Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 142 The Prototype of Corpse Reincarnation

After saying goodbye to Mikoto Uchiha, Gen Uchiha's next stop was Orochimaru.

He had previously promised Orochimaru that he would go to Orochimaru's place for an hour every day after the Jonin Conference to help with some experiments that required medical ninjutsu.

In exchange, Gen Uchiha also practiced the Body Revitalization Technique.

Although this technique is classified as B-rank in terms of difficulty to master, it is not difficult to get started as long as one has sufficient medical ninjutsu skills.

However, the Body Revitalization Technique is a passive ability that requires time to accumulate. In just over a month, it only slightly strengthened the body, and the effect was not obvious.

"You're here? First, help me cut open these two skulls. I need to transplant the chakra I extracted into other people's bodies while ensuring that their consciousness is still intact, and to determine what changes will occur."

In the underground laboratory, Orochimaru, wearing a white lab coat and a mask, addressed Uchiha Genji, who had just been disinfected and entered through the door.

"it is good."

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly to Orochimaru, a blue light emanating from his palm as he conjured a chakra scalpel. He then walked to the Sand Village ninja and began his surgical work.

More than half an hour later.

"He's dead. His consciousness only survived for fourteen minutes after the brain transplant. However, I can sense that his chakra has indeed changed. I need to consider the negative impact of the changes in chakra after his consciousness was transferred to his body —"

Orochimaru coldly stared at the two Sand Village corpses on the operating table, a thoughtful glint in his snake-like eyes.

Consciousness transfers within the body —

Reincarnation of a corpse?

Orochimaru's pursuit of immortality has indeed turned to this research direction.

"Orochimaru-sensei, is the method of immortality you're seeking simply transferring your consciousness into another body?"

Gen Uchiha looked at the specimens made from the corpses of several other Sand Village ninjas in the laboratory and spoke.

The dozen or so Sand Village survivors that were smuggled back from the battlefield have almost all been used up by Orochimaru, with only two remaining.

On average, he had to consume one test subject almost every three days.

The remaining two people probably won't be enough for him to wreak havoc for a week.

"That's right. There may be no one who stays young forever in this world, but there will always be new young people, as long as I can transfer my consciousness to a new body."

Theoretically, as long as human civilization continues, I can survive forever using this technique.

Orochimaru said calmly.

Uchiha Gen remained silent.

He knew the drawbacks of the Reincarnation technique.

One is that the spiritual power of the vessel must be weaker than Orochimaru's, otherwise a situation like possessing Sasuke would occur, resulting in a backlash. The other is the compatibility of the vessel. In the original timeline, Orochimaru did not have time to possess Sasuke and could only temporarily use Genyumaru, which led to a longer period of weakness and a lower lower limit of strength.

In addition, the Reincarnation of the Corpse has a three-year cooldown and is suspected of affecting the soul.

It has many shortcomings and is not truly perfect immortality.

But that is also immortality, which can indeed grant the caster an extremely long life, allowing them to watch the world change and the world transform.

"What, are you so averse to this kind of technique?"

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Gen with great interest.

"Ethics and life and death are inherently difficult problems. Perhaps I will not refuse to live in this way until I am dying or old and frail."

However, if there were a more perfect method, that would naturally be better.

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gen answered honestly.

If it really comes to that point, even if the Reincarnation of a Corpse has some flaws, it is not unacceptable.

That's a genuine second chance at life, where you can live it again and again.

"You're right, only by surviving can you be qualified to pursue anything else."

Imperfect immortality is still immortality. If we succeed, we will have endless time to slowly improve these flaws.

If you only dream of instant success and pursue perfect immortality, what if you can't achieve this within your limited lifespan? Wouldn't it all be a wasted effort, a life of several decades turning into nothing but a fleeting dream?

Orochimaru removed his white gloves and smiled elegantly.

Gen Uchiha also discovered that Orochimaru really liked Oda Nobunaga's death poem.

Orochimaru then began explaining to Gen Uchiha: "This technique now has a basic concept."

I paid a price to obtain the cultivation method of their family's Spirit Transformation Technique from Kato Dan, and I used the battle merits I accumulated in the Land of Rain to gain a chance to read the Book of Seals and obtain the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation developed by the Second Hokage.

These two techniques form the basis for transferring the physical body. First, the spiritification technique is used to separate the soul from the body, and then the method in the Impure World Reincarnation technique is used to offer a new body as a sacrifice to guide the soul to it.

However, there are still many difficulties to overcome. For example, the original Impure World Reincarnation technique was used on the dead, but we want to keep living. How can the soul take over the new body in the manner of the living? How can we deal with the original soul inside? How can we restore our strength? These are all problems that need to be solved.

But at least we have a direction now. With sufficient experimental funding and subjects, I should be able to overcome these shortcomings within ten years.

Orochimaru's tone was full of smugness and confidence.

Judging from Orochimaru's tone, Gen Uchiha knew that he was now unstoppable.

And he had no reason to stop it.

He's only a teenager, and Orochimaru is only in his early twenties. They're both young and haven't reached the point where they need to worry about their lifespan.

Once Orochimaru has overcome the emotional turmoil caused by the deaths of his parents and Nawaki, he will have more time and energy to research a more perfect path to immortality.

"Orochimaru-sensei, obtaining funding and test subjects for this is no simple matter."

Uchiha Gen remembered that in the original timeline, Orochimaru colluded with Danzo, going from being the promising first in line to become the Hokage to being exposed for his experiments and becoming a rogue ninja, all because of these things.

No money, no test subjects?

Danzo's roots can provide it, as long as you can give him what he wants.

From Yamato's Wood Release experiments to Shin Uchiha's arm transplant, Orochimaru used his scientific research capabilities to provide these to Danzo.

"Do you have a solution?"

Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

These are indeed two very difficult problems for him.

He has already poured all the wealth he accumulated during his more than ten years as a ninja into these experiments. Now, even the prisoners of war he secretly hid in the Land of Rain are almost all gone. At the current pace of the research, he will have to find a way to raise money and recruit more people in another week.
