Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world
Page 99
It’s not because he was worried that Gojo Jieyue would attack him. Even if there was a trap set underground, he could activate Susanoo and demolish it all the way out. Even the worst scenario would not trap him.
What made him uneasy was that the environment here easily reminded people of the “taboo of Konoha”.
[Private environment], [Secret research], [Dark laboratory] and many other elements are connected together.
An extremely bold and taboo answer came to mind: [Human Experiment]
Gojo-kun, he is conducting human experiments in secret? !
Fugaku cautiously probed: “Gojo-kun, are you doing that kind of thing in this laboratory?”
“Hmm~” Gojo Jieyue snapped his fingers and said, “That’s right Fugaku, it’s what you were thinking~”
hiss–
Uchiha Fugaku’s body trembled, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a breath of cold air.
It was like meeting this good friend, the elder of Konoha who carried the thirty-one clans of the two capitals on his shoulders, for the first time.
He really wanted to ask, does the fourth generation know about this taboo?
One bright, one dark, these characters give a strong sense of déjà vu.
Fugaku was vaguely worried. Was Gojo-kun going to follow the same path as Danzo and the Sandaime?
They were both close friends, one was in the open while the other was in the dark. But no matter what their relationship was, if this taboo was exposed, the Fourth Generation would definitely punish Gojo-kun.
[Human experimentation], this is a taboo in Konoha.
As for when it became synonymous with taboo… probably it started with the first Hokage.
Because he possessed the magical Wood Release Ninjutsu that was unique in the ninja world, human experimentation became taboo in order to prevent people from stealing his cells for research after his death.
No one wants to become research material after their death.
Although it is a taboo, according to the inherited information of the Uchiha clan, they have been conducting human experiments in secret since the second generation, and it is hard to say whether his brother is included in the experimental subjects.
The same was true of Danzo during the Sandaime period.
There was no solid evidence for the first two, but when it came to the Fourth Hokage Gojo-kun… he directly brought himself to the forbidden laboratory.
This is a tradition passed down from generation to generation in the Naruto series.
Fugaku didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This could be considered as integrating into the real core power circle of Konoha.
“You know the rules, Fugaku. Things here cannot be revealed to others. For now, it’s enough for you and me to know.”
“Including the Yondaime?”
“Including Mrs. Mikoto.”
The two looked at each other in the deep underground laboratory and understood the meaningful look in each other’s eyes.
“So, what is it?”
“Fugaku, how much do you know about Izanagi?”
“Izanagi?”
Fugaku was startled by the scope of the topic, but he quickly reacted and said after a moment’s silence:
“It is unknown when and which tribe member developed Izanagi.”
“After years of research and development, almost every member of the tribe who has opened his eyes can learn it… As for whether they can learn to use it, it depends on their individual talent.”
“The price is that the Sharingan will lose its light forever.”
“At the cost of a regular Sharingan, activating Izanagi will allow you to rewind your physical condition to one minute ago.”
“In theory, the stronger your pupil power is, the longer you can go back in time.”
Uchiha Fugaku did not hide anything and revealed the secrets of the Uchiha clan without reservation.
“What about the Mangekyō Sharingan? If you, Fugaku, use Izanagi, how far back in time can you go?”
“I?”
After being reminded by Gojo Kegetsu, Fugaku suddenly raised his head.
There was one point that he had always overlooked.
He just thought that the mysterious ninja with the Sharingan was dead, but forgot to consider the possibility that the other party also learned Izanagi.
Even he himself deduced that the other party was a ninja possessing the [Right Eye Mangekyō Sharingan], but ignored the possibility that he would sacrifice this eye to activate Izanagi.
“Gojo-kun, this is bad… I was careless and forgot to consider this possibility.”
“If the ninja who assassinated you had learned and used Izanagi, and his body had not been damaged, he would most likely have been resurrected by now!”
“Heh… it’s because that guy hasn’t been resurrected yet that I was anxious to invite an expert like you, Fugaku, to this secret laboratory~”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already asked Minato to hand over the body to me. It’s now being kept in the laboratory under strict guard.”
After instructing Minato Namikaze about his final arrangements, Gojo Kegetsu brought Obito’s body to this laboratory and conducted a thorough examination.
It was confirmed that the opponent’s right eye had become blind. In other words, Obito activated Izanagi and would be resurrected at some point in the future.
Gojo Jieyue has always been a rude person.
After clarifying this piece of information, he immediately began to plan how to maximize Konoha’s interests.
Let’s first see what Obito has?
Pure White Zetsu cells, pure Hashirama cells, examples of Hashirama cell fusion, kaleidoscope-level eye power… It is no exaggeration to say that any scientist with a scientific spirit who sees this will want to develop this magical treasure trove of the human body.
There was no mercy in Gojo Kegetsu’s heart, and it was entirely Obito’s own choice to come to this point.
Since he has chosen to stick to his own ninja way and would rather blind himself than leave for Konoha, then don’t blame Uncle Gojo for being a bad person.
Before Black Zetsu comes knocking on your door, you have to develop your teeth!
Let’s put aside the mysterious research on cells and the like, which Gojo Jieyue didn’t quite understand.
To put it in the most intuitive way, Kakashi handed over his left eye and re-attached it to the extremely weak Obito, squeezing out the last bit of potential from his body and evolving his left eye into a Mangekyō.
The divine power on the right is no longer useful, but the divine power on the left must be retained.
Afterwards, Kakashi was compensated with some staffing, benefits, or the role of Obito’s meal replacement partner to make up for the loss of his left eye.
He, Gojo Kegetsu, is one of the only two men in the ninja world who possesses the Mangekyō.
How much prosperity can a pair of Mangekyō with Left Kamui bring to Konoha?
It’s hard to say.
Gojo Jieyue put his hands on Fugaku’s shoulders and said solemnly: “Fugaku, the consultant asks you, will the position of the overlord of the ninja world in Konoha Village come to you by itself?”
“Of course not.”
“Okay then! There are some things I don’t want to hide from you, so I can reveal some information to you.”
“I can tell you for sure that the masked ninja who assassinated me was once a member of the Uchiha clan, but I am now going to conduct human experiments on him.”
“Knowing this, will you stop me, Fugaku?”
“Hmph… Advisor Gojo, you underestimate the ninja way of Uchiha Fugaku.”
“As you said, the position of overlord will not come to you by itself.” Fugaku clenched his fist and said coldly, “I want to kill the Uchiha traitor who destroyed the village and the family’s reasons. I just don’t know which clan member he is?”
Gojo Jieyue was very satisfied with Fugaku’s answer, so he started to talk more: “Uchiha Obito, do you have any impression of him?”
“Obito? The Uchiha Obito who died in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge?”
Fugaku’s face was filled with astonishment. He had already received the clan’s internal self-examination report.
The list of candidates was very long, and Obito was among them, but Fugaku still didn’t expect that it would be Uchiha Obito.
He is only fifteen years old this year, right? A fifteen-year-old Kaleidoscope, what a terrifying talent. If only he hadn’t betrayed his clan…
This bastard, the Yondaime is his teacher and Gojo Counselor is his uncle, even with such a relationship he wants to kill people?
Fugaku felt a chill in his heart, that is, his relationship with Gojo Kegetsu. If their relationship was shallow, the things Obito was going to do would be enough to leave a stereotype in Gojo Kegetsu’s mind that “Uchiha is a naturally evil clan”.
Soon, Fugaku responded: “I remember that before Obito died, he entrusted his left eye to Kakashi… Because it was his own wish, and Kakashi was the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, even though there were many voices in the clan at the time, they finally acquiesced to this matter.”
“Yes.”
Gojo Jieyue said coldly: “After that, please cooperate with me, Fugaku, to get Kakashi’s left eye back and complete the experiment of evolving the left eye into a Mangekyō. Also, the fact that the masked man is Obito must be kept secret from Kakashi and the Yondaime.”
“I’m worried. They’re not sharp enough, nor cruel enough.”
“I am different. I will do my best to do things that are beneficial to Konoha, and I will eliminate those who are harmful to Konoha without hesitation.”
Fugaku took a deep breath and felt the tremendous pressure from his good friend.
Such a Gojo Jieyue is really too cruel. Perhaps, this is the purest will of the “root”. Different from Danzo, he truly abandoned his selfish desires and devoted himself to the village.
“Yes!”
“In the name of the Uchiha, I will fully support Gojo-kun’s plan.”
“Haha, don’t be so serious Fugaku, relax.”
“Come on. Now I’ll take you to see the ghost of this Uchiha.”
After spending another three minutes wandering around in this laboratory that was like an underground maze, the two of them walked in one after the other through a heavy door.
As soon as he entered, Fugaku saw Uchiha Obito’s “corpse” with various tubes inserted into it.
The other end of the tube was connected to various sophisticated instruments that he could not understand.
Behind the instruments, there are many scientific researchers busy calculating something.
It seemed that white substance was being extracted from Uchiha Obito’s body one tube after another, and then injected into the mice by scientific researchers.
Each project list is also marked with the name of the experiment:
[White Zetsu Cell Utilization Experiment], [Hashirama Cell Fusion Experiment], [Kaleidoscope Chakra Analysis]…
Each of them is a scientific experiment proposed by Gojo Kegetsu and is in line with the characteristics of the ninja world.
Abbreviated as… Ninko!
The Ninja world has a scientific system!
Although Gojo Jieyue was a semi-illiterate and didn’t know much about these, Ninja Science at the cellular level did exist.
Gojo Kegetsu’s materialistic worldview has always been firmly human. The Mangekyō Sharingan can be seen as a genetic mutation of the Sharingan, and the same is true for the Rinnegan and the Samsaragan.
However, the content involved is too complicated, and the current level of ninja science in the ninja world is unable to crack the mystery.
This is a long and difficult road, and Gojo Jieyue doesn’t expect to bear fruit soon.
Anyway, let’s spread the seeds first. What if the experiment succeeds one day? He was the first to inject Hashirama’s cells into his own body.
Actually, thanks to Obito’s capture, this top-secret laboratory officially started the project today. But there are still many instruments that were purchased at a high price and are not being used.
“One day I’ll go visit the Hyuga clan and ask them to donate a pair of Byakuyan.”
Volume 111: “Respect from the Twenty Ryo Cash from the Musha Merchant Road”
“Uchiha Obito, open your eyes.”
“Don’t look back Obito, I am Black Zetsu.”
“Who is speaking?!”
In a trance, Uchiha Obito suddenly opened his eyes.
The dead soul of Uchiha is resurrected!
What meets the eye is a void.
When a person loses his vision, what he sees is not the darkness when he closes his eyes, but the empty space where he can see nothing when he opens and closes his eyes.
Izanagi was successfully activated, and Obito lost the sight of his right eye forever.
But for ninjas, vision is not absolute. The chakra perception ability honed through years of fighting can be regarded as their third eye to some extent.
