Three wounds struck at once, and his psychological defenses collapsed completely. Heartbreak points far exceeded the threshold.] [Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an Advanced Blind Box ×1. Open it now?]
The corner of Yongye's mouth lifted almost imperceptibly, then quickly flattened again.
Bringing Yakushi Nonō here had been worth it after all. As expected, it had paid off!
"Open it."
[Ding—Advanced Blind Box opened.] [Congratulations, Host. Reward obtained: Super Cloning Technology.]
The next instant, a flood of advanced biotechnology knowledge surged into Yongye's Mindscape.
Methods for extracting and preserving cell nuclei, techniques for removing nuclei from egg cells and fusing them, embryo cultivation and developmental control, gene-sequence editing and correction...
Technological barriers that would have taken decades to overcome on Earth, forbidden knowledge that only Orochimaru had begun to grasp in the Naruto World—all of it poured into his mind at once. Clear Sword Heart rapidly broke it down, rearranged it, and brought it all together.
A living being could be replicated in full, starting at the most basic cellular level.
No living sacrifice was needed. With just a little genetic information, he could grow an identical person in a culture dish.
Hair, skin, blood—any tissue containing cell nuclei could provide enough genetic information.
The resulting clone would have exactly the same genes as the original, exactly the same Kekkei Genkai, and exactly the same potential.
The only difference was that the clone had none of the original's memories and no soul. It was a blank slate, an empty vessel waiting to be
