Chapter 131

"Itachi're here?"

Senju Hoshiya asked curiously.

"What experiment is this?"

Orochimaru smiled and said.

"An experiment to allow ordinary people to master Kekkei Genkai."

Senju Hoshiya’s brows shot up instantly.

If this experiment could succeed, then they could mass-produce Kekkei Genkai ninja.

This would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the ninja village.

"What kind of Kekkei Genkai is this?"

Senju Hoshiya asked curiously.

"Lava Release."

"The materials were provided by Roshi."

Orochimaru said indifferently, then took a bottle of medicine from the cabinet on the side.

"Here, this is the finished product Itachi wanted."

"The current experimental situation is success within three attempts."

"However, no children have been born yet, so it is uncertain if it will have adverse effects on the child's health."

Senju Hoshiya’s originally somewhat happy expression wrinkled instantly.

"Cannot be determined?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said.

"Science must be rigorous; everything needs to rely on experimental data to make a judgment."

"But, one thing I can guarantee is that there will be no problems with physical health."

If there are no problems with physical health, then what else is there to worry about?

Senju Hoshiya was somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't physical health enough? What other problems could there be?"

Orochimaru explained.

"There will be some problems with the inheritance of talent."

"For example, Kekkei Genkai or physical constitution, etc., are very likely not to be inherited."

Once he said this, Senju Hoshiya understood what he meant.

Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Senju Hoshiya said.

"Do Itachi think this is for me to use?"

"I have so many children already, where would I need this?"

"I’m going to sell this stuff."

Orochimaru was speechless, then sighed and said.

"If Itachi had said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to research for so long."

"If Itachi just wanted to get pregnant, this medicine could have been used more than a month ago."

Upon hearing this, Senju Hoshiya felt a pang of heartache.

This kind of thing would definitely not be hard to sell, and those wealthy merchants and nobles who had money but no heirs would be even more willing to spend a high price to purchase it.

As a result, hearing Orochimaru say this now, Senju Hoshiya felt as heartbroken as if he had lost ten billion.

"Forget it, as long as it's researched, it's better than nothing."

Senju Hoshiya said with heartache, taking the medicine bottle and walking out of this place of sorrow.

Orochimaru looked helplessly at Senju Hoshiya’s departing back, unable to stop himself from shaking his head.

"He is good in every way, but he is too focused on making money."

"With such high talent, if he were willing to focus on learning Wood Release, he would definitely be able to surpass the achievements of Hashirama Senju."

"It's just a pity..."

Orochimaru’s face was full of helplessness, as if Senju Hoshiya was squandering his gifts, not knowing how to cherish them.

"My lord, where are we going next?"

After leaving Orochimaru’s laboratory, Ye Cang pushed up her plain glasses and asked seriously.

Senju Hoshiya tossed the medicine bottle in his hand, a mysterious smile on his lips.

"Of course, to see my father-in-law whom I have yet to meet."

"It just so happens I can give him a gift."

Father-in-law?

Ye Cang’s brows furrowed slightly.

Senju Hoshiya didn't have many fathers-in-law, let alone anyone worth him personally delivering a gift to.

But thinking about it, Ye Cang thought of one candidate.

The father of Senju Hoshiya’s third wife, Yuan Yuan Yuan Shizhi.

Who was also the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!

…………

Daimyo’s Mansion.

The Daimyo sat in the seat of honor, looking down at Senju Hoshiya, or rather, his Wood Clone.

"Is Yuan Yuan Shizhi doing well over there?"

Senju Hoshiya said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Daimyo, everything is well with Yuan Yuan Shizhi over there."

"I will certainly not let her suffer the slightest grievance."

The Daimyo nodded, then asked.

"What about the child? Is the child doing well?"

"If Itachi can't take care of it over there, Itachi can bring it to me."

Want to snatch my child?

Are Itachi tired of living?

Senju Hoshiya’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile on his lips.

"There is no need to trouble yourself with the child's affairs, my lord."

"I will take good care of the child."

"I came here this time, actually, to give this gift to Itachi."

Saying this, he ordered the servant on the side to hand over the medicine bottle that had been prepared long ago.

The Daimyo took a look, then withdrew his gaze.

"Itachi have a heart."

"But, I will not eat it."

His attitude was very firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.

This was also normal.

How could the Daimyo directly eat such a highly suspicious drug?

Senju Hoshiya smiled and said.

"If Itachi are worried, Itachi can let others eat it first."

"As for the effect, Itachi can observe it carefully."

The Daimyo was noncommittal and changed the subject.

"When does Yuan Yuan Shizhi plan to come over?"

"I miss her."

Senju Hoshiya answered with a smile.

"She doesn't want to leave the child's side for the time being; perhaps when the child grows up a bit more, she will come back to your side to accompany Itachi."

The Daimyo nodded, then raised his hand and waved.

"Alright, I'm a bit tired, Itachi may leave."

Senju Hoshiya stood up, bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.

The moment he turned around, the smile on Senju Hoshiya’s face immediately vanished, and his eyes became terrifying.

Damn old man, how dare Itachi have designs on my daughter?

Itachi really don't know how to write the word 'death'.

Other ninja villages needed the Daimyo to provide funds to maintain the village's expenses.

But he didn't need to.

The wealth possessed by the Senju Real Estate and Senju Bank in his hands was far more than that of the Daimyo’s Mansion!

It was clear that the Daimyo hadn't realized this, which led to him not seeing his own position clearly.

If Senju Hoshiya wanted to, he didn't need to acknowledge any Daimyo at all, but could directly take the power of the country into his own hands.

After all, most of the military power of the Land of Fire was under his control.

Just relying on the current Danzo and the Uchiha clan, they couldn't amount to anything.

"No rush for now, but I can guarantee that Itachi won't live much longer."

Senju Hoshiya said indifferently, the killing intent in his eyes gradually receding.

Now was not the time.

At least wait for Senju Senju Liya to grow up a bit more, and then properly maneuver Yuan Yuan Yuan Shizhi to become the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

That way, the Land of Fire would be completely under his, Senju Hoshiya’s, control.

For now, the Daimyo still had his uses.

However, there was no need to pay too much attention to the Daimyo’s other children.

Leaving the Daimyo’s Mansion, Boss Jiao, who was waiting outside, immediately leaned in and whispered.

"My lord, please look."

Boss Jiao handed over an invitation.

Senju Hoshiya took it and looked; it was a joint invitation from a group of wealthy merchants.

It seemed they were looking to discuss some matters with him.

"Did they say what it was about?"

Boss Jiao shook his head, but then whispered.

"They didn't say explicitly, but my subordinates investigated secretly; they seem to want to cooperate with your Wanda Plaza."

"They want their goods to dominate your Wanda Plaza, thereby driving out the goods of other competitors."

"Reject it."

Senju Hoshiya tore the invitation into pieces and said indifferently.

"If Itachi want to get on my boat, Itachi need to follow my rules."

Boss Jiao bowed his head.

"Yes, Boss."

Senju Hoshiya nodded.

"By the way, keep watch here for a while; if there is any news, notify me immediately."

"Yes, Boss!"

…………

Inside the Daimyo’s Mansion, the Daimyo held the medicine bottle presented by Senju Hoshiya.

The medicine bottle was entirely white, with no instructions on it.

Inside were some white round pills.

"My lord, do Itachi need to arrange some test subjects?"

A servant asked, bowing his head.

The Daimyo nodded.

The servant immediately retreated respectfully.

Soon, three shivering people were brought over.

They were terrified, heads bowed and trembling, not daring to look up at the noble person in front.

Immediately after, the servant forcibly poured the pills into their mouths.

Then he retreated to the side, waiting for the medicine to take effect.
