Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 599: What else can you play? Playing with snakes?

After the Five Kage Summit, when Orochimaru took the initiative to come to him and seek cooperation, Tachibana Jianchuan didn't actually take it that seriously.

Not to mention the previous hatred between the two, just considering the cunningness of Orochimaru, Jianchuan Ju felt that he had to be extra vigilant when working with him.

No one can guarantee the authenticity of the information passed on by Orochimaru without repeated confirmation.

However, after Jianchuan Ju drew the white item, the 'branch of Xerneas', his mentality changed slightly.

After all, putting aside his personality and character, Orochimaru's scientific research level, especially in life sciences, can be called the black technology in the ninja world.

If it could really be cultivated through some cells, Jianchuan Ju felt that even if its strength was not as good as the Ten-tailed Divine Tree, it would probably not be far behind.

Of course, it was impossible for Jianchuan Tachibana to directly deliver the "branch of Xerneas" to Orochimaru at the beginning.

However, in order to arouse Orochimaru's research interest, Jianchuan Tachibana still picked and chose among the white items and chose the 'Shedding of Fujimoto Snake', a special Pokémon material that has both the 'Wood Release' nature and the characteristics of snakes as bait.

Orochimaru did live up to Jianchuan Tachibana's expectations and successfully completed the cell cloning in just half a year.

However, when Jianchuanju retrieved the research results and handed them over to the scientific research team in the village for replication.

I don't know whether Orochimaru has some reservations about the research results, or the level of the researchers under Jianchuan Tachibana is too low.

The first six cloning attempts all ended in failure.

This seventh time was to enrich the experimental data, obtain more control groups, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent cultivation of Xerneas.

Jianchuanju also specially added two new Pokémon, namely the breeding tasks of Charmander and Squirtle.

Unexpectedly, this time his luck exploded and all three Pokémon were successfully cloned.

Although Jianchuanju is not sure at the moment whether these three Pokémon still have the ability to upgrade and evolve like the original ones.

However, after a period of sorting out and summarizing experience, I think the real Xerneas clones can be launched one after another.

Looking at the little Squirtle in Saigyouji's arms, he still couldn't control his curiosity and once again poked his head out of his shell, looking around.

Jianchuan Ju smiled and walked up to pinch the guy's head, then he gave instructions to the other researchers.

"We still need to continue collecting subsequent experimental data, and strive to produce stable results as soon as possible."

"But we must make sure that everyone does not treat these little guys as mere experimental subjects. If there is any experiment that requires cooperation, coax them to come, and no one is allowed to force them!"

Hearing the very serious tone of Lord Mizukage, everyone in the laboratory became cautious.

Although the general manager didn't quite understand why Jianchuan Ju had such a request, he still nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Mizukage-sama. These are important assets of the Hidden Mist Village. We will definitely treat them as treasures!"

Jianchuan Ju frowned slightly, but still reminded again.

"They are not assets, they are partners. Forget it, just treat these little guys like your own sons and spoil them!"

Upon hearing this, the person in charge immediately nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

This is not to say that Jianchuan Ju is making a fuss or being overly loving or anything like that.

The main thing is that since the cloned Pokémon has quite good intelligence, rather than just a shell, Jianchuan Ju will naturally have to adjust his response strategy. In his impression, there are many such villain organizations in the Pokémon world that do not treat Pokémon as "people".

In the end, these organizations basically didn't get any good results.

Jianchuan Ju doesn't want his subordinates to come to him one day while he is sitting at home and report the bad news that there is a mass riot of Pokémon in the laboratory.

"After No. 7 and No. 8 have collected the existing data, they should also stop injecting the inhibitor as soon as possible and lift the coma."

"Later, I will arrange for someone to build a children's play area and a behavioral teacher in the laboratory. When I am not doing any observation or research, I will let these three little guys live in the play area."

"As for number nine."

Looking at the Squirtle who was secretly observing him in the shell, Jianchuan Ju asked Saigyouji Kabuto softly.

"How's it going, Kabuto? I see that the little guy is pretty close to you, are you interested in signing a spiritual contract with it?"

As Squirtle just escaped from the experimental culture tank, it is definitely impossible to release them into the outside world to live in a short period of time, regardless of their adaptability to the environment or the stability of their genetic body.

Now, as an intern researcher here, Saigyouji Kabuto needs to go in and out here frequently, and Jianchuan Tachibana trusts him quite a bit.

Becoming a partner with Squirtle seems like a good choice.

However, when Saigyouji Kabuto looked at the silly, timid, and obviously incapable blue little turtle in his arms, his face, like that of a little adult, was filled with embarrassment.

"Teacher Tachibana"

"It's okay. Don't rush to give me an answer. Build a good relationship with this little guy first. Whether or not to sign a spiritual contract is a matter for the future."

Seeing that his teacher didn't even give him a chance to object, Dou could only hold the little turtle in his arms and nodded aggrievedly.

"Hmph~ Such a cute kid, why did you have to play with snakes when there are so many other things to play with? Just play with turtles from now on~"

Thinking back to the original work, after Dou learned the Ryuchidong Sage Mode, he looked like a half-human, half-snake. Jianchuan Ju made the choice for his disciple directly.

After finishing the matter with Dou, Jianchuan Ju turned to the laboratory director and continued to give instructions.

"You should carry out the technical summary and follow-up observation as much as possible simultaneously, and the batch cloning work also needs to be put on track as soon as possible."

"I will send you some different cell materials later. Once the technology for this batch is completely stable, I will consider trying more cloning and replication."

Hearing that Lord Mizukage had begun to arrange new tasks, the person in charge of the experiment began to take notes on paper with sweat on his forehead.

"Lord Mizukage, we have just achieved preliminary results. If we want to replicate them in batches, the cost and stability will be difficult to control."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju waved his hand and acted like an unreasonable leader.

"There will definitely be difficulties, but I will give you sufficient support in terms of funding and personnel. If you have any questions or needs, you can report to me at any time."

"But this experiment has been delayed long enough, and this is even with the existing experimental procedures."

"Don't make me think you're worthless."

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju turned around and left the laboratory.
