"Freedom. Freedom."
Baishi watched Yamato standing there, muttering to himself. He didn't stop and walked straight toward him. As he moved forward, he was prepared to take action at any moment.
However, when he got closer, the other party still did not react.
Seeing this, Baishi continued walking, and the two passed each other without incident.
At that moment, Baishi suddenly made his move. He struck Yamato's neck with a precise hand chop, c...

Time passed by, second by second.
In the room, Baishi sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, with only his ears occasionally twitching, as if he were listening to something.
At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of brilliance flickered in his pupils, causing his aura to undergo a dramatic transformation.
"It's time to leave this cage!"
At this moment, Baishi was no longer the lifeless shell he had been before; now he ...

Seeing Yamato back to normal, Orochimaru immediately approached him to perform an examination. During this time, Yamato showed no extraneous reactions, almost like a puppet, allowing Orochimaru to manipulate him.
After a long time, Orochimaru finally stopped his actions and looked at Baishi. "Do you remember what I said yesterday?"
Hearing this, Baishi remained silent, but inwardly he mentally complained, "You said so much yesterday; who knows which part I should rem...

The next day.
Morning.
Under Orochimaru's guidance, Baishi met Yamato for the "first time."
Unlike Orochimaru, who was fully armed, Yamato was only wearing a hospital gown, looking more like a patient than a ninja. However, judging from his demeanor, it was clear that he had seen blood.
'It seems Danzo hasn't given up on him.
After all, if he had really given up, this experiment wouldn't be happening.'
While Baish...

Being exposed by Orochimaru about his secret, it would be a lie to say that Baishi felt calm inside. However, he couldn't show it.
Therefore, he could only remain silent, just as before.
"Hehe~"
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Orochimaru chuckled softly and continued, "According to the examination just now, your mental energy far exceeds that of your peers, almost reaching the level of a Jonin.
Of course, this is not surprising, considering ...

"Beep—"
A sharp whistle suddenly sounded.
The entire camp felt like it came alive in an instant, and a clamor erupted.
"Just as I expected!"
Listening to the commotion around him, Bai Shi muttered to himself. When he unleashed his chakra, he had already anticipated this outcome.
However, he had no choice; if he couldn't swiftly kill the target, who knew what tricks the other party might have up their sleeve? After all, the tar...

Due to his wariness of Danzo, Bai Shi dared not show any signs of abnormality. After regaining his strength, he immediately set off for the mission location, moving like a true ROOT ninja. As he was already close to the eastern border troops' base, he quickly entered the defense zone of the first team.
Thanks to ROOT's intelligence, he easily avoided watchtowers and patrol units along the way. About an hour later, Bai Shi arrived outside the camp of the second squad.

After leaving Danzo's office, Bai Shi didn't waste a moment and immediately returned to his room to prepare.
As he carefully wiped the kunai in his hand, he fell into deep thought.
He was contemplating whether he should distance himself from ROOT. Undoubtedly, this solo mission presented an excellent opportunity.
Although he had yet to remove the 'Tongue Curse Root Eradication Seal' from his body, Danzo cannot control or kill him from afar.

Seeing that Baishi was weak, the four Kumogakure jonin who had just escaped immediately launched a counterattack.
In an instant, dozens of shurikens flew out, heading straight for Bai Shi's vital points.
However, it seemed that Baishi was completely oblivious to these attacks. He continued to recover his chakra without any intention of dodging.
As the shuriken were about to hit him, suddenly, four Root Jonin stepped in front of him, wie...

In battles between ninjas, intelligence is extremely important. It was precisely because Aburame Ryoma had first confirmed the enemy's position, number, and strength that they were able to successfully set up an ambush and complete the encirclement.
Without this information, the difficulty of completely annihilating the enemy would have increased exponentially.
Fortunately, everything was progressing according to plan.
Watching the Cloud ninjas below, wh...

"Number 36, Lord Danzo requests your presence!"
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in Baishi's ear.
Baishi furrowed his brow, stood up, and replied softly, "Understood."
After saying that, he turned around and looked up at the person who delivered the message and added, "Also..."
"What?"
The Root ninja who delivered the message was confused and let out a puzzled sound.
At that moment, two sharp wooden spikes suddenly pro...

Outside the experimental zone.
Two masked Root ninjas were guarding the entrance to the base.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came, as if something was growing.
The two looked towards the sound and saw thick vines spreading out from the crack in the base's gate.
Seeing this, one shouted, "Be careful!"
As he spoke, both of them jumped back several meters and drew their kunai.
With more and more vines appearing, the base d...

Regaining his focus, Baishi stopped pondering irrelevant thoughts and redirected his attention to himself.
Although Orochimaru had injected him with a more active extraction of Hashirama's cells in advance, it still posed no significant pressure for him.
At this moment, he felt as if he had merely caught a cold; he only felt weak all over and didn't experience the previous excruciating pain of his body being torn apart.
He could clearly sense that his...

As they entered the experimental area, Orochimaru and Danzo did not immediately approach Bai Shi but instead made their way to Cultivation Tank No. 17, where Yamato was located.
At that moment, Yamato was not in a good state. His body was tinged green, and parts of his skin had cracked open, with saplings sprouting from the crevices.
It was evident that this was a sign of losing control.
It was no wonder that Orochimaru had declared the experiment a fail...

"Is this... a success?"
The speaker was Danzo, his voice revealing a slight tremor.
As a ninja who had witnessed the might of the god of shinobi firsthand, he understood the overwhelming power of the Wood Release.
And for that reason, he was certain that such power would suffice to support his inner ambitions.
Hearing Danzo's inquiry, Orochimaru responded slowly, "It's not yet possible to say it's a success. The current activation rate of th...

Recollecting his scattered thoughts, Bai Shi forcibly suppressed the increasingly active Hashirama cells due to the failed inhibitor and initiated evolution once more.
Thanks to the II-level [Cell Adaptability], during the previous eight days, the erosion from Hashirama's cells had only increased by 1.4%. Although they were still eroding his body, the speed had significantly slowed down.
Additionally, over these eight days, the fusion rate of his cells with Hashirama...

As the door to the experimental area closed once again, Baishi, as usual, opened his eyes.
Unlike the previous few days, this time, there was less restlessness in his gaze and more calmness.

[Warning: Hashirama cell invasion in progress (12.3%), estimated loss of control time: 14 days 6 hours 23 minutes 15 seconds!]
Looking at the countdown on the panel, Bai Shi felt an urgent sense of crisis in his heart.
He was well aware of the consequences if the Hashirama cells lost control, so he had to find a way to save himself as soon as possible.
The quickest way to save himself was undoubtedly to expel the Hashirama cells.
However, wi...

After confirming that the test subject was stable, Orochimaru proceeded to carry out his experiment.
First, he picked up a syringe, followed by a test tube. With practiced ease, he drew the transparent solution from the test tube and moved to a nearby life support device.
Finding an appropriate connection on a soft tube, he inserted the syringe and, with a slight pressure of his thumb, began to slowly inject the solution.
The liquid traveled through the tube, reaching the to...

In the darkness.
Bai Shi felt as if he was continuously sinking, as if he had fallen into the depths of the ocean, surrounded by flowing water, making it extremely difficult to breathe.
"Am I going to die again?"
A thought surfaced in his mind.
"Uh, no—"
Suddenly, Bai Shi opened his eyes, only to be met with a faint greenish hue.
Instinctively, he attempted to breathe, but was quickly choked, spitting out a series...
