Orochimaru brought Sasuke to assist in a laboratory and handed him a vial of prepared mutated cell fluid.
"Drink it!" Orochimaru ordered.
Without hesitation, Sasuke consumed the strange cell fluid in one gulp. Unlike mutated cells, this peculiar fluid had different side effects but retained the essence of mutated cells, a product Orochimaru had long researched.
"What?!" Sasuke screamed in pain, collapsing to the ground. Veins protruded from his body, and his face contorted in agony, a manifestation of the ultimate pain.
At that moment, the curse emerged! The clash between the curse's power and the mutated cells created an eruption within Sasuke.
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement as he observed and recorded the changes in Sasuke's body. He saw Sasuke as a living research subject.
As time passed, Sasuke's body seemed unable to withstand the transformation. Orochimaru then produced a bottle of medicinal liquid, the essence and blood concoction from researching Blood Essence Pill, which could strengthen chakra, blood, and condense blood vessels.
"Kabuto, perform medical ninjutsu on Sasuke!" Orochimaru ordered.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto replied.
Under the influence of medical ninjutsu and the blood essence, Sasuke's body began to stabilize. Eventually, the spell and the power of the mutated cells seemed to merge.
"The power of the mutated cells and the curse has merged, a miracle!" Orochimaru exclaimed with excitement. Once the fusion was complete, it promised incredible power.
After a prolonged period, Sasuke's body fully adapted to the fusion of the two forces, emanating a formidable aura. Sasuke's physical prowess skyrocketed.
"Kabuto, analyze the changes in Sasuke's body," Orochimaru commanded.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto started to examine Sasuke's body.
"He's grown 3 cm taller!"
"Blood is three times stronger, bones are four times stronger, and internal organs have strengthened to a certain extent."
"The amount of Chakra has increased by five times!"
"I can't comprehend the power after the fusion of the curse mark and the power of the mutated cells, so I can't analyze it."
"Also, Mr. Orochimaru, Sasuke's physical fitness is still improving. At this rate, it could improve by more than 50%!" Kabuto reported.
"Good, very good!" Orochimaru was extremely excited. He envisioned a perfect body that, if cultivated for another year or two, could yield a bountiful harvest.
As time passed, Sasuke remained unconscious. Meanwhile, in the Golden List live broadcast room's Eye Technique List began to refresh.
[Uchiha Madara: The Eye Technique List has finally been refreshed!]
[Hyuga Hiashi: I wonder if the ranking has changed?]
[Danzo: I hope my ranking remains the same, that's fine!]
[Uchiha Obito: Looking forward to the refresh reward of the Eye Technique List!]
[Kakashi: It would be great if you could get a reward at the level of the Purification Amulet!]
[Might Guy: Kakashi, don't think about it, this is a refresh reward, it is a secondary reward, how can there be such a high-level treasure!]
In an instant, the top spot on the Eye Technique List underwent a refreshing change.
This time, Yasao's Eye of the Heavenclaimed the first position, followed closely by the Dragon's Eye of Time Controle, securing the second spot on the Eye Technique List.
For this ranking, there were no surprises; everyone understood that surpassing these two exceptional pupil skills of Yasao was no easy feat, even for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Anticipating that the third position was rightfully hers, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya watched the list refresh without any nervousness or second thoughts. However, she was taken aback when the third spot on the Eye Technique List was unveiled, and it wasn't hers.
[Third place on the Eye Technique List: Yasao, possessor of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, capable of discerning all entities with a probability of death, such as life and soul with death lines. It enables the direct severance of the opponent's death lines, theoretically allowing him to bypass all defenses and induce the opponent's demise. Additionally, it can emit death rays, penetrating through the enemy and achieving lethal effects.]
"How can this be? How can the third place not be my Rinne Sharingan!!!!" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya exclaimed in shock.
Having consumed the Bloodline Fruit, the power of the Ōtsutsuki clan surged within her, significantly enhancing her pupil abilities, evident in the broken seal.
In her perspective, even if her Rinne Sharingan couldn't surpass the Dragon's Eye of Time Control and the Eye of the Heaven, it shouldn't have lowered her ranking.
Yet now, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception has surpassed her Rinne Sharingan.
"No, Yasao's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception has undergone a transformation, and there's a new death ray skill!" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya surmised that Yasao's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception must have undergone substantial improvements to surpass her Rinne Sharingan.
[Uchiha Madara: The third spot is no longer held by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan; instead, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception claims the third place!]
[Tsunade: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya must be furious right now!]
[Kakashi: The description of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception has changed slightly. It seems that Yasao's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception has seen significant improvements, or else it wouldn't have ascended to the third place!]
[Might Guy: Yasao's progress has been astonishing, not only in taijutsu but also in the enhancement of his pupil skills!]
[Fourth Raikage: Every time the top few, or even the top ten, are announced, it's always Yasao or his summoned beast. With so many rewards, his strength is sure to skyrocket. If you gave them all to me, I could improve just as rapidly!]
[Uchiha Izuna: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan might not even hold the fourth place.]
[Uchiha Madara: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's pupil technique falls short for the third place; but surpassing the Rinne Sharingan with the Kumoko's evil eye seems unlikely at this point.]
