Kawasaki has already planned to bring Tsunade into the picture, since Orochimaru will inevitably have to deal with Tsunade if he wants to become Hokage.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment: "If Kimimaro suddenly falls ill, he will at least not die with the Hundred Healings Technique."
"But this is Tsunade's unique skill."
Kawasaki shook his head: "I can negotiate with Tsunade."
Orochimaru said with interest, "The Hundred Healings Technique requires a huge amount of chakra, which Tsunade stores using the Yin Seal."
"The Yin Seal is only for women; it's not easy to modify it to suit men."
Kawasaki smiled: "We should at least give it a try, shouldn't we?"
Orochimaru gave Kawasaki a deep look.
Kawasaki nodded, mentally calculating how to get money from Tsunade, his "sugar daddy".
They plucked the feathers there.
Since qun1060928735 is going to find Tsunade anyway, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a Hundred Healings Technique.
But how can I get Tsunade to teach me this technique? Oh right, Tsunade loves to gamble, and I'm not short of money right now.
Kawasaki clenched his fist and struck, "It's you, money power!" After making up his mind, Kawasaki began to ask Orochimaru about the details of the Hundred Healings Technique.
Orochimaru's knowledge was almost identical to Kawasaki's.
The Hundred Healings Technique is essentially about exchanging chakra for blood; without enough chakra, the Hundred Healings Technique cannot heal itself.
If chakra is insufficient when using it... Kawasaki always has a backup plan, and immediately considered a way to quickly replenish chakra.
However, most methods have side effects. Kimimaro's body was already weak, and methods like the Eight Gates Formation might end up costing him his life.
Kawasaki then listed several alternative plans.
...
After Kawasaki arrived, he spent days discussing future plans with Orochimaru, always focusing on Hashirama cells, saying it would be a waste not to study such a huge treasure trove.
Unfortunately, research at the cellular level is extremely costly, requiring advanced medical equipment and expensive materials.
A single experiment can cost tens of millions of dollars; failure means all the money is wasted, or you might end up with a bunch of saplings – it's practically a deluxe version of tree planting.
The experiment to remove the cellular will from Hashirama's cells, retaining only pure Yang Release chakra, was also extremely costly.
Final conclusion: Development still requires money.
The Land of Rice Fields is not large, and its food and beverage market is saturated. Originally, fearing the leakage of technology, they dared not venture into the Land of Fire and only promoted their technology in the Land of Rice Fields.
Now it seems we have to make a choice.
Previously, news came from Fugaku that some people in Konoha were already making moves.
The Uchiha took this opportunity to effectively break away from Konoha and become self-sufficient, while nominally still belonging to Konoha.
Now, it seems the Third Hokage intends to bring Orochimaru back to the village.
This made Kawasaki ponder how to pave the way for Orochimaru. "This is the Hashirama cell fluid I extracted."
Orochimaru's words interrupted Kawasaki's thoughts.
Kawasaki raised an eyebrow: "Those cellular wills haven't been completely eradicated yet, have they?"
Orochimaru's voice carried a hint of cunning: "Indeed, if the cellular will is not removed, there is an 80% chance that using it will turn you into a tree."
"But Shisui and Itachi helped me with the experiment. Their pupil power can suppress the will of cells to a certain extent and achieve fusion."
"With your eye power, the success rate is 40%."
Kawasaki rolled his eyes: "I'm not desperate, why should I gamble on a 40% chance?"
Orochimaru shoved the solution into Kawasaki's hand: "This thing cost two hundred million to make, are you really willing to destroy it?"
Kawasaki stared at the glistening liquid in the test tube, his heart conflicted, truly reluctant to part with it.
Never mind, I'll keep it for now.
Seeing that Kawasaki had put away the solution, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief.
For researchers, a success rate of 40% is already extremely high.
In practice, however, the odds are almost equivalent to gambling.
However, the amount of money invested was so large that it was hard to give up.
Orochimaru then even revealed his plans to Kawasaki.
I want to combine various superior genes to create a perfect body for myself!
Kawasaki was so surprised he almost threw out his back. Was Mitsuki going to be born ahead of schedule?
Oh, this doesn't even include the fourth month.
However, Orochimaru has already begun preparing for the artificial human project, which makes Kawasaki very excited.
When Jugo was brought back, I considered using a cursed seal to create an immortal body.
"But after reading your article about the negative impact of soul splitting on the mind, I think if my soul splits a few times, I might no longer be myself."
Orochimaru spoke with emotion, recalling how he had planted the newly developed Heavenly Curse Seal on Anko when he fled Konoha.
However, this cursed seal did nothing to help Anko; it merely absorbed her life essence and stored fragments of Orochimaru's soul.
If it weren't for Kawasaki's knowledge and reminders, would I have continued to split my soul and eventually become a senile person?
"I plan to improve the Reincarnation of the Corpse. Forcibly shattering the soul of the container will cause impurities in my soul."
Orochimaru raised his hand and said, "You've already begun to delve deeper into your own soul?"
Kawasaki raised an eyebrow. Orochimaru was indeed a smart man; he immediately began to examine himself.
I had Itachi attack me with all his might, but I discovered that I was completely unable to resist his genjutsu; my genjutsu resistance had dropped drastically.
Orochimaru spoke calmly, and as a researcher, he was able to accept his shortcomings and seek ways to make amends.
Kawasaki nodded: "It's good that you noticed it early on. I was just about to remind you of this."
Orochimaru, knowing that Kawasaki possessed the ability to foresee the future, couldn't help but wonder:
"Could it be that my soul will split in the future and cause problems?"
Kawasaki nodded: "A big problem."
Kawasaki pondered for a moment: "Let me put it this way, if I hadn't sent Itachi and the others here, you would have carried out your plan to destroy Konoha and kill the Third Hokage."
Orochimaru was somewhat surprised: "Me? I killed that old man?"
Kawasaki nodded: "Yes, you coveted the Rinnegan of the Akatsuki organization, but you got badly beaten."
"Then he coveted Itachi's Sharingan and got beaten up again."
"In the end, although you killed the Third Hokage in Konoha, you were left half-crippled."
"Later, troubles kept piling up, so you split your soul into many parts."
"Although you were later resurrected, after your resurrection you became..."
Chapter 76 Impure World Reincarnation! Two coffins! Obtaining the cursed seal! Kabuto!
Kawasaki didn't know how to describe it, but recalling Orochimaru's behavior at Naruto's wedding, he gestured a couple of times:
"It's that kind of mentally unstable lunatic."
Orochimaru's face turned ashen. He was extremely arrogant about his intellectual talent, and his self-esteem stemmed from his confidence.
Therefore, he was dissatisfied with not being chosen as the Fourth Hokage.
If I were to go insane, it would be better to just die and be done with it.
Orochimaru secretly resolved to resolve the issue of the soul.
Even in death, the soul can never be separated.
Seeing Orochimaru's changing expression, Kawasaki roughly guessed what he was thinking.
Orochimaru in the early stages was practically a different person from the later ones; both his thoughts and personal charisma declined steadily.
The most crucial issue is the division of the soul and the rebirth of the undead.
In the neighboring village, there was also someone who was obsessed with soul splitting, and in the end, he became neither human nor ghost.
After the discussion with Orochimaru came to a temporary end, Kawasaki realized that he hadn't met anyone else since arriving in Otogakure.
Where did Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's lackey, go?
"Where did Kabuto go?"
Orochimaru said, "I've entrusted everything about Otogakure to him. I haven't seen him for several days."
"He will only be called back when an experiment requires an assistant."
Kawasaki nodded: "Oh, did I mention that Kabuto is very suitable for learning Sage Mode?"
"Very suitable? How suitable?"
Orochimaru never expected that Kabuto also possessed the talent for Sage Mode.
The more he studied Jugo, the more he realized how difficult it was to learn immortal techniques.
Kawasaki thought for a moment, "Sage Arts require purity, a pure heart and soul."
Ultimately, Kabuto Yakushi lost himself, transplanted Orochimaru's limbs, and pieced himself together into a Frankenstein's monster.
He is a mixture of various gene fragments and soul fragments.
In this state, Kabuto Yakushi is still able to master Sage Arts.
This demonstrates Kabuto's exceptional talent in Sage Mode. Second only to Hashirama, he could arguably be considered number one.
These words greatly shocked Orochimaru, who knew more about Hashirama's Sage Mode than most people did.
I never expected Kabuto to be so talented.
It would be a waste of his talents to have him handle government affairs.
"Kawasaki-kun, how many things are you still not telling me?"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Kawasaki was a treasure trove; you could find something new just by digging around.
