Chapter 112 Hashirama Cells, Sharingan (Part 2)

For Giyuu in his previous life, although life was cruel, making decisions was simple.

Under normal circumstances, people are people, ghosts are ghosts, and the world is black and white for him.

Although ghosts are voluntarily accepted or forced to become by humans, they (most of them) cannot survive without eating humans and are destined to be enemies.

In this kind of survival competition, swordsmen do not need to know the cause and effect of a person becoming a ghost, the right and wrong, and just need to kill the evil ghosts who eat people so that humans will not be harmed.

Before meeting Nezuko, Giyuu made judgments so simply.

After meeting Nezuko, he just added a step of "determining whether there is an exception" before killing the ghost, but there is no difference in essence.

However, things are different now.

In this world, those who hurt humans unscrupulously are also humans.

And how to treat these people has made Giyuu really entangled and painful all the time.

After all, how many ninjas are not bloody?

He still remembered that a few years ago, Uchiha Itachi killed a pair of grandparents and grandchildren who were "suspected of inheriting some secret techniques" in Takigakure because of the order of the Root.

The grandson was only about the same age as Sasuke.

If Yiyong treated all ninjas who had such "evil deeds" as "ghosts", then he would first have to face his family and clansmen - among the Uchiha who were known for advocating power and extreme arrogance, would such "evil people" be rare?

Yiyong knew this, but he could not do anything to his hard-earned family.

He was also a person with selfishness and discrimination, and always deliberately wanted to avoid putting himself in such a difficult situation.

For the same reason, he could not attack other ninjas with "black history" for similar reasons, otherwise it would be a naked double standard.

So, what kind of people must be treated like ghosts?

Although Yiyong did not think about it clearly, he had a general standard in his mind.

People who tried to kill him, his family, and friends.

People who are wantonly hurting and killing others.

If not dealt with, it is very likely to cause the death of a large number of people.

For example, the ninjas who ambushed him in the inn of the Yugu Village and the crazy evil god cultists, Yiyong showed no mercy and killed them all.

But the rest of the Kirigakure Jounin who spread fog in the Yugu Village and had not had time to take action, he just knocked them out and handed them over to the Yuguku Ninja for custody.

Even so, in just a few days, dozens of lives have been lost in his hands.

Many of them are only a little older than when Tanjiro lost his family...

They did all kinds of "evil deeds" not because they are "evil people" like ghosts, but because they have been taught to take other people's lives ruthlessly since they were young.

These people have never had the opportunity to choose their own lives, and they have never even known that there are other ways to survive.

[Is there really no other way? ]

Yiyong thought so, but he was merciless under the knife, but the confusion and pain accumulated in his heart increased day by day as he killed more and more people.

Until he saw the piles of corpses in the stomachs of thousands of snakes, and saw Orochimaru's experimental base with his own eyes, and saw the eyes of his tribesmen, which were stored in the refrigerator deep underground like grapes that could be taken out and chewed at any time...

Giyuu's suppressed emotions along the way could no longer be hidden in the calm water.

Because the emotions he had towards Orochimaru were no longer pure indignation, but were mixed with strong personal grudges that he had never had against other enemies!

He didn't know who the specific owners of these Sharingans were.

But Giyuu knew that if Shisui hadn't arrived in time, Itachi's eyeballs would probably have become one of these trophies!

Suddenly, Itachi's face in his memory gradually overlapped with his sister who was killed in his previous life, revealing a scar deep in Giyuu's memory.

His sister blocked the window and the ghost with her body, and her bloody hand slid down his cheek...

[Giyuu, you must live...]

The possibility of losing his loved ones again made Giyuu extremely angry.

"Orochimaru, how can I find him?"

A huge killing intent rushed into Giyu's brain, almost overwhelmed his self-control, and the color of the Sharingan quickly changed from gentle purple-red to violent blood red.

Although his tone was still as cold, the strength of pinching Yakushi Kabuto's neck was getting heavier and heavier, just like his breathing.

What he didn't notice was that he was not using the Breath of Water, but the rhythm of the Breath of the Moon, as if the Sharingan could only play its due role "perfectly" in this way.

Yakushi Kabuto sensed Giyu's almost substantial killing intent, and lost his judgment due to the instantaneous lack of oxygen.

His face was purple and his eyes rolled back. At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto, who had a smart brain, forgot to make hand seals, forgot the kunai hidden on his body, and forgot to answer and beg for mercy. The instinct for survival forced him to desperately scratch and grab Giyu's arm, hoping to get a little respite.

However, the more his arm with bulging blood vessels struggled, the stronger the force of Giyu's response was, and the killing intent in his eyes became more and more intense.

Soon, Yakushi Kabuto's arm gradually became weak, and it rested on Yiyong's arm like a dead vine.

The glasses on his nose slipped off and fell to the ground because of the sticky sweat, and several cracks appeared on the thick lenses.

Following the crisp sound, scenes of flashback memory fragments emerged in the mind of the pharmacist who was left with only one breath——

In the Earth Country Laboratory, he and Orochimaru agreed to create a Sound Ninja Village...

Deceived by Genbe's orders, he killed Nonoyu, the orphanage director who adopted him, and frantically asked him why he didn't recognize him...

In front of the puzzled and confused eyes of all his companions, he walked towards Danzo Shimura and asked to become a ninja, hoping to alleviate the plight of the orphanage...

Together with his companions from the orphanage, while treating injured ninjas on the front line, his conversation with Orochimaru...

Because he couldn't see the clock in the orphanage clearly, pharmacist Nonoyu put his round eyes on the bridge of his nose...

"From today on, your name is Kabuto..."

【Is my life over here? 】

As his breathing weakened, scattered thoughts echoed in his mind, like sad speeches at a funeral.

[He also said that he wanted to collect information and find out who I am, but now...but there is no such chance again...]

The memory fragments gradually became dim as life declined, and Yakushi Kabuto's eyes slowly closed.

[After I die, will anyone really remember me as a person? 】

[It turns out, this is what death feels like...]

At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto seemed to have crossed a dusty threshold.

The dark memories in my mind became bright again. What he saw in front of him was both fresh and unfamiliar, but he had no impression at all.

A blurry face suddenly appeared. The facial features could not be seen clearly, but it could be vaguely seen that it was a woman.

Kabuto Yakushi was hugged tightly to his chest by this woman, but his nose was filled with the smell of burnt wood and earth.

His vision was constantly turbulent, and his ears were filled with the woman's violent and panicked breathing.

【who is she? Why do I see her? Why is she running? Are you on the run? 】

The next second, the woman fell to the ground.

Yakushi Kabuto flew out and happened to fall in the middle of a bush. Severe pain was felt all over his body, but it was just covered by the dense branches and leaves.

He didn't make a sound, but covered his mouth tightly because the woman was making a vague "shh" motion towards him.

Soon, the people chasing behind appeared. Kabuto Yakushi felt that his heartbeat was about to stop, and a frightening buzzing sounded in his ears.

However, the man who was chasing him did not stop. When he passed by the woman, he inserted a knife into her vest, dyeing the blade in his hand red, and then left quickly, as if he had just trampled an ant to death while running, without even saying a superfluous word. explain.

The young Yakushi Kabuto was completely frightened by what he saw, and still did not dare to say anything. The woman also lay motionless on the ground.

It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that the seemingly dead woman suddenly raised her head as if she were looking back, facing the direction he was hiding, and said a few words with difficulty: "Run quickly, don't look back..."

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Mom!"

It turned out that this was his memory before he was picked up by pharmacist Nonoyu.

"Mother……"

In the real world, the dying Yakushi Kabuto whispered these two words with tears in his eyes.

But just these two words, like a hammer striking a bell, blasted into Yiyong's brain easily.

[Yiyong, don’t become a cold-hearted person just to deal with a cold world. Can you promise mom? 】

Uchiha Mikoto's voice suddenly sounded, causing the scarlet in his eyes to fade quickly.

Giyuu let go of the hand that was about to kill Yakushi Kabuto and silently took two steps back, recalling everything that had just happened in disbelief.

[What's going on? Have I lost my self-control? 】

This is an unprecedented situation.

What he was asking just now was nothing more than venting his anger. He didn't even have a chance to speak to Kabuto Shishi.

"Hey, why did you let go? Did you think the teacher would break his neck?"

The ghost lamp Shuiyue behind the tree man poked his head out and said with a little disappointment in his tone, "The teacher just now was more handsome than usual, but it's a pity that he only lasted a few seconds."

In the aesthetics of Gui Deng Shui Yue, being handsome probably means being scary.

"Shut up."

Jiuwei stretched out his paw, slapped Gui Deng Shuiyue twice on the nose, and snorted meaningfully: "You don't understand anything."

[If this brat becomes like an ordinary Uchiha, I will be in trouble in the future. ]

Although this idea sounds strange.

But Giyuu’s kindness towards people and his softness of heart that is different from his clansmen have always been what Kyuubi “appreciates” about him the most——

At least that means that this ridiculously strong brat will not become a nasty guy like Uchiha Madara in the future, and he will not use tailed beasts as a tool to be used wantonly, because he cares about other people's feelings - even if they are bigger than others. He still cares about ant-like humans who are a thousand times weaker than him.

On the other side, the pharmacist Kabuto, who was barely alive, held his throat and retched for a while. His white hair was tightly stuck to his forehead due to sweat. His whole body seemed to have been caught in a heavy rain, and he looked embarrassed and crazy.

He raised his head, and the look in his eyes through the gaps in his hair was not one of joy at narrowly surviving, but one of deep unwillingness and anger.

"Why……"

His voice was as hoarse as tearing.

Obviously speaking out would make him miserable, but Kabuto Yakushi kept asking: "Why stop? Why don't you kill me?"

As he asked, tears could not stop flowing out, and the previous questioning gradually turned into a hoarse roar: "I almost knew it! I almost knew it! Why? Why didn't you continue?! It was so close!"

At this point, Kabuto Yakushi crawled to Giyuu in a kneeling position, grabbed the latter's right hand, and pressed it hard on his blue throat, with indescribable madness and persistence in his eyes.

"Please! Keep going! Keep going! I want to see more, I want to know more! Who am I? Who am I? I will know soon..."

Giyuu looked at him indifferently, his dark eyes swallowed up all the light around him, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Hozuki Kizuki rubbed his nose and said in confusion: "What's wrong with that guy, is he crazy? Or did Orochimaru do something to his brain..."

The development of the matter made him confused.

Then, he saw Giyuu's hand actively close to Kabuto Yakushi's skin, and a smile like watching a play appeared on his face again.

But Yiyong didn't pinch it in the end, and his hand emitted a green light. He was repairing the damaged vocal cords of Yakushidou.

The hope that had just ignited in Yakushidou's eyes was extinguished the moment he saw the green light representing life.

He seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He knelt in the same place, his eyes were straight, and he was as dull as the Jizo statue on the roadside. He just muttered: "Why... why..."

As the progress of the treatment increased, his voice also changed from hoarse to clear and audible.

"I don't know what you just saw."

Yiyong said, "But I know that most mothers in the world hope that their children will live well."

He stretched out his right hand, and a stream of water whipped out, rolling back the glasses under the refrigerator and resting them on Yakushidou's nose.

Yiyong's words were not finished yet. When Kabuto Yakushi could barely see clearly, Yiyong turned sideways again and pointed at the water jars containing "tree people", among which there were short boys and girls, who were no longer breathing.

"Their mothers should have the same wish for them."

Kabuto Yakushi stopped asking neurotic questions.

He stared at the experimental subjects in the room in a daze, and for the first time he had a different feeling about these "materials". It was as if he was just one of them.

"If you are willing to answer my questions and save me some time..."

Yiyong walked to Kabuto Yakushi's side and gently pressed his shoulder, "There will be more mothers in this world who can realize this wish."

"The Hidden Mist Village."

Kabuto Yakushi tried hard to recall the face he saw in the revolving lantern just now, and subconsciously said the answer that Yiyong wanted.

"He plans to create some misunderstandings, incite the Taketori clan to attack the Hidden Mist Village, and then take the opportunity to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage..."

"He is also going to kill Gotachibana Shikura?"

Hozuki Suzuki exclaimed, "Isn't that the same as our goal?!"

Giyuu frowned when he heard this, wondering what exactly Orochimaru meant by doing this.

"Killing the Fourth Mizukage and extracting the tailed beast from him is Orochimaru's pledge to join an organization. In addition, it is also to collect the bodies of the Fourth Mizukage..."

"Tailed beast?" This time it was Kyuubi's turn to be surprised, "He is planning to kill that turtle?"

"What is a tailed beast?" Hozuki Suzuki asked, but unfortunately no one answered him.

Because both Kyuubi and Giyuu were thinking solemnly at this moment.

"When did he leave?" Giyuu asked.

"Three days ago. This plan is not complicated, and he might have succeeded."

Yakushi Kabuto took off his glasses and gently stroked the cracks on them.

He didn't have much psychological pressure to betray Orochimaru, because Orochimaru had allowed him to do so, and he didn't say anything.

"In that case..."

Giyuu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the Nine-Tails.

"Kuroma, get ready, we have to rush over as soon as possible."

Although the Nine-Tails has always looked down on the Three-Tails, a lazy fellow who spends all his time sleeping, as a tailed beast, he doesn't want to watch the big turtle being caught by humans, so he nodded hurriedly.

"We can leave at any time."

"Eh hey hey?"

Hozuki Suigetsu looked bitter, "We just got here and we have to leave? Teacher, rest is also important. Besides, Ranmaru will not wake up for several hours, who will show us the way?"

"No, there are only me and Kurama going to the Hidden Mist Village this time."

Giyuu made up his mind and used the Flame Breathing Type 1 along the way, and rushed over at a straight line at all costs.

In the Nine-Tails Rebellion nearly ten years ago, Konoha was killed and injured thousands of people, most of whom were ordinary people who had no ability to protect themselves.

Now that the matter involves a tailed beast, and the manipulator behind it is Orochimaru who will never take human life seriously, it is really hard to say what will happen. Every second of delay, Giyuu will feel a sense of guilt accumulating on himself.

"What about us?" Hozuki Suigetsu was a little terrified, "Are Ranmaru and I going to stay here?"

Giyuu nodded: "I have a task for you, and I need you to stay here. If you can do it, I will teach you swordsmanship when you come back."

The depression on Hozuki Suigetsu's face was swept away, and his eyes almost glowed: "Teacher, you say!"

"During the time I'm away, you need to cooperate with him and take good care of the people imprisoned here."

Giyuu pointed to the silent Kabuto Yakushi, which caught the latter's attention.

"Those children with blood stain limits cannot control their abilities. Don't let them out for the time being, but I need you to explain the truth of the matter to them and tell them that someone will take them away soon."

"with him?"

Glancing at Yakushi Kabuto, who was also surprised, Gui Deng Shuiyue looked a little embarrassed, after all, he had only been deceived once.

"Who knows what other plots he has up his sleeve."

"He is a medical ninja. Many of the people imprisoned are injured. Since I have to leave, these people can only be treated by him."

"How are you sure that I won't do anything to him while you are away?" Yakushi Kabuto asked tentatively.

"I'm not sure, so..."

Yiyong stared at him, then suddenly knelt down on one knee, stamped his palm on the ground, and summoned a slug the size of a van, "I will find helpers to monitor you."

The moment the latter's fat body appeared, Kabuto Yakushi guessed the identity of the living creature, and a look of disbelief flashed between his eyebrows.

"I really made the right decision. I didn't expect you to call me out so soon."

The gentle and lively voice of the live beetle sounded, which did not match its bulky body.

Its tentacles trembled in the air, and suddenly turned to the row of water jars containing "Treants", "Huh? I feel Lord Hashirama's breath?"

Yakushi Kabuto's suspicions were confirmed, but his doubts were even greater.

[Why did Tsunade-hime’s psychic beast sign a contract with an Uchiha tribesman? 】

"We'll talk about this later. I need your help."

After Yiyong briefly explained the situation here, the living creature immediately understood and popped out a clone the size of an arm, which stuck to the back of the pharmacist's pocket.

"If he wants to do something bad, I will drain his chakra immediately. If necessary, I will dissolve him directly with acid! During this period, leave this little humanoid slug to my protection!"

The live snake said the most terrifying things in the cutest tone.

"Who are you calling a little slug?" Gui Deng Shui Yue retorted loudly: "You and I are not the same thing!"

"Okay, that's it."

Giyuu turned around and went to the refrigerator filled with Sharingan. He took out boxes of relics belonging to the clan and put them into scrolls, intending to take them back to the clan and put them in the Minami River Shrine.

After taking out all the Sharingan, he noticed an extra layer at the bottom of the refrigerator, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared on his forehead.

[Is it more Sharingan? 】

The thought flashed across my mind.

Yiyong opened the drawer and discovered that there were rows of test tubes inside, which contained something like skin scraps.

"What is this?" Yiyong pulled out a test tube and looked at Yaoshi Kabuto.

"It's the cells of the first Hokage." Kabuto Yakushi explained briefly, "This is an important material for the wood escape experiment."

[After so many years, do cells still have activity? What an amazing vitality. 】

Giyuu pinched the test tube and suddenly remembered the gardener who could stimulate the growth of plants that he saw in Senju's former residence before leaving Konoha - according to Anjuro, that gardener was a member of the First Hokage's clan.

etc.

Yiyong was stunned.

[Strong vitality means a strong body; Wood Escape... Butterflies were unable to inherit the flower breath of the style due to insufficient conditions? 】

[If the first Hokage's cells were used to resurrect the butterfly, would she be happy? 】

[It can make up for all the shortcomings of her original body, this should be a good choice. 】

Considering that there was still one type of Moon Breath that he had not completely mastered, Yiyong did not make an immediate decision, but put the box of test tubes into the scroll.

However, unexpectedly, the volume of the scroll has reached the upper limit.

Giyuu didn't hesitate and took out a few summer homework books to make room for Hashirama's cells.

Finally, he summoned Ghost Light and Water Moon and handed the wooden box that had been hanging on his waist to the latter.

"Suigetsu, if it's Orochimaru who comes back, use the acid from the live snake to destroy him."

Yiyong's tone was extremely solemn, and Gui Deng Shuiyue lost his usual playful smile. He nodded honestly and took the box containing the head.

Then, he said with some worry: "But teacher, that Orochimaru shouldn't be your opponent, right?"

"I have to prepare for the worst. But you don't have to worry."

Considering Kito Suigetsu's timid characteristics, Giyu added: "At the latest two days, someone stronger than me will arrive here. Even if Orochimaru comes back, he will only die. If I don't come back, you guys Just listen to that guy. He has flaming hair and is easy to spot."

After saying that, he waved to Kyuubi: "Let's go."

Hearing this, Kyuubi jumped up and climbed onto Giyuu's head. One person left without looking back.

Gui Deng Shuiyue stood at this end of the corridor, watching Yiyong's figure gradually disappear, and suddenly there was a sense of loss on his face.

"I'm not worried about myself...Teacher, you must be careful."

At this time, Orochimaru, who was hundreds of kilometers away, didn't know.

The biggest nightmare of his life was coming at full speed.
