'Extract a certain amount of DNA from the deceased, use the body of a living person as the container for the soul of the deceased, and then summon the soul of the deceased from the Pure Land to the present world and participate in the battle. This is Impure World Reincarnation!'
'The summoned Shinobi can not only use Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, but also Kekkei Genkai. The most important thing is that they are tireless, immortal, and possess infinite chakra!'
'If Clan Head Fugaku instructed his clansmen to steal Impure World Reincarnation, then their purpose must be to create an army of Impure World Reincarnation!'
'As for Hyuga Clan's Shinobi infiltrating the Root…'
'That's right, Danzo worked with Sandaime many years ago to study the transplant operation of Shodaime's cells. Although this matter has been over for many years, but with Danzo's character, it is very possible that he still hides Shodaime's cells!'
'Uchiha Clan plus Hyuga Clan, Impure World Reincarnation army plus Shodaime Hokage, they can destroy Konoha in an instant!'
'Of course, it is also possible that Abyss has managed to mix into the Uchiha Clan!'
'Kanpū said that the purpose of the Abyss is to study Kekkei Genkai and make the various Kekkei Genkai merge and evolve!'
'Wood Release Kekkei Genkai of Shodaime Hokage.'
'Kekkei Tota Dust Release of Nidaime Tsuchikage.'
'Mangekyo Sharingan of Uchiha Madara.'
'Too many Shinobi with powerful Kekkei Genkai died in the past. If Abyss intends to extract the Kekkei Genkai from the dead, then it is logical for them to steal the Impure World Reincarnation!'
Minato wanted to find Kanpū to confirm one or two things, but the communication inside the abyss is point-to-point, and Kanpū can only passively contact his 'upline', Tenkū. That is to say, even if someone from Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan really joins Abyss, it is impossible for Kanpū to know, let alone confirm it.
Furthermore, when Kanpū told him that Hyuga Clan's Shinobi had invaded Root's Headquarters yesterday, he didn't mention Abyss at all, so he obviously didn't know it.
Minato sighed, 'This kind of rigorous organization is really a headache!'
'Moreover, there is also Akatsuki!'
'According to the agreement with Shisui, since he did not return to Konoha during this period, it proves that he has successfully entered Akatsuki!'
'But after such a long time, Shisui didn't send back any information…'
Minato frowned slowly. Obviously, the situation in the Shinobi World had stabilized, but the undercurrent was surging more and more frequently, which made him worry!
After pondering for a while, Minato ordered Eagle to send people to monitor the Konoha Cemetery and Uchiha Clan's Cemetery. If someone digs a grave, the suspicion of the Uchiha clan will be serious!
If not, the probability of Abyss will become greater.
Of course, it is also possible that all of this is just a coincidence, but Minato felt such probability is too small.
...
Land of Iron.
This country is located in the north of Land of Fire, and is affected by the cold air of the extreme north all the year round. It is covered by snow and ice for most of the year, and it is very cold.
At this moment, Sasori and Shisui are wearing thick robes, riding the wind and snow.
Kanpū is cold, with no opportunity drilled from Shisui's clothes, braving the wind, snow and severe cold on their way.
It's been a long time since Shisui formulated the plan of 'using Kotoamatsukami to control White Zetsu's clone', but unfortunately, Shisui has not found a chance to make a move!
White Zetsu's clone is too cautious. Every time he appears to deliver information and missions, he will form a triangle with Shisui and Sasori. If Shisui activated Sharingan, he will definitely not be able to hide it from Sasori!
Shisui thought about taking risks, such as giving White Zetsu's clone a Kotoamatsukami first, and then using Susanoo to destroy Sasori, but he still gave up after thinking about it.
Firstly, using Kotoamatsukami and Susanoo at the same time consumes too much pupil power. Secondly, once he activated Mangekyo, Sasori will surely pass the information here to Akatsuki's leader, Pain through the ring. At that time, the White Zetsu's clone controlled by Kotoamatsukami may not have time to send the information back to Konoha, and it will be caught by other White Zetsu's clones, but then destroyed.
So, he still have to wait for the opportunity.
Shisui feels extremely helpless, but he really had no choice but to continue to wait.
...
Off the coastline of Land of Rice Fields, on a small deserted island, there is a hidden cave. Inside is a long and narrow underground hole that leads directly to a secret experimental base.
This is the northern stronghold of Orochimaru.
On the same day when Kanpū transformed into Taki and worked with Orochimaru, Orochimaru successfully escape from the surveillance of the White Zetsu's clone by using his white snakes and shadow clones.
And this shadow clone is doing experiments in this stronghold right now!
In a small room deep in the depths of the underground experiment base, Kimimaro is carefully administering medicine to Jugo.
Just now, Jugo once again absorbed Natural Energy and went crazy, but before he could wreak havoc, he was brutally suppressed by Orochimaru.
Then, Orochimaru ruthlessly took away a piece of Jugo's body for an experiment, and then threw the sluggish Jugo to Kimimaro's care.
"Are you okay?" Kimimaro asked softly, looking at Jugo's eyes that were gradually regaining consciousness.
"I'm fine."
Jugo glanced at his right hand, and there is a big piece of flesh missing on his arm. Although it has been applied with medicine, waves of severe pain still invaded his mind.
"Can Orochimaru-sama cure my illness?"
Jugo doesn't care about the injury on his right hand. For him, it doesn't matter even if the right hand is severed. As long as he 'become crazy', and then bite a piece of meat from other people, he can quickly recover.
"Don't worry, Orochimaru-sama can definitely cure you."
Kimimaro comforted, his eyes are clear, full of sincerity and trust. Jugo was intoxicated by these eyes, showing a pale smile, he said, "I believe you, Kimimaro."
In the laboratory not far away.
Orochimaru has extracted ten parts of DNA with different concentrations from Jugo's flesh, and injected them into ten young Shinobi immersed in the strange liquid, silently observing their changes, and recorded the data at the same time.
So far, he has studied Jugo's body in all kinds of ways.
And the more he studies it, the more shocked Orochimaru is. He found that Jugo's body is a natural Sage Body, and once he absorbs enough Natural Energy, he will burst out with terrifying power!
But unfortunately, this body cannot be controlled when it absorbs Natural Energy, and once it is full of Natural Energy, not only the body but also the spirit will be 'crazy', which is somewhat similar to the repercussions of petrification in training Sage Mode, Orochimaru cannot solve this problem at present, otherwise, Jugo will definitely become one of his reincarnation containers, and the priority is estimated to be second only to Kanpū!
Of course, although Jugo can't be used as a reincarnation container, Orochimaru discovered an interesting phenomenon when studying Jugo's cells.
By transplanting Jugo's cells to other people, that person will have a chance to gain power similar to 'Sage Mode' without going crazy!
Of course, the greater chance is… death!
It can't be helped. Jugo's cell activity is too high. And once transplanted, rejection will inevitably occur. Although the lethality rate is not as terrifying as Hashirama's cells, it is still extremely terrifying.
So far, only five young Shinobi out of more than 20 research materials have been successful, but not long ago, these five young Shinobi also experienced various symptoms, some died directly, some turned into an unconscious killing machine, like a wild beast, in a word: Miserable!
Orochimaru seems to have grasped the point, so the human experiment started again!
Half an hour later, Jugo's cells seemed to have integrated into the ten young Shinobi immersed in the liquid medicine. After a while, these ten began to struggle unconsciously, and their expressions gradually became hideous, their veins completely show, as if they were having a nightmare, and then some of their limbs also underwent astonishing changes, as if turning into monsters!
Those young Shinobi injected with high concentrations of DNA soon died, and in the end, only the few Shinobi injected with low concentrations of DNA survived!
Orochimaru immediately began to study these people. A few days later, through a series of examinations, Orochimaru found that under the guidance of Jugo's cells, the bodies of these people kept gushing out with powerful force, but these guiding forces will seriously erode their bodies!
Orochimaru continued to observe with excitement, and then found that according to the amount of DNA injected and the number of times the force was used, the erosion's speed would be different, but the final result of the erosion is… hehe!
"So I need to add a confinement to it."
It is unknown what Orochimaru thought of, but he suddenly smiled wretchedly. He stuck out his tongue and easily licked his face, and then he said to himself, "Maybe I can add something else to it, hehehe, let's call it Cursed Seal for now."
