Chapter 279
"Human puppet? It seems that I am not the only one who is trying to escape death." After listening to Tsunade's report, Orochimaru also sighed a little.
By turning a human body into a puppet, one naturally does not need to be afraid of being hurt. Even if a limb is damaged, it can be restored to its original state by replacing parts.
As long as the Scorpion can maintain its consciousness, the lifespan brought about by the shackles and limitations of the body will not be able to restrict it.
But can the other party really guarantee that his consciousness will last forever?
Orochimaru might have thought it was possible before, but now that his understanding of the soul has deepened, Orochimaru is a little uncertain.
At least his previous method of changing bodies by transferring souls had great side effects. Every reincarnation would put a burden on his soul, making it missing and incomplete.
In Lu Nie's words, once he dies, he will not need to go through the transformation of Hueco Mundo and will be a natural Hollow.
"You guys are all pursuing some nonsense." Tsunade sighed, feeling helpless towards people like Orochimaru, Kaname and Sasori.
"Aren't you also pursuing transcendence of life and death, Tsunade?" Orochimaru glanced at the sighing Tsunade, crossed his hands under his chin, and replied with a smile: "You are luckier than me, because what I once pursued so hard, you have already achieved it without deliberately pursuing it.
Your current life span, even if calculated from now on, can be at least several hundred years, right? This is assuming you are not pursuing immortality. You are already a non-human, Tsunade!"
Tsunade did not refute Orochimaru's words. As a medical ninja, she knew her body better. So she knew very well that Orochimaru was telling the truth.
Her body had indeed surpassed the limits of lifespan; at least birth, aging, sickness and death, as they usually were, had already left her.
The previous battle with Scorpion made her deeply experience the changes in her body. The changes that had transformed her body could be easily felt during the battle.
Just like Scorpion's poison, for all ninjas who don't have an antidote, once it invades their bodies, they can almost only wait for death and become Scorpion's defeated opponents.
But Tsunade can produce corresponding antibodies in a very short time using only her own body cells, thus ignoring the damage caused by toxins.
Unfortunately, as an opponent, Scorpion could not let her use her full strength. She did not even use half of her strength, for fear of killing Scorpion with one punch.
From this point of view, she is indeed separated from ordinary ninjas. In other words, they have completely evolved into another life form.
"If everything else is fine, I'm going to prepare for the next resurrection experiment." Tsunade said, turned around, opened the door and left.
Now her only obsession is to revive the person she cares about. As for the troubles caused by this, she is too lazy to care about it. That is a problem that Orochimaru and Lu Ni should consider.
Of course, Tsunade occasionally thinks that if her second grandfather could really be resurrected, then perhaps he would have a lot in common with Orochimaru and Kaname.
But with his second grandfather's temperament, this "common language" might not necessarily be a harmonious one. "Human puppet technology?" Watching Tsunade disappear in his office, Orochimaru muttered softly, shook his head, and buried his head in the documents on the table again.
He was just a shadow clone used to handle village affairs. Technical issues were something that the original body should worry about. Now through the soul connection, under his conscious transmission, the original body should have received the relevant information.
Technology Development Department.
Orochimaru was preparing some kind of medicine in his own laboratory when he suddenly became dazed and found that he had some more memories in his mind.
Soul shadow clone.
This is a technique created by Orochimaru based on his own Hogyoku power by transforming his shadow clone.
Shadow clones are made by evenly dividing one's own chakra to create lifelike clones that can deceive the Sharingan and even the Byakugan.
But the soul shadow clone is not used for fighting, or in other words, it is not a technique that can only be used for fighting. Its distribution mode is not simple chakra, but soul fragments.
It can distribute its own power according to Orochimaru's wishes, and decide who is the clone and who is the original body based on the amount of soul distributed.
Orochimaru currently does not have many soul shadow clones. One is specifically used to handle official duties and does not require combat, so the power allocated is not much, which is probably the power of an ordinary jonin.
There is another one used to read various documents, and to develop and research techniques with Kane and the technicians trained and recruited in the technical development department. His strength is maintained at the highest level. Of course, this level, for Orochimaru, can be regarded as the complete form of his current strength.
Finally, there is the main body that he is currently using to conduct his own research. With the soul strength of Orochimaru's current main body, it is not impossible to split into more soul shadow clones, but there is no need to do so.
Because their souls were separated among the three of them, under Orochimaru's technique, they had a soul network that allowed them to upload and share important matters directly in their minds according to their wishes.
Just like the clone in the office, if there is any important information that it believes should be known to the main body, it will choose to pass that information to the main body separately through the soul network.
This mode can ensure that Orochimaru does not need to accept and digest the impact of too many complicated memories, and can concentrate on his own research.
In addition, unlike the shadow clone, the soul shadow clone can exist for a long time and be regarded as an independent individual. They will not disappear suddenly like the shadow clone due to injury, but when they die, the dispersed soul will return to Orochimaru's body.
One is used to handle official business, one is used for research, and the other represents strength. As long as the three are not eliminated at the same time, the death of one of them will only return to the main body, waiting to be resurrected.
Like the multiple shadow clones, the soul shadow clone created by Orochimaru is also a forbidden technique and is more difficult to master.
After all, multiple shadow clones can be used as long as one has a strong will and huge chakra, but Orochimaru's soul shadow clone involves cutting off one's own soul. If one is not careful, it may bring irreparable serious consequences.
