This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 385 New Research

"Research on White Zetsu cells and the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Upon hearing Nishikawa Tetsu's words, Orochimaru's previously nonchalant golden vertical pupils instantly lit up.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru turned around.

"I'm very interested in this research." He licked his lips, his voice becoming hoarse and deep with excitement.

He had already become interested in the Mangekyou Sharingan after witnessing Fugaku Uchiha fight the Eight-Tails head-on, and his interest only grew stronger after seeing Obito Uchiha's performance in the Chunin Exams.

Nishikawa Tetsu tucked the scroll into his pockets, put his hands in his pockets, and met Orochimaru's gaze.

"Now that we've confirmed that Madara Uchiha used the Gedo Mazo and the cells of the First Hokage to cultivate the White Zetsu army, why can't we use this power in reverse?"

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the White Zetsu clone behind him.

"The essence of White Zetsu is actually a degraded version of Hashirama's cell aggregates. They possess extremely strong vitality and regenerative abilities, and can even assimilate and adapt to various chakra attributes."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan, the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, comes with an irreversible curse—with each use of the Mangekyou Sharingan, vision gradually declines, eventually leading to blindness."

The images of Obito and Fugaku flashed through Nishikawa Tetsu's mind.

If left unchecked, these two current and future top fighters of Konoha will eventually become blind.

"I want to know," Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Orochimaru, "if we safely implant highly active White Zetsu cells, or rather, extracts of the First Hokage's cells, into the body of a Mangekyou Sharingan user, could we utilize that immense life force to repair or even reverse damage to the optic nerve?"

He believed that this was feasible. In the original work, Obito did not have the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but he could release his eye techniques at a high intensity without any problems. Nishikawa Tetsu believed that this should be due to the effect of the White Zetsu cells.

Orochimaru remained silent.

He didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at the advanced machines in the laboratory, his brain racing.

"A combination of Yang Release and Yin Release..."

Orochimaru muttered to himself, immediately grasping the core of Nishikawa Tetsu's idea.

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is essentially the manifestation of the ultimate Yin Release chakra in the eyes. The cells of the Senju clan, on the other hand, are the ultimate Yang Release life force. These two powers are said to originate from the same source, belonging to the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths."

Orochimaru turned around, his gaze intense.

"In theory, this is entirely feasible!"

"If we could find a balance point where the Yang Release chakra of the White Zetsu cells could nourish the optic nerve, which has been depleted by excessive consumption of Yin Release, it would not only prevent blindness, but might even..."

Orochimaru's breathing became rapid.

"It might even trigger some unknown evolution in the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Upon hearing this, Nishikawa Tetsu thought to himself: You don't need to guess anymore, that's the Rinnegan. But it requires the chakra of Indra and Ashura, so Obito and the senior who went to the appointment have no hope~

"but!"

Although Orochimaru was excited, he remained serious.

"The rejection reaction of the first-generation cells is extremely terrifying. As you saw before, even if the White Zetsu cells have been diluted countless times, they will go berserk instantly once they are directly implanted into an ordinary person's body, turning the host into a mindless tree."

Orochimaru pointed at White Zetsu: "Although this thing is a product of degradation, its corrosiveness should not be underestimated. If it directly affects the fragile optic nerves or the area near the brain, once it gets out of control, the recipient will not even have a chance to be saved."

"That's why I came to see you."

Nishikawa Tetsu shrugged.

"I'm involved in engineering and theoretical concepts. This kind of delicate work at the microscopic, cellular level—in the entire ninja world, besides you, Dean Orochimaru, who else could handle it?"

Nishikawa Tetsu took out a scroll and handed it to Orochimaru.

"These are some ideas I compiled before about chakra meridian blocking and local cell culture. My idea is not to directly implant living cells into the human body, but to extract the regeneration-promoting factors from white Zetsu cells and make them into a kind of eye drops or nerve repair solution that can be used regularly."

Orochimaru took the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it briefly. His eyes shone even brighter.

"Using sealing techniques to create an isolation layer, filtering out the cellular's corrosiveness and retaining only its regenerative properties... a good idea."

"How long will it take to see results?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked directly.

Orochimaru put away the scroll and sneered, "Che-kun, you're a researcher too. You should understand that scientific research isn't like pouring cement on a construction site. For research involving the Root of Bloodline Limits, I need a lot of experimental data."

"Got it, you want money and people, right?" Nishikawa Tetsu rolled his eyes.

Just as Orochimaru said, he was also a researcher, and what Orochimaru meant by this was that he wanted money and people.

However, Nishikawa Tetsu himself did not intend to take advantage of the situation for free, especially since this involved the Uchiha clan, a powerful family in Konoha, who had no shortage of people or money.

"I will talk to Mr. Fugaku, and I believe he will invest."
