Uchiha Jun stood aside, watching Orochimaru's expression change from calm at first, to a slight frown, to a sudden contraction of his pupils - he knew that Orochimaru must have discovered something extraordinary.
"Junjun."
Orochimaru's voice was a little dry, "Come here and take a look at this."
Uchiha Jun walked over and got in front of the microscope.
Under the lens, the skeletal cells of Third Raikage present a structure that is completely different from that of ordinary people - under normal circumstances, skeletal cells should be closely arranged in a hexagonal or nearly circular shape.
But the bone cells of Third Raikage have a honeycomb-like hexagonal prism structure that Uchiha Jun has never seen before.
"What is this?" Uchiha Jun asked with a frown.
"Structural variation at the genetic level."
Orochimaru's voice carried a tremor that was difficult to suppress, "His skeletal genes have undergone fundamental changes under the long-term tempering of Lightning Style's chakra - this is no longer something that can be achieved by 'exercise', this is a real genetic mutation."
"And..." Orochimaru called up the data from the analyzer, "This mutated gene fragment contains three extremely unique functional modules."
"First, Lightning Style resistance gene."
Orochimaru pointed at a string of specially marked gene sequences on the screen.
"This gene makes his bone cells more tolerant to Lightning Style chakra than ordinary people - if there is such a strong flow of Lightning Style chakra in a normal ninja's body, the bones will quickly crack or even break."
"But Third Raikage's bones can not only withstand this pressure, but can also absorb part of Lightning Style's chakra as nutrients to strengthen and transform itself."
"Second, spontaneous energy storage structure."
"This gene fragment is like a miniature 'biological battery' - it can continuously absorb the extremely fine Natural Energy and Lightning Release Chakra in the air without consuming active consciousness, and slowly convert it into energy that strengthens bones and surrounding muscle tissue."
"This is why during battle, even if he maintains high-intensity Lightning Style: Chakra Mode, his chakra consumption is much lower than that of ninjas of the same level - his body itself is in a spontaneous 'Sage Mode' state!"
Uchiha Jun's breath paused slightly.
These two discoveries are already amazing enough.
But what Orochimaru said next made him even more moved.
"Third - Extraordinary self-healing foundation."
Orochimaru raised his gaze, and the golden snake pupils were now ignited with a kind of fanatical light that only appeared when researchers faced serious problems Great Breakthrough.
"Due to the abnormal activity of bone cells, the ability of the surrounding stem cells to divide and repair is much stronger than that of ordinary people - this means that even if he is seriously injured, as long as he is not killed on the spot, he can heal himself much faster than ordinary people."
"This is the real reason why he fought one against ten thousand and died of exhaustion instead of being beaten to death by ninjutsu."
Uchiha Jun exhaled slowly.
"Is this genetic sequence... unique, or can it be replicated?"
Orochimaru turned his head and glanced at him.
That glance contained too many complex emotions - shock, expectation, temptation, and a trace of... greed that even he himself was not aware of.
"Theoretically, if the complete sequence can be successfully extracted from this gene fragment and integrated into the gene chain of other ninjas through cell cloning technology--"
Orochimaru's voice was extremely low, "Then, we may be able to mass-produce ninjas with the 'Lightning Style body of steel'."
"But this is only theoretical and cannot be achieved with current technology."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the laboratory seemed to freeze for a moment.
Uchiha Jun's pupils shrank.
Mass production of "Strongest Shield" and "Strongest Spear" --
"Keep it well." Uchiha Jun's voice was calm, but with unquestionable decisiveness, "Then completely record the detailed information of this gene sequence - subsequent research will be carried out around these discoveries."
Orochimaru nodded, carefully picked up the two bones, put them into a storage tank, and specially laid three Sealing Jutsu.
Watching Orochimaru's movements, Uchiha Jun's eyes turned to the pile of tissue samples extracted from Third Raikage's body placed on the other side of the experimental table.
Then he remembered something else.
"How is the research progress of Chimera Technique?"
Orochimaru paused his hand slightly and turned his head to look at him. "Do you have any ideas?"
"A little bit." Uchiha Jun walked to the side of the experimental table, picked up a blank scroll, unfolded it, picked up a charcoal pencil and drew a rough structural diagram on it.
"The core principle of Chimera Technique is to use the technique to strip the Kekkei Genkai gene from the target organism and then embed it into the user's own gene chain."
"I know that." Orochimaru nodded.
"But have you ever thought about a question - what if we change the direction of Chimera Technique from 'stripping' to 'fusion'?"
Uchiha Jun drew a few lines on the structure diagram, "Instead of peeling off the ready-made Kekkei Genkai from others for use, it is to inject various chakras with different attributes into an experimental body and let them react and fuse on their own within the experimental body."
"Then, use secret techniques to accelerate the genetic evolution of the experimental subjects - and then try to give birth to a new Kekkei Genkai, or even a new Kekkei Tōta!"
