Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 90 Return to the Village and Dialogue

"Forehead!"

When the battle was over, Shisui immediately knelt on the ground, covering his eyes. Bright red blood flowed down his eyelids.

"Shisui?" Kane and Hongdou instantly came in front of Shisui.

"I'm fine." Shisui's kaleidoscope had faded, revealing his black pupils. Not only his eyes, but his body was also in severe pain.

Lu Nie inserted a needle into his neck and pushed the liquid in the needle.

Soon, Shisui felt that his poor physical condition was recovering rapidly, including his aching eyes, which were soothed by a cool feeling and the pain disappeared.

The vision that was a little blurry before became clear again.

"Deal with it first, and when we get back to the lab, I'll conduct a complete test on your physical condition." Lu Nie said to Shisui who had released his hands that were covering his eyes and stood up.

Shisui nodded.

He didn't ask any further questions about the injection that Lu Nie gave him and the subsequent tests.

With the cooperation of the Uchiha clan, the technical development department has the complete physical data of the Uchiha clan. From the one magatama to the mangekyo, all have been studied by Orochimaru and Lu Nie.

Before that, the Technology Development Department, or Orochimaru, had the most and most powerful bloodline data, which was the Wood Release of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

It has long been no secret in Orochimaru's team that the first generation cells can make up for the sequelae of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō to a certain extent.

The only difficulty lies in how to strike a balance between the two bloodlines.

A mass of white substance suddenly emerged from Shisui's body, swelling wildly in the wind and forming a humanoid monster covered in white.

"Wood Release and the power of nature?" The white monster that broke away from Shisui was pinned to the spot by a black shadow before it could escape when it stepped onto the ground.

"What is this?" Hongdou was frightened by the sudden appearance of the strange man. She thought it was a new enemy, and the flames on her fist almost hit the other person's face.

Shadow strangulation!
A pitch-black arm snaked up the white monster's body and tightly grasped his neck.

Click!

The weirdo's head drooped.

"It looks like some kind of parasitic ninjutsu." Lu Nie was a little surprised when he saw the unexpected appearance of White Zetsu. He immediately took out a spare storage scroll and sealed White Zetsu's body inside.

According to his vague memory, White Zetsu's body was similar to Shin's body, and it also involved Wood Release.

He had always wanted to find a White Zetsu to study, but he had never actually seen one until today.

Was it because of the contact with the Akatsuki trio?
Or is it because of Uchiha Shisui?
Lu Nie thought about the reasons why he was targeted and parasitized by White Zetsu, and after thinking it over, it seemed that there were only the above two possibilities.

To be on the safe side, Lu Nie used the power of nature to check his own and Hong Dou's bodies again, and no accidents occurred.

The only one that was parasitized was the one on Shisui's body.

"What should we do with him? Should we take him back to the village?"

While watching Luna seal the monster's body in the scroll, Anko's eyes fell on Kakuzu who was still standing motionless on the other side of the venue.

"Let the cat take him back again."

As Lu Nie spoke, he used chakra to stimulate the seal on his abdomen. As the palm pressed on his abdomen was pulled out, a small blue cat-shaped beast landed lightly on the ground.

"You really know how to boss people around."

The cat hunched its body on the ground again, complained, then started running quickly towards Kakuzu. A black shadow opened up as its body leaped forward, like a black curtain, completely enveloping the unresisting Kakuzu, and they disappeared together on the spot.

A pool of black shadow rushed back as fast as flowing water and merged into Lu Nie's shadow.

……

After returning to Konoha Village, Lu Nie and the other two immediately went to the Hokage Building to hand over the mission. After reading the mission report submitted by Lu Nie, the Third Hokage suddenly asked.

"How are they?"

Although the Third Hokage's question was very abrupt and out of context, Lu Nie and the other two all understood who he was asking.

"How should I put it, it's in line with Senior Jiraiya's preferences." After thinking for a while, Lu Nie gave an answer that made the Third Hokage raise an eyebrow.

"What are Jiraiya's preferences?" The Third Hokage thought of his disciple whose wretched figure could always be seen near the hot spring, and his expression became a little tense for a moment.

"Kindness and the pursuit of peace." Lu Nie replied: "Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, among which Yahiko is the core of the three. His personality and character are somewhat similar to Minato-senpai."

"This evaluation is not low!" The Third Hokage was a little surprised. He was surprised that Lu Nie would have such a high evaluation of Yahiko.

As a rising leader of the new generation of Konoha, Minato Namikaze seems like a perfect existence.

He is powerful, humble, and friendly. He has a fervent love for the village and the Will of Fire, and is a terrifying god of death to his enemies.

Any ninja in the village who has come into contact with and cooperated with him has nothing but praise for him, and his reputation among the villagers is that of a respected and loved figure.

In Kakuni's words, Yahiko from the Land of Rain can actually be compared with Minato Namikaze, which indeed aroused the Third Hokage's stronger interest.

"It's just that they are similar in character." Lu Nie added: "In fact, whether in terms of strength or vision, he can't be compared with Minato-senpai yet."

"That's also excellent." The Third Hokage smiled and did not let Lu Nie and the other two who had completed their tasks leave. He put down the work at hand, stood up and walked to the window of the Hokage's office. He looked at the scenery outside the window while smoking his pipe, as if he was thinking about something.

"You said that their Akatsuki organization has already reached a certain scale and influence?" The Third Hokage suddenly asked after a moment.

"Yes, Shisui, Anko, and I have been to the Akatsuki base. They already have about a hundred ninjas, and their reputation in the Rain Country is not bad.

For that country, the peace philosophy advocated and pursued by Yahiko will naturally attract many people who hate war and pursue peace to join. "

Lu Nie answered seriously.

"What about Hanzo? What about the Rain Ninja? What is their attitude towards the existence of this organization?" The Third Hokage asked. "According to what we have learned, Hanzo has not appeared in public for a long time. As for the Rain Ninja, their attitude towards the Akatsuki organization is somewhat ambiguous.

There were frictions between the two sides, but both sides were very restrained. "Lu Nie reported everything he had heard.

"Has there been friction? It seems that the Akatsuki organization is still powerful." The Third Hokage nodded.

There are frictions amid irreconcilable contradictions, but both sides exercise restraint. No matter how you look at it, the strength of both sides is not so great as to be like a chasm.

Without sufficient strength, there will be no restraint, and the Akatsuki organization will be wiped out during the friction phase.

Of course, the Third Hokage would not really think that the Akatsuki organization could be compared with the Rain Village. After all, Hanzo of the Rain Village did not take any action in the conflict.

But no matter what, Akatsuki has become another ninja group force independent of the Rain Village and cannot be ignored in the Land of Rain.

After letting Lu Nie and the other two leave, Danzo Shimura appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Let me go to the Land of Rain, Hiruzen." Danzo Shimura stood in front of the office, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting in the chair opposite him, and asked.

"What are you going to do?" The Third Hokage frowned slightly.

"Since Akatsuki has such a relationship with Konoha, we must bring them into the Fire Nation's camp." Danzo Shimura said seriously, leaning on a cane.

"They have grown to a certain size now, and conflicts with the Rain Village are inevitable. If possible, it would be good for us to let Jiraiya's disciple become the leader of the Rain Village."

"That Yahiko wouldn't be the one who started a war with Rain Village." The Third Hokage shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to use them to participate in the war."

"Let him see his situation clearly, then he won't be so naive!" Shimura Danzo snorted coldly: "Pursuing peace? A vision that Konoha has not even achieved. A new organization founded by three young people in the Land of Rain, humph..."

"Let me think about it." The Third Hokage certainly had no doubt that his old partner could do what he said. As the Dark of Konoha, the Shimura Dan's style of hiding outside was more radical and more unscrupulous than in the village.

He said that if he could make the Akatsuki members realize their situation, then they would inevitably be forced into a near desperate situation.

"What are they considering? Since they have received Konoha's assistance, they must obey Konoha's orders! When did Orochimaru become gentle?
Now the energy of Rock Village and Sand Village is focused on Cloud Village. This is one of the few opportunities we can seize. Let me go. No matter whether it is Akatsuki or Rain Village, one of them must stand on the side of Konoha. "

Shimura Danzo's tone was cold.

"Don't mess around! Yahiko and the other two are Jiraiya's disciples." The Third Hokage glared at Danzo Shimura.

"He is a ninja of Konoha first! He should do things in the interest of Konoha! If Akatsuki is unwilling to obey Konoha's orders, then find someone to replace them. At most, I will spare the lives of those three people and let them join the Root!" Danzo Shimura said bluntly.

"I've asked Jiraiya to come back! You go take over from him and be responsible for searching and driving away the ninja team that sneaked into Kirigakure." The Third Hokage shook his head again and said quickly, "Leave the Rain Country to Jiraiya and Kane."

……

Technology Development Department.

In Lunie's laboratory.

Kakuzu, who had just regained consciousness, felt his body was extremely heavy. His emerald eyes swept over Kane who was standing beside him.

"Are you awake, Mr. Kakuzu?" Without even raising his head, Kane used the chakra scalpel to cut another black tentacle from Kakuzu's body.

"Ahem! Bastard! What did you do to me?"

Feeling the silence of the chakra in his body, Kakuzu did not show any expression of panic or fear. He had a good acceptance of this scene.

"As you can see." Lu Nie placed the black tentacle in his hand into another instrument.

Judging from the data analyzed right now, the Earth Grudge is indeed an S-level forbidden technique. Apart from transforming the user into someone who looks nothing like a human, it is extremely powerful in terms of auxiliary functions.

The mere fact that a person could gain additional lifespan simply by constantly replacing hearts is astonishing.

"Mr. Kakuzu, do you want to cooperate?" Lu Nie stood in front of Kakuzu again, "If you cooperate with my research, I will upgrade your Earth Grudge."

"Di Yuan Yu is perfect!" Kakuzu, who was lying on the test bench with only his head able to move, opened his mouth and said with difficulty.

“It can be seen that your five hearts were carefully selected, and you also researched corresponding compound ninjutsu based on the five major chakra attributes.

But your ceiling is always there! To put it bluntly, Mr. Kakuzu, you are like a bankrupt version of the Third Hokage."

Kane and Kakuzu looked at each other and said calmly.

The so-called compound ninjutsu is not just using two ninjutsu of chakra nature together. You need to consider the coordination between the ninjutsu and the ninjutsu, the ratio of chakra, which type of ninjutsu is the main one and which type of ninjutsu is the auxiliary one.

For example, the most common compound ninjutsu combination, Fire Style and Wind Style, uses Fire Style as the main killing force and Wind Style as the auxiliary.

Most jonin can combine two types of ninjutsu, but when it comes to combining three types of chakra, the difficulty will suddenly increase to a higher level.

After all, the targeting, restraint, fusion of chakra properties, and the combination of ninjutsu, without a deep study and understanding of ninjutsu and chakra, as well as the influence of many ninjutsu, it is difficult to successfully exert the power of more than three compound ninjutsu.

As for the best in compound ninjutsu, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is undoubtedly the top figure in the ninja world today.

The title of Doctor is well deserved!

"So how do you plan to upgrade my Earth Grudge? I've reached its limit." Although Kakuzu was a little unhappy that Kane described his strength as a bankrupt version of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not dwell on this issue too much, but asked the key question.

"Have you ever considered fusing the heart of a bloodline ninja?" Lu Nie said softly.

"Are you crazy?" Kakuzu's eyes widened. He had never thought that Lu Nie's idea would be so crazy!
"It seems you have tried it?" Seeing Kakuzu's changing expression, Lu Nie's eyes flashed with curiosity. "What was the result? Tell me!"

"I failed. I couldn't fuse the bloodline ninja's heart, and that heart caused damage to the Earth Blame." Kakuzu was silent for a moment, but still replied: "The Earth Blame can only accept hearts of a single nature. Even if a ninja has multiple chakra attributes, only one will be accepted by the Earth Blame."

"Then it seems that it still has room for evolution, right?" Lu Nie said with a satisfied smile.

"I only have one heart!"

Facing Lu Nie's smiling face, Kakuzu was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, If the experiment fails and affects his last heart, then he will go to the Pure Land without dying.
