When Hiei told Shin about Orochimaru's reasoning at the subsequent meeting, the latter just nodded noncommittally.
Facing everyone's doubts, Shen just said seriously, "I went back to Jinglingting with Suzuki before, but I went to Wujian where the vampire beast is imprisoned. As expected, he disappeared."
His words made everyone present change their expressions, because they knew that the meaning of Shin's words meant that the assassin who killed Aizen must be related to the Shichibukai!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the blood-sucking monsters imprisoned in the Shichibukai Base Prison to be released!
"Although I don't want to do this..." Shen frowned and looked at Hiei and Suzuki, and said in a deep voice, "You two must stay in Konoha from now on, and you can't go anywhere."
His words almost raised the suspicion, but in fact they were the only two people who could do this.
"I understand." Feiying leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed. After Shen finished speaking, he immediately said, "Although I don't think either Suzuki or I will be a traitor, there are many mysterious magics in the demons that can be used unconsciously. If one of us is manipulated, it will indeed be a hidden danger."
"That's it." Suzuki also nodded, "I don't have any objection either."
"Don't worry, I didn't mean to imprison you." Shen pondered for a moment, and then said, "I will also find a way to contact those two guys again to see if I can learn the true identity of the Uzumaki Mask man from them. .”
"It's strange." Now that the masked man was mentioned, Tsunade, who had fought with him personally, naturally had something to say. "The Uzumaki masked man called himself Madara Uchiha, the legendary ninja who had fought against his grandfather, but before, We have all seen the strength of the first Hokage with our own eyes, and that is the power to fight against the Holy Lord."
"You mean..." Jiraiya touched his chin and continued, "That guy is too weak?"
"That's right." Tsunade said decisively, "Compared to most people, that guy can be said to be overly strong, and his magical space-time ninjutsu is even more difficult to guard against. But compared to grandpa, That’s obviously not enough.”
"According to legend, Uchiha Madara, who can compete with the first generation Hokage, or even be on par, will be helpless in the counterattack siege we organized before?" Tsunade waved her hand, "So that guy is definitely not Madara."
"It doesn't matter. None of us believe he is Uchiha Madara anyway." Orochimaru said calmly, "You should have asked the first generation what kind of person Uchiha Madara is."
"Grandpa's resurrection was too short. After fighting the Holy Lord, he spent most of his time rebuilding Konoha. I didn't have time to communicate with him too much, so it was time for him to return to the underworld." Tsunade sighed. "And I couldn't have imagined that at the time."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's Uchiha Madara or not. Anyway, everything will be clear when we find him." Jiraiya said, "Let's do it. I'll go for a walk after that to see if I can find some masked people." clues."
"You?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya suspiciously, "You don't care about that child of yours?"
He was talking about Joseph Joestar, adopted by Jiraiya and a clone created by Kaz, who was just one year old at the moment.
"Leave it to Shisui for now." Jiraiya touched his head, "That guy seems to be good at taking care of children."
"That's good, and on your way to find the masked man, you can inquire about an organization." Orochimaru nodded and agreed to Jiraiya's request to go out. He looked at Jiraiya, thought for a while and then said, "On the way there, I wanted to inquire about an organization called Akatsuki."
"Akatsuki?" Jiraiya frowned, then suddenly raised his head, "Oh, I know, it's the organization that appeared in Lietuo Kingdom to stop the Holy Lord."
When Piccolo came back to play with the Five Shadows, Pain's Six Paths tried to seal the Holy Lord, but with Piccolo's power, Pain's Six Paths were easily defeated.
This was the intelligence they got, and they also investigated this organization after the fact. The source seemed to be in the Kingdom of Rain, and the large number of troops invested by the demons in the Kingdom of Rain also confirmed this.
Jiraiya was still very impressed with the Land of Rain. After all, the three of them had obtained the title of Sannin from the hands of Hanzo, the ninja leader of the Land of Rain. Men, Yahiko, and Xiaonan serve as disciples.
Unexpectedly, the current Akatsuki organization also came from the Kingdom of Rain, which is really unimaginable.
"Yes, the information submitted not long ago said that there was a violent explosion in the south of Konoha. According to calculations, the time of the explosion was when the Holy Master flew from the world's best martial arts tournament to Konoha."
"Are you suspicious?" Shen frowned, "Are you saying that Xiao may be related to those two mysterious people in golden masks?"
"That's right!" Orochimaru said decisively, "Our previous plan to kill the Holy Lord came from them, and they resurrected the first Hokage, so this explosion in the middle may also have been designed by them, specifically to weaken the Holy Lord. The power of the Lord.”
"So I suspect that they may have some kind of connection with Akatsuki. It may be the same relationship as ours, or it may be closer. In short, it can be regarded as a path."
"But according to the battle situation in the Land of Rain, Akatsuki may have left." Jiraiya seemed to have thought of something, and said, "The demon clan guys seemed to have easily defeated Yugakure, and they didn't suffer anything on the way. The resistance has neither Akatsuki nor Sanshouyu Hanzo, it’s really weird.”
Did he run away
At this time, Jiraiya couldn't help but think of the three little devils. Although they were not strong yet, they would never retreat in front of the demons. This courage came from their innermost belief that they wanted to change that country. ,
It's a pity... They seemed to have all died before that...
It had been almost a year since he heard the bad news about Nagato and the others. He never expected that such a thing would happen a year later.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart. If he hadn't left them so early, would the ending be different now
After all, that child has the eye of reincarnation...
Samsara Eye, Son of Destiny...
etc!
Samsara Eye? !
Jiraiya quickly recalled in his mind the leader of the Akatsuki organization described by his teacher, the Third Hokage, and then overlapped him with Yahiko in his memory. The two faces slowly overlapped, and in the end... there was no mistake!
At this moment, a bolt from the blue flashed through his mind, and the earth seemed to shake. Jiraiya was stunned for a moment!
Why, why did I just think of it now? !
When the Third Hokage first heard that the leader of the Akatsuki organization had the Reincarnation Eye, he imagined that that person was Nagato, but when he heard that there were six people in total, and none of them had red hair, he selectively ignored it.
After all, he had already received news of Nagato's death at that time!
But how is it possible
Surprisingly...it really will be them!
Moreover, how did Yahiko possess the Samsara Eye? !
Nagato and Konan... so what
For a moment, his mind was in turmoil. It took him a long time to react, and then he opened his mouth, but did not speak for a moment...
"What's wrong with you? Alzheimer's? Did you stop suddenly?" Orochimaru couldn't stand it anymore and asked with a frown.
"No, it's nothing..." After thinking about it, Jiraiya still didn't tell his speculation. After all, it was really amazing, but he had slowly begun to accept the answer in his heart.
"That's up to you, as long as you don't die outside and lose my people."
Taking a deep look at Jiraiya, Orochimaru chuckled, "If nothing happens, let us start after one of us has the information."
As an old partner for so many years, Orochimaru understood that Jiraiya must be thinking of something, but he must have his own reasons even if he didn't say it, so there was no need for him to continue asking further.
Although he and Jiraiya always quarrel and dislike each other, at really critical moments, they will never hold each other back.
… … … … … … …
Orochimaru walked out of the Hokage Building and slowly walked into his research institute.
After becoming the nominal acting Hokage, many of his past experiments that he dared not expose to the public finally no longer have to be subject to too many constraints. Although they are still not visible to the public, at least they can mobilize some resources to improve them.
What interests him most now is the dragon cell transplant experiment.
"Dragon cells are very active, similar to the cell characteristics of the first generation Hokage. If they are not controlled well, they will eat up their own cells."
On the way, Orochimaru recalled every bit of the dragon cells.
The more he studied, the more he found that he was opening a brand new door. Inside the door was a world of wealth, a power system completely different from that of ninjas, and a new type of power accumulation.
Menike's previous battle with the vampire beast completely proved that this power also has a very high upper limit. This is just a hybrid, let alone the legendary Dragon King and Black King.
In contrast, he had a bolder idea.
It’s just that whether this idea is successful or not depends on whether today’s foundation can be successfully built.
"Teacher, you are back."
When I opened the door to the laboratory, I saw Anko getting up from her seat and running over.
Orochimaru touched Anko's head with one hand and said with a smile, "The next step is the most important experiment. Are you scared, Anko-chan?"
"Don't be afraid!" Hongdou said with a puffed mouth, "I believe the teacher will succeed!"
Orochimaru didn't refute, he just turned on the instrument calmly, squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, I will definitely succeed."
"Lie down, Anko."
"oh."
Anko tiptoed to the instrument. She seemed a little scared at first, but she quickly gathered her courage and lay down on the cold instrument.
"Relax now." Orochimaru walked to the conveyor pipe, his face slightly nervous. Although this experiment has been done many times, there are many successful cases, and even many ninjas have succeeded, but they showed Orochimaru was not satisfied with the results.
In several experiments, Orochimaru discovered that one of the most important aspects of the erosion of dragon blood is the corruption of the spirit. If the person being injected cannot survive, his spirit will be swallowed up by the powerful dragon blood, and he will become insane. Clear monster.
That kind of monster seems to be called deadpool in the mouth of hybrids. They are ignorant and have no power but don't know how to use it. They are out-and-out failures.
That's why he made several improvements to see if he could reduce this side effect, mainly to reduce mental erosion.
After all, the spiritual aspect is too illusory. Compared with the physical realm, which is easier to control, no one can determine the spiritual world. Orochimaru cannot bet on himself to see if he can survive the mental erosion.
At this moment, Hongdou jumped out, which immediately made him discover his target.
If even Hongdou, as a child, can resist mental erosion, then it proves that his dragon gene potion is really mature!
It can be said that the potion that is about to be injected into Hong Dou's body is an almost perfect potion that he has developed with all his efforts. If the mental erosion is further weakened, the power of the dragon clan will probably be weakened to a very weak level. This is also unacceptable to him.
Thinking of this, he injected the medicine into the pipe, and many pinholes appeared on the instrument where Hong Dou was lying. The medicine entered Hong Dou's body along the needle holes, causing the eleven or twelve-year-old little Lolita to immediately Howling in pain!
She only felt a liquid that was as hot as lava and corrosive to the human body like deadly poison entering her body and flowing back and forth in her body along with the blood circulation. The extreme pain she had never felt in her life was inside her body. It was as if her body was bursting apart inch by inch. She felt her eyes were extremely hot, as if thousands of suns exploding in front of her eyes were stimulated by strong light, and her eyes could hardly see anything except white.
At the same time, waves of whispers like demons sounded in my ears. They were in a language that I couldn't understand at all. They seemed to be whispering, crying, or wailing and roaring. Such noises were everywhere in the complicated world, and These countless noises finally lingered in her mind, and along with the fire that seemed to be ignited, Hong Dou felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Orochimaru stared at the painful Anko, but even though the latter was in so much pain, he still had no intention of stopping the experiment. Anko was his disciple and his experimental subject, and no matter which of the two they belonged to Even his identity would not allow him to hold back.
"As my disciple, you should have the qualifications to survive."
Orochimaru said coldly
