Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

"Reincarnation!"

This is the name Orochimaru gave to the forbidden technique he was currently researching.

A technique that has never appeared before.

Completely innovative techniques.

Its function is very simple.

It means allowing a person's soul to live in another body, obtaining a completely new body and lifespan by changing the soul.

Qing never expected that she would be able to participate in the research of this technique.

At this moment, he sat upright in a chair in a bedroom deep inside the secret base, with a one-meter-long wooden table in front of him. On the table were a dozen or so scrolls, all of which contained information collected by Orochimaru.

He observed for four or five days and roughly understood the world's definition of the soul.

Some results were achieved during this period, which were then submitted to Orochimaru.

In this Naruto world.

The soul is a part of the body.

This is a completely new concept compared to the previous life.

After a person dies, that is, when their lifespan ends, their soul leaves the body and goes to the Pure Land.

Ancient texts record that the full name of Pure Land is the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

A world created by the Sage of Six Paths, belonging to the soul.

The soul has a physical form and exists in the spiritual world as the original appearance of the human body.

In the real world, it would be a beam of light or a translucent body.

It is composed entirely of spiritual energy.

It is part of chakra.

Chakra also contains a portion of soul power.

There are many forbidden techniques involving the soul in the ninja world, such as Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Reaper Death Seal, Adamantine Sealing Chains, Spirit Transformation Technique, Mind Transfer Technique, Soul Separation Technique, Impure World Reincarnation, Rinne Rebirth, Kotoamatsukami, Tsukuyomi, and so on.

The scroll placed in front of Qing contained four techniques: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, Spirit Transformation Technique, and Mind Transfer Technique.

Both require the use of spiritual power.

Orochimaru's idea was to create a technique specifically for souls, granting them the ability to attack other souls and seize their bodies by devouring their souls.

Similar to the concept of "body possession" in the cultivation of immortality.

It requires an absolutely enormous spiritual force.

However, preparations for measures after possession were inadequate, and there was no rehearsal of possible abnormal situations.

For example, problems such as failed possession, damage to the soul, and failed spiritual fusion.

There was no preparation whatsoever, and no means of countermeasures were left behind.

"Knock knock, knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

This woke Qing, who had just dozed off, from her sleep.

He rubbed his eyes, got up, and opened the door.

At the entrance, Mitarashi Anko stood gracefully, holding a bento box.

"Good morning. I heard from your teacher that you stayed in your room for a whole day and night. I'm bringing you some food."

Her gaze swept over Qing's tired face, and the slight resentment in her heart dissipated.

"Your body belongs to your teacher; don't mistreat it, lest you worry your teacher!"

"Do you like glutinous rice balls?"

Hongdou handed over the bento box, opened it, and revealed the dishes inside.

One meat dish and two vegetable dishes: red bean paste, stewed meat, and stir-fried greens. The staple food is glutinous rice balls.

Her favorite food.

"Thanks."

Qing accepted it without hesitation and began to eat heartily; he was indeed hungry.

During her time with Orochimaru, Anko always brought her food.

Orochimaru can't cook either.

She was basically in charge of logistics.

Orochimaru also really liked her cooking.

Although simple, it has a unique flavor.

Qing was used to working overtime and her mealtimes were irregular.

Aside from being a little short-tempered, this girl is a nice person.

"In a few days, Lord Orochimaru will implant a cursed seal into us, you know? In order to ensure the success of the experiment, we must keep our bodies in peak condition."

Red Bean reminded her.

Watching Qing wolf down her food, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes; she really enjoyed seeing others eat the food she made.

This is the best compliment to her cooking skills.

Orochimaru didn't like her cooking and often left leftovers, while Ao would finish every single meal.

"I know, he told me that when he first came back."

"Are you sure you want to choose to have it implanted? It's very risky. This cursed seal has never been implanted into a human body before."

Qing reminded him.

The cursed seal was his first suggestion, compared to the cursed seal that Orochimaru himself created based on natural energy.

Many changes have occurred.

First, it enhanced the communication capabilities of the Reaper Death Seal, breaking the method of communicating with the Grim Reaper. This was applied to the curse seal, creating a top-down control system that allowed the main soul to monitor the status of the divided souls at any time.

To avoid being replaced by a split soul instead of the main soul.

Then, the soul independence characteristic of the Spirit Transformation Technique is added, allowing each cursed seal to escape independently and return to its original body after the host dies.

Furthermore, the addition of the soul-splitting characteristic of multiple shadow clones minimizes the cost of splitting the soul.

This minimizes the damage to the soul during the process of creating the curse seal.

Finally, through the special soul summoning of Impure World Reincarnation, the summoning characteristics of the cursed seal are enhanced, allowing the power accumulated by the separated cursed seal to return to the host's body.

The only price is the death of the host.

The latest version of the curse seal is actually a prerequisite for the forbidden technique "Reincarnation".

The main purpose is to improve the characteristics of the 'container' to make it more suitable for reincarnation.

"I'm not afraid. I'll cooperate unconditionally as long as the teacher needs me."

Hongdou said without hesitation.

Her purpose in existence is to fulfill all of Orochimaru's demands and carry out all of his orders.

Even if it meant risking her life, she would not hesitate.

"I understand... Once this curse is placed, it's very difficult to change... Your soul will be branded with the teacher's mark, and you may eventually become a part of the teacher..."

Qing remained silent for a moment, then finally offered a reminder.

The cursed seal carries a portion of Orochimaru's soul essence. Under the influence of natural energy, it will continuously assimilate Anko's soul, causing her personality and body to gradually transform into Orochimaru's.

"Isn't this our duty as students directly taught by our teacher? To carry on the teacher's will?"

After hearing this, Hongdou's eyes lit up and she said...

Ao remained silent. He knew that Anko had most likely misunderstood something, but Anko's loyalty to Orochimaru was beyond question.

But he couldn't understand why Anko didn't defect with Orochimaru in the future.

Even if she hadn't planted the curse mark, she wouldn't betray Orochimaru.

Three days later.

In the dark base.

The laboratory was brightly lit.

Orochimaru formed hand seals and casually collapsed to the ground.

A spirit slowly floated in mid-air.

A body without a soul has no defensive capabilities.

Uchiha Ao stood aside, quietly watching this scene.

At this moment, with just a thought, he could easily kill Orochimaru.

But he did not do that.

"Let's begin."

Orochimaru, in his spirit form, gave the order.

He trusted his judgment and entrusted the experiment to Qing, believing that Qing would not allow the experiment to fail in order to kill him.

Uchiha Ao nodded.

A faint blue light slowly emerged from his hands; this was a scalpel formed from his spiritual power, and also a part of his soul.

Through this intangible weapon, a piece of flesh was severed from Orochimaru's spirit's right arm and sealed within a scroll.

next moment.

Orochimaru's spirit then returned to its original form.

It slowly merged into its body on the ground, and then shakily stood up.

A large, gray-black snake emerged from the sleeve and swallowed the scroll that sealed the soul in one gulp.
