These procedures were the initial experimental plan he personally devised, but the problem was...
His eyes darted around, and he quickly spotted an unusual statistic.
The intercolumnar cell injection dosage recorded in the file was pitifully small, less than one-tenth of the dosage he used in his original experiment!
"Huh?" Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise.
He stopped and stared intently at the line of numbers, thinking he was seeing things.
However, after checking it several times, the result was always the same.
The number of intercolumnar cells injected into this experimental subject was so small as to be almost perfunctory!
[Ding! Orochimaru's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
A flash of anger crossed Orochimaru's eyes, and his face darkened.
Although he knew he was in a dream, his rigorous attitude toward scientific research made him unable to tolerate such "nonsense".
Anyone who dares to modify the experimental plan he set is committing a desecration of his research.
Chapter 207 Rope Tree: Master would never treat human life lightly!
Orochimaru frowned slightly, his golden snake eyes fixed on the data in the file, deep in thought.
Just then, the door to the ward creaked open.
A medical ninja wearing a mask and a white coat pushed a cart of medical equipment in.
Upon seeing the figure inside the room, he quickly bowed respectfully and greeted, "Lord Orochimaru! I've come to change your medicine!"
Orochimaru didn't even look up when he heard this; he simply nodded slightly in response.
As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and also responsible for the research on Hashirama cells personally ordered by the Third Hokage, his status in this secret base was extraordinary.
It was only natural that the medical ninja treated him with respect and caution.
After Orochimaru finished flipping through the file in his hand, he casually put the folder back on the bedside table.
He then walked to another bed, picked up a folder from the bedside table, and began to flip through it.
After browsing for a while, the doubt in his eyes grew even stronger.
The interstitial cell inoculation dose recorded in this file is even lower than the previous one.
Such a small dose...
Orochimaru's brow twitched slightly. Unconvinced, he reached out and grabbed the file folders from the next few beds, quickly flipping through them.
However, the vaccination data recorded in every file was exactly the same, all of them lower than he expected!
"How could this be?"
Orochimaru was secretly puzzled.
He was always meticulous in his approach to scientific research, and every parameter of every experimental plan was carefully considered before being determined. He never allowed any unauthorized alterations.
However, the dosage of this vaccine is clearly incorrect.
Who on earth dared to tamper with his experimental data without authorization?!
And it wasn't just in one or two places; all the data was lowered!
Anger surged from the depths of his heart.
Orochimaru slammed the file folder shut and strode toward the medical ninja who was bending down to change the IV drip.
With a gloomy face, he slammed the file folder onto the equipment cart in front of the other person.
The medical ninja was startled and looked up to meet Orochimaru's cold gaze.
"Who changed the vaccination numbers?!"
Orochimaru stared at the medical ninja, speaking each word with an icy tone.
His voice was already hoarse, and now that he was deliberately lowering it, it sounded even more dangerous.
"Don't they know that arbitrarily changing the dosage like this will lead to the complete failure of the experiment?"
Orochimaru is usually very reserved and doesn't show his emotions, but scientific research is his Achilles' heel.
"This... modification? Impossible!" The medical ninja was stunned by his barrage of questions and stood there, covered in cold sweat.
He hurriedly picked up the folder and quickly flipped through the records, afraid that he might have made a mistake somewhere.
A few seconds later, the medical ninja looked up, carefully smiling obsequiously as he explained, "Lord Orochimaru, you see... no one changed anything. These vaccination numbers... were personally determined by you! Who would dare to change your plan!"
"What?" Orochimaru's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and a look of astonishment flashed across his face.
"I ordered it?" He wondered if he had misheard.
How can it be!
How could he have devised such a ridiculous experimental dosage?!
[Ding! Orochimaru's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Just then, the door to the laboratory ward was pushed open from the outside again.
Orochimaru looked up at the sound and saw a man and a woman, both wearing white researcher's lab coats, walking in side by side.
Leading the way was a young, blonde, blue-eyed female ninja. Her chestnut eyes held a hint of discontent. Before she even stopped, she complained loudly, "Orochimaru! The experiment is progressing way too slowly! That old bastard Danzo is pressuring the old man to hurry it up again!"
Upon hearing this voice, Orochimaru was suddenly jolted, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Tsunade?!
Indeed, the newcomer was Tsunade, who was wearing a slightly oversized white lab coat over a casual ninja outfit for ease of movement.
She stood at the door with her arms crossed, her eyebrows furrowed, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the progress of the experiment.
Beside Tsunade stood a tall boy.
The boy looked to be in his early teens, with features somewhat resembling Tsunade's. His eyes shone with youthful vigor as he curiously surveyed the room.
He was also wearing a white lab coat, clearly indicating that he was also assisting with the experiment.
The boy's gaze quickly locked onto Orochimaru, and a bright smile spread across his face: "Sensei!"
He excitedly raised his hand to greet Orochimaru, his expression revealing undisguised admiration and closeness.
……
in the audience.
Today, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Kabuto Yakushi are in the audience.
The environment remained dim, with the rows of seats behind me stretching into the endless darkness.
Upon arriving, Kabuto silently walked to a corner and sat down alone.
His expression was obscured in the dim light, but a faint glimmer of light was visible reflected from his glasses.
Dou's gaze was fixed on the two figures appearing on the screen. He subtly pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses shifting unpredictably.
Meanwhile, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi sat together.
Tsunade stared intently at the screen.
The moment Tsunade in her dream, dressed in a white lab coat, appeared on the screen alongside Nawaki, tears welled up in her eyes.
Even through the screen, Tsunade could see it clearly—
The rope tree in the dream had grown much taller than when I last saw it, its figure was even more upright, and its still-childish face exuded the same spiritedness as before it died in battle!
He's grown up...
"Nawaki... I really saw Nawaki again!" Tsunade said excitedly to Jiraiya beside her, her voice choked with emotion.
She had longed to see her brother again for a long time.
[Ding! Tsunade's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
In fact, Tsunade had a vague sense of anticipation as soon as Orochimaru's figure appeared on the screen.
The last time, she saw Nawaki again after many years in Orochimaru's dream.
And now that her younger brother has indeed appeared as she wished, how could she not be moved to tears?
Tsunade forcefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze fixed on the spirited young man on the screen.
I was afraid that this precious moment would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Jiraiya, who was standing nearby, saw this and gently comforted him, "Alright, alright, I see... Nawaki has grown quite a bit taller."
Jiraiya smiled, happy for Tsunade.
However, his eyes flickered, and he was already planning something else.
He realized this was a good opportunity!
Jiraiya stared at Orochimaru, who still looked bewildered on the screen, and said in a deep voice, "Tsunade, you can still see Nawaki because of Orochimaru's dream, but if he dies... you may never see Nawaki in your dreams again!"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's previously excited expression suddenly froze, and her brows furrowed tightly.
She turned her head to look at Jiraiya's serious expression, and she immediately understood his intention.
This guy is trying to take this opportunity to convince himself to send someone to rescue Orochimaru!
“Jiraiya, you…” Tsunade looked at him with complicated eyes and remained silent for a moment.
Of course she wanted to see Nawaki again, but to make Jiraiya and even the ninjas of Konoha risk their lives to rescue that rogue ninja who was trying to destroy Konoha?
Although Tsunade misses Nawaki, she is not such a clueless person.
This is ridiculous!
The rope tree is long gone... long gone from this world. What I see in my dream now is nothing but a beautiful illusion.
How could she gamble with her companion's life for this illusory hope?
After a brief silence, Tsunade closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly calmed her surging emotions.
She slowly shook her head, regaining the composure and resolve befitting the Hokage: "No. I disagree!"
Tsunade said it with absolute certainty, as if it were a final judgment, leaving no room for discussion.
