Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's look of repulsion, Orochimaru shook his head and sighed, "What a pity..."
What's there to pity about this?!
Uchiha Yuzuru inwardly complained and then decided he must maintain a safe distance from Orochimaru in the future.
Although he was a man of broad affections, he absolutely could not accept male cross-dressers or gender-swapped individuals.
Walking deeper into the laboratory, Uchiha Yuzuru was led by Orochimaru into a vast room.
The room's walls were lined with shelves, each layer filled with various bottles and jars, and inside the jars were various human organs.
In one of the jars, there was even a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Besides these organs, there were several large cultivation tanks in the center of the room.
Inside the cultivation tanks, several children who didn't look particularly old were sleeping.
Uchiha Yuzuru asked curiously, "Orochimaru, how are your recent cloning research efforts coming along?"
Orochimaru handed a document to Uchiha Yuzuru and then said, "The cloning issue has been resolved, but the problem of rejection reactions is giving me a headache."
"If organs are transplanted from someone other than the recipient, most will experience a rejection reaction."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru merely nodded slightly.
With Orochimaru's ability, he would surely be able to solve this problem very soon.
Seeing no change in Uchiha Yuzuru's expression, Orochimaru continued to report on his work, asking curiously, "Yuzuru, may I ask where you obtained the White Zetsu you gave me?"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
Orochimaru extended his tongue and licked his lips, slowly saying, "Those White Zetsu cells can perfectly fuse with Senju Hashirama's cells; it's truly incredible."
"If the rejection reaction can be resolved, then people who have transplanted White Zetsu cells will be able to use the power of the Wood Release Bloodline Limit!"
Orochimaru became increasingly excited as he spoke.
Konoha's research into Hashirama cells began as early as when Senju Tobirama was alive, but Hashirama cells were simply too overbearing; any test subject who transplanted Hashirama cells would be devoured by the powerful Hashirama cells, ultimately transforming into a tree.
Konoha had conducted countless experiments, but not a single one had succeeded.
Originally, Orochimaru had given up hope, but the appearance of White Zetsu made him see the possibility of success.
These White Zetsu, fused with Hashirama cells, possessed the ability to use Wood Release power while lacking the powerful aggressiveness of Hashirama cells.
In other words... as long as White Zetsu cells could be successfully transplanted, theoretically, one would possess the power to use the Wood Release Bloodline Limit!
This discovery made Orochimaru so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.
After all, solving the rejection reaction was much simpler than solving the side effects of Hashirama cells.
After listening to Orochimaru's report, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
Although the strong one was Senju Hashirama and not the Wood Release Bloodline Limit, if he could have a group of subordinates capable of using the Wood Release Bloodline Limit, when attacking Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and the others' expressions would surely be very entertaining, right?
Such a thing, just thinking about it was very interesting.
Moreover, after transplanting White Zetsu cells, the drawback of the Mangekyo Sharingan going blind would also be resolved.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and said, "I can't tell you about the White Zetsu, you just need to know that I can continuously supply you with White Zetsu."
"Additionally..." A figure appeared in Uchiha Yuzuru's mind, and he slowly said, "I've heard that there are people in the Ninja World with a very special Physique; their cells won't produce a rejection reaction with anyone."
"If we can find such a person to study, then the rejection reaction should be resolved."
Upon hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Orochimaru said with some surprise, "Yuzuru, are there really such people in the Ninja World? It sounds a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Uchiha Yuzuru said confidently.
In the original work, Uchiha Shin truly existed.
If Orochimaru, who was constantly hiding, could find Uchiha Shin, then he, with such a large force, could also find him.

After leaving Orochimaru's experimental base, Uchiha Yuzuru informed the Third Raikage about the intelligence on the Land of Silence.
Under the leadership of Ay and Killer Bee, the Land of Silence was quickly conquered and became part of the Land of Lightning's territory.
And the Bounty Office founded by Jigen was also put under Uchiha Yuzuru's surveillance under the pretext of supervising its accounts.
As control over the expanded territories gradually strengthened, all the small countries in the northern and eastern parts of the Land of Fire were left with only the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Bears not under actual control.
Although he was just one step away from achieving his goal, Uchiha Yuzuru still temporarily halted his expansion.
Because Uchiha Mikoto, Uzumaki Kushina, and Karura's due dates were all approaching, Uchiha Yuzuru had been staying at home recently to be with them when their children were born.
Another ten-odd days passed, and Uchiha Mikoto was the first to be sent to the hospital.
With a cry, Uchiha Yuzuru welcomed his second son.
At Mikoto's inquiry, Uchiha Yuzuru named the child Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke... This was something he had decided on early.
Although in the original work, this was a name Uchiha Fugaku chose to curry favor with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Uchiha Yuzuru didn't particularly care.
To him, he considered himself Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandfather.
A few days after Uchiha Sasuke was born, Uzumaki Kushina also gave birth to her child in the hospital.
Black eyes and black hair, he looked very energetic.
Uchiha Yuzuru deliberated between the names "Menma" and "Naruto" for a long time, ultimately naming the child "Naruto."
Uchiha Naruto.
Since he had decided, he would see it through.
Another half month passed, and Karura also entered the delivery room.
Uchiha Yuzuru originally thought it would be a girl, but it turned out to be a boy.
The newborn child was a bit thin and small, looking much smaller than Sasuke and Naruto, but equally full of vitality.
Facing Karura's questioning gaze, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly said, "Gaara, the child will be named Uchiha Gaara."
Upon hearing this, two lines of clear tears suddenly flowed from Karura's eyes, "Yuzuru, you are so good to me; this child is a gift from heaven."
Gaara... Doesn't that mean 'love her, Karura'?
Yuzuru was confessing his love to her through the child's name; it was truly too romantic.
With the three children born successfully, Uchiha Yuzuru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Mikoto, Kushina, and Karura all had very good Physiques, and Tsunade was also present, he still couldn't help but worry a little.
Fortunately, everything happened smoothly.
As for Itachi, that guy suddenly had three more younger brothers and was busy all day long.
