Chapter 593: Chapter – 586 Mysterious as an Abyss
"How do you know that I have transplanted Sharingan and Shodaime-sama's Cells?"
Ever since he had completed the implantation of Hashirama Cells and Sharingan in his body, Danzo regards these two as his trump card… and he put a lot of effort into making sure that his trump card remains a secret…
For this, not only does Danzo always keep his right arm bandaged and sealed with gauntlets-like seals to avoid anyone from noticing any abnormality in his right hand, he still keeps his right arm hidden inside his dark-grey robe and generally uses a walking crutch to highlight his fragility in order to fool his enemies.
Moreover, since implantation, he has made fewer and fewer public appearances, as such, very few people are aware of the fact that he has transplanted Sharingan and Hashirama Cells…
And even those very few people only include his subordinates in Root––excluding Naomi because he didn't trust her enough with this knowledge––and Orochimaru…
Before his defection from Konoha, Orochimaru was one of the insiders in the Hashirama Cells research that was being conducted in Root, and he had solved a lot of technical problems that Danzo was facing back then, therefore, when Homusubi––who shouldn't be aware of this information––mentioned 'Hashirama Cells and Sharingan transplantation', Danzo's first suspect was naturally Orochimaru. And without waiting for Homusubi to answer his question, Danzo's stern gaze filled with killing intent landed on Orochimaru…
Feeling the undisguised killing intent of Danzo as well as several Root Shinobi hidden in the Shadows, Orochimaru remained unperturbed, and shrugged indifferently, "Don't look at me… I don't have anything to do with how she knows your so-called secret…"
After giving a casual answer, Orochimaru glanced at Homusubi, he was curious as to why did she mention such a thing so casually... Of course, Orochimaru didn't really find it strange that Homusubi was aware of Danzo's little secret.
Orochimaru guessed that the reason why Homusubi knows of Danzo's so-called secret is probably Fujin.
Orochimaru knows that Fujin has Byakugan, and using that Byakugan, he must have noticed Danzo's little secret and reported it back to the Amatsukami Organization, so, Homusubi who is part of the Amatsukami is also aware of Danzo's little secret. However, Danzo didn't know that Fujin had a pair of Byakugan, as such, he didn't suspect Fujin, and focused on other possible suspects… which is him…
Naturally, Orochimaru didn't care whether he was being suspected or not…
Danzo didn't believe Orochimaru either… and seeing this, Homusubi folded her arms under her bust, and said in an impatient tone, "If you think that Amatsukami wouldn't even be aware of such a piece of information before contacting you, then either you are underestimating us too much, or you are overestimating yourself too much…
We took the trouble of contacting you, naturally, we did so after investigating your physical condition and background… And it would be best for you to understand that acquiring such simple information is not that big of a deal for us, so don't be too surprised…
Now sit down, and let me continue, I haven't yet finished speaking what I was talking about…"
Danzo's sceptical gaze swept across Homusubi, Orochimaru, and even Chief Researcher who was standing behind him, then finding no flaw, he finally took back his seat, but with a sullen look on his face.
With Danzo seated back, Homusubi started flipping through several documents that she was carrying and explained at the same time, "So, as I was saying… the fact that you have transplanted Hashirama Cells and several three-tomoe Sharingan makes your situation quite complicated… although, this is also a big advantage for you…" Homusubi paused here, and after handing over a few pieces of parchments to Danzo, she continued, "Hiruko's choices of Kekkei Genkai that he selected for the Chimera Ritual were Steel Release, Swift Release, Storm Release, Dark Release, and Sharingan…
From Hiruko's perspective, he gathered five Kekkei Genkai that he believed would make him the perfect Shinobi… but that's not exactly how it actually worked when he absorbed them…"
Orochimaru, Danzo, and the Chief Researcher looked at Homusubi with curious expressions…
Homusubi continued, "If you look closely, you'll find that among the five Kekkei Genkai Hiruko had selected, whether intentionally or unintentionally he had gathered several different Chakra Natures…
'Steel Release' primarily represents Earth Chakra Nature, 'Swift Release' primarily represents Wind Chakra Nature, 'Storm Release' represents Lightning and Water Chakra Nature, 'Dark Release' primarily represents Water Chakra Nature, and then the 'Sharingan' represents Yin Chakra Nature…
By acquiring these particular five Kekkei Genkai, Hiruko managed to acquire five different Chakra Natures in a somewhat balanced state… So, it can be said that the ritual he designed was stable for five Chakra Natures… and allowed him to survive…"
After this deep explanation, Danzo nodded, but his expression was still gloomy because of what happened a little while ago.
Orochimaru had an indifferent smile throughout the explanation because he had personally witnessed Hiruko's Absorption Ritual, therefore, he is aware of the entire process…
Homusubi paid no mind, and said, "However, I say that what really made him survive and succeed wasn't the somewhat balanced Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual he designed, but pure luck!
If not for that luck, there is just no way he would have managed to survive because the ritual he designed had a fatal flaw… And the ironic thing is that even Hiruko never realized this fatal flaw, although the reason for him not being able to realize it is his lack of knowledge and understanding of Chakra!
Nonetheless, because he was lucky, his luck made up for his lack of knowledge and allowed him to become the so-called perfect Shinobi."
As Homusubi's words fell Danzo was again puzzled…
Even Orochimaru's eyebrows twisted in a frown because he too is unable to see the flaw that Homusubi is talking about…
Homusubi did not make them wait too long, and directly explained, "From the Chakra Natures perspective, Hiruko's ritual focused on the integration of just five Chakra Natures, he may have succeeded and survived, but this is actually not safe…
For the ritual to be considered truly safe and successful, we must also add Fire Chakra Nature and Yang Chakra Nature in the mix as well… that is, we must consider all seven Chakra Natures.
Only when all the seven Chakra natures truly integrate, the success rate of the ritual will increase, and make the ritual truly successful."
Danzo questioned, "If that's the case, then how did Hiruko succeed?"
Homusubi smirked, and answered, "I mentioned earlier that Hiruko survived purely on his luck… The reason being that among the five prey he had selected, the Uchiha Shinobi with the Sharingan not only represented Yin Chakra Nature but also represented Fire Chakra Nature because you know, Uchiha Clan is naturally good at Fire Style, and by absorbing that Uchiha Shinobi, he managed to acquire both Fire and Yin Chakra Nature…
Similarly, the 'Swift Release' user he captured was actually an Uzumaki descendant so he provided Hiruko with Yang Chakra Nature apart from the Wind Chakra Nature…
Therefore, even though Hiruko should have obtained only five Chakra Natures as per his design, he still managed to acquire all seven of them purely based on his luck…"
When Danzo heard this theory, he was taken aback…
Let alone Danzo, even Orochimaru, and the Chief Researcher were no different and seemed as if they were lost in thought.
'Integration of all Seven Chakra Natures?' Such an idea kept revolving in their mind, but they were unable to imagine such a thing happening…
Whether it is Danzo, Chief Researcher, or Orochimaru, they are all limited by their vision…
In this Shinobi World where the fusion of just two Chakra Nature is already considered a very big deal, and three is the highest limit that an individual has managed, integration of all the seven Chakra Natures is something they have never even thought to be possible…
At the same time, none of them has enough understanding of the Yin and Yang chakra Natures, so they don't really understand what their combination can represent.
So, after listening to Homusubi's explanation, all three of them were shocked, and realized their previous negligence…
The one most shocked was none other than Orochimaru who had already put away his indifferent and casual expression, his snake-like eyes with vertical slits were intensely focused on Homusubi, and he was thinking, 'I didn't expect that Amatsukami's research on Chimera Jutsu would be so thorough… No, it is better to say that the knowledge that the members of Amatsukami have is naturally very advanced… otherwise, it is simply impossible for each of them to have such advanced mastery of their respective fields…'
When it comes to knowledge and research, Orochimaru is highly proud of himself, because there are very few people who can match him… however, the theories put forth by Homusubi really opened Orochimaru's eyes… He also realized that similar to Hiruko he too has been limiting his vision… At the same time, Orochimaru can't help but become more vigilant of Amatsukami… because at this moment, he realized that the deeper he tries to figure out the Amatsukami Organization, the more mysterious it becomes… just like… just like an abyss.

Chapter 594: Chapter – 587 Untitled
Smash!
Danzo struck his crutch on the ground to break the silence in the room. Then asked Homusubi with a frowned expression, "You said that I have an advantage in this aspect… is it because my body already has Yin and Yang Chakra from the Sharingan and the Hashirama Cells that I have implanted, and I wouldn't have to worry about these two Chakra Natures?"
Homusubi nodded, "Sort of… your body already has two Kekkei Genkai that are giving you two of the seven Chakra Natures… that being Yin and Yang Chakra Natures which are the most important of all, so what you have to focus on is obtaining the other five basic Chakra Natures…"
Danzo was disappointed for a moment, the reason being, he realized that he won't be able to devour Mika's Kekkei Genkai which is based on Yang Chakra Nature Transformation… but after thinking about it a little he no longer cared whether he would be able to devour her Kekkei Genkai or not… after all, he would still have seven other Kekkei Genkai including both Sharingan and the Mokuton… Upon reaching such a conclusion, his stretched brows loosened, and his tone became brisk as well, as he said, "If that's the case… what else is there to worry about?"
However, before Danzo could become so happy, Homusubi poured cold water, "It's not that simple…" and while shaking her head, she explained as she pointed at Danzo's right arm, "I have said it before… your situation is quite complicated… Although, you have implanted Hashirama Cells and several three-tomoe Sharingan… the method and techniques of implantation are too poor and crude and they have left behind a lot of hidden dangers in your body. The two forces of Sharingan and Hashirama Cells that is, Yin Chakra and Yang Chakra are barely in an equilibrium state inside your body… if either of them is consumed beyond a certain limit, then you will lose control of both of them, and there would be life-threatening consequences… I think you should know this better than me, so you should understand what I am trying to imply here…"
Due to the limitations of technological advancement at that time, Danzo's transplantation technique is the most unsophisticated and the most unstable.
The right arm, implanted with several three-tomoe Sharingan that he got transplanted in his body does not even belong to him but to a kid named Shin who was part of the Root until a few months ago and has gone missing some time after the tri-Alliance's raid on Akatsuki Organization at Amegakure. Regardless of what that kid is doing now, the focus here is that the way the transplantation of Hashirama Cells has been done in his arm is also very rough.
In fact, the way Shin's right hand is transplanted into Danzo's body can also be considered an attempt towards 'Organ Fusion'.
And when that arm implanted with several three-tomoe Sharingan and Hashirama Cells was transplanted into Danzo's body, it was just an organ level transplantation, not even the cellular level transplantation much less genetic level.
Regardless, all Homusubi had to say for it is that it is the result of a lack of capable subordinates on Danzo's side… And she is indeed very correct, if Danzo had capable subordinates, then they would have at least attempted cellular level fusion even if genetic level seemed beyond their pay grade…
Facts have proven that the genetic level fusion is the most thorough of all types… although the rate of failure is very high in the case of genetic level, once successful, genetic level fusion provides the most stability… Hyuga Kuroto and all his clones are the best examples…
In the case of Kuroto, once he merged all the recessive genes of the Hyuga Clan and managed to successfully activate all the 33 gene sequences and then awakened the Tenseigan, there was no phenomenon of rejection or runaway… Similarly, for the clones, once Kuroto manages to successfully fuse the genes, the other steps become rather easy and there are very few cases of rejection… This Genetic Fusion is indeed the best.
Even cellular level fusion is much better compared to the organ level because after the fusion is successful, it will also tend to be stable… Hashirama Cell transplantation in Madara and Obito are very good examples…
And finally comes the Organ Level fusion which is the most inferior and also the most stable… Even if Danzo succeeded using this method, the state of his body is in extreme danger due to the runaway of Hashirama Cells, if the balance of Yin Chakra plummets.
This was clearly seen in the battle between Danzo and Uchiha Sasuke in the cannon.
After he had consumed a lot of Yin Chakra due to repeated use of Izanagi, the balance between Yin and Yang Chakra was disrupted, and immediately after that, the Hashirama Cells in his hands ran out of his control.
The same situation can arise during the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual… If Hashirama Cells are not controlled, then they will definitely run out of control… and if Hashirama Cells run out of control, then rather than Danzo becoming a perfect Shinobi with seven Kekkei Genkai, he will become a humongous tree!
And since Homusubi did not want that to happen, she gave a true evaluation of Danzo's state…
But of course, what Homusubi stated might have been the truth, it wasn't pleasant to everyone's ears… When Danzo heard Homusubi's unceremonious evaluation, he wasn't very happy… "How dare you!?"
At the same time, because of Homusubi's frankness in evaluating his state, deep down in his heart, Danzo developed a little trust in Homusubi… and was willing to believe in her…
Obviously, Homusubi didn't know what the old guy Danzo was thinking, and without any regard for his irritated expression, she spoke indifferently, "Considering that you have cells of many different people in your body, especially the cells of Senju Hashirama's, you should select the other five Kekkei Genkai in such a manner that all the seven Chakra Natures will be in a balanced state… Make note that Hashirama Cells also gives you some extent of Earth and Water Chakra Nature…"
For Shimura Danzo's Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, Homusubi has been quite honest and has provided all the help necessary…
This is done in order to make sure that Danzo gets as close to success as possible…
As said before, Danzo has all the things necessary to be a perfect pawn… he has manpower at his disposal, he has enough financial power, most of all he yearns for power, and is bold enough to take even the most drastic of steps for the sake of so-called dreams… a second pawn like Danzo will be hard to come by in the future… and Kuroto wants to exploit Danzo to the maximum to explore the path ahead in order to smoothen his journey into achieving Kekkei Mora in the future.
While Danzo was pondering over Homusubi's words, Orochimaru also recovered from his thoughts and silently observed the situation…
After keenly observing everything that Homusubi has said up to now, Orochimaru was able to guess some of her thoughts… according to what he has guessed, Amatsukami has the same idea as him, they intend to use Shimura Danzo as a 'lab rat' / 'guinea pig' to probably test something…
After understanding this, Orochimaru thought a little and said to Danzo, "Danzo-sama… I have a suggestion… and this might further increase the success rate…"
Both Homusubi and Danzo were curious and looked at Orochimaru with quizzical expressions, and Danzo questioned, "What suggestion?"
"As Homusubi stated, the technique used to transplant that right arm in your body is very poor… and it will certainly affect the future outcome of the ritual… If you allow me, I can do a comprehensive inspection and transformation of your entire body, such that, the transplantation will become more stable, and your body will also be able to undergo ritual safely…" said Orochimaru.
When it comes to body modification and body transformation, Orochimaru can be said to be standing at the pinnacle of the current Shinobi World, and even Kuroto who is highly advanced in biotechnology can not be compared to him…
Take Orochimaru as an example… this guy has trodden the path of body modification and transformation to such a level that he can't even be considered a human anymore… His true form is that of a giant white snake made up of many smaller snakes. Therefore, when he proposed body modification for Danzo both Homusubi and Danzo were taken aback… and had to consider it for a moment…
It's just that Orochimaru's every word gives off a 'conspiracy' vibe, so they were not sure whether to accept his proposal or not.
Homusubi in particular stretched her brows and stared at Orochimaru fiercely… her eyes were clearly stating, "Orochimaru…! How can you be so blatant in treating Shimura Danzo as a 'lab rat'?"
Obviously, Orochimaru understood what Homusubi was trying to say, he chuckled lightly and blinked as if saying, "Aren't you the same? And don't worry… even if Danzo realizes that we are treating him as a 'lab rat', he won't refuse…!"
And while Homusubi and Orochimaru were talking with their eyes, Danzo looked at the two of them with a gloomy face… but he chose to remain silent and didn't say anything which was exactly as Orochimaru had expected.
Although Danzo may not have a clear idea of what Orochimaru and Homusubi are planning, he does know that they intend to do something… But even if he knows this, Danzo doesn't care… What he desires is power… So long as he can get the level of power he wants, he doesn't mind playing in the palms of Homusubi and Orochimaru for a while…
What's more… who is using whom to achieve their purpose can not be decided until the final card is played… As long as he is the last one standing among the three, he will be the ultimate winner who used both Amatsukami and Orochimaru to achieve his purpose.
