Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

On the other hand, the Sharingan consumes too much energy for outsiders, and since it cannot be turned off, it will consume a large amount of chakra for a long time.

While its tactical significance is greatly diminished, it lacks the strategic value of the Byakugan. Coupled with the pursuit by the Uchiha clan, the cost-effectiveness of transplanting the Sharingan is too low, making them less sensitive to such matters than the Hyuga clan.

"Obito died. Before he died, he awakened the Sharingan and gave it to Kakashi as a keepsake."

Minato spoke truthfully, feeling somewhat guilty. If he had arrived earlier, he could have saved Obito, which was why he wanted to keep Obito's belongings.

"I hope you can support Kakashi in keeping this eye. Please let me know if you need any conditions."

“I will support him without any conditions. Obito and Kakashi are both my friends. Since his last wish was to leave his eyes to Kakashi, I will naturally respect that.”

Looking at Kakashi's red eyes, Iori thought of his future title as Konoha Technician. He wondered whether obtaining the Sharingan was a blessing or a curse for Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake, who was once famous for his White Fang Sword Technique, eventually became a ninja specializing in ninjutsu, which makes people feel the impermanence of life.

“Minato-senpai, how about we talk about the election of the Fourth Hokage?” Iori looked at Minato, intending to take the opportunity to join his ranks and use him to her advantage.

"I wonder what Iori-kun thinks?" Minato was somewhat surprised when Iori brought up the matter.

"I support Minato becoming Hokage, and I can agree on behalf of the Senju and Uchiha clans, but I hope to obtain the position of Hokage's assistant so that the relationship between the clan and the village can be eased."

Iori calmly made her request.

"The Senju and Uchiha? Iori-kun, although it may be presumptuous, I still want to ask, what gives you the right to represent them?"

Minato was a little curious. It was one thing for the Uchiha to listen to him, since he was the strongest in the clan, but why should the Senju listen to him?

Iori looked at Minato and said calmly, "I am now the head of the Uchiha clan. Tsunade of the Senju clan is my good friend, and she is willing to support me on behalf of the Senju."

After listening, Minato hesitated for a moment and asked, "Iori-kun, don't you plan to become Hokage?"

"Given your current situation, becoming Hokage isn't impossible. Why do you want to join us?"

His tone carried a hint of inquiry.

Iori smiled slightly and said calmly, "Because I intend to compete for the Fifth Hokage."

"Because of age and seniority, not many people would choose a fifteen-year-old boy to lead if I didn't intend to force my way into the position."

"That's why I want to get the position of Hokage's assistant and make something of myself."

Minato carefully considered the pros and cons and finally agreed.

He extended his hand first, saying to Iori, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Iori grasped his hand and replied, "It's a pleasure working with you."

After dealing with the situation on the front lines of the Land of Earth, Iori took out a spellbook from the Gate of Babylon and used the advanced teleportation spell once again.

With a flash of blue light, Iori appeared in her home.

He canceled the projected image of his clothes, then jumped onto the bed, feeling the warmth and peace of home.

As her mind relaxed, Iori fell into a deep sleep and slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

The next day

While Iori was continuing to practice projection magic at home, she suddenly received news that the equipment for the laboratory had arrived.

[As expected of a thousand-year-old clan, their speed is astounding. It seems I'll soon have my Wood Release technique.]

Iori thought to herself with a touch of happiness.

Chapter 112 Laboratory and Intercolumnar Cells

As dawn breaks, sunlight filters through the treetops of the village, casting dappled shadows on the stone path sculpted by time.

Uchiha Setsuna, holding a cane, led Iori through the clan compound to the newly completed laboratory.

The newly built laboratory is hidden deep within the clan's territory, surrounded by the highest level of security measures.

They passed through a series of complex barriers and several Uchiha clan sentries before finally arriving at the laboratory.

After entering, Iori turned her head and curiously looked at the barrier she had just passed through, a hint of surprise in her eyes, because these barriers were very different from the style of the Uchiha clan, but were more similar to the style of the Senju clan.

As if seeing through Iori's doubts, Setsuna explained with a hint of pride in his voice:

"These barriers were set up in cooperation between our sealing ninjas and the Senju ninjas. We have begun the initial cooperation because of your order."

"I must say, Senju's barrier techniques are indeed quite impressive, only slightly weaker than ours."

In an instant, he supported himself with one hand on his cane, and with the other hand he made a pinching motion with his index finger and thumb, striking a pose of a universe at his fingertips.

Iori glanced at him helplessly, secretly amused, but said nothing.

The Uchiha clan really tries to compete with the Senju clan in everything. Although the Uchiha's sealing techniques have their unique aspects, what can they use to compare with the Senju clan after absorbing the Uzumaki Sealing Technique?

As they passed through the barrier, it was as if they had traveled through time and space to a place that was quite different from the ninja world.

This place is a fusion of technology and ninjutsu, with shimmering runes adorning the walls and a strange medicinal aroma permeating the air.

The laboratory was somewhat dimly lit, but a large central light emitted a soft glow, illuminating the various instruments placed around it.

These instruments, imbued with the ruggedness characteristic of the ninja world, seemed somewhat outdated to a modern transmigrator like Iori.

Elder Setsuna smiled proudly as he pointed to a corner of the laboratory, where bookshelves stood, displaying ancient scrolls that had been passed down within the Uchiha clan since ancient times.

“Those are the ninjutsu and legends we compiled, and they’re all there now.”

Then he pointed to another corner of the laboratory, which was also full of various scrolls, and continued.

"That scroll was brought over by the Senju clan. I took a look at it before, and it's a unique copy that circulates within their clan. They really went all out for this alliance."

Iori smiled but didn't reply. He didn't plan to spread the news about Senju's complete allegiance yet; it was excellent bait.

He slowly walked to the workbench, his fingers gently gliding over the strange instruments as he curiously examined them.

To be honest, even now, Iori finds it hard to understand what the technology tree in the ninja world is like. They have computers, refrigerators, and all sorts of appliances, but their effects on daily life are not very noticeable.

After carefully analyzing various instruments, Iori concluded that the technology in the ninja world was not backward, at least at the level of the 1980s or 1990s in her previous life.

The reason it didn't become widespread was due to the impact of cost and war, especially in terms of transportation. Without suitable roads, it's normal that inventions like automobiles didn't emerge.

In the main story, more than a decade later, refrigerators and old-fashioned televisions should have become commonplace, and there are countless utility poles in various ninja villages, indicating that almost every household has access to electricity.

In the classic Naruto episode of the massacre of the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha was crouching on a telephone pole.

However, outside of the ninja villages and big cities, it was still in the stage of classical rural life, and the ninjas and nobles were in a completely different world from the people outside Konoha.

It's about time we recruit Orochimaru. He's an unavoidable figure in Naruto fanfiction, the number one scientist in the ninja world, and the king of overpowered characters after Tobirama Senju.

Iori glanced at the spellbook in her treasure vault and smiled smugly.

The book contains countless longevity rituals and resurrection spells, granting two wishes at once.

It's time to give Orochimaru a little otherworldly shock.

After bringing Iori here, Setsuna left the laboratory. He knew nothing about these experiments and therefore did not disturb Iori's research.

After he left, Iori was intently inspecting every corner of the laboratory.

Just then, Tsunade walked in carrying a huge scroll, breaking the tranquility of the laboratory.

Tsunade was dressed in casual clothes, her blonde hair tied up high, making her look youthful and full of energy.

She nodded to Iori as a greeting, then carefully placed the scroll in her hand on the experimental table.

Seeing her curiosity, Iori asked, "What's inside this scroll?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's smile froze slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

For her, the scroll did not hold any good memories.

Her silence weighed heavily on the atmosphere of the laboratory, making the already gloomy space even more oppressive.

She recalled how her grandfather's body had been dug up from his grave and dragged into a laboratory for reuse.

Countless uncles and elders joined the experiment, but not even their bodies were preserved. After the experiment failed, the bodies of all the participants became woody.

Thinking back to the somber and sorrowful atmosphere within the clan at that time, the incessant weeping day and night, and the sounds of the funeral.

Tsunade's mood darkened. Even though she knew that Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi were not responsible for the incident, she still found it difficult to face them.

This is also why she doesn't spend most of her time in the village.

Iori noticed the change in Tsunade's emotions. He gently approached her, reached out and hugged her, offering her comfort and support.

Tsunade leaned against Iori's embrace, feeling the warmth, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade steadied herself and reached out to open the scroll using a secret technique passed down through the Senju clan.

With the seal broken, a jar of peculiar cells and a large number of scrolls appeared on the experimental table with a bang.

Iori's gaze was immediately drawn to the jar of cells. He pointed at the jar and said, "Are these the cells of the First Generation?"

Iori looked at it with a sense of shock. Under the scrutiny of her Sharingan, the chakra in that jar of cells seemed particularly strange, its powerful aggression making it seem as if it were alive.

Tsunade nodded. "Yes, these are cells extracted from my grandfather. I hope you can make good use of them. The scroll next to it contains the experimental data from back then."

Her tone was heavy, and she still couldn't let go of the experiment from back then.

Iori patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'll take good care of it. Leave it to me."

Chapter 113 Wood Release Experiment and Preparations to Recruit Orochimaru

Iori's fingers gently turned the heavy scroll, which detailed Orochimaru's Hashirama cell implantation plan, each page bearing the blood and tears of the ninjas.

His gaze darted between the lines, finally settling on Orochimaru's experimental diary.

The diary pages have yellowed and the edges are slightly curled, but the handwriting is still clear, and you can even feel the writer's mood at the time.

October 1th, Konoha Year 40

The old man finally agreed to our plan. Lady Mito is getting old, and the Jinchuriki will soon be replaced. The new Jinchuriki may not be able to suppress the Nine-Tails.

Konoha needs the power of Wood Release.

October 5th, Konoha Year 40

He truly deserves to be called the God of Ninjas. Even after being dead for decades, his body cells still possess terrifying activity. Perhaps I should study how to suppress his activity.

October 7th, Konoha Year 40

I have successfully isolated some cells and injected them into laboratory animals. I don't know what the results will be.
