Chapter 64 Edo Tensei and the Divine Machine Version of Animus
"Huh? You mean Shenji?"

Zhuge Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at Reed Hellick with some curiosity.

"That's right!"

Reed Hellick snapped his fingers and continued,
"Based on the information I obtained from the Assassin Organization regarding the Animus."

The core principle of that thing is probably very similar to the concept of "Divine Mechanism"!

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Orochimaru also became interested and asked with some curiosity.

"The key to the ability of the animus to read ancestral memories in DNA lies in the technology of the Isu people, the so-called 'forefathers'."

The Isu people's DNA has a unique triple helix structure, which gives them a 'sixth sense' that humans do not possess.

It was precisely through this sense that the Isu people were able to develop a level of technology far beyond their time. Almost all of their creations were built upon this special sense.

This is why, in the original Assassin's Creed novels, many Isu creations can only be activated by modern humans who have inherited Isu blood.

Reed Hellick explained.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing and Orochimaru nodded, noting that the development of science and technology often depends on the level of human cognition.

Just as before the invention of the microscope, humans could not fully imagine the microscopic world, and naturally could not propose related theories.

Given that the Ishu people possess a sixth sense, a kind of extrasensory perception, it's understandable that they could develop such advanced technology...

"Based on my analysis of the incomplete data I have obtained so far, the internal workings of the Ishu people's high-tech creations are very similar to the core mechanisms of some of the machines created by the [Divine Machine]."

Simply put, they all involve constructing unique and sophisticated energy circulation channels internally…

Reed Hellick continued.

"interesting……"

Zhuge Qing stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"So, does that mean Animus is a creation similar to a divine machine?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes shining even brighter.

The Naruto world also has similar magical artifacts, such as the Six Paths Ninja Tools borrowed from Journey to the West.

If the technology of the Isu people is similar to that of the Divine Machine, then there is a possibility that their technology could be replicated...

"That's one way to understand it! Different energies operate according to different rules and can achieve different effects."

If there are specific patterns and they can be reproduced, then that's the realm of science..."

Reed Hellick smiled and continued.

And so began a technological project spanning three worlds.

After being rescued by the Assassins, Reed Herik quickly gained their initial trust by virtue of his "victim" status in Abstergo and his related knowledge, and joined the Assassins as a technical expert.

Zhuge Qing then plunged into a deeper exploration of the [Divine Mechanism], in conjunction with the analysis of Yishu Technology.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru began collecting information about magical artifacts within the Naruto world.

Fortunately, he did find quite a few, mainly in the Senju family's library, which contained many notes left by the second generation.

After that came the crazy, grueling experimentation phase.

Fortunately, Orochimaru has no shortage of money right now.

Since the cosmetics business has already been established, funding is naturally not a problem.

Danzo's side basically gave him whatever he wanted and gave him the green light all the way in order to win him over.

The only real headache is that he severely lacks qualified researchers. Tsunade and Hiruko's main focus remains on the innovation and promotion of medical ninjutsu, and they have to learn the entirely new knowledge system of "Divine Mechanism" from scratch, so they can't count on anyone for that in the short term.

As for Danzo's "root"?
Besides murder, arson, and conspiracies, expecting that group to do scientific research is like hoping pigs can fly.

In the original work, after decades of acquiring so many Sharingan and Hashirama cells, all they ended up with were a few more pairs of Sharingan. Moreover, the only successful case of transplanting Hashirama cells was Yamato, which was done by Orochimaru before his defection.

This is enough to demonstrate the research and development capabilities of the Root organization...

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Given the current environment, ninjas are primarily trained in combat skills, so it would be strange to find even a few people with scientific literacy.

Most of these talented individuals are among ordinary people, but the problem is that ordinary people cannot control chakra, this kind of energy.

With no other option, Orochimaru could only rely on the Shadow Clone Technique to hold on for the time being.

He had already made up his mind that once the Impure World Reincarnation technique was fully perfected, the first thing he would do was to resurrect the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have this master of forbidden techniques and scientist of the ninja world serve him like a slave?
After all, the body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique is immortal and tireless, so working around the clock on research is no problem at all!

During this time, some minor incidents also occurred.

Because of Orochimaru and Jiraiya's amazing performance in the Chunin Exams, coupled with their status as "disciples of the Third Hokage," the two became highly sought-after figures in Konoha.

Many ninja clans have heard of this and are eager to recruit them.

After all, both of them were orphans and commoner ninjas, making them perfect candidates for marriage into each other's families.

The most outrageous are the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

These two powerful families specializing in ocular techniques actually sent people to subtly suggest that they were willing to marry their outstanding female members to Orochimaru, hoping to make him their son-in-law.

Orochimaru naturally declined all invitations, citing that he was currently focused on ninjutsu research and was not considering personal matters at the moment.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about this, Jiraiya publicly expressed his envy, saying things like, "Why don't the young ladies from those big families come to me?" and "I'm not bad looking either." Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade punched him and sent him flying, leaving him bruised and swollen in Konoha Hospital for a week.

Since then, Tsunade would occasionally take Orochimaru to Konoha Hospital to discuss some difficult medical ninjutsu problems.

After a while, they actually managed to come up with a few new medical ninjutsu techniques that were quite effective, which was a pleasant surprise.

And so, time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

After countless failures and adjustments, Orochimaru finally succeeded in creating a "Naruto version of the Animus".

The experimental results proved his initial conjecture.

Chakra does indeed record complete physiological information and fragments of soul information about an individual.

This is why the Shadow Clone Technique can easily create physical clones with independent thought and complete abilities.

The machine he created can read the information stored in chakra through specific techniques and instruments, filter and organize it, and then directly affect the user's senses through a method similar to illusion, allowing the user to experience the original owner's memory fragments as if they were there.

The only, and most fatal, side effect is the bleeding effect.

Perhaps due to the unique nature of chakra itself, as well as the complexity and instability of fragments of soul information, users will face a "bleeding effect" far exceeding that experienced by animus users in the Assassin's Creed world when reading these memories.

In mild cases, it can cause mental confusion and temporary identity impairment; in severe cases, it can lead to mental disorder, complete loss of consciousness in other people's memories, or even insanity!

Therefore, currently, only Orochimaru can use this machine.

Because he can synchronize his memories with those of "himself" in other worlds, he can forcibly anchor his own consciousness in this way and resist the intense erosion of memories.

This experiment, of course, was also conducted on himself.

The good news is that, thanks to this machine, he successfully read and "experienced" a lot of knowledge.

His combat experience, understanding and application of various ninjutsu were increasing rapidly, and his speed of strength improvement was terrifying.

More importantly, after deeply analyzing the chakra information of these different individuals and "personally experiencing" this feeling, Orochimaru finally figured out how to stably activate and control chakra fragments that were not his own.

In other words, the final piece of the puzzle for the Impure World Reincarnation technique is finally complete!
