With Orochimaru's powerful addition, Amegakure, which had lacked scientific and technological research, received a tremendous boost in an area where it had been lacking.
Afterward, Ning Feng had Nagato select several locations to serve as Orochimaru's laboratories, and deliberately had Nagato leak the news that Orochimaru had joined Amegakure.

Still, he could set it aside for now. It would not be too late to pursue practicing it once it had been perfected.
The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, however,
