"What a pity, I can't use it for research." Tobirama said with regret.
Having such good research material in front of him, yet being unable to use it, was an extremely painful thing for a researcher.
Kazuki's Shadow Clone patted Tobirama's shoulder and said, "At least there's still Isshiki's corpse. That's enough for your research. Although his Chakra has been extracted by me, the Ōtsutsuki genes remain unchanged. If you can thoroughly research Isshiki's genes, it will be a huge boost to your strength."
Tobirama said eagerly, "It's a bit of a shame. Whether it's the Senju, Uchiha, or Uzumaki, they all have intricate connections with the Ōtsutsuki clan. Otherwise, I could research a virus specifically targeting the Ōtsutsuki clan. Then, if released into the universe, it could target the entire Ōtsutsuki clan."
Never underestimate Tobirama's intelligence. He is undoubtedly an all-around talent. As long as he is given the opportunity, he may very well be able to research methods to deal with the Ōtsutsuki clan. As for whether anyone will suffer because of this, that is not something Tobirama needs to consider.
Tobirama didn't care if the Uchiha lived or died. He had previously not minded wiping out the entire Uchiha clan. But now that he knows the Uchiha and the Senju are related, it's different. Moreover, the Uchiha clan might be needed to fight the Ōtsutsuki in the future.
"You don't actually think that a being comparable to a god could be poisoned to death by a virus, do you?" Kazuki looked at Tobirama with a subtle expression.
Could this guy have watched Dragon Ball?
Goku, who was considered the strongest mortal in the universe, was affected by a virus and eventually died.
Of course, Toriyama later added a setting. The alien, fearing that Earth would be destroyed by the Saiyans, specifically released a virus targeting Saiyans on Earth.
Tobirama fell silent. In fact, he still really wanted to try it, to try on Kazuki to see if there was a way to deal with him.
But if Kazuki were really killed, it would be a huge loss for the Ninja World. Currently, the Ninja World still needs Kazuki to protect it.
What kind of nonsense is it to kill Kazuki?
Tobirama sighed softly. If it had been the previous battle with the Uchiha clan, he, Tobirama, would have been the absolute main force.
But with the changing times, let alone him, Tobirama, even Hashirama, the former strongest in the Ninja World, the God of Shinobi, could no longer keep up with the times. The opponents were too strong.
He still needed to research more forbidden jutsu targeting the Ōtsutsuki.
"All right, we've also obtained the means to help Nawaki and Tsunade awaken the Sharingan. Gather the things here, and we can almost leave." Kazuki then continued.
…
"Is this the Chakra pill? Can you give me some to research?" Orochimaru asked eagerly, looking at the Chakra pill Kazuki took out.
It wasn't greed, he primarily wanted to research the essence of the pill.
How could he not care about a pill that could enable Kushina to activate the Sharingan?
"Yes, but I can only give you the smaller pills, the ones with less energy inside." Kazuki thought for a moment and then took out two pills and handed them to Orochimaru.
"Hehe, as long as I can research it, that's enough." Orochimaru took the pills and carefully stored them away.
"And, these pills are non-renewable, right?"
"Not entirely non-renewable. We could revive Kaguya's Ten-Tails, but if we do that, it could pose a huge threat to the entire Ninja World." Kazuki waved his hand.
"Regardless, the Ninja World is the place that gave birth to us and raised us. Anyone who destroys the Ninja World is our enemy. Otherwise, what difference is there between us and the Ōtsutsuki?"
"Indeed, I agree with that point." Hashirama immediately assented to Kazuki's words.
He, a dead man, still had to fight for the Ninja World now. Was it not to fight against the Ōtsutsuki and protect the Ninja World?
"I understand the limits." Orochimaru nodded in deep agreement.
He still had love for Konoha, and for the Ninja World as well. Even if this Ninja World didn't seem very good or beautiful, it was still his home, where he lived, and where his friends and loved ones were.
Moreover, when the nest is overturned, no eggs remain intact.
Once the Ninja World is gone, what will he do?
He would also be annihilated by the Ōtsutsuki.
"Can I awaken the Sharingan, or even Wood Release, by eating this?" Nawaki asked expectantly, holding the Chakra pill Kazuki had given them earlier.
Like Kushina, Nawaki had actually been injected with nutrient solution several times, and his strength was now quite good. Coupled with Samehada and his Water Release, inherited from Tobirama, he could be said to be the most suitable person to become Mizukage in the current Ninja World. However, Nawaki still wanted to awaken the Sharingan and Wood Release.
"Hmm, you can all use it first."
Kazuki then turned his gaze to Tsunade. "Tsunade-sensei, if you're not confident in mastering Wood Release after fusing the First Hokage's cells, why not follow the old path of Nawaki and Kushina?"
"Sigh..." Tsunade let out a long, helpless sigh.
She had previously given up on taking a shortcut, wanting to gamble, which would allow her to better master Wood Release in the future. But now that a better and more stable path appeared before her, she found it very hard to refuse.
"I'll still inject the nutrient solution first."
Tsunade didn't directly swallow the Chakra pill. Consuming it directly now would be a bit too wasteful. If this continued, she might not even be able to compare to Nawaki.
"However, you should almost become Hokage now." At this moment, Tobirama turned his gaze to Kazuki.
To deal with external threats, one must first stabilize internal affairs. The Ōtsutsuki are almost at their doorstep, and the Ninja World needs to change.
They couldn't possibly expect Konoha to bear the entire burden, could they?
"Hmm." Kazuki nodded slightly.
Then, he turned his gaze to Sasuke beside him. "When are you going back?"
"My strength has not only recovered but also improved. I plan to leave tomorrow, the Ninja World still needs me."
Sasuke looked reluctantly at Kazuki and Mikoto beside him, primarily Mikoto.
