Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Leaf.

Research building.

"Minister Orochimaru."

"It's been so long!"

Fugaku Uchiha extended his hand, a smile on his face.

Not to be outdone, Hiashi Hyuga nodded in greeting as well.

Orochimaru was dumbfounded.

These two arrogant and domineering patriarchs are actually being so polite to him?

Chiba pulled over a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.

Orochimaru.

"I'll give you two assignments."

"First, we need to address the issue of blindness caused by overuse of the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan."

Upon hearing this...

Fugaku Uchiha's breathing instantly became rapid.

He stared intently at Orochimaru, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Minister Orochimaru."

"As long as this problem can be solved."

"The Uchiha clan's funds and resources are at your disposal!"

Orochimaru swallowed hard, his mind racing with calculations.

"The Yin Release chakra of the Kaleidoscope is too immense, putting pressure on the optic nerve..."

"Theoretically, it's entirely feasible to neutralize it by introducing Yang Release chakra from Wood Release cells!"

Chiba snapped his fingers.

"clever."

"I have the most perfect Wood Release cell sample here, the kind that has absolutely no rejection reaction."

Orochimaru suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Chiba.

Perfect interstitial cells?

How many babies died back then because he created the flawed Yamato?

Chiba actually has a perfect sample?

Right.

Chiba is a member of the Senju clan and has awakened Wood Release.

Chiba now is a new ninja god.

For Chiba, Wood Release cells were nothing.

"second."

Chiba pointed at Hyuga Hiashi.

"Study the evolutionary path of white eyes."

Hiashi Hyuga trembled all over, almost kneeling down in excitement.

The evolution of the white eye!

This is something that no one in the Hyuga clan has dared to even dream of for thousands of years!

"Byakugan...evolution?"

Orochimaru's thirst for knowledge was completely ignited.

He circled Hyuga Hiashi twice, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"The Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"As a dojutsu of the same level, the Byakugan shouldn't only be this weak."

"In theory."

"When the purity of the Byakugan reaches its peak, it can evolve into an ultimate eye technique called the Tenseigan."

"Don't ask me how I know."

"You only need to know this!"

Chiba dropped a bombshell.

He cannot disclose information about the Otsutsuki clan yet.

Mentioning the Tenseigan was merely to make them take the Byakugan seriously.

"The Tenseigan?"

Orochimaru and Hiashi Hyuga exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Orochimaru was so excited that he trembled all over.

This is real research!

This is the path to finding the truth!

In contrast.

His previous research was nothing but tinkering!

"Lord Hokage."

"I need their blood, hair, and even slices of their optic nerve!"

Orochimaru immediately got to work and took out a scalpel.

Without saying a word, Fugaku Uchiha rolled up his sleeves.

"Take mine! Take as many as you want!"

"If all else fails, I'll dig out a three-tomoe gem for you to use as a base!"

Hiashi Hyuga was getting anxious.

"Minister Orochimaru."

"You can choose any branch family of the Hyuga clan."

"As long as it doesn't endanger lives, feel free to conduct the research!"

Orochimaru held the syringe, feeling as if he were dreaming.

In the past, if he wanted to obtain Sharingan, he had to risk being hunted down by the entire Uchiha clan by digging up graves.

Now, the clan chief is lining up to have his blood drawn, and he's even worried that he won't draw enough.

What kind of bewitching potion did Hokage Chiba give them?

This Konoha Village is insane.

but.

He likes it so much!

The days to come /

Orochimaru completely immersed himself in a state of frenzied scientific research.

The fifth floor of the Konoha Science Research Department became the most heavily guarded place in the entire village.

There were no financial constraints, and no moral constraints.

There were no secret agents chasing after them every day.

Orochimaru unleashed an astonishing level of research efficiency.

A month later.

Inside the laboratory, various instruments emitted regular beeping sounds.

Orochimaru was wearing a neat white coat.

His eyes were covered in dark circles from staying up all night, but he was extremely excited.

"Chief Fugaku, how are you feeling?"

In front of a precision instrument.

Fugaku Uchiha had his eyes closed, with various detection electrodes attached around his eye sockets.

His chakra fluctuations are forming complex curves on the screen.

"Cool and refreshing, very comfortable."

Fugaku slowly opened his eyes.

The scarlet kaleidoscope pattern spun in his eyes.

In the past, whenever I turned on the kaleidoscope, my eyes would feel a stinging pain like being pricked by needles.

But now, that stinging sensation has almost completely disappeared.

"That's amazing."

Orochimaru looked at the data on the screen, his tongue involuntarily licking his lips.

"The perfect Wood Release cells provided by Lord Chiba have an absurdly high activity level, yet are extremely gentle."

"Yang Release chakra is continuously repairing the damaged optic nerve."

He walked to the culture tank, where a lump of meat was soaking.

That was the product of fusing Fugaku's cells with perfect Wood Release cells.

"Minister Orochimaru!"

"So, the problem of blindness is solved?"

Fugaku suddenly stood up and grabbed Orochimaru's hand.

The dignified head of the Uchiha clan was as excited as a child at this moment.

Don't get too excited yet.

"Currently, it's only a preliminary fusion, and we've created an injectable eye nutrient solution."

"It can relieve fatigue and slow down the rate of blindness."

"To completely solve this problem, we need to perform gene-level recombination, which requires a lot of data computation."

Orochimaru withdrew his hand in disgust.

"How long will it take?"

"Uchiha Fugaku asked eagerly."

"Three months."

"As long as Lord Chiba's cell supply continues."

"Within three months, I'll give you a pair of kaleidoscopes that will never go blind."

Orochimaru held up three fingers.

"good!"

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes were red.

The curse of the Uchiha clan is finally about to end in his hands!

the other side.

Hiashi Hyuga, wearing thick goggles, was walking out of the hyperbaric chamber.

He was covered in sweat, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Minister Orochimaru."

"The viewing distance for white eyes has definitely increased!"

Orochimaru turned around and tossed a towel to Hiashi.

"Through high-pressure chakra stimulation, the dormant recessive genes inside the Byakugan were activated."

"However, the Tenseigan that Lord Chiba mentioned requires an enormous qualitative change in chakra."

"Ordinary Byakugan simply cannot withstand that level of chakra."

"Clan Chief Hiashi, if you wish to reach the threshold of the Tenseigan..."

"Your family's white eye needs to be refined at least three more times."

Orochimaru walked to the blackboard and quickly wrote down a long string of formulas.

"How do you purify it?"

Hiashi Hyuga clenched his fist.

"I happen to have some experience with gene purification technology."

"However, the process will be extremely painful, and people might even die."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly.

"As long as it makes the Hyuga clan stronger."

"What does it matter if I die!"

Hiashi Hyuga agreed without hesitation.

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction.

Such a cooperative experimental subject is simply the ultimate dream of scientific researchers.

The laboratory door was pushed open.

Chiba walked in carrying two cups of hot coffee.

"Is it going well?"

Orochimaru took the coffee and inhaled its aroma deeply.

"Lord Chiba."

"Your wisdom is even more profound than that of the gods."

"The data from the perfect Wood Release cells allowed me to fill all the gaps in my previous experiments."

Chiba leaned against the lab bench and took a sip of coffee.

"This is just the beginning."

"After the Kaleidoscope and Eye Roll projects are over, I have a few more interesting things for you to play with."

Orochimaru's eyes shone like two searchlights.

"I'm really looking forward to it."
