Chapter 146

Her aura had grown stronger than before by more than several times!!!

"After countless studies."

"I discovered… based on certain cellular changes, if their arrangement and combination are altered… they can produce some extremely peculiar effects."

"During one accidental experiment, I applied this change to myself."

"My body's strength and speed increased by at least fivefold."

"And this enhancement has no limits—it only grows stronger as my power increases… with no side effects whatsoever."

"It might even be possible to inherit this Kekkei Genkai to offspring."

In Hashirama Senju's observation,

Nara Xiamoon swung her arms,

turning them into a blur of afterimages,

her speed had indeed increased tremendously!!!

Nara Xiamoon had actually developed her own Kekkei Genkai?!!

This truly shocked even Hashirama Senju!!!

He hadn't expected her to carry her scientific research to this level.

This was an artificially cultivated Kekkei Genkai!!

【Orochimaru: Ah… such a talented individual died too early; had she lived, I would have thoroughly discussed Kekkei Genkai research with her.】

【Tobirama Senju: What a pity… the more talented the individual, the more insane they become!!! Now I understand why she ended up with such a tragic fate!! In such experiments, a hair's breadth of error leads to total failure—any tiny mistake means complete loss!! She dared to use her own body as an experiment subject??】

【Tsunade: To have survived this long, her life force must be incredibly strong—no ordinary person could have achieved this.】

【Fourth Raikage: If we followed the development of our world, she would have died within a few years—but now, with such a completely different First Hokage, her future remains deeply intriguing.】

【Madara Uchiha: This Hashirama is like a giant butterfly—his changes have caused massive shifts throughout the world!! I now believe the world will undergo an utterly different transformation!! What we couldn't accomplish, perhaps he can.】

【Hashirama Senju: Ban, if you say that, aren't you denying me? I still believe my path is correct…】

【Tobirama Senju: Brother, give it up. Though I dislike Madara Uchiha, I must admit some of his views are right—perhaps the other you truly can change the world and achieve what we cannot!!】

【Obito Uchiha: First Hokage!! If you had lived to our era and seen the world we have now, would you still believe everything you did was right??】

86. The Sage of Six Paths appeared in a dream!!

"Remarkable…"

Staring at Nara Xiamoon's developed ninjutsu,

Hashirama Senju sighed.

Though to him,

Nara Xiamoon's Kekkei Genkai was not particularly powerful,

even somewhat ordinary!!

Yet among all the ninja in the ninja world,

those possessing a Kekkei Genkai were exceedingly rare!!!

Not every ninja without a Kekkei Genkai

could reach the pinnacle through talent alone!!

Even in Hashirama Senju's understanding,

many of the top-tier ninja

differed from one another only by whether or not they possessed a Kekkei Genkai.

Genius is ninety-nine percent effort and one percent talent,

but that one percent of talent is the most crucial—and most fatal—element.

Among the many ninja Hashirama Senju had seen,

many powerful ones

were held back at their final step by what was called a Kekkei Genkai!!

If they had broken through that step themselves,

they would never have faced such a barrier.

But because they lacked the ability to break through it themselves,

they remained stuck at that step!!

【Orochimaru: If this girl had lived in the same era as me, I would have been confident we could unravel most Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world!! What a terrible pity!!】

【Jiraiya: Heh… Orochimaru, stop trying to corrupt her. You being a mad scientist is one thing—but are you really trying to trick this innocent girl?】

【Shikamaru Danzo: If this girl had lived to our era, Orochimaru, do you think you'd have had a chance to bring her with you? I would have placed her in the Root and nurtured her properly long ago!!】

【Fourth Raikage: Are you guys from Konoha even ashamed? Such a talented individual—if you'd raised her, she'd likely have defected from Konoha anyway. Better to give her to us, the Hidden Cloud Village—we'd cherish such talent properly!】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: Fourth Raikage, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You have no such talent in your own village, so you want to steal ours?! Do you think your village has few defectors?】

【Tsunade: Still, I don't think this girl is any better than Orochimaru… using her own body as an experiment and creating so many strange lifeforms? That doesn't look like something a normal girl would do!】

【Tobirama Senju: Little Tsunade… don't be biased. I actually think such novel thinking is incredibly rare—I look forward to seeing how the other me meets her.】

【Hashirama Senju: Ban, you saw this girl take the Sharingan from your Uchiha clan—aren't you angry? Your silence doesn't feel like you at all.】

【Madara Uchiha: I am no longer the Uchiha clan's leader. The Uchiha clan's affairs are no longer my concern. Their choice to stay behind proves they are no longer on the same path as me!!】

Madara Uchiha: I am no longer the head of the Uchiha clan. The affairs of the Uchiha clan have nothing to do with me. Their choice to not leave with me proves they are no longer on the same path as I am!!

"I have a feeling your invention may change this world."

"In the future, your research will surely play an unimaginable role!!"

"In the future, your research will play an unimaginable role!!"

Staring at Nara Natsuki,

Hashirama Senju said with a serious expression!!

"Really? Don't you think my research looks terrifying?"

Nara Katsuki also looked astonished,

this was the first time anyone had praised her research.

Even her father, Nara Saki,

rarely acknowledged her work,

Hashirama Senju was the first person to show approval of her research!!!

"I'm not lying to you—in the future… your research will have unimaginable significance!!"

"Perhaps, by then, I'll even need your help…"

Hashirama Senju pondered for a moment,

only then did he realize,

Nara Katsuki's research was far more important than he had imagined.

Because Nara Katsuki's work,

in a certain sense,

shattered the monopoly of Kekkei Genkai!!!

If,

the existence of daimyo and aristocratic systems oppressed ordinary people,

then isn't the disparity between ninja with Kekkei Genkai and those without it also a form of oppression?

Hashirama Senju understood,

these two might not be comparable.

But the ninja world did indeed have this phenomenon,

yet Nara Katsuki's inventions

might break this phenomenon,

her research could possibly make the clan system vanish!!!

In Hashirama Senju's vision,

the daimyo aristocratic system should not exist!!

Even the clan system should not exist!!

The aristocratic lord system should not exist!!

Even the family system should not exist!!
