Facing Nara Shikaku's question, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'Holy cow, you guys are really going all out!'
You're playing a dangerous game!
Twisting Orochimaru's personality to reshape a kind personality that loves Konoha.
Isn't this the Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu of the Uchiha Clan—Kotoamatsukami?
It's known as the strongest genjutsu in naruto.
However, at this time, Uchiha Shisui had not yet made a name for himself, let alone his Mangekyo Sharingan.
It definitely hadn't been awakened yet.
According to the setting in naruto.
The Uchiha Clan's Bloodline Limit, the Sharingan, requires continuous training to gradually upgrade under normal conditions.
But for those Uchiha geniuses, they awaken and upgrade through various emotional fluctuations.
Such as their parents being killed, the tragic death of a close friend, being cheated on, and so on.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the Sharingan is the physical manifestation of Yin Release.
And Yin Release represents human spiritual power.
In contrast, Yang Release represents human physical power.
The evolution of the Sharingan relies on the Uchiha's spiritual power skyrocketing during intense emotional fluctuations, leading to the Sharingan's upgrade.
A specific example is the Second Pillar, who witnessed his brother Uchiha Itachi massacre the entire Uchiha Clan and kill their parents with his own hands. After being pulled into the Tsukuyomi space and tortured repeatedly, he immediately awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
Similarly, the Mangekyo Sharingan is also awakened in this manner.
But the threshold for the Mangekyo Sharingan is quite high. Even if most Uchiha Clan members lost their father at three, their mother at five, and had their whole family cremated at ten, they probably still wouldn't be able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
What's more interesting is that the Sharingan is known as the 'Eye that Reflects the Heart'.
Every Uchiha who possesses a Mangekyo Sharingan has a Mangekyo dōjutsu that represents their deepest desire at the moment they awakened their eyes.
For example, Uchiha Obito's unique Mangekyo dōjutsu is 'Kamui', which creates a small space belonging only to him that can be used to evade enemies.
The appearance of this dōjutsu originated from what Uchiha Obito witnessed at the moment he awakened his eyes—Rin's death.
When Rin was pierced through the chest by Kakashi Hatake's Chidori, the biggest thought in Uchiha Obito's mind was wanting to escape this world and flee from reality.
He was unwilling to admit or accept the fact that Rin had been killed.
So he created a small space, separate from reality.
Another Uchiha genius, Uchiha Shisui.
His Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu—Kotoamatsukami.
It was awakened when the friction between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha Village higher-ups became increasingly severe, the desire for war within the entire clan grew stronger, and the atmosphere became more tense.
He activated the genjutsu Kotoamatsukami to control those who wanted to start a war and make them accept his philosophy of peace.
That was Uchiha Shisui's thought at the time.
However, that point in time had not yet arrived. Minato Namikaze was in power and doing his best to ease relations with the Uchiha Clan. As a result, although contradictions still abounded, at least everything was heading in a good direction.
Danzo Shimura was dead, and under the leadership of Minato Namikaze, the probability of Konoha repeating its mistakes was very low.
Therefore, the probability of Uchiha Shisui awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan was likely very small.
Even if he did awaken the Mangekyo, it would probably be a different kind of dōjutsu.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen silently asked the system in his heart:
"System, is what they're talking about possible?"
"Of course, it's a very simple matter."
Right, if even Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami could do it, how could the system not be able to?
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and replied to Nara Shikaku with a light smile:
"Of course, it's very simple."
"That's great!"
Jiraiya clenched his fists and cheered.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also showed a long-awaited smile.
No matter what, the Old Monkey had cultivated Orochimaru for decades. He had taken him as a disciple when Orochimaru's height only reached his waist. After spending so much time together, even a dog would feel like family.
Moreover, Orochimaru's talent and brilliance had indeed made Hiruzen Sarutobi very satisfied, and he had poured a lot of effort into him.
These two expressed their happiness directly, and the others also felt somewhat relieved.
If they couldn't completely brainwash Orochimaru, they certainly wouldn't have agreed to Jiraiya's request.
But if Jiraiya insisted on doing it, it would be hard to settle things in the end.
Seeing the two of them looking so happy, Ye Chen suddenly threw a bucket of cold water on them:
"However, I must warn you first."
"Unlike erasing memories, if you wish for me to change Orochimaru's personality,"
"Then the Orochimaru with the changed personality will likely not be the Orochimaru in your memories anymore."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
The system had just given Ye Chen a special reminder.
If Orochimaru's personality were to be reshaped, then all of Orochimaru's memories would have to be disrupted and reorganized to perfectly adapt to the new personality.
So, would an Orochimaru with a reshaped personality and tampered memories still be Orochimaru?
In his previous life, Ye Chen had heard of a very philosophical question: There was a ship that was very old, and during its voyages, the sailors had to replace the old hull with new materials.
Over the years, all parts of the ship were replaced with new materials. Was this ship still the same ship as before?
By the same token, a person is a carrier of memories.
A person's memories from childhood to adulthood shape everything about them, from personality to habits to hobbies to thoughts.
If you change things from the source, the entire memory will become unrecognizable.
At that point, this person would be completely different from the original person.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Jiraiya felt faintly uneasy.
Could Orochimaru turn into another person? Jiraiya didn't react for a moment.
"Lord Jiraiya, what this gentleman means is,"
"If we make this wish, Orochimaru might become another person."
"Although his name would still be Orochimaru and his appearance would be exactly the same,"
"After both his personality and memories are changed, Orochimaru will become a completely new person."
"He will no longer be the person in your memories."
Nara Shikaku kindly explained to Jiraiya.
"Huh?"
"But, how can Orochimaru become someone else?"
"This, I don't quite understand."
Jiraiya couldn't wrap his head around it, and a confused expression appeared on his face.
"I understand."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and took a puff from his pipe:
"Simply put, if Orochimaru's personality is reshaped, then Orochimaru's memories must also be changed."
"A kind Orochimaru would not be interested in human experimentation."
"And because of his personality, the choices he makes throughout his life, big and small, would certainly be different."
"In this way, another completely different set of memories would be formed."
"And an Orochimaru with these memories is naturally not that Orochimaru."
