Inside the sterile, sealed room, the pungent smell of disinfectant and the earthy odor gradually dissipated.
Orochimaru held the fist-sized, pure white gel in both hands, its texture as smooth as warm jade.
He knelt amidst the shattered crystal glass, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
A scientific fanatic who dedicated his life to studying human genes and the mechanisms of forbidden techniques.
Orochimaru's incredibly sharp sensory nerves were able to clearly detect the molecular-level miracle taking place inside the lump of flesh!
Originally, those were malignant God Tree cells filled with a violent, devouring instinct, and prone to turning against their hosts.
After being subjected to the violent and pure Armament Haki shockwave of Senju Kenya, and the merciless beating of the superior Predator Haki.
All the violent gene sequences were actually "physically erased"!
Only the purest, most docile, and most viable "pluripotent maternal stem cells"—thousands of times more viable than the Hashirama Cells —were left behind!
No rejection reaction!
No expensive anti-rejection drugs are needed!
Just a tiny drop can perfectly and without damage enable any broken limbs and meridians to achieve super-fast self-repair and regeneration at the cellular level!
Orochimaru raised his head and looked up at the black-haired youth standing in front of him, blowing smoke rings.
In the depths of the golden serpent's eyes, all the scheming, darkness, and ambition of the past were completely replaced at this moment by an almost pilgrimage-like fervor!
Twenty years!
He spent twenty years of his life on experiments, harming countless test subjects, and was even condemned as missing-nin by the entire Shinobi World!
As a result, Senju Kenya casually swung a few big punches and directly crossed the scientific barrier that he had been unable to overcome for twenty years!
At that moment, Orochimaru had an epiphany.
Truth is never in a test tube; truth is always within the range of the Emperor's fist!
"Whoosh!"
Kato Yosuke stepped forward at the opportune moment and, with extremely professional movements, pulled a thick, gold-embossed document from the briefcase.
With a "thud," it was laid flat on the metal laboratory table filled with ruins.
"Employment Contract for Technical Director of Advanced Bioengineering Department, Iron Fist Heavy Industries, Konoha Special Zone (Lifetime Contract with Five Social Insurances and One Housing Fund)"
Orochimaru didn't even glance at the terms and conditions.
Without hesitation, he bit his index finger, then slammed it down hard on the signature area of Party B, leaving a bloody handprint!
"Thank you for the Emperor's favor!"
Orochimaru clasped his hands in a fist salute, ignoring the cast on his neck and his voice cracking with excitement:
"From this day forward, I am willing to serve Iron Fist Heavy Industries with the utmost loyalty!"
"With a single command from the Emperor, my body and the entire laboratory will become the Emperor's sharpest technological weapon!"
Without a word, Kabuto Yakushi, standing to the side, obediently knelt on one knee and presented with both hands the keys and file maps of all the secret strongholds under the name of Otogakure.
Konoha Sannin Orochimaru who once struck fear into the hearts of the Five Great Nations, has now completely transformed his identity.
I've gloriously become the number one research and development slave under the Senju Group!
Kenya, with a white jade pipe between his teeth, reached out and tapped the titanium alloy control panel, beginning to issue the first batch of hardcore KPIs to this new employee:
"Old snake, now that you've signed the contract, I'm not playing any more tricks with you."
Kenya pointed to the pure sample of White Zetsu on the table and presented a blueprint for industrial and military production that was enough to overturn the Shinobi World's understanding:
"First, immediately dilute and fuse these cells to create a non-rejection-resistant, highly effective spray and oral pills, prioritizing their supply to Konoha Hospital and the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce Guild's security detail."
"I'll make sure that any Konoha ninja, as long as their head isn't ripped off and their heart isn't shattered, can be sprayed with some medicine and get back to drilling screws within half a day!"
"Second!"
Kenya's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his tone was resolute:
"Deep cooperation with Uchiha Fugaku's forging workshop!"
"Utilizing this thing's powerful nerve conduction and biological activity, combined with Iron Fist Heavy Industries ' top-grade Black Iron Wood and high-melting-point alloy."
"Develop me a 'Black Iron Exoskeleton Bio-Armor' that doesn't require a huge amount of Chakra, and even an ordinary Genin could split mountains and rocks with one hand while wearing it!"
"Third, decipher its stealth and transformation mechanisms, develop anti-stealth radar, and completely destroy the Akatsuki's intelligence network!"
This series of ideas combines the biotechnology, machinery, and military industry chains to create a more streamlined and integrated industrial chain.
This completely ignited all of Orochimaru's deep-seated scientific research fervor!
His experiments were once considered evil, shameful, and forbidden.
Under Kenya's guidance, these technologies were instantly transformed into groundbreaking industrial tools that propelled the progress of the times!
"The Emperor's divine inspiration!! This is simply a creation only a god could have made!!"
Orochimaru ripped off the cast binding his neck and put on a brand-new blue and white Iron Fist Heavy Industries work uniform.
He was like a man possessed, leading the Kabuto Yakushi to rush towards the various backup instruments like a madman!
"Go! Start the backup cold extraction machine number three immediately!"
"Bring in all the Black Iron Wood powder!"
"Everyone's working through the night tonight! Nobody's allowed to sleep!!"
Looking at Orochimaru, who was full of energy and seemed ready to give his life for Iron Fist Heavy Industries.
Kenya grinned with satisfaction, casually tossing down a Royal Gold Card of the Land of Fire with a face value of thirty million ryo as start-up capital:
"Work hard, and at the end of the year you'll get double pay and a big bonus based on profit sharing for your lab."
"Well done! I'll have Tsunade approve two fully furnished penthouse apartments with yards for you in the heart of Konoha's commercial district!"
Orochimaru was so moved that he almost burst into tears, and bowed repeatedly to see him off.
Having completely transformed Orochimaru into a model worker, Kenya then dusted off the dirt on his floral shorts and prepared to take Zabuza to his old Konoha residence for lunch.
However.
Just as Kenya stepped out of the underground cave entrance...
"Splash--!"
In the sky, a deep-sea gull, pure white with its ankles tightly bound by the highest-secret red ribbon of the Land of Water.
Piercing through the rain, it emitted a sharp and mournful cry, swirling precisely before crashing down onto Zabuza Momochi's broad shoulder armor!
Zabuza's expression changed slightly. Zabuza quickly took down the letter tube, opened the water-soaked encrypted bamboo scroll, and glanced at it.
The ruthless killer, who usually killed without blinking an eye, suddenly contracted his pupils!
He gripped his heavy black iron sword tightly, strode forward, and reported urgently in a low voice:
"Boss! Something terrible has happened!"
"This is a top-secret blood letter from Kirigakure Mei Terumi... sent in the name of the future Mizukage, requesting assistance!"
