The laboratory fell into a brief silence because of the little brainstorm in Yin Jie's head.
But soon, just a few breaths later, Yin Jie came back to his senses and nodded at Orochimaru, agreeing to what Orochimaru had just said.
"Alright, Teacher Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru was initially stunned by how quickly Yin Jie agreed, but warmth soon rose in his heart.
After all, theoretically speaking, Yin Jie should not have known the specifics of his experiment, much less the relationship between Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan, which even he himself could only guess at.
Because of that gap in information, Orochimaru mistakenly believed that Yin Jie had agreed for the sake of his teacher.
Thus, he gave a slight shake of his head, his voice still hoarse. "There's no need. Besides, this may not even succeed..."
At this stage, his Wood Release experiment had reached a dead end. It was still stuck at the stage of figuring out how to fuse Hashirama Cells with the human body.
The test subjects Shimura Danzō had brought him were not doing well. Most had already died, leaving only the last few infants barely alive in nutrient solution.
So no matter how confident he was, he still could not be certain that he could complete the experiment in a short time.
Yin Jie pursed his lips. He understood Orochimaru's unspoken meaning.
If the experiment failed, then everything he had just said would be treated as though it had never been said.
And for Orochimaru, known as a cold-blooded snake, being able to go that far was already the limit of what he could do.
After all, unlike Yin Jie, he did not know the many secrets of the ninja world. Nor did he truly understand the relationship between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha
