Lin Yi took a closer look and discovered that the blood vessels inside the ninja's arm had been replaced by tree roots.

He peered inside along the cut skin and saw the intricate root systems that spread out through the ninja's body like a web of life.

This scene also explains how the ninja was able to survive for so long without water or food.

These plants growing on his body provide him with the necessary nutrients and water during photosynthesis, just like the green plants in nature provide energy for the ecosystem.

This symbiotic relationship allows the ninja to stay alive in extreme environments.

“Interesting coexistence conditions.”

Lin Yi's eyes flashed with curiosity and inquiry. The blood-colored vine on his left wrist seemed to sense its owner's emotions and poked its head out faintly.

Lin Yi gently stroked the blood-colored vine, and it rubbed against Lin Yi's gloves before quietly changing back into the form of a bracelet.

Then, Lin Yi continued to conduct a detailed examination of the ninja's body.

He discovered that most of the ninja's body structure had been deeply eroded by Hashirama's cells, and the original muscle and bone tissue were now in a fibrotic state.

What is even more amazing is that despite such drastic changes in the body, the part above the neck of this ninja, including the head and brain, miraculously still maintains a normal flesh and blood structure.

The ninja's current state was like a living person's head being transplanted onto a vibrant tree.

This situation has gone far beyond the scope of traditional medicine.

"Dou, will there be any impact if this person dies?" Lin Yi turned to ask pharmacist Dou.

His curiosity drove him to conduct more in-depth experiments. What he was going to do next might be a bit rough, and the ninja might not be able to hold on and die, so he had to give a heads up in advance.

Yakushi Kabuto was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Well, I need to ask Lord Orochimaru for instructions."

In Orochimaru's laboratory, any important decision requires his approval.

Kabuto understood the importance of this experimenter to Orochimaru, so he couldn't make a decision on his own.

A minute later, Kabuto appeared in Orochimaru's office and reported Lin Yi's idea to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was originally thinking about the curse seal, but he didn't expect Kabuto Yakushi to suddenly bring this news, which immediately aroused Orochimaru's interest.

In this era, there are very few real scientific researchers.

Compared to Orochimaru, many researchers pale in comparison in terms of scientific literacy.

Especially the so-called Ninjutsu Research Institute in Konoha Village. The researchers there are simply not worthy of the name and are just doing it under the guise of scientific research.

Their so-called "research" is often just a slight modification of existing ninjutsu, and then applying for funding based on this. This practice is undoubtedly deceptive.

Because of this, Orochimaru would rather conduct real scientific research alone than associate with these people who seek fame and fortune.

"Interesting, maybe I can find a useful partner."

At this moment, Orochimaru finally showed a smile on his face, and it can be seen that he is still very much looking forward to Lin Yi's performance.

"Let's go, I'll go and take a look myself."

Orochimaru pushed his chair away and walked out of the office.

Yakushi Kabuto followed closely behind, and the two of them quickly left the office one after the other.

Three minutes later, the two arrived at the laboratory. Lin Yi did not act rashly, but was concentrating on reading through past experimental records.

Seeing Lin Yi abide by the rules so well, Orochimaru couldn't help but nod slightly.

"I heard from Kabuto that you plan to conduct other types of experiments on this test subject?" Orochimaru said slowly, "Can I observe here?"

"of course can."

Lin Yi raised his head and met Orochimaru's eyes. He knew in his heart that Orochimaru's arrival meant that his previous request had been approved.

With Orochimaru's permission, Lin Yi began to prepare for some more radical experiments.

Chapter 274 New Discovery (Please subscribe, please vote)

Lin Yi took some samples of the trees that grew on his body. After cutting the trees, Lin Yi asked if there was a microscope here.

Since microscopes were a rare product in this era, even Kabuto was not qualified to get close to them. In the end, it was Orochimaru who led Lin Yi to his own personal laboratory, and only then was Lin Yi able to use the microscope.

When Lin Yi scraped some sawdust from a tree sample and placed it under a microscope, he made an astonishing discovery.

Under a microscope, he observed that these trees did not have cell walls, but instead had a structure similar to animal cells, and that the cells of these trees were extremely invasive.

To verify this, Lin Yi squeezed out a drop of blood and dropped it on the tree cells under the microscope.

These cells are like great white sharks that smell blood in the ocean. They rush towards the red blood cells frantically and assimilate them in a very short time.

Orochimaru stood quietly by the side, without disturbing Lin Yi's experimental process.

He understood that at this time all he needed to do was watch.

"It's really interesting, worthy of being called Hashirama's cells." Lin Yi exclaimed.

"It seems like you have made a new discovery?" Orochimaru noticed the excitement on Lin Yi's face and his curiosity was aroused.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you know the main differences between plant cells and animal cells?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Orochimaru wanted to answer, but suddenly realized that he was not very clear about the question.

Orochimaru's scientific research system was established through his own exploration. He has his own unique understanding of the world, but he may not know much about some basic knowledge.

So Lin Yi's question made Orochimaru fall into deep thought.

Kabuto Yakushi was shocked to see that Orochimaru, who was regarded as a god, actually had things he didn't understand. It was the first time he saw Lord Orochimaru like this.

Lin Yi was not surprised by this.

It is only the Third World War period, and Orochimaru's research theory has not yet reached the mature level of the later period.

Therefore, it is normal for Orochimaru not to understand some basic knowledge.

Lin Yi randomly found a weed in the corner, processed it, put it under the microscope, and motioned Orochimaru to come over and take a look.

"The biggest difference between plant cells and animal cells is that plant cells have a cell wall, which is the outermost layer, while animal cells do not have this layer."

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi gave Orochimaru a detailed explanation of a junior high school biology lesson. At this time, Orochimaru, inspired by Lin Yi, had a lot of ideas in his mind, and he was waiting to start the experiment.

After the explanation, Orochimaru noticed that the plants cultivated using Hashirama's cells were not real plants, and their internal structure still showed the characteristics of animal cells.

This also explains why his previous attempt to use the same method used on plants to deal with Hashirama's cells had no effect. It was obvious that there was something wrong with his experimental thinking.

After seeing that Orochimaru understood, Lin Yi suggested returning to the previous laboratory first.

At this time, the ninja on the test bench was still making unclear wails, and there was no sense of exhaustion in his voice, as if he was enduring endless pain.

This time, Lin Yi's arrival was no small matter.

He directly grabbed a branch that had grown out of the ninja's arm on the test bench, and then he pulled it hard, pulling the branch out of his arm.

The ninja on the test bench let out a heart-wrenching wail, but at this moment he was tied up tightly and could not move at all.

The lower part of the branch pulled out by Lin Yi was intricate, like living blood vessels, and extremely corrosive.

As if they sensed the disappearance of their host, the roots of these trees groped blindly in the air, as if looking for the next host to parasitize.

Orochimaru witnessed this scene and immediately signaled Kabuto Yakushi to record it in detail.

In the past, Orochimaru paid more attention to how to reduce the corrosiveness of Hashirama's cells, but he did not pay much attention to the products left by the erosion of Hashirama's cells.

Now it seems that this may be a completely new research direction.

"Bring me a plate."

Pharmacist Dou followed Lin Yi's instructions, took an iron tray from the cart beside him, and placed it respectfully in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi carefully placed the branch on the iron tray, then picked up the scalpel and gently touched the root of the branch.

As if sensing the contact of a foreign object, the roots of the branches immediately wrapped around the scalpel.

Lin Yi trembled the scalpel slightly and accurately cut all the entangled tree roots into two halves.

After dealing with the branches, Lin Yi put the tray aside and walked to the place where he had just pulled out the branches to observe them carefully.

Perhaps because his actions this time were too rough, and the level of Hashirama cells in the ninja's body was too low, the ninja's injuries did not recover as quickly as before.

Instead, the wound showed a huge hole, revealing the muscle tissue inside the ninja's arm.

"Kou, can you heal this wound?"

"Okay, but it's a bit troublesome."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses. As Orochimaru's right-hand man, he was outstanding in the field of medical ninjutsu, especially in his understanding of the human body structure.

He walked to the side of the injured ninja, and green light shone on his hands. This was the unique light of the Palm Fairy Technique, a ninjutsu commonly used by medical ninjas when treating the wounded.

After three minutes of meticulous treatment, Dou wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped aside.

The current Kabuto has not yet transformed into the future powerful Kabuto Orochi. He is just an ordinary Chunin.

Therefore, being able to successfully complete the regeneration treatment of his arm is a remarkable achievement for him.

At this moment, Orochimaru and Lin Yi discovered that the arm that had been treated by Kabuto Yakushi could actually move.

Although the movement was very small, this subtle change could not escape the eyes of both of them.

Lin Yi and Orochimaru walked forward at the same time and looked at the arm carefully.

Orochimaru politely made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the experiment was now led by Lin Yi and he had no intention of seizing the leading position.

Seeing Orochimaru's humble attitude, Lin Yi took out a new scalpel and carefully cut open the ninja's arm.

This time, a trickle of blood finally seeped out of the wound, indicating that the internal tissue structure of the arm had returned to normal human structure.

"It's really strange, why didn't Hashirama's cells continue to erode this time?" Orochimaru frowned.

Lin Yi also fell into deep thought. He was also confused by this question.

In previous experiments, the pillar cells always showed strong erosion, but this time they abnormally stopped eroding.

Five minutes later, Lin Yi put forward a hypothesis.

He believed that over the course of five days, the concentration of Hashirama cells in the test subject's blood had gradually decreased.

The Hashirama cells in the previous experimental subject may have all been transformed into a dendritic structure.

Therefore, after Lin Yi pulled out these branches, the experimental subject was no longer eroded by Hashirama's cells.

Orochimaru highly agreed with Lin Yi's conjecture.

After all, the concentration of Hashirama cells he had injected into the experimental subjects was indeed quite low, and the amount of reagent used during the injection was also very small.

Therefore, the possibility that Hashirama's cells were completely consumed in the body of the experimental subject is indeed very high.

"Kabuto, how many times can you use your previous Palm Magic Technique?" Orochimaru asked Kabuto Yakushi.

"It should be able to be used three more times." Kabuto replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Although his body felt very tired, his spirit was extremely excited at the moment.

"Very good. I'll have to trouble you next."

Lin Yi didn't say anything more. He walked straight to the experimental table and decisively pulled out all the branches on the subject's limbs.

The experimental subject fainted on the spot because the pain was beyond the tolerance of a normal person.

Hashirama's cells were tightly entangled with the nerves of the test subject's limbs, doubling the pain.

The brain's protective mechanism is triggered in this situation, causing the subject to fall into a coma to avoid continuing to feel this unbearable pain.

"give it to you."

Lin Yi threw all the pulled branches onto the cart, then Dou walked forward and began to treat the experimental subject.

Half an hour later, Dou walked down from the test bench looking a little tired. It was obvious that this treatment had taken a huge toll on him.

The chakra content in Kabuto's body is very low at the moment. You know, chakra is originally a variant of life force. Consuming so much at one time is very damaging to Kabuto's vitality.

But neither Kabuto, Orochimaru nor Lin Yi took this matter to heart.

After Kabuto finished the treatment, Orochimaru and Lin Yi immediately surrounded the experimental subject to observe the situation.
