Orochimaru was silent for a moment and slowly put down the test tube.
At that moment, he indeed had too much desire for research.
That's an instinct formed over many years.
As long as he sees the unknown Kekkei Genkai, Jutsu Formula and life forms, he wants to understand the principles, tear apart the appearances, and find the deepest answers.
But the person in front of me is Ren.
A strong man who can defeat Hashirama head-on and make the entire Shinobi World bow down.
Uchiha is not the ninja clan in the past who was restricted by Konoha Leadership and could only be trapped in the clan territory.
"Clan Leader, please rest assured."
Orochimaru smiled softly.
"It's just a matter of studying instinct."
"I am just a prisoner who has lost my freedom now. I am not arrogant enough to make plans for Uchiha Bloodline in front of you."
"It'd better be that way."
Ren did not continue to investigate and directly stated his decision.
"Officially join Uchiha."
Orochimaru The smile on his face faded a bit.
"Uchiha will accept an outsider?"
"Not in the past."
Ren said, "But you are an exception."
"You cannot study the bloodline of the Uchiha people at will, but you can study your reshaped self."
Orochimaru The hand holding the test tube stopped again.
"The reinvented self?"
"I have arranged for someone to breed a genetic baby of Tobirama Senju."
Ren is not hiding anything.
"When the new body grows to the appropriate stage, then combine Spirit Transformation Technique and Soul Binding Technique to let Tobirama's soul leave Impure World Body and enter that body."
"His soul will gradually integrate with the new body, and finally get rid of Impure World Reincarnation completely and truly be resurrected."
Orochimaru stares at Ren.
Tobirama Senju's genetic baby!
Spirit Transformation Technique!
Soul Binding Technique!
This is not just about making a replaceable Vessel.
The genetic baby is originally derived from Tobirama Senju itself, and the rejection between the body and soul will be minimized. If Spirit Transformation Technique is used to transfer the soul, and the confinement technique is used to stabilize the connection between the two parties, there is indeed a chance to complete a true resurrection.
Not Impure World Reincarnation.
It's not about taking someone else's body.
But to re-create a life completely belonging to the deceased!
Orochimaru has been studying immortality for many years, but never thought that someone has combined the soul, genes and body reshaping into a complete plan.
"You want to use the same method on me?"
"Not bad."
Ren looked at him.
"Using your genes as the basis, cultivate a brand new body."
"The difference is that my genes will also be incorporated into the newborn baby."
Orochimaru understood what he meant instantly.
"Your genes..."
"You want me to have Uchiha Bloodline?"
"Only in this way can you truly become a member of Uchiha."
Ren gave a positive answer.
"When the new body is finished cultivating, your soul will enter it."
"That body not only retains your genes, but also contains Uchiha Bloodline from me."
"From body to blood, you will become the real Uchiha."
Orochimaru was silent.
He originally thought that Ren would leave Cursed Seal in his body, controlling his life and death with absolute power.
This method is the simplest and most consistent with what Shinobi World major forces do when subduing dangerous people.
But Ren was not prepared to do this at all.
"You're not going to use Cursed Seal to control me?"
"Cursed Seal can only check and balance the rebellion."
Ren said, "If you betray, I can kill you with Cursed Seal. But the hidden dangers in research cannot be eliminated with one Cursed Seal."
"You can avoid orders, hide results, or bury a problem in countless research materials that even I can't find in time."
"I can't stand in the laboratory and keep an eye on your every step."
"So, what I need is not a prisoner who is forced to do things by Cursed Seal."
"But a researcher who truly shares the honor and disgrace of Uchiha and is connected by blood."
Orochimaru The smile on his face completely disappeared.
There is nothing wrong with Ren's judgment.
Cursed Seal can make a person afraid to rebel openly, but it cannot make the other person truly return to his heart.
Especially research.
An adjustment in the recipe, a slight deviation in the proportion of materials, or even a deliberately omitted detail in an experimental record may cause irreversible consequences years later.
If Ren wants to hand over Basic Bloodline Tempering Potion to him for research, he will never allow such hidden dangers to exist.
"Uchiha originally would not accept outsiders."
Ren continued, "Tobirama can join because Senju and Uchiha have the same origin."
"As for you, this is Uchiha's second exception."
"Basic Bloodline Tempering Potion is related to the future of the entire family and is one of the most important core secrets of Uchiha."
"I'm not going to leave it in the hands of an outsider."
"But when you own Uchiha Bloodline and become a member of Uchiha, every result of your research will strengthen your own bloodline and benefit your descendants."
"The stronger the family, the more resources you can get and the more secrets you can access."
"This is the relationship of interest that can truly eliminate hidden dangers."
Orochimaru looked at the potion in his hand and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Clan Leader Your Excellency seems to think highly of me too much."
He gently placed the test tube back on the stone table.
"This potion has indeed completely overturned my lifelong research knowledge."
"But I can't analyze the ingredients, principles, or refining logic."
"Don't talk about upgrading."
"With the knowledge I have now, I can't even do reverse reproduction."
"I'm not asking you to hack it."
Ren said, "I will give you the complete formula and refining Secret Technique."
Orochimaru looked up suddenly.
Ren didn't stop.
"What you have to do is to thoroughly understand the system."
"The medicinal materials and top-level Alchemy required for high-level potions are difficult to find across the entire Shinobi World. There is no point in forcibly researching higher levels at this stage."
"I want you to branch down."
"Looking for common medicinal materials to replace existing rare materials, reducing refining costs and increasing pharmaceutical production."
"Using Basic Bloodline Tempering Potion as the basis, we will develop secondary pharmaceuticals suitable for Shinobi World."
"Increase the speed of cultivation, strengthen the physical body, restore Chakra, treat injuries, and resist diseases."
"Any practical medicine that can be applied to the tribe and Temple on a large scale is within the scope of your research."
Orochimaru picked up the test tube again and thought carefully for a moment.
It is extremely difficult to crack a completely unfamiliar pharmaceutical system.
But Ren is willing to hand over the complete formula and refine Secret Technique, and the situation is completely different.
There is no need to explore out of thin air, and there is no need to forcibly increase the upper limit of potions.
Just look for cheap alternative materials in the existing system, and then develop secondary agents in different directions by weakening, splitting and adjusting them.
"Reverse improvement is indeed much easier than direct upgrade."
Orochimaru nodded slowly.
"As long as I can master the complete refining logic and conduct enough controlled experiments, it will not be difficult to find common medicinal materials to replace rare materials."
"As for restoring Chakra, strengthening the body and treating injuries, you can split the different effects of the original potion and keep the necessary parts."
"I will accept this research."
Even so, he did not put away the test tube immediately.
Ren looked at Orochimaru.
"You still have concerns."
Orochimaru did not deny it.
"Clan Leader Your Excellency has prepared so thoroughly, so naturally I should be happy."
"But what I pursue is not just research resources."
"I know."
Ren said calmly, "Your biggest obsession in life is eternal life."
"Have endless lifespan, learn all Ninjutsu in the world, and explore all the mysteries of life and soul."
Orochimaru Be quiet.
"But the Living Corpse Reincarnation you chose was the wrong path from the beginning."
Ren showed no mercy at all.
"Changing Vessel frequently will continue to damage your soul."
"Every time you forcefully occupy another person's body, your soul will be repelled by Vessel. Even if you successfully suppress the original owner's consciousness, the damage will not disappear."
"The more times Reincarnation is used, the more fragile the soul becomes."
"You will become increasingly vulnerable to psychic attacks with Genjutsu restraint."
Orochimaru's face slowly darkened.
Ren looked at him and said word by word:
"This time you were easily defeated by Tsukuyomi of Fugaku, which is the best proof."
"Relying on Reincarnation to change your body again and again to extend your lifespan is not immortality at all."
"Just keep consuming souls in exchange for one short-lived Vessel."
"Drink poison to quench thirst."
"Extremely stupid."
