Orochimaru's hand paused slightly, and the blood in the syringe stopped being drawn.
He raised his head, and his golden snake eyes turned to Menma's Shadow Clone with great interest, as if he had discovered a new treasure.
Kimimaro was lying on the cold metal platform. Hearing the words about the origin of his bloodline, his long eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly, and his breath seemed to be held for a moment.
"But this power is a curse, not a gift to their fragile human vessels." Shadow Clone's voice continued to flow,
Echoing through the cold laboratory walls.
"It's like a fragile clay pot that was forcefully filled with volcanic lava that could erupt and destroy it. The container was overwhelmed, and Yang Release's power was excessive and unbalanced, eroding and burning the origin of their lives all the time."
"This is the root cause of Kekkei Genkai Disease. It is not a disease, but a mismatch between the container and its contents. It is the backlash of the power itself on the bearer."
Orochimaru's tongue subconsciously licked his thin lips, his eyes flashing with crazy excitement.
He completely understood what the other party meant, and this subversive viewpoint instantly ignited countless new ideas and experimental directions in the depths of his mind.
"So balance?" he asked hissingly, with a hint of imperceptible urgency in his voice.
"The reason why you transplant Hyuga's Byakugan into this kid is not simply to allow him to gain his insight or to conduct Byakugan transplantation experiments, but...
"It's suppression, but it's also reconciliation." Shadow Clone took over his words, and the mask turned slightly in the direction of Orochimaru.
"Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan is the crystallization of the pure power of Yin Release, representing insight, spirit and subtle control of chakra."
"The power of Yin Release penetrates into the blood, not to replace Yang Release, but to form a dynamic balance under high pressure. The powerful Yin Release Chakra,
It can temporarily suppress the excessive and violent Yang Release, alleviate the impact of bloodline awakening on the body, and delay the onset and deterioration of Kekkei Genkai Disease."
"These eyes are the lock to his life and the key to controlling his power."
"Lock-key-" Orochimaru repeated in a low voice, his golden vertical pupils raised, as if he was chewing on this word full of contradictions and power.
He looked at Kimimaro's pale but calm face, looked at the powerful Yin Release power under the closed eyes, and countless new experimental plans surged in his heart.
The young man in front of him was no longer just a precious experimental material in his eyes.
Regarding the limits of blood transplantation, the possibility of Yin-Yang Release fusion, the strength threshold of artificial containers, etc., Orochimaru can't wait to conduct new Kekkei Genkai research experiments.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Orochimaru couldn't help but let out a stomach sigh, his voice full of enlightenment about understanding the nature of power and a fanatical yearning for the unknown realm.
"Considering bloodline atavism as the root cause, and using the power of opposing attributes to forcefully reconcile it - Your Excellency Asura, your idea really opened a new door for me."
The way he looked at Shadow Clone, in addition to the inherent fear and calculation, there was an additional layer of recognition and appreciation for pure "knowledge".
At this moment, the indicator light on the heavy airtight alloy door of the laboratory changed from red to green, and accompanied by a low sound of hydraulic pressure relief, the door slid open to both sides silently.
A figure appeared at the intersection of light and shadow at the door.
He wore a white high-collared robe with a simple and neat style, and there was an indescribable gloominess about him.
Her gray-white long hair was scattered messily, covering part of her face. The exposed skin was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Her red eyes looked at Asura's Shadow Clone with deep fear.
He stood there, his back slightly hunched, his hands hanging unnaturally by his sides, and his whole person exuded a sense of decadence that he had been completely defeated and had lost all will to resist.
It was Hiruko who tried to sneak attack Uchiha Hikari at Star City before, but was dragged into Tsukuyomi World and tortured by Mangekyō Sharingan with just one look. In the end, his mental defense completely collapsed, and he has now completely surrendered.
The admiration and excitement on Orochimaru's face solidified instantly.
His narrow golden snake eyes shrank into a thin line the moment he saw the figure at the door clearly!
An extremely rare emotion called shock appeared on Orochimaru's face.
Of course he knows this person!
Although the current Hiruko is described as dry and depressed, completely different from the paranoid, crazy and ambitious image in his memory,
But that unique chaotic chakra aura produced by the fusion of multiple Kekkei Genkai, Orochimaru will never admit it!
After all, they are classmates, and it was Sannin who hunted down Hiruko back then.
"Hiruko--." Orochimaru's voice was incredibly hoarse.
He turned his head and stared at Asura Shadow Clone, who was standing quietly aside. Inquiry, surprise, and a hint of vigilance that touched his sensitive nerves instantly filled his golden eyes.
He knows very well what Hiruko is pursuing.
This crazy guy used Konoha Ninja to do that kind of fusion experiment, which violated the bottom line of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
When the three of them found Hiruko's secret laboratory and saw those scenes, Orochimaru was also shocked.
However, as Orochimaru's pursuit of eternal life increased, he began to gradually understand Hiruko.
Shadow Clone of Menma turned a blind eye to Hiruko at the door.
He didn't even turn his head. The mask always faced the direction of the operating table, as if it was just a cold furnishing in the laboratory.
Only that low and steady voice answered or ignored Orochimaru's shock:
"He will be responsible for assisting you in the future research on biological tissue fusion and chakra attribute compatibility. His "Chimera Technique" information has been archived in Archive No. 7."
Asura's Shadow Clone's voice was calm and calm, as if he was arranging an ordinary work handover.
Hiruko moved a step forward and walked into the pale light.
His eyes scanned everything in the laboratory blankly.
The cold instruments, the flashing data screen, Kimimaro lying on the operating table, and finally the familiar but unfamiliar face of Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru? Long time no see. I didn't expect you to look like this." Hiruko looked up and down at Orochimaru playfully, and was keenly aware that Orochimaru's current body was a female body.
Then Hiruko lowered his head slightly, faced the direction of Shadow Clone, and said respectfully, "Yes, sir."
This "Sir" was like a cold hammer, hitting Orochimaru's heart hard.
As an S-class rebellious ninja from Konoha before Orochimaru, Elite Jonin was able to escape from Konoha when they were being chased by Sannin. Hiruko, who was very self-sufficient, was actually conquered by Asura.
Orochimaru stared at Hiruko who was completely surrendered, and then looked at Asura Shadow Clone who was standing quietly aside, exuding invisible Coercion.
He hid the eager greed in his heart even deeper.
