"It's hard, unless the cells are removed immediately, this person is almost dead." Asahi frowned and said.
Glancing at Orochimaru, he continued, "The energy that engulfed this person's cells is very powerful, and unless something can suppress them, he will die sooner or later. I'm now studying with Tsunade-sensei to understand more about pharmacology. Maybe if she looks at these cells, she can find a way."
"There may be one thing that can suppress these cells, but it's a bit troublesome to get hands on it." Orochimaru said solemnly.
Seeing that Orochimaru rejected his offer, Asahi though was very tempted, decided to not mention it again. If the Hashirama Cells were so easy to get, he would doubt the authenticity of the sample.
As for the thing that Orochimaru mentioned that could suppress the Hashirama Cells, it should be the Sharingan.
It's a pity that the most recent opportunity to get a Sharingan was cut off by Asahi. Orochimaru at this time might still hold a little grudge against him. Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have brought him to his home in such an upright manner.
"What is it?" Asahi asked in confusion, "The energy of these cells is already unnaturally powerful. I don't think that we currently have anything that has the power to suppress it."
"Nothing in this world is devoid of flaws, and it is because of such defects that we can have fun in making up for these flaws." Orochimaru said with interest.
"I understand, Orochimaru-sama." Asahi arched slightly, while saying respectfully.
"From your medical-nin perspective, what do you think of these cells?" Orochimaru asked.
He pondered for a moment, and said, "These cells contain very powerful life-force. It's also due to that same life energy that these cells can continuously devour this person's original cells. The opposite of life is death. For the development of a drug that can control these cells, we might have to start with poisons, but with my current ability, it's too difficult to be sure about it. Maybe Tsunade-sensei can do it, but..."
Although he didn't continue with the following words, the meaning was already obvious. However, Tsunade would never help Orochimaru do such an experiment.
"Poison?" Orochimaru hearing this, frowned, and after thinking for a while, he started to talk, "The village will negotiate with the Sunagakure in seven days. I'll get some books about poison from Sunagakure's side, I'll allow you to take them back and study them."
"Okay!" Asahi said.
Although poison was not the most powerful tactic in a ninja battle, for the current Asahi, if poison was attached on his hidden weapons, the lethal power of his weapon attacks would definitely be greatly improved.
"Alright, it's getting late, you can take your leave." Orochimaru said.
"Yes."
…
On the way home, Asahi had been thinking about today's conversation with Orochimaru, whether he had left any weak spot open or did he overdid with his act.
After talking to these big people, Asahi always thinks about whether there was anything wrong with his act or words every single time. Overtime, this had almost become a habit.
Although this time he couldn't help Orochimaru in his investigation of the Hashirama Cells, he shouldn't have disappointed him either.
After all, even Orochimaru himself couldn't get the Hashirama Cells to do his bidding. If he came up with a way to control the Hashirama Cells instead, that would make Orochimaru suspicious.
But this time was an opportunity, a great opportunity to get in touch with the legendary Hashirama Cells.
Asahi could feel that Orochimaru doesn't trust him much, he just wanted to make use of his medical-ninjutsu.
After all, Asahi was different from Anko. Anko respected Orochimaru, but Asahi was someone who only followed him for strength. There was an essential difference between the two of them.
Orochimaru should also understand this, that as long as he could always give Asahi strength, he would not betray him. But once this pact was broken, or someone could give Asahi better conditions, he would betray him without the slightest hesitation.
However, at that time, Orochimaru would definitely deal him personally. He had enough confidence in his strength.
Orochimaru believed that even if Asahi betrayed him, he could still just silently get rid of him. Asahi also understood this, so he secretly contacted Chizuru, and wanted to enhance his strength from other angles.
This was the current relationship between him and Orochimaru, using each other and guarding against each other, but Asahi had to always been the one on his guard due to weakness.
But, there's one thing, Asahi had an advantage over Orochimaru.
Asahi had seen the original work. Orochimaru's best ninjutsu was developed through snakes.
The training route set by Asahi for himself was based on senjutsu. In conjunction with other ninjutsu, it's generally Jiraiya's style, which included some forbidden jutsu from Orochimaru and taijutsu from Tsunade.
The non-Kekkei Genkai elites from the original work that he set as reference targets for improvement were figures such as Jiraiya, Minato, Hiruzen, etc.
Asahi was eager to contribute to Konoha in order to get a chance to see the Scroll of Seals. [Flying Thunder God] was a ninjutsu that he must get. Whether he could learn it or not, he must at least try to train in it first.
As long as he could learn [Flying Thunder God], Asahi had the confidence to face Orochimaru directly.
After returning home, Asahi decided to relax his mind and started training the nature changes of earth-attribute chakra.
Since getting Orochimaru's experience on it, Asahi had developed a considerable degree of mastery in Earth-style chakra. He believed it wouldn't be long before he could fully grasp it.
*Knock*
*Knock*
*Knock*
A special knock sounded, and Asahi knew it was a way for Anbu to communicate. He immediately dropped training and ran over to the door.
"Yes? What's the matter?" Asahi asked.
"Konoha chunin, Senmei Asahi." Anbu ninja first confirmed his identity, and then started to talk, "Go to the eighth training ground at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"When did Anbu started doing this kind of work?" He asked in confusion.
"Do you have any questions? Chunin Senmei Asahi?" Anbu ninja asked coldly.
"Of course!" Asahi looked mockingly at the Anbu ninja, and asked coldly, "Such a bad [Transformation Jutsu], and who are you?"
As soon as his voice fell, Anbu ninja's throat got pressed by a sharp kunai, and Asahi's clone appeared silently behind the other guy.
"With this level of strength, Anbu wouldn't even bother to look at you." Asahi said with a smile plastered on his young face.
