Chapter 49 : Cloning!!

[We all know that Orochimaru's reincarnation isn't perfect. Each time he reincarnates, his soul gets damaged.]

[Why is this so?]

[It's because the body and soul aren't compatible, which harms the soul.]

[So the question is, how can we obtain a body that completely matches our own soul?]

Seeing this, Tobirama Senju from the 21st year of Konoha and Orochimaru from the 61st year of Konoha suddenly became focused.

Hayashi Sora in the picture didn't keep the audience in suspense and spoke directly.

[I think we can try cloning technology.]

What is cloning?

[Cloning refers to the asexual reproduction of organisms through somatic cells, and the offspring individuals have exactly the same genotype formed by asexual reproduction.]

[Since the genes are exactly the same as yours, I think your soul shouldn't reject it, right?]

[Of course, in modern society, using cloning technology is illegal.]

[However, in the ninja world, where human life is less valuable than a dog's and the law is not yet sound, there aren't many restrictions.]

[In fact, in Boruto, Orochimaru used his own genes and some other excellent genes to create Mitsuki.]

At this moment, a picture of Mitsuki appeared on the screen at a very timely moment.

Jiraiya: "Pale skin, amber eyes, this guy looks just like you, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya's remarks and looked thoughtful.

Since the person on the light screen said he would successfully create this child during the Boruto period, although he didn't know the exact time, Orochimaru felt that with his current abilities, he was confident he could use his own cells to create a body that perfectly matched his soul.

All those experiments done using Hashirama's cells were not in vain.

Senju Tobirama also thought of this.

Since Orochimaru forty years later could use his elder brother's cells to create Yamato, then using his own cells to create another "self" should be no problem, right?

"It seems like I have to visit once a month."

Of course, Tobirama Senju wouldn't completely pin his hopes on Orochimaru forty years later.

His research ability is also very strong.

This time, with the direction given by Hayashi Sora, he believed that as long as he had enough time, he could also create his own clone.

Just to save time, both parties can benefit from each other.

"It would be horrible if it succeeded."

Yes.

Senju Tobirama had already foreseen the scene of Konoha's powerful ninja being "immortal and indestructible."

In a way, it is scary.

[Mitsuki was originally created as a vessel for Orochimaru.]

[But after spending some time together, Orochimaru developed feelings for the child and gradually began to treat him as a normal person.]

[And in order to let him make friends and live a life different from his own, he also put Mitsuki in the Konoha Ninja School.]

[After graduating from the Ninja Academy, he became a member of the same class as Uzumaki Boruto and Uchiha Sarada, and his instructor was Sarutobi Konohamaru.]

[This is the protagonist team. The former is the son of Uzumaki Naruto, the latter is the daughter of Uchiha Sasuke, and Sarutobi Konohamaru is the grandson of the Third Hokage and Naruto's younger brother. Mitsuki has the weakest background in this team.]

[The "son" of Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, is really not worthy of the slightest bit of respect.]

"Ahahahahaha, Orochimaru, this guy said you have no cards."

The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya patted Orochimaru on the back and laughed wildly.

"Idiot."

Orochimaru didn't take it seriously and said sarcastically, "Don't forget, he was talking about Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin. Aren't you also one of the Legendary Sannin? I don't have any cards, but do you have any cards?"

"Well..."

Jiraiya's smile suddenly stopped.

Come to think of it, what Orochimaru said is not wrong.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Uzumaki Naruto? Ha, isn't that the nine-tailed brat I took in as my disciple some time ago?"

"Also, who is this Uchiha Sasuke?"

Sarutobi Konohamaru, Jiraiya knew it. After all, Hayashi Sora had mentioned that he was the grandson of the Third Hokage.

He was also aware of Uzumaki Naruto. It was the old man who had asked him to accept Naruto as his disciple upon returning to the village. However, he didn't know much about Naruto's past or background, only guessing from his surname.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, Jiraiya had no idea what he was talking about.

At this moment, the Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya with a complicated expression and said, "I think it's time to tell you about Naruto's life story. In fact, Naruto is the son of Minato and Kushina, Sasuke is the son of Fugaku and Mikoto, and he has an older brother named Uchiha Itachi."

"He's Minato and Kushina's son."

Jiraiya's expression turned melancholic and awkward.

As the son of his favorite disciple, he had never even met him once.

The reason he accepted Uzumaki Naruto at that time was due to the old man's instructions and Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even though Naruto's name was the same as the protagonist in a novel he had written many years ago, he never thought of him as the Fourth Hokage's orphan son.

At this moment, he somewhat understood why the Nidaime (Second Hokage) couldn't stand his behavior and insisted that he become the Fifth Hokage.

This is a responsibility, and he cannot escape it even if he wants to.

But isn't this relationship a bit messy?

Naruto is his disciple, and Minato, Naruto's father, is also his disciple.

What should he address Minato as when he sees him next time?

Call him dad? Or call him senior brother?

The more he thought about it, the more speechless he became, so Jiraiya had no choice but to change the subject.

"Old man, was Naruto's childhood okay?"

Initially, Jiraiya thought that since Naruto was the Fourth Hokage's orphan and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, his life would not be too bad.

Unexpectedly, the actual situation was very different from what he had imagined.

"Well?"

Now it was the Third Hokage's turn to feel embarrassed.

He knew very well how Naruto's childhood had been.

Naruto wanted to buy things outside, but no one would sell to him.

He wanted to play with other kids, but they wouldn't play with him.

The food wasn't good, and neither were his clothes.

The reason for this situation is that Danzo spread the rumor in the village that Naruto is a demon fox, wanting to recruit Naruto into the Root and make him a killing machine of the Root.

That's right, this is all Danzo's fault, and it has nothing to do with me, the Third Hokage.

"Fine."

Seeing the embarrassed expression on the Third Hokage's face, Jiraiya didn't ask any more questions.

He already knew the answer from the other person's expression, and further questioning would only hurt the feelings of both parties.

Compared to how Jiraiya cares about Naruto, Orochimaru cares about Sasuke more.

After all, during the Chunin Exams, he planted a Heavenly Curse Seal on Sasuke, wanting to use his body as a vessel for his next reincarnation.

Now, looking at what was said on the light screen, not only did he fail, but Sasuke's status in Konoha Village was higher than his.

This is very interesting.

Just a small Uchiha orphan, but his final status was higher than his? 

Orochimaru was very interested in exploring the truth contained in it.

He decided that after the merger of Otogakure and Konoha, when he could openly appear in the village, he would take Sasuke in as his disciple and keep him by his side.

Orochimaru, who had been shown a clear way by Hayashi Sora, was no longer interested in Sasuke's body.

He wants to witness the other person's growth step by step to see how he can surpass himself.

[Okay, that's it for this episode's extra video.]

[Don't think this video is boring.]

[Actually, yes, it is really watery.]

[But I have no other choice. I don't understand advanced technology like cloning.]

[Instead of wasting time by talking nonsense, it is better to answer Mr. Tobirama's questions and then leave.]

[That's it for this issue.]

[I am the new Content Creator Hayashi Sora.]

[See you in the next issue!]
