Chapter 39: 36- Results
Was Hashirama strong because he was made of Hashirama cells, or was Hashirama cells strong because they were inside Hashirama?
This question has plagued the scientists of the shinobi world for decades, with no definitive answer.
But looking at the wiggling mass of cells in front of me, the only thing I could say is that, ’No matter how many times I see it, this thing creepy as fuck.’
Staying in this strange ’activated’ state, even after Hashirama passing away, this was used as a reference for me to create cell activators, which made my research possible.
"Let’s begin the final test. Tsuna-chan, on count of three, administer the cell activator." I commanded my only subordinate here, a very lovely medic, Tsunade Senju, sadly, she already had someone she loved, and was married, but thankfully, that man was me.
"On it. Boss!" She saluted back.
Cute.
"1... 2... and 3, now, do it." I shouted, and Tsunade pressed the button.
The captured Grass shinobi inside the experiment pod started to shiver furiously, but at that moment, I pressed the button in front of me.
The test subject had needles pierced all over his body, and on my button, clear green shiny fluid began entering his body slowly.
Then, nothing strange happened.
A few moments later, the tank containing natural energy fluid was empty.
The time to administer the cell stabilizer was here.
And with a push of the button, the stabilizer was administered.
"Well, time to check his condition." I said to Tsunade, who nodded in approval.
We took some samples from the test subject and started examining it.
And the results were surprising to say the least, I just looked at the results and exclaimed
"Holy shit... in terms of just physical resilience and strength, there’s about 500% boost, and he wasn’t strong enough to utilize the natural energy to its max...
Theoretically, with a Kage level being, we could push these numbers up to 1000%...
This almost completely renders physical training useless. God I hate physical training." Hehe, finally, take that, you shitty taijutsu fanatics.
Humph, no matter how much you train, can you increase your body’s healing power? Natural resilience? No, but I can do that.
"Sure, physical boost is great, but what about this 700% chakra boost? This is going to drive almost any shinobi crazy..." Tsunade muttered loudly.
"Hehe, when I take the position of the Hokage, I am going to create a division like the anbu, meant to be a last line of defence for the village, and they are all going to be enhanced with this process.
I think this natural energy enhancement can push chunin to elite jonin, jonin to kage, and ordinary kage levels to the peak of Kage level." I chuckled out sinisterly.
"Maybe before doing that, ask them for their consent, and plant loyalty mechanisms on them." And that’s my Tsunade, sure, being with me has corrupted her a bit, but that’s just way hotter, right?
"Good plan. Now let’s wake him up, and test his actual battle capacity." I said excitedly, and transported the subject to a training room, and activated all the seals around.
Yes, at this point, I was basically just playing around with seals.
Now, time to wake him up.
Tsunade was in the viewing room which I had set up, all set in complete gears, her purpose was to record and compare his data with his previous self.
"Wakey wakey, umm... what was his name again?" Maybe I forgot to ask for his name...
Anyways, what’s important is not his name, but his strength.
So, after some efforts, he finally managed to wake up, despite being a bit groggy.
But, after all the care and enhancements I gave him, he did not seem to be appreciative in the least...
"You... you demon, what did you do to me?" he asked with a shaky voice.
"Clearly, I helped you, check your body, and you would realize that you have reached a level which was impossible for the previous you to reach.
You have reached a level of strength where the world has to take you seriously." The easiest way to make him attack was to just inflate his ego, and make him conceited enough to attack me.
He began checking his body and chakra and shock filled his face, because he clearly felt his own strength, it was leagues better than what it was before.
A grin appeared on his face, then he looked at me, "You don’t seem very smart for all the ridiculous stuff you can do... After making me this strong, you appear here in front of me..."
He did not continue, but charged at me at full speed, trying to impale me with a kunai.
But seriously, he was just an elite jonin at best, and that was also because of his enhanced body and chakra, which he had not completely adjusted to.
His skills were clearly lacking.
So, I just swatted him away, then charged at him intending to attack him and check his details myself.
I did not use any ninjutsu, just took a sword, and used chakra enhancement of the body and the sword.
’His reaction speed is also higher...’ This was what excited me the most, sure chakra enhancement could boost my reaction speed.
But, as I said before, chakra enhancement works like a multiplier, the higher the base, the greater the effect.
For someone like me who has mastered the flying thunder god, a reaction speed enhancement is a major fighting power boost.
And if this can actually multiply my chakra 10 times over, I will be competing with the likes of Hashirama and Madara.
Though, there is also another factor at play here, because, the result of the enhancement will exactly be dependent on the affinity of the shinobi with nature chakra.
Therefore, someone like me, or people from the senju clan, who have high natural affinity, will have the greatest benefit from this nature chakra enhancement.
"Alright, the results have been recorded, and sadly for you, your purpose is fulfilled." I said, as I cast an illusion, freezing him abruptly.
With a simple swipe of the sword, he turned into the nearly headless Nick of the shinobi world.
"Everything has been recorded, right? There are absolutely no side effects, if anything, he’s a lot healthier than he was previously." I said, assessing the entire situation.
"Alright, so our experiment is finally a complete success, correct? Then I am the one getting the enhancement first!! Hehe, I have had enough of you being stronger than me! We will have a fight after I am done with the enhancement." Tsunade said excitedly.
"Now now, don’t get that excited, you are not gonna be my match even if you are enhanced by nature energy, I can use sage mode, remember?" I chuckled at her words, does she really think that this would be enough to defeat me?
Even after the enhancement, Tsunade would only be somewhere near the peak of Kage level.
"Ughh, fine, But we are still fighting, I want to make sure." She grumbled.
"Alright... Get ready then, into the pod, now." I sighed, and ordered.
