Upon hearing this, Dou was startled, but he concealed it well.
He then turned his head and carefully observed Orochimaru. Kabuto, who was extremely skilled at disguise, noticed this in Orochimaru's face and eyes.
All I saw was heartfelt resistance and reluctance.
If it's a disguise, that's incredibly impressive!
Kabuto, who had several encounters with Orochimaru during his childhood, coupled with Orochimaru's past deeds and reputation, was certain that Orochimaru could not possibly be the person he is now.
Remembering what Ren said about being able to absolutely trust Orochimaru, Kabuto realized that Ren must have used some means to change Orochimaru.
Although Dou was curious about how he did it, he had something more important to do right now, so he smiled and said.
"In that case, let's do as you say, senior. Let's go."
Kabuto then took Orochimaru to his laboratory.
The moment he stepped inside, Orochimaru's eyes lit up. Unlike Ren, who could only see the price of each instrument, he knew his stuff.
This equipment was even more comprehensive and abundant than Orochimaru's own laboratory, making it impossible for Orochimaru to look away.
Kabuto, who also knew the value of his laboratory, spoke up at this moment.
"As Ren- sama wishes, we will prepare a laboratory for you that is no less than this one. You may use this laboratory freely until your own laboratory is fully set up."
Ren could see from Yuuki's words how much Yuuki valued Orochimaru, learned from Ren and worked hard to get on Orochimaru's good side.
Not to mention that with his increased experience and knowledge over the past few years, coupled with Nonō has long since stopped being obsessed with becoming famous.
The mere fact that Orochimaru was once Kabuto's potential allegiance made Kabuto feel no discomfort whatsoever when he tried to curry favor with him.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tou!"
Orochimaru did not reject this kind of flattery with concrete actions at all, and accepted it with great pleasure.
Subsequently, with Kabuto's assistance, Orochimaru underwent modifications, or rather, plastic surgery, on himself.
During the process, Kabuto did not ask directly, but instead tried to learn about Orochimaru from the sidelines.
After the surgery, Dou felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
The situation is not optimistic; it seems that Ren- sama's predictions will not come true.
Orochimaru has become a complete and utterly kind-hearted person!
Orochimaru, after being altered by Kotoamatsukami, did not lose any memories or become stupid. In addition to being loyal to Ren Konoha, he was also extremely kind-hearted and full of reverence for life.
Let alone human experiments, Orochimaru showed extreme resistance to even ordinary biological experiments.
This version of Orochimaru is almost completely detached from Konoha's current experimental projects.
Are there any side effects to the change?
That's the only guess that could be made.
After assisting Orochimaru in completing his disguise, preparing the identity files for the Experimental Building, and granting him the appropriate permissions.
Kabuto then hurriedly reported the findings to Ren in detail.
Ren, who had been working overtime that night, hurriedly found a hotel in the small town to go to sleep, received the scroll delivered by Kabuto.
Ren, who had quickly read through the information, was also somewhat at a loss.
After all that effort, what did I even manage to grab?
Ren understood the principle that being corrupted makes one five times stronger, while being redeemed makes one three times weaker, and he was mentally prepared accordingly.
But after this redemption, Orochimaru, now nine-nine percent weaker, still has any value?
Shisui Uchiha, look what you've done!
Using Kotoamatsukami like this, truly worthy of you, Shisui!
Even though it was almost dawn, Ren still took out his specially made eye and kept pouring Chakra into it.
The Land of Iron is not close to Konoha; even the Flying Thunder God cannot reach it in one step, requiring several transfers along the way.
During the few minutes of waiting, Ren's initial slight anger completely subsided.
At this point, they simply waited for Shisui to arrive, inquire about the specifics, and find out exactly what had happened.
Orochimaru is just a guy, and it's true that he can get along with me, but no matter what, he can't compare to Shisui's importance in Ren's heart.
Ren has never hurt his own people for unimportant people or things, and he will never do so.
Ren most likely believed that Shisui had done something, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that Kotoamatsukami had unknown side effects, Shisui.
No aperture, no special effects.
Shisui teleported directly over and appeared in front of Ren.
Ren immediately asked.
"Shisui, besides what I've mentioned, have you made any other modifications to Orochimaru's will?"
After hearing Ren's question, Shisui did not hide anything.
"Yes, I modified Orochimaru's personality to instill in him a deep reverence for life."
After hearing Ren breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling that Shisui had acted too recklessly, wasting a chance to use Kotoamatsukami.
Having confirmed that there were no problems with the Shisui, Ren's familiar smile returned, and he spoke.
"Shisui, well done, but you must understand, everything I did was..."
Before Ren could finish speaking, Shisui interrupted him.
"Stop talking about Konoha for me, Ren. What I'm really worried about is you!"
