Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 397 Bane's Sharingan and Robin's Sharingan?

It has been some time since Bane transferred his spiritual power in the Pure Land, and the illusory moon in the sky has become even more ethereal as a result.

Every night, the crescent moon in the sky reflects a ghostly green light, making it appear somewhat transparent to the naked eye, like a real flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.

At this moment, they are deep inside a cave in Ryuchi-dong.

Orochimaru summoned Bane using the Grim Reaper mask.

Before long, the space inside the cave became slightly disordered, and then a crack between the Pure Land and the mortal world was gently parted, revealing a sufficiently wide window passage.

Bane stood on the side of the Pure Land, and asked with some curiosity, "Orochimaru? What's the matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jiuwei's furry head poked out of the window, curiously looking around.

Orochimaru was quite surprised upon seeing this and exclaimed, "The Nine-Tails!?"

"To be precise, it's the Yin Nine-Tailed Fox, a legacy of the Grim Reaper?" Bane chuckled and explained.

Although he was quite surprised, Orochimaru didn't dwell on it. He knew that the rift between the Pure Land and the mortal world couldn't be left open for too long, so he hurriedly said, "Spirit Lord, I have cloned a large number of Sharingan."

As he said this, he pushed a cart next to him to the front of the crack, and casually removed the white cloth covering it. Sure enough, the cart was filled with a large number of containers, which looked like test tubes.

Each container contains a pair of Sharingan eyes with three tomoe, and judging from the nature of the tomoe, they are exactly the same, meaning they were cloned from a single pair of Sharingan eyes.

"I almost forgot about this." Bane looked at the Sharingan, clicked his tongue and sighed, then looked at Orochimaru and said, "These things seem very troublesome. Thank you for your trouble."

"It is my honor to serve the Spirit Lord," Orochimaru replied respectfully at first, then hesitated for a moment, his expression somewhat uncertain.

Bane noticed the change in his expression and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me? Just say it."

After receiving Bane's reassurance, Orochimaru took a deep breath and looked intently at Bane, saying, "Spirit Lord, now that I've come this far, am I qualified to stand by your side?"

I still remember when Orochimaru said he wanted to follow Bane, but Bane didn't agree immediately. Instead, he told him that if he wanted to stand by his side, he had to prove that he had enough value.

Since then, Orochimaru has worked diligently to handle many matters for Bane, never daring to slack off.

They are working very hard to prove their worth.

Some time ago, Nami, Robin and the others mentioned the matter of evacuation, which made Orochimaru feel uneasy and fearful. He always felt that things were not as simple as "leaving Ryuchi Cave".

This withdrawal is more like a "stripping" of the ninja world, as if they were leaving this world.

This inexplicable sense of urgency can be felt in everything from collecting tailed beasts and knowledge of the ninja world.

Orochimaru was very worried that he would be the one left behind!

Having already witnessed the vast sky, all that's missing now is a ticket to set sail and experience scenery he's never seen before. But now, the ship may be about to depart, and he hasn't gotten the ticket yet. How can Orochimaru feel at ease?

He had been thinking about this matter recently, and today, taking advantage of the Sharingan, he summoned the Spirit Lord. There were some things he needed to know the answers to.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Bane asked, slightly puzzled.

"I can sense that you, Spirit Lord, or Nami and the others, are perhaps about to leave," Orochimaru replied with a somewhat complicated tone.

"Oh dear." Bane scratched his head and chuckled, "Sure enough, I guessed they'd be wrapping things up by now. After all, they've almost reached our initial goal."

"So everyone is leaving this place? Leaving the ninja world?" Orochimaru couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, that's roughly the idea." Bane stroked his chin, looked at the somewhat impatient Orochimaru, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Orochimaru, when I first met you, you were a very confident person. Why have you become so insecure now?"

"Looking back now, my confidence back then was somewhat blind. And it was precisely because I had seen better things but never actually obtained them that I became so anxious about gains and losses," Orochimaru said after thinking for a moment.

"I still prefer you when you're confident; it makes you seem more capable and more worthy of being entrusted with important tasks," Bane said with a smile, then added, "So don't worry, I've considered you my friend and partner for a long time."

Upon receiving this affirmative reply, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, the unease on his face gradually fading, replaced by a smile as he said, "To be called a friend by you, Spirit Lord, I am truly somewhat apprehensive."

"Hahaha, you'll soon find out that I'm not as bizarre or fantastical as you imagine. Well, anyway, you're very close to the truth. You'll understand when it's time to leave," Bane laughed heartily.

He didn't explain the situation to Orochimaru in detail, and Orochimaru had no intention of getting to the bottom of it at this point.

Ultimately, what Orochimaru wanted wasn't to know everything immediately, but rather to confirm whether he actually possessed the "ticket" to the ship.

Now that Bane has given him the answer, he is relieved.

Bane stored the cartload of Sharingan eyes into his dark space, casually toying with a test tube: "I haven't had much to do in the Pure Land lately besides releasing my spiritual energy, so I'll use these Sharingan eyes to pass the time. According to your theory of making up for lack of quality with quantity, maybe I can actually master this kind of power?"

"Actually, there were originally more, but Miss Robin was also very interested in the Sharingan. We studied it together for a while. She's leaving some of them and is currently trying out a different approach," Orochimaru said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Bane asked with a hint of curiosity, "She's not planning to gouge out her own eyes and get Sharingan instead, is she?"

Thinking about it carefully, Robin's personality is somewhat wicked. Although she seems normal most of the time, she occasionally goes crazy, and it's a dark kind of crazy. Her sudden desire to transplant Sharingan eyes sounds a bit unsettling, but it's not that she wouldn't do it.

"No, not at all." Orochimaru shook his head and said, "However, the nature of it is extremely extreme. Miss Robin can 'grow' herself through her ability, and the limbs that grow are not fake, but real entities."

The body created by the Flower-Flower Fruit's power is not fake; Bane has absolute authority to say this, as he has tried every trick in the book.

Perception is completely connected to the essence; it is not illusory, but rather like a branch growing out of its fork or a flower blooming with new petals.

Pain, pleasure, and the like can all be transmitted; even the force of being touched can be fed back to oneself.

Just like in the original story, in Dressrosa, Sugar used her ability to touch Robin's "Blooming", which directly resulted in Robin's original body being turned into a toy.

Robin, as the user of this ability, is very clear about its nature.

Out of Bane's curiosity, Orochimaru briefly recounted their experiments with Robin.

Instead of directly transplanting the Sharingan into her body, Orochimaru borrowed the same "assimilation" approach from Bane, having Robin's head continuously "bloom" on the table, growing her own head, and then Orochimaru transplanted the Sharingan into this newly grown "head".

After the Sharingan transplant is completed, Robin releases her ability and uses it as a medium to absorb the power of the Sharingan into her body, completing true assimilation.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

In the initial stage, the experiment was successful. By using this method and taking advantage of the special nature of the fruit's ability, it is indeed possible to purify and assimilate the Sharingan into oneself. However, like Bane, a simple pair of Sharingan does not have much effect.

Robin also needs to expend a large amount of Sharingan to achieve her true goal.

After hearing this, Bane was also terrified. He had only been playing with the Sharingan, using his soul power to penetrate it and absorb it at the soul level.

Robin's name sounds incredibly terrifying and dark!

He would bloom on his own, create a head on the experimental table, and then have Orochimaru transplant the Sharingan onto his head. After that, he would retrieve the head and the Sharingan together, repeating this process dozens or hundreds of times until he finally obtained his own Sharingan.

Just imagine what that process would be like; it's terrifying.

But it unexpectedly aligns with Robin's dark thoughts.

Looking at Orochimaru again, he didn't see anything wrong at all, acting as if it were perfectly normal. This ruthless guy must be a good match for Robin in terms of personality, right?

Sure enough, these scholars and scientists are terrifying!

"So I've been under a lot of pressure regarding the cloning of the Sharingan during this time." Orochimaru said with a slight sigh, then looked at Bane and said, "I hope that your progress on the Spirit Lord's side will be fruitful. This time we should be able to make a comparison. Even if it's not successful, I'll have a general idea of ​​how many Sharingan we need to activate."

"Thank you for your hard work," Bane comforted Orochimaru, then added, "I will absorb all these Sharingan eyes as soon as possible."

"And then there's the matter of the Tailed Beasts." After talking about the Sharingan, Orochimaru brought up the Tailed Beasts again.

Soon, the two tailed beast jinchūriki were brought before Bane. They both appeared to be in a daze, like puppets. They were the jinchūriki of the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails.

"I've cast illusions on them to make them easier to control," Orochimaru said.

"What about the three tails?" Bane asked again.

Didn't we just say that Zoro brought the Three-Tails back with him?

"Because of my enormous size, I'm not easy to house, so for now I'm the Three-Tails Jinchuriki," Orochimaru said, patting his belly.

Bane?

In other words, to make it easier to control the Three-Tails, Orochimaru simply sealed it inside his own body!?

"Sometimes I really have to admire your thought process," Bane remarked.

Without further delay, he began to extract the tailed beasts from the bodies of these Jinchūriki, sealing all the massive tailed beast chakra into the dark space. Then, using the old method, he created mini Homies of the Three-Tails, Six-Tails, and Seven-Tails.

After settling everything, Bane said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll continue my seclusion in the Pure Land and strive to return to the mortal world as soon as possible."

It was at this time, perhaps because too much time had been wasted, that the rift between the realm of life and death, between the Pure Land and the present world, became less stable.

So without any delay, Bane quickly closed the passage and disappeared into the cave of Ryuchi Cave.

Orochimaru stared at the smoothed-out spatial folds, standing motionless for a long time.

A few minutes later, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He had the ticket.

He successfully proved his worth, proving himself worthy to stand beside the Spirit Lord. At this moment, he felt his world had become much broader!
