"What?!"
"Hey, Orochimaru, this is the Five Kage meeting!" The Fourth Raikage tried to remind Orochimaru that this was not a place for him to play around.
Orochimaru remained calm and unhurriedly took a small vial of reagent from the pocket of his white coat-like robe.
The glass bottle shimmered with a cool, crystalline light under the refraction of the live stream light, containing a splash of vibrant red, enveloped in a deep green liquid.
The two bloods do not mix, but they do not repel each other either. Rather, it is more like the emerald green blood surrounding the red blood, trying to gain its favor.
"Bloodline refinement technology," Orochimaru said slowly.
"What technology?" The Fourth Raikage was a little confused.
"What's its purpose?" Shikamaru asked.
Tsunade stared at the vial of reagent with a furrowed brow. She sensed the power contained within the blood, even a hint of the vastness of 'all things in the universe'.
"The lineage of Ninja can be traced back to one person, namely the Six Paths Sage, the founder of the Ninja School."
Orochimaru began his speech, and the Five Kage already sensed an impending cognitive storm.
"The power inherited by the Six Paths Sage comes from the Chakra god, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. In other words, if we combine all the bloodline variations of the Ninja World, we can theoretically achieve bloodline fusion and create the supreme Bloodline Expansion!"
Whoosh—!!
The Five Kage were all stunned; they never expected Orochimaru to dare to research anything like this.
In any other period, Orochimaru's research would certainly have been taboo and opposed by the entire Ninja World.
After all, if bloodlines are collected and fused, wouldn't that make the bloodline limits of all villages transparent, and even give everyone a Bloodline Limit?
This undoubtedly breaks the survival rules of the Ninja World!
But at this critical moment, when the Ninja World is in dire straits, every possible solution must be pursued, and every opportunity must be seized.
They had no other choice, so it's not unreasonable for them to go a little crazy at this time!
"But that's based on theory. Just fusing two attributes is incredibly difficult. In the thousands of years that the Ninja World has developed, only a very few outstanding individuals have been able to master the Bloodline Limit. And above that, only the Tsuchikage in the entire Ninja World can inherit the Bloodline Selection."
Tsunade explained.
This is common sense, and it's a concept ingrained in the very bones of Ninjas.
"Therefore, we cannot have too high expectations, but if we want to improve the strength of a Ninja in a short period of time, bloodline fusion is the only shortcut!"
Orochimaru toyed with the reagent in his hand. The opportunity was laid out before them; whether they accepted it or not depended on their thirst for power.
gulp (sound of swallowing)
Orochimaru clicked his tongue inwardly. Some people were already itching to get out of control, but they wanted to maintain their composure in front of the other Kage.
Orochimaru then added, "In terms of sincerity, I am currently a scientific researcher in Konoha, and I have no intention of keeping such a quick and easy-to-use technology to myself."
"Judging from your confidence, the reagent in your hand must be the finished product, right?" Ōnoki asked.
Orochimaru nodded, giving an affirmative reply.
"However, I don't have many usable materials at hand, and so far I have only researched and developed perfect Hashirama cells."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly, and the other Village Kage's expressions immediately became subtle.
"Even ordinary Hashirama cells have the ability to phagocytose their host, let alone 'perfect' ones, which would probably kill the host immediately, right?"
Tsunade has some knowledge of Hashirama cells, and given her expertise in medicine, no one would deny her assessment of Hashirama cells.
Moreover, since they are both Konoha's people, their disagreement at this moment shows that they have put their interests out of the question!
"That's why I said these are perfect Hashirama cells, the kind that can be fused without any risk!" Orochimaru chuckled.
"Who wants to try?" Orochimaru asked, tossing the reagent aside.
The Kage of the various ninja villages have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, since the matter originated from Konoha and the research subjects are from Konoha's own people.
At this critical time, theydo not needd to put on a show to deceive the other ninja villages.
Seeing that no one intended to experiment on her, Orochimaru was very understanding and raised her hands to form a hand seal.
"Wood Release: The Birth of a World of Trees!"
Starting from Orochimaru, the branches and roots of the trees spread outwards, climbing like ivy across the entire conference room.
"this...!"
The walls, the floor, and even the ceiling all bore traces of tree roots spreading. Ninja, who was well-traveled, could naturally tell that this was Wood Release.
Everyone in the meeting video witnessed this scene, and then after Orochimaru released the seal, the trees transformed into luminous Chakra orbs and dissipated.
"Someone has already volunteered to do the experiment, let's give the spotlight to Fifth Hokage!"
Orochimaru chuckled and calmly moved aside. Amidst the vines that had just sprung up, Orochimaru manipulated the branches to inject the reagent into Tsunade's body.
A syringe was attached to Tsunade's crossed arms, and she didn't even notice that the liquid had already been injected.
This...this is too fast!
"Grandma Tsunade?" Naruto called out from the conference table.
"It'll probably take about ten seconds to get used to it," Orochimaru said. "After all, she's the First Hokage's granddaughter."
"Ten seconds?" someone asked in surprise.
With the final three seconds of the countdown, Orochimaru confidently opened his palm and counted on his fingers, "Three, two, one, a miracle is born!"
Tsunade maintained a calm expression throughout, seemingly without any physical reaction.
"Tsunade, let's do a simple wood clone. The seal order is: Rooster—Dog—Snake," Orochimaru reminded her.
Tsunade didn't want to dawdle any longer. She couldn't figure out Orochimaru's thoughts, so she just went along with her.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
Upon receiving the seal, Tsunade felt a portion of the Chakra being drawn from her body, a slow, wooden clone being pulled away from the side of her body.
"It actually worked!"
Some people looked pleased, each pondering their own thoughts.
Orochimaru waved his hand dismissively, but at that moment, everyone in the meeting changed their minds.
Tsunade's example is one they've witnessed firsthand; she herself was completely unaware of it, and the Kage, who fought alongside her, were all familiar with Tsunade's abilities.
She doesn't have Wood Release, but her self-healing ability is quite outstanding.
"Therefore, the conclusion is that you can completely make up for your own shortcomings to help fuse with a powerful bloodline."
Orochimaru patiently guided the way.
At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance. After understanding, Sasuke asked, "We once encountered an enemy whose ability was also a perfect Wood Release power."
Orochimaru, with an expression that said, "I already knew," said, "The material for this experiment was taken from the Kara organization!"
The technology for perfectly fusing bloodlines is simply impossible in the Ninja World, yet Kara achieved it. Perhaps they also obtained power from Ōtsutsuki?
Orochimaru ignited a new problem, which greatly diminished his presence, but his contribution is still undeniable!
"According to your vision, Bloodline Limit does indeed allow for easy combination." Darui was already tempted.
"The abilities of the legendary Sannin are still not to be underestimated!" someone exclaimed.
"Therefore, the prerequisite for the next theoretical step is that all the major ninja villages contribute their bloodlines," Orochimaru added fuel to the fire.
"In this way, we can perfectly complement each other, making up for the shortcomings of our own Ninjutsu, and naturally, our strength will be further improved!"
"Hiss... What terrifying research findings."
Orochimaru neither confirmed nor denied this, but instead smiled and said, "I am merely offering you all a possibility of becoming stronger; the specifics depend on your individual thoughts."
By the way, whoever contributes their bloodline power first will get the 'perfect cell' first!
Without giving anyone else a chance to think it over, Orochimaru quickly pushed open the conference room door and left.
However, the Five Kage meeting was also closed the next moment, and everyone began to get restless, secretly plotting this shocking plan.
Clearly, all the major ninja villages have been forced into a state of intense competition. If you don't participate, what if another ninja village provides cells for Orochimaru to research, and then you become stronger?
This is a great plan that will benefit all of Ninja!
That's right, they're already trying to whitewash this seemingly unbalanced plan, attributing it to hope in the apocalypse, a glimmer of dawn in the darkness!
