Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

```

Time flies like an arrow, fleeting in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, six months had hurriedly passed.

Inside the secret laboratory of the Danzo's residence, the ninja researchers had already, according to the cloning technology data Danzo provided them, modified and created experimental vessels for cultivating clones and had successfully nurtured clones of Haruno Sakura and her companions, infusing them with Hashirama Cells to maximize experimental efficiency.

This mode of research was far from a normal experimental process, without control groups, without experimental variables, doing whatever came to mind.

But it wasn't the researchers' fault.

After all, they were racing against time, needing to produce results in an extremely short period. They had to run multiple experiments at once and attain a variety of results.

If an experiment went wrong, they would promptly root out the issue and start a new round, adopting an exhaustive method.

Under normal circumstances, they might have experimented for more than a dozen years without success, yet as if fate were on their side, they truly succeeded in cultivating clones of Haruno Sakura and others, perfectly integrating them with the Hashirama Cells.

Of course, there were aspects that baffled them, such as the clones' white hair and their different appearances from Haruno Sakura and the others, as if they all shared the same face.

It seemed as though the Hashirama Cells' overpowering strength caused them all to bear a resemblance to the First Hokage, with the males looking almost exactly like him, while the females appeared softer and more rounded.

As the researchers celebrated the successful creation of the clones, Sakura had also gathered a wealth of data and sensed the magic of the Hashirama Cells.

"Master, the First Hokage's cells possess an extremely strong life force; as long as there is enough energy, they can continuously replicate, but they are highly invasive and can assimilate the cells of others," Haruno Sakura exclaimed. "Could he have also altered the will within the Chakra seeds to his own?"

"He succeeded to an extent, for he generally does not need to use hand seals when casting Ninjutsu," said Sun Wukong indifferently. "After all, he is a transmigrant of Asura's Chakra."

Sakura nodded thoughtfully and then asked another question, "Since the First Hokage's cells have such vitality, how did he die? The history books say he was very young at his death, it's unlikely he died of illness."

"Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara are the transmigrants of Asura and Indra. Could it be that if one dies, the other will also meet death?"

Sun Wukong replied, "There's a connection."

"The transmigration of Chakra?" murmured Haruno Sakura, feeling the need to thoroughly research Naruto.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Sasuke...

In his free time, he remained within the Uchiha clan grounds, receiving instruction from his father, and Haruno Sakura didn't have much time to interact with him.

While her spiritual power, bolstered by the collective consciousness of the fungal brain, could cover the entirety of Konoha, it was not yet capable of penetrating the Chakra of others.

At the same time. T*h!is^ c.h!ap@ter was or.igi!na!lly p!ost@ed on M.^V&LE+M.P^Y!R@.+

Upon learning of his ninja researchers' success and sensing the enormous Chakra spontaneously generated within the clones, Danzo was overjoyed.

"It's astonishing! This Chakra!"

He had never sensed such an immense and pure Chakra so closely before.

"When will they awaken?" Danzo was somewhat impatient. Once the clones were awakened, they could be nurtured under his care to become the strongest tools.

Just wait for that bastard Sarutobi Hiruzen to step down. As the Root of Konoha, his past merits would not be forgotten. With fence-sitters like Tenshin Komatsu and Mito Menyan, he was sure to receive their support.

Only he could bring them benefits by taking charge.

The fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen had stripped him of all his rights had also alarmed the other two, fearing their own power might be revoked. They had already sought Danzo out.

"Sarutobi, you've brought this upon yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless," whispered Danzo as he caressed the transparent cultivation vessel, his unveiled left eye gazing at the female bodies inside, "However, as a former comrade, although you've forgotten our friendship, I'm not as heartless as you."

"Hiruzen, I will grant you a dignified end."

Day after day, year after year.

Haruno Sakura and others had reached the age of graduation, twelve years old.

The subject for the graduation exam was the Cloning Skill.

Everyone passed, and Iruka presented the students with their ninja headbands.

"From today onward, you are real ninjas," Iruka proclaimed.

His eyes brimming with satisfaction, Iruka looked at Naruto, who stood at about one meter seventy-five, then glanced at Sakura, who was close to one meter eighty, and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He was still not used to the sight, twelve-year-olds with the stature of adult ninjas, especially Sakura who was now taller than him.

"Thank you, Teacher Iruka!"

The students thanked him one after another, and Iruka was also very pleased.

Sakura suggested, "Since we've graduated and we'll be split into classes tomorrow, let's all go out for dinner tonight."

"Hooray!"

"That's awesome!"

"Dinner party! Dinner party!"

"Teacher Iruka is treating us!"

Nobody knew who shouted it first, but eventually everyone was calling for Iruka to treat them. Iruka agreed with a smile and took all the students to the largest barbecue restaurant in the village.

After an evening had passed, Iruka looked at his shriveled wallet with mixed feelings.

How could they eat so much?

Especially Choji, that guy simply had no clue what being polite meant.

Naruto and Sakura came up to Iruka, one on either side, supporting the slightly tipsy teacher, and said, "Teacher Iruka, shall we help you home?"

Iruka waved them off, "No need, I didn't drink much, don't need support."

However, he couldn't be stubborn with the two of them and ended up being accompanied home by both.

Iruka lived in a house close to the Ninja Academy, small but with a little courtyard, though it felt quite cold and desolate.

"Teacher Iruka, do you live alone?" Naruto curiously asked. "I see other adults your age are all married."

Iruka fell silent for a while, wanting to cry without tears, "That's a sad story."

He didn't know how to fall in love!

Once, he had liked a girl from his own three-person team, but because he was somewhat dull, another teammate got there first.

He had no choice but to wish them well.

Then, the two of them sacrificed themselves during the Nine-Tails' attack.

Now he had moved on, but he still didn't know how to approach girls, so he just had to fend for himself.

"Naruto, Sakura, I'm home now. You two should head back as well. Be on time for class tomorrow. Your Jonin will come to lead you. Usually, Jonin will conduct a test for the graduated ninjas. If you fail, you'll be sent back to the academy," remarked Iruka, after explaining the situation and then smiling. "But with your strength, you should be able to pass quite easily."

Considering the strength of Naruto and Sakura, even the Hokage might find it difficult to beat them.
