Byakugan, which was still shining just a moment ago, exploded in the next moment. The eyeball is the organ with the highest water content in the human body. The liquid splashed everywhere, and most of it fell on Orochimaru's face.
But his scalpel was still held firmly, without any ripples. He gently cut off the necrotic nerves around the eyeball, then stood up and looked at the instruments next to him.
The instrument that monitors vital signs is very quiet and makes almost no sound. This is the best thing, because it will only scream crazily when a person's life comes to an end.
Although his vital signs were very stable, Hyuga Chio still showed no signs of waking up. According to Orochimaru, his soul and body had been affected to a certain extent, but it was not fatal.
"Orochimaru, can't you use a normal method? Why do you want to call me!"
Hyuga Chio's voice was thin and full of futility, but after Orochimaru's electric shock, he really woke up.
"Brother Chio!" Hinata rushed to the front and wanted to pounce on Hyuga Chio, but was grabbed by Orochimaru.
"His body is still very weak, I suggest you not to do this." Orochimaru said.
"It doesn't matter, Orochimaru, I can't die yet, I haven't reached the time to die yet." Hyuga Chio laughed, his mouth almost reaching to the sky.
But besides talking and grinning, he could hardly do anything. He could only lie on the experimental table and let Orochimaru control him.
"You lost your eyes." Orochimaru said softly, "Do you feel anything?"
"What can you feel? Of course it's pain!" Hyuga Chio curled his lips and spoke a little louder.
"Does it hurt if your eyeball explodes? I don't think it's necessarily Curse Mark that made me faint, but the pain of the eyeball exploding made me faint."
"How about you give me a call and I'll wake up."
"Besides, it feels so bad to have no eyes. The surroundings are pitch black and I can't even see myself--"
There was a hint of regret in Hyuga Chio's voice, but there was still a smile in his voice, "It would be great if I could save Byakugan. You know, I could see very far away and see things behind my head before. Alas, Orochimaru, you are not good enough."
"I have an extra Byakugan here, or do you want to try Sharingan?" Orochimaru was not angry even after being teased, and there was even a hint of smile in his voice.
As he spoke, he opened the cabinet on the side. He had already prepared it. The Byakugan from Kirigakure Jonin was quietly staying in the culture medium. Next to it, there were two Sharingan from Tomoe.
"Can I have them all, one Byakugan and one Sharingan? What do you think?"
"Two different eyes may lead to unknown things. I seem to have never heard of anyone having Sharingan and Byakugan at the same time."
"But if you want to give it a try, I am willing to use you as an experiment." Orochimaru replied.
"Let's try Byakugan first." Hyuga Chio thought for a moment and gave his own answer.
But Orochimaru took out Byakugan from the culture medium, straightened out the nerves on it, and put Byakugan down into Hyuga Chio's eye socket, but suddenly he frowned.
"I felt something in my eye socket, Orochimaru, did you fail?"
"Yes, it is not only your eyeballs that are damaged, but also the nerves around the eyeballs. They are the key to your vision."
"Caged Bird invades your brain along these nerves and finally destroys everything. My technique did not completely stop this destruction, so--"
There was inevitably a trace of regret in Orochimaru's voice. His original goal was to protect the eyes as well, but the final result was still unsatisfactory. Not only was the eyes not saved, even the nerves needed to replace the eyes were still unable to be used.
"I know." Hyuga Chio didn't seem disappointed. He gently raised his arm, and the fixture made a crisp sound.
"It's been much better than I expected. Not only was my life not lost, I'm even conscious, I can still speak, I can hear your voice, I can even feel my arms and legs, maybe I can stand up in the end."
"Maybe I can still fight by then, Orochimaru, didn't you say you wanted to set up a ninja village and develop ninja tools that can attack enemies with sound?"
"I know that sound can also determine the direction and location of the enemy. When the time comes, I will ask you to help me develop a ninja that can determine the surrounding situation only by sound."
Orochimaru nodded, ready to agree, but Uchiha Jie stepped forward and interrupted, "Try Sharingan. It doesn't need to connect the nerves, just put it in the eye socket."
"Master, don't try. I can't even use my own family's eyes. How can I use Sharingan."
Hyuga Chio heard Uchiha Jie's voice and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't move. There was no possibility of refusal. Orochimaru nodded silently and took Two-Tomoe Sharingan out of the test tube.
Sharingan was placed directly in Hyuga Chio's eye socket, and this time he finally felt different.
"Ah!" He first screamed in pain, and then shouted loudly, "Me! I can see it!"
However, the next second, Orochimaru quickly stretched out his hand and pulled out Sharingan that had just been placed in Hyuga Chio's eye socket, bringing up two bits of blood.
"It's amazing!" He looked at the eyeball in his hand, praised softly, and then said, "It seems that I don't need to develop any device for you. Sharingan is enough to restore your sight. But now you are too weak, and you can't even support one eye. As long as it is placed in your eye socket, it will keep devouring your chakra."
"When your condition gets better, I can do the same set of experiments for you as Yuuhi Kurenai, so that you can freely control Sharingan."
"No, Orochimaru, you'd better put Sharingan away. I've already left the cage, and I don't want to enter another cage again." Hyuga Chio smiled and softly rejected the future arranged by Orochimaru for him.
He twisted his neck slightly again, and the moment he had Sharingan, he saw Hyuga Hinata next to him.
"Young Miss, you should be happier." He said softly, "I am the one who broke the cage. You should congratulate me, bless me, and watch me flap my wings and fly higher and higher."
"Although I am now reduced to just skin and bones in order to break through the cage, the kind that even a goshawk wouldn't look at..."
But Hinata lowered her head and said nothing. She remembered the original story, the first thing the crow did after breaking into the cage...
