In the living room, Uchiha Hikari saw Orochimaru and got up to rush into her arms.
"Orochimaru, welcome home!"
Uchiha Hikari's large black eyes held a deep longing for Orochimaru.
"Hikari, what about me? Aren't you going to welcome me?"
Having taken off her sweaty clothes and changed into loungewear, Tsunade stood with one hand on her hip, pointing to her face. Differential treatment shouldn't be like this, right?
"Tsunade, welcome home."
Uchiha Hikari looked at Tsunade and said somewhat reluctantly. After speaking, she buried her face in Orochimaru's chest again. She didn't want to be separated from Orochimaru for even a second.
Indeed, she shouldn't have gone treasure hunting in the first place!
Tsunade glared angrily at Uchiha Hikari.
"Hikari, I'm home."
Orochimaru placed her hand on Uchiha Hikari's head and gently stroked it.
The bathroom was filled with white steam. Orochimaru was fully immersed in the bathtub, smelling the apple scent, comfortably narrowing her eyes, and contemplating her research.
Since she had temporarily left the battlefield, she didn't want to focus her energy on it anymore.
Currently, research on the Gedo Statue had made progress. Cells from the Gedo Statue had been extracted from the piece of flesh, and new chunks of flesh had been cultivated.
Black Zetsu was a complete Yin-Yang Release creation; his cells were quite special and difficult to use in the human body, far less useful than the White Zetsu Cells, which were once human and transformed by the God Tree.
Currently, attempts were being made in the Laboratory to cultivate Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's cells. Another Ōtsutsuki cell, present in the Gedo Statue, was also being cultivated. Based on genetic differences, it could be determined that the owner of that cell was male.
This was what surprised Orochimaru the most. It was one thing for the Gedo Statue to contain Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's cells, but why were there also cells from a male Ōtsutsuki?
This easily led to wild speculation.
Especially since she was also a famous 'royal uncle' author, it was easy for her to come up with a several hundred thousand-word family ethics drama.
Research on Hashirama cells was progressing rather slowly. Attempts were currently being made to modify Hashirama cells to eliminate their terrifying devouring ability. Once Hashirama cells lost that ability, they could be fully developed into body-strengthening agents for use.
It had to be said, they were indeed the cells of the 'plant man' Senju Hashirama. Even though their owner had been dead for so many years, the cells' vitality was still terrifying. Ordinary people who transplanted Hashirama cells would almost certainly die.
Individuals like Yamato in the original story were one in ten thousand.
Research on Chakra Poison was progressing slowly. Orochimaru had considered combining Hashirama cells and Chakra Poison to see if it could enhance the corrosive ability of the Chakra Poison.
However, Hashirama cells were too dominant; they might just devour the Chakra Poison as nutrients.
Research on liquid invisible contact lenses was nearing completion. Orochimaru had almost tried all available materials in the world, and her work on liquid invisible contact lenses was almost at its end.
