During the time Yin Jie was recuperating, many of his friends, including Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, came to visit him.
As his "attending physician," Tsunade came by every day during the first few days, monitoring his recovery in real time.
Yet his teacher, Orochimaru, had not come even once.
Of course, that did not mean Yin Jie and Orochimaru had developed any rift or fallen out.
Rather, thanks to the Kaguya Clan jonin corpse Yin Jie had brought back, Orochimaru's experiments had made a major breakthrough and reached their most critical stage.
On the third day after Yin Jie returned, Orochimaru informed him of the good news—and the reason he had not visited—through the little white snake that had delivered Yin Jie's previous mission.
It had to be said that Orochimaru's talent for research was truly exceptional.
Yin Jie had never expected that, with nothing more than the corpse of a Kaguya Clan jonin who could barely be said to have any connection to the Senju Clan, Orochimaru would achieve new results in his research on Hashirama Cells. He had no idea how Orochimaru had managed it...
Still, Yin Jie did not look into it too deeply. After all, he had not put any skill points into that field.
Besides, it was ultimately a good thing for him, because it meant Hashirama Cells could now potentially be transplanted.
In other words, once he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future, he would no longer have to worry about going blind, just like Uchiha Obito in the original story.
Once his body had recovered, Yin Jie immediately went to Orochimaru's laboratory.
"Orochimaru-sensei!" Yin Jie greeted Orochimaru of his own accord, then followed at his side into the deepest part of the laboratory, which was shrouded by a barrier.
