And the influence of the Otsutsuki bloodline on various bloodline limits in the ninja world...
"Bloodline limits are both a gift from heaven and an inescapable curse."
Orochimaru said with emotion.
"The next experiment will require the two of you to work together with all your might."
Kawasaki also offered his own ideas on how to stabilize the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if Itachi could achieve it by transplanting a relative's Mangekyou Sharingan.
But now that Zhishui is all alone and has no blood relatives, we have to consider the second option – implanting interstitial cells.
Orochimaru had other plans. He wanted to try injecting Yang Release chakra directly to see what changes it would bring to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, I've never tried infusing chakra into it before.
With only two live experimental subjects available, Orochimaru needs to rethink how to proceed.
His previous plans and research topics were all overturned and started over.
His pursuit of power is no longer solely about acquiring the Sharingan.
His ambitions grew ever larger.
Orochimaru quickly got to work, dumping all the affairs of the Sound Village onto Kabuto.
Kabuto was often busy helping Orochimaru with his experiments and was unable to spare the time to do so.
After all, the Shadow Clone Technique is useless for such a delicate task as scientific research.
Once the shadow clone disappears, the massive amount of medical data can cause the brain to crash instantly, requiring several days of rest to recover.
The Uchiha clan members brought by Itachi and Shisui quickly solved the manpower shortage problem in Otogakure.
The Third Elder, Takuya, quickly took over Kabuto's administrative duties in Otogakure, allowing Kabuto to assist Orochimaru for an extended period.
The Third Elder, Uchiha Takuya, finally had his long-cherished wish fulfilled.
Although the Sound Village is not large now, it is enough for him to indulge in the desire for power.
Kabuto had no interest in power; his purpose in Otogakure was to assist Orochimaru.
To him, Orochimaru was his boss, his brother, and his family.
He would do anything to help Lord Orochimaru.
Itachi and Shisui worked with Orochimaru every day, treating themselves as experimental subjects.
If it weren't for their absolute faith in Kotoamatsukami, Itachi and Shisui would have been truly afraid of being dissected by Orochimaru.
...
The new Uchiha settlement.
"My lord, the ninja cat has sent a message."
Qiming entered with the message.
Qiming's older brother Yaoyue's summoned beast is also a ninja cat.
By using the summoning technique, Yaoyue, who is tracking Itachi, can quickly transmit information to Qiming.
Kawasaki unfolded the scroll and saw that Orochimaru had already begun studying Itachi's body.
Itachi should have regained his balance.
The next step is development.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for significantly altering Kabuto Yakushi's life trajectory.]
Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Palm Cultivation Technique x1
Kawasaki raised an eyebrow. Was it not Sage Mode?
"Kawasaki-sama!"
At that moment, another Uchiha clansman entered.
"News has arrived from the third generation."
What's the Third Hokage up to?
Kawasaki opened it with a puzzled look, then chuckled softly.
Danzo is really a troublemaker. He became a pariah in Konoha because of the incident where he gouged out Shisui's eyes.
They could only stay at home or in the Root area, and dared not even set foot in the Hokage Building.
Undeterred, he set his sights on Uchiha Hadou once again.
Chapter 39: Prospering Day by Day, Insects Approaching, Surprise Attack!
However, the Third Hokage was no pushover either. He outwardly showed goodwill towards the Uchiha, but in reality, he was plotting something else entirely.
Danzo's power grew, and the Third Hokage was already finding it difficult to control him.
The Uchiha clan drifted further and further away from the village, mainly because they possessed the fighting power of two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, which the Third Hokage could not match.
Therefore, whether Danzo or the Uchiha clan suffers a loss, it is beneficial to the Third Hokage.
Now, the Uchiha can gradually ignore the movements of Konoha, as long as the development of the Land of Rice Fields gets on the right track.
The common people of the Uchiha clan no longer need to rely on Konoha.
"Issue the order: all Uchiha Guard units will switch to two-team parallel patrols for security duties."
"All members of the clan who have awakened their eyes are not allowed to go out alone. All missions in Konoha are suspended. They should rest and recuperate together in the clan territory."
These powers have been handed over to Kawasaki by Fugaku, who is clearly grooming him as his successor.
Kawasaki stood up and patted Qiming on the shoulder: "Danzo is still eyeing our Sharingan. If we don't have enough manpower, we'll ask Fugaku for some. And we need to get the barrier team sorted out quickly."
"Yes, Captain!"
Qiming's eyes were unwavering.
I will protect my family!
In the days that followed, the Third Hokage restarted peace talks with Kumogakure.
The Hidden Cloud Village had previously adopted a tough stance and repeatedly tested the Leaf Village.
However, with the strong support of the Uchiha clan, Kumogakure became outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
They couldn't win in a fight, and they couldn't afford to drag things out, so they could only let Konoha control them.
Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was originally there to support them, but he ended up being beaten up and hospitalized, becoming a hostage.
They suffered greatly during the peace talks, paying compensation of up to 300 million, and were even forced to transfer some of their scientific research technology to Konoha.
Although it's not the latest technology, it's something that's rarely seen by the outside world.
The Third Hokage dared not keep all the materials to himself, so he made a copy of all the materials and sent it to Uchiha Kawasaki.
...
Merchants in Konoha's Eighth Street found it rather strange today, as all the Uchiha guards were traveling in groups of eight.
Whether on patrol or enforcing the law, the eight men were always by his side.
Fortunately, the shops on the street had long been subdued by the Uchiha, so there were very few troublemakers.
The Uchiha's patrol only attracted some curious glances.
Danzo felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat; before he could even make a move, his path had been blocked.
"Don't those Uchiha ever get alone?!"
"Reporting to the Lord, all Uchiha clan members who have awakened their Sharingan are currently acting in groups, and there have been no instances of groups of four or fewer."
The subordinate, Ji Tu, reported in a low voice.
Recently, Danzo not only implanted the Sharingan into his right eye, but also used the remaining two for experiments.
He wanted to figure out exactly how to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, they gained nothing. If the Mangekyou Sharingan could be easily cracked, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be in their current predicament.
Now, the Shimura clan is implicated because of him, and their cooperation with other ninja clans has been interrupted.
With no profit to be made by the Shimura clan, their financial situation became even more strained.
In addition, the Third Hokage reduced his expenses in response to past events.
This led to the stagnation of many experiments.
Kawasaki's display of the power of the Kaleidoscope at the Hyuga family had made Danzo covet it.
However, the Sharingan reserves are now exhausted.
Danzo then turned his attention to the Uchiha's guards.
Before Danzo could make a move, the Uchiha clan, as if they had foreseen it, all became more vigilant.
"Where did the news leak out?"
Danzo's gaze darkened. After much thought, he concluded that it must be that old fox, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Only the Third Hokage could command a large number of Anbu members and was most familiar with the happenings in Konoha.
They used to be very affectionate towards me when I was useful, but now that they see my power growing, they suppress me in every way.
"Let's go check around the Uchiha settlement and see if there's any opportunity to take advantage of it."
Ji Tu worriedly said, "Isn't this too risky? Even the Hokage's Anbu can't get into the Uchiha settlement now."
Danzo smiled confidently: "That was because the Third Hokage was coerced by Kawasaki. The Uchiha settlement is so big, could Kawasaki defend it all by himself?"
"Too many people are not safe. Let Aburame Ryoma go and see if there is any opportunity."
Ji Tu felt a little panicked: "My lord, Aburame Ryoma has already been imprisoned in the dungeon by the third generation."
"You secretly let him out and tell him that his illness can be cured, on the condition that he helps me capture an Uchiha."
Despite his reluctance to see Ryoma Aburame again, Mito reluctantly agreed, "Yes!"
...
Deep inside the dungeon.
