A moment later, in the Uchiha Clan Estate's training ground, Uchiha Jinsuke was still showing off his Wood Release ninjutsu with great interest, but the test was over.
Fugaku frowned slightly, wondering, "Is the power a bit weak?"
If the First Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the world, summoning giant robots with a clap of his hands, then Uchiha Jinsuke's Wood Release could only grow seedlings and do some landscaping.
It was even worse than Yamato's Wood Release, at least he could build a new house from scratch.
"Are you misunderstanding something?"
Orochimaru glanced at Fugaku and said slowly, "The Wood Release bloodline is just a side effect of this physique enhancement surgery. A bonus, what do you expect it to do?"
That made sense, and Fugaku nodded in agreement, but he still felt a bit disappointed in his heart.
Wood Release was, after all, the First Hokage's bloodline limit, and now it was a symbol of Konoha Village.
Not to mention that the Uchiha clan had been intertwined with the Senju clan for thousands of years, if a Wood Release expert could appear in the clan, the spiritual satisfaction would be hard to describe.
"Don't be impatient, this is just a cut-down, immature surgery."
Orochimaru licked his lips, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, "There will be more complete physique enhancement surgeries in the future."
"That's really something to look forward to."
Fugaku also smiled, the disappointment on his face gone.
So, three days later, the second Uchiha Jonin underwent 'physique enhancement surgery', and the surgery failed.
If Orochimaru hadn't made a quick decision to remove parts of the flesh, including the large intestine, liver, and lower abdomen, the entire internal organs would probably have turned to wood, costing him his life.
First floor of the medical room.
Uchiha Fugaku gripped his teacup tightly, his face looking somewhat unsightly, "Orochimaru-sama, can his body still recover?"
"After the intestinal tract is removed, it cannot grow back on its own, and he may have difficulty with bowel movements in the future, but the rest can be recovered through recuperation.
Compared to losing his life, these are just small problems."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and smiled, "I said from the beginning that there was a risk of failure with the surgery, so, clan leader Fugaku, do you want to continue?
Or, after learning about this surgery failure, will your clansmen still want to undergo the surgery?"
"This..."
Fugaku hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Do it, of course we'll do it."
In fact, none of the remaining three Uchiha Jonin chose to quit, and Fugaku hesitated because he was the Uchiha clan leader.
Orochimaru smiled, "That's good."
A few days later, the third physique enhancement surgery was successful, and the Uchiha Jonin walked out of the underground operating room on his own two feet.
It's just that compared to Uchiha Jinsuke, this Jonin could not successfully use Wood Release.
The reason was also very simple, in order to ensure the success rate and collect experimental data, Orochimaru downgraded the already cut-down surgery even further, focusing on observing the strength of the Sharingan's eye power, and its resistance to the First Hokage's cells' chakra.
The targeted experiments allowed Orochimaru to gain a lot.
Fugaku didn't know the inside story, because he was relieved by the successful surgery again, and wanted to book the next surgery, but was refused.
'The experimental data is temporarily sufficient, the surgical process can be improved, which can increase the success rate later', Orochimaru gave this reason, arranged other matters, and then left the Uchiha Clan Estate...
After Fugaku learned about this, he had no choice but to suppress his desire to continue.
With two more Jonin whose strength had greatly increased and who possessed great potential, the Uchiha clan had eaten about 70% full, which was considered acceptable.
Hokage Building, conference room.
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind his desk, smoking his pipe expressionlessly, with a Hokage advisor on each side, their faces very gloomy.
Just now, under the questioning of the two Hokage advisors, Shisui reported Orochimaru and several Uchiha Jonin's recent activities.
After all, there was one failure in the three surgeries, which could not be hidden from those who were interested in investigating.
Shisui thought that even without him, it would only be a matter of time before the Third Hokage and the others found out about the 'physique enhancement surgery', and if he gave advice, perhaps the situation would be better.
"Hiruzen, you've heard it too, Orochimaru is actually openly conducting human experiments."
Utatane Koharu slammed the table, her expression stern, "This can't be tolerated anymore, have you thought about what will happen if that Uchiha Jonin dies in the experiment?"
Mitokado Homura also looked at the Third Hokage, waiting for his answer.
Shisui, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head at this moment, insisting, "Elder, it's not a human experiment, it's a physique enhancement surgery."
Even though his political mind was average, Shisui understood what kind of taboo it was to conduct human experiments on people from the same village.
Moreover, the reason why the clansmen accepted the physique enhancement surgery was because they cared for him, and he absolutely could not allow the Hokage advisors to distort it at will.
"Shisui makes some sense."
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly opened his mouth, "It may not be a human experiment, I heard that the two Uchiha Jonin who succeeded in the surgery have made considerable progress in their strength."
"Hiruzen, even at this time, you're still protecting your student."
Utatane Koharu frowned, her anger flaring, defining the Third Hokage's defense as favoritism, "What physique enhancement surgery, it's clearly the First Hokage's cell transplantation surgery, do you think we don't know?
Danzo told us about that Wood Release boy."
That bad seed!
Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed on his pipe, opened his mouth and exhaled a few puffs of smoke, without replying.
The two Hokage advisors didn't want to let him go, Mitokado Homura put on a stern face, and also opened his mouth to force him, "It's one thing to hide the Wood Release boy's matter, but we all know how dangerous the First Hokage's cells are, we can't let Orochimaru act recklessly, especially giving this power to..."
Speaking to this point, Mitokado Homura paused, realizing that he was a bit out of line, and shouldn't say such things in front of Shisui.
Utatane Koharu didn't have this concern, "Homura is right, I propose to immediately prohibit Orochimaru's human experiments, and let him destroy all experimental data."
Mitokado Homura nodded, "Seconded!"
"What you said makes a lot of sense."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand, glanced at the two of them, his expression serious, "But don't forget, the negotiation with Kumogakure hasn't been completed yet, do you want to force Orochimaru at this time?"
"This..."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other, each seeing the hesitation in the other's eyes.
"Hiruzen is right."
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the Hokage's office door, and soon, Danzo walked in, leaning on his cane,
"Direct coercion is definitely not possible, and even if Orochimaru says he has destroyed the experimental data and will no longer perform the surgery, would you believe it?"
The Third Hokage did not answer, but glared at him, "Danzo, why are you here?"
"Hiruzen, is it possible that I don't have the qualifications for the village's high-level meeting?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not advisable to let Orochimaru destroy the experimental data, he should be made to hand it over."
