Tsunade had always been decisive.
She imdiately opened her summoning storage scroll and took out a portion of dicinal herbs and extraction equipnt.
After reaching the step where the essence was extracted from all the dicinal herbs, she extended her hand.
A large amount of Yang Release chakra surged into the herbal essence.
However, she quickly discovered a problem.
There was a limit to how much Yang Release chakra the herbal essence could contain.
After Tsunade could no longer infuse any more Yang Release chakra, she withdrew her hand.
"It's about one-tenth of the chakra required for the Mystical Palm Technique," Orochimaru judged.
The Mystical Palm Technique was an A-rank dical Ninjutsu with a high learning difficulty.
Anyone who could master it could be called a dical Jonin.
Its effects were also comprehensive, capable of treating most internal and external injuries.
It was only helpless against injuries such as missing limbs, near-death conditions, or extensive organ damage.
"One-tenth of the effect of the Mystical Palm Technique. While it is stronger than the Blue Healing Potion, the increase is still limited."
Tsunade sighed and said.
"If it's only slightly stronger than the Blue Healing Potion, then it cannot be promoted."
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Its cost is much higher, so promoting it would be counterproductive."
"Mm."
Tsunade agreed.
"But the limit of how much Yang Release chakra the herbal essence can contain is fixed, and it will be difficult to increase."
Orochimaru frowned as he spoke.
"Then is there so kind of item that can contain a large amount of Yang Release chakra?"
Natsuki asked at just the right mont.
Tsunade subconsciously lowered her head.
Hidden against her snow-white skin was a necklace.
It was Hashirama's keepsake.
On the necklace was a chakra crystal, which sealed Hashirama's chakra within it.
"A chakra crystal would work."
Orochimaru also imdiately thought of chakra crystals. "But they are too rare. There is only one in all of Konoha."
A chakra crystal, as the na suggested, was chakra condensed into a solid crystal.
The reason it was rare was that, apart from Hashirama, it was difficult to find another Shinobi with that much chakra.
Not only were Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and the others unable to do it, but even Tobirama would have found it extrely difficult.
Orochimaru suddenly paused.
He thought of sothing comparable to a chakra crystal.
Hashirama cells.
Because he had participated in the Hashirama cell experint Hiruzen had presided over back then.
At that ti, after learning about Hashirama cells, he had been greatly shocked.
He could not understand why, even though a person had been dead for so long, his cells were still not dead and instead possessed terrifying vitality.
It was also this vitality that gave Konoha the idea of creating artificial Wood Release Shinobi.
Simply put, it ant transplanting Hashirama cells into Shinobi.
But success lay in this vitality, and failure did as well.
The feature of Hashirama cells, which seed as if they were still alive, caused them to clash violently with other people's bodies.
As a result, there were no survivors.
What if the Hashirama cells were put into the herbal essence?
The herbal essence was not human, so logically, it should not clash with the Hashirama cells.
Moreover, the amount of Hashirama cells could be controlled.
There would be no need to put in as many Hashirama cells as in a transplant. A tiny amount would be enough.
The only problem was whether Mito and Tsunade would agree.
After all, Hashirama was dead. Extracting his cells was no different from desecrating the dead.
The reason Konoha's Hashirama cell experint had been able to proceed back then was also because Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade had consented to it.
Hiruzen had used the grand cause of "for Konoha" as the reason, making them reluctantly accept it.
Could the Red Healing Potion's effect reach that level?
Orochimaru was very skeptical.
"I will think about what kind of item could achieve this."
Tsunade regained her focus and said.
She had not imdiately thought of Hashirama cells, but her thoughts were sowhat similar to Orochimaru's.
If the effect of the Red Healing Potion was good enough, she could take out the chakra crystal on the First Hokage's necklace.
But there was also a problem.
Once the chakra crystal was used up, it would not regenerate.
However, she could first use the chakra crystal to make a potion and see whether the effect was truly worth it.
There was quite a lot of Hashirama's chakra sealed within the chakra crystal, so making one potion would not cause much loss.
But there was no need to rush for now.
She would first see whether she could find a substitute.
"Mm."
Orochimaru nodded and said, "I will think about it too."
Hashirama cells were too special.
Unless Tsunade brought it up herself, he would not ntion it.
Although Natsuki felt a bit regretful, he could guess what Orochimaru was thinking.
You do not say it, and I will not say it either.
Natsuki ended his discussion with them, ran to the side, and practiced with Nawaki and Kushina.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, the group continued their journey.
At dusk, they finally arrived at the southeast coast of the Land of Fire.
"This is my first ti seeing the ocean!"
Nawaki ran toward the seaside very excitedly.
"The ocean isn't much to look at."
Kushina said this with little interest.
Because the Land of Whirlpools was surrounded by the sea on all sides, she had seen the ocean far too often since childhood.
Natsuki had seen the ocean in his past life, but this was his first ti seeing it in this life.
But as soone who had lived two lives, he was not as excited as Nawaki and appeared quite calm.
Tsunade glanced at Natsuki, then at Nawaki, and could not help shaking her head.
Fortunately, there were no enemies nearby.
Otherwise, Nawaki's behavior would be no different from seeking death.
He was still too young and reckless after all.
By contrast, Natsuki was very satisfactory to her.
If he had the sa personality as Nawaki, then the future of their squad would be worrying.
"Begin the mission."
After Nawaki returned, Orochimaru spoke. "Unless it is absolutely necessary, neither Tsunade nor I will intervene."
"Kushina, do you know any sensory Ninjutsu?"
Natsuki looked at Kushina and asked.
"Yes."
Kushina nodded and said.
Although the Uzumaki Clan was best known for Sealing Jutsu, their sensory Ninjutsu was also quite impressive.
The Mind's Eye of the Kagura was even considered the strongest sensory Ninjutsu in the Shinobi World, stronger than the Byakugan.
Of course, the current Kushina did not know the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
"Then let's find our target first."
After Natsuki finished speaking, he ford hand seals and summoned his Summoning Animal, the crow Kurohane.
Nawaki summoned his Ninja Dog, Saburo.
Sea, land, and air.
Only the sea was missing.
Natsuki felt that he could find a Summoning Animal from the sea.
But sea-based Summoning Animals were very rare, and he could not think of any Summoning Animal he could contract with at the mont.
"Take this path."
Natsuki took out a map and said, "This path has plenty of cover, so it can hide us, and it is not far from the seaside."
"The chosen route is not bad."
Tsunade took a look and said.
Natsuki and his group imdiately began their reconnaissance along the chosen route.
Tsunade and Orochimaru followed them in secret.
But obviously, finding a group of roaming rogue Shinobi was not a simple matter.
Tsunade grew bored while following them, so she continued pondering the Red Healing Potion.
Suddenly, her gaze sharpened.
Like Orochimaru, she thought of Hashirama cells.
Hashirama cells contained a large amount of chakra, perfectly eting the requirents.
But Tsunade hesitated.
