Chapter 143

The man before them—his power was clearly enough to make even the Tailed Beast feel fear.

So the Tailed Beast had no choice but to submit,

becoming a pet in his hands.

Did they know the Tailed Beast was no pushover,

since ancient times,

no one could count how many humans had died at the Tailed Beast's hands.

Just from the aura and the smell of blood emanating from Shukaku's body, one could tell,

it was no sweet little kitten.

……

"Come, come, come!! Natsuki, let me introduce you."

"This is the clan head of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju."

"Clan Head Hashirama, this is my daughter, Nara Natsuki…"

"You two are the same age, you should have plenty to talk about, you can have a good chat from now on."

Nara Saki said to the two of them with a beaming smile.

Old fox!!

Shameless!!!

Akimichi Torufu and Yamanaka Mai cursed under their breaths on the side!!

Too bad both of them had sons, not daughters.

Otherwise, the two of them would have liked to introduce their daughters to Hashirama Senju as well.

They all knew that Hashirama Senju was still unmarried.

In other words, everyone else still had a chance.

But neither of them had a daughter, so that chance was destined to have nothing to do with them.

This idea had also been a sudden inspiration of Nara Saki's,

he knew that not long ago Hyuga Tenzo had used exactly this tactic,

trying to pair his daughter Hyuga Kazuki off with Hashirama Senju.

Since Hyuga Tenzo could do it,

why couldn't he, Nara Saki?

Besides, Hyuga Tenzo had so many sons and daughters,

Hyuga Kazuki was only one of them!!

And she was born into a branch family of the Hyuga clan,

while his daughter was his only one, Nara Natsuki,

the status and standing of the two simply could not be mentioned in the same breath!!

Looking at Nara Natsuki, whose face was expressionless, like she had facial paralysis.

Hashirama Senju wondered if she had been given the wrong name?

With that look of hers, she should have been called Nara Fuyuki.

And at this moment, Nara Saki seemed to notice that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off,

he quickly coughed a few times and explained.

"Clan Head Hashirama, please don't mind it."

"Natsuki, she… she's been like this since she was little, she doesn't really like to talk."

"But she often mentions Clan Head Hashirama's name in front of me, that I can guarantee you."

Hashirama Senju believed what Nara Saki said was true.

Because from the 3.7 he had been sitting here,

Nara Natsuki had been staring at him the whole time,

she hadn't even shifted her gaze!!!

But from Nara Natsuki's gaze,

he felt a very familiar sensation.

He had seen that same look in Tobirama Senju's eyes.

Except Tobirama Senju only showed such an intense, curious look

when he was facing the experimental materials in his laboratory.

A strange feeling rose unbidden in Hashirama Senju's heart.

This woman in front of me wouldn't be treating me as an experimental subject, would she?!!?

"You… could you give me a drop of your blood?"

After staring at Hashirama Senju for a long time,

Nara Natsuki finally said bluntly.

????

What the heck?

Even Hashirama Senju was caught off guard at first.

You've only just met me,

and you already want my blood??

Hearing his daughter say this,

GLOSSARY:

【Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hashirama, Tailed Beast, Shukaku, Nara Natsuki, Nara Saki, Akimichi Torufu, Yamanaka Mai, Hyuga Tenzo, Hyuga Kazuki, Nara Fuyuki】

Nara Saki nearly spat out the tea in his mouth!!!

"Natsuki!!! Mind your manners!!"

"Hurry up and apologize to Clan Head Hashirama. What on earth are you babbling about?"

Nara Saki gave Hashirama Senju an apologetic smile.

But Nara Natsuki acted as if she hadn't heard her father speak at all,

her gaze still burning as she stared at Hashirama Senju and said,

"I've heard your Wood Release is extremely powerful."

"If you could give me a single drop of your blood, perhaps I could extract the Wood Release cells from it…"

"Like this… fused with other Kekkei Genkai, there might be some new changes."

"I've already done experiments like this before. Quite a few have succeeded, but I simply haven't had any particularly powerful Kekkei Genkai cells lent to me for use…"

Hearing Nara Natsuki say this,

an interested expression appeared on Hashirama Senju's face.

This seemed to be a research prodigy no less talented than Tobirama Senju?!.

85. The Cultivation of Artificial Kekkei Genkai!!

"Cough cough!! Natsuki!! Stop talking nonsense."

"Hurry and apologize to Clan Head Hashirama!!"

Nara Saki, looking thoroughly embarrassed, cut off Nara Natsuki from continuing.

He turned his head and gave his daughter a reproachful look,

Originally, he had wanted to play matchmaker between Hashirama Senju and Nara Natsuki,

but the things Nara Natsuki was saying were enough to give anyone goosebumps.

Human experimentation,

this didn't look like anything a normal girl would do at all!!!

"What I'm saying is true. I don't mean to deceive you."

"If you're willing to let me research your cells,"

"I'm willing to share what I've researched with you, and I can also add some other things into your body."

Looking at Hashirama Senju,

a trace of longing appeared in Nara Natsuki's eyes.

【Orochimaru: I'm all too familiar with that look in this young Miss's eyes. Only someone with an extreme pursuit of research and truth can show such a sincere gaze!!!】

【Tobirama Senju: I have a premonition that this young Miss of the Nara clan may very well have researched something extraordinary. What she said is probably not nonsense, but real research she has actually conducted…!】
