Tsunade ultimately chose the old path Orochimaru had suggested.
Perhaps after her vitality improved further, she might have been able to learn Wood Release through her own efforts, but she still chose to transplant Hashirama's cells into herself. After all, someone had to inherit Hashirama's Wood Release.
Moreover, Tsunade's intuition told her that merging with Hashirama's cells would greatly help her strength.
"After this, I will put you through training so you can adapt to your current strength as quickly as possible." Kazuki said in a deep voice, sweeping his gaze across Mikoto, Kushina, and Nawaki.
"Yes."
Hearing Kazuki's words, the few of them couldn't help but feel eager.
Among the three, Kushina was currently the strongest. Nine-Tails Chakra Mode instantly elevated her to Kage-level, and she was not weak even among Kage, which was very similar to the future Naruto.
It was just that her body was a bit too weak. After all, she didn't have Asura Chakra, and to fully bear Kurama's complete power, she needed to improve further.
By the time she is eighteen, or even twenty or twenty-five, she might be able to fully achieve it.
Naruto's situation was unique. He was only a half-baked Uzumaki with half Uzumaki blood. If not for the Asura Chakra, he wasn't particularly suitable to be a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
To allow Naruto to better bear Kurama's power, Minato did not hesitate to split Kurama's power in two, sealing the Yang Nine-Tails within Naruto's body. Under the continuous Yang Release Chakra from the Yang Nine-Tails, Naruto's physique had, in fact, grown to some extent. This was actually different from a complete Nine-Tails.
A complete Nine-Tails was definitely stronger, but in terms of helping the Jinchuriki, the Yang Nine-Tails might have a better effect.
If a Yin Nine-Tails could be put into a member of the Uchiha clan, it might help the Uchiha's Sharingan awaken quickly, and even help awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Minato was definitely a genius. This not only solved the problem of Naruto being unable to bear Kurama's power but also allowed him to use Kurama to help Naruto get stronger. However, what Minato didn't know was that even without Kurama's Yang Release Chakra, Naruto would eventually be able to bear Kurama's power.
After Asura's Chakra begins to awaken, it can subtly help the host improve their bloodline power.
Even if Naruto was only a half-baked Uzumaki, his physique would still be nourished, eventually becoming a true Sage Body. This was something none of the Uchiha clan's ancestors could have thought of.
Kushina couldn't nourish herself with Kurama's Chakra. Once she can use Kurama's power, the difficulty of entering Nine-Tails Chakra Mode will be greater than for Naruto. After all, Naruto only had half of Kurama.
But when Kushina uses Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, her strength would definitely be greater than Naruto's.
And now that Kushina had been injected with the nutrient solution, her physique had improved, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before she could enter Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
"I will also work hard." Mikoto said eagerly.
"It's a pity Minato went on a mission recently, otherwise we could have pulled him along too." Nawaki remarked with a hint of helplessness.
Konoha now had many strong individuals, and the new generation of powerhouses was gradually growing.
However, Hiruzen also had his own share of troubles. He could no longer command Kazuki, that great lord.
Tsunade and Orochimaru were currently engaged in various research projects and had no time to go out on missions.
Mikoto and Rinka were kept by Kazuki, and apart from occasionally being taken out on missions by Kazuki, both of them were training themselves.
Hiruzen also didn't feel comfortable letting them go out on missions.
If anything were to happen, wouldn't Kazuki tear down the Ninja World?
How long had these peaceful days just begun?
As a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even if Kushina hadn't fully adapted to Kurama's power, Hiruzen was unwilling for Kushina to move around freely, unless Kazuki was accompanying her.
As for Nawaki, he was currently mourning for Mito. Of course, Nawaki could usually go out on missions as well.
Jiraiya was forced by Hiruzen to go on missions, while Sakumo needed to search the entire world for Danzo. Everyone still remembered Danzo as an S-rank rogue ninja. To ensure safety, even Minato, who had initially mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, was dispatched. Compared to others, Minato, who had no bloodline support, clearly needed more experience.
"No choice, who else besides Kazuki has learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Tsunade glared at Nawaki exasperatedly.
Both were taught by Tobirama, so why did Minato learn the Flying Thunder God Technique while Nawaki couldn't?
As for Tsunade herself not having learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, she simply ignored it. Anyway, her disciple had already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, and she was going to follow Hashirama's path, not Tobirama's.
Nawaki only learned Water Release but failed to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was truly useless.
The result was that Jiraiya's disciple learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, which made Tsunade a bit upset. If Kazuki hadn't already mastered it, she would probably have been even more upset.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique, huh? Sigh." Nawaki sighed helplessly.
It wasn't that Nawaki didn't want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he simply couldn't.
Fortunately, Tsunade only complained a little.
"By the way, Orochimaru, afterwards, focus your attention on the Ōtsutsuki bloodline. I want to try using the Giant Tenseigan first to help them undergo bloodline regression. While Senju and Uchiha can also be used, if it's the first one, it's best to use the Hyuga and Ōtsutsuki." Kazuki seemed to have thought of something and instructed Orochimaru.
"This will also help with gaining experience."
"Hehe, I had the same idea. If it's the cells of Otsutsuki who haven't undergone regression and have relatively ordinary bloodlines, they can actually be used already. But those who have undergone regression and have stronger bloodlines need some special treatment." Orochimaru said with a chuckle.
"Moreover, I found that there are some differences in the genetic expression between the Hyuga and the Otsutsuki from the moon. If we complete it, coupled with the help of the current nutrient solution, there might be more benefits."
