Chapter 66: ch66
"Look, you're getting anxious again!"
Uchiha Nan looked at the furious Senju Tobirama, holding his forehead with one hand, feeling a sense of helplessness.
Tobirama, when will you be more mature?
Anyone who sees that the Shodaime-sama's body is still intact after death, with cells retaining a breath of life, would be curious and would certainly want to study it.
Even Uchiha Nan himself, who doesn't understand scientific experiments, realizes this. If Orochimaru were to come across it in the future, he would probably be ecstatic.
Uchiha Nan couldn't help but imagine the scene: Orochimaru, with an ambiguous gender, staring at Shodaime's body with a flushed, obsessed expression, might even lick Shodaime-sama's face with a forked tongue, savoring the essence of life.
No, that would be savoring the breath of life!
Huh. Uchiha Nan shuddered and immediately stopped his imagination.
"You bastard!"
"You not only desecrated my soul, but also my elder brother's body!"
"One day, you will face retribution!"
Senju Tobirama cursed angrily. It wasn't enough to desecrate his own grave; Uchiha Nan had also violated his elder brother's.
This was truly intolerable!
Huh?
Uchiha Nan widened his eyes. Tobirama, you have the nerve! You invented the Impure World Reincarnation. After Senju Hashirama died, you were the first to experiment on his body.
If there's retribution, you'd be first in line!
"Senju Tobirama, don't act all righteous. You've experimented with the First Hokage's cells for a long time. His body is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Don't tell me you aren't tempted!"
"Are you really blaming me now?"
Uchiha Nan's rebuttal left Senju Tobirama speechless. He was right on target.
When Hashirama died, Tobirama was the first to notice the anomaly in his body.
The man was dead, yet his cells were alive?
This defied all logic!
Tobirama always had a lingering question. They shared the same parents. As children, Hashirama didn't seem more talented or stronger than him.
Then he met that scoundrel Uchiha Madara, and his brother's strength skyrocketed. Later, he unlocked Wood Release, and his power surged to unimaginable levels.
When Tobirama saw the unscientific state of his brother's body, it was like discovering the world's most precious treasure. He wanted to dissect his brother to uncover the secret of his power.
But Tobirama was rational. If he dissected his brother's body, his sister-in-law, Uzumaki Mito, might dissect him. So, he only took a little blood and a few cells.
If needed, he could culture more cells from these samples.
"I advise you not to tamper with my brother's body. The secrets are complex and beyond your control!"
Tobirama warned Uchiha Nan with a serious expression.
His initial experiments with Hashirama's cells were heavily funded but terrifying.
Tobirama showed regret. Discovering that Hashirama's cells could grant Wood Release power was thrilling.
If his brother's Wood Release power could be replicated, even at a fraction of its strength, Konoha's power would leap forward.
But he was too hasty and underestimated the cells' corrosiveness. Assuming family members would be more compatible, he secretly recruited clan volunteers.
Hashirama's Wood Release had dominated the ninja world. Every Senju yearned for this power. They eagerly volunteered, ignoring the risks. The outcome was tragic. All died horribly, their bodies mutated into trees.
This angered Tobirama. So many clan members died with no gain. The experiment was too dangerous, so he closed it.
"The Senju clan lost many members then."
"Uchiha Nan, you should abandon this. Even Senju, closely related to my brother, were incompatible with Hashirama cells, let alone other ninjas."
Tobirama shared his past experiments, hoping to deter Uchiha Nan. Hashirama cells were dangerous, risking many lives.
"I know, but Tobirama, your approach is flawed. Hashirama cells are corrosive. Why not find a medium to offset this?"
Uchiha Nan acknowledged the cells' danger and suggested a new approach.
"Hmph, do you think I didn't consider that?"
"I tried, but never found a way to contain Hashirama cells."
Tobirama looked smug. An Uchiha who only knew how to fight dared to lecture a scientific master.
"No, I know!"
Uchiha Nan smiled confidently. Familiar with the story, he knew only Uchiha could suppress Hashirama's cells. Whether it was Uchiha cells, Sharingan, or Sharingan's pupil power, he wasn't sure.
With a direction established, the rest was up to Tobirama.
"It's naturally Uchiha!"
"Don't you see Uchiha and Senju are complementary? Our fates have intertwined for millennia."
"Who else can handle Hashirama's cells but Uchiha?"
"Whether it's Uchiha cells, Sharingan, or Sharingan's power, that's your research task."
"I'll provide everything you need. We have plenty of Sharingan in the clan for you."
"I don't care about the cost; I want Hashirama's power!"
Tobirama's eyes lit up at Uchiha Nan's answer. This was an idea he hadn't considered. Though it sounded strange, it was worth trying.
After all, the resources were Uchiha Nan's. He wasn't concerned about others' sacrifices.
"If it succeeds, it means Uchiha and Senju are truly destined."
"Maybe a thousand years ago, Uchiha was the elder brother and Senju the younger, but an unfair father divided the family, causing a rift."
Uchiha Nan mused aloud, though it sounded absurd.
But to Tobirama, these words were grating.
Uchiha and Senju as one family?
Uchiha as the elder brother?
You're speaking nonsense!
"You're speaking nonsense!"
Tobirama's face darkened, and he wanted to punch Uchiha Nan. This guy always found ways to irritate him.
