People are in Konoha, scientific achievements are followed by blood

In the blink of an eye, Uzumaki Yayoi has stayed in Orochimaru's experimental base for more than two months.

During this period, his theoretical and experimental levels improved rapidly.

Uncle Snake will also regularly follow up on the progress of his experiments and answer some difficult questions for him.

Orochimaru seems to be more concerned about raising Yayoi than Tsunade, almost raising him as his own son.

Faced with Uncle Snake's kindness, Yayoi herself was actually a little panicked.

Anyone who has watched anime knows that Uncle Snake always likes to covet the bodies of his disciples, especially those disciples (or subordinates) with blood inheritance abilities.

There was Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan before, but he was finally given up voluntarily due to the blood disease.

Later, one of the protagonists, Uchiha Sasuke, ended up killing Uncle Snake.

However, it stands to reason that at this time, the 'immortal reincarnation' of taking another person's body should be far from being developed.

Orochimaru's targets are generally young children.

By the time the development of Fuzo Tensei is completed, Yayoi should be around 20 years old and will most likely be out of Uncle Snake's strike zone, so there is no need to worry too much.

Thanks to Uncle Snake's meticulous cultivation, Yayoi absorbed a lot of Orochimaru's biotechnologies and made certain progress in Hashirama's cell fusion research.

'Column cell fusion' is a small direction of the entire 'column cell research'.

The purpose is to combine Hashirama cells with ordinary ninja body cells at the cellular level to create ninjas with wood escape abilities.

While studying Hashirama cells, Yayoi unexpectedly discovered a characteristic of Hashirama cells: Hashirama cells have both plant and animal characteristics.

Moreover, after cell fusion, the fused hybrid cells will also have this property.

Orochimaru was aware of this characteristic, but he did not take this discovery seriously.

In Orochimaru's view, the 'Hashirama Cell Fusion' project itself is an attempt to enable ordinary ninjas to acquire wood escape abilities.

The purpose is to solve the rejection reaction of the recipient host when transplanting other people's cells.

The half-plant, half-animal nature of the inter-column fusion cells will bring more serious side effects than rejection.

A normal rejection reaction is an autoimmune process originating from the host. The worst result is the necrosis of foreign cells and tissues.

The side effect of fused cells between columns is that they in turn erode the host cells and cause necrosis of the host cells.

As a result, the recipient of the transplanted Hashirama fusion cells will die quickly, and the body will be swallowed by the Hashirama fusion cells and turn into a tree.

This process is somewhat similar to the time when Yayoi killed Bai Zetsu, but his cursed chakra was even more domineering than Hashirama's cells.

Thinking of the distant relationship between Senju and the Uzumaki clan, Yayoi couldn't help but wonder whether her 'natural curse mark' was a rare 'blood disease' unique to the Uzumaki clan?

Is this ability essentially an enhancement of Hashirama's cellular properties?

Although in Orochimaru's view, this characteristic of the fused cells between pillars is an out-and-out side effect that needs to be removed.

However, in Yayoi's view, this is a development direction with great potential.

Generally speaking, animal body cells are not totipotent and cannot develop into a complete individual, let alone fused cells.

This is why Orochimaru chose to transplant fusion cells into the host instead of directly cultivating a fusion individual.

However, in Yayoi's eyes, the Hashirama fusion cell was a rare totipotent animal body cell, even though it eventually developed into a tree.

Using this characteristic, the difficulty of 'cloning', an important biotechnology, will be greatly reduced.

However, it is still difficult to complete this technology on your own.

So Yayoi chose to communicate this idea to Orochimaru who came to him.

Orochimaru is very interested in this idea. What he likes most about Yayoi is these ideas of his.

However, Uncle Snake has recently been obsessed with experimenting with another idea previously proposed by Yayoi, namely: the concept of chromosomes and cell staining technology, and has no time to study the issue of cloning.

Before Yayoi joined, Uncle Snake had a very deep understanding of cells, but he did not have important concepts such as chromosomes and DNA in his knowledge.

Uncle Snake's research methods are very characteristic of the ninja world, that is: all research is based on chakra, so that most of the results are close to black technology.

He was able to use ninjutsu to sequence genes without knowing the concepts of DNA and RNA!They don't know the process of cell division or chromosomes, but they can use ninjutsu to achieve super-speed regeneration and even cloning.

After Yayoi proposed biological concepts such as chromosomes and DNA, Orochimaru was refreshing. In just two months, he achieved many results.

This time he took the initiative to look for Yayoi because of a surprising discovery during this period.

The two came to an experimental table. On the experimental table were four optical microscopes and four stained cell samples.

Uncle Snake motioned to Yayoi to observe the cell samples under the microscope.

These are normal cells in the dividing phase, and after staining, the chromosomes can be clearly seen.

After a brief observation, Yayoi quickly discovered something was wrong!

"There's something wrong with these cells!" Yayoi was surprised.

Among these four cell samples, only two had normal 23 pairs of chromosomes, while the other two actually had 24 pairs of chromosomes!

"These four cell samples are the cells of you, me, Hashirama, and an ordinary ninja." Orochimaru said.

'Who are you bluffing?Don't bully me for not studying enough! '

Yayoi looked unbelieving.

In his impression, normal humans only have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Among creatures with 24 chromosomes, the only ones closest to humans are large apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas.

Could it be said that the blood successor ninjas are essentially a bunch of monkeys? ! !

Yayoi couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Mr. Ban, Dazhu, these incredible figures, are they also monkeys?

A magical picture already appeared in his mind:

[On the battlefield of the Fourth Battle with flying sand, gravel and rubble.

Wearing dark red battle armor and purple samsara eyes, the male monkey crossed his chest with his paws, his black hair on his temples fluttering in the wind, and faced the tens of thousands of monkey allies in a domineering manner.

"Do you want to dance too?"]

The picture is so beautiful, I want to laugh a little.

Yayoi quickly stopped his thoughts from straying into strange places. If he continued thinking like this, he couldn't even look directly at himself.

There are also problems with this statement.

Although great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are very closely related to humans, they are not the same species after all.

Reproductive isolation is no joke!

However, blood ninjas and ordinary people can produce offspring normally!

If the chromosome numbers don't match, how do their gametes combine?How do you produce offspring?

Where does reproductive isolation have any face? !

The biologists of the earth are crying!

But then again, in the ninja world, Newton's coffin board may not be able to hold it down, let alone a small biological isolation.

Orochimaru didn't notice Yayoi's accusation. There was a hint of excitement in his hoarse voice, and he asked Yayoi:

"Then do you know which category your cells and mine are in?"

Yayoi didn't speak for a while, but she gradually realized something in her heart.

"That's right! It's just what you imagined! Both you and Hashirama's cells have one more pair of chromosomes than an ordinary ninja!"

Orochimaru stared at Yayoi closely and told the truth with some fanaticism: "This is the 24th pair of chromosomes unique to the blood ninja!"

"In other words, you blood successor ninjas are essentially different creatures from ordinary people!"

Yayoi felt a little numb for a moment, and he saw the familiar possessiveness in Orochimaru's eyes.

He had a hunch that at this moment, Uncle Snake's direction in researching the route of immortality had fundamentally changed.

The research on immortality that originally had multiple options has completely left only one path.

That is, seize the body.

Like a white snake, it sheds its skin and is reborn.Abandon the old body and replace it with a new one that is younger and better.

Seize the body of the blood successor ninja and gain their lifespan and talents!

Yayoi sighed in her heart: Orochimaru finally embarked on this path.

Looking at Uncle Snake now, he seemed to have seen the immortal snake in the future that kept taking other people's bodies and shed its skin and reincarnated.

Uncle Snake will eventually become Aunt Snake.
