Chapter 14 - The God Tree

"Oi wake up sleeping beauty".

As I opened my eyes I saw kick flying into my head, I tried to dodge it but found that I was stuck somehow.

"Bam!" The boot connected straight into the side of my head. My mind started to spin and I became dizzy, it was only until I focused that I saw who had just kicked me, his was a big muscular guy with scars all over his face and short black hair.

"Good now he's awake we can begin the fun part" I turned my head to look at the man with the sadistic smile on his face. I tried to jump forward only to realize that I was strapped to a chair.

"Ohh a fisty one, I like them the best," the man said before he threw a hit into my stomach.

It completely caught me by surprise because that needle, the liquid in it made me go unconscious and it's still affecting me. I go to activate my Mongekyou Sharingan to summon my Susanoo but as I do, I found that I couldn't.

"Ahhhha!" When I went activated my Sharingan immense pain hit me, it was like my brain and eyes were being stabbed by multiple burning swords at the same time.

"Ohh you don't want to do that mister" the man laughed "you see, we placed a seal on your eyes so you can't activate them, but when you try, even I don't want to imagine the pain you'd feel, ahaha!".

I couldn't hold on any longer and passed out from the intense pain.

"Hmm, ok good, when he wakes up we will begin the operation, surprisingly he has some Hashirama Senju cells, so when we inject him with more his healing ability will be even greater than the first Hokage." The doctor smiled "I can't wait to discover all his secrets, in time though, in time, hehehe" and he walked back to his laboratory.

After a while, I was woken up again, not kindly of course. Then I realized that I couldn't open my eyes, they had wrapped a seal around my eyes like a blindfold but then I realized that I couldn't use my chakra it was also sealed off.

"Ok start" they injected something weird into my arm and it began to spread around my body, but what I found weird was that it was strengthening my body it was like an unknown but similar energy was flowing through my blood.

What they had done to me, was inject cells into my body. It felt unfamiliar, because the Hashirama's cells that I had were fused with Indra's and Ashura's and also because it was a big amount. If it was anyone else they wouldn't have been able to handle his cells and probably would've died already.

After they injected Hashirama Senju's cell into my body, the past few days I had been constantly tortured all day and night to see how effective the cells were. I can't even begin to explain the pain that I was in, I begged for death even if it was a slow one, but due to my healing ability that had been strengthened due to the cells, I was kept at death's door unable to knock and enter.

To the scientist surprise since the cells fused perfectly with my own, my healing ability was insane I could regrow fingers in a half a day, and it would only take under a week for me to regrow a leg or arm. This surprised them treaty so they carried on injecting more cells into my body until I hit a limit but my healing ability did improve as it would now take just under three days to regrow a limbs. Then they continued with the testing.

I had screamed until I lost my voice but it always healed, I was cursing my inhuman healing ability and my own life. I sat there in the chair surrounded by a puddle of my own blood contemplating the meaning of life because it just seemed to be full of suffering and pain.

"AAAAHHHHHHhha!".

"Heh brat you're starting to make me feel sorry for you" the man laughed "maybe I'll kill you to end it".

I couldn't even respond I didn't have the ability to, even though I wanted it so bad, I just wanted him to end my life already, at this point I didn't even care how he would do it. I couldn't even breathe properly as I sat there chained to the chair, I couldn't even bite my tongue off to drown myself in my own blood as they tied a towel around my mouth so I wasn't able to bite.

The torture was endless and it was different each day. Sometimes they would have fun ripping out my toenails and fingernails and when they grew back every hour they would do it again. Other times they poured boiling water over me followed by ice-cold water and they would repeat it for hours. There were many other methods that they used like hammering nails into my body and then they would strike me with lightning.

When I passed out from the pain, each time they would always shock me to keep me awake. They continued this for months until my body had lost the ability to feel pain. Even with my healing abilities, I couldn't feel painalthough could still feel what they were doing, it was like my body had got used to the pain and it no longer cared for it. Since I couldn't feel the pain anymore I stopped screaming, but this only made them angrier and find new methods to hurt me but they all failed.

"Hmm, seems like he's ready for the next step, he's the first to ever survive, what kind of blood does he possesses because even we can't find out." The scientist said as he watched me getting tortured through the glass.

*Konan POV"

It's been a few months since the day Izuna disappeared. These past months I was at a complete loss for what to do. I knew that I wanted to find him even if he was already dead, I didn't care, if there was the smallest chance that he is alive I would risk everything for that one chance.

Right now she wasn't strong enough so she had been training herself to her limit. She knew that if she wanted to help him she had to get strong enough to take care of herself and be able to face multiple enemies.

Right now she was working on a technique that she called Dance of the Shikigami. It was a Jutsu that allowed her to turn into paper. This would be very helpful as it was great for escaping and avoiding attacks whilst it can also be used to assault the enemy.

*In the laboratory hidden on the island under the moon*

Three people could be seen looking toward a tree. But this wasn't just any tree it was the god tree, it was said that the god tree seed landed on Earth from a meteorite several millennia ago. It was believed that the God Tree nourished the land and helped it thrive, while in truth, the God Tree was slowly killing the land and its people, by draining natural energy from them. It was also believed that anyone who approached the tree was consumed by a demon spirit and died like a withered branch.

The god tree is a type of gigantic tree that grows by absorbing blood soaked into the ground from countless battles over a millennium. God Trees are born from Ten-tails itself which acts as the Tree's seedling. For it to blossom from its seedling state into the tree, it must be fed the life of an Ōtsuki. Every thousand years the god tree produces a 'chakra fruit' The healthier and stronger the sacrifice is, the more powerful the Chakra Fruit it produces.

This was prove true by the group of extremist as they had been secretly norishing the tree for the past few hundred years, to strengthen the fruit. Yes this group had been around for hundreds of year's, they started out as a small clan that worshipped the tree then they gradually learnt more secrets about it and they desired its power to rule the world.

Whoever can harvest and eat these fruits can gain their powerful chakra for themselves, producing medicine that grants them their godlike power along with extended youth and longevity. They didn't know everything about the fruit they just thought that whoever eats the fruit can gain vast amounts of chakra, comparable to almost all the tailed beasts. It is not as much chakra as the ten tails but that's to be expected because the god tree comes from the ten tails.

So they planned to have Izuna eat the fruit and if his body could handle the powerful chakra, they would brainwash him and use him as their secret weapon to dominate the world.

For the past few hundred years, this group of extremists was trying to find someone that could withstand the power of the fruit. They had tried many times in the past but none had even been able to get close to the tree, as they would get possessed and become nourishment for the god tree.

That's why they were trying to strengthen Izunas mind and body through intense torture. To be able to get the fruit of the god tree one had to be able to withstand the demons that would attack both the mind and body, if they couldn't withstand it they would be possessed and become food for the tree.

This is why they gave Hashiramma cell to Izuna to strengthen his body, also the intense torture that the put him through strengthen his body to the point that he didn't feel pain because he had felt it so much that it was normal for him. All that was left in their plan was to strengthen his mind and brain wash him so that he would follow their orders and not be a threat.

"Time to proceed with the plan".
