Chapter 5: The Greatest Potential in the Ninja World
Shun was taken by Orochimaru for a month.
However, what he never expected was that during this month, none of the cruel experiments he imagined took place. Instead, his food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were all well-arranged.
During this period, his meals were luxurious, with nutritious food and some secret nourishing medicines.
Not to mention his sleep, which was strictly regulated, and after being injected with certain drugs, he felt refreshed every time he woke up.
The amount of daily training was carefully divided, chakra refinement was not allowed, and various blood tests were conducted every day.
In just one month, Shun changed from looking like a thin orphan to being incredibly healthy. It seemed that his entire being had become soft and full, both physically and mentally.
Shun appeared helpless as a third of the time passed, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, Orochimaru did not know he had a cheat ability, and Shun did not dare to reveal it, so he could only let the other party carefully develop his experimental product.
Fortunately, this nurturing period finally ended after the next five days.
When Shun woke up and did not see the nutritious food, he understood that the day of the experiment had finally arrived!
Wearing a white hospital gown, Shun was sent to the operating table. The bright lamp made it difficult for him to open his eyes, and the faint scent of disinfectant and the sharp smell of alcohol filled the air.
"To be honest, you are the most promising orphan test subject with the best physique I have encountered so far."
At some point, Orochimaru walked indifferently to the operating table, holding a syringe filled with a solution.
"Perhaps you really can succeed."
"As I promised you, I will grant you the name of Sannin Orochimaru's disciple when the time comes."
As he spoke, Orochimaru had already injected the medicinal solution into Shun's body.
"Do your best, kid."
"If you die, there will be nothing left…"
As his consciousness gradually blurred, Shun seemed to hear a hint of sadness.
Before he could confirm it, darkness slowly surged like a tide, swallowing him instantly.

Three days later
Seeing Shun successfully unleash a wood clone, Orochimaru's eyes couldn't hide their intoxicated expression.
At that moment, he looked like an artist who had discovered the most beautiful masterpiece in the world. At that moment, in his eyes, Shun was no longer human but something truly extraordinary.
And Shun, who was being observed, did not care about his gaze because he too was immersed in this newfound power.
Now, every cell in his body, full of vitality, embodied the existence of a sage's body.
Every time he refined chakra, this constant flow of vitality made him unable to hold back a smile.
The deepest impression for anyone who had watched Naruto was usually the Mangekyo Sharingan or Rinnegan, the Kyuubi Chakra Mode, or Might Guy's shocking kick.
But as someone who had read Naruto fanfiction for years, Shun had seen powerful characters showcased one by one countless times and had managed to see the essence behind these phenomena!
Ask a question!
How could Yamato control a Bijuu?
Yamato: Don't ask, I have Hashirama's cells…
Then why wasn't Obito with the Mangekyo Sharingan blind?
Obito: Don't ask, I have Hashirama's cells…
How could Orochimaru restrain Tobirama?
Orochimaru: Don't ask, I have Hashirama's cells!
Could Danzo support so many Sharingan?
Danzo: Don't ask, I have Hashirama's cells!
Why did White Zetsu suddenly become so powerful?
White Zetsu: Because I got Hashirama's cells!
Hashirama: Madara, look at these shameless people, how cunning they are!
Madara silently looked at his chest, then remembered how he awakened the Rinnegan, and blushed slightly without saying a word.
Looking at the entire Naruto story, these Hashirama cells had a vitality of their own, not only possessing Wood Release but also bringing many beneficial effects. Without a doubt, they were the best cells in the world!
"It seems you have successfully integrated Hashirama's cells."
Orochimaru calmed his expression. This time, his gaze at Shun finally shifted from 'experiment' to 'human.'
"As I said before, I will accept you as my disciple. At the same time, you will also be my assistant to help research Hashirama's cell compatibility."
In Orochimaru's view, with Shun as an example of miraculously compatible Hashirama cells, in the future, as long as he could clearly study what was special about the other's constitution, he would be able to easily transplant Hashirama cells.
On one hand, Shun's current sage body, comparable to Senju Hashirama when he was eight or nine, would certainly change with age.
On the other hand, Orochimaru was very fond of Shun's potential.
This child had a terrifying conviction to become stronger, a sharp mind, and potential comparable to Senju Hashirama at eight or nine years old.
Wait ten years… No, maybe just five or six years, and Orochimaru would be able to create a new Ninja God for Konoha!
At least before being deceived by the Third Hokage into becoming a rogue ninja, one of Orochimaru's life goals was always to become Hokage, and his heart was still set on Konoha Village.
"I will arrange an identity for you as a member of the Senju Clan, and you will enter the ninja academy as Orochimaru's disciple, an orphan of the Senju Clan who has awakened your Kekkei Genkai."
Orochimaru looked at Shun and asked seriously as if instructing:
"Besides, do you have any other needs?"
"I have one more request. I want to transplant a pair of Sharingan."
Shun made the request to Orochimaru without any courtesy, speaking in a bewitching whisper like a devil:
"Sensei, don't you want to try it? Perhaps my body is also compatible with Sharingan?"
"Create with your own hands a disciple who possesses the full potential of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. What changes will he bring to Konoha and even the entire ninja world?"
As a ninja scientist and experimental maniac, after hearing Shun's words, Orochimaru was moved without hesitation!
❀❀❀
The next day, Orochimaru once again led an experiment that changed perceptions.
When he saw Shun easily open and close the Sharingan, for the first time, Orochimaru felt a slight fear of the unknown.
Was he really capable of guiding this eight- or nine-year-old boy?
