This is a great fic! Fantastic story, great characterization, and loved the integration of Orochimaru's research and moral and ethical dilemmas here. ♥

Thank you so much for the kind words! Naruto has some really interesting medical/science research going on (implanting arms in the eye and have them function? sticking past hokage's DNA in Yamato? injecting Orochimaru's cells in Kabuto?) but it seems to inevitably be done by morally questionable people and thus gets this guilt by association. I wanted to look at what might happen if more ethical people tried to work on it (since mad scientist doesn't necessarily mean evil scientist).
