"Teacher Orochimaru!"
Yang Hao greeted him. At the moment, Orochimaru was observing a clump of bizarre white cells.
"Take a look at those materials."
Pointing at the stack of documents on the table, Orochimaru wanted to see whether this disciple could offer him some inspiration.
Yang Hao said nothing. He walked over and quickly flipped through the materials, only to be startled by what he saw.
These were records of Wood Release experiments, likely left behind by the Second Hokage. He had not expected them to end up in Orochimaru's hands. Was Danzo Shimura planning to restart the Wood Release experiments?
Suppressing his thoughts, Yang Hao continued reading. It took him over an hour to finish and initially memorize the materials.
After closing his eyes and reviewing them in his mind, Yang Hao asked, "Teacher, has there not been a single successful case in this kind of experiment?"
"If there had been a successful case, this project would not have been suspended and sealed away for so many years."
"If you were to lead the Wood Release experiments, how would you do it?"
Orochimaru greatly wanted to see what this disciple would think.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Hao pulled several sheets from the pile. These pages specifically recorded research into the properties of Wood Release.
"According to the records, Wood Release can autonomously absorb other people's chakra. However, it only absorbs chakra and does not directly cause death. In other words, it mainly targets chakra and does not directly absorb physical energy. Otherwise, it would be enough to drain someone to death.
"Hashirama's cells also possess the properties of Wood Release. They actively absorb—or rather, devour—the recipient's chakra, then develop into an eruption of Wood Release. Roots and trunks pierce through the body from within, killing the recipient.
