Hoshino did not respond to Orochimaru's words, but simply stood quietly in place, staring intently at the design drawings projected on the screen.
The surrounding desert was exceptionally quiet in the night, with only the rustling of the wind through the sand and the faint sound of the 'life support system' operating.
The main body of the system is a semi-transparent oval-shaped cabin made of a special crystalline material, which allows the complex internal structure to be clearly seen.
The surface of the cabin was covered with dense runes, which flickered and flowed like living things, constantly absorbing and transforming the surrounding energy.
Several thick tubes extended from the cabin, their connections gleaming with a silvery metallic sheen, tightly linking to various instruments and devices.
Orochimaru slowly paced around the 'life support system,' carefully observing it as he walked, occasionally reaching out a finger to gently touch the tubes and runes.
His eyes revealed a strong interest and a desire to explore, and he occasionally made sounds of admiration.
" Hoshino, I think I've figured this out, but these runes and simulation programs alone are far from enough to reliably remove the Tailed Beast."
As he spoke, he tapped the cabin hull lightly with his fingers, producing a crisp sound.
Hoshino frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the design drawings, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.
"I understand the difficulties involved, which is why I need your help. With your expertise in biology and Ninjutsu research, you can definitely make up for the system's shortcomings."
"Whether we succeed or not, the Reform Society will always be the most steadfast ally of the Otogakure."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Now that he has changed his position and started to step into the limelight, he has realized that managing a ninja village is not an easy task at all.
Furthermore, the Reform Society and the Otogakure have many ongoing projects, and maintaining a good relationship with them would greatly benefit the development of the Otogakure.
Moreover, the 'life support system' in front of him aroused his strong desire to explore.
"Interesting, I'll give it a try."
Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he had found a new and interesting experiment.
After a moment of contemplation, as if he had thought of something, he quickly took out some special reagents and small instruments from his ninja tool bag.
First, I picked up a long, thin dropper and carefully drew a drop of liquid that emitted a faint blue light from the reagent bottle, then gently dripped it onto the interface of a tube.
The moment the drop of liquid touched the metal interface, it spread rapidly, as if it were alive, seeping inward along the conduit.
Next, he picked up an instrument, attached it to the surface of the cabin, and began adjusting the knobs on it.
With a slight buzzing sound, the frequency of the flashing runes on the surface of the hull began to change, and the light became brighter.
In the time that followed, Orochimaru became completely immersed in researching and improving the 'life support system'.
Sometimes he stared intently at the internal structure of the cabin, sometimes he drew complex formulas and patterns on the sand, and sometimes he picked up various reagents and instruments to debug.
Hoshino watched quietly from the side, also to prevent Orochimaru from using underhanded tactics or leaving a backdoor.
Time passed slowly, and the night in the desert was exceptionally long, occasionally broken by the cry of an owl.
Orochimaru is now focusing all his energy on the task at hand.
As he continued to incorporate his research findings in the field of biology, the 'life support system' gradually underwent some changes.
The already shimmering and flowing runes became even more active, as if they were jumping around joyfully.
The flow of Zero-Tails Chakra within the duct became more stable, as if one could glimpse the forbidden secrets hidden within if one gazed at it for a long time.
After a full day and night of effort, Orochimaru finally stopped what he was doing.
"Call!!!"
He let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Hoshino, and said, "Mission accomplished!"
"I have incorporated some of my key research findings in the field of biology into it, and the current 'life support system' has made a qualitative leap in its ability to simulate and adapt to Tailed Beast Chakra."
"Furthermore, I've strengthened my body's protective mechanisms, so that even if there are abnormal fluctuations in the Tailed Beast Chakra, I can adjust and stabilize it in time."
Hoshino stepped forward and carefully observed the various changes in the system. He found that the parts that were originally a little flawed were now perfect, and the flashing of the runes and the operation of the conduits were smoother and more natural.
As expected of the number one scientist in the Shinobi World, his mind is sharp and his work is efficient.
"Let's begin then, I'm ready." Gaara looked at the improved system, his eyes revealing trust and determination.
The group carefully helped Gaara into the semi-transparent, egg-shaped capsule.
The hatch closed slowly with a dull thud, as if announcing the start of a trial.
The life support system activated instantly, and the runes on the surface of the hull burst forth with dazzling light, like countless Fire Fly dancing on the hull, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Within the conduit, Zero-Tails Chakra flowed steadily, its deep purple light leaping like a mysterious flame.
Gaara lay in the cabin, eyes closed, breathing steadily, seemingly calm, but in reality, a thrilling battle was taking place inside his body.
Hoshino and Orochimaru stood to the side, their eyes fixed on the data displayed on the system screen.
The desert nights are exceptionally quiet, and the occasional hooting of owls adds to the tense atmosphere.
Hoshino's expression was serious, his gaze calmly scrutinizing the various parameters of the system, his fingers moving methodically across the control panel, closely monitoring every detail.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing focus and determination. He nodded slightly from time to time, seemingly assessing the current situation in his mind.
As the system began to strip Shukaku from Gaara's body, the runes on the capsule instantly became brighter, as if they were resisting the power of the Tailed Beast that was about to break free.
Shukaku's seal was gradually broken, and powerful Chakra began to surge, attempting to break free of its restraints.
Gaara's body trembled slightly, his brows furrowed, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
" Shukaku's resistance was expected," Hoshino said calmly, his eyes never leaving the screen as he continued to adjust the flow of Zero-Tails Chakra.
"Increase the energy supply of forbidden medical techniques to maintain Gaara's life force."
Orochimaru nodded slightly. "No problem, this system is even more stable than I expected."
Just then, Shukaku's Chakra suddenly surged violently, like a wild horse breaking free, wildly impacting Gaara's body.
The runic light on the hull began to flicker erratically, and the flow of Zero-Tails Chakra in the conduit was also affected, becoming disordered.
