth Hokage?

Upon hearing Yuri's words, Onoki and the Fourth Raikage looked even more bewildered and astonished. Had Konoha already changed to a Fifth Hokage?

So, how long exactly have they been locked up?

Why don't I feel anything at all?

Isn't being in prison supposed to feel like an eternity? How come they've turned it around and it feels like an eternity?

What the hell is it tonight?!

At this moment, they were completely bewildered.

"Konoha is as wonderful as ever..."

On the streets of Konoha, Konan looked around, a complex mix of emotions swirling within her.

Konoha's environment is truly incomparable to that of the Land of Rain. Whether it's the environment, transportation, climate, or resources, it completely surpasses the Land of Rain in every aspect.

Especially looking at the bright sunshine in the sky, this is something that the Land of Rain simply cannot compare to.

"Forget it, that guy said that every place has its own unique locational advantages. The Land of Rain is different from the Land of Fire, so we can't force it."

Konan shook her head. This time, she had finally managed to persuade Nagato to come to Konoha, and she couldn't put all her energy into a place like this.

"And there are quite a few people coming to Konoha this time, from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and I've even heard from Kirigakure..."

It was indeed somewhat surprising that Kirigakure went to Konoha, after all, the hatred between the two villages was extremely deep.

But with "that guy's" help, Xiao Nan also realized one thing very clearly: as a leader of a country or village, one should never be controlled by emotions.

Even if you hate someone or despise them, as long as it benefits your village or country, there is still a possibility of cooperation.

"I just don't know what kind of person this Uchiha Haori is, and I still can't get in touch with 'that guy'..."

With slightly complicated thoughts, Konan led the group from the Land of Rain towards Konoha, guided by the Anbu's reception staff.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya, who had nothing to do, sat on a high-rise building and looked down at the scene below. When he saw Konan's back, his eyes widened instantly!

Wow! That figure, that body, she's definitely a beauty!

Jiraiya took a sip of sake, but quickly shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity, why are they from the Land of Rain? It would be so much better if they were from Konoha..."

"But why does her back view look so vaguely familiar?"

"Oh well, I guess I've just seen too many beautiful women, hahaha..."

-

"You really have a twisted sense of humor, actually playing those two for a fool."

In a teahouse, Hikari raised an eyebrow at Haori, already knowing how Haori had tricked Onoki and the Fourth Raikage.

Not only him, but probably everyone except the Third Hokage and others who are not in Konoha already knows about this.

It's one thing for Yuzhi to release the people, but she actually went and played a trick on them. No matter how you look at it, that's a bit too much.

However, Guang was different from the other consultants, who were genuinely struggling to keep their composure, but she just found it amusing.

After all, they were enemies. Not killing them was already quite lenient. Just playing around with them wasn't a big deal. At least, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that, after all, Yuki is now the Hokage, so sometimes she shouldn't be so childish.

"Don't worry, wouldn't it be better to let them feel like they've survived a disaster?"

Hagoromo knew what Hikaru was thinking, and he picked up his tea and smiled indifferently.

"Besides, with Minato leading them, they can go find Minato if they have any grievances. But I don't think they're that stupid; it's best for them to keep their grievances to themselves."

After Hagoromo released Onoki and the Fourth Raikage, he sent Minato to take the two of them away.

It has to be said that they are quite lucky; at least they are still in the shadows!

Although Onoki's situation was somewhat complicated, the appearance of "Uchiha Madara" allowed him to use his overwhelming power to sweep through the Iwagakure forces.

This extreme sense of oppression left an indelible mark on the Iwa ninja, and since most of the Iwa ninja's high-ranking members were elderly, they had all witnessed Madara Uchiha's power to varying degrees.

Therefore, after learning this information, rigorously interrogating the returning Iwa ninja, and conducting sufficient necessary on-site investigations, they...

They have always decided that Onoki should remain the Tsuchikage, because only his "Dust Release" has any chance of fighting against the so-called "Uchiha Madara"!

The situation with the Fourth Raikage is even simpler. He left Killer Bee and Tsuchida in the village, essentially to prevent Killer Bee from causing trouble again.

This move actually saved him. According to the report that Yuzhi has received, although the Cloud Village is not peaceful, the presence of these two people can still stabilize the situation.

The Raikage remained the Fourth Hokage; no Fifth Hokage was created.

"Luckily, Minato isn't that shameless, otherwise I, the Fifth Hokage, don't know how long I would have to wait."

Yuri couldn't help but think to herself, "As a Kage, it's really rare to see someone as thin-skinned as Minato."

"Don't sit like that, you're the Hokage, after all."

Seeing Yuzhi sitting there crookedly, Hikaru couldn't help but whisper a reminder. Then she glanced at some corners outside the teahouse and asked a question in a low voice.

"Aren't you going to let them come in and sit down?"

"Yes, yes, yes, my dear Hokage's wife."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi, who was deep in thought, pursed her lips and finally sat up straight.

Previously, he was just the head of the police department, so he could do whatever he wanted. But now, as the Hokage, his every word and action is under scrutiny.

So Yuzhi had no choice but to honestly try not to act too casually.

"I've already spoken to them, it's a pity."

After sitting up straight, he looked in the direction of the light, then shook his head helplessly.

"Apart from Asuma and Lynn, who are relatively relaxed, the other two are obviously still a bit unaccustomed to it. Let's take it slow."

The newly formed Shadow Guard team of Yuzhi is currently faithfully guarding the vicinity of where he and Guang are. Even if they were asked to rest, Kurenai and Aoba are clearly still a little hesitant.

Once Hong made a decision, Asuma would naturally follow. Seeing that the other three were doing the same, Lin had no choice but to follow as well. Clearly, she hadn't been a captain much and wasn't very good at handling such matters.

This situation is actually the most frustrating for Yuzhi, which is also the reason why he was unwilling to announce himself as the head of the police department and the head of the Uchiha clan so quickly.

While doing so may have many advantages, it can also create a gap between you and your peers, which isn't always a good thing.

But it doesn't matter now. He's already Hokage, so there are some things he doesn't need to think about too much.

Besides, to be honest, he himself was indifferent to whether or not the Shadow Guard was established.

Think about it, where were the Shadow Guards when the First Hokage was fighting Madara Uchiha?

Where were the Shadow Guards when the Fourth Hokage died sealing the Nine-Tails?

When the second generation was besieged and killed by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers, his Shadow Guard became the people he had to protect.

Even the Third Hokage himself, in the original story, when he was trapped inside a barrier and fighting Orochimaru, did not see any Shadow Guard appear.

At most, they're just a bunch of spies watching the show; their main job is probably to provide commentary on the scene.

History has proven time and again that the Shadow Guard is actually unable to protect the Hokage.

If they encounter trouble that even the Hokage himself cannot handle, or a powerful enemy that he cannot defeat, then even if the Shadow Guards were to go, they would most likely just be throwing their lives away in vain.

Therefore, in Yuzhi's view, the Shadow Guard is actually just a facade, and its existence is not that important.

"Everything will be fine once their current excitement wears off."

Yuri shrugged and smiled, but then he suddenly paused, and looked up to see a bird flying toward him.

The bird landed on Yuri's table, opened its beak and spat out a scroll, then vanished into thin air as well.

"pocket?"

Guang blinked and asked a question with some doubt.

"Yes, it'll probably be Kabuto."

Yuzhi nodded slightly; he was quite curious about what Kabuto wanted to talk to him about.

But when he opened the scroll, he was slightly stunned, and the next moment a smile appeared on his face.

"That's really good news."

"What happened? Did his experiment succeed?"

"You could say that. I don't know if he was just incredibly lucky or if his skill was unimaginably high, but he definitely succeeded."

Yuzhi never expected that there would be so much good news recently.

First, Orochimaru located Hiruko's location, and then Kabuto had a relatively clear experimental result.

Even though Yuzhi was having some difficulty with the fusion of Yin and Yang Release, all these good news combined were enough to make Yuzhi happy!

"The only thing we need to consider now is how effective it will be in actual human use."

Thinking of this, Yuki grabbed Hikaru's hand and smiled.

"Let's go back and take a look."

"Then what about Lin and the others?"

"I'll leave a clone to notify them, don't worry."

"Okay, whatever you think is best."

Guang nodded and did not object, after all, she herself was full of curiosity about this experiment.

Although she always felt that Yuzhi's current motivation to improve seemed to have deviated somewhat in the right direction.

But regardless, at their current stage, any improvement is a good thing.

"I'm going out for a bit. You all stay here and get ready."

The moonlight was like a song, its silvery rays falling on the land of Konoha, yet Konoha remained brightly lit.

In the streets and alleys, cheerful crowds constantly moved about, children's joyful laughter filled the air, and various vendors' cries rose and fell.

This bustling scene not only shocked the other envoys who came to Konoha, but also the people of Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi looked at everything before her, feeling a mix of emotions. It was her first time in Konoha, and the first time she had ever seen such a bustling scene.

She had originally thought that every village was the same as their Hidden Mist Village, with a curfew at night and everyone strictly adhering to ninja rules.

But what she saw before her shattered her illusions, and she realized just how naive her previous thoughts had been.

Not only her, but everyone else was in a similar situation. However, at that moment, Kisame stood up and spoke in a low voice.

Where are you going?

Mei Terumi frowned. Although she knew Kisame had a special mission, as the leader of this operation, she couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you. This is a task personally assigned by the elder."

Kisame pursed his lips. He didn't want to carry it out, but unfortunately, he was the only one who could do it.

"Tch, so mysterious."

Hozuki Mangetsu snorted softly, then spoke sarcastically.

"You don't mean you're going to see the Fifth Hokage, do you?"

"."

Damn it, you actually guessed right!

Kisame couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his mind, but he really didn't know how to answer that. He glared at Hozuki Mangetsu, feeling that this guy was destined to die young.

Heaven knows why a family that talks so much nonsense has survived until now, but he's too lazy to care anymore.

He turned around and walked outside without looking back, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

"This guy"

Hozuki Mangetsu rubbed his head, then looked at Terumi Mei, who was standing silently to the side, with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, he spoke in a strange tone.

"Do you think he might actually be going to see the Fifth Hokage? I heard that Konoha supported the elders."

"Why bother with all that? He has his own mission."

Mei Terumi also found it strange, but she still glared at Mangetsu Hozuki in the end.

"Just do your own thing, understand?"

After saying that, Mei Terumi couldn't help but think—

Could it be that he really went to see the legendary Fifth Hokage?

"You idiot, aren't you being way too impatient?"

"Actually, everything is fine. Don't forget that I possess 'God Tianjin'. I only dared to try it after undergoing simulation."

At Yuri's house, Hikaru looked at Yuri with a furrowed brow, while Yuri appeared calm and even had a smile on her face.

Kabuto's experiment was a great success. Perhaps this guy really is born with the 'lucky charm' constitution, and his luck is off the charts!

In the original story, he learned the Sage Mode, which even Orochimaru dared not try, with almost no effort.

Furthermore, he succeeded in forcibly fusing Orochimaru's cells and the Sound Four on the spot. Besides his exceptional talent, luck also played a part in this outcome.

Even though Yuri himself possessed "genetic modification skills," he was still "trembling with fear" and "walking on thin ice" when he fully fused with the White Zetsu cells.

But this guy just forced the fusion using the most basic methods and actually succeeded. Who can you reason with about that?

In fact, his "lucky charm" physique was already evident when he was initially researching the power of the Bamboo Cutter and the Hyuga.

He was able to discover so many problems with just one Byakugan, and he even extracted the power belonging to the Hyuga clan through the Byakugan to complete his research. It was truly shocking to even Hagoromo!

With so many 'experimental materials' this time, Yuri was extremely satisfied with his work progress.

"Lord Haori, it has been proven that the powers of Taketori and Hyuga are indeed compatible, or even perfectly matched."

When Haori and Hikari arrived at the lab, they stared at Kabuto, who looked unusually tired with dark circles under his eyes, but their eyes were filled with excitement.

"Although I don't know exactly why, experiments have shown that the combination of these two forces can indeed create miracles."

It was as if they could fix each other's flaws, as if they could integrate their own strengths to achieve a perfect balance.

However, I also have some doubts, because I can't be sure whether this is an individual case or if it was always like this.

But based on the experiments I have at hand, it seems to be true.

Kabuto remained exceptionally cautious. Although his experiments were performing exceptionally well, he maintained a skeptical attitude.

However, he also had a feeling that the power he possessed should be able to help Kimimaro overcome the difficulties, since the power of the bamboo tug came entirely from Kimimaro!

"Is that so? I have a few more questions."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi touched her chin before asking the question that concerned her most.

"Wouldn't the compatibility of these forces lead to some problems, such as mutual suppression ultimately resulting in mediocrity?"

"No, these two forces can be combined and their characteristics can be maximized."

Kabuto smiled confidently as he led Haori and Hikari to the lab table, where a somewhat dim-looking Byakugan stood.

"I extracted power from this Byakugan before, so it was basically unusable, but now it is recovering because I injected a very small amount of fusion cells into it."

"What if it were transplanted into someone else?"

"I'm not too sure about that, but what I'm sure of is that the abilities of the Corpse Bone Pulse might be preserved, but the Byakugan... well, the Byakugan is very special."

Kabuto's response to Haori's question was quite appropriate. After all, from the moment Haori asked him to conduct the research, he understood that these powers would likely affect other people.

He naturally possessed such keen insight, and besides, he didn't want Kimimaro to suddenly develop a pair of white eyes, causing any trouble for Haori.

"That's good."

Haori nodded, then his eyes transformed into kaleidoscopes, and he began to simulate based on these powers.

After the simulation, he received a reassuring answer: he would be able to adapt to these powers once they entered his body!

After all, he possesses the ability of the "Takarajima clan's self-adaptation," so even if these powers become less pure due to the mixing of the Hyuga clan's power.

But at least half of it belongs to the bamboo plucker. According to the simulation by 'Kami Tensei', he might feel a little uncomfortable, but the problem will definitely not be too big!

Although the simulation of "God Tianjin" was conducted under customized conditions, Yuri now has comprehensive medical care and body data monitoring, so he naturally doesn't need to worry as much as he used to.

Even so, you were too impulsive.

Hikari shook her head. Although Haori was very confident, she was still not very happy about Haori's adventure.

"Don't worry, haven't we taken enough risks? We weren't that afraid when we merged with those white cells."

Haori squeezed Hikaru's hand, his smile unchanged.

"However, we can be more careful this time. I will have Nonou conduct more medical examinations on me, so you won't have to worry."

Although Nono didn't participate in the experiment, she was absolutely dedicated to the police department and even to Haori.

Especially after Yuri became Hokage, she had no more worries. After all, before that, Yuri was just the head of the police department, and she did many things behind the Hokage's back.

But now that he's Hokage, in other words, his power is practically 'limitless'!

Whatever he does, no one can say anything against it, as long as it doesn't provoke public outrage.

"Alright, but..."

After glancing at Yuzhi's current appearance and recalling the previous situation, she couldn't help but shake her head.

"You seem fine now, but he wasn't in as good a condition as you might think before."

"After all, it's the first time, everyone feels pain."

The haori didn't avoid this problem. It can simulate whether something is compatible, but it can't simulate other aspects.

He still remembers how he almost screamed in pain the instant he injected the newly prepared solvent into his body.

pain!

Excruciating pain!

Ultimately, these powers are not from the original White Zetsu cells. White Zetsu belonged to Hashirama Senju, so naturally, the cells of the Uchiha clan were interdependent.

However, Hyuga and Taketori are on completely different tracks. Even though Haori has the ability to adapt, the problem is that Hyuga's power is not free!

Along with this extreme pain, he suddenly felt a special power blooming within his body, and the next moment this power spread throughout his entire body.

These forces spreading throughout his body caused his blood to boil, his cells to pulsate, and his muscles to vibrate continuously.

This was just the beginning. As the tremors grew stronger, he felt some changes occurring in his internal organs.

The tremor was so intense that he felt as if his internal organs had been shattered!

Moreover, his bones were the ones that were most severely affected by the shock; even without looking at them, he could feel that his bones had undergone some changes.

Fortunately, having been a ninja for so many years, his willpower was absolutely tenacious.

Furthermore, he possesses the power of the Thousand Hands. Although his body has undergone such a change, the power of the Thousand Hands has begun to continuously repair itself.

Amidst this destruction and restoration, he gradually began to sense that everything was starting to stabilize.

With this stability, Senju's power repair began to increase, and a cool sensation spread throughout his body.

Most importantly, he seemed to feel his body, which had been crushed, beginning to recombine!

The power belonging to Taketori and Hyuga began to mysteriously intertwine with his own power and that of the Senju.

He felt as much pain as he had just been in, and now he felt just as good, and with that feeling of comfort, he felt as if his body had become stronger!

"Even more so, the Senju cells have integrated even deeper?"

This discovery is somewhat unbelievable, but upon closer examination, it seems understandable.

Although he couldn't be sure if his body was really collapsing, the reorganization, fusion, and his adaptive power made it hard to say whether it could speed up the process!

"My physical abilities are stronger now than when I first entered. Although I can't yet use the power of the Corpse Bone Pulse, but..."

Even though he was a little weak, Yuzhi could still feel how hard his bones were after he clenched his fist slightly!

"Won't I turn into Wolverine?"

For some reason, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind, but no matter what, his strength had indeed increased again!

"Alright, stop talking about my problems. I'm confident in my abilities, but you'd better be careful on your end."

As Hagoromo sensed the change in his own power, he smiled and spoke to Hikari beside him.

"My situation is probably just pain, plus a low-grade fever afterward. After all, it's normal for there to be a relatively natural rejection reaction when new cells and energy appear in the body."

But everything is steadily improving. However, I'm worried about you, so please do as Kabuto requested and try the in vitro experiment first.

"Okay, I understand."

Hikari wanted to say more about Haori's recklessness, but seeing Haori like this, she ultimately shook her head.

However, she also made a decision in her heart: she would rather destroy some experimental materials than let this guy do whatever he wanted.

Although she always believed that Yuzhi was a pervert, she didn't think anyone else could replace him. If something happened to him, wouldn't she become a widow?

"Who is it?"

Just as Haori and Hikaru were chatting and enjoying their time off work, Kisame, dressed in black, suddenly and stealthily arrived outside the Uchiha clan compound.

The guy leaped onto the outer wall and was immediately spotted by several patrolling Uchiha ninjas.

"Oh no."

Kisame cursed inwardly. Although he knew that the Uchiha clan was heavily guarded, especially after Haori became Hokage, the guards would become even more stringent.

But he had no other choice, and he also thought to himself that he had once been a member of the Dark Division, so sneaking in quietly shouldn't be a big problem.

He never dreamed that he would be discovered the moment he got close.

"They've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble for the Uchiha clan?"

"Grab him, and kill him if he resists!"

"Don't worry about whether he's an envoy from another village or not. We weren't afraid of Kumogakure back then, let alone now!"

"How about we just kill him and hand him over to the interrogation team to search his brain for information?"

Kisame's brows twitched as he heard the words of the Uchiha clan members around him. Just how much did these people want to fight?

Why do they always talk about killing off the torture squad?

However, Kisame also knew how the previous war in Kumogakure had been started, and he dared not make any rash moves now.

He wasn't afraid of the Uchiha around him, but the person he was afraid of lived among the Uchiha!

"Uchiha Haori, Uchiha Hotaru, and Uchiha Shisui."

Kisame felt a shiver run down his spine, but just then a familiar figure walked over.

"What's going on? Who's making such a racket here so late at night?"

"Minister, you've arrived?"

The person who arrived was Shisui, who had now taken office as the Minister of Police. Kisame breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him and immediately shouted loudly.

"Minister Shisui, it's me!"

"It's you? Oh, it's you, kid."

Shisui was stunned for a moment, but he quickly sensed the chakra of the man in black in front of him and instantly realized who it was: Kisame!

Upon seeing Kisame, Shisui pondered for a moment, and then something suddenly occurred to him.

Coming here in this way at this time, and recalling what she and Yuori did in Kirigakure, could it be...?

"Has the time come for Kirigakure to undergo a complete transformation?"
