"The Fourth Hokage's body is also real?"
Here, Orochimaru also took out part of Namikaze Minato's corpse and placed it next to Kushina's corpse.
Minato's side also emitted a faint glow.
Orochimaru stood up and nodded, "It is indeed Minato's."
Rengoku asked curiously, "They have no blood relation, how could there be resonance?"
Orochimaru explained, "It's not only blood relations that can create resonance."
"They were husband and wife. Any exchange of bodily fluids will leave a record in the body."
Rengoku's brows raised slightly, "So that's how it is. Then what about Kasui's (Karin's mother) ability?"
Speaking of this, Orochimaru also became interested, his eyes flashing with excitement.
He stuck out his tongue and washed his face with it, "Kasui's healing ability is actually a kind of cellular erosion."
"Her own cells' healing power forcibly overwrites and fuses into the one being healed."
"If the same person is healed multiple times, a large number of their cells will be replaced."
Rengoku thought aloud, "Cell-level invasion, huh…"
In his heart, he vaguely formed a plan, but this plan still lacked one key tool.
Rengoku first pressed the thought to the bottom of his heart and reminded Orochimaru, "Kasui's body has only just recovered a little. When you ask her to do experiments, be careful."
Orochimaru waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me that. She's my precious test subject."
"Her daughter Karin should have the same ability, right?"
Rengoku chuckled, "Nothing escapes you, does it."
Orochimaru looked at Rengoku with a strange gaze, "I was originally planning to go to Kusagakure and Kirigakure."
"Aiya, you found me out," Rengoku shrugged, making a helpless gesture.
"That's right, several of the children I brought back should have been brought out by you."
Orochimaru also nodded in thought, "So that's how it is."
Rengoku placed a hand on Orochimaru's shoulder, "Aiya, we're all family anyway. What difference does it make whether I bring them back or you bring them back?"
After mingling with Rengoku, Orochimaru's perspective was already different.
"These children are all your materials, right?", Orochimaru asked with meaning.
Rengoku was a little surprised, but then shook his head, "They're all well-bred seedlings."
"Raising them to adulthood yields much greater returns."
At this moment, Rengoku's expression shifted, the ring on his hand began to pulse.
"I have something to take care of."
Orochimaru nodded and continued modifying the forbidden technique of Edo Tensei.
———
Rengoku found a room to sit down in, placing his hand on his forehead.
His thought waves, amplified by the Magic Lantern Body Technique, spread outward directly.
The next moment, he had connected to Nagato's side.
His figure appeared inside a dim cave, along with Pain and Konan.
"I was just about to find you," Rengoku said.
"Oh? You were also going to find us? What is it?", Pain asked curiously.
"My clone clashed with Obito again. This time I exposed his identity…", Rengoku told Pain the whole chain of events from the Land of Demons.
"Now he already knows the Madara identity can't be maintained. He'll very likely try to probe you."
Pain nodded, "I already anticipated this."
Rengoku said, "I have an idea, hear me out."
Pain and Konan exchanged glances, "Go ahead."
Rengoku's face carried a cold smile, "I don't want to let Obito off so easily. Doesn't he want to complete the Moon's Eye Plan?"
"Then you help him complete the Moon's Eye Plan…", Rengoku finished explaining his plan to Pain and Konan, and both of their faces showed interest.
"This plan isn't bad, but my body?", In this plan, Nagato had to first recover his health.
Rengoku nodded, "I already have a way for your body, but I still need to find some key medicines."
"It might take some time, but the odds are good."
Pain and Konan were encouraged, "That's fine. In any case, Akatsuki also needs time to build up strength right now."
"What did you come to find me for?"
Konan spoke, "We've been away from Amegakure for a long time. Now Amegakure is a bit unstable."
"There's a group of children with decent talent who are hard to deal with."
Rengoku glanced at Konan, 'Talented?'
In his impression, the most talented one should be Ajisai, the future Animal Path of the Six Paths.
He wondered if that child was among them.
"No problem. The education system in Konoha is already under my control."
"Konan can just send the people over. You probably can't hide it from Zetsu's probing."
"But that's fine, let Obito know we're cooperating, so he'll be wary."
Konan was a kind-hearted person. Education on Rengoku's side was much better than in Amegakure, "Then thank you, Rengoku."
———
After ending the Magic Lantern Body Technique, Rengoku began studying his golden finger.
He had obtained a large amount of his clansmen's chakra and pupil power, and had summed up the experience.
If the chakra was of a different attribute from his, it would soon be assimilated.
The pupil power provided by the three-tomoe Sharingan would also be absorbed by his Mangekyo Sharingan.
But in the case of Itachi, who already had a Mangekyo Sharingan, the pupil power copied was neither absorbed nor transformed by Rengoku's Mangekyo.
Instead, it was stored in his eyes in a reserved state.
For Rengoku, this was naturally a good thing.
He could split off Itachi's pupil power at any time to create a Mangekyo-level Sharingan powerhouse.
He could even consider, on this basis, envisioning an Eternal Mangekyo.
Yes, although Rengoku had a younger sister, he had not placed all hope on Ryuri awakening a Mangekyo.
Currently, Ryuri wasn't even a ninja, let alone having opened her eyes.
To train Ryuri into a Mangekyo-level powerhouse would require an unmeasurable amount of time and effort.
The key issue was, he was her older brother. Even in the most desperate situation, he would not harm his sister to gain the key to advancement.
Becoming a Mangekyo Sharingan user was too painful.
Rengoku, holding his golden finger and with Orochimaru at his side, felt that failing to overcome this hurdle would be inexcusable.
When he had taken over as clan head, his bond with Fugaku had already risen to four stars.
But Rengoku had never activated Fugaku's reward, because he worried Fugaku's reward would copy his pupil power.
If Fugaku's and Itachi's pupil powers fused, it would not be a good thing for Rengoku.
Previously, because the pupil power was too great, Rengoku's eyes had always been in a swollen state.
Only after obtaining Orochimaru's soul power had he been able to control so much pupil power.
This meant that his body's capacity would also become a reserve for storing the golden finger.
However, as a member of the Uchiha clan, after holding so much chakra, he felt no discomfort.
It seemed the chakra had been converted into his own, so there was no burden.
