I really doubt that they mentioned that a good number of them would die if they accepted since I doubt any of them would have said yes.
Maybe they did. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time Orochimaru convinced down-on-their-luck kids to throw away everything they have in the pursuit of power. Maybe these are the Sasukes of the orphanages, they hate their current lot in life, and decided to go for the chance to be awesome.
Plus, going to reference the Ninja System again. Lots of ninja kids die. People know this. Yet kids still want to be Ninja. And kids don't always have the best cost-assessment skills. Ain't the first time a kid might have thought they were going to be the one who makes it against all odds, thinking they are special.
Double plus, only some of these kids are orphans. Others are ones that got put here with the consent of their parents.
There is a colossal fucking difference between training kids to kill and experimenting on civilian kids using experiments that are guaranteed to kill a number of them without their consent.
The only thing making them civilian kids is that they aren't being trained to kill. Else they'd be Academy Kids.
As for being guaranteed to kill a number of them, a number of ninja kids are guaranteed to be killed.
So yeah, the only point here seems to be consent. Which we are arguing an earlier point.
Bullfucking shit, dude there is literal magic in Naruto. You can't just say something won't work by comparing it to real life since by that logic nothing in Naruot in work due to the sole fact that a lot of the things in the setting wouldn't work.
You also can't say something WOULD work by saying "Magic". We know what they HAVE done, and if there are alternatives that could work, what is your explanation for them having not done them. We know DNA is relevant shit, and that they are altering people's DNA to give them Kekkai Genkai. So until we have a good reason to think it works different, it's the more likely to assume it works similarly.
The thing with Zetsu is that they are extremely unique lifeforms that probably don't qualify as human and are 'born' with all the abilities of the original so that isn't a fair comparison.
Hey, I said maybe. Zetsu are plant people, the idea was to make plant organs. I have no idea if the Zetsu even have organs. If the Zetsu don't qualify, then not even Madara has the know-how to do that. It's a technique we will have to invent.
Sasori created the technique himself and we can create our own techniques.
Of course we can. We just haven't done so yet. So again, don't judge Orochimaru and helpers for not using a method he doesn't have access to.
Also Orochi was able to master cloning tech in the future so it is possible. Even so we can just use fetuses created the old fashioned way and just grow that.
What do you think Orochimaru is working on now, with those clones in the cloning vats? He's working on the tech. He doesn't have it now, probably won't for another decade or two.
Plus, the only clone I'm aware of that Orochimaru made is is Mitsuki, and the impression I got was that he grew at a normal rate over years, hardly flash cloning.
Also you aren't the freaking QM so stop pretending you know what is and isn't possible in a setting you didn't create and is based on fantasy elements then passing it off as facts. That is the equivellent of making shit up to support your argument.
First, you aren't the QM either, yet you are asserting that the things you say ARE possible.
Second, I never said anything wasn't possible. Most of what I said, is that the methods don't exist
yet, and that we'd be inventing them. And since they don't exist yet, there is nothing wrong with Orochimaru using methods that DO exist currently and using them.
