The Dawn Hidden Village's experimental base was undoubtedly top-tier when it came to genetic research on the Uchiha Clan. After all, studying bloodlines could rapidly enhance one's strength, especially by finding ways to counter the abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Orochimaru was the most skilled in genetic research. At that moment, he personally examined Itachi Uchiha. Looking at the test results in his hand, he spoke with a grave expression.
"I already understand his genetic condition. It's clear that both he and Kimimaro suffer from genetic diseases, and there are certain similarities between them. It's hard to imagine that the Uchiha Clan of Konoha and the Kaguya Clan of Kirigakure are actually distant relatives."
Orochimaru studied the data report with great interest before voicing the troublesome issue the next second.
"As for genetic diseases, the primary method at present is to suppress them with medication. Kimimaro's condition shows that there won't be any problems in the short term. As for a complete cure, that will be difficult. We are still developing the relevant drugs. The current research is all aimed at the Kaguya Clan's condition. Even if the two have certain similarities, the results could be completely opposite."
Orochimaru's scientific rigor made him weigh every word. He did not rashly claim that he could solve Itachi's problem.

"Taking his physical condition into account, it can be delayed for ten years."
This was the accurate data currently available. Ten years was already a long time, and with current technology, they should be able to overcome this problem.
"Additionally, I discovered one characteristic: the more he uses the Sharingan's abilities, the shorter this period becomes.
