"Oh? You know our names? How wonderful. That saves us the time of introducing ourselves." Mayuri Kurotsuchi gave his signature kukuku laugh.
"As a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, you should feel honored. You are about to become the most important research subjects of our scientific careers. Every cell, every segment of your genes, every strand of your chakra pathways will make an indelible contribution to Rōran's technological progress."
"In your dreams!" Urashiki Otsutsuki gritted his teeth. "You inferior creatures won't get anything out of me!"
Orochimaru smiled gently, but that smile sent a chill down Urashiki Otsutsuki's back. "Every new specimen says that. Lord Momoshiki Otsutsuki also swore that he would die before he submitted.

"All right, enough idle chatter." Rubbing his hands, Mayuri Kurotsuchi excitedly brought up the control interface. "Let's start with a basic scan! We already know Momoshiki Otsutsuki's data by heart. Now we need to establish Urashiki Otsutsuki's initial file. Kukuku... two specimens for cross-comparison. This is a scientist's ultimate dream!"
Urashiki Otsutsuki wanted to say more, but the equipment inside the container had already begun to operate. Scanning beams of different wavelengths swept over him. He felt those cold instruments gradually "seeing" through and "reading" his body, outside and in, from skin to bone, from cells to genes.
"Basic vital signs scan complete. Target's vital energy fluctuations show 71.3% homology with the Momoshiki Otsutsuki specimen. Energy pathway structure differs significantly, with a greater inclination toward space release and chakra manipulation."
"Testing cellular activity... cellular activity is 32% lower than that of the Momoshiki Otsutsuki specimen, but cellular telomeres display greater abnormalities. Suspected repeated instances of extreme regeneration or
