Chapter 102: Evolution brought by Hashirama's cells

Suddenly, in the most secret underground laboratory at the root, there was the sound of light footsteps.

Uchiha Feiyu gently pushed open the door of the underground laboratory, looked at the busy researchers inside, and walked in quietly like a ghost.

Although the researchers at the Root are also ninjas, most of them are undoubtedly civilian ninjas with little practical experience. A genius like Orochimaru, the second Hokage, who is good at both practical combat and research, is not easy to come by.

With Uchiha Feiyu's five senses manipulation illusion, ordinary researchers can easily control twenty or thirty of them, and in the entire laboratory, there are only five researchers plus two Root guard ninjas.

In fact, it's not just the laboratory. There are few places in the entire Root that Uchiha Feiyu has not visited. It can be said that in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes, the Root has almost no secrets.

Uchiha Hiyu already had a rough idea of ​​even the plans of the Konoha high-level officials. Now the Root has provided the Uchiha clan to Orochimaru for research, but what no one knew was that the bodies of the Uchiha clan members that had been studied were actually taken away by Uchiha Hiyu in the end.

The Uchiha who were targeted by the Root and Orochimaru naturally had three-magatama Sharingan. Even if their Sharingan had been removed after the experiments, their corpses alone were definitely worth a lot.

Moreover, a certain amount of Hashirama's cells were injected into these corpses. After Uchiha Feiyu threw these corpses into the blood pool, his bloodline was greatly improved.

The reason he was able to merge Susanoo and Lightning Release Chakra modes was largely because his own bloodline had improved a lot. Susanoo was already able to switch to muscle mode, and it could be said that he was only one step away from the Mangekyo level of pupil power.

It’s just that Uchiha Feiyu’s eyes seem to be really fixed at the level of three magatama. Even though his pupil power far exceeds the level of the three magatama Sharingan, there is no trend of evolution.

But it’s better this way. If he reveals his Mangekyō, both the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level officials will probably have more ideas.

The Uchiha clan is full of admiration for the Mangekyō. Even though Uchiha Feiyu's strength is now far beyond that of ordinary Mangekyō owners, they still stubbornly believe in the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. It can be said that in the Uchiha clan, the Mangekyō Sharingan is a banner.

As for the Konoha high-level officials, because they knew the process of the Uchiha clan opening their eyes, in their eyes, all the owners of the Mangekyō Sharingan were basically a group of psychopaths, and psychopaths who wielded powerful weapons.

"Tsk... there are no test subjects from the Uchiha clan today? That Danzo guy is not good enough! The Uchiha clan has nearly a thousand ninjas, and more than 200 of them have opened their eyes. More than half of them have three magatama. As a result, up to now, they have only got four test subjects."

After looking at the laboratory, Uchiha Feiyu sighed softly. Why was it so difficult for him to get some Uchiha corpses?

If Danzo and the Third Hokage knew what Uchiha Toba was thinking now, they would definitely not think of using this method to sow discord between him and Orochimaru.

Uchiha Feiyu not only has no feelings for his cheap fellow clansmen, but is even more greedy than Orochimaru. He is completely eyeing their bloodlines and wishes to keep the Uchiha clan in captivity and harvest them every once in a while.

"But fortunately, although there are no experimental subjects from the Uchiha clan, a lot of Hashirama cells have been cultivated. Tsk, it seems that we can harvest them again."

After walking a few steps in the laboratory, Uchiha Feiyu soon came to a huge culture tank. The culture tank was about three meters square, and inside it was a huge meat ball with a diameter of more than two meters.

The most bizarre thing was that on that strange mass of flesh appeared the facial masks of the first generation of Hokage. Even though the eyes were closed, the densely packed facial masks still looked so devastating.

"I wonder what kind of expression the first Hokage would have after seeing the research of his descendants... Hehe, I think his mood at that time would probably be similar to when he saw his gay friend put his face on his heart!"

After a slight joke, Uchiha Feiyu drew out his sword and cut the huge piece of Hashirama's cells into two halves with one stroke. One half occupied 90% and the other half only occupied 10%.

Then Uchiha Feiyu collected 90% of Hashirama's cells, leaving only 10% of Hashirama's cells in the huge culture dish.

"The cell culture device has a problem again, and the Wood Release cells are starting to die in large numbers again!"

"Hurry up and inject the high-concentration nutrient solution, and also inject the No. 13 potion, and find two ninjas to input earth and water ninjutsu chakra!"

"Damn it, why do these cells have problems every once in a while? This has never happened before!"

"Stop talking nonsense and cultivate it again as soon as possible!"

"Fortunately, the vitality of these Wood Release cells is extremely tenacious and they are also highly corrosive. As long as there is enough nutrition, they can be easily cultivated. Otherwise, every time they are cultivated, there will be heavy losses."

A group of researchers were discussing there, as if there really was a problem with the Wood Release Cells and the culture tanks themselves, and they paid no attention to Uchiha Feiyu who was holding a huge piece of Wood Release Cells next to him.

Uchiha Feiyu slowly put the Wood Release Cells into the sealing scroll. This was his 30th harvest in half a year.

Ever since he discovered the laboratory that cultivated Wood Release Cells at the roots, he would come to harvest them basically every week. Fortunately, Wood Release Cells grew extremely fast as long as there were enough nutrients, otherwise the entire laboratory would have been plucked out by him.

After 30 harvests, Uchiha Feiyu now has nearly 20 tons of Wood Release Cells in his hands. The reason why he got so many Wood Release Cells is actually that Uchiha Feiyu plans to borrow the power of the blood pool for himself to absorb.

It can be said that Hashirama cells are the best bloodline evolution material in Uchiha Feiyu's hands, because of the powerful vitality and corrosive power of Hashirama cells themselves, even a small piece of Hashirama cells as big as a fingernail can proliferate into a huge meat ball with a diameter of several meters in a very short time.

Although the blood power in it is far less than that of the living body of Hashirama Senju, its quality will not decrease due to massive proliferation. As long as the number is large enough, the effect is actually much better than sacrificing a large number of ordinary ninjas.

"Although the blood pool can trace bloodlines in all directions, different materials will still have different effects. I wonder if putting so many Hashirama cells into the blood pool will allow me to awaken my immortal body directly?"

He felt that the number of Hashirama cells in his hands was sufficient. In addition, his training had come to an end during this period, so it was impossible for him to make any rapid progress in a short period of time.

Uchiha Feiyu is going to the blood pool next to evolve his own bloodline. This is a good opportunity to test the effect of Hashirama's cells.

That night, Uchiha Feiyu left Konohagakure directly and came to the underground cave where the blood pool was located, and threw all the cells of Hashirama into it. After a while, the blood pool had refined all the cells of Hashirama, and some bright red liquid appeared again. Although the amount of refined blood was not much, it gave people a feeling as bright as a ruby ​​and full of vitality.

Uchiha Feiyu jumped into the blood pool and started to practice the soul-swallowing and blood-refining method. In just over ten minutes, he had drained all the energy from the blood pool.

After tearing open the flesh cocoon again and coming out again, Uchiha Feiyu clenched his fists and could feel that his vitality had almost increased five or six times, and his chakra had skyrocketed to be several times stronger than that of an average Kage.

What is particularly special is that his chakra seems to be filled with a certain vitality. This vitality is the result of chakra's attainments in Yang escape, which is so powerful that it exceeds a certain limit.

After walking out of the cave, Uchiha Feiyu gently stroked a big tree and input the chakra full of vitality into it. The whole tree shook slightly and grew a few new buds.

"Tsk... this can be considered Wood Release... But I'm afraid my level can only be compared with that of Yamato who is doing landscaping."

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Feiyu shook his head with some disgust and gave up the idea of ​​using Wood Release.

Because it is inherited from the sacred tree and has the ability to absorb chakra, the power of Wood Release is indeed stronger than the general Bloodline Limit, but it is still far from being invincible.

Hashirama Senju can use Wood Release to defeat anyone in the world because he relies on the vast chakra of the Sage Body, plus the bonus of the Sage Mode. For an ordinary ninja, Wood Release is just a powerful bloodline limit.

Uchiha Feiyu has a lot of chakra in his body, and with the help of Hashirama's cells, he has even stimulated his incomplete sage body. But even so, after just an experiment, he can be sure that the power of his wood escape is definitely not strong.

"However, as long as I continue to refine Hashirama's cells, my sage body will continue to improve, and one day I will truly reach the level of Senju Hashirama..."

"It seems that I should go to the roots to see if there is a scroll of Wood Release Ninjutsu."

After practicing the Soul Devouring Blood Refining Technique so many times, Uchiha Feiyu gradually understood the principle of this spell to refine the blood.

Any ninja who possesses chakra will have their genes slightly changed because of the chakra, and the source of the change lies in the Otsutsuki clan.

Through the refining of the blood pool, the bloodline closest to the Otsutsuki in these ninjas, or something like genetic fragments, can be extracted and then absorbed through the Soul-Swallowing Blood Refining Method.

Naturally, this kind of refining has its own upper limit, which is that it is impossible to exceed the source of blood.

All the chakra in this world can be traced back to Kaguya Otsutsuki. Theoretically, if we harvest them one after another, it is possible to reach Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline.

But in fact, it was the Six Paths Sage who truly spread the chakra. Although his younger brother also left behind bloodline, in order to trace the bloodline, it would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to harvest the Hyuga clan.

In other words, even if Uchiha Feiyu's Soul Devouring and Blood Refining Technique is practiced to its limit, it can only bring him infinitely close to the Six Paths Sage.

Let's not talk about all these for now, and just talk about Hashirama's cells. Because the source comes from Senju Hashirama, no matter how many Hashirama cells are provided, the limit of refining, that is, obtaining the sage body of Senju Hashirama, cannot exceed the source of Senju Hashirama.

"Otherwise, I won't have to collect corpses anymore. As long as I keep absorbing Hashirama's cells, I can continue to refine my bloodline and become the next Otsutsuki."

He cut off this impossible delusion in his mind, and felt the surging chakra in his body. Even the pupil power in his eyes seemed to have increased a lot. Faintly, it seemed that two special ninjutsu were being nurtured in it.

Gently touching his eyes, Uchiha Feiyu smiled:
"The pupil power is almost approaching the level of a real kaleidoscope... No, it is also possible that it is directly an eternal kaleidoscope?"

"I didn't expect that Hashirama's cells would also have an effect on the evolution of the Uchiha bloodline. Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, they all have the same ancestor."

"Just like the chakra in the Uchiha clan is much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas, it should be a little bit of the remaining gift of the sage body. Similarly, the Senju clan may also have a little bit of the sage eye gene left, but it is too incomplete and impossible to develop it."

This tiny bit of incomplete gene cannot allow the Senju clan to possess the Sharingan, but it can be done by slightly completing the Sage's Eye gene of the Uchiha clan.

After returning to the Konoha Village, Uchiha Feiyu felt like he had nothing to do for a while. His strength could not improve rapidly if he continued to practice in a short period of time. It was also difficult to accumulate magical practice by relying on the Root missions.

"Why not let me go to the battlefield... Never mind, let's go to the Root and see if there are any missions?!"

I had made up my mind, but just as I arrived at the gate of the Root, two Root ninjas, Uchiha Hiba, said:
"Uchiha Feiyu, Lord Danzo wants to see you!"

"Tsk, what's the next mission? I hope we don't have to run too far this time."

Uchiha Feiyu said something with a bit of disgust, but the two Root ninjas pretended not to hear it and took Uchiha Feiyu to find Danzo.

"Fei Yu, you are here."

In the dark office, Danzo, with a bandage on his face, looked gloomy and cold. He didn't look like a good guy. But after seeing Uchiha Feiyu coming in, the Root leader forced a smile on his face.

Looking at Danzo's fake smile, Uchiha Feiyu wanted to complain, "Stop laughing, it's really too creepy." Fortunately, he managed to hold it back in the end. Instead, he asked about the mission:

"Who are you going to kill? Where? How many people are you going to kill?"
