Danzo's Sense of Powerlessness

Lie Yang opened the experimental dossiers Orochimaru had left behind.

Most of the earlier contents concerned human modification.

Chakra meridian transplantation.

Fusion of foreign cells.

Kekkei Genkai adaptation.

And methods of using drugs and chakra to forcibly raise the body's vitality.

The mortality rate of these experiments was extremely high.

Some test subjects began dissolving within half an hour of receiving their transplants.

Some briefly gained immense power, only to lose control of their cells and turn into mindless masses of flesh.

Orochimaru had not concealed the failures.

He had recorded every change in every test subject in full.

This technique did not require complicated hand seals.

Its core was not any single chakra nature.

Orochimaru first used Yin Release chakra to stimulate the mind, placing the test subject's consciousness in an extremely active state.

He then injected Yang Release chakra into the flesh, forcibly driving cell division and repair.

Once both mind and body were stimulated, the Chakra Seed accelerated its operation.

The test subject's strength, speed, and recovery would all rise drastically within a short period.

"Interesting."

Lie Yang turned another page.

According to the experiment records, an ordinary Chunin's strength increased severalfold within half an hour after undergoing cell activation.

They could even continuously cast high-intensity ninjutsu that their body had previously been unable to withstand.

Their skin began to peel away.

Their muscle fibers lost control.

Large amounts of proliferative tissue appeared across the surface of their bones.

Their internal organs were gradually compressed out of their original structure as cells divided too rapidly.

In the end, they could not even retain a human shape.

Orochimaru had left a sentence in the conclusion.
