"Cloning Technology."
The first thing Hyuga Sho did after bringing Orochimaru back to Konoha...
was make him hand over his methods for Cloning Technology.
With memories of two lifetimes, Hyuga Sho understood the value of Cloning Technology all too well.
That whole collection of eyes belonging to Shimura Danzō and Uchiha Obito...
had probably all been cloned by Orochimaru.
If Sharingan could be mass-produced...
they really would be as irritating as flies.
Yakushi Kabuto, Uchiha Saotome, and Shinno crowded around Orochimaru.
With no arms or legs...
Orochimaru, reduced to a human instrument, had been placed in a chair by Hyuga Sho.
His purpose now was to provide those three with material for academic research and whatever other value they could extract from him.
Only once they were done using him...

Of course...
Orochimaru might already have the ability to regenerate his limbs himself.
Earlier, before his chakra ran out, Orochimaru had been able to use the "Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Jutsu."
But the Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Jutsu was probably also a Ninjutsu that required "advance preparation."

Later on...
Hyuga Sho had waited until Orochimaru ran out of chakra before blasting him into a cripple.

Hyuga Sho was not sure whether Orochimaru could regenerate.
So...
he had to find someone to watch him.

Yakushi Kabuto nodded.
"Heh heh..."
Shinno gave a dispirited laugh, his face brimming with negativity.
"Orochimaru, oh, Orochimaru... never thought you'd see this day, did you?"
"Heh heh..."
Orochimaru remained motionless, his expression dark.
"All right, Orochimaru, hurry up and teach this old man your Cloning
