A New Research Subject: Three-Tomoe Sharingan

"How is the experiment going?" Kenichi Amamiya, who had been intently recording the results of this experiment, suddenly heard Orochimaru's voice.

But he was already used to it. His teacher had always been elusive, sometimes walking right up behind him without making a sound.

"Two died, but that also improved the accuracy of the data. Rejection does indeed exist, and..." Kenichi Amamiya glanced at the Black Cloth beside him, beneath which lay two test subjects who no longer had vital signs.

They were not from Konoha. They were from the Land of Wind.

Although the war had ended, border conflicts and heightened security would remain for some time. Test subjects were still relatively easy to find, but after a while, it would become troublesome.

"And I discovered that the First's Cells are extremely active and highly invasive." Kenichi Amamiya handed the experimental report in his hand to his teacher.

Even after only a tiny amount of cells was injected, they displayed a threat to other normal cells. Their frenzied rate of expansion reminded Kenichi Amamiya of cancer cells.

The two were quite similar: abnormal rates of division, followed by a fatal threat to the host. Unless that portion of body tissue was removed immediately, death was basically inevitable.

This gave Kenichi Amamiya some novel ideas. Could he develop a ninjutsu that stimulated the cancer cells in someone else's body to multiply rapidly and form cancer? Directly push it to the terminal stage?

Cancer cells formed in every ordinary person's body, but most people's cancer cells were eliminated. Once the ones that could not be eliminated developed, they became cancer.

Did cancer exist in the ninja world? Kenichi Amamiya suddenly grew curious.

"Send the one without a hand to Lab 3." Orochimaru gave it a glance. It was similar to the experiments he had conducted before, except Kenichi Amamiya's experiment could make the test subjects last a little longer.

That was good. He could conduct several experiments at once now.

"Yes, Sensei." Kenichi Amamiya had no particular thoughts on the matter. Lab Three researched the Sharingan.

His teacher seemed very interested in how to turn other ordinary people into Uchiha, but the war had ended, and Uchiha Clan corpses were not so easy to find anymore.

But with Danzo around, it probably would not be much of a problem.

"I recall that you seem rather interested in genjutsu?" Orochimaru asked Kenichi Amamiya, casually tossing him a scroll.

Kenichi Amamiya took it curiously. The moment he opened it, he knew what genjutsu it was.

The Temple of Nirvana Technique—a large-scale genjutsu that would appear in the Chunin Exams in the future. More importantly, it was an A-rank genjutsu.

"Thank you, Sensei." Kenichi Amamiya smiled like a child, though he was indeed still a child.

The Temple of Nirvana Technique was an area-of-effect ninjutsu with considerable requirements for both Chakra reserves and control. Kenichi Amamiya had previously been a Genin and did not meet the requirements to practice it.

But now that he had the possibility of advancing to Chunin, Orochimaru naturally would not be stingy with rewards for his disciple.

"Although genjutsu can help you defeat stronger opponents, it is ultimately only a supporting method. You still need to strengthen your ninjutsu training," Orochimaru reminded Kenichi Amamiya.

It had to be said that although Orochimaru was a very cruel person, he was still quite dedicated to his disciples. Kenichi Amamiya also put on a humble, receptive expression.

"What did Minato Namikaze say to you yesterday?" After settling the matter of his disciple's reward, Orochimaru casually asked.

Kenichi Amamiya found it somewhat strange. His teacher had known about Minato Namikaze before, but had not paid him much attention. Why was he suddenly curious about this?

"Jonin Minato Namikaze said..." Though puzzled, Kenichi Amamiya still recounted yesterday's events in detail. Orochimaru gave a derisive snort after hearing it.

"Boring emotions. As expected of that idiot Jiraiya's disciple—just as dull as his teacher." Orochimaru snorted softly.

Kenichi Amamiya said nothing. His teacher did not get along particularly well with Jiraiya or Tsunade, though they still greeted one another when they met.

"The Hatake Clan has a rather good swordsmanship style. His father is known as Konoha's White Fang, so maintaining a good relationship with him would be beneficial as well," Orochimaru concluded.

Although he did not think highly of Jiraiya, even he acknowledged that the Hatake Clan's swordsmanship was formidable. Unfortunately, what was too rigid broke easily. Konoha's White Fang had still died to Danzo's scheme.

Kenichi Amamiya nodded. That was good. On one hand, he could build a connection with Minato Namikaze; on the other, he would not have to worry about his teacher objecting.

Orochimaru was a very unique leader. Kenichi Amamiya felt that his teacher still retained some humanity, as shown by the fact that Orochimaru gave him time off once an experiment was finished.

"If this were a company, after finishing my own work, I'd still have to keep doing other work. Leaving early would be unthinkable." Kenichi Amamiya stretched lazily. The sunlight felt quite pleasant on his body.

Kenichi Amamiya felt that if Orochimaru had been the boss of his former company, it would have long since grown bigger and stronger, achieving new glories.

Thinking this, Kenichi Amamiya brought up his research panel for a look.

After completing his research on the First yesterday, Kenichi Amamiya had immediately begun the next round of research. After careful consideration, he still chose to research the Sharingan.

Kenichi Amamiya had considered getting some Byakugan, but the Byakugan's characteristics were too obvious, and the Hyuga Clan's reputation differed from that of the Uchiha Clan.

Besides, the Uchiha Clan would be exterminated in the future, while the Hyuga Clan would remain the same Hyuga Clan.

Current Research Subject: Three-Tomoe Sharingan

Research Progress: 0.12%

"The progress isn't too slow, but why is it Three-Tomoe? I thought it could go straight to Mangekyo. Could it be that the owner of these eyes only had the potential to reach Three-Tomoe?" Kenichi Amamiya rubbed his chin.

Still, directly obtaining a Three-Tomoe Sharingan was not bad.

Kenichi Amamiya glanced at the proud Uchiha Clan Members on the road. They were members of the Konoha Military Police Force, but the leader only had a One Tomoe Sharingan.

"Tsk, tsk. Konoha's higher-ups are really interesting. They gave them such an annoying post, and the Uchiha Clan just happens to have this kind of personality." Kenichi Amamiya clicked his tongue.

The Uchiha Clan's reputation in Konoha was not good. Arrogance, conceit, and looking down on others were labels attached to them.

Though Kenichi Amamiya felt that their assigned duties were probably also part of the reason. He knew that many Konoha villagers and ordinary Genin cursed them as black dogs behind their backs.
