In the end, Yanbai named the two children Muye and Silver Moon.
Only then did Tobirama Senju awkwardly explain that everything he had just said was really meant to keep Yanbai from getting so angry.
Tobirama Senju had begun researching genetic synthesis on a whim.
As Tobirama Senju had said, he had done it all for himself. It had nothing to do with Yanbai or Madara.
He had no real regrets, either. This was entirely the result of his endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
But by the time Tobirama Senju came to his senses, the synthesized embryos had survived and gradually developed into fetuses. By then, he could no longer back out.
After all, the two children were Yanbai's biological children. Tobirama Senju could not bear to end their lives.
Time passed as he agonized over it. The fetuses would not stop developing just because Tobirama Senju was torn.
But as the children grew day by day, Tobirama Senju found himself increasingly tormented.
After the experiment succeeded, Tobirama Senju first cared for the two tiny, fragile children. Only once their vital signs stabilized did he start looking for a way to tell Yanbai.
Tobirama Senju first tricked Orochimaru, using him to test the waters.
Then he used Yanbai's attitude toward Orochimaru to decide his next move.
Fortunately, Yanbai was still the same as ever. Even faced with such an outrageous reality, he confronted it positively, and Tobirama Senju was deeply grateful.
In the end, Tobirama Senju still did not take Yanbai to his private domain, perhaps to leave himself a way out.
Yanbai did not press for answers.
Before long, Tobirama Senju finally brought the two sleeping children to Yanbai before dawn.
Tobirama Senju's original body returned to the Konoha Research Institute first, but his clone stayed behind.
