The two did not exchange many words. Orochimaru merely introduced all the equipment needed for the experiment before beginning to dissect the body on the operating table.
Dissecting a human body was an exceedingly meticulous task. The slightest mistake could ruin the entire experiment.
Even Orochimaru had to approach it with utmost seriousness.
Toru noticed that once Orochimaru entered the experimental phase, he displayed an unprecedented level of obsession and focus.
Toru was familiar with that state, because he was the same way in battle.
"Bone shears."
Orochimaru held out a hand.
Toru immediately picked out the tool Orochimaru needed from among the many instruments and handed it over.
Orochimaru had already stripped away the experimental subject's skin and flesh and begun working on the bones.
To complete the Soft Body Modification Technique, modifying the skeleton was of paramount importance.
The first thing Orochimaru modified was the cervical vertebrae. He altered the original seven vertebrae and added many fine bone joints responsible for connecting them.
This allowed the neck bones, once limited in their ability to extend and contract, to stretch several times farther.
Two hours later, Orochimaru's modifications were initially complete.
Toru spoke up then. "The bones can be modified, but what about the skin and flesh?"
Orochimaru set down his instrument and answered, "Good question."
As he spoke, Orochimaru walked to a medical refrigerator and took out a syringe filled with a green solution.
As he walked, Orochimaru said, "This is the answer to that problem: the Body Plasticity Modification Agent."
Orochimaru went to the breeding room and took out a white mouse.
He injected part of the syringe's contents into the mouse.
After struggling for a while, the mouse returned to normal and seemed no different from before.
Curiously, Toru activated the Six Eyes to observe the
