Orochimaru’s Magic Lamp

  Chapter 239 Something's up

   "..."

   Taking the glass specimen out of the microscope, Orochimaru put him in the sample cabinet, marking it as '030'.

  Beside it, there are primary cells, leukocytes, and cells of Zhi Shui and others.

   Needless to say the former two, in the latter, after undergoing physical enhancement surgery, cell samples are left here.

   In duplicate, before and after surgery.

   Even with these controls, it took him months to find the gene sequence that makes the cells lignify.

   Staring at the experimental reagent, Orochimaru's eyes were blurred and fiery, "Next, we can try the method of gene fusion."

  From the biological level, the previous cell fusion is essentially a kind of law of the jungle.

  Whether it is the fusion solution or the nutrient solution, these things are simulating the living environment of the primitive ocean, allowing cells to phagocytose each other, reintegrating genetic material, and forming new individual cells.

  This approach is relatively rough, and its success depends on whether new cells and old cells can coexist peacefully, or form a relatively stable state.

  Gene fusions are different.

   To put it simply, it is to cut out the determined gene fragment and inject it into the body.

  This way of fusion is more thorough, and with the body cells as the home field, it is safer.

   The disadvantage is that it is very likely that it will not be effective, and it will be directly digested and swallowed as nutrients.

  If it wasn't for Baijue but normal humans were eroded by the sacred tree, the two are largely similar, and they are not unrelated species, Orochimaru would not adopt this method.

   "Next, it's time to continue the verification."

  Oshemaru thought over and over again, and continued to improve the details of the experiment.

  …

  The sun and the moon rotate, and time passes.

  Day and night alternated outside the cave, but Orochimaru stayed in the underground laboratory of the samurai residence, never leaving.

  He did not carry out human experiments in full swing. On the contrary, the operation cycle became longer and longer, from six operations a day at the beginning to one operation in six days later.

  Of course, with the continuous improvement of gene fusion, the success rate is also increasing, especially in the last ten, only two failed.

  This probability made the warriors very excited, which was completely different from the previous fear.

  After gaining a strong resilience, they formed a small group and began to operate in the country of iron.

  First, the villagers who were dissatisfied with the rebellious Ninja rule of Kirigakure were brought to the Nation of Fire.

   Kirigakure is good at reconnaissance and sneak attack, but Iron Country was a village of samurai after all, here, they are fighting away instead.

   Needless to say the terrain, the samurai have worked hard for hundreds of years to defend the country, using various small methods such as secret roads and caves, so that they can be said to be elusive, exhausting each other.

  A group of former officers and soldiers turned to bandits and robbers, but they were very proficient.

  The samurai are very motivated, and they want to drive them out when the Kirigakure Rebellion is not yet firmly established in the Iron Country.

  Including the leader of the samurai, Mifune, they all believe that with the current situation, there is a high probability that they will be able to regain the Iron Country.

   But reality hit them head-on.

   "...The two samurai squads were wiped out, and none of them escaped?"

   Mifune frowned, his expression didn't change much, but his heart was bleeding.

  The number of samurai who have successfully performed the transplant operation is only 33 until now, and the 8 samurai is a quarter, 40 million taels.

   "Have you found out, who did it?"

  Samurai Chongsuke shook his head, his resolute face was full of depression, "We are short of manpower, and the other party also dealt with the scene without leaving too many traces."

   Mifune pondered for a moment, and ordered, "Ask Konoha for help and ask them to help find out the cause and effect. Before that, temporarily stop the harassment."

  No matter who they are, being able to wipe out two fearless samurai squads without leaving a trace is beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas. With limited manpower right now, such a loss cannot happen again.

   "Yes!" Samurai Chongsuke nodded in response, and strode towards the door.

  At this time, a pale and cold man walked in.

  The samurai Chongsuke hurriedly paused, turned sideways and greeted, "Your Excellency Orochimaru!"

  Oshemaru kept walking, glanced at him, then turned to Mifune, and asked, "How long has it been since I entered the ground?"

   Mifune was slightly taken aback, and said immediately, "About three months."

   So long?

  Oshemaru nodded slightly, and said slowly, "Do you still need surgery and transplantation? Today is the last day."

   "Please trouble your Excellency, there is no need to perform surgery."

   Mifune refused with a wry smile.

   It wasn’t that he didn’t want to perform the operation, nor was it that he lacked people, it was that he didn’t have enough funds, especially after attracting many villagers to the Land of Fire.

   If you really want to say, there is indeed a lot of money left, but every penny has been used.

   Hearing what Mifune said, Orochimaru didn't hesitate, got up and left the samurai's residence.

  …

  In the Hokage room, a meeting was held after a long absence.

  Third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi smoked his pipe, looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday, two samurai teams were wiped out in the Iron Country."

  As soon as this remark came out, there was some commotion on the conference table.

  The patriarchs of the Ninja clan looked at each other in blank dismay.

  They are well aware of the current strength of that group of warriors.

   Orochimaru grandiosely moved into the samurai's residence and conducted human experiments. There is no concealment at all, and basically everything that should be known is known.

  If it weren’t for being frightened by the high death rate at the beginning, maybe the ninja patriarchs present here have already jointly proposed to lift the ban on Orochimaru’s physical strengthening surgery.

  The torso has no vital points and has strong resilience. They can't understand how much this will improve the ninja's combat effectiveness.

  But now, eight such warriors were directly wiped out without even getting the news out, which is really unimaginable.

  The ninja patriarch present thought to himself that he did not have this strength, even Uchiha Fugaku thought so.

  Unless you use illusion to control the opponent's eight in an instant, so as not to give the opponent a chance to escape.

   But the conditions are too harsh, even Kaleidoscope Sharingan may not be able to do it.

  Ban Zhuan Xiaochun frowned, "Ri Zhan, what exactly happened?"

  Third Dai did not answer directly, but took out a stack of papers from the pile of documents, and spread them on the table casually.

   Everyone looked intently, their faces changing slightly.

   These are reward orders for rebellion.

  Taki Ninja Village's Rebellious Katotsu, Sand Hidden Village's Rebellious Scorpion, Wuyin Village's Rebellious Nin... Except Yunyin Village, every ninja village has its own rebellious ninja.

   "We have been busy fighting wars these years, and neglected to strangle and rebel."

  Three generations glanced at everyone, "But someone didn't forget, he gathered these guys together."
