"That's a pretty good ability!"
The original body, located in the Northern Lands, carefully experienced this newly acquired ability.
While the Eight Inner Gates Seal offers some protection against Genjutsu, it's not foolproof. It struggled against Itachi's Tsukuyomi earlier.
Moreover, the wind-up time is long, which is barely enough for now, but it probably wouldn't be enough against ninjutsu of the level of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami or Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"With these eyes, I can say that I will no longer be afraid of any Genjutsu!"
Orochimaru was quite satisfied with these eyes; on the other hand, he could also test Itachi's skills a little.
This way, Uchiha Sasuke will have a standard to measure his future success; otherwise, his brother will really suffer by releasing him into the sea.
As he was carefully examining his own eyes, a Shadow Guard pushed open the door and entered.
"Sir! The surgery is ready!"
The newcomer knelt respectfully on one knee outside the door. Upon hearing this, Orochimaru stretched and stood up from his chair.
"Sigh... if I don't move around more, my bones will rust!"
Orochimaru did not linger and quickly arrived at the Northern Land Hospital.
They went straight to a ward, where many doctors in white coats had already gathered.
There was only one bed in the ward, and a patient was already lying on it.
Upon seeing Orochimaru approach, he quickly and respectfully greeted him.
"Hmm! How's the situation?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than an elderly doctor handed him a medical report.
"The patient's condition is currently under control, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner!"
As Orochimaru flipped through the densely packed data in the document, his expression turned serious.
After a while, Orochimaru looked up at the white-haired boy on the hospital bed, whose body was covered with various test tubes.
"Kimimaro, how are you feeling?"
Orochimaru approached the bedside and asked in a gentle tone, his gaze unusually showing concern.
The Kimimaro suffered from a bloodline disease.
Ever since Orochimaru asked him to bring Jūgo back, Orochimaru has been arranging surgery for him.
After so many years of research, plus the data he recently acquired, Orochimaru is now 80% confident in performing this surgery.
Without a systematic drug formula, this is truly a real test of Orochimaru's abilities.
However, with so much data as a foundation, he had already developed a mature surgical plan.
"Sir! I'm alright, thank you for your help!"
Despite his pale face Kimimaro showed no fear and remained as polite and humble as ever.
Looking into his clear eyes, Orochimaru gently touched his face.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine with me here!"
She gave him a gentle smile to reassure him.
These weren't just empty words of comfort that ordinary doctors often use; Orochimaru truly had the confidence to say them.
He had prepared for the worst; even if the surgery failed Kimimaro could be revived.
The reason he was asked to bring Kimimaro back earlier was to synthesize the Earth Curse Mark as soon as possible. Orochimaru had already passed on the Curse Mark technique he had researched in the original timeline to him.
In addition to some White Zetsu Cells he collected a few years ago, after so many years of cultivation, there are enough for use.
It can be said that if the surgery fails, Orochimaru can revive him through the ninjas who have been given the Curse Mark by Kimimaro.
As long as the Curse Mark exists, he cannot die completely.
This was originally Orochimaru's exclusive buff, but it works the same when passed on to others.
If Uchiha Madara knew this move, why would he need to go to such great lengths to scheme against this person and that person?
So it's Uncle Snake has the core technology!
After chatting with Kimimaro for a while, Orochimaru gave him an encouraging look and then waved his hand.
The staff behind him quickly stepped forward to connect various instruments to the tubes on Kimimaro's body.
A test tube was also inserted into Kimimaro's mouth, and Orochimaru took the opportunity to change into a white lab coat and come over.
"Inject the Formula 1 first, and carefully observe the reaction!"
Orochimaru ordered the staff to begin the surgery, and under his direction, the procedure proceeded slowly.
A short while later, a low groan was heard in the ward, followed by a heart-wrenching wail.
It is impossible to completely eliminate this kind of genetic surgery.
Just like everyone has cancer cells in their body, under normal circumstances these cancer cells are benign and will not erupt unless they reach a certain level.
Orochimaru's current task is to suppress the side effects of Shikotsumyaku in Kimimaro's body to the minimum. Even if he can't eliminate them, they generally won't have any impact.
The Formula 1 he mentioned was the Uzumaki Clan cell potion he synthesized, and there was an even stronger one, the No. 3 Hashirama Cells potion.
The Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku) is a bloodline of destruction, which erodes life force, while the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan have bloodlines with extremely strong vitality.
The two are mutually generating and restraining, and with each other waxing and waning, they can cancel each other out to a certain extent.
Such a comparison is obvious to anyone with eyes to see, Orochimaru, who possesses memories of two lifetimes, certainly couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
His research over the years has been aimed at finding a balance between the two. He developed the potion two years ago, so the reason he has been taking good care of Kimimaro for the past two years is for today.
"It must be very painful!"
The staff in the ward were choking; just watching this scene was enough to send chills down their spines.
This was the first time they had ever witnessed such a surgery, and seeing Orochimaru's cold and stern face, the staff members felt a chill run down their spines.
People usually request anesthesia for regular surgeries, let alone major surgeries like this.
However, even if we wanted to use anesthesia, we couldn't perform surgery that involved genetics.
Kimimaro's limbs were firmly bound to the hospital bed, and he was wailing in pain.
The person who started all of this remained as indifferent as a cold stone.
"Inject Formula 3 simultaneously!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru placed a hand on Kimimaro's chest.
The Formula 2 is a Hashirama Cells agent, while the third agent is a Hyuga Clan cell agent.
The former was to provide Kimimaro with stronger vitality, while the latter was to improve his genes.
The medicine slowly flowed into Kimimaro's body through two test tubes. Kimimaro had already fainted, but he was awakened by pain the next moment.
Perhaps the Hashirama Cells serum was too potent, because as soon as it entered Kimimaro's body, Kimimaro's arm turned into a tree.
Orochimaru quickly absorbed the Hashirama Cells energy from Kimimaro's body. His entire body was made of Hashirama Cells, making him a professional opponent in this kind of situation.
Thus, Kimimaro's arm repeatedly turned into a tree, only to be restored by Orochimaru time and time again.
It is unknown how much time passed before the Hashirama Cells and Shikotsumyaku within Kimimaro's body reached a balance.
"It should be about time, right?"
Seeing that the electrocardiogram had stabilized, Orochimaru finally breathed a sigh of relief!
