"Kabuto."
After a moment's thought, Lin Ze turned and said:
"If I fused nine portions of tailed beast chakra into a 'mini Ten-Tails' and made Kimimaro its jinchūriki, do you think he could withstand it?"
Kabuto paused in surprise, then began thinking seriously.
He walked over to the display rack, carefully examined the eight miniature tailed beasts, and recalled Kimimaro's performance during the Chunin Ninja Exams before slowly nodding:
"It should work in theory."
"Sea dragon jade can harmonize chakra and temper the tailed beasts' savage wills. Kimimaro now has Ōtsutsuki traits, a constitution far beyond that of ordinary people, and a basic grasp of senjutsu. His affinity for natural energy is very high."
"After becoming the mini Ten-Tails jinchuriki, his chakra reserves would skyrocket, and his constitution would grow even stronger. Reaching Six Paths level wouldn't be impossible."
"If he used Rinne Rebirth then, he would most likely survive."
Lin Ze nodded, settling on the idea.
A moment later.
The laboratory door slid open again.
Dressed in a purple cheongsam, the voluptuous Tagitsuhime walked in with elegant steps and a gentle smile:
"Master, you wanted to see me?"
Lin Ze looked at her and said evenly:
"Go to Dragon Release Village and bring Kimimaro here."
Tagitsuhime bowed slightly, putting certain parts of her body on full display before Lin Ze, and replied sweetly:
"Yes~"
But rather than leaving immediately, she hesitated, then said softly:
"Master, there's something I think I should report to you~"
"Speak."
Tagitsuhime said slowly:
"Last time in Konoha, I noticed that Uchiha Itachi... seemed to have something wrong with his health."
"When he coughed, I smelled blood. It was very faint, and he hid it well, but it couldn't escape my senses."
Lin Ze frowned.
Itachi... had still developed bloodline disease?
