5 Moving forward
After Seven days of research in the dream dimension, Ryuma found out some shocking truths. First, he found out how the cell in the Naruto verse was a little different in comparison to the cells people have in his previous life. Secondly, he had already seen both simple cells and his own cells with chakra in it. So seeing Hashirama's cells clearly tells what's difference was in it.
After researching Hashirama Cells Ryuma found out that all of the cells were way to activate which means that even the slightest cut on Hashirama would heal instantly and in a way, this was both bad and good.
It was good because Hashirama lived in the warring States period and during that time he had to fight almost every day which means that by having this insane regeneration he got the upper hand.
But because his cells divide so many times also means his cells would have reached the limit of division which may be the cause of Hashirama's death. Even though his cells were in the hyperactive state his body would have stopped doing further more cells division.
Another thing he found out was about the Kekkei Genkai. After comparing his cells and Hashirama Cells he found out that the people with Kekkei Genkai are born with the respective affinities that comprise that said Kekkei Genkai.
The chakra in his cell only had lightning and yin affinities with lightning affinity being the dominant one which shows that his natural affinity was lightning and he got yin affinity later on due to his sharingan awakening.
However, in Hashirama Cells the dominant affinity was a mixture of water, earth, and yang affinities alongside the presence of wind, fire, lightning, and yin too.
Seeing the presence of yang affinity alongside water and earth also gives the answer to why no other person was naturally able to get wood released except Hashirama after all who would have this strong yang affinity if not for the reincarnation of Asura?
It also gave Ryuma the breakthrough that Kekkei Genkai might be the mixture of chakra nature that become dominant in the cells of said person. So if he was able to make some other mixture of affinities as dominant in his cells then he might get a Kekkei Genkai.
Before the time limit is reached Ryuma started modifying his body so that he can use the power of his eyes on his body and make the changes permanent in real life too.
First, he made his Uchiha bloodline pure by increasing the gene factors from his mother's side who was a pure-blooded Uchiha. He checked the changes and found out that his yin affinity already became a dominant one.
Seeing this Ryuma finally guessed why half-blooded Uchiha have sharingan that took heavy chakra on usage. Maybe it was because they did not have a yin affinity until he awakened whereas the pure-blooded Uchiha just like Senju's have a yin affinity and it was also why most of them weren't able to awaken sharingan in the first place.
After checking a little bit more of the changes that had happened Ryuma finally moved to the next step. He picked up some of his cells and some of Hashirama's and with the authority of his dimension merged them. In front of him, many attempts happened and he failed all of them.
In most of them, either Hashirama's cells overpowered his cells and took over as a whole or both got destroyed. He wasn't able to get a cell that has all features of his cells with the addition of Hashirama's too.
After a couple more tries he was finally able to merge his cells with Hashirama cells which resulted in a cell that was very hyperactive and contained all of the dormant affinities of both cells. He used his authority and replaced all of his cells with this 'new cell' that he got after merging down to the basic level. So that the cell that will grow in the future will also be this 'new cell'.
Looking at the handmade Hashirama cell which didn't get used right now but maybe become beneficial in the future. Ryuma created a cold freezer and after wrapping it up perfectly stored it until future use.
But knowing the gap in time zone an idea came to Ryuma's mind he created a room in his dimension and then slowed down the flow of time by 500 times in that said room and then put the cold freezer inside. Since time can't be stopped he had to use this method.
After completing the first step of his modification Ryuma started the second part. In his previous life, he saw many people with similar muscle structures but with huge differences in strength. After research, he found out the reason behind this was the difference in muscle density. The denser muscles one has the more innate strength one got.
Thus in the second part of the modification, Ryuma increased his muscle density to the limit that his new body can allow.
After all, most human bodies have perfect muscle density or superior cells and far lower muscle density. Only a few have superior cells and high muscle density to match that. Because his cells were far superior now he had far lower muscle density in comparison.
So he decided to increase it till it reached the maximum limit.
After increasing his muscle density which increased up to 15 times his original density, Ryuma got shocked. He controlled himself and moved to the next steps because he knew it was not the time to get shocked; he had to do a few more adjustments before time runs out.
Now that Ryuma had completed most of his modifications he did the last few things which were not that necessary but maybe it was just his desire to do this.
Ryuma increased the number of his cell's division to the maximum any human was able to have in Naruto verse which was almost thrice the amount he had earlier. Because the number of cell divisions one person had doesn't depend on genes so it simply means that he wasn't contradicting anything thus he was within the limits of reality.
Similarly, adding the finishing touch he elongated his Excalibur to the maximum length a human can have in Naruto verse which was close to 9 Inches in its all-out form.
After seeing that he had already done everything he needed to do, Ryuma used his ability, and in an instant, he was not in dream dimensions anymore but instead, he was in a deep sleep.

( On the 5th day after the Uchiha incident )
As Ryuma opened his eyes he found himself on the bed of the hospital room. The room was covered in all white with tile, bedsheets, curtains, pillows, etc being all white. As Ryuma tried to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom to see if he got any visible changes he stepped on the floor and found something different. looking at the floor he was shocked to find out that the pressure from his foot caused the crack on the flooring. When he tried to stand up he called instead, causing another crack even though he was controlling his strength immensely.
3 hrs later Ryuma finally started walking properly but looking at all the little and some huge cracks he had caused a sigh escaped his mouth. He was already covered in sweat so he decided to repair the ruckus he caused and then get a shower.
"Looks like now I have to focus on how to use my body strength properly" Repairing the tile Ryuma talked to himself.
After completing the repairing of tiles with the help of E rank earth release that he learned in the academy and getting his final check-up before leaving the hospital Ryuma finally came to his new home.
He was already informed by a genin team about his house being shifted after he woke up.
What surprised Ryuma was the calendar and all the things arranged in the house. After looking at the calendar he realized that he slept for 5 days straight or basically it took his body 5 days to go through all the changes.
It was a good fact that he already got this information now that if he ever tried this ability on other things he would already know of the time taken by things to undergo the changes.
Talking about the ability he walked towards his room and looked at a full-body mirror placed opposite to his bed. He opened sharingan and then with a swift motion his 3 tomoe changed into a 9 tomoe ring-like pattern. With the opening of mangekyou sharingan Ryuma immediately got the information of the cooldown time his right eye ability had.
Due to Ryuma merging his cells and Hashirama cells and then replacing his regular cells with that special merged cell in his whole body down to the base he got a little white than before but it was still within the level of normal white. Because of this Ryuma's cool-down period also got shortened from the initial 10 years to 2 years which even though was very long but in comparison to the initial was good.
Looking at his figure, which has compact muscles all over his body, Ryuma felt quite good. Due to his face being way above average, he didn't care much about it and that was the same case with his past life too. But what he cared most about was the things hanging down between his legs which, even though not reached his full potential yet still looks magnificent.
After admiring himself for a minute in the mirror he walked towards the 3 cardboards placed on the corner of the hall room. Ryuma opened the box one by one, all of them containing the ninja equipment and scrolls his father and mother had saved for him. It also had the bank passbook which earlier belonged to his whole family but now belonged to only him…
Looking at the 2 chakra papers placed carefully on the side of the box Ryuma immediately got reminded of the day he first used them with the help of his father. Without him knowing his eyes became wet and tears started to flow down.
———
Yuno got the news from his mother about Ryuma's discharge from the hospital. After getting the new address of his home Yuno took the food his mom made for dinner and told her that he was gonna stay at Ryuma's home.
Even though Yuno doesn't know much about what Ryuma Was going through, after all, unlike Ryuma he didn't lack anything in his life. But he knew as his childhood friend it was his responsibility to be there for Ryuma at the time he felt alone. He didn't know the way to recover Ryuma from his trauma but he could at least stay alongside him until he found the way.
Yuno reached Ryuma's new home which was now shifted to the homes situated near market areas. Looking at the time which was already showing 8:30 at night Yuno rang the doorbell. After 3 and 4 tries no one responded so Yuno checked if the door was locked or not and strangely the door was unlocked.
As Yuno entered the apartment he saw pitch blackness because of lights being off. The moment he entered the hall room after putting his shoes on in the lobby he saw Ryuma sleeping on the ground. He was crouched in the shape of a ball with his one hand holding a photo frame.
Yuno didn't know why but he felt a little pain seeing Ryuma. Yuno silently moved towards the lobby and after reaching the lobby gave a loud shout.
" Ryu are you there??
Where are you with your door kept open?
Are you doing some pervy things?
..ha..ha..ha…. I am coming in, you better cover yourself up".
.
Hearing Yuno's loud sound Ryuma instantly woke up he immediately put his family photo frame inside the box and moved towards the lobby to respond.
*******
( 2 years time skip )
Looking at the time that flew away in an instant, Ryuma started his preparation for today's team formation. In the last 2 years, Ryuma recovered a lot from trauma. He was finally able to put away the guilt of being the responsible one. Even though Ryuma knew internally, he wasn't able to stop making himself guilty. But now because of Yuno's help and his family's support, I was finally able to recover completely.
I passed the graduation exam with flying colors scoring the first position in the whole boy group but second in the whole class. Even though I beat Yuno down, it was all due to my scoring very high scores in written exams.
During the final exam duel, he found out just what kind of beast Yuno was. It took me my whole strength and speed to just make the duel tie. It's a huge fact because after modifying his body his strength was far beyond normal. It took him only one punch to shatter boulders and Yuno was able to take those which were simply mind-defying.
Looking at his class he found out that no matter what two people in his class were simply just too amazing except him, one of them was none other than Yuno and the girl who took first place this year, Hana Sarutobi. So why the hell did they don't get introduced in the story? Ryuma also heard that Hana was one of the few sarutobi that awakened their bloodline ability though he didn't know what that was.
Putting his thoughts on the back of his mind he entered his classroom where many students were already present. All of the students were wearing their headbands in different places according to their preferences. Ryuma wore his headband on his left shoulder and Yuno, who was already present in the classroom looking out of the window, wore his headband on his forehead.
Ryuma took the seat beside Yuno and gave him a morning greeting,
"Yo, how's your graduation party last line ?"
Yuno looked at me and with a grumpy face said," Don't speak with me, you bastard. Did you forget that you broke your promise? If not for you scoring full marks in writing I would have got first I'm boys division and would have finally confessed to Hana-chan".
Looking at Your dumb action a laugh escaped from Ryuma's mouth.
Seeing Ryuma laughing, the grumpy face of Yuno twitched, "You bastard instead of helping me get my wife, you are laughing? Now, it becomes clear you didn't want me and Hana to become one didn't you ?"
Ryuma, seeing Yuno getting more and more grumpy instantly goes into safety mode and says, "How can that be Yuno you are like my brother, and about written exams it just happened. I forgot about you at that time seeing so many easy questions"
" Ohhhh so that's why you finished your exam within 30 minutes and didn't look at me even once during the whole exam. You bastard, I knew what you were planning at that time. Do you know how betrayed I felt?" Yuno replied.
Sensing himself surrounded by undeniable facts Ryuma finally instantly took the best way he could think of,
" Hey, Yuno, I think Hana looked your way. See!
I think you should have your greetings to Hana for her getting graduated".
" Ryuma don't change topics. I have already greeted Hana and Hana can see me all she wants." Yuno replied with a prideful face.
"My best friend please forgive me this one time I will never do this again. As a punishment, I will bake you your favorite food and one of my best inventions 'pizza' tomorrow.
Let's have a men's time tomorrow". Ryuma replied and bait Yuno with his favorite food.
Yuno was confused between his anger and hunger and gave a reply by finally deciding, "Okay, but this is the last time".
" Yuno, my friend" Ryuma hugged Yuno or you should say crushed him between his arms.
At that time the gate of the classroom opened and their classroom teacher entered alongside 9 jounin ninjas of Konoha.
