Chapter 423: Pushing the boat along the river, fishing in troubled waters
"That is to say, in fact, you are the only 'pursuer'. As long as I kill you, no one will know where I am, right?"
Orochimaru, who was reincarnated and took on a female role, looked at Qingyu with cold eyes and said.
"You can try."
Aoba's 'scarlet' eyes looked directly at Orochimaru through the mask without fear, and the strong smell of blood and murderous intent gradually spread to the surroundings. The special effects of the skin of [Crimson Swordsman] are really intimidating.
Affected by this 'murderous aura' and 'bloody smell', Kimimaro, who had been staying outside, immediately rushed in, looked at him solemnly, and was ready to take action at any time.
But at this moment, Orochimaru suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a joke, step back, Kimimaro."
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
When only the two of them were left again, Orochimaru said: "Did you deliberately ask me to test the leader's strength that time before?"
"Testing? You overestimate yourself. I just want you to know how ridiculous your plan is and whether you are still worth recruiting."
The smile on Orochimaru's face disappeared immediately, and then he recalled the powerlessness he felt when he was besieged by Pain's Six Paths.
But he couldn't agree with Yasuo's contempt for him.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Give you a chance. Fighting and killing are not suitable for you. Your talents are more suitable for studying some interesting things, such as... the eye of reincarnation."
Orochimaru suddenly became interested, "Are you ready to take action?"
Qingyu shook his head, "It's not time yet."
Orochimaru's expression changed as quickly as flipping through a book, "Then come to me after you get the Rinnegan."
Qingyu smiled, "No need, because I already know the secret of the Samsara Eye. If you want, why not 'make' a pair of Samsara Eyes yourself?"
Orochimaru instantly raised his eyes, as if his poisonous tongue had found the most delicious prey.
"How can I believe that what you say is true?"
"You don't need to believe me, but time will prove everything. The pair of reincarnation eyes you are staring at are just stored in 'Penn', and sooner or later they will be taken away by its real owner."
This secret shocked Orochimaru!
At the same time, he also began to believe what Yasuo said.
Otherwise, this story would be too outrageous...
"I am suddenly interested in your proposal, but until your promise is fulfilled, I can only accept cooperation."
Qingyu secretly sighed, Orochimaru was really not easy to fool, if it had been an ordinary person, he would have been stunned by the information he released.
But there's no rush.
"As for cooperation...that's fine, that's as you wish."
Orochimaru smiled sweetly, seemingly satisfied with the result.
After all, he was not sure about keeping Yasuo, and if he failed, he might die because of it. Even if he escaped, all the hard work he had done to stay here would be in vain, and he would also face the full pursuit of the Akatsuki organization.
Furthermore, he is very interested in Yasuo's proposal. If the Samsara Eye can really be produced in batches, then all the efforts will be worth it.
He can also take another step forward on the road to eternal life.
At that time, whether he continues to cooperate will depend on his mood, or whether Yasuo can still come up with something that makes him excited.
So from the current point of view, he does not suffer a loss, but can actually benefit from it.
Even if Yasuo was lying to him, he would have gained more time to perfect his scientific research and plans, so it would not be a loss at all.
So Orochimaru also showed his sincerity and shared his information with Yasuo.
Let Qingyu know the details of what happened.
It's nothing to say, it's just that after Orochimaru sent people to the Land of Rain to investigate, he felt that he could only rely on himself if he wanted to investigate further.
So he quietly ran to the Country of Rain. At this time, he was not ready to take action.
However, those familiar with Payne's Rain Tiger Freedom Technique had already discovered him and dug a hole, leading him into the trap step by step.
When Orochimaru realized something was wrong, he was already surrounded by Pain Six Paths and Konan.
Orochimaru, who refused to be captured, was 'killed' on the spot even though he discovered many secrets after a helpless fierce battle.
Aoyu could tell that Orochimaru had hidden a lot of things, but the information he told was somewhat sincere, even though Aoyu already knew it.
And Qingyu also knew that if he didn't come up with something real, he might cause some trouble.
So he said: "The evolutionary basis of the Rinnegan is the Sharingan, but it is not an ordinary Sharingan."
This sentence that seemed to contain a lot of hints immediately made Orochimaru's eyes shine, and he began to analyze the hidden information contained in this sentence.
The basis of evolution is the Sharingan, which means that other conditions are likely to be needed.
But what does the unusual Sharingan mean?
Orochimaru was confused for a moment...
That’s right if you can’t figure it out!
If Orochimaru figured it out now, then why use him?
Qingyu is very calm.
He asked Orochimaru to cooperate not only because of his scientific research level, but also to prepare for Itachi's future.
What is the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?
Want, want the best!
With Itachi's talent and strength, if paired with a pair of samsara eyes, the picture would be really beautiful.
Why do you need two pillars? He and Itachi might just blow up Kaguya!
In addition, Qingyu continued to set traps for Orochimaru.
Now that Orochimaru knows that the Rinnegan evolved from the Sharingan, what will he do?
I will definitely try my best to obtain the Sharingan for research.
However, the Uchiha clan in this life, instead of being slaughtered due to the clever manipulations of Aoba and Itachi, actually rose up in Konoha!
It is very difficult for Orochimaru to get a pair of Sharingan, and it is obvious that one pair of Sharingan is not enough for him to study.
So in this case, is it possible that the Konoha Collapse Plan was born in advance?
Qingyu was very curious, and planned to tell Itachi when he returned, saying that someone was eyeing their Sharingan, and asked everyone in the Uchiha clan to be careful and not give Orochimaru a chance.
Presumably, this situation of knowing the specific research direction but having no experimental materials would make Orochimaru extremely uncomfortable!
cooperate?
It’s nothing more than mutual use!
At this time, Orochimaru naturally did not know that Qingyu had begun to plot against him, and instead invited Qingyu to stay as a guest.
Qingyu estimated that this guy must be trying to get more things out of him.
But it didn't matter, the more Orochimaru ate the bait he dropped, the more he couldn't extricate himself.
Then he can go with the flow and fish in troubled waters!
