His gaze was fixed on Tsunade, as if he could see through her tightly shut eyes and observe the changes happening inside her body.
Orochimaru continued explaining, "The fusion method she's using, according to my calculations, once she wakes up, it will greatly increase her total chakra."
"And as for the Strength of a Hundred Seal she excels at, her combat power will definitely not be inferior to Minato with Sage Fox Mode."
After saying that, Orochimaru shifted his gaze to the data displayed on the screen and began studying it carefully.
After a while, Orochimaru raised his head and continued:
"As for Nawaki, although his chakra increase is relatively smaller, it leans more toward strengthening his Wood Release abilities. As long as Nawaki can wake up safely…"
"And once I complete all the data collection, then Yamato can use the 'Hashirama No.1' serum."
"As for the risk issue of your Uchiha clan injecting Hashirama No.1, it does appear to be quite high at the moment."
"So for now, we can only use the most traditional method to promote the evolution of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
After thinking for a moment, Rengoku said, "I plan to have Itachi and Fugaku exchange eyes with each other."
Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned slightly and fell into thought.
After a moment, he slowly asked, "Mutual exchange? But to successfully evolve into Eternal Mangekyo, it's not just a simple genetic fusion. It also requires perfect integration between the two parties' pupil power."
"You should know that if the two of you simply swap eyes, but the integration of pupil power at the cellular consciousness level isn't sufficient, the final result will be failure for both."
Hearing Orochimaru's warning, Rengoku was naturally well aware of it.
After all, as a clan with a thousand-year legacy, the Uchiha had already conducted countless experiments and attempts.
If simply exchanging two pairs of eyes could easily grant the legendary Eternal Eyes, then throughout the long history of the Uchiha clan, all Mangekyo Sharingan users would probably have ended up with Eternal Eyes in pairs.
But that wasn't the case. Although past Uchiha members knew little about scientific principles, through experience accumulated with countless lives, they always managed to figure out certain patterns.
Simply put, the Mangekyo Sharingan is half a living thing. The eyes contain cellular will, and the host ultimately wishes for them to fuse with someone's eyes.
Only then does the Eternal Eye have a chance of succeeding.
Of course, that's just the first condition. The second condition requires sufficient integration of pupil power, and the third condition requires mutual supplementation at the genetic level.
These were all things Orochimaru and Rengoku had already researched years ago.
Now, if both father and son hope for the other to become the Mangekyo user, then the pupil power would not be sufficient.
"Then what if I can obtain a complete portion of pupil power from Fugaku?"
Rengoku's hypothesis immediately made Orochimaru understand.
Combined with what he had said earlier, Orochimaru already knew what Rengoku was planning.
A burst of excitement suddenly flashed in Orochimaru's eyes as he responded eagerly, "If that's the case, then it would be enough to trigger the evolution of one of their eyes!"
Then, after thinking a bit more, Orochimaru added, "As for the other person, although their own pupil power wouldn't be enough to evolve into Eternal Eyes, at the very least it would recover to some extent."
Hearing this, the anticipation in Rengoku's heart couldn't help but fade slightly, and a hint of disappointment showed on his face:
"I was originally hoping this power would be strong enough to let both of them successfully evolve into Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan at the same time."
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, "That outcome is already quite good. Don't be too greedy."
"According to what you said, Sasuke's talent is also quite good. After he awakens the Mangekyo in the future, you could then fuse another Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
As for Sasuke's situation, Rengoku had been busy doing experiments with Orochimaru today and hadn't yet discussed it with Itachi and Fugaku.
Talking it over with Orochimaru first worked just as well.
"I suspect that during the battle at the Dragon Vein, what was extracted from Sasuke and Naruto was Indra and Asura's chakra…"
Rengoku then went on to explain the changes in Sasuke and Naruto to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru thought for a moment, "That should be the case. This kind of reincarnated chakra is bound to have an effect on the two of them."
Rengoku shrugged, "It doesn't affect Naruto much. After all, he's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and his future training path is Sage Fox Mode."
"But Sasuke's growth has been a bit underwhelming. You don't know what Sasuke was like originally…"
Then Rengoku began recounting everything Sasuke had gone through in the original timeline, his mental state at the time, and his series of actions.
Orochimaru, a master of manipulation, only needed to listen for a short while to keenly sense the huge difference between the original Sasuke and the Sasuke standing here now.
A trace of surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly faded, replaced by a playful tone as he said, "It seems that for your Uchiha clan, having so-called family happiness is actually a bad thing."
Hearing this, Rengoku couldn't help but smile.
He hadn't expected the usually stern Orochimaru to make a joke.
"Heh!"
"As for Sasuke, I'll handle it."
"Have you finished making your perfect body yet?"
Orochimaru was currently using Rengoku's clone as a container for his soul.
In a sense, Orochimaru was now a dead man.
But Orochimaru himself didn't care about that at all.
"Creating a truly perfect body is no easy task. So far, we haven't found the most ideal base material."
Rengoku knew very well that with Orochimaru's arrogant and confident nature, if it were his past short-sighted self, he would have already rushed to start making a body.
But things were different now. The current Orochimaru only aimed for the best and most promising.
"Good thing you're here."
Orochimaru took out two scrolls from beside him and handed them to Rengoku.
"This is the Strength of a Hundred Technique that Shizune just delivered."
Then he pointed to the other scroll and continued, "And this one contains a series of improvements I made to Sage Mode while you were away."
As Rengoku took the scrolls, Orochimaru reminded him, "There's something I need to tell you. The Hyuga clan brought all of their Byakugan in exchange for two revival slots."
Hearing this, Rengoku raised an eyebrow slightly and thought to himself, 'Looks like Hyuga Aoto isn't stupid. After seeing Namikaze Minato successfully revived, he immediately remembered what I told him before.'
"Only two people? You're being a bit stingy, aren't you?", Rengoku said this in a half-joking tone.
After all, for someone like Orochimaru with such powerful research capabilities, creating a cloned body only required time and some necessary materials.
Faced with Rengoku's teasing, Orochimaru didn't get angry. Instead, a faint, ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
After a moment, he replied leisurely, "The clones of Hyuga Mitsunobu, Hyuga Hizashi, and Hyuga Sota have already been completed."
"They plan to revive Sota and Mitsunobu first. As for Hizashi… I specifically left him for you to use as a favor."
Hearing this, Rengoku couldn't help but be a little stunned.
He had to admit, sometimes Orochimaru really knew what he was doing.
He glanced at the scrolls in his hand and silently calculated what needed to be done next.
"Looks like I'll be busy for a while."
