In the deepest room of Orochimaru's laboratory, there were ten large cylindrical petri dishes!
Nine of them were distributed in a ring along the walls of the laboratory and filled with green culture liquid.
The tenth petri dish was placed alone at the other end of the room and was twice as large as the previous nine!
Ever since the teak person entered the room, her gaze never left the pillars. She couldn't believe what she was seeing!
Nine little life forms were quietly sleeping in a patch of emerald green that symbolized life!
She walked towards the second petri dish and pressed her hands and face against the glass. She stared at the cat-like creature that was surrounded by blue flames without blinking. "What, what … is this?"
"This is the 'Pillar of Creation', my most precious experimental facility ~"
Orochimaru said as he took out a tube of medicine from the freezer and gently pushed it out of the syringe to expel the air.
"No." The teak person said anxiously, "I'm asking … what's inside!"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Mini Second Last."
"Mini … Second Last!? Then, these? " The teak person looked at the surrounding pillars in surprise. The shape and number of tails of each creature were different!
From "raccoon" to "fox", the number of tails increased from one to nine!
Orochimaru said, "Yes, these are … mini tailed beasts that I created!"
The teak person was stunned for a long time. After recovering from the shock, she asked, "What's the difference between them and a real tailed beast?"
Orochimaru said, "In essence, there is no difference, but to be more serious, the amount of Chakra is also at the 'mini level', but with the growth of the years, it will also increase."
"So impressive …" The teak person's heart pounded rapidly. Looking at the small lives, her maiden heart was about to melt. "So cute …"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "If you like, I'll choose one for you …"
The teak person was surprised. "Is this really possible?"
Orochimaru nodded and said, "Yes, the real tailed beast in your body is supposed to be replaced with a mini version …"
Orochimaru was very open-minded. Instead of thinking about how to survive after extraction, he might as well try to find a replacement.
Thus, the mini tailed beasts were born!
Yugito Nihito pointed at the mini Nihito in front of her and said, "Kitten …"
Orochimaru asked curiously, "Oh? Are you still going to choose it? Its original form should have brought you many bad memories, right? "
The wooden puppet pressed her palm against her abdomen where Second Last's seal was.
She said with melancholy, "Actually … I quite like cats. It's just that the cat in my body is always out of control … It's easy for me to do things that hurt my companions."
"So that's how it is, you are really a kind girl …" Orochimaru smiled and said, "Go to the chair over there and lie down."
"Oh!" The teak man complied.
After a while, Orochimaru took the syringe and came to the side of the teak man, "Next, I'm going to give you general anesthesia …"
"Hmm …" Yugito Ren gripped the armrests of the chair with both hands, inevitably feeling a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid … When you wake up, it will be over," Orochimaru said softly while gently pushing the plunger.
As the medicine was injected, the teak man's eyes gradually closed. At last, she said to Second Last, who was residing in her body, "I'm sorry, we're going to be separated. For so many years, I've been treating you as a nightmare, but I can't bear to part with you now. If I were to start all over again, I want to get along well with you …"
"…" In the teak man's mind, Second Last, Matatabi, looked down with a complicated expression.
Drip!
Until … Orochimaru's figure appeared!
Second Last looked up at him and said coldly, "Human, I can't believe you actually managed to enter this place …"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"How did you do that?"
"Are you referring to the mini tailed beasts?"
"Ah … they're obviously imposters, but they have the exact same aura as us tailed beasts! I know that you humans have cloning technology, but the life structure of us tailed beasts is different from that of ordinary life forms. So, cloning technology is useless to us! "
Orochimaru said in bewilderment, "How rare of you to know about cloning technology …"
"Don't underestimate us tailed beasts! We've lived for thousands of years and we've seen all kinds of things. We can't be bothered to communicate with you because of your greed. Cut the crap and answer my question! "
Orochimaru said, "That's not cloning technology, but 'life creation technology'!"
"Life creation!?!"
Orochimaru said, "Life creation technology! Of course … it's different from the Yin-Yang escape technique that Sennin Six Paths used to create you guys. My life creation technology is completely based on the analysis of the structure of life. "
Second Last looked at Orochimaru and said, "You mean … you've mastered our life structure!?"
Orochimaru said, "Yes, by analyzing the blood of the Hachibi, I obtained and deduced the blueprints of the life structure of all tailed beasts. However, the process of analysis and deduction alone took me several years!"
"Even if you know the life structure of the tailed beasts, how did you create them?"
Orochimaru said, "The existence of life is like a building. Knowing the blueprints, collecting enough raw materials, investing manpower and time, theoretically, it's possible to build the same building …"
"The problem is the collection of raw materials. The raw materials that make up life … the body, energy, and soul, none of them can be missing!"
"I used the cells of the first Hokage for the body, and also the 'Pillar of Creation' developed by Eno Amami. It's a very great invention. As long as you input the blueprints, you can create the same body!"
"As for energy, I borrowed the power of the 'Yin Dragon Vein'. The power of the Dragon Vein also originated from the divine tree in the Kaguya era. It's the same as the Chakra of your tailed beasts."
"As for the soul, the current technology can't extract it. Fortunately, the soul ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage can extract the pure soul power and transfer it …"
Second Last looked at her other self that was sleeping quietly in Orochimaru's hand. "Pure … In other words, its soul is like a blank piece of paper?"
Orochimaru said, "Yes, but I developed a technique that can project your consciousness onto a blank soul without harming the integrity of your soul. That way, the consciousness of this mini Second Last will be inclined towards you … It's equivalent to another form of you."
"However, in order to activate this projection technique, the subject has to cooperate subjectively. So, what do you think?"
Second Last said with complicated emotions, "This guy (the teak person) is obviously very clumsy, but she's always thinking about others. No matter how many times I tried to make her hate me by going berserk, no matter how many times she got hurt because of it, her heart never wavered. Looking at her, I feel that humans may not be completely hopeless. I want to try believing in her again …"
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Seems like … you've already decided!"
