Chapter 215: Chapter 215: About to Meet That Person
"Using the chakra of a tailed beast to treat the Kekkei Genkai disease!"
Sound Ninja Village, underground base.
Tsunade looked at Kimimaro, who was lying on the operating table.
Although he was in a coma, Kimimaro's breathing remained very steady.
At the same time, all his vital signs were completely normal. However, for some reason, he could not wake up.
What surprised Tsunade wasn't this, but Sasuke's astonishing idea.
He actually thought of using the chakra of a tailed beast to treat the Kekkei Genkai disease, and it seemed to have been half successful.
To be precise, it should have been completely successful, if not for a special situation that occurred during the sealing process, which caused Kimimaro's body to become extremely weak.
For someone in such a weakened state, suddenly consuming a strong restorative could have the opposite effect.
Just like in Kimimaro's case, where the chakra of the tailed beast should have been a life-saving remedy for him.
But because his body was too frail, the remedy became lethal.
Kabuto, who was assisting nearby, nodded slightly.
"Over the past few days, I've conducted a comprehensive examination and couldn't find any reason for his coma!"
"But Lady Tsunade, the data I've collected should all be accurate, so please take a look!"
As he spoke, Kabuto handed over a large pile of data.
Tsunade merely glanced through it briefly and roughly understood how she should proceed.
Although the data appeared normal, what is considered normal for one person might not be the same for another.
What's normal for an ordinary person might be abnormal for a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai.
"Having inherited the Kaguya clan's bloodline, his physique should have been stronger than that of an ordinary person!"
"Whether in terms of strength or other aspects, he should be superior."
"But now, these data points are the same as an ordinary person's. Do you think this is normal?"
Hearing this, Kabuto froze.
He hadn't considered this at all or perhaps, due to habitual thinking, this question never crossed his mind.
After all, even when treating ninjas in the past, their basic physical data often matched that of ordinary people.
The difference lies in the chakra.
"I need to perform a few tests specifically targeting the Kekkei Genkai!"
"If you're also a medical ninja, then assist me. How much you learn depends on you."
Although Kabuto was one of Orochimaru's people, Tsunade didn't mind anyone learning her medical techniques.
In fact, she believed the more people who learned them, the better.
As Tsunade began treating Kimimaro, Sasuke was in a specially designed training ground created by Orochimaru, practicing Wood Release.
"After you destroyed the previous training ground, Sasuke-kun, I immediately had this larger and more durable one built," said Orochimaru from a distance. "I think it should suffice for a while!"
Sasuke, practicing Wood Release, nodded in satisfaction. "It's good enough for now."
Watching Sasuke's Wood Release, Orochimaru's eyes gleamed.
"I never imagined Sasuke-kun could even develop Wood Release on his own. In the future, Sasuke-kun's descendants might possess both the Sharingan and Wood Release two terrifying Kekkei Genkai."
Descendants?
"After the First Hokage, no one has inherited Wood Release, have they?"
This question left Orochimaru momentarily speechless.
Bloodline inheritance is subject to probabilities; it could only be said that the First Hokage's descendants lacked exceptional talent.
None of them inherited the First Hokage's Kekkei Genkai.
What a pity!
But if more children were born, surely one would inherit the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
It's just a matter of probability. If it's a probability issue, increasing the number of attempts would naturally yield results.
"You've been practicing the nature transformation of water and earth attributes to attempt developing Wood Release, haven't you, Sasuke-kun?"
Hearing this, Sasuke hesitated on how to answer.
Not really. Though he possessed the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai because of the system, learning water and earth nature transformations was indeed to unlock it through the system.
"Sort of," Sasuke replied after some thought.
However, Orochimaru took this as confirmation.
Sasuke's talent made Orochimaru feel it was almost unreal.
To think he succeeded so easily…
Orochimaru himself had studied Wood Release for an unthinkable amount of time without successfully understanding it through Hashirama's cells.
And Sasuke had… indeed, geniuses cannot be measured by common standards.
"The Akatsuki approached me."
Suddenly, Sasuke's abrupt statement snapped Orochimaru out of his thoughts.
He looked at Sasuke.
"That doesn't surprise me, though I'm amazed they approached you so early!"
Sasuke glanced at Orochimaru, then returned to practicing the Wood Dragon Jutsu while saying, "They invited me to join the Akatsuki."
"And did you agree, Sasuke-kun?"
"I agreed."
This answer surprised Orochimaru. He had expected Sasuke to refuse without hesitation and for a battle to ensue.
Since Sasuke was here, it was evident nothing had gone wrong.
So, the result must have been that Sasuke defeated the Akatsuki members.
Yet Sasuke actually agreed…
Wait!
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at Sasuke.
Sasuke-kun must have joined the Akatsuki to meet Itachi Uchiha, right?
If that's the case, things just got even more interesting.
The once-brothers now, if both were in the Akatsuki, what kind of scene would unfold when they met?
Orochimaru couldn't help but feel excited imagining their encounter.
"What's your opinion of the Akatsuki, Sasuke-kun?"
"Not much. I joined because I had no other choice."
"I see."
Sasuke frowned. See? You don't even know I have the system what exactly do you understand?
"Are you prepared to meet that man, Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru asked suddenly.
This question left Sasuke stunned.
Indeed!
He hadn't thought of that yet.
If he joined the Akatsuki, Itachi, who was still a member, would inevitably cross paths with him.
Facing Itachi, Sasuke wasn't sure what kind of reaction he would have.
If Itachi knew Sasuke had agreed to join the Akatsuki, would he try to stop him or… let things unfold naturally?
