Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

The experimental subject codenamed "A" already possessed the cells of the First Generation and had mastered the Wood Release bloodline limit.

However, his Wood Release technique was completely insignificant compared to the First Hokage's Wood Release.

For this reason, Danzo kept asking Orochimaru to increase the purity of Kou's Wood Release bloodline.

This is A's third experiment.

The goal is to make his Wood Release Kekkei Genkai stronger.

This was also to pave the way for Danzo's first-generation cell transplantation plan.

Orochimaru had lost all interest in this.

Therefore, he used it as a test for Uchiha Ao, and originally he did not expect Uchiha Ao to be able to complete this experiment.

But I didn't expect it to be completed smoothly.

After three days of conditioning, Jia had mastered the changes in his body. The First Generation bloodline within him had further fused, greatly enhancing his physical attributes. Even his chakra level had doubled.

The Wood Release technique it used was quite impressive, possessing some degree of vitality.

Even Orochimaru felt a little reluctant to part with this talent.

A thought of competing with Danzo for it arose in his mind.

However, he quickly concealed it.

"Qingjun, you have such outstanding talent in experiments, and you're not bad in ninjutsu either, right?! Why do you hide yourself as a talentless good-for-nothing?"

Orochimaru reviewed the body test report of the armored figure and, after two days of testing, had reached a conclusion.

Originally, A's overall strength was only at the peak of Genin, but after an experiment, he has been upgraded to Chunin level, and even has a faint amount of chakra like Jonin.

Significant improvements have been made in all aspects of my health.

After deciding to take Uchiha Ao under his wing, he had someone investigate him.

It was discovered that Uchiha Ao had a mediocre reputation within the village, his grades at the Ninja Academy were below average, and he was considered a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

His performance was almost identical to the survey results.

He hadn't even mastered the Three Body Techniques, let alone the chakra blade required for the experiment, which demanded extremely high chakra control—an ability he simply didn't have the talent to master.

From this point of view,

He can at best become a theoretical researcher; if he wants to conduct more advanced research, his talent becomes his biggest limitation.

Uchiha Ao spread his hands, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Teacher, I'm not hiding anything. My talent in ninjutsu is very poor. Bloodline talent is given to me by my parents at birth, but my strength is something I achieve through hard work."

"Bloodline talent only gives us a lower limit; it cannot determine our upper limit."

"I know I'm not very talented, so—I'm going to get a new body!"

He lowered his head, feigning inferiority, avoiding Orochimaru's burning gaze.

As he lowered his head, a smile appeared on his lips.

Uchiha Ao's talent was indeed mediocre. Even with the Uchiha bloodline, he barely graduated from the Ninja Academy and was always at the bottom of the clan assessments.

"Change bodies?"

Orochimaru smacked his lips, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Uchiha Ao's words struck a chord with Orochimaru, who had been planning a brand new research project recently.

This is a milestone project for Orochimaru in his research on forbidden techniques.

"That's a great idea. Have you made any progress in your research on this?"

Orochimaru asked subtly.

But Uchiha Ao immediately saw the excitement in his heart.

He immediately realized that the fish had taken the bait.

"The soul is a person's most fundamental mark. If you change your spirit, you may be able to change your body."

"I know there is a secret technique in the village called the Spirit Transformation Technique—perhaps through this technique I can gain control of my own spirit, and then use some methods to wear down the original soul in the target's body, making it my soul container, and thus be able to replace it with a completely new body."

Uchiha Ao had already devised a detailed plan long before he even went looking for Orochimaru.

"Coincidentally, I have a similar idea and am currently in the planning stage."

Orochimaru took a document out of the drawer and handed it to Uchiha Ao for a glance.

After deciding to take Uchiha Ao under his wing, Orochimaru didn't hold anything back.

She shared some of her research with him.

Uchiha Ao took the documents and began to carefully read through them.

The document wasn't long; it was only about ten pages long, and I finished reading it in less than ten minutes.

It contains extensive research and esoteric techniques related to the soul.

Among them is the Spirit Transformation Technique, a secret technique once exclusive to the Kato family. After the death of its heir, Kato Dan, it came into the possession of the village and was recorded in the Book of Sealing.

With the Third Hokage's authorization, Orochimaru saw this technique in the Book of Seals and, combining it with some of his own ideas, proposed researching the Reanimation Jutsu.

The Spirit Transformation Technique was the inspiration for Orochimaru's Reincarnation Technique.

This has now become Orochimaru's main research focus.

Uchiha Ao closed the file and handed it back to Orochimaru.

"Teacher, this technique... the research process might be quite complicated, right?"

Uchiha Ao reminded him.

The tone was rather tactful.

This technique is very likely a trap set by Danzo for Orochimaru.

Because the study of this technique involves the human soul.

The research process requires a large amount of material, and the material is all living organisms.

This led Orochimaru to turn his attention to the villagers of Konoha.

This ultimately led to his defection.

Ao didn't directly remind Orochimaru.

Danzo is still his partner, but if the truth comes out and Orochimaru doesn't trust him now, he could very well become the victim.

Only after Danzo obtains what he wants and will undoubtedly abandon Orochimaru without hesitation will his words at this moment make Orochimaru recall them and increase his trust in him.

"Don't worry, I've already come up with a preliminary plan, and there are no problems with the technical approach."

Orochimaru said confidently.

"Take a good look at this and give me a report later."

Orochimaru had barely finished speaking.

A figure suddenly appeared at the doorway.

Danzo, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, stood at the door, accompanied by two subordinates in uniform. The old man squinted, calmly sizing up Uchiha Ao.

"Orochimaru—who is this?"

He noticed the Uchiha pattern on Qing's clothes, which was repulsive, and he couldn't help but frown.

"He's my newly hired assistant..."

Orochimaru answered calmly, subtly shielding Uchiha Ao behind him and protecting him from Danzo's scrutiny.

"assistant?"

"If you need manpower, I can provide it for you... Why bother looking for an Uchiha clan member whose background you don't even know?"

"Do you know that the current research is... well, it's all... If it gets leaked, neither of us will be able to stay in the village anymore."

Danzo Shimura threatened coldly, expressing his deep dissatisfaction with Orochimaru's unauthorized actions.

"Hand him over to me, and I'll take care of this problem for you."

"I can assign you some more research to do..."

As he spoke, Danzo pulled a glass bottle from his sleeve. The bottle was half-filled with water, which was reflected in his two scarlet eyes.

This is a warning.

His other hand reached out to grab Uchiha Ao.

The attitude is very clear.

He has now broken ties with the Uchiha clan and become an irreconcilable enemy.

It's impossible for Orochimaru to allow a member of the Uchiha clan to be his assistant.

He planned to finish off Uchiha Ao on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Ao's pupils contracted, a hint of panic flashed across his face, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Those were Sharingan eyes with three tomoe.

Danzo's blatant display of it meant he considered Uchiha Ao a dead man.

Orochimaru stretched out his hand and blocked Danzo's outstretched hand.

"You're overstepping your bounds. It's none of your business to interfere with my people. Remember, we're just partners, Danzo!"

Orochimaru's tone turned cold, revealing a domineering presence.

After taking in Uchiha Ao, he would not allow anyone to have any ill intentions.

He would prevent others from having any ill intentions.

Even if this person was his closest partner, Danzo Shimura.

"If that's the case, then so be it!"

Danzo gave Uchiha Ao a deep look, then with a flick of his wrist, he put the bottle containing the Sharingan into his sleeve, before turning and leaving without looking back.
