Considering that this was a chance to establish mutual trust between the two of you...
It seed... losing one body engraved with the Curse Mark wasn't such a big deal after all.
Though individuals possessing a Kekkei Genkai of this caliber were rare and hard to find, with your Kage-level strength, if you really put in the effort, you'd be able to secure another one eventually.
And besides, you'd already promised Orochimaru that if this experint failed, you'd compensate him with a test subject carrying the Scorch Release bloodline. So, Orochimaru agreed to your plan without resistance.
...
Right now, you didn't want to reveal your Uchiha lineage just yet.
So, in the secret chamber, only you and Kimimaro remained. You cast a Genjutsu to put him into a deep sleep.
With your level of Ocular Power, using a Genjutsu of this caliber without even activating your eyes was child's play.
Once Kimimaro had fallen completely asleep, you activated your Mangekyō Sharingan.
You began the process of extracting the bloodline from his body. During this delicate operation, to ensure Kimimaro's survival and to repair the flaws in his genetic structure, you consud a significant amount of bloodline essence.
Only then were you able to extract the Shikotsumyaku intact—a drop of crimson blood shimring with a faint milky-white glow.
After safely storing it, you retrieved another sample—the modified Kaguya bloodline that had been supplented with Uzumaki genetics—and infused it into Kimimaro's body.
Because the Uzumaki bloodline served only a supportive role, it wouldn't manifest any outward changes. Instead, it would enhance his Yang Release and stimulate bone growth. More importantly, this new genetic makeup would eliminate the risk of his genetic disease ever reerging.
Within a single day, the bloodline transplant was successfully completed.
Together with Orochimaru, you watched Kimimaro—now able to use the Shikotsumyaku once more. Although a bit unpracticed, the bones he generated were clearly denser and harder than before. He no longer showed signs of exhaustion after just a short training session.
In ti, once Kimimaro fully developed his new bloodline...
Orochimaru would finally gain a dreamlike experience: a full-bodied trial run of a Kekkei Genkai ninja!
...
After returning, you wasted no ti preparing for the fusion of the Shikotsumyaku.
First, you headed to the underground base and refined another batch of bloodline essence.
While you were at it, you expanded the facility several tis over, using Ice Release to convert it into a massive freezer.
Your Ice Release was far stronger than Haku's. You could simply toss ninja corpses in and instantly freeze them without needing to seal each one individually. It saved you both manpower and resources.
Nowadays, thanks to the Mask Organization and the Mask you'd given to Gato, your influence spanned the entire shinobi world. Gato, in his guise as a commoner, had quietly beco the shadow emperor of the ninja world.
You no longer needed to rely on a small underground fight club for ninja corpses. However, in order to maintain your relationship with the Raikage, you still sent Zabuza regularly to keep up appearances.
As for Haku—he'd grown to the point where he could now take charge entirely on his own.
In fact, thanks to the perfect developnt of his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, Haku had beco even stronger than Zabuza—approaching Kage-level. So you assigned him to embed your organization deep within the Land of Water.
...
You'd now gathered enough bloodline essence.
Carefully, you extracted every flaw hidden within Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku and used your mory to cross-reference and rebuild the bloodline using complentary fragnts from the Kaguya bloodline.
You then used compatible segnts from the Uzumaki bloodline to repair the remaining gaps.
Finally, you refined the drop of Shikotsumyaku with a massive amount of bloodline essence—bringing it as close to perfection as possible.
It was ready for fusion.
You drank the remaining bloodline essence, along with the Shikotsumyaku itself, in one gulp.
A powerful storm of chakra exploded around you, surging with all your Nature Affinities and Kekkei Genkai.
A colossal vortex erupted outward with you at the center, spinning the entire Floating Island and even dragging up the ocean below—forming a tornado that pierced the heavens.
...
When you opened your eyes again...
You pulled back the surging power. The Shikotsumyaku had successfully fused into your body.
"'Bloodline Storm.' A simple and brutal move. I like it."
Inspired by the instinctive power you had just released, you created a new technique—an overwhelming ninjutsu that erupts your Kekkei Genkai in a storm centered around yourself. You beco the storm.
If you were to unleash this in your Susanoo form... you'd beco a walking natural disaster.
After fusing the Shikotsumyaku, your physical attributes skyrocketed.
If the Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines had enhanced your raw strength and healing abilities, then the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku had taken your skeletal structure to a whole new level—hard enough to cleave steel and shatter jade.
With all that refined bloodline essence layered on top, you were confident: even if you faced the Fourth Raikage in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, you could fight him head-on and co out evenly matched!
...
On top of that, you noticed your skin had grown noticeably paler.
You ruled out the constant mist in the Land of Waves, or your habit of always wearing a cloak.
Uchiha, Uzumaki, Shikotsumyaku—three bloodlines fused into one. So many elental Kekkei Genkai stacked together... you suspected you were starting to revert to an ancestral Ōtsutsuki form.
You reached up and touched your forehead.
Good. No horns... yet.
"All I need now is the bloodline of the Hyūga clan's main branch!"
To have co this far...
For Orochimaru, experiencing the body of a Kekkei Genkai ninja was a dream co true. But to you, it was only the most basic stepping stone on your path. Even the so-called 'ultimate immortality' would be nothing more than a bonus perk on the road to becoming a true Ōtsutsuki.
That's just how unreasonable the Uchiha are.
Once you gain the power to control your own fate, you no longer lant the trivial tragedy of the Uchiha Massacre. Instead, you begin to appreciate the gifts your bloodline has given you—and pursue the goals you truly desire.
Maybe it's ti to set a small goal.
Surpass Hashirama Senju—and beco the strongest in the shinobi world!
...
You looked down at the Floating Island beneath your feet. It had originally been designed with barrier techniques and Lava Release, for the sole purpose of testing large-scale ninjutsu.
But after multiple bloodline breakthroughs, even its once-sturdy structure now looked fragile to your eyes—like paper-thin walls waiting to be torn apart.
Ti for a full upgrade.
This ti, you used Shikotsumyaku to create white bone, Lava Release to forge molten rock, and Ice Release to encase everything in unlting eternal ice. These three ford the island's core frawork.
Then, combining Sealing Jutsu and Scorch Release, you enveloped the entire Floating Island in a blazing gale-force barrier. You even released the Three-Tails and used it as the island's primary chakra source—to maintain long-term stability.
The Floating Island had been completely reforged.
Now, calling it a retreat or a base no longer did it justice.
It had beco a war machine that integrated every Kekkei Genkai you possessed!
You summoned the Susanoo passed down from Uchiha Itachi. Compared to your Floating Island, even a fully developed second-stage Susanoo seed inferior in both durability and scale.
This level of structural integrity—unless it faced so ridiculous ability like Kekkei Tōta or Kekkei Mōra—it could even withstand a direct blow from Susanoo without crumbling!
...
With that task completed, your developnt of the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular abilities had reached a new height. You were now fully confident in executing future bloodline transplant surgeries.
And so, you pulled out the phone number Amado had given you...
