Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

In the laboratory, Orochimaru said: "Nagato-kun, to cultivate another body of yours, we need to extract your cells as a blueprint. We also need the cells of Hashirama Senju and the cells of the Uchiha clan."

"I have the cells of Lord Hashirama in my hands. I took them from Hashirama's cell laboratory in Konoha when I defected from Konoha."

"That laboratory was established during the Second Hokage's time for cell research and forbidden techniques development. It's too old, so the cells aren't pure enough to meet your needs."

Nagato's eyes turned gloomy: "I know where the purest Hashirama cells are."

"Oh?" Orochimaru raised his eyebrows.

Nagato said: "During the battle with Senju Hashirama, Madara bit off a piece of Hashirama's flesh and transplanted it to his own wound. He reserved a portion of Hashirama's original cells and cultivated them with the help of the Outer Path Demon Statue summoned by the Rinnegan."

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly brightened: "Where is the Outer Path Demon Statue now?"

"In Uchiha Obito's lair, my Samsara Eye can be used for spiritual summons at any time."

Nagato looked downcast and clenched his fists.

Obito will definitely notice the summoning of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

In other words... there will be a risk of alerting the enemy.

Half a month ago, he and the government finally negotiated and managed to secure a one-year buffer period.

However, whether or not he could obtain Hashirama's cells at this moment was related to his most core interests. It would be too frustrating to postpone the plan for a year in order not to alert the enemy.

At this moment, he thought that in his Hell, the body and soul of a White Zetsu were still stored. If he could make good use of it, he might be able to get the cells of Hashirama without anyone noticing.

Nagato shared his thoughts and concerns with Orochimaru.

"White Zetsu can communicate with each other over long distances through their consciousness. If they are recognized by other White Zetsu, then it's game over."

"Well." Orochimaru held his chin with his slender hand, his eyes flickering, "Nagato-kun, I haven't studied the White Zetsu you mentioned yet, can you lend me the White Zetsu corpse in your collection to study? Maybe I can find a way to crack that kind of remote communication."

"That's great!" Without saying a word, Nagato used the Hell Road to summon the King of Hell, who spit out White Zetsu's body.

Orochimaru's eyes focused, "I see. From it, I can indeed sense a power similar to that of Hashirama-sama's cells. But if Hashirama-sama is the bright moon, they are as weak as fireflies."

Nagato said: "I read in 'Ayahashi' that these guys are the product of the infinite moon reading in the ancient times, and the outer path demon statue I just mentioned is the body of the Ten Tails and the sacred tree. I hope this information will be useful for your research."

Although Orochimaru in the later part of the original work has studied White Zetsu's perception method and utilization method thoroughly...but in the end it requires the accumulation of time.

To be honest, Nagato didn't have high hopes for this current research which was just for cramming.

If it works, that would be great, but if it doesn't, he is already prepared to forcibly communicate with the heretic golem.

As for how to explain it to Obito?

Haha, Payne once said something very well.

Things always happen suddenly, and we can find the reasons later.

The so-called one-year agreement is not absolute, depending on the development of the situation.

But what Nagato didn't expect was that in this matter, Orochimaru didn't take long to give him a big surprise. It wasn't something that could be said later, because it would happen soon.

Back to the present, Orochimaru ordered Kabuto Yakushi to preserve White Zetsu's body in a special device, and then the three of them walked out of the laboratory together.

"As for Hashirama-sama's cells, wait for my news for now. During this time, Nagato-kun, you can find a way to get the Uchiha clan's cells."

"The other body I will cultivate for you will be a completely new individual in terms of life. So, if everything goes well, you will be able to open your own Sharingan."

"That will be a brand new pair of eyes. Unfortunately, that brand new pair of eyes cannot escape the curse of the Uchiha clan. If you open the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future, you will also face the fate of being destined to go blind."

Nagato's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, I will experience the same eye power evolution process as Uchiha Madara?"

Orochimaru smiled knowingly: "Yes, when your eyes are on the verge of blindness, you need to choose another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan from your direct blood relatives within three generations to gain a new pair of eye power - the "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

Nagato said: "A life created out of thin air does not have three generations of blood relatives."

Orochimaru raised his lips to a charming smile. "So, I need to do some tricks, Nagato-kun. If you want to transplant someone's eyes in the future, please bring me his blood serum sample. When making this embryo, I will try to select some of your cells to promote the 'blood' relationship between you two."

Nagato knew nothing about technical matters. But he never expected...he could choose!

Although it was a bit excessive, he asked one more question: "Spare eye... can I only choose one?"

"Ah?" Orochimaru... couldn't think of that either. After all, he only has one pair of eyes. "Then how many do you want to choose?"

Nagato smiled and said, "Of course the more the better. After all, I don't know what kind of eye power my future Mangekyō Sharingan will awaken. If it conflicts with the backup eye I choose, wouldn't it be a waste of God's gift? Therefore, the more choices the better!"

Orochimaru nodded: "That's true! With your own Uzumaki clan cells as a blueprint, plus the enhancement of Hashirama's cells, you should have an extraordinary tolerance for Uchiha cells..."

After careful consideration, Orochimaru gave a precise indicator: "But even so, for the stability of the embryo, the number of samples you use for eye selection should not exceed five!"

"Five people!?"

Oh my god... Nagato almost lost his composure. He calmed himself down and said in a high-profile manner, "So, I need to get serum samples from five Uchiha people?"

"Yes."

Nagato stopped and said, "Oh right... if the child is already in the mother's womb but has not yet been born, how should I choose? Wait until he is born?"

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly: "Well, if... the child is already in the mother's womb, then we can just take the mother's blood sample."

"understood."

It seems... I'm going to be busy.

The corners of Nagato's mouth rose slightly.

At the exit of Orochimaru's underground base, he handed him a scroll.

"This is the contract for the communication of the Samsara Eye to the Animal Realm. After signing, I can use the power of the Animal Realm to communicate with you anytime and anywhere."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment: "Can I summon spirits in reverse?"

Nagato shook his head: "No, this spiritual communication is one-way, you can't communicate with me in reverse."

"But if you have any news, inject blood into the contract, and I will be able to sense it and channel it to you."

"I see."

After Orochimaru placed the hand seal, he tilted his head back and stuffed the scroll deep into his throat.

"Gudong..." After swallowing hard, Orochimaru licked his tongue and laughed hoarsely: "Nagato-kun, let's wait for good news from each other~."

Nagato smiled and said, "Okay, when we are done with this, let's go to the bathhouse together."

He looked at Kabuto who was behind Orochimaru: "Kabuto, you will come along then."
