Fusion of the Uzumaki Cells?
Uchiha Shin was eager to start. If he could truly fuse Uzumaki cells, the chakra reserves within him would be upgraded by several levels!
Even without activating the Mangekyō Sharingan, he could reach the level of a Kage. In fact, with the enhancement of the Uzumaki cells, his eye techniques might also improve.
He had to fuse the cells.
"It's still uncertain if it will succeed. Everyone's cellular traits are different, and each person needs a new fusion!" Hikari, looking at Uchiha Shin seriously, responded, "However, with Genya-sama's successful fusion as an example, completing the experiment shouldn't be too difficult!"
"As long as there's hope, that's enough. I'll wait!" Uchiha Shin wasn't disappointed. He knew just how difficult it was to fuse cells.
If it were that easy, there would already be many people with the First Hokage's cells walking around.
"Dad, help me find two top medical ninjas, preferably from other villages. Have them sent to the laboratory to assist Hikari with the experiment!" Genya suggested to his father.
If Hikari had to conduct these experiments on so many people, would she even have time to train? He didn't want Hikari to just be a medical ninja.
With help, Hikari could stay on the sidelines, only involved in the key steps of the experiment.
"Alright, leave it to me!" His father replied with confidence. This was an important matter for the Uchiha clan, and he didn't want to take it lightly. The sooner it was resolved, the better.
"Dad, those people must be loyal. If they're not, we'll need a way to control them!" Genya reminded him once again. Once they arrived, they must remain in the hidden basement and never leave unless absolutely necessary.
If anything were to leak, it could cause irreversible damage to the Uchiha clan.
"Don't worry. Genya, take me to the hospital's underground laboratory. I'll place special explosive tags in the lab. If it's exposed, we'll trigger them immediately, destroying all experimental items, so no one can find any traces!" Uchiha Shin nodded seriously, his resolve firm.
"Alright, Uncle Shin, thank you!" Genya nodded. This was like setting up insurance for the laboratory.
Even though Konoha discovered this laboratory, there was no evidence linking it to cell experiments. Even if the Sarutobi clan wanted to target the Uchiha clan, they had no reason to do so.
However, this could make Sarutobi Hiruzen suspicious, thinking the Uchiha clan wasn't acting peacefully.
{Research on cells, especially First Hokage's cells, requires secrecy, but after Danzo's death, this kind of research could be openly done.}
The reason Genya hid the cell experiments was because he feared the Third Hokage would target them.
"Shouldn't we tell the other clan members about this? Get their flesh and blood too?" Uchiha Shin asked eagerly. He seemed excited, wanting to discovery with the rest of the clan. "Also, Genya-kun, you're the genius of the clan! You should tell them too!"
"No, Uncle Shin, we can't tell them, especially not about my abilities or the laboratory," Genya firmly shook his head and continued, "The fewer people who know about this, the better."
He had invited Uchiha Shin to spar by this remote lake because he feared someone would find out his secret.
"Does that mean other clan members can't undergo the cell transplant?" Uchiha Shin asked, disappointed. He imagined if the entire Uchiha clan could integrate Uzumaki cells, the clan would thrive even more.
"Not for now," Genya answered, looking at Uchiha Shin. "Uncle Shin, this cell experiment is still unstable. Once the experiment is perfected, every Uchiha clan member will be able to undergo it!"
"Alright," Uchiha Shin nodded, but his eyes glinted with a plan. Since he couldn't tell others, he would find a chance to secretly take some flesh from a few old friends.
If the experiment succeeded, they could transplant the cells together! When the time came, those people would definitely be grateful to him.
The conversation between the few of them by the lake stayed hidden in their hearts as they returned to the merchant guild.
"Father, you promised me that as long as I could beat Uncle Shin, I could travel with the merchant caravan! Don't back out!" Genya said, looking at his adoptive father with some eagerness.
He also wanted to see the world beyond Konoha!
"You..." Uchiha Kinya hesitated. In the end, he looked at Uchiha Shin, hoping for his input.
Uchiha Shin looked at Genya and nodded at Uchiha Kinya. He then said slowly, "Genya-kun has already surpassed me in strength. He can go, but from the fight just now, it's clear that Genya-kun still lacks battle experience. If his battle experience were better, I might have been defeated even more badly!"
This was Uchiha Shin's thoughtful conclusion. Once a person's abilities reached a certain level, they had to keep training and experiencing battle to break through their limits.
Genya was like that. His chakra, ninjutsu, and genjutsu were already at the highest level. If he could also improve his battle experience, he would be able to reach the level of a top-tier elite jonin!
"Training?" Uchiha Kinya still hesitated. After all, Genya was his own son.
"If the boss is worried, I can accompany Genya-sama on the escort mission!" Uchiha Shin noticed the unease in Uchiha Kinya and added a reminder.
A ninja who hasn't grown up in the midst of storms and bloodshed, no matter how talented, will still be lacking compared to theElite Jonin!
Look at the past Hokage and Madara—weren't they all forged in the fires of battle?
"Alright!" Uchiha Kinya sighed helplessly and waved his hand. "Seven days from now, a shipment needs to be delivered to Sunagakure. You go with Genya."
Seeing Genya's serious expression, Kinya reluctantly nodded.
Plus, with his son and Uchiha Shin, two Elite jonin, there shouldn't be any unexpected issues.
"Okay, then we'll go to Sunagakure!" Genya's eyes sparkled with excitement in his voice.
He wondered if he would meet the young Gaara on this trip. He also wanted to see Shukaku, the One-Tail. If possible, he might even try to get a bit of Shukaku's chakra... just a little bit... just a little!
Uchiha Shin smiled knowingly.
On top of the mountain, Uchiha Genya, carrying extra weight, was the first to climb up, followed by Hikari, Hayashi, and Neji!
Among these people, Hayashi had put in the most effort and made the fastest progress.
He knew that, with his age, becoming a strong ninja required more effort than most others could give. Every night when Genya returned home, he'd often see Hayashi still practicing.
Day and night training, combined with the restorative power of the green light, Hayashi seemed like a perpetual motion machine, always practicing!
Behind him were Hikari and Neji.
When everyone reached the top, Might Guy looked at Genya and the others seriously and said, "I'm heading out for a mission. I'm leaving a life-saving taijutsu technique with you. Remember, you must never use it unless it's a life-threatening situation!"
