"Hmm~"
As the cell serum was injected into her body, Hikari made a soft sound!
Her brows furrowed as well!
"Hikari, are you alright?" Seeing Hikari in this condition, Genya felt some concern in his heart.
On Hikari's pale arm, waves of movement appeared, with green light flickering as chakra spread.
The green light began to spread in the basement!
Vines emerged from the ground, but as they grew to a certain point, Hikari controlled them, causing them to bloom into flowers.
The tempting fragrance spread from them!
"Such perfect control over Wood Style. If she continues to grow, I wonder if she could reach Hayashi's level!" Genya began fantasizing about the future.
With the self-awakening Wood Style, these two siblings would surely become powerful, at least Jonins in the future!
"Genya-sama, I'm fine. It's just that my arm feels a little swollen!" Hikari nodded, giving Genya a reassuring look. "Genya-sama, I think I'll be able to complete the fusion in about a month and a half!"
Hikari hadn't expected this. While others might feel pain, she only felt some swelling and even warmth, which was somewhat comfortable!
"Hmm!" Genya nodded, his eyes showing some concern. "You two should rest for the next few days. Don't get involved in anything else."
"You don't need to worry about me, Genya-sama. The serum for Neji is almost ready!" Hikari said anxiously.
"You don't need to worry about that. Others will handle the research. Your task now is to rest and recover!" Genya shook his head.
Seeing Hikari's anxious expression, he added, "The more perfect your cell fusion is, the stronger you'll become, and you'll be able to help me even more in the future!"
"I understand, Genya-sama!" Hikari nodded seriously, determination in her eyes.
Genya was pleased. From today onward, he would no longer fight alone, and would have two more strong allies.
In the future, they could even grow into powerful ninjas!
"Genya-sama, what about me?" Senju Hayashi asked anxiously. He had finally increased his strength and wanted to help Genya as well!
"You should also rest and focus on practicing ninjutsu for now. Pay more attention to the achievements of the First Hokage. I will find some Wood Style ninjutsu for you to train in!" Genya looked at Senju Hayashi and seriously added, "In a year, I will send you outside to help me. By then, you'll be my first external aide!"
"Alright!" Senju Hayashi nodded seriously, his eyes filled with determination!
He was going to train hard!
To serve Genya!
Then, he looked at Hikari and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Hikari, you're not young anymore. Do you want to go to the Ninja Academy?"
"Go to the academy?" Hikari frowned, her tone carrying a hint of surprise.
"Yes, go to the Ninja Academy!" Genya said seriously while looking at her. "That guy Neji is going to be sent to the Ninja Academy next year. Don't you want to go?"
"I don't want to go. I can train by following Genya-sama, and besides, I still need to learn medical ninjutsu. It's not suitable for me to go to the Ninja Academy!" Hikari shook her head seriously. She wasn't suited to go to Ninja academy!
"Haha, well, if that's the case, I won't meddle with you!" Genya laughed heartily and didn't say anything further.
Hokage Office!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was flipping through a large scroll, but he stopped when he saw a particular ninjutsu.
Flying Thunder God!
He had tried learning this jutsu before but had no success!
He flipped through the scroll again,
And still nothing!
Was he really not talented enough to learn the Flying Thunder God technique?
He felt frustrated. If he could use the Flying Thunder God, he wouldn't have to let an assassin mess with him, and moreover, he wouldn't have to keep the Sarutobi clan hiding in Konoha, too afraid to go outside!
This was a humiliation!
A huge humiliation!
Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi was on duty. He saw Sarutobi Hiruzen constantly flipping through the Scroll of Seals and felt a bit down himself.
"Hokage-sama, this is the Scroll of Seals. Aren't the ninjutsu supposed to be dangerous and difficult to learn?" Kakashi said to Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Don't be upset because you can't learn the ninjutsu in it!"
Kakashi gently offered some words of comfort.
"This Scroll of Seals contains some ninjutsu that might help us catch the assassin. I must try!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he looked at Kakashi, explaining, "Everything is for Konoha!"
Kakashi nodded, but a hint of disdain flickered in his eyes.
Even now, Sarutobi Hiruzen still talks about Konoha like that!
The truth is, he just wants to learn. He had already gone through the ninjutsu in this Scroll of Seals and learned all the ones he could.
Heh.
Though some ninjutsu could harm the user's life, many of the forbidden ones might have other reasons for being sealed.
In the past, the First Hokage banned ninjutsu that were harmful to the body, but by the time of the Third Hokage, more and more ninjutsu were being forbidden.
Even the Flying Thunder God technique is in the Scroll of Seals?
Flying Thunder God is a very practical jutsu. But after the Fourth Hokage learned it, it seemed to have disappeared, and no one else could master it!
Such a versatile jutsu—can't others learn it too?
What about those ninjas who risked their lives for Konoha? Can't they learn it?
The more Kakashi thought about it, the more indignant he felt!
As for the ban on looking at the Scroll of Seals, that was only for outsiders. There were still some special cases, people who would never be prohibited from accessing it!
As he thought, Kakashi's guilt began to lessen a little.
"I've finished reading. You can return the Scroll of Seals now," the Third Hokage sighed after a long while, handing the Scroll of Seals to Kakashi, asking him to return it.
Out of all these people, Kakashi was the one he trusted the most!
However, Kakashi was also one of the people he had brainwashed the most successfully. Next were Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
These three were all highly talented individuals and were his pillars in Konoha!
With their support, along with the backing of the Sarutobi clan and the other three clans of the Konoha Council, his position as Hokage would be secure.
Kakashi took the scroll and walked out!
The next day.
A red cloth was hanging on the third tree at the village entrance!
Genya, who had originally planned to stay home and chat with Hikari, suddenly saw the red cloth hanging!
His eyes narrowed.
Kakashi had made progress so quickly, and this was a notice that he could go watch it?
It made him feel an unexpected excitement!
Could it be that he's trying to scheme against me?
Genya looked at the red cloth and murmured softly, This is the Scroll of Seals. Kakashi has already allowed me to watch it so soon?
Could it be,
That Sarutobi Hiruzen won't suspect him?
But, this time, whether it's a scheme or something more sinister,
He must go. The contents of the Scroll of Seals are worth him wasting a shadow clone!
With that thought, his expression turned serious.
That night.
Genya divided half of his chakra to create a shadow clone and then changed into a black cloak.
"Main body!" The shadow clone gave Genya a wicked smile!
"Do you know today's task?" Genya asked, looking at the shadow clone.
"Find the Scroll of Seals and remember its contents!" The shadow clone nodded seriously, and a flash of determination appeared in his eyes.
"The most important ninjutsu is something you already know. First, remember those techniques, then look at the other ninjutsu. Go to the lab tomorrow during the day to find me!" Genya gave another instruction.
"Understood!" The shadow clone nodded, then left the house and headed toward Kakashi's residence.
