Orochimaru's laboratory.
Nagase was watching Orochimaru performing human experiments.
That's right, after studying Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan for a while, Nagase and Orochimaru resumed human experiments.
"I didn't expect that Hashirama's cells would undergo such a change in him. But in this case, even if the experiment is successful, the upper limit will be greatly reduced."
Orochimaru looked at the Root ninja lying on the operating table and discussed the experiment with Nagase.
After Orochimaru's research, Yamato's experiment cannot actually be considered a success.
But it cannot be said to be a failure.
It can only be said that it was successful, but not completely successful.
For some unknown reason, the Hashirama cells in Yamato's body now cannot be considered complete Hashirama cells, but only an incomplete and youthful version.
But because of this, its corrosive power was greatly reduced, so Yamato was able to survive.
Orochimaru named that cell the Secondary Hashirama Cell.
Orochimaru originally did not want to study the Secondary Hashirama Cells. He felt that the Secondary Hashirama Cells could not satisfy the vitality he wanted, nor could they greatly improve his strength.
However, Nagase has a different idea. Compared with Hashirama cells which can easily cause the experimental subjects to die suddenly, secondary Hashirama cells should be more likely to produce results.
In order to max out Whitebeard before the Night of the Nine-Tails, and even unlock the third panel, he needed Konoha to increase its prosperity quickly.
Therefore, he needed the research results of the secondary Hashirama cells. If he could use this result to create a Jonin-level Wood Release team, it would be a great help to Konoha.
God knows how long it will take for Orochimaru to completely digest the real Hashirama's cells.
And there may not be any results.
In order to truly balance the power of Hashirama's cells, the spiritual energy required must be the Mangekyo level of the Sharingan.
The reason why Obito was fine was because strictly speaking, Madara was not using the original Hashirama cells, but the White Zetsu that was cultivated using the Outer Path Demon Statue and Hashirama cells.
Right now, the only person in Konoha who possesses the Mangekyō is the current Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku. And it is only possible, not certain.
Therefore, Nagase strongly suggested that Orochimaru first look at the secondary Hashirama cells, saying that the research should be carried out step by step, and this might be faster.
I don't know if Orochimaru was impressed by Nagase's previous performance, but this time he did not insist on his idea. Instead, he started to study the secondary Hashirama cells according to Nagase's idea.
Due to the previous experience in studying Hashirama cells, the research on secondary Hashirama cells was carried out very rapidly and soon reached the stage of human experiments.
Some Root members that the two had captured when they raided the Root organization's base were also put to use.
The one lying on the operating table at this moment is the leading root from the root base.
Among the two, the captured Root member is the strongest and the one most likely to succeed.
At this time, his eyes had been dug out by Orochimaru and replaced with Sharingan obtained from the Root Base, and his body was also injected with secondary Hashirama cells.
Nagasawa and Orochimaru didn't know the code name of this Root, but it didn't matter. In Orochimaru's laboratory, he had a new name.
Secondary Experimental Subject No. 1.
The secondary is the secondary Hashirama cell, and the experimental subject number one is because he was the first to be experimented on.
It has been some time since the secondary Hashirama cells entered the No. 1 test subject, and now is the moment that determines success or failure, so Orochimaru and Nagase are watching here together.
As the two watched, Subject No. 1's body was twitching violently, his facial expression twisted with pain, and his three magatama Sharingan were constantly spinning, seeming to be merging together.
However, the last experimental subject finally calmed down, and the two looked at the display screen in the laboratory.
At this time, all the data of Subject No. 1 were very stable, and his heartbeat had returned to normal. It was not like just now, when his heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to break through his chest, and then suddenly stopped moving, as if he was jumping back and forth on the edge of death.
Yongze sighed, feeling slightly disappointed.
Just now, he saw the magatama in the Sharingan of Experiment No. 1 spinning so vigorously, and thought he could gain an extra pair of Mangekyō Sharingan today.
In the end, it didn't work and they couldn't be integrated together.
"Is it because there is no Uchiha bloodline?" Nagase had to consider this question.
Although there is the example of Kakashi, a foreigner with the Mangekyō, Kakashi's experience is too special.
His Mangekyō should have been activated when Obito opened his Mangekyō.
However, the real owner of the Sharingan No. 1 experimental subject is probably already covered with grass three feet high, so Kakashi’s example is not of any reference value at all.
"What's wrong, Nagase? The experiment should have been successful." Because the two were standing together and Orochimaru was a Kage-level warrior, he naturally heard Nagase's sigh.
"Nothing, I just feel that this experiment is finally going to produce some results." Nagase said casually without mentioning the kaleidoscope.
Given Orochimaru's personality, if he knew that there was a Mangekyō Sharingan above the Three-magatama Sharingan, he would definitely become curious and would most likely do something in secret.
Of course, before he suffered the beating of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Orochimaru would definitely not have developed such a fanatical obsession with the Uchiha.
At most, they would be curious, because three magatama are already powerful for ordinary ninjas, so what kind of power would the Mangekyo above three magatama have.
Orochimaru smiled and said nothing, then activated the technique that he had already performed on experimental subject No. 1.
Stimulated by the technique, Subject No. 1 regained consciousness and a hint of clarity appeared in his eyes.
"Orochimaru, you dare to attack the Root. Lord Danzo will not let you go." Subject No. 1 roared at Orochimaru.
"Hehe." The threatened Orochimaru just sneered twice. He was still counting on Danzo. Danzo himself was in prison and could hardly protect himself.
Since this Ming Nebu had followed Danzo for a long time and had been brainwashed so thoroughly, Orochimaru did not expect to trick him into becoming his subordinate and only treated him as a disposable experimental subject.
"You seem to be in good spirits. We can conduct a combat experiment now." Orochimaru smiled grimly.
Orochimaru licked his lips and activated the technique again, causing Subject No. 1 to faint.
Yongze also unsealed the seal on the experimental subject. The two packed up their things and rushed out of the village.
The next experiment might cause quite a lot of noise and could not be conducted in the village as it would be discovered.
Danzo has his own base outside the village, and Orochimaru naturally has one as well.
The place they were going to this time was a base abandoned by Orochimaru.
Because the Root was disbanded before, Danzo not only lost the village's funding, but was also restricted from making money in the ninja world with the name of the Root, so Orochimaru had much less research funding.
Therefore, some not very important research bases were abandoned.
One of the bases they were going to this time was the research base that Orochimaru used to study some of the ninja snakes in the Ryuchi Cave.
So they decided to make use of the waste and conduct experiments in this abandoned base.
Orochimaru and Nagase first tried out how many facilities were still usable in this base.
Perhaps because it was not abandoned for long, the monitoring equipment is in good condition and can still be used.
Orochimaru placed the experimental subject No. 1 in the center of the base, activated the ritual, and summoned a large number of ninja snakes at the same time. Finally, Orochimaru returned to the monitoring room.
