"It's very simple!"

Hashirama's voice rang out as his gaze fell on White Zetsu. He could clearly sense the abundance of Hashirama cells within White Zetsu.

"The little tadpoles are looking for their mother!"

Hashirama's figure suddenly blurred, and he appeared right in front of White Zetsu.

Immediately, Hashirama's right hand transformed into a blade, plunging directly towards White Zetsu's heart.

Squelch!

Hashirama's fingers pierced through a thin membrane, causing blood to flow. His entire right hand thrust into White Zetsu's body, crudely and deeply.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~ Gurgle~

As Hashirama's hand delved in, the Hashirama cells within White Zetsu seemed to recognize their kin, rapidly surging towards Hashirama's hand.

Buzz!

Hashirama's body shuddered slightly, and he felt an incredibly pleasant sensation wash over him.

"Ah~"

White Zetsu let out an ecstatic cry as Hashirama's hand pierced him, and his body began to shrivel visibly, as if subjected to a powerful suction technique.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~ Gurgle~

Hashirama rapidly absorbed the Hashirama cells from White Zetsu.

Moments later.

White Zetsu's body was reduced to a mere husk, dropping lifelessly to the ground.

"Ying Ying Monster, how much of Hashirama's cells have I acquired now?"

Hashirama immediately asked the small fairy fluttering beside him.

"Host!"

"Congratulations!"

"You have gained 1% more Hashirama cells!"

"Your body now contains 27% Hashirama cells!"

The Ying Ying Monster read from its phone, informing Hashirama of the current status.

"I absorbed for so long and only got 1%…"

Hashirama's mouth twitched slightly. He had thought he would gain more than 10%, but it seemed he overestimated White Zetsu.

Actually.

To be precise.

It wasn't that he overestimated White Zetsu.

But rather underestimated the value of Hashirama cells!

The Ying Ying Monster's system calculated the Hashirama cells as a percentage of a complete Hashirama.

White Zetsu had Hashirama cells in significant quantities, which accounted for the 1%.

If it were any other living organism,

Having 1% of Hashirama cells would cause fatal rejection!

"Host!"

"The mission is complete!"

"Would you like to receive the mission reward?"

The Ying Ying Monster asked, its face full of pride, watching the host it had nurtured finally starting to follow the right path.

"Receive it!"

Hashirama remembered that he had only inquired about his level and completed a B-rank mission, but he still didn't know what the reward was.

No more questions!

Consider it a surprise!

Hashirama mentally prepared himself for a simple reward, perhaps a shuriken.

Whoosh!

Suddenly,

The sound of something slicing through the air was heard.

A flash of cold light shot towards Hashirama's head.

Slap!

Hashirama raised his right hand, catching the incoming object effortlessly. He didn't even need to look; the shape was too familiar.

It was a shuriken!

"Ying Ying Monster, maybe you should rename yourself the Shuriken System!"

Hashirama's face darkened. He felt like the Ying Ying Monster was running a shuriken wholesale business!

He had heard of readers sending knives to authors before!

But never of a system throwing shurikens at its host!

It was a learning experience!

For a moment, Hashirama felt like he had discovered a treasure system, one that could relieve the boredom of his invincible journey in the ninja world.

Luckily…

Luckily, he started with a max-level character; otherwise, starting from genin, the shurikens would give him nightmares!

"Host, you completed a B-rank mission, and your reward is gold!"

The Ying Ying Monster explained, its pouty lips indicating displeasure.

"Gold?!"

Hashirama spread open his hand, revealing the golden shuriken, his lips twitching slightly. It seemed the system conveniently left out a few words.

He hadn't expected that there would actually be a golden shuriken!

This system...

It's something else!

"Yes, yes, the system is giving the host money!"

The Ying Ying Monster grinned widely, its adorable face beaming with joy.

"Thank you very much!"

Hashirama smoothly pocketed the golden shuriken.

To be honest...

With the Ying Ying Monster's hint,

He thought of a use for this golden shuriken.

He could give it to his beloved granddaughter, Tsunade!

Perfect!

After deciding on the golden shuriken's use, Hashirama turned his attention back to White Zetsu.

The White Zetsu that could merge with Black Zetsu should be one of the stronger ones from the Gedo Statue.

He wondered how many such White Zetsus there were!

Each one would be worth 1%!

As for the mass-produced White Zetsus, it was unclear how many Hashirama cells each could provide!

The recent battle

gave Hashirama an idea.

"Ying Ying Monster."

"I need to ask you something!"

"If I don't have any of Hashirama Senju's memories and just emerged from the Edo Tensei, does the original Hashirama Senju still exist?"

Hashirama posed a profound question. He didn't know if he had replaced Hashirama Senju's soul or simply occupied the Edo Tensei body.

"I... I don't know!"

The Ying Ying Monster's big, cute eyes widened, the question clearly out of its knowledge range.

"Alright then."

Hashirama immediately abandoned the idea of having Nagato use the Rinne Rebirth to revive him. If things went wrong and the real Hashirama Senju was revived, his own soul might get ejected.

That would make him a wandering ghost!

Thus...

He needed to keep the Rinnegan in his own hands!

These eyes, which could revive him, could also put him in a disadvantageous position.

Hashirama had previously considered having Nagato use Rinne Rebirth to revive him and then placing Nagato's Rinnegan in his own eye sockets.

It would be unbeatable!

However,

The risk was too great!

Since he could gradually reach 100% Hashirama cells and revive perfectly, there was no need to take that risk.

"Ying Ying Monster, let's test a task."

Hashirama's eyes narrowed slightly, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"What task?"

The Ying Ying Monster immediately pulled out its phone, eyes gleaming with excitement. It loved seeing the host take on challenges.

"Defeat the Six Paths of Pain!"

Hashirama chose a solo mission, intending to test the system's task grading.

"B-rank!"

The Ying Ying Monster checked the task and responded.

"Defeat the Six Paths of Pain and Nagato!"

Hashirama added Pain's true body, Nagato, to the task.

"A-rank!"

The Ying Ying Monster quickly input the task and provided the result.

"Defeat the Six Paths of Pain and Nagato, and seize Nagato's Rinnegan!"

Hashirama gradually understood the system's task mechanics: the difficulty level increased with additional complexities.
