Glancing at the unusually quiet experimental base, Ye Ning suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten a certain pair:
"Where did Sasori and Shika... the two of them run off to?"
"Well, Shika accompanied Sasori back to Sunagakure to visit Chiyo-baasama. You were still unconscious at the time, so we didn't tell you. Judging by the time... they should be back soon, right?"
Ye Ning nodded thoughtfully.
So Sasori had taken Shika home to meet the family?
With Shika's personality, which made him so hard to dislike... Chiyo-baasama would probably be very fond of him, right?
"Well, Orochimaru, who do you think would be suitable as the jonin instructor for Kimimaro's team?"
Ye Ning rubbed his brow, looking somewhat troubled.
No matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate.
So he wanted to hear Orochimaru's opinion.
Hearing Ye Ning's concern, Orochimaru shrugged, his expression unchanged. "As long as you don't make me take the position."
Orochimaru pointed toward the laboratory door beside them and continued:
"As for the Tenseigan research... I seem to have made some progress. Based on what you said, it is indeed highly likely that the Tenseigan can be formed by combining the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan with Otsutsuki Clan cells. However... I studied the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, and even among those of the Main House, there are differences in purity."
"By all logic, the purer the Byakugan, the greater the chance it has of evolving into a Tenseigan. Of course, the prerequisite is that you first possess Otsutsuki Clan cells. Otherwise, it's all just empty talk."
The Otsutsuki Clan...
Ye Ning subconsciously raised his head, gazing toward the sky through the heavy rock walls and the depths underground.
The Otsutsuki Clan closest to the Shinobi World currently lived on the moon.
