In the largest conference room in Konoha space, the Third Hokage, three advisors, heads of departments, ninja clan chiefs and jounin representatives all gathered here.
More than eighty faces showed eagerness, and nearly two hundred eyes were fixed on the end of the conference table without blinking, their gazes as intense as entities.
Where everyone's eyes met, the Jonin captain Shikaku Nara was counting the names on the last few ballots.
But judging from his expression, he already knew the answer and was very satisfied with the result.
"Jōnin Namikaze Minato received twenty votes; Lord Orochimaru received fifty-six votes; the rest received a total of four votes."
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the front row, turned to look at a long-haired ninja next to him whose gender and age were difficult to distinguish with an encouraging smile.
Orochimaru's always sharp gaze was weakened by the blue-purple eye shadow. He nodded slightly and responded with a subtle smile that said "everything is under control". He seemed not surprised by the result.
"According to the voting rules established by the Second Hokage, if a candidate gets more than 2/3 of the votes in the first round of elections, there is no need to conduct the next round of elections.
"Therefore, I declare that the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village——
"Lord Orochimaru will be in charge!"
As soon as these words came out, many Jonin representatives almost jumped up and applauded in celebration. Everyone's eyes were filled with uncontrollable enthusiasm.
Without exception, this group of people were all ninjas who accepted Orochimaru's direct command during the Third Ninja War.
However, not only his subordinates, but also Orochimaru's competitor, Namikaze Minato, who received the second most votes, also had a convinced smile on his face and was not frustrated by his defeat.
"Be calm and don't be impatient. Be calm and don't be impatient."
Nara Shikaku raised his hands and pressed down, "There is one last step."
Everyone fell silent, and some even smiled sheepishly.
Nara Shikaku nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the elderly people at the front of the conference table.
"I would like to ask the Third Hokage-sama and the three advisors, do they object to Orochimaru-sama being the Fourth Hokage?"
"No objection."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a smile, "We were able to turn the tide and even win the great victory in this ninja war because of Orochimaru's calm command. He is my best student, and I believe he will become a better student than me.
A better Hokage!"
"The three of us have no objections."
Shimura Danzo made the choice for them without even looking at the other two elders. Fortunately, judging from their expressions, the two men did not have any objections.
"If Orochimaru hadn't accepted my invitation, personally led the root wood escape experiment, and used the finished product to frighten Ohnoki and the Third Raikage, even if we were the victors, we wouldn't have been able to reap such huge benefits.
"Don't talk about Hiruzen, even when the Second Hokage was in power, he never made Konoha the strongest ninja village worthy of the name! But Orochimaru did it!
"As an advisory elder, I am willing to assist such a Hokage wholeheartedly."
Danzo's words were eloquent and resonated with many people.
"No one will object at all!"
"Captain Nara, there is no need to ask anyone else!"
"That's right!"
"Other than Lord Orochimaru, we will not accept anyone else as Hokage."
Every word you said to me in the conference room soon became an uproar.
"It's hard to disobey all orders."
After complaining, Nara Shikaku made a gesture of invitation: "In that case, please trouble Lord Orochimaru to go up to the rooftop and complete the handover ceremony of Hokage."
Orochimaru tried hard to restrain himself and try not to let the excitement spread to his face. He nodded calmly as always, gaining more recognition and respect.
Just as the etiquette staff opened the door and prepared to guide him to change into the Hokage's exclusive robe, Orochimaru glanced at the faces in the room and suddenly noticed something that made him uncomfortable.
When everything you experience is going as you wish, such "discomfort" is very strange and unexpected.
[Among the representatives of the Ninja clan, why is there no Uchiha Fugaku? 】
【Obviously the election went so smoothly, why do I feel something is wrong?】
However, he didn't have time to think about it, after all, he didn't know he was dreaming.
The next second, he had already passed the half-hour preparation time, put on his clothes, put on a red hat with the word "fire" written on it, and arrived at the edge of the rooftop of the Hokage Building.
The crowd in the square downstairs spotted the snake sticking its head out, and immediately cheered like a roaring tsunami. Even the Hokage's bamboo hat was slightly stirred by the crowd's fiery enthusiasm.
This move finally completely dispelled Orochimaru's suspicion that something was wrong, and also released him from the leather holster that he had always been cautious about.
There was no need for Nara Shikaku to remind him. With a wave of his sleeve, the whole square fell silent instantly, as if everyone had their souls taken away at the same time.
Orochimaru has always been proud of his values that are completely different from ordinary people. However, at this moment, he found that he actually enjoyed this moment extremely.
Everyone in the village is eagerly awaiting his words, intending to take every word he says as a standard and recite it over and over until they can even repeat it in their dreams.
After all, if you can stand in the light and receive the spotlight, who really wants to stay in a dark place and be cynical?
"Everyone."
After taking a deep breath, Orochimaru spoke: "Ever since I was very young, I have been thinking about one thing.
"What is there in this world that is worthy of a person pursuing without hesitation?"
He paused and looked around the crowd, "I can guess that the answer in most of your minds is nothing more than strength, power, wealth, health, and feelings. There are very few exceptions.
"Those of you who are ninjas, you must be extremely thirsty for power. Because power is the foundation and the guarantee for survival, wealth, power and other cherished things."
Hearing this, almost all Konoha ninja nodded in approval.
"That's what I thought at the time, so I learned as much ninjutsu as possible and went to find the holy land of magic hidden in the mountains and jungles. I almost made improving my strength the only focus of my life."
But Orochimaru's words changed: "However, as I grow older, I find that strength will eventually decline as the body ages."
He glanced at the Third Hokage thoughtfully.
“As the body declines, wealth will be plundered, power will be emptied, accumulated knowledge will become blurred, and even survival itself will become increasingly uncontrollable.
“In the end, everything a person accumulates in his life will be in vain...
"Let me ask, if a person has worked hard and done everything he can, and the final reward is that his life will be extinguished and disappear into smoke, then what is the meaning of such a life?!"
The audience looked a little confused, but there were also some people who agreed with Orochimaru's complaints, such as Shimura Danzo.
"So, I overturned the conclusion I made when I was young. No matter how tempting power is, it is only a necessary tool, not the ultimate answer to all problems.
“The only thing worth a person’s efforts and pursuing at any cost is one thing, and that is – eternal life.
"Only by defeating time itself, everything we have paid in the past will be meaningful, and we can accumulate more and move towards infinite possibilities!"
Orochimaru spread his arms, and his godly robes rustled in the sunset.
"Whoever has endless life has everything!"
He looked at the crowd whose faces were gradually turning red and knew that the preparations had been completed and it was time to reveal his future plans.
"Today, Konoha has become the strongest among all ninja villages.
"We defeated all our enemies and left them in a state of despair for several years, unable to think about anything but cutting their losses.
“This gives us opportunities and gaps to pursue more fun at a higher level besides survival and victory.
"Therefore, as the Fourth Hokage, I no longer intend to compete with those ordinary people on a fixed track.
"I want to use all the manpower and material resources that this village can use to realize a more imaginative plan——
"To defeat the erosion of time and obtain an immortal body!"
In the past, he could achieve such an achievement only with Danzo's help.
Once the tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha Village are used by him to find test subjects for him in the entire ninja world, it goes without saying what the result will be!
Wrapped in huge confidence, Orochimaru spoke decisively:
"You guys need to understand that I'm not the only one who can benefit from this!"
"Strength will not decline in such a body, but will only continue to accumulate and become stronger. As long as I am the shadow of Konoha, this village's dominance will last forever!
"Knowledge cannot be forgotten in such a body, it will only continue to be intertwined and developed. Eventually, I will share all the knowledge with you, and everyone will receive unimaginable rewards.
"At that time, you will understand that humans are just bridges to God."
When it comes to gods, Orochimaru's speech style suddenly begins to change in Pain's direction.
"I will surpass all ninjas and all lives. Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths cannot compare with me!"
"Now, I invite you to join me.
“Those who oppose will become fuel and my ladder to eternal life;
"And those who support me will be my hunters and search for me, and they will be rewarded!"
Orochimaru pressed his hands on the fence on the rooftop, and his snake eyes filled with infinite ambition stared down coldly: "Will you stand by our side?"
Butterfly Ninja once said to Giyu that dreams are the fulfillment of wishes. To put it bluntly, they are "wishful thinking" fantasies.
Therefore, Orochimaru's crazy plan was not questioned by anyone at all. The reason why people remained silent was entirely because they were shocked by such "ambition".
The deathly silence lasted only three seconds, and endless cheers immediately exploded like fireworks!
"Orochimaru!"
"Orochimaru!"
"Orochimaru!"
Everyone stood on Orochimaru's side.
Including those who would never agree to such a thing in reality.
After the speech, the new Hokage will attend the inauguration banquet and wait on the rooftop for congratulations from other ninjas.
The ninjas came and left one by one. The congratulations from Jiraiya, Tsunade, Nezuki (he was still alive in the dream) and even Anko Mitarai made Orochimaru, a cold-blooded creature, couldn't help but be touched.
.
However, after waiting and waiting until the sun went down, Orochimaru still didn't see Uchiha Fugaku, whom he cared about most.
"Why didn't Uchiha Fugaku come?"
He asked Nara Shikaku.
"Uchiha Mikoto just gave birth today, so Fugaku may not arrive until later." Nara Shikaku replied: "I heard three months ago that she was pregnant with twins."
Suddenly, he looked towards the stairs: "Look, isn't this coming? The whole family is here."
Orochimaru raised his head, and sure enough he saw the Uchiha couple walking towards this side with a baby in their arms, followed behind them was the famous genius of Konoha Ninja School, Uchiha Itachi.
"Hokage-sama."
When Uchiha Fugaku spoke to Orochimaru, he didn't even have the unruly attitude towards the Hokage and advisors, and looked very respectful.
"I'm really sorry that I missed your inauguration speech, was late for the celebration, and didn't even prepare a gift."
"It's okay." Orochimaru suddenly felt that the uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and his whole person felt much more relaxed.
He reached out and touched the face of the child in Miqin's arms, "Speaking of gifts, there are gifts. What can be more precious than the child born on this special day today?"
"What do you mean?" Uchiha Fugaku was surprised, "Are you planning to accept this child as a student?"
"This child will have many years to grow up," he nodded slightly and shook his head, then naturally glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who had a deep expression on his side.
"However, I heard that the eldest son of the Fugaku clan has not yet met a qualified teacher? I wonder if I have this qualification?"
"How about it?" Orochimaru leaned down and stared at Uchiha Itachi, or rather his two dark eyes, "Are you willing?"
"Teacher." Uchiha Itachi bowed to Orochimaru without saying a word, looking unusually obedient.
"Then from today on, you will be my student."
[I didn’t expect that it would be so easy to have a useful body in the first place!]
While Orochimaru was chatting with the flattered Uchiha couple, he looked at the sleeping baby, [If this child shows a stronger talent, then he will be the next one. 】
Soon, the day ended and night came. The huge full moon came over everyone's heads at a strange speed, and the celebration party finally came to an end.
"Since this child was born on the day you took office, Hokage-sama," Uchiha Fugaku took the baby from Mikoto and gently rocked it in front of Orochimaru, "please give him a name."
"How is Sasuke Uchiha?"
For some reason, Orochimaru felt that this child should be called this name, as if this was an established fact.
"Sasuke? Sasuke...Sasuke!"
Fugaku repeated it several times, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the name was very appealing, "Then it will be called Uchiha Sasuke.
After receiving the child's name, Uchiha Mikoto leaned forward slightly and said, "Hokage-sama, it's late today, so we'll take Sasuke back first. We still have many procedures to go through early tomorrow morning."
"Please." Orochimaru nodded and watched the Uchiha family leave.
But just as the family of four turned around, the feeling that something was wrong came back, and it was stronger than before, as if a hand made of thorns was tightly holding Orochimaru's intestines.
"etc!"
Orochimaru frowned and quickly stopped them.
"Lord Orochimaru?" The Uchiha family turned around in confusion, "Do you have any other instructions?"
"I remember, you had twins in your family today, weren't they?"
Orochimaru looked around, and took a special look at Uzumaki Kushina, who had a good relationship with Uchiha Mikoto, and found that the woman did not have a child in her arms.
"Didn't you bring the other one in the hospital?"
"What are you talking about?" Uchiha Mikoto showed a kind smile, "If Giyuu had been there, he would have been here long ago?"
"Already arrived? Wait," suddenly, Orochimaru felt that his stomach and intestines seemed to be twisted together, and his heartbeat was as irregular as the steps of an honor guard suddenly disrupted: "Uchiha Giyu?"
At the mention of this name, he felt an emotion called fear that he had not seen for a long time, and his already pale skin was even stained with a layer of deathly cyan.
"Click——"
Thunder suddenly burst out from the sky for no reason, blue cracks suddenly tore apart the cloudless sky, and then came the downpour without warning!
When the cold rain hit his face, Orochimaru felt himself - no, the entire Konoha collapsed like a plummeting elevator! Then, the world began to spin!
"Earthquake!" The crowd was instantly confused, and several panicked voices came and went, "It's an earthquake! Leave quickly!"
Orochimaru used his chakra to stand firm, frowned and came to the edge of the rooftop, where he saw the Konoha Village swaying like waves on the sea.
What's more, the entire village began to spin with the Hokage Building as the center, as if where he was was a whirlpool that could suck everything in!
What followed was a stronger earthquake, and a crack struck from a distance like the trembling handwriting of a god when he was practicing calligraphy, splitting the entire Hokage building into two in an instant!
The half of the building where Orochimaru was not around tilted and instantly fell into the ever-widening crack. Countless ninjas who had made great contributions on the battlefield fell one after another. Screams came one after another. As far as the eye could see, no one who fell could survive. After successfully gaining a foothold on the ground, it takes less than half a second to crawl to the ground.
"How could there be such a strong earthquake!"
Orochimaru realized something was wrong and quickly looked at the Uchiha family, only to find that the family of four was like a big tree with roots, unwaveringly standing on the collapsed building!
The family just looked at him curiously, as if they were in another completely safe time and space, and Orochimaru was a crazy psycho.
【what happened?!】
The doubts in my heart were not over yet, another burst of crackling sound like a thunder god beating a drum erupted from the south of Konoha Village.
Orochimaru looked around and found that the trees over there seemed to have been trampled by some invisible giant, and they fell down row by row!
In the end, like a charging herd of silver elephants, the culprit pushed down the last row of trees, rushed to the building, and devoured it at lightning speed!
"It's a flood! The rain is too heavy! The Nanga River has burst its banks!"
[What kind of scale can a river burst its banks cause? 】
When Orochimaru heard the shouting, he felt like he was going crazy. [Could it be a ninja attack from another village?]
And this isn't over yet.
The cracks that are still spreading on the ground cut off the Ninja World Building and also cut off the Hokage Rock - but what is incredible is that after the Hokage Rock broke, what spewed out was fiery red magma!
The earthquake has almost leveled the entire Konoha!
However, there was an eruption of magma in the front, followed by a roar of water nearly twenty meters high. The few living people were submerged and swallowed up one by one. In the end, it seemed that only he and he standing on the uncollapsed Hokage Building were left in the entire village.
The Uchiha family.
【Are you kidding?】
Just when Orochimaru wondered whether he had been possessed by some Sharingan illusion, a familiar voice sounded in the distant sky, but it seemed to appear directly in his mind.
[To people like you, I am an earthquake, a flood, a volcanic eruption, and an irresistible tsunami.]
"Who is it?" Orochimaru looked around in panic, but there were only raging waves except for the red magma.
[I am a meteorite hanging above your head that can fall at any time. I am a natural disaster that you cannot predict and cannot avoid.]
The muffled sounds of popping popping sounded one after another.
Orochimaru noticed that the corpses of those who died in the natural disaster all exploded into masses of crimson blood mist, like organized migratory birds, connecting into countless thread-like streams and flying into the night sky - to be precise,
It's flying to the bright moon.
[As long as you are seen in a place with light, as long as you hurt someone and are known, I will give up everything I am doing...]
The blood mist gathered together and dyed the entire moon red.
【No matter the cost, I will chase you to the end of the world!】
The Uchiha family who were originally staying on the roof with him all showed subtle smiles, and suddenly turned into ink stains and flew into the sky——
The Uchiha couple and Uchiha Itachi turned into three magatama on the red moon, while the infant Uchiha Sasuke turned into a black ball surrounded by three magatama, or in other words, the pupil of a giant Sharingan.
.
At this moment, the biting cold air froze every blood vessel in Orochimaru's body.
He once had an unstoppable desire for the Sharingan, and now he has just as much fear for it.
The feeling of wanting to scream took off from his abdomen and kept spiraling up, but in the end it could not break through his throat, which was as tight as the eye of a needle.
[When you are most triumphant and think you have escaped, when you least expect it...]
【I will come behind you.】
"Behind me?"
Orochimaru turned around suddenly, and hundreds of the most vicious snakes came out of his sleeves and bit him forward, but all his bites missed.
There was no one on the concrete floor behind him.
Thunder tore through the sky once again, and just when it turned the entire world into a pale negative, Orochimaru fell into mad despair——
There was indeed no one behind him.
However, further behind him, outside the entire Konoha, outside the majestic mountains, outside this planet, an indescribable figure that almost covered the sky and the sun was standing quietly.
over there.
"Things like you shouldn't exist in this world."
The majestic sounds of heaven come to mind, but what they bring is ruthless destruction.
The figure as huge as the sky raised his arm, pierced the atmosphere with his index finger, turned into a meteorite wrapped in flames, and pressed down towards Orochimaru's position!
Obviously the meteorite is still hundreds of kilometers away, but Orochimaru has already felt his insignificance under this great power——
An invisible wind pressure blew down from the sky, and Orochimaru fell down with half of the Hokage building where he was!
The building was reduced to crumbs, and Orochimaru escaped by relying on the Substitute Technique. He turned into a monster with a human head and a snake body and got in through the crack that split the earth, desperately falling deeper!
However, the magma and torrents have already arrived nearby, and when they encounter a crack, they pour in mercilessly!
The denser fiery red lava fell first on Orochimaru's snake body, and the pain was beyond description in words.
He planned to use the Substitute Technique to escape again, but the cold river water finally arrived and was poured on the magma. While thick steam was rising, it also turned the magma into hard rock!
Then, more magma and rain continued to accumulate on Orochimaru's body effortlessly, eventually wrapping him up, leaving only one eye belonging to a mentally broken man, looking at the sky lit by meteorites.
【You can never escape!】
"call--"
In a dark stone cave, Orochimaru in the real world straightened up like a corpse, and immediately supported his painful and splitting forehead with his right hand.
His eyes were wide open in horror, and his physical condition was still the same as in his dream. His chest was rising and falling rapidly like a blacksmith's bellows, and cold sweat overflowed from his pores like a stream.
"It's so miserable. The nightmare can't stop even for a day."
A Bai Jue half-body emerged from the ground and mocked with a smile: "When you are awake, you are waiting to be killed, and when you are asleep, you cannot escape this kind of mental torture. Your life is really miserable."
He slowly moved to the stone bed where Orochimaru was sitting, and asked curiously: "If I were you, wouldn't it be better to die completely? Aren't you ninjas all - 'If you want me to live in humiliation, why not
"Kill me" type? Or do you have no sense of honor anymore? "
"As an artificial intelligent creature, you are very curious."
Orochimaru let go of his hand after his headache subsided slightly, and half-jokingly said in a gloomy tone: "Even the 'Six Paths Sage' in this world has given up his dignity and lived in humiliation. How can I refuse my fate?"
"You mean Payne?" Bai Jue was silent for a long time, then asked a little stiffly: "What do you mean by this? Who can do anything to him? Where has he been humiliated?"
"I may not be good at estimating threats from others, but I can tell at a glance who is actively participating in their destiny and who is being forced to do things they don't want to do."
Orochimaru stood up and rolled up the towel in the corner to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, "Penn is a person who talks a lot of nonsense and has a strong desire to control. Back then, I just wanted to join the Akatsuki organization, and he prepared a lot of details.
questions to test my reliability.
"But a few times ago, after he helped me solve the hidden danger of immortal reincarnation, when he asked questions about Uchiha Giyu, his questions were very general, as if he was just following a script arranged by others.
"So I guess the current real owner of the Akatsuki organization is someone else, right? A person who truly works for himself will not be so unenthusiastic."
Bai Jue did not respond directly, "I think you were too stimulated by the dream and your brain was confused."
A glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
This white thing has a very strict mouth. But if you guess wrong, it will attract more than just this wave of ridicule.
[As expected, even the ‘gods’ of the Kingdom of Rain are controlled by them, but how do they do this? 】
[With the life of the blue-haired woman? Or with the fate of the Kingdom of Rain? Or do they have the means to suppress the Samsara Eye head-on? 】
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
Orochimaru fixed his hair and glanced at the wall clock in the crypt: "What did they send you to do this time? What big move are they going to make? Do they need to sacrifice my life to attract attention?
"I'm not just saying this for myself - as cautious as I am, I have been able to avoid that idiot Jiraiya many times over the years, but I have been caught repeatedly by a brat who is not even a ninja - there are many such things
Once it happens, it will become a flaw in itself.
"Honestly, I think he should have suspected it."
The truth of the matter is not much different from what Kabuto Yakushi estimated based on limited information.
Orochimaru is indeed a cover used by the Akatsuki organization to attract Uchiha Giyu and divert attention.
Whenever the Akatsuki organization makes any big move and Giyuu Uchiha happens to be nearby, they will betray Orochimaru's location through the gold exchange so that Giyuu Uchiha cannot pay attention to their activities.
And every time Orochimaru is resurrected after being killed, it is indeed the human path of Pain's Six Paths that consolidates his wasted soul and spiritual power.
But what Kabuto Yakushi didn't guess was that Orochimaru didn't work for Pain, and the Akatsuki organization didn't work for Pain either.
Both of them are now Akatsuki's tools, not even official members.
"I'm not here to have fun this time."
Bai Jue stretched out his hand, revealing the simple ring in his palm, "You forgot about this thing after you moved to your hiding place last time. Bei Liuhu came to see you for something but couldn't contact you, so he asked me to send it to you."
When he mentioned the words "Beiruhu", Orochimaru wrinkled his nose as if smelling a foul smell, but he immediately restrained himself.
Hiruhu was a contemporary of the Konoha Sannin. Because he had no ninja talent, he stayed in Konoha as a researcher after graduation.
Although he was humble and in a low position, he made good use of this low sense of existence. He conducted human experiments privately in Konoha and developed a forbidden technique called "Ki Meira no Jutsu", which can seize the blood inheritance limit of others.
After the incident, he used a trap to escape the pursuit of the Sannin, and has since become a traitor and has disappeared.
It was more than two years ago that Orochimaru met the other party again.
To be honest, Beiruhu can be regarded as his savior - after being eliminated by Uchiha Giyu for the first time, it was Beiruhu who released him from Mitarashi Anko's Heavenly Curse Seal.
However, this old classmate who was once mediocre seemed to look down on him, and at the same time he was worried that Orochimaru would affect his status in the Akatsuki organization——
After taking away Orochimaru's hard-fought technique of reincarnation, Beiruhu teamed up with the Red Sand Scorpion to kick Orochimaru out of the Akatsuki organization's laboratory.
Since then, Orochimaru has entered a cycle of "killed-resurrected-killed", living in a nightmare all the time.
"..."
Orochimaru thought for a while, then took the ring and input chakra. Within about five seconds, a colorful black short shadow appeared in front of him.
It was Beilihu who used the Magic Lantern Body Technique relying on Pain's Samsara Eye.
"Orochimaru." Beiruhu said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you look like you are going crazy. The dark circles under your eyes may be a symptom of brain damage."
"It's not all thanks to you."
Orochimaru responded with a sneer: "Thanks to you, I haven't had time to study those forbidden arts recently. If you are thinking about these things, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
"Be it Ninjutsu or Forbidden Jutsu, compared with our current research, they are all outdated."
Although Beiruhu is short in stature, his arrogance can be felt even from Orochimaru thousands of miles away, "Do you still remember the shark that Kisame Kisame gave us before you left?"
"How could I forget a creature that requires the power of the Samsara Eye to subdue."
Orochimaru frowned, "I remember that later we discovered that the shark could live independently even if its heart was taken out.
"We tried to infuse the blood produced by it into the bodies of other animals, but the result was nothing more than creating a group of cannibalistic monsters."
If the blood produced by the heart is fed to humans, humans will choose to eat humans; if fed to rabbits, rabbits will also eat rabbits; if fed to tigers, tigers will also give priority to eating tigers.
Although the blood produced by the heart can mutate the bodies of the subject organisms and provide them with a large amount of natural energy, it also seems to deprive them of their intelligence.
Orochimaru judged that the uncontrollable shark heart was more serious than the curse seal, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. What's more, he was kicked out of the Akatsuki organization not long after.
"That is a thing of the past. I used the art of Oni Yaluo to transform the heart, and it is now under my control."
Biluhu smiled proudly, "Through it, I can directly convey orders to animals affected by the blood, and sometimes I can even see what they see. I released a batch of experimental products in the ocean, and manipulated
While they were dealing with the Mist Ninja, the information collected in less than two months was actually more than what those white retarded people collected in a year..."
"Hey!" Bai Jue, who was lying on the gun, raised his fist in protest, but no one cared about his feelings.
"What about humans?"
"Ordinary humans injected directly into the blood will go crazy due to the influx of large amounts of natural energy, just like your pet named Zhongwu."
Beilihu shared his research results: "But if ordinary people ingest diluted blood every time, the concentration of which is no more than one thousandth of a drop of blood, then this blood will subtly change their bodies. The Country of Waves
A group of fishermen have been catching and eating the experimental products for more than half a year, and their physical strength is no less than that of ordinary wandering ninjas or samurai.
"Although a few fishermen developed the urge to eat people, there was no such mutation that turned them into monsters."
"..." Orochimaru was silent for a while and asked: "Can you control them like animals?"
"cannot."
Orochimaru chuckled when he heard the answer: "The cycle is long and the results are slow. I don't think your research is meaningful."
"You are wrong." Beilihu knew Orochimaru would say this:
"Although I cannot control them consciously, I have successfully used dreams and other things to give them hints on a subconscious level.
"When the blood gradually accumulated in their bodies exceeds the critical point, it is not impossible to directly transmit orders."
"Since you are so optimistic," Orochimaru asked pretending to be puzzled, "then why are you looking for me? If you are just showing off, it would be inconsistent with your status..."
"of course not."
Beilihu said seriously: "Ingesting undiluted blood will cause ordinary people to lose their minds directly, so we can only use a step-by-step approach: but for ninjas with chakra, there should be another time."
It’s over, there’s no need to go to such trouble.”
"Let me guess..." Orochimaru showed a sinister smile, "But when you gave the ninja blood transfusions, he was unable to grasp the balance of the large influx of natural energy and chakra, and all of them turned into stone statues.
Inorganic matter, right?”
"It's even worse." Bei Liuhu shook his head and sighed, "They melted directly into a pile of mud."
"So, you need technology that can balance natural energy and chakra."
Orochimaru grinned, revealing his gleaming teeth, "At this time, you have thought of the curse seal, and you need me, an excluded person, again?"
The so-called curse seal is a simplified sage mode - it not only helps the owner absorb natural energy, but also automatically balances the relationship between chakra and natural energy.
Although its growth rate is not as exaggerated as that of the immortal model, and its side effects are also very strong, it is better in that it can be mass-produced and quickly produced.
"Wouldn't that be a good thing for you?"
Beiruhu never thought that Orochimaru would refuse, "Firstly, you are of use to the Akatsuki organization, so you no longer have to act as a bait; secondly, you helped me complete this experiment. After the members of the Akatsuki organization accepted the transformation, they
will be stronger.
"At that time, except for the leader, everyone else will also have the confidence to deal with Uchiha Giyu...
"Don't you want to avenge your shame? Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru nodded in approval: "This result is indeed what I want."
Kexiao Organization is now also the target of his revenge.
Uchiha Giyuu was the one who stabbed him, but they were the ones who pushed him towards the knife.
"Since you agreed, I will report to the leader. I will send someone to bring you back when we approach the land. During this time, you should hide well."
After achieving his goal, Beiliuhu immediately ended the communication.
"It seems you are free." Bai Zetsu seemed to be happy for Orochimaru, but he also sounded a sense of loss that he had no fun to watch.
"There is still a big gap between being temporarily needed and being irreplaceable." Orochimaru was noncommittal about Bai Zetsu's optimism.
He already had other plans.
He looked around and asked, "You haven't gone out to arrest anyone recently, have you?"
"I've calculated that it's not the time for you to die recently, so I didn't act rashly." In other words, "Since no one is missing, this place is very safe. He never expected you to be here."
Bai Zeze looked above his head, "After all, this is in the "body" of his ancestor Uchiha Madara."
"So much the better."
Orochimaru closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, but in the peaceful darkness, the scene of meteorites falling from the sky in his dream suddenly appeared again.
Orochimaru opened his eyes again with a serious look on his face and looked at the surrounding stone walls uneasily. He always felt that an earthquake would destroy the place at any time and expose him to the broad daylight.
However, outside the statue of Uchiha Madara where he hides, there is the moonlight in the Valley of the End.
Less than a kilometer away, a group of men dressed as warriors were marching through the dark forest carrying a tied-up hunter.
"Sir, this is already the sixth time this month. If we continue to arrest him like this, won't we attract the attention of the Konoha ninjas?"
"That's right, it's time to move to a farther place." The leading warrior wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"However, the young master's illness is really strange. He actually insists on eating..." The follower carrying the hunter paused, "Eating something like this can restore your sanity."
"Stop talking nonsense." The leader ordered sternly: "Hurry up, we must rush back before dawn, and we must not be seen!"
"yes!"
that's all.
A big pot...
Suddenly it was pinned on Orochimaru's head.
At the same time, in the Kingdom of Snow, the Royal Palace.
The current daimyo of Snow Country, Feng Hua Furuo, was knocked unconscious with his hands cut off and thrown aside. After wiping his saber, Uchiha Giyuu took out a rolled map and pen from his belt and marked the location of Snow Country.
×.
[It was said that he was missing, but it turned out that he was arresting people to build the railway. It had nothing to do with human experiments.]
On the map, those small and remote countries are marked with x's, and the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind also have sporadic marks.
In the end, only the clean Fire Nation was left, which looked more and more suspicious...
I wrote this at the airport. The flight was canceled immediately due to bad weather. I just wrote a little bit after sitting there for twenty hours.
