On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

"You experimented with Uchiha cells and Hashirama cells together?" Nagasawa couldn't help but ask.

Both the Uchiha and Senju are descendants of the Otsutsuki clan, but one inherited the Sage's Eyes and the other inherited the Sage Body.

If we study these two together, we might actually discover something.

Orochimaru nodded, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "That's right, I put the cells of a certain Uchiha Chunin together with Hashirama's cells for an experiment."

"This experiment was different from the past. Although the Uchiha cell eventually collapsed, it was completely different from before."

That cell was able to resist the erosion of the interstitial cells at the beginning, and even achieved a brief balance.

Keep in mind, that was just a cell from an ordinary Chunin.

"It seems you're close to finding the path to success," Nagasawa remarked.

Orochimaru is indeed not to be underestimated; he found the direction so quickly.

I just don't know if it can surpass the original storyline.

In the original storyline, for some reason, Orochimaru didn't do much research on Hashirama's cells later on.

Danzo's Sharingan arm, which could use Wood Release, was probably Orochimaru's greatest achievement in Hashirama's cell technology.

Chapter 117 Return of Life

"Successful? It's too early to say. But it's quite intriguing that the Uchiha cells and Hashirama cells can produce this kind of reaction," Orochimaru chuckled.

"I wonder what your opinion is on this, Nagasawa?" Orochimaru asked Nagasawa.

Nagasawa thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we should seek the answer in the distant past."

"Seeking answers in history? That's a rather unexpected answer." Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips.

"Do you know about the relationship between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period?" Nagasawa asked.

Orochimaru shook his head.

Although Konoha has only been established for a few decades, Orochimaru, who came from a commoner background, was not familiar with that history and had not bothered to learn about it.

“They are mortal enemies, they are mortal enemies, both wanting to kill each other.”

"Interesting. Two rival families co-founded Konoha, and they even have such a peculiar connection at the cellular level." Orochimaru's expression was somewhat subtle.

“That’s why I said we need to look for the answers in the distant past. These two families definitely have some secrets we don’t know about,” Nagasawa said with a smile.

It's actually a secret that Orochimaru doesn't know.

However, Nagasawa didn't want to tell Orochimaru directly, as that would really make him seem a bit suspicious. Even the Uchiha clan leader didn't know, yet you knew. You're something else.

"Perhaps, the legendary Sage of Six Paths might actually be real."

"Even if there is a Sage of Six Paths, he is just a powerful ninja. Nagasawa, you don't believe in those boring gods, do you?"

Speaking of immortals, Orochimaru has actually met one: the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave.

However, in Orochimaru's eyes, the White Snake Sage was not some noble immortal, but just a powerful white snake that had lived for a long time.

If they weren't too weak to defeat him, they would have captured him for experiments and used him as a summoned beast.

“Of course not.” Nagasawa shook his head.

Perhaps there really are those great beings outside this world who can manipulate the world like a glass ball.

However, in the Naruto world, even Kaguya Otsutsuki, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, was just an alien.

Later, Nagasawa and Orochimaru conducted some more experiments together. Orochimaru was mainly responsible for the actual work, while Nagasawa was responsible for providing suggestions and making observations.

Around 3:30 PM, Nagasawa left. Before leaving, knowing that Orochimaru would likely resume human experiments soon, he warned:

"Don't use villagers as guinea pigs, that's my bottom line."

Orochimaru said without changing his expression, "I will naturally do what I promised Nagasawa-san. You are welcome to come and visit anytime, Nagasawa-san."

Although Nagasawa seemed somewhat threatening to Orochimaru, Orochimaru didn't care about Nagasawa's minor flaws; he was more concerned about Nagasawa's abilities.

Anything is acceptable as long as the experiment succeeds.

Those who don't use Konoha don't need to, and those who aren't from Konoha are a special case.

After leaving Orochimaru's base, Nagasawa saw that it was still early, so he took a stroll in Konoha to relax.

He walked out of the secluded forest, aimlessly, until he sensed a somewhat familiar aura—Matt Kai's aura.

"Finger Pistol - Thrust!"

Might Guy extended his index finger and channeled chakra into it, which transformed into lightning chakra at the moment of the explosion.

Nourishes...

A flash of electricity streaked across his fingers and then vanished.

Matt Kee knew he had failed yet again.

Might Guy scratched his head. He had done everything Kakashi said, but the conversion efficiency of the nature transformation was far from satisfactory.

Might Guy actually knew a little about the reason. He was originally lacking in ninjutsu talent, and he had always practiced taijutsu. Now that he suddenly picked up nature transformation, it would be too difficult for him to succeed.

"Kai, are you practicing the advanced Six Forms?"

Nagasawa saw Might Guy's stance and the name of the move he shouted, so he went forward.

“Yes, Mr. Nagasawa.” Might Guy nodded.

"However, my ninjutsu talent is lacking. Although I remembered what you said, Nagasawa-sensei, and Kakashi taught me later, I still can't use it."

"But I won't give up. Youth is about challenging difficulties!" Might Guy gave a thumbs up and flashed his signature smile.

Nagasawa fell into deep thought; he knew that Might Guy's ninjutsu talent was lacking.

However, he didn't specifically tell Might Guy not to learn the Advanced Six Styles, because he wanted to see if Might Guy could learn this ninjutsu that was different from ordinary ninjutsu.

This is due to the unique nature of the Eight Gates Formation. Although it is a taijutsu (body technique), opening the Eight Gates grants a large amount of chakra.

In the Naruto world, there are eight points in the meridian system that controls the flow of chakra in the human body, known as the Eight Gates.

By temporarily opening these eight passages, one can gain immense power for the duration of the opening.

If Might Guy could learn Nature Transformation, then the powerful chakra he gained when opening the Eight Gates would have far more uses than just strengthening his body.

If one can still perform advanced Six Styles ninjutsu while in Eight Gates state, then that would be a huge improvement.

But judging from the current situation, this idea doesn't seem very feasible.

In his normal state, Might Guy would have a hard time even using the advanced Six Styles, let alone the Eight Gates.

Since the Eight Gates, which suppress and control chakra, have been opened, chakra will be more difficult to control at that time.

He could use the points to give Might Guy a little boost, adding some points to improve his nature transformation.

However, to upgrade a nature transformation of Might Guy's level to the Eight Gates state and use a nature transformation at the level of ninjutsu and taijutsu, it would probably require a lot of points.

Moreover, it cannot be immediately converted into combat power.

The current Might Guy is not the Azure Beast who could directly start from the sixth gate later on. Opening the sixth gate now would definitely result in severe physical damage to his body.

He might as well use his points to upgrade the Whitebeard template, and then make a harmless attempt when he's not short on points anymore.

Thinking of this, Yongze said, "My arrangement was a bit inappropriate. Kai, you should temporarily stop practicing the advanced six styles."

Next, I will teach you the original six forms. From now on, you should mainly practice this and the regular six forms.

"The original six styles? What kind of six styles are these? Aren't the ordinary six styles the original six styles?" Might Guy asked.

He had never heard Yongze mention this Six Styles before.

Nagasawa nodded and said, "The original six styles were the first six styles, but because they required too much physical strength, I later created the ordinary six styles."

Compared to the regular Six Styles, the Original Six Styles do not involve the use of chakra and rely solely on a powerful body to perform them.

However, if you practice the Six Primal Forms to a certain level, you will gain an ability called Life Return.

Nagasawa then briefly described the ability to restore life, which made Might Guy's blood boil and he couldn't wait to start practicing immediately.

Kakashi knows the advanced Six Powers, and he has mastered the Return of Life; they both have a bright future.

Chapter 118 Konoha at 5:30 AM

"Yi, you have to do everything you can to get the training team's Six Styles. Anyway, the two Anbu are in the same base now, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Danzo appeared to be asking a question, but his words carried an undeniable meaning.

Tsubasa was a member of his Root organization, and after Root was disbanded, he joined the Third Generation's Dark Side.

Most of the Root members were dealt with in this way: their teams were disbanded and they joined the Third Generation Anbu, while a small number joined other departments.

After all, the Root ninjas were no less capable than the Anbu. The Third Hokage couldn't possibly kill all of these elite ninjas on a whim; that would be a waste of resources.

Konoha is currently suffering from the aftermath of the war and is lacking in manpower.

Therefore, for Danzo, the total strength of the Root ninjas did not change much, but mobilizing them was extremely troublesome and had to be done secretly.

You can't move too many at once, or it will be discovered.

Another major loss is that we can no longer use the name "root".

They can no longer act as they did before, relying on the privileges of the roots to do whatever they wanted.

"If we're discovered during the mission, you know what to do, right?" Danzo said coldly.

The ninja codenamed Wing knelt down and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

Tsubasa certainly knew what Danzo meant; it was suicide, to prevent someone from obtaining her memories and exposing Danzo.

However, Tsubasa did not resent it, but took it for granted, because this was the truth that Danzo had always told them: ninjas must sacrifice themselves.

Among Root members like Tsubasa who have been brainwashed, Danzo is the only one. If Danzo hadn't given the order, Tsubasa would have been confused and at a loss.

"Very good, get to work as soon as possible." Danzo nodded in satisfaction.

It seems his brainwashing work was quite effective. Even if those Root members went to the Third Generation Dark Division, they would still obey him, and he would even be the highest priority.
