On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

He had just seen the tomoe in Subject One's Sharingan spinning so intensely that he thought he might gain an extra pair of Mangekyou Sharingan today.

In the end, it still didn't work; they couldn't be combined.

'Is it because he doesn't have Uchiha blood?' Nagasawa had to consider this question.

Although there are examples like Kakashi, who possesses the Kaleidoscope of Outer Race, Kakashi's experience is too unique.

His kaleidoscope was probably activated when Obito opened it.

However, the true owner of the Sharingan in the first experimental subject is probably already long gone, so Kakashi's example is not relevant at all.

"What's wrong, Nagasawa? The experiment should have been successful." Because the two were standing together, and Orochimaru was a Kage-level shinobi, he naturally heard Nagasawa's soft sigh.

"It's nothing, I'm just relieved that this experiment is finally going to yield some results," Nagasawa said casually, without mentioning the kaleidoscope.

Given Orochimaru's personality, if he knew that there was a Mangekyou Sharingan above the three-tomoe Sharingan, he would definitely become curious and might very well cause trouble in secret.

Of course, before being brutally beaten by the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru would never have developed such a fanatical infatuation with the Uchiha clan.

At most, people might be curious, because even three tomoe is a powerful existence for ordinary ninjas, so what kind of power would the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is above three tomoe, possess?

Orochimaru smiled, said nothing, and then activated the technique he had previously placed on Subject Number One.

Stimulated by the procedure, Subject Number One regained consciousness, and a glimmer of clarity appeared in his eyes.

"Orochimaru, how dare you attack Root! Lord Danzo will not let you get away with this!" Subject Number One roared at Orochimaru.

"Heh." Orochimaru, who was being threatened, just chuckled coldly. He was still counting on Danzo, but Danzo himself was already in prison and couldn't even protect himself.

Because this member of the Root family had followed Danzo for a long time and had been thoroughly brainwashed, Orochimaru didn't expect to trick him into becoming a subordinate, but only as a one-time experimental subject.

"Looks like you're in good spirits; we can conduct some combat experiments now." Orochimaru revealed a cold smile.

Orochimaru licked his lips and activated the technique again, causing the first test subject to faint.

Nagasawa also released the seal on the experimental subject, and the two packed their things and headed out of the village.

The next experiment might be too big to be conducted in the village, or it will be discovered.

Danzo had his own base outside the village, and Orochimaru naturally did as well.

They were heading to a base that Orochimaru had abandoned.

Because Root was disbanded, Danzo not only lost the village's funding, but also faced restrictions on making money in the ninja world using Root's name, which greatly reduced Orochimaru's research funding.

Therefore, some less important research bases were abandoned.

One of the bases they were going to was the research base that Orochimaru used to study some of the ninja snakes in Ryuchi Cave.

So they decided to try a waste utilization project and conduct experiments in this abandoned base.

Orochimaru and Nagasawa first tested how many facilities in the base were still usable.

Perhaps because it wasn't abandoned for long, the monitoring equipment is in good condition and still usable.

Orochimaru placed the first test subject in the center of the base, activated the technique, and summoned a large number of ninja snakes. Finally, Orochimaru returned to the monitoring room.

Chapter 136 Theoretical Kage Level

Once the spell was activated, Subject Number One quickly regained consciousness and stood up.

He looked around warily, but did not see Orochimaru or Nagasawa. Instead, he noticed many snakes of various sizes crawling toward him.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

Subject Number One quickly formed hand seals and used his most proficient Earth Release ninjutsu.

Pfft! Pfft!

A dragon head made of mud and stone rose up from underground and kept spitting mud bullets at the attacking swarm of snakes.

The snakes hit by the mud bullets were all knocked away, and the more vulnerable ones even had their bodies broken.

Under the dense cover of mud bombs, the snakes were either killed or wounded, and the remaining small group was easily dealt with by Subject One.

Subject One looked surprised; when did his earth dragon bullet become so powerful?

Because of the seal placed on his body by Nagasawa and the cursed seal of Orochimaru, Experiment 1 showed that he did not have an accurate concept of his own physical strength.

Subject Number One clenched his fist and touched his eyes. He had never felt his body's strength and chakra so powerful. The world seemed different to him.

"Is this your doing, Orochimaru? You'll regret this. I'll use the power you gave me to kill you!" Subject Number One revealed a ferocious expression.

During his time in Orochimaru's laboratory, he suffered immense torment.

Orochimaru doesn't care about his test subjects; he just digs out their eyes with his bare hands without giving them any anesthesia.

Moreover, he didn't know what experiments Orochimaru had done on him, but he often felt a tearing pain in his body, as if each cell was splitting open.

Inside the monitoring room.

"His expression seemed a bit surprised; he probably didn't know why his Earth Release technique had become stronger," Yongze said, looking at the first experimental subject on the monitor.

"Wood Release is a bloodline limit created by the combination of Earth and Water attributes. Its Earth attribute nature transformation is quite powerful. It seems that even a secondary cell should not be underestimated."

Orochimaru observed the first test subject and made an analysis.

In his opinion, that Earth Dragon Bullet attack was no longer at the level of an ordinary Jonin; it even had a touch of the style of Sarutobi-sensei.

"However, we can't draw any conclusions yet. We can't tell much from ordinary snake groups." Orochimaru stared at the monitor. Soon, five ninja snakes over ten meters long would be heading to test subject number one.

Subject One is searching for Orochimaru's location within the research base.

As a senior member of Root, he also knew a little about Orochimaru.

Since Orochimaru is experimenting on him, he must be observing him here.

Soon, Subject Number One's sharp Sharingan spotted a huge black figure rushing towards him.

Whoosh!

Subject One's speed exploded, and it left the original spot.

Rumble!!

An eighteen-meter-long black serpent crashed into the spot where the first test subject had just stood, leaving a large crater.

Just as Subject One was preparing to attack the giant black snake, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from his side again.

Without hesitation, Subject One moved swiftly, chakra attached to his feet, and stood on a large pillar in the base.

Rumble!!!

A giant red snake rushed out, its blood-red maw wide open, and lunged at the first test subject.

Unfortunately, Subject Number One had the Sharingan with three tomoe, and had already seen through the red serpent's movements, jumping onto the large stone pillar on the base long ago.

hiss! !

Suddenly, a snake's breath was heard, and Subject Number One disappeared again.

Using chakra, Subject Number One ran swiftly along the wall as if it were flat ground.

A giant white snake, larger than both the black and red snakes, darted out and smashed the massive stone pillar in two with its tail.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The huge stone pillar fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"call!"

Looking at the three enormous snakes, Subject Number One let out a breath.

If it were the old him, he would have turned around and left without any hesitation.

Although these three giant snakes do not know ninjutsu, their enormous bodies give them great strength and considerable defense, making them difficult to deal with.

However, his strength has greatly increased now, and he is eager to seek revenge on Orochimaru, so he will not run away.

Since Orochimaru wanted to experiment on him, he decided to let Orochimaru see his power for himself.

Without hesitation, Subject Number One quickly formed hand seals and charged towards the seemingly easiest-to-bully red giant snake.

"Earth escape, earth spear!"

Seeing that this little guy dared to throw his life away, the giant red snake excitedly opened its blood-red maw and lunged at the first test subject.

Subject One seemed to ignore the attack of the giant red serpent, continuing its offensive pace, before being swallowed whole by the serpent.

*Pfft!*

A blood-red figure burst out from the giant snake's body.

Large amounts of blood were sprayed into the air.

Subject One shook the sticky blood off his hands and stared expressionlessly at the other two giant snakes.

No matter how powerful this beast is, it's still just a beast; how dare it swallow him whole?

Roar! !

Whether it was the death of their companion that spurred them, or the large amount of blood spilled on the base that spurted them, the remaining two giant snakes also charged towards the first experimental subject with reckless abandon.

However, faced with the greatly increased strength and the Sharingan of the Three Tomoe, the Experiment 1 quickly followed in the footsteps of the Red Serpent and died at the hands of the Experiment 1.

"It seems that this experiment was indeed a success. With the balance of secondary Hashirama cells and Sharingan, Subject Number One's strength has increased significantly, and this is before Subject Number One even learned Wood Release."

Seeing the performance of the first experimental subject, Yongze nodded.

The experimental results were slightly better than he had expected.

If the first test subject hadn't been a registered ninja of Konoha, but merely Danzo's personal subordinate, this test subject might have been able to provide him with a Kage-level score.

Already an outstanding Jonin, with the help of secondary Hashirama cells and the Sharingan, he directly broke through to the Kage level.

However, Subject No. 1 may be the weakest Kage-level being in history.

Because he only has theoretical Kage-level strength, and since the Sharingan cannot be used for genjutsu, it can only enhance his observation ability and cannot fully utilize the Sharingan's function.

Furthermore, he had never learned Wood Release ninjutsu, and he was unable to use his Wood Release bloodline limit.

The current test subject is theoretically a Kage-level ninja, but in reality, he is an elite Jonin.

"Should you go or should I go?" Nagasawa asked Orochimaru, watching the first experimental subject begin to wreak havoc in the abandoned base.

Now that we know the experiment was successful, it's time to retrieve the samples.
