Shikamaru was wearing a white coat. While looking at the data from the instruments in front of him, he kept writing and drawing in his notebook, occasionally observing the work process in the laboratory.
Beside him, there are several companions who look exactly like him and are even dressed the same. They are engaged in busy work, either using microscopes to observe or recording data. The ninjutsu of shadow clone can not only be used for fighting, but also for work.
Speaking is also a very practical skill. Only by relying on this ninjutsu can Shikamaru be able to preside over a research work alone without the need for an assistant. Even because they understand each other, the efficiency is higher.
From managing and coordinating to serving tea and water, one person can do everything competently. For Shikamaru, who has always been somewhat domineering about experimental work, this is really good news.
"Sample No. 7 is dead!" A cry suddenly rang out. Shikamaru, who was taking notes on his notebook, paused and quickly walked to a corner of the laboratory. There was a metal table there, except for a few large ones.
In addition to the instruments, the most eye-catching thing is the neatly arranged glass containers, which contain unknown liquids. They are placed on small shelves, and the shelves are labeled respectively.
Shikamaru, White Snake, Koso, Tenzo, Hashirama, Jugo, Suigetsu, Kimimaro, Neji...
"The cells are dead again, and there is no use in providing chakra." The shadow clone that shouted before was now playing with the microscope. Seeing Shikamaru coming over with a notebook, he said: "Kiden Suigetsu and Kimimaro
Their genes are too repulsive to the others, and it is a waste of experimental time, so I suggest they be eliminated."
"Ugh." Shikamaru frowned and thought deeply after hearing this. The shadow clone's thinking pattern came from his true body, and what the other party said at this time was also what he was thinking.
Orochimaru has already made many explorations into human experiments, and even achieved the perfect integration of the White Phosphorus Orochi and the human body. He has also been using this power on himself, and has also combined the genes of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama with the human body.
experience, and successfully used the Chongwu Curse Seal to transform the human body.
These experimental data were obtained by Shikamaru, which allowed him to avoid a lot of detours and save a lot of time. Now that he has Tenzo as a sample, he can conduct observations at any time, so that Hashirama's genes are no longer so repulsive.
As long as he spends more time, with his ability, he can clone a "self" that combines the power of the White Snake and the ability of Wood Release in a short period of time, but he hopes to make this body more perfect.
Coupled with the abilities of Koru, Neji, Kimimaro and Suigetsu, it seems that sufficient time is needed to succeed, and Shikamaru is currently lacking time.
The genes of the Uzumaki clan and Hashirama's genes are not so exclusive and can be retained, but the abilities of Kimimaro, Riku Neji and Kito Suigetsu are only dispensable. If you want to save time, abandoning them is a helpless move.
.
"Take Kimimaro, Riku Neji and Onito Suigetsu off the list." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "First make sure to cultivate the first embryo with wood escape ability."
…………
Not to mention the busy research work in the laboratory, Shikamaru has more than these tasks in a day. Since there is no risk of being overwhelmed, he doesn't mind doing other tasks while conducting experiments.
The sun shines through the branches and leaves of the dense forest and shines on the ground, forming patches of light. Shikamaru carefully avoids these and carefully looks at the list in his hand. Not far behind him, there is Neji standing with his hands hanging down.
"Do you have any suggestions?" After a long time, Shikamaru finally looked up from the long list and asked Neji. Except for Jugo and Koso in the Sound Ninja Village, Shikamaru had never trusted anyone else.
, compared to the Konoha ninjas who have no roots here and have known him for a long time, these sound ninjas enslaved by Orochimaru are cunning and cruel. Shikamaru has only temporarily suppressed them until now, instead of sending them any weapons.
For some tasks, several of the people in charge were killed by Shikamaru, and then everyone in Konoha was left to manage it.
It doesn't matter if a few Xiaoqiang are unfamiliar with their skills. Shikamaru's strength is enough to ensure that any problem can be rectified. As long as it can train the talents of a few people, it will be worthwhile.
"Tateyama Castle should be a good place." After hearing Shikamaru's words, Ningci thought for a moment and replied: "The castle owner Uesugi Seiji has mediocre talents and can barely be regarded as a Buddhist believer. Although he is only a shallow believer, he is
This also shows that he is not an atheist, and the social contradictions there have not yet reached a peak, and people have not become numb and lost the ability to think in order to survive. Taking this as a starting point should be a good start."
"There are not many ninjas in the city. With a little effort, we can clean them up." Ri continued to Neji, but at this time, a burst of singing suddenly floated out from the house not far from the two of them:
We are children of nature, and God the Father is in our hearts.
Sow the seeds of joy and enjoy the grace given by nature.
Open your hands and embrace the new day.
New morning, new night, new beginning.
A new world, a new hope, a new grace.
We are children of the world, and morality is in our hearts.
Sow the seeds of faith, let us break through the darkness and survive the trials...
Some of the young people taken in from various parts of the land are still in the stage of changing their voices, and their immature singing voices may have hoarse noises, but there is no doubt that these people's voices have a pious emotion in their voices, and the voices of dozens of people are uniform.
Uniformity seems to breed the confidence to move forward. Although it is not loud, it still shocks the hearts of those who listen.
"..." This is not the first time Rixiang Neci has heard these teenagers singing in unison, but every time the singing sounds, he listens carefully.
The lyrics are simple and catchy, the melody is beautiful, and the twists are not big. It is easy to learn, and Shikamaru and Kaoru really put a lot of thought into it.
Shikamaru smiled slightly. Along with the singing, he could detect a far stronger energy than usual coming from the hearts of many believers in the room. This was faith, or the power of spiritual energy, pouring into his mind.
, causing the chakra in Shikamaru's body to grow stronger.
After the singing gradually faded, Shikamaru also recovered from the state of absorbing faith. He glanced at the long list in his hand and said to Neji: "In that case, choose Tateyama Castle. How many people will you take with you?
Wipe out all the samurai and ninjas there, especially the cult organizations. Once my experiment makes progress, I will start my trek."

Uchida was kneeling on the ground, praying in a low voice to the wooden statue of the Lord on the wooden table in front of him, with a pious and respectful expression. The white robe on his body was patched in some places, but it was very clean and the clothes were dry.
It was inconvenient to work, but Masaru Uchida never thought of taking it off or changing it.
After praying, Uchida pressed his right hand on his left chest and bowed to the wooden statue. A circle the size of a fist was sealed with green silk thread on the piece of clothing where his right hand was pressed, implying the reincarnation of nature.
Indicates that he is one of the lowest-level apprentice priests of the Yi religion.
After Uchida finished praying, he stood up. The futon under him was very worn, which made him sigh.
"I have to ask someone to help me sew it again." Uchida was looking at the worn place on the futon and muttered to himself. Then he looked around the room. As far as he could see, he was really impoverished.
Half a month ago, Uchida Masa and his six companions' devout faith finally gained the approval of the Lord. They established a slight connection with the Lord and were able to perform some simple magic. They were regarded as trainee priests and were subsequently sent to different places.
Preaching in several villages.
Uchida Masaru was not sent to the city and relied on the power of magic to make friends with dignitaries. Uchida Masaru was not surprised. True gods do not care about money and power in the world. Only false gods and evil gods will be loyal to making money. The Lord only cares about faith.
To God, there is no difference between a pawn and a great name in a country. What's more, those who try to use people as animals to benefit all people without thinking about repaying them violate the teachings of Yi Jiao and destroy the relationship between the administrators and the people in the country.
As the cycle of cause and effect continues, when this oppression reaches its extreme, the order will be shattered.
Just when Uchida was thinking of this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and remembered the teachings before he suppressed the anger in his heart. The duty of the Lord Master is not to destroy, but to give hope to mankind, so he and other trainee priests were sent there.
In the countryside, use the knowledge and magical skills learned at the base to help ordinary people.
In an agricultural society, farmers are the most common and basic workers. Correspondingly, they have also become the natural ones to be exploited. Therefore, life in the village is poor and hard, but Uchida Masaru does not feel any discomfort at all. These young people were selected into the Yi
Before teaching, they were all orphans without fathers and mothers, either abandoned or trafficked. They were already lucky. Uchida Masaru had seen with his own eyes the scene of Yi Zi eating each other, which also made him more aware of today's world.
Feeling desperate, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the church. Now the task assigned to them by the chief priest is exactly what Masaru Uchida wants.
Although what they learned in the base for several months was only superficial agricultural and medical knowledge, for those low-level farmers who had never learned to write their own names in their lives, they were already "reading poetry and books". Although initially
When he arrived, the people in the village were a little wary and hostile, but when he helped the sick farmers who could not afford to see a doctor, provided free treatment, and even taught them some farming knowledge, the hostility of the villagers gradually resolved, but most people still had some feelings towards him.
Keeping them at a distance, Uchida is currently trying to blend in with them, so much so that he usually works with them.
It’s just that there seem to be oppressors and oppressed people everywhere in this world. Even in this small village, there is a village that is squeezing the village. Now this person seems to be very wary and hostile to Uchida Masa, and is trying to find ways to make things difficult for him.
, or even drive him away.
Uchida was thinking about a solution. He wanted to help the villagers dig canals and build water trucks, but this kind of action would definitely require him to have a very high prestige in the hearts of the villagers, and the village leader would definitely not sit idly by.
With his mind on his mind, he opened the door absentmindedly. The old wooden door made a harsh noise, causing a little boy wandering outside to startle.
"What's the matter, Hiramaru?" Uchida showed a gentle smile. He could feel the child's talent and had always wanted to bring him to the base and let the church cultivate him. Unfortunately, the situation had just been established here, and now he really couldn't get away from it.
body.
"...," the little boy named Hiramaru looked at Uchida Masaru, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Run!"
Uchida felt a chill in his heart and wanted to run into the house behind him with Hiramaru in his arms, but just as he had time to do so, several kunai pierced the air and pierced his left leg and right arm, causing him to fall to the ground.
.
…………
Almost at the same time that Uchida was being attacked, in the central stronghold of Oto Ninja Village, Shikamaru, who was reading the information left by Orochimaru, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "There are really people who are not afraid of death!"
