The New Body Being Gestated

"Okay! That should work!"

After writing the last word, Hinata closed the notebook, stood up, and tiptoed to place it on the bookshelf next to her.

Although the contents of the notebook seemed reasonable, it was just Hinata's wild idea. Before she could prove it with concrete experiments, Hinata dared not try it lightly.

Next, we'll see what Orochimaru's research results are.

Once Orochimaru's research on Urashiki yields results, Hinata can refine her training steps based on Orochimaru's experimental report.

"Ugh—"

Stretching, Hinata lazily slumped onto the table, staring blankly at the side.

Patience is something Hinata is never good at, especially when it comes to matters of lifelong importance. Hinata is always impatient and gets restless if she is quiet for even a short while.

Staying at home is comfortable, but there are no games, anime, or TV shows to watch in the Ninja World, and the novels sold on the market are even worse than "Icha Icha Paradise".

After staring blankly for more than an hour, Hinata sighed and pulled out a scroll containing her Ninjutsu insights from the bookshelf, then began to read it.

You should focus on your studies!

An underground base somewhere in the Land of Birds.

Orochimaru fiddled with the instruments in the laboratory while keeping his eyes glued to Urashiki on the experimental table, his eyes filled with excitement.

That's wonderful.

Orochimaru had conducted human experiments for nearly twenty years and had never encountered a corpse like this before.

Without a doubt, Urashiki is dead.

But from a certain perspective, Urashiki is actually still alive.

Urashiki's body cells are even more active than those of a living person, and even Hashirama Cells are somewhat inferior to Urashiki Cells.

Orochimaru had never seen Hashirama Senju's body; the Hashirama Cells he possessed were given to him by Danzo.

After all, when Hashirama Senju died, his younger brother Tobirama Senju was still alive. Even if Tobirama Senju wanted to study his older brother's body, he would only preserve a portion of Hashirama Senju's cells before burying his Hashirama Senju.

Urashiki's current condition is more like brain death. His body contains enormous vitality, and his spiritual energy still exists within him, but it is like a stagnant pool.

"Is this the secret that Hinata Hyuga?"

Orochimaru unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

Through his initial research on Urashiki, combined with his years of research on Hashirama Cells, Orochimaru has gained a general understanding of the secrets hidden within Hinata's body.

That was the massive accumulation of life force that caused a qualitative change in the body's cells, fundamentally evolving the human body.

Cellular energy is extracted from the cells throughout the human body, while so-called mental energy actually refers to the energy generated by brain fluctuations, which is similar to 'signals' or 'waves'.

It is precisely because of the unique nature of spiritual energy that the Sage of Six Paths believed that humans could deepen their understanding and recognition of each other through Chakra.

Even the development of many Ninjutsu is based on the special 'signal' of spiritual energy, which is why they can produce miraculous effects.

Therefore, as human life evolves, not only does cellular energy become stronger, but the fluctuations of brain cells, that is, mental energy, also become stronger.

This is the fundamental reason why Hinata, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha are so powerful.

Compared to ninjas of Hinata's caliber, ninjas of Orochimaru's caliber are also very strong, but Orochimaru's strength lies in his development and mastery of 'jutsu', while Hinata's strength lies in Hinata herself being very strong.

This is similar to the difference between a low-end computer and a supercomputer.

Running some software on a low-end computer can cause 'lag', which is what is known as forbidden technology.

But supercomputers do not.

Even though Hinata, this supercomputer, hasn't downloaded many software programs or has many functions yet, once Hinata downloads them, they can run easily and extremely quickly.

This is why forbidden techniques that ordinary ninjas use as trump cards can be used as basic attacks in the hands of powerful ninjas.

"This can no longer be called human..."

Looking at the experimental data on the computer, Orochimaru's eyes were somewhat moved.

"If..."

Orochimaru frowned slightly.

If Urashiki were resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation, Orochimaru might learn many secrets and even gain another trump card to use.

However, the side effects of the Impure World Reincarnation made Orochimaru hesitate.

Once someone like Urashiki is fully resurrected, he can easily break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Unless you use Hinata's power!"

Even for Orochimaru, the Impure World Reincarnation technique was a forbidden jutsu, as it carried the risk of backlash.

However, for Hinata, as long as she has enough cards in her hand, Hinata can play them all at once, and the risk is so small that it can be ignored.

"Never mind!"

Orochimaru suddenly chuckled. Some things may still be taboo now, but they may not be in the future.

"Now that the body cells and the eye are all there, it's time... to get the other eye back!"

Orochimaru placed Urashiki's body into a container filled with the potion, cleaned the remaining potion from his hands, and turned to leave the laboratory.

Urashiki's cells will definitely be able to turn that Byakugan back into the Rinnegan.

Although the cloned body will have some imperfections in the eyes, it is barely enough for the time being until a perfect body is created.

Orochimaru peered through the window into a room next to the laboratory.

Karin was immersed in a huge container with her eyes closed.

The perfect body Orochimaru had prepared for himself was now developing within Karin's body. It was a perfect body born from the combined advantages of the Otsutsuki clan and Uzumaki Clan.

It may also become Orochimaru's last body.

'Da da da...'

Footsteps echoed softly in the corridor, and Orochimaru wore a faint smile, clearly in a very good mood.

Stepping out of the secret base, you are greeted by golden sand and azure sea.

Orochimaru stood at the entrance of the base, gazing across the sea in the direction of Kirigakure).

The ordinary Byakugan in Kirigakure will be used as an experimental subject, with Urashiki's cells as a stimulus, in an attempt to induce new changes in the Byakugan.

"Once the key to the evolution of the Byakugan is found... the body that Karin is nurtured within will be truly perfect!"

"Hehehe... The Hyuga Clan actually gave up the Byakugan of Kirigakure for the time being because of so-called international influence."

Outside the seaside base, Orochimaru's snake-like eyes flickered slightly, clearly indicating that he still had some concerns.

The Kirigakure Hyuga Clan does not want to take action against Kirigakure because they do not want to leave Konoha for the time being.

But Orochimaru...

"It seems I'll have to continue refining medicine for the Hyuga Clan before my new body matures!"

Orochimaru's brows relaxed.

It's only a little over ten years; Orochimaru can afford to wait.
