Inside the device, a humanoid silhouette was soaked in light green nutrient solution, and the outline of bones and muscles could be vaguely seen - that was the "Clone Body Template" project that he and Orochimaru jointly promoted.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, Uchiha Jun deliberately did not accelerate the maturity of this clone, but maintained it in an embryonic state to facilitate the subsequent implantation of various genetic templates to observe changes.
"With these genetic data, the next step is to debug a template that fits the clone."
Uchiha Jun stretched out his finger and entered a series of instructions on the device's operation panel.
[Template debugging...]
[Select basic template: Itachi Uchiha (Sample number: UC-001)]
[Adjustment parameters: Sharingan gene integration degree...Yin Release Chakra upper limit... meridian intensity...]
[Warning: High-concentration gene integration may cause the probability of "Bloodline Disease" outbreak to increase to 73.6%...]
Uchiha Jun's fingers stopped.
"Bloodline Disease..."
In the original work, Elite Jonin who owned Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku - Kaguya Clan Kimimaro died of Bloodline Disease. He was young and needed long-term medication to extend his life. If I remember correctly, he was only fifteen years old when he died!
With the Kaguya Clan Kimimaro's loyalty to Orochimaru and his own strong strength, Orochimaru has no reason not to try to treat him, but even Orochimaru, the most knowledgeable person in Shinobi World, can't treat him, Kaguya Clan Kimimaro finally died.
It can be seen that the treatment of Bloodline Disease is by no means simple!
"This is a trouble... No, this Bloodline Disease is a fatal flaw for normal people, but if it is applied to the clones of the 'CCB' army, it is by no means a shortcoming!"
"After all, these biological weapons are products at best. If the technology iterates fast enough, Bloodline Disease might be eliminated before it even breaks out!"
"Yeah! Although this Bloodline Disease has a DEBUFF that reduces the upper limit of health, it also has a BUFF that can grow quickly!"
Uchiha Jun closed the operation panel and turned to the other side of the experimental area - there were several rows of shelves neatly arranged, filled with culture tanks containing Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
During the period of managing Cloud-nin Frontline, the 'death squad' headed by Uchiha Setsuna also suffered losses, and many veterans died in the battle, which also contributed a wave of material to Uchiha Jun.
Just as I was preparing to select some gene sequences and match them with several sets of genetic templates, a strange memory suddenly appeared.
It was the information sent back by Shadow Clone who was left outside by Uchiha Jun.
Uchiha Jun raised his eyebrows.
"Shimura Danzō, he defected. He is indeed your good friend. Sarutobi Hiruzen, it's okay to protect him like this, but if he really dies like this, there will be no good news.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Jun channeled a small snake and took out a wanted poster.
[Wanted Order·S-Class Rebellious Ninja]
[Name: Shimura Danzō]
[Original position: Elder Konoha]
[Charge: Unauthorized attack on the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning government, looting the government treasury, causing a major diplomatic incident; privately conducting research on forbidden techniques, violating the direct prohibition of Hokage]
[Reward amount: 300 million taels (regardless of life or death)]
[Note: This person is extremely dangerous and masters a variety of Wind Release forbidden arts. Anyone who discovers his whereabouts should report it immediately, and no unauthorized actions are allowed!]
Uchiha Jun finished reading the scroll, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Danzo That old guy... was finally abandoned."
He put the scroll away and looked towards the darkening sky outside the window:
"Sarutobi Hiruzen's move to abandon his car to save his handsome man is actually a good one - sacrificing one Danzo in exchange for reconciliation from Land of Lightning's side can also take the blame for the attack on the Daimyo Palace."
[Ding! Complete the hidden mission--[Danzo defected]]
[Rewards obtained: Random S-Rank Ninja Fragment×5, Gold Coin×5000, Ninja World Recruitment Scroll×3]
Uchiha Jun glanced at the panel, and the smile on his lips deepened.
A week later, Uchiha Jun walked out of the experimental base.
The sun glare made him squint his eyes. He had been underground for a long time, and even his breath smelled of the cold, damp laboratory. When he came into contact with the fresh air again, he felt as if he had been separated from another world.
[Ding! Hero Water improvement process has been completed]
[Output increase: 150% → 300% on the original basis]
[Reward: Random Secret Scroll Fragment×20 pieces]
Uchiha Jun moved his shoulders, and his muscles and bones made a crackling sound.
This week's closed research was finally not in vain.
He repeatedly scrutinized the experimental data from Kakuzu, combined with the special structure of Seven-Tails organization, and successfully solved the core problem in the Hero Water process - cost.
The new process can produce finished products of the same quality and quantity by using half the Hero Water of the original process.
Takigakure's bunch of losers have been hiding this thing for decades. They didn't figure out why, so they knew it was a family heirloom.
"It does give me an advantage."
Uchiha Jun looked away from the system panel and walked to another cultivation room.
In the huge culture tank, the light green nutrient solution rippled slightly.
Dozens of humanoid silhouettes are suspended in it, with different body shapes. Some have developed complete limbs and heads, while others are just vague balls of flesh.
These are all clones.
To be precise, it is the 'biological weapon' that Uchiha Jun is preparing to apply in war.
A batch of "special weapons" were developed through repeated debugging using the blood samples of Explosion Release·Hunting.
[Clone Explosion Release Infantry·First mass production]
[Number of units: 37]
[Basic intelligence: possess basic tactical recognition and can understand simple instructions]
[Self-destruction equivalent: equivalent to Explosion Release·Hunting's full blow]
Uchiha Jun stood in front of the culture tank, his eyes swept over the floating outlines, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Explosion Release·Ki was also Iwagakure's Elite Jonin before he was alive. When he killed him, it was just a smooth move. He never expected that he would continue to shine in this way in the end.
If only we could get hold of the "Detonation Core" secret technique passed down from the mouths of those old guys Iwagakure, and combine it with cloning technology...
Uchiha Jun's thoughts suddenly drifted away.
Think about it, if you can create a "detonator corps", everyone will have the self-destruction scale of Deidara in the original book. Then it will be like "Shinobi World is a big guy and will explode when the time comes."
Uchiha Jun gathered his thoughts, clapped his hands, turned around and walked out of the breeding room.
Now is not the time to think so far ahead.
Keep this batch of self-destructing infantry in hand first, and then consider upgrading them when the time comes.
After a week of closed research, there was no direct improvement in strength, but the framework for power expansion has been set up.
Next, it's time to look at the changes on the front lines.
Cloud Ninja Frontline, Konoha main account.
As soon as Uchiha Jun opened the curtain and walked in, he saw Uchiha Fugaku sitting behind the long table, with a thick stack of parchment scrolls spread out in front of him, reviewing something.
"Hey, Fugaku clan leader, thank you for your hard work."
"Chunjun!" Uchiha Fugaku raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You are out? Is the research going well?"
"It's going well." Uchiha Jun sat down opposite him and asked in a casual tone, "How is the situation on the front during this period?"
Uchiha Fugaku pushed the scroll in his hand in front of him, with an expression that was both relaxed and a bit solemn. "Kumogakure has calmed down a lot recently, which is good news."
"Oh?"
"Eight-Tails has been resealed into the new Jinchuriki's body."
Uchiha Fugaku rubbed his temples, with a hint of unexplainable meaning in his tone, "Fourth Raikage has not launched a large-scale attack during this period, but is leading the team to train the new Jinchuriki, which seems to be accumulating strength."
Uchiha Jun raised his eyebrows.
'Good boy, you think I'm the Tiger King, but you still secretly use that 'joint attack' skill?'
Uchiha Jun wanted to laugh a little, but held it back.
"Okay, let them practice. After they finish practicing, I will give them a ride."
"Also, there is one more thing." Uchiha Fugaku pulled out a scroll from under the seat. After unfolding it, it was densely filled with people's names and family names. "This week, I used the Compound No. 1 you left behind to contact several marginal ninja clans."
"Kurama Clan has expressed its willingness to move closer, and the other two or three declining families are also willing to surrender and agree to send their effective members to join us in exchange for Compound No. 1's supply."
Uchiha Jun took the scroll and scanned it quickly.
The effect is good.
Although these little ninjas don't have much power in the overall structure of Konoha, but in the Uchiha Clan's camp, they are a steady stream of fresh blood.
By then, with this Compound No. 1 ripening, the 'Jonin generation' situation among these little ninjas will be eliminated immediately. By then, they will no longer be lonely little ninjas, but can rival the mainstay ninjas like Inuzuka Clan and Aburame Clan!
Moreover, the significance of recruiting these little ninjas is far more than just increasing manpower.
More importantly - it shows the attitude.
In the political landscape of Konoha, let those on the sidelines and onlookers see that Uchiha Clan is no longer the fringe family that is 'passively beaten'.
"Good job." Uchiha Jun put down the scroll, "Increase efforts in training, and don't forget to mainly increase the number of Jonin from our Uchiha Clan. In addition, we must also standardize our thinking."
