The natural energy in the ninja world, while more abundant than on ordinary planets, ultimately doesn't foster an environment suitable for the Ootsuki clan.
They are essentially space nomads.
The birth of a single Kaguya almost completely drains the natural energy of an entire planet, turning millions of acres of land into sand. It's easy to imagine how demanding the resource conditions are.
Therefore, in the ninja world, the descendants of the Ootsuki clan's bloodline are constantly weakening.
Of course, this is ignoring freaks like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.
In the eyes of the genie, the extraordinary power in the ninja world, including Chakra and natural energy, is dynamically conserved.
Perhaps, there is a slight increase due to solar energy radiation and the increasing number of ninjas, but this is on a scale of thousands of years. In the short term, the change is almost negligible.
Moreover, the scope of the ninja world actually includes the Pure Land.
The special spiritual space created by the Sage of Six Paths, although possibly not a one-way trip, generally has more coming in than going out.
The environment is poor, and people like the Senju and Uchiha don't have the ability to replenish their Chakra with pills like Ootsuki Momoshiki. They can only accept this gradual process.
White Zetsu, however, faces a different situation.
They were originally weapons created by Ootsuki Kaguya, stored within the Ten-Tails. But a thousand years ago, Kaguya was defeated, her spirit was sealed, and her Chakra was drained. The Ten-Tails became the current Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Changing instantly from fertile soil to a desert wasteland, most of the White Zetsu withered and died, but a small number survived in a new form.
Affected by the Divine Tree, they do possess Ootsuki bloodline traits and are legitimate plant people, but their strength is nothing like Kaguya or Momoshiki's earth-shattering power. They are merely at the level of a mid-Genin.
Originally, Orochimaru regarded White Zetsu as defective products, highly weakened versions of the First, but now it seems that this view is biased.
Over thousands of years, the White Zetsu's bloodline has stabilized, and they can even be considered a weak branch of the Ootsuki clan.
As the genie said, the fusion of the two becoming weaker might actually be normal.
But this doesn't mean White Zetsu is worthless.
Orochimaru licked his lips and took out a document from a scroll. The genie peeked at it. "Gene fusion?"
Having spent so much time with Orochimaru, he understood some theoretical knowledge. Fusion is divided into three types:
Limb fusion, like Danzo's right arm in the original timeline. This method is quite inferior, with severe rejection reactions and the risk of going berserk.
Cell fusion, which is what Orochimaru was working on before, involves partial cell fusion or perfect cell fusion... similar to plant grafting. Once successful, it will become very stable.
As for the last type, the genie didn't quite understand how it was done, but from the name, he could guess that it was the most thorough.
"That's right."
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a dark light.
"Perfect fusion of First Hokage cells is incredibly difficult. Many key points can't be resolved. But if we first completely fuse it with similar White Zetsu genes, the situation might improve."
Normal humans and Ootsuki plant people have different levels of resistance when facing the invasion of First Hokage cells.
"Why not use cell fusion?" the genie asked doubtfully. "It worked on the Uchiha. It should work on you too, right?"
Orochimaru licked his lips and clenched his fingers into a fist. "I want the best."
Although that's what he said, the reality is that White Zetsu clones are exceptionally stable and have the potential to achieve gene fusion.
As for First Hokage cells, Orochimaru would be satisfied if they reached the level of cell fusion.
"Next, the Uchiha Clan's fusion surgery..."
Orochimaru suppressed the desire in his heart and planned to continue with cell fusion according to the previous plan, refining the data.
Gene fusion, however, would have to be done on others because he himself did not possess the Ootsuki clan's bloodline.
Bang!
A puff of white smoke rose, and a one-eyed viper appeared, slithering to Orochimaru's feet and respectfully spitting out a letter.
Orochimaru glanced at the letter Kabuto sent back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Interesting."
...
Hokage's office.
After Orochimaru sat down in his seat, all the village personnel were considered to be present.
The scale of this meeting was much larger than the last one. Basically, all the village elders and ninja clan leaders were present. Even Danzo, who had been reclusive lately, attended, sitting silently in the Hokage advisor's seat, resembling a gloomy statue.
Orochimaru glanced at Danzo, his gaze slightly narrowed. He could feel that the other party was showing a strength compared to his previous old state.
Has there been progress in the research of First Hokage cells?
"..."
The Third waved his hand, suppressing the noise in the meeting room, and then spoke, "Yesterday, Kusagakure attacked the Land of Iron and conquered it in one battle. The samurai village has now been destroyed, with only a few samurai managing to escape."
The meeting room was silent for a moment, then instantly erupted.
Although the Land of Iron is a neutral country, this neutrality didn't come from the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Although partly because much of the Land of Iron is a cold and barren land of little value, the strength of the samurai cannot be underestimated.
If the Kusagakure Ninja came out in full force, their strength might only be comparable to that of Land of Iron, so to destroy Land of Iron so quickly is almost unimaginable.
The Third looked around the room, his gaze pausing on Orochimaru. Those who had attended the previous meeting glanced discreetly at Orochimaru.
Most of them guessed that this was probably the work of the monster inside the ' коробка of Paradise,' and that Kusagakure was not like Dragon Orchid of the Flower Faction had thought. Instead, they possessed the ability to control it.
The fact that they could destroy the samurai of Land of Iron meant that Kusagakure's current strength had to be watched.
But these were not the first things to consider. With Konoha's current size, Kusagakure would never dare to attack.
Nara Shikaku understood the cause and effect, and continued to watch from the sidelines, while the two Hokage advisors cast glances at him, hinting repeatedly.
Nara Shikaku's eyes flickered for a moment, and he spoke, "The samurai of the Land of Iron have suffered heavy casualties. Now is a good time to incorporate it into the Land of Fire."
Unlike the Five Great Ninja Villages, the ninja villages and political parties of small countries are not separate, but entangled very badly, almost as one.
The Land of Iron is even more so. The samurai being defeated is almost equivalent to the collapse of the Land of Iron's government. If the Land of Fire acts at this time, it is not violating the alliance and is in line with order.
It's somewhat ironic that Kusagakure, because it is weak, can act recklessly, while Konoha, because it is strong, has many concerns.
Because Konoha almost represents the greatest order in the ninja world, if it begins to disregard the rules, it is equivalent to pushing the ninja world into chaos again.
Therefore, it is necessary to have 'justifiable grounds'.
