Chapter 179 Isn't this too hurtful to him?
One day later.
The Hokage's office.
An ANBU member bowed and said, "Lord Hokage, the Jonin meeting room is ready, and the clan heads are arriving one after another!"
"Have Uchiha Yuuki and Tsunade arrived?"
"We've arrived!"
"okay, I get it."
The ANBU member vanished in an instant, while Hiruzen Sarutobi held the two scrolls, carefully stroking them.
One scroll bears the Root mark, while the other depicts both the Senju and Uchiha clan crests.
"Danzo, haven't you given up on your unrealistic ideas yet?"
"How can organs regenerate?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi read the scroll titled 'Organ Regeneration Project'.
The plan was simple, but it sounded like a scam to get funding.
By studying the principles of lizard tail retraction and chakra stimulation, the technique of ninja limb regeneration can be deduced.
He put down the scroll, feeling very hesitant.
Danzo was seriously injured, and he knew this very well.
Tsunade and several doctors diagnosed that with normal healing methods, not only would her eyes not recover, but even her arms would not be able to.
The only remaining research direction points to Wood-element cells.
As the Third Hokage of Konoha, he could not, in principle, allow future generations to desecrate the cells of his ancestors.
On the other hand, it's fine as long as you don't know.
This plan makes no mention of Wood Release cells.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, in his self-deception, approved the paperwork with the word "passed".
"Ugh."
"If the organ regeneration project is successful, it will be of great help to disabled ninjas."
"Everything for the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced through the scroll a few times, his brow furrowing.
"Call Jiraiya over here!"
He gave an order to the secret service and then fell into deep thought again.
Soon, Jiraiya, the model worker who had just returned to the village, jumped into the Hokage's office through the window.
Jiraiya originally planned to guard the direction of the Land of Grass with Orochimaru, to guard against the invasion of Iwagakure.
Unexpectedly, after several clashes, Iwagakure temporarily retreated.
Lacking skilled fighters, Hiruzen Sarutobi, adhering to the principle of making the best use of everyone's talents, assigned new tasks, keeping Jiraiya busy once again.
He had originally intended to mobilize Orochimaru to handle some tasks near the defensive line.
I was simply rejected.
Jiraiya complained, "Old man, the mission just ended, why did you call me here? Is the village so short-handed?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed and tapped his pipe: "Since you know the village is short-handed, then stay and help me. Don't spend all your time wandering around izakayas!"
Jiraiya gave an embarrassed smile, scratched the back of his head, and retorted, "That was research. You wouldn't understand research."
Sensing his good disciple's reluctance, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and pressed for an answer:
"Jiraiya, stay in the village and take a position. You're a good fit as the leader of the Jonin team."
After a period of training and experience, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that Jiraiya had lost some of his "toad-like" aura.
His strength is just a tiny bit away from Kage-level.
There is indeed a lack of experts.
He can tolerate some minor issues.
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya quickly waved his hand, "Teacher, you know me. I'm used to being carefree, how can I be bound by an office seat?"
"With your talent and abilities, you would be able to make a greater contribution if you stayed in the village."
"Old man, I still need to find the chosen one! For me, carrying out missions outside is where I can play a more significant role."
Jiraiya continued to decline, for he had a clear understanding of the situation within the village.
Is there a problem with the police department's law enforcement?
no problem.
Everything was done within the rules.
He can't very well say that the police department's exercise of the powers granted by the Hokage is wrong, can he?
Tsunade intends to lead the Senju clan back to its peak, but Jiraiya, being a commoner, doesn't quite agree.
People naturally have different thoughts depending on where they sit.
As for asking him to stop the rise of the Senju?
Don't joke around!
He can't handle it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat disappointed.
Are you still thinking about the chosen one that the old toad spoke of?
Or is it an attempt to avoid the problem?
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and handed over a scroll: "Take a look at the principles behind this secret technique. Do you think it's feasible?"
Despite Jiraiya's talent being almost the lowest among the three-person team, he still managed to achieve great success.
It depends on who you're comparing him to. Jiraiya's talent for researching ninjutsu was also quite good.
The other two team members are outstanding researchers.
Tsunade.
He single-handedly built a medical system that changed the ninja world.
Orochimaru.
A master of ninja dreams, he researches and masters various secret techniques with ease.
Jiraiya looked puzzled. The old man had summoned him just to offer some unrealistic advice and to show him a secret technique.
He quickly flipped through it several times, his face filled with solemnity.
I was immediately surprised.
This is a secret technique to enhance a ninja's potential!
In his mind, there was no possibility of changing the potential of a ninja.
It was predetermined at birth.
Once your chakra level reaches its limit, there's no room for further improvement.
If you can't understand a ninjutsu technique, then you don't understand it.
The meridians grow within the body, and will only shrink with exercise, injury, and treatment, leading to a decline in talent.
Now, there's actually a very low-cost way to broaden a ninja's meridians and increase their chakra reserves?
That's incredible!
"That's highly feasible! What a brilliant idea!"
Jiraiya couldn't wait to consult the inventor.
I promptly turned to the last page.
A familiar name appeared before his eyes.
"Uchiha Yuuki? If it's him, it's not surprising."
Hiruzen Sarutobi retrieved the scroll.
"The only problem is that this secret technique has never been tested on living subjects."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's seemingly unintentional mention of the word "experiment" planted a not-so-good seed in Jiraiya's heart.
"Hmm..." Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "This technique is quite complete. It injects neutralizing toxins through a specific chakra circulation route to enhance the ninja's potential. As long as the effects of the stinging ant toxin are confirmed, there shouldn't be any problems."
He gave an affirmative answer.
Trouble.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he fed the stinging ants the fungal carpet.
This means that the monkey hair grass he spent a considerable amount of money to produce has no market.
Fungal mats are cheaper than monkey hair grass.
Once the secret technique of ant stinging is approved, it's easy to imagine that merchants will flock to buy the breeding rights for the fungal mats like dogs smelling a scent.
There is still room for the price of mushroom mats to decrease further.
But what other uses does monkey hair grass have?
What to do with the ninja clan members recruited through the monkey hair grass?
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
We shouldn't make a hasty decision.
Judging from the fact that the ants neutralize the toxins, Yuuki has been researching this secret technique for some time.
Selling the fungal mats is probably just the first step.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Now that you're back, don't miss the Jonin meeting later. Also, don't spread the information about this secret technique."
This provides a certain boost to all Konoha ninjas.
We mustn't leak this information!
"understand!"
...
Jonin meeting room.
Yuuki said to Kurama Kukatsu, "How's your recitation of the speech for imploreing the Hokage to personally lead the expedition coming along?"
"More or less, but..." Kurama Kukatsu hesitated, "Wouldn't that be too hurtful to the Hokage?"
"Directly attack the Hokage's weak point, blaming him for not fighting, which led to the defeat..."
Kurama was afraid that if he finished speaking, he wouldn't be able to leave the meeting room alive.
"You won't get hurt." Yuuki patted Kurama Kukatsu on the shoulder: "Hokage-sama, what kind of situation haven't you seen? You think you can be hurt by a few words?"
