Meanwhile.
Grey Wolf finally finished making the Bio-Time Accelerator.
He attached the Bio-Time Accelerator to the cloning machine.
The embryo of Orochimaru's clone inside the cloning machine began to grow slowly. Seeing this, Grey Wolf nodded in satisfaction, then covered the cloning machine with a black cloth.
However, Grey Wolf didn't notice that a small screw on the Bio-Time Accelerator hadn't been tightened.
Seven days later.
Orochimaru arrived at Naruto's house as promised.
"Hehehehe… Naruto, you should be ready by now, right?"
"Absolutely! You can rest assured when I handle things!"
As he spoke, Naruto directly pulled back the black cloth covering the two cloning machines.
When Orochimaru saw Minato Namikaze in one of the cloning machines, he was utterly shocked.
Although he had been mentally prepared, since Naruto had told him about cloning a long time ago, seeing the finished product still made him feel incredible.
"This is truly an amazing technique!"
With that, Orochimaru looked at the other cloning machine.
When he saw the person inside that cloning machine, Orochimaru's eyelid twitched.
Seeing Orochimaru's expression was off, Naruto also followed his gaze to the cloning machine.
When he saw Orochimaru inside the cloning machine, Naruto was also stunned.
Because the Orochimaru in the cloning machine looked somewhat young, probably only around eleven or twelve years old.
"What the heck? What's going on?"
Naruto looked at the youthful face of Orochimaru in the cloning machine with a bewildered expression.
Seeing this, Naruto immediately used a Shadow Clone to call Grey Wolf out.
"Grey Wolf, it seems your invention had an accident!"
Grey Wolf naturally also saw the younger version of Orochimaru in the cloning machine.
"There shouldn't be any problem with my invention!"
As he spoke, Grey Wolf took down the Bio-Time Accelerator attached to the cloning machine.
After taking down the accelerator, Grey Wolf realized what had happened: it turned out that a small screw had been left out during installation, causing the accelerator's casing to open midway, thus stopping its operation!
Orochimaru, who had been silent, watched Naruto's interaction with his clone and thought to himself, "It seems the intelligence was indeed correct; this kid Naruto's schizophrenia is quite severe!"
"Didn't Minato try to find a way to treat him?"
Just as Orochimaru was pondering what methods he could use to treat schizophrenia, Naruto awkwardly approached him.
"Um… Mr. Orochimaru, as you can see, your clone had a bit of an accident…"
Before Naruto could finish, Orochimaru raised a hand and said, "It's fine; I can accept an eleven or twelve-year-old body."
"However, there's one prerequisite: the clone must maintain my current Kage-level Chakra! Can you do that?"
Naruto heard this and turned to look at Grey Wolf.
Grey Wolf nodded and said, "No problem. Let alone ten years old, even at one or two years old, this body will have Kage-level Chakra!"
Grey Wolf's words made Orochimaru reveal a mischievous smile, "In that case, next time I'd like to customize a six-year-old body."
Seeing Orochimaru's ill-intentioned smile, Naruto felt a chill.
"I say… Mr. Orochimaru, you're not thinking of using a child's advantage to enter the women's bathhouse, are you?"
"Oh, wait, six years old might not be convenient for entering the women's bathhouse… How about you switch to a three-year-old?"
Orochimaru:
"Do you think I'm that idiot Jiraiya?"
Orochimaru grumbled with great displeasure.
Since Orochimaru had agreed that this ten-year-old body was fine, the resurrection ceremony for Minato Namikaze could naturally begin.
Naruto and Grey Wolf took Minato's clone and Orochimaru's clone out of the cloning machines.
Although they were clones, due to Grey Wolf's operation, these two bodies were completely vegetative, without any consciousness.
Orochimaru did not focus his attention on his upcoming body but instead looked at Minato Namikaze's body.
He felt the surging Chakra and life energy within Minato Namikaze's body, licked his face with his tongue, and asked excitedly, "Naruto, you injected First Hokage's Wood Release Cells into Minato Namikaze, didn't you?"
Naruto heard this and nodded, "Yes…"
After confirming this from Naruto, Orochimaru stepped forward and began to caress Minato Namikaze's body.
"There isn't even a single abnormality; truly a perfect experimental subject…"
Orochimaru thought of the arm he made for Danzo; that arm had successfully fused Hashirama Cells, but its color had turned ghastly pale, and there was a human face on the arm, which was very eerie.
However, this clone of Minato Namikaze had a normal body color, and there were no human faces on his body due to the fusion of Hashirama Cells, indicating that the Hashirama Cells had perfectly fused with Minato Namikaze's own cells.
Naruto shivered as he saw Orochimaru looking at his father with the same gaze he would use for a beautiful woman, then slapped his hand away.
"Hey! My dad is a married man!"
Orochimaru heard this and smiled apologetically, saying, "My apologies, I lost my composure."
"Naruto, what do you need me to do for you to make me such a body?"
At this moment, Orochimaru was truly envious, envious of Minato Namikaze's body.
In fact, he had just had the thought of directly snatching this body, but his reason told him he absolutely could not do that.
Because what was truly important was not the clone that perfectly fused Hashirama Cells, but the technique itself!
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Naruto considered for a moment and said, "At least… earn enough of my trust!"
"No need at all!" Just then, Grey Wolf spoke up, "If he wants one, I can get him such a body. At worst, I'll just tamper with the genes a bit during the fusion process."
Naruto: …
Orochimaru: …
"I say… Grey Wolf, you should have said something like that in private! Why say it out loud in front of him? It's so inappropriate!"
Orochimaru was also a bit speechless. If he really gained Naruto's trust, would he still want that body or not?
Hearing Naruto's complaint, Grey Wolf shrugged and said, "You humans are so troublesome!"
"Hmm? 'You humans'… it seems Naruto still has a beastly personality within him," Orochimaru mused to himself.
