Orochimaru smirks, he moved through the lab slowly.
The same dimely lit lab, filled with capsules to store human subjects.
"The ninjas you fought in the hall was genin levels, they were raised since birth here to be... Cannonfoler nothing else... Yet you struggled even after using an S-rank forbidden Jutsu."
He said in an observation tone.
I mean he isn't wrong...
"As for what I did to you.... Remember I mentioned the FN-1 drug... Well it is one of the first generation of N-series drugs."
He continued while picking up small capsules filled with thick colored liquid.
"I injected you with all 5 of the first generation drugs... FN-1 for fire release, WN-1 for water release, WN-1 for wind release, EN-1 for earth release and LN-1 for lighting release."
All the colurful drugs were of respective red, blue, green, brown and cyan in color.
"These drugs made it so that you gain all the 5 Chakra natures and improved Chakra reserves."
Then he pointed at a new set of drugs which looked the same.
"These are the second generation N-series drugs, they are not as powerful as the first generation but has a lot less side effects,...which you were able to by pass."
He looked at me.
"I have to thank you for these ones as it would have not been possible to make them without your unique trait."
"You took my blood?" I asked cautiously, it really didn't matter if he did but I want to know how much.
"Oh don't worry I only took a small amount for you, the rest were provided to me by these.", his voice suddenly became sinister as hell, then he pointed at the capsules.
I looked at them carefully...
They were me?
I realised at the moment they were my clones born for the Shin's unique trait just like the original canon.
Some were older than me while some were younger, many were missing body parts and all of them seemed to have seals on their heads.
"Because of your trait your immunity to the drugs were carried out to your clones... But the were expensive to make the amount of resources which went to make one was about 2 million senå."
Senå is the new currency of this world I don't know the history of this as if I remember the original currency in the anime was ryo not Ryo Senju the person but like the money ryo.
But damn each clone cost 2 million senå if remember correctly using Akira's memories then 1 senå is roughly equal to 10 yen.
And right now I see about 56 clones which means 112 million senå.... THAT'S EXPENSIVE AS HELLLL!
Orochimaru turned to me.
"I want to know something. Do you feel some kind of resonance with these clone?"
Resonance? No,... But I do feel some kind of connection. I guess this is how I was able to count the exact numbers of the clones.
I nodded at Orochimaru.
"Intersecting, anyways the third batch of children has arrived to check the compatibility with The first Hokage's cells."
"But before that let's have a chat."
"About what?", I said, I really wanted to sleep.
"Don't be so harsh now you are still a child, you have about 3 years left till adulthood. Though it is great if you are mature early on."
What 3 years till adulthood, well the adult age in this new world is 15 years... Well I guess that does make sense if you can send an 11 year old to war you can allow a 15 year old become an adult too.
Wait but still it's four years right? I am 11 not 12... Orochimaru isn't the type of guy to get dates wrong. How long have I been unconscious
As if reading my face Orochimaru said.
"6 months, your birthday has passed."
... Fuck This guy who knows how long I will live and now I just lost 6 months....
"Anyway, I want to talk about you. Your combat sense is based on survival rather than techniques, you biting your enemy in the mind of the fight is viscous and daring, but I think it is barbaric have a sense of profession, Akira-kun."
"... Profession? I need to fight with a sense profession? Oh great let me pull out a kunai while you rush at me. So cool being professional while I am there lying to found bleeding."
And since when did you have a sense of profession, huh?
In the original canon series, Orochimaru did have a sense of profession but not as a shinobi but as a scientist and researcher.
