Chapter 253 Otsutsuki Clone, Orochimaru Reappears

Research base.

Genichi looked down at the experimental data under the tree.

Kabuto, standing to the side, explained helplessly, "This is the third experiment, but the same problem still exists."

"There is currently no way to find the cause; this kind of genetic mutation is really difficult to resolve."

Genichi looked up and smiled reassuringly, "Human genes are inherently very complex and mysterious. An individual's genes alone are already extremely complex, and this clone can be said to have combined the genes of four people. It's perfectly normal for errors to occur when we forcibly fused them together."

Dou nodded: "That's true, but it's still a bit of a shame."

"This clone's physical potential far surpasses that of other clones, but it only has a one-year lifespan."

Genichi Kishita thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's due to the influence of the feminization technology..."

He considered for a moment and said, "Next, let's try combining Otsutsuki cells and Uchiha Madara's cells. Hmm, let's avoid using cell feminization induction technology."

After thinking for a moment, Dou nodded: "Understood!"

"So, Lord Xuan, what should we do with this clone?"

Shuxia Xuanyi said, "Leave the cell samples as research material, and hand the clones over to Bai Jue for processing."

He nodded.

As Genichi walked out from under the tree, Kabuto quickly followed and reported, "Lord Genichi, I plan to perform my first Reincarnation of a Corpse soon."

Genichi under the tree raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Not bad. Which clone do you plan to use for your first reincarnation?"

Kabuto said, "The Otsutsuki clone is the one with the strongest bloodline among all the clones so far."

Xuan nodded under the tree: "Okay."

The Otsutsuki clone is actually a clone cultured by combining Otsutsuki Toneri cells and Hinata cells.

Possessing the powerful bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, he was born with the Byakugan.

However, whether one can awaken the Tenseigan depends on the individual and cannot be obtained from birth.

As for the clones that Genichi Shushita just looked at, they are the product of a further combination of the Otsutsuki clone and the Hashirama clone.

However, after three consecutive cultures, the gene expression mutated, resulting in a significantly shortened lifespan.

Clones only live for one year!
If the puppet reincarnation technique is used to control it, its survival time will definitely be even shorter, and its value will be extremely low.

After all, they can't wait for the clones to mature.

After parting ways with Kabuto, Genichi Kishita arrived at the Ten-Tails' arm research laboratory, where his puppet clones were busy at work. Among them was an Otsutsuki clone with Byakugan and Tenseigan.

After carefully reviewing the recent experimental research data and gaining a clear understanding, Genichi Kishita did not linger and went straight to Konoha Hospital after leaving the experimental base.

This was arranged with Tsunade.

"Let's see!"

Upon arriving at Tsunade's laboratory, Genichi Kishita was immediately handed a document.

After quickly glancing at it, Genichi looked up at Tsunade and said, "It's an immune system problem caused by a genetic defect, so there's no cure."

Tsunade nodded: "You could say it's a bloodline disease."

"With the awakening of the bloodline limit, even a double lung transplant will not help, and the disease will continue."

"The last attempt to treat it through a bone marrow transplant also failed."

Under the tree, Genichi asked, "Are you from the Moonlight Clan?"

Tsunade nodded: "The transplantation of White Zetsu cells has been temporarily suspended. We have carefully evaluated the situation, and considering Kimimaro's previous condition, a cure is still not possible."

"It now appears that there is a certain probability of harmful gene mutations occurring in bloodline limits."

As she spoke, Tsunade frowned slightly.

Genichi Shushita could tell at a glance that she was worried about the children, so he quickly reassured her, "The probability of that is extremely small. Chishu and the others will definitely be fine."

One sentence couldn't dispel Tsunade's lingering worries, so she pondered, "Xuan Yi, is there any possibility that the gene editing you proposed before will succeed?"

Under the tree, Xuan Yi said, "It is indeed a feasible direction."

"The technical challenge lies in first identifying the target gene."

"Secondly, could editing out genes cause a second mutation?"

Currently, even with the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) that was studied first, Kimimaro's problem has not yet been solved.

"The technology will continue to be developed, but there is no good solution at the moment."

Genichi Shushita pondered for a moment and said, "Bloodline disease might be something we can address by looking at the bloodline limit itself."

Tsunade asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Genichi Shuxia said, "Use the bloodline limit to compensate for genetic defects."

"The human body is very adaptable. Bloodline limit changes to genes are mostly benign, but they can also cause bad mutations, which can lead to bloodline diseases."

"Perhaps this mutation can be offset by a second bloodline limit, or even by upgrading the bloodline limit to bloodline elimination to make up for the genetic defect."

"Of course, this is just an idea that has not been verified."

Tsunade shook her head: "Developing bloodline limits is extremely difficult, and it's impossible to determine which bloodline limit can counteract the mutated undesirable genes."

"Bloodline elimination may or may not work, and it may even make bloodline diseases more serious."

"Let's stick with gene editing!"

"At present, the only option is to have Moonlight Gale undergo a double lung transplant to alleviate his condition."

“One replacement can support him for at least three years, ensuring that he will not be affected by the illness during these three years.”

Shushita Gen nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Orochimaru is more proficient in genetics, so I'll revive him!"

"It's good that Rope Tree can continue to be taught by him."

Tsunade asked in surprise, "Use the Rinnegan?"

Shuxia Xuanyi laughed and said, "No!"

"He had already prepared a backup plan."

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it related to that Sage Art Seal?"

Genichi immediately gave a thumbs up.

Tsunade scoffed, "This guy never researches things that aren't useful to him."

"It's only human nature!"

Genichi under the tree offered a small defense, then said, "I'll go talk to Gekko Hayate."

After saying that, he waved and left the laboratory.

Tsunade didn't mind and turned around to continue with her own business.

……

In the ward.

Moonlight Gale sat on the bed, stretching his arms and loosening his muscles.

I've been lying in bed for too long and my whole body is itchy.

However, since the double lung transplant has not been fully recovered, strenuous exercise should be avoided.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Moonlight Gale stopped what he was doing: "Come in."

Xuan Yi pushed open the door and entered from under the tree. Moonlight Gale exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Xuan Yi!"

Gekko Hayate tried to get up, but was pressed down by Genichi Shushita from a distance, leaving him unable to move while sitting on the bed.

"Sit still."

Genichi looked at Gekko Hayate, who seemed to be in good spirits, and smiled, "Looks like you've recovered quite well."

Moonlight Gale nodded: "Yes, he can be discharged from the hospital in a few days to begin rehabilitation training."

"Lady Tsunade said that it should take about ten days to recover."

Genichi under the tree nodded and asked, "Swift Wind, regarding the Transparent Escape technique, do you know which two nature transformations fused together to form your bloodline limit?"

Moonlight Gale nodded: "I've heard my dad mention it; it's Yang Escape and Yin Escape."

If he hadn't learned it from his elders, he truly wouldn't have known the origin of the ability to escape.

Because this was not something he cultivated himself, but rather a bloodline awakening, and because it is related to the physical body, the moment the bloodline limit is awakened, the chakra that is refined is the Transparent Release Chakra.

Instead of first refining two nature transformations and then fusing them to form a new Transparent Nature Transformation Chakra.

This is similar to ocular powers, which are a type of eye technique. Therefore, one may master a bloodline limit, but may not know what kind of changes and fusions the bloodline limit is formed from.

Xuan Yi under the Transcendent Tree had also studied this, and said to Gekko Hayate, "Your bloodline disease cannot be cured for the time being because it is a genetic problem, and current technology is not sufficient to solve this kind of deep-seated problem."

"Of course, timely replacement of both lungs will not affect your combat effectiveness or lifespan."

It's only because the technology is good enough now, otherwise Moonlight Gale would inevitably have dark circles under his eyes and look sickly afterward.

As a special Jonin, Hayate Gekko was able to fight on equal terms with Sunagakure Jonin Maki, demonstrating that his talent and strength are not lacking.

It's a pity his health isn't up to par, otherwise his potential would be even higher.

It's important to know that Moonlight Gale's ability to conceal himself is extremely strong.

Genichi Kishita felt that Mu's stealth ability was comparable to that of the Second Tsuchikage, far surpassing that of the Jonin from Iwagakure who knew how to hide.

Therefore, he offered a suggestion: "Swiftwind, you could consider taking your penetration technique to the next level."

"If we could achieve bloodline elimination, it might be possible to eliminate bloodline diseases and make up for genetic deficiencies."

Moonlight Gale was shocked: "Bloodline Elimination!"

Genichi under the tree nodded: "Bloodline elimination, I won't go into the basics."

"You can give it a try, I believe in your talent."

"As for the direction, you should first read my 'Bloodline Essentials' and find inspiration from it."

Hayate Gekko said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I'm not a Jonin yet."

Genichi Shushita said indifferently, "I'll give you a bloodline elimination mission. Go and apply to the Fifth Hokage."

"Think about the direction of development first, and then ask me if you need anything."

"Hmm... You could also ask the Fifth Hokage, Kakashi, and the others for their experience in developing bloodline limits."

"The fusion of chakra nature transformations, although more difficult than two, is still based on the same principle."

Moonlight Gale nodded quickly: "I understand!"

He didn't have much confidence in himself, but he had confidence in Genichi Kinoshita.

……

After planting another seed, Genichi Kyo, after leaving Konoha Hospital, sensed the location of the red bean and set off.

Meatball shop.

Genichi Shushita sat down opposite the red bean eater, whose mouth was full of juice.

Hongdou was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "What brings you here, senior?"

"Want to eat?"

Red Bean reluctantly handed the last string of meatballs on the plate to Genichi Under the Tree.

Seeing her like this, Genichi Shushita shook his head helplessly: "You eat it yourself."

Red Bean didn't stand on ceremony and opened her mouth to continue eating.

As Genichi watched her eat with relish, he suddenly felt a little hungry for some himself.

After finishing her meal in one go, Hongdou asked with relief, "Is there something you need, Senior?"

"Go out and talk!"

As soon as Xuan stood up under the tree, Hongdou quickly followed.

The two arrived at a secluded grove of trees, where Xuan Yi stopped and pointed to Hong Dou's neck: "How is the curse mark?"

Hongdou subconsciously reached out and touched it, then smiled and said, "It's not acting up anymore, so it doesn't affect me much."

"However, does Senior see any problem?"

You'll find out soon enough.

Genichi Kishita didn't explain much. He first summoned the Otsutsuki clone and had it use the Cell Regeneration Technique to condense a cluster of cells to cover the cursed seal, which would then serve as a vessel for Orochimaru's resurrection.

Then he formed a hand seal and released the seal that sealed the evil spirits from the incantation.

When the seal was broken, a large white phosphorus serpent emerged from the cursed seal.

Hongdou's eyes widened, and her whole body stiffened.

Genichi Shushita took a few steps back and laughed, "Don't worry, it's just about reviving you, this unreliable teacher."

At that moment, the white phosphorus serpent opened its mouth, and Orochimaru crawled out: "Genichi-kun, I can hear you clearly."

Genichi Shushita said to himself, "If you were more reliable, Madara Uchiha wouldn't have been resurrected."

Orochimaru stood up: "For you, it's just a little trouble."

As he spoke, he turned to look at his beloved disciple and stuck out his tongue: "Red Bean, you've grown up so much!"

Indeed, the red bean is now seventeen or eighteen years old, with slender branches and abundant fruit.

Red Bean was unsure how to face Orochimaru, her once-respected teacher.

Genichi Shushita could tell, so he simply took Orochimaru away and disappeared from the spot.

Hongdou immediately relaxed her tense body, staggered and sat down on the ground, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.

Research base.

Genichi and Orochimaru appeared in the lounge.

"If I hadn't also studied the cursed seal and the resurrection technique, I'm afraid I would have had to use the Rinnegan to revive you."

Genichi Shushita lies without even blinking.

Orochimaru was startled: "Rinnegan... It seems your progress during this time has been quite astonishing!"

Genichi Shushita said, "I have already resurrected the Second Generation and Nawaki. Hmm, Kabuto has done a good job here and has basically mastered your Reanimation Jutsu."

Orochimaru was even more shocked: "Nawaki too..."

"Resurrecting the Rinnegan requires paying the price of one's life, right?"

"How did you do it? Did you also use the Reincarnation Technique?"

Genichi walked out from under the tree: "No, it's a technique developed based on your Undead Reincarnation."

"Of course, using the art of spiritification is also perfectly acceptable."

Orochimaru suddenly realized.

With a sufficiently powerful clone, it is indeed not difficult.

The news he just heard was a bit shocking, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

That kid, Rope Tree...

Orochimaru sorted out his thoughts and smiled, "Tsunade was right to choose you."

"Lord Xuanyi!"

Outside the door was White Zetsu A-Da.

Genichi Shushita said, "This is Orochimaru. Take him to Kabuto."

After giving his instructions, Genichi turned to Orochimaru and said, "I'll go back and take care of the children first. Kabuto will show you around the experimental base."

After saying that, he disappeared.

"With children?"

Orochimaru looked at White Zetsu: "The one Xuan Yi-jun is talking about, is it his child?"

Bai Jue A Da laughed and said, "Of course, Lord Xuan Yi already has three children."

"They are Lady Tsunade, Lady Ina, and Lady Yekura."

Orochimaru looked surprised upon hearing this, then chuckled.

Soon, White Zetsu brought Orochimaru to Kabuto.

Kabuto was extremely surprised when he saw Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, you..."

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Kabuto, it seems you don't know much about Genichi-kun!"

The embarrassment on his face vanished in an instant, and then he pushed up his glasses and laughed, "I did underestimate Lord Xuan's magnanimity again."

"However, Lord Orochimaru, you should be prepared, the results here will exceed your expectations."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue: "Oh? Then I'll have to wait and see."
