Uchiha Fugaku, as the Clan Chief of the Uchiha Clan, understood the situation of the Uchiha Clan quite clearly.
With Uchiha En's reputation in the clan constantly rising, Uchiha En was already threatening his position as Clan Chief.
To be precise, Uchiha En now had the ability to replace him.
Honestly, Uchiha Fugaku wasn't very attached to the position of Clan Chief. As long as Uchiha En could make the Uchiha Clan better, he would give the position to him.
But now, Uchiha Fugaku wasn't sure what Uchiha En really wanted. Would he lead the Uchiha Clan into even greater trouble, or even lead to the destruction of the Uchiha Clan?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku felt that he couldn't simply hand over the position of Clan Chief to Uchiha En. At the very least, he had to determine what Uchiha En planned to do in the future.
Uchiha En didn't know what Uchiha Fugaku was pondering. He wasn't in the Uchiha Clan at the moment; instead, he had come to the Land of Rice Fields with Asana.
Asana's parents and brother had been brought to the Sound Village by Lightning. Orochimaru had arranged accommodation for them, but Asana was a bit worried, so she came back to check on them.
After arriving at the Sound Village, Asana went to find her parents and brother, while Uchiha En went directly to Orochimaru's laboratory.
"En, long time no see!" Orochimaru greeted Uchiha En.
"It has been a while. Has Lord Orochimaru's recent experiments been going smoothly?"
"Not bad! You, on the other hand, suppressed the Nine-Tailed by yourself. You must be the strongest in Konoha now, right?"
"Pretty much!"
"En, compared to the legendary Uchiha Madara, you shouldn't be far off, right?"
Uchiha En shook his head and said, "The gap between me and Uchiha Madara is huge. Uchiha Madara possesses the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and his Susanoo can evolve into a Perfect Susanoo, with terrifying destructive power."
"My Susanoo can currently only evolve to the third stage. Defeating the Nine-Tailed in its fourth stage Susanoo required some special methods, not to mention the Perfect Susanoo."
"Is Uchiha Madara really that strong? Then what kind of demeanor did the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who could defeat him, have in his lifetime! It really makes one yearn for it!" Orochimaru exclaimed.
"Aren't you doing Edo Tensei? You can summon the First Hokage to take a look."
"The precision of my Edo Tensei is too low. The Ninja summoned have a huge gap in strength compared to when they were alive. I plan to improve Edo Tensei later."
"Speaking of Edo Tensei, Lord Orochimaru, didn't you also plan to develop a reincarnation technique of your own to achieve immortality? How is the development of this technique going?" Uchiha En asked.
"It's already completed. I am currently looking for a suitable body."
"Lord Orochimaru, let me give you a suggestion!"
"What suggestion?" Orochimaru asked.
"I heard from Asana about the principle of your reincarnation technique..." Uchiha En hadn't finished speaking when Asana pushed the door open and entered.
She happened to hear Uchiha En shifting the blame onto her.
But Asana didn't say much, walking to their side with a calm expression.
Asana was already used to Uchiha En's blame-shifting behavior.
Seeing Asana didn't react, Uchiha En cleared his throat and continued: "Ahem, Lord Orochimaru, your reincarnation technique transfers your own Mental Energy into someone else's body to obtain eternal life."
"But this technique has significant hidden dangers. First, the Mental Energy of the body used as a container must be weaker than the caster's, otherwise, the caster's Soul risks being backlashed."
"Moreover, every reincarnation causes damage to the caster's Soul. If you perform it too many times, your Mental Energy will be damaged, and your immunity to genjutsu will be greatly reduced."
"Furthermore, Lord Orochimaru, your Soul and the container are not of the same origin after all, so there will inevitably be varying degrees of rejection, which will also affect the performance of your strength."
"So I think your reincarnation technique can be improved. Don't choose any special containers, but use your own body or it to reincarnate." Uchiha En pointed at the White Zetsu and said.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said, "Analyzing from the corpse, this white guy is indeed very suitable as a body for reincarnation. It's just that I haven't seen a living one yet, so I'm not sure about the strength of its Mental Energy. I'll consider it when I have the chance to see a living one."
"What I'm more interested in is what you said about using your own body to reincarnate. What do you mean by that?"
"Has Lord Orochimaru heard of cloning?" Uchiha En asked.
"Of course I've heard of it, but this technology is currently very immature. Do you mean for me to perfect cloning technology and use it to clone my own body for reincarnation?" Orochimaru asked.
"Exactly. This way, you can minimize the damage to your Soul and not have to worry about the compatibility of the body."
"More importantly, Lord Orochimaru, you can modify your clone at will. For example, adding Byakugan genes, Sharingan genes, or Wood Release genes. In short, you can add any kind of genes you want."
Orochimaru was moved. Uchiha En's idea really spoke to his heart.
"En, your idea is very good. It seems I have to put the matter of perfecting Edo Tensei aside."
Uchiha En smiled and didn't say anything more.
Subsequently, Uchiha En followed Asana to tour the Sound Village base.
On the way, Asana asked Uchiha En, "En, you said so much to Orochimaru earlier because you didn't want him to capture so many Bloodline Limit Ninjas to use as Gu to select his container, right?"
"Hmm, no matter what, I still can't accept that method."
"Then will you think I am also a cold-blooded person? I have participated in all of Orochimaru's experiments over the years, and quite a few test subjects have died at my hands."
"I have always been a double-standard person. If Orochimaru did the same thing, even if I didn't say it on the surface, I would have to greet him behind his back."
"If it were you, I would still greet Orochimaru properly, because he must have forced you to do it."
"Pfft~" Asana laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth." Uchiha En said very seriously.
"I know. I'm laughing because I can feel that you were very serious when you said those things."
"Asana, you actually don't need to care about my opinion. The way you are in my heart will never change."
"Same here."
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything understood without words.
