Chapter 193 : White blood cells
Under Uchiha Yuzuru's command, Kumogakure and even the entire Land of Lightning began a vigorous "Traitor Purging" campaign.
Many people were branded as spies, arrested, and sent directly to Orochimaru's experimental base, becoming the Materials needed for Orochimaru's experiments.
For a time, everyone in the Land of Lightning lived in fear; no one dared to speak of opposing war or embracing peace anymore.
Although the Third Raikage and other high-ranking officials like Dodai felt it was a bit extreme, they still firmly supported Uchiha Yuzuru's idea.
Even Orochimaru was somewhat startled when he saw thousands of civilians being sent to the experimental base as reserve experimental Materials.
He had never fought such a 'wealthy' war before.
Back in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo constantly urged him to conduct various human experiments, yet they were stingy when it came to providing experimental subjects.
They wanted to have their cake and eat it too, which was incomparable to Yuzuru-kun.
Of course, Orochimaru, who never cared much for human lives, was also a little worried that Uchiha Yuzuru would become increasingly radical. So, he proactively sought out Uchiha Yuzuru, stating that there were already enough "Materials" for human experiments and there was no need to arrest people so ostentatiously.
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded, then threw the remaining arrested individuals into the mines as free labor.
He had long anticipated the emergence of "saints" in his domain.
Human empathy varies greatly, and such situations are inevitable.
However, in Uchiha Yuzuru's view, you can be a Saint, but you cannot morally bind others to be Saints with you.
Especially since these people openly formed factions to oppose his plan!
They had only just started eating their fill a few days ago, yet they insisted on overestimating themselves and interfering with the great trends of the Ninja World.
How was this not a form of arrogance?
If that's the case, then let them witness the true darkness of this Ninja World.
After the Land of Lightning stabilized again, Uchiha Yuzuru increased his investment in ideological education.
Only by a two-pronged approach could true stability be maintained.

Konoha Year 58.
After several years of integration, coupled with the one hundred billion Ryo funded by Konoha, the Land of Lightning had completed its territorial integration.
The Land of Rain, the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Iron... these occupied small countries had completed basic construction, and their populations had accepted their new identities.
The Land of Lightning had become an unprecedented behemoth in the recorded history of the Ninja World.
Kumogakure.
Cloud-Thunder Valley Experimental Base.
Uchiha Fugaku, familiar with the route, walked into the innermost room, pushed open the door, and entered.
"Orochimaru, I'm here for my re-examination."
"Fugaku, please wait a moment."
Orochimaru finished speaking, gave Kabuto Yakushi a few instructions, then waved to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Fugaku, come over."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and walked to the only chair, sitting down.
Orochimaru attached various instrument leads to Uchiha Fugaku's body, staring intently at the graphs on the screen.
After a while, Orochimaru finally asked, "Fugaku, have you felt any abnormalities in your body over the past few months?"
"None at all. I feel better than ever."
Hearing this, Orochimaru finally smiled, relieved, "It seems our transplant surgery was very successful."
"Your eyes…"
"Are already able to slowly recover their ocular power."
Uchiha Fugaku said calmly.
Several months ago, after extensive searching throughout the Land of Lightning, a child named "Shin" was finally found.
Research revealed that the child's body cells genuinely did not reject anyone.
After Orochimaru fused Shin's cells with white zetsu cells, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the rejection reaction of the white zetsu cells had almost disappeared.
Then, Uchiha Fugaku, at Uchiha Yuzuru's instruction, underwent a White Zetsu Cell transplant.
After this period of adaptation, his body and the white zetsu cells had completely integrated.
Not only had his Chakra increased, but the ocular power of his Mangekyo Sharingan also began to slowly recover for the first time.
Furthermore, he gained the ability to use the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
Although it couldn't compare to Senju Hashirama's Wood Release, it was still a good method in combat.
"Then I'll inform Yuzuru now."
Orochimaru picked up the phone beside him and said something. Soon, Uchiha Yuzuru appeared out of thin air in the laboratory.
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "The White Zetsu Cell transplant experiment is mature?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, "That's right, it can be transplanted now. And according to your request, there are absolutely no visible traces of the transplant from outside the body."
After Orochimaru spoke, he glanced at Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku understood, immediately took off his clothes, and spun around once in front of Uchiha Yuzuru.
"Alright, alright, there's no need to show me this."
"Fugaku, put your clothes on."
Uchiha Yuzuru averted his gaze, suppressing the urge to punch someone.
Uchiha Fugaku's lips curved into a slight arc before he put his clothes back on.
"Yuzuru, now that my Mangekyo Sharingan won't go blind, we should be able to proceed with the next step of the plan."
"But… can my eyes really enable our clan members to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan en masse?"
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's lack of confidence, Uchiha Yuzuru patted his shoulder, "You have to believe me. While I can't guarantee everyone will awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, those with sufficient talent shouldn't have a problem."
"Your ocular jutsu is crucial to our Uchiha Clan."
One of Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo abilities was the genjutsu Tsukuyomi no Mikoto.
It was equivalent to a life simulator; as long as the Ninja within it couldn't perceive that they were caught in a genjutsu, they would experience an extremely real lifetime inside.
It was simply perfect for helping clan members awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Praised by Uchiha Yuzuru in such a way, Uchiha Fugaku was also a bit excited and responded in a deep voice, "Yuzuru, I will not disappoint you."
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded, then spoke to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, many Uchiha Clan members may awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future."
"You'll have to work hard to ensure the White Zetsu Cell transplant surgery has a 100% success rate."
Orochimaru smiled, "Yuzuru-kun, I have recently succeeded in researching the Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu, so time holds no value for me anymore."
"I will put aside all other matters and devote all my energy to the White Zetsu Cell transplant surgery."
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku asked, puzzled, "Living Corpse Reincarnation?"
Orochimaru spread his arms, speaking with a hint of fanaticism, "The Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu is a forbidden jutsu that allows life to be continuously prolonged; it can turn all impossibilities into possibilities."
"Now, I possess eternity!"
