Chapter 232
The limits of talent and power are different after all.
Hinata had never realized this before, until the eyes of reincarnation were opened and the mixed power in Hinata's body was assimilated, Hinata discovered the true potential of talent.
"So, I am really a hard-working ninja!"
Hinata unceremoniously labeled herself as "hard-working". I am different from Naruto and Sasuke, who are the cheating party. I am obviously the type of Xiao Li, who can defeat genius with hard work.
While absorbing Kimimaro's chakra to maintain the survival of Kimimaro's blood, Hinata was thinking wildly.
If there is no support from Kimimaro's chakra, and only the power of Yin and Yang escape is used to fuse Kimimaro's cells, then Hinata can only get a little bit of the power of the corpse vein in the end.
Of course, after the power is assimilated, Hinata can also strengthen the power of the corpse vein through practice and development.
But this process is extremely long, which is roughly equivalent to Kimimaro's practice process from childhood to adulthood.
However, by absorbing Kimimaro's chakra and strengthening the power of Kimimaro's cells, this process can be greatly shortened, and Hinata can even directly have the power of Kimimaro in his heyday.
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with excitement, and his tone was excited: "Is this Yamato's secret?"
Yamato's Wood Release is far inferior to that of Hashirama Senju, and even inferior to that half-baked Reincarnation of Hashirama Senju during the Konoha Collapse Plan.
Orochimaru had guessed before, but after seeing Hinata's fusion of the Corpse Vein, Orochimaru has completely understood the secret of Yamato's power.
Yamato is indeed lucky. As an experimental subject who has fused Hashirama's cells and is not dead, he has the ability of Wood Release.
But Yamato's Wood Release can only be used by relying on the tiny amount of Hashirama's cells in his body, not Yamato's own ability.
As Yamato's external power, Yamato can actually strengthen the power of Wood Release through practice, but his talent is not enough to support him to do this.
Without the immortal body and the immense vitality, Wood Release is nothing but a mere decoration.
Kimimaro's cells are constantly absorbed, assimilated, and strengthened in Hinata's body... In this process, Hinata already possesses the power of the Corpse Vein.
"Fortunately, the Impure World Reincarnation Body has infinite chakra, which saves a lot of trouble..."
"But this power has its limits after all!"
Hinata was still a little dissatisfied.
If it can only reach the level of Kimimaro, then this power is not important at all.
Corpse Vein and Gentle Fist are both physical techniques. If they cannot be developed to the level of 'Killing Ash Bones Together', Corpse Vein is not practical at all.
As if seeing through Hinata's thoughts, Black Zetsu said indifferently: "If you want to develop Corpse Vein to the level of Bloodline Net, you can't rely on Kimimaro's power alone."
Hinata nodded in approval and stopped absorbing Kimimaro's chakra.
The cells on the arm lost the support of power and were gradually assimilated into the same color by Hinata's skin.
The chakra in the body moved slightly, and a white bone pierced out from Hinata's palm. Hinata sensed it for a moment, and then retracted the bone into her body.
"This degree is barely acceptable..."
Turning her head to look at Orochimaru, Hinata continued: "The next step is Wood Release!"
Orochimaru's eyes were full of unconcealed excitement, and the smile on his face gradually became ferocious.
Everything he experienced today was very magical to Orochimaru.
Hinata's pupil technique, Hinata's interpretation of "natural energy", the whole process of Hinata's fusion of the Corpse Vein, and the bloodline network in Heize's mouth...all of this opened a new door for Orochimaru.
The whole world seemed to be clear.
Although Orochimaru did not want to admit that "perfection" really existed, Hinata's body was perfect for Orochimaru.
The huge chakra, huge vitality, powerful pupil technique, and the Corpse Vein that he just had, and the Wood Release that he was about to have.
If all of this can be perfectly integrated, then Hinata's body is undoubtedly close to perfection.
How did this happen?
Even though Orochimaru knew clearly in his heart that as long as he got Sasuke's body, snatched Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and then merged the first generation cells, he would have a chance to become the next Six Paths Sage.
However, Nagato's example told Orochimaru that even if he opened the Samsara Eye, it would be wishful thinking to become the next Six Paths Sage.
There is still a lot to go.
"Too perfect!"
Orochimaru unconsciously licked his lips with his tongue.
Chapter 351 What did Hamura do?
There has never been fairness in the ninja world. Orochimaru has been pursuing something for half his life, but Hinata can easily have it all.
Naruto and Sasuke in the future, they will also have it all.
When they can't get what they want, some people will use their "heart" to disguise these things.
Just like the conversation between Tsunade and Uchiha Madara in the original work.
Uchiha Madara said that after Senju Hashirama died, his power was inherited by himself, but Tsunade said that she inherited Senju Hashirama's will.
At first glance, it seems that what Tsunade said makes sense. She inherited the legacy of her ancestors and carried it forward.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems like a lie that she is lying to herself when she has no other choice. It doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all.
If it is possible, Tsunade would also like to inherit the Wood Release of Hashirama Senju.
In this world, only by having power can you do everything and reject all sadness. Without power, you can do nothing.
The sadness of the ninjas is precisely because of their own lack of strength.
Tsunade, Kakashi... They all failed to protect their companions because of their own lack of strength.
Orochimaru has already seen through all this and can accept it all, but he will not succumb to it.
This may be the biggest difference between reality and dreams!
Dreams are always beautiful, but reality is full of cruelty.
Infinite Tsukuyomi may be a cruel dream, but is reality not a cruel world beautified with dreams?
Speaking of which, Hinata still admires people like Orochimaru who can recognize reality.
Of course, everyone pursues different things, and Hinata cannot use her own ideas to evaluate others.
'Da da da……'
In the empty stone room, footsteps sounded softly.
Orochimaru walked to an abandoned experimental body and took out a scroll from his ninja bag. After opening the scroll, Orochimaru quickly formed seals with his hands.
"open!"
In a burst of smoke, a glass bottle filled with milky white liquid appeared on the scroll.
"Is this Hashirama Cell?"
Hinata walked to the experimental table, picked up the bottle and looked at it for a few times, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Is it diluted?"
Orochimaru chuckled and explained: "These are the most primitive cells, different from those cloned ones."
Hinata heard this and turned to look at Zetsu.
Speaking of Hashirama Cells, Zetsu must have them in his hands. The material of White Zetsu itself is similar to Hashirama Cells.
Hei Zetsu had no intention of hiding it. After checking the liquid in the glass bottle, he said lightly: "The power of Mu Dun comes from the sacred tree, not the power of the Otsutsuki clan. Compared with Hashirama Cells, the current White Zetsu is still inferior. A little bit.”
Hinata nodded slightly.
In Hinata's previous speculation, White Zetsu was a war weapon that had not yet been successfully cultivated.
The fruits of the sacred tree in the ninja world take thousands of years to mature, so theoretically it would take a thousand years for Bai Zetsu to be cultivated.
If a sacred tree can only produce one chakra fruit, then if the White Zetsu army trained by Otsutsuki Kaguya using the sacred tree are added together, they may also have the power of a chakra fruit.
However, the plan to cultivate Bai Zetsu was eventually destroyed by the Six Paths Sage.
So this is all just speculation.
White Zetsu's power may be insufficient, but Senju Hashirama's cells have inherited power through genetics, and are qualitatively superior to White Zetsu's power.
"Sacred tree?"
Orochimaru silently took note of Black Zetsu's words.
The information revealed by Hinata and Black Zetsu's casual conversation is extremely important intelligence to Orochimaru.
Hinata also made silent calculations in her mind.
The power of Wood Release comes from the sacred tree. As long as Hinata fuses Hashirama cells, the power of the Ten Tails in Hinata's body can be perfected.
The power of the Ten-Tails obtained through the reincarnation eye is actually only enough for Hinata to open the reincarnation eye. This power does not include the ability of wood escape.
However, the talent level has opened up this limit, allowing Hinata to perfect her bloodline power through fusion, absorption, and assimilation.
"Let's try it first!"
Hinata took a deep breath and silently encouraged herself in her heart.
With Hinata's current strength, even if something unexpected happens during the fusion process, Hinata can instantly expel Hashirama's cells from the body.
Taking out a new syringe, Hinata drew the liquid from the glass bottle into the syringe, and then injected it into her arm.
On the fair arm, a piece of pale skin looked extremely dazzling. The vitality contained in Hashirama's cells was much stronger than the power of the corpse's bone veins.
Orochimaru kept his eyes on Hinata's arm.
"Do I need to channel the first generation?"
Black Zetsu said calmly: "Senju Hashirama's power is different from Kimimaro's. These are enough."
Moreover, what Hinata needs is not the power of Wood Release, but to perfect his own bloodline.
As long as Hinata can make up for the lack of strength in her body, then Hinata may become an independent Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki.
Of course, Hinata, the 'Ten-Tails' within the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, still needs to be cultivated.
Black Zetsu looked at Hinata and reminded: "The power is repelling, use the power of Yin and Yang to fuse."
"If that still doesn't work, expel the Hashirama cells from the body... I heard that girls are more concerned about their appearance. I guess you don't want other colors to appear on your body."
Hinata certainly didn't want a pale mark to appear on her skin, even a tiny bit of it was unacceptable to Hinata.
If the face of Senju Hashirama appeared on the body like Uchiha Madara and Shimura Danzo, then Hinata would rather die.
"..."
Yin-Yang Dun is said to have the power to create and destroy the world. It is not difficult to fuse Hashirama's cells with the power of Yin-Yang Dun.
And the power of the reincarnated eye is enough to suppress Hashirama cells.
However, what Hinata really cares about is whether he can perfectly integrate this power.
If it would affect her appearance, then Hinata would have no choice but to give up Wood Release.
"What a magical ability..."
Orochimaru's pupils were slightly dilated, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue in excitement.
The power of blood in Hinata's body finally lived up to Hinata's expectations. When Hinata used the power of Yin-Yang Escape to fuse Hashirama's cells, the power of blood immediately began to assimilate this power.
At this moment, even Hei Jue felt that something was wrong.
Hinata is the descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura, but Otsutsuki Hamura did not inherit Wood Release.
The reason why Hamura and Hagoromo could not inherit all of Kaguya's power was because Kaguya's power was too strong, so they could only inherit part of it.
The same is true for Ashura and Indra.
The Hyuga clan is the descendant of Hamura. Logically, Hinata can only suppress the power of Hashirama's cells with her pupil power.
And even Otsutsuki Hamura could not achieve this perfect fusion of Hinata.
"What did Hamura do?"
With Black Zetsu's knowledge, he could not understand this situation at all.
"Could it be that Hyuga Hinata has the blood of Hamura and Hagoromo in her body at the same time... Then wouldn't she be..."
