"Hermes and the Wolf..."
In the Hokage's office, Orochimaru thought about the information Kai had sent before, and then frowned.
He and Jiraiya had the same hunch, that this incident might really involve these two people.
"But Hermes... I seem to have seen this name in mixed-race cultures..."
he was thinking
It's a pity that Angers went back to the Nibelungs after returning to Konoha. After all, he had experienced such a big thing and he didn't worry about the Secret Party, so he didn't know when he would come back.
Otherwise, you can ask him directly...
Orochimaru rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and the spiritual platform became clear. At this moment, he remembered where he had seen this name!
"Alchemy" and "Jade Record", the former is an introduction to the alchemy of the two major power systems of dragons and hybrids, and the latter is the practice philosophy of hybrids.
And in these two books, there is a person's name recorded, it is Hermes!
Not only is he the origin of alchemy, he is also a legendary god!
However, these two books are not serious popular science books after all, and the introduction is only to this extent, so no matter how much information he has, he doesn't understand much.
But one thing is enough...
Hermes is a god!
According to Itachi and the First Generation, the members of Gremlin are a group of dangerous people named after gods!
So, could Hermes be a member of Gremlin? !
"If Hermes is from Gremlin, then who will he be hunting for?"
At this moment, Orochimaru had many more questions, but it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. With an extreme lack of information, Orochimaru had no choice but to do anything.
With a headache, he took out another piece of information sent by Itachi -
"Are you in the Akatsuki organization..."
Looking at the contents of the letter, Orochimaru fell into deep thought.
This letter records that Nagato ordered them to write down the map of the ninja world and issued a mission for them to investigate the stone ghost face.
Moreover, Nagato asked them to search for clues about the stone ghost mask, but he did not say that a map was involved, so the information Itachi sent back was only the most basic.
However, Orochimaru, who already knew the secret of the stone ghost face, could easily figure out that the clues to the other half of the map were in Nagato's hands.
"Do you want to use force?"
Orochimaru thought for a moment, then dismissed the idea.
With Itachi as an undercover agent and his main attack on the surface, it may not be impossible to kill Nagato.
But Orochimaru was very worried about Nagato going back to create the Samsara Eye again, and then using Madara's power.
In that state, Madara can still exert the power of the Six Paths level. In today's ninja world, except for the first generation Hokage, it can be said that no one can beat him.
And for Itachi to see the map and send it over... This is probably impossible.
Nagato is not a fool. Itachi has just joined the organization. He cannot be so relieved. The secrets involved in the stone ghost face are very likely to be of great value. If he were Nagato, he would never let such a thing go. More people know.
Because of the Yahiko incident, Nagato had no good impression of Konoha, and even had a bit of resentment. It was also very difficult for him to cooperate with Konoha.
"... Hmm... However, we can let the First Hokage do this..."
However, with the style of the first Hokage, he would never steal Nagato's stone ghost face, not to mention that Nagato also has an inexplicable relationship with Uchiha Madara.
But sharing this complete map with Nagato should not be a big problem. No matter how much Nagato hates Konoha, the strength of the first Hokage is there and he cannot resist.
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked to a wall.
Orochimaru put one hand against the wall, and the next moment a gap appeared on the wall, and under the gap was a staircase leading underground.
The stairs were bottomless, as if leading to the end of the earth, the depths of hell.
This is the laboratory he specially prepared for Beilihu, where their latest research is conducted.
In the underground room, there are experimental equipment everywhere, and in each capsule-like device, there are countless 'Uchiha Sasuke' who look exactly the same.
They were immersed in nutrient solution, eyes closed tightly, all maintaining the same posture, and even the breathing rate was the same.
"How's the experiment going?"
At the end, Bei Liuhu sat on the seat, staring at the various data displayed on the instrument, frowning from time to time.
After watching for a long time, Orochimaru asked.
Bei Liuhu leaned on the chair and turned around, picked up the water glass beside him, took a sip of hot water and said
"Although they are all theoretically the same person, and they are placed in exactly the same environment as much as possible, it is still difficult to integrate their pupil powers."
He picked up a pile of paper on the table, flipped through two pages, handed it to Orochimaru, and said
"According to the records left by K, when the spirit and brain waves are at the same frequency, it is possible to combine the power of each other, but it is a pity that we have not found this opportunity after so long."
"Opportunity..."
Orochimaru recited these two words and suddenly said
"What if we really lack this 'opportunity'?"
He raised his voice and said, "Yes, that's right. We are too obsessed with making all the clones have the pupil power fused with Uchiha Sasuke's original body, because no matter how identical they are, there will still be 100% difference between each individual. A difference of zero point zero zero zero zero one!"
"But what if we create clones from the beginning at the expense of carrying pupil power?!"
"What do you mean?" Beilihu seemed to have grasped something at this moment. Faintly, he felt that Orochimaru had found the right direction!
"Yes, that's it..." Orochimaru, who was thinking, confirmed his idea. He walked to the instrument, quickly extracted some data, and said at the same time
"Since the innate ones are not enough, then we will use the innate ones to clone them for the purpose of carrying the pupil power. That is to create a command tower for all the clones of the General Directorate. He will control all the clones and bear the responsibility of the pupil power collective. As long as you can focus on the task, the subsequent problems will be solved sooner or later."
"What a great idea!" Bei Liu was surprised, and then said
"In this way, he will be the commander among all clones... But if it is really successful, what will the pupil power aggregate be called?"
Hearing this question, Orochimaru thought for a moment, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind. An idea appeared. He licked his lips and named
"The Uchiha Network... is called the Uchiha Network!"
… … …
"Is the Western Continent further ahead?"
After walking westward in the Land of Earth and experiencing a vast no-man's land, Jiraiya and Kai discovered a huge lake in front of a mountain range.
Jiraiya still couldn't figure out the terrain nearby, but judging from the size of the lake, it might be connected to the vast ocean.
On the coast, there is a small port city standing in it, and there are several small boats docked at the port.
"The edge of the Western Continent should be ahead. I just don't know if our needs are connected to each other."
Kai was worried about the language problem. Although the ninja world suffered many attacks from enemies outside the ninja world, there were still few language barriers.
Demons, hybrids, Hollows and other creatures all have their own race's language, but their learning abilities are very powerful. Learning the lingua franca of the ninja world is only a very simple matter.
But this is not necessarily the case for the current Western Continent. After all, they are all human beings like them, and they have been separated from the Ninja World Continent for who knows how long. It is not surprising that they do not understand the language...
"It shouldn't be a big problem..."
Jiraiya wasn't too worried about this, after all, a living person couldn't hold in his urine to death.
"But why did a small port town suddenly appear here?"
This is what makes Jiraiya curious. You must know that under Dio's power of making heaven, everything was destroyed, and only a piece of dust was left in the originally prosperous Konoha Village.
However, there is such a city here, which makes Jiraiya wonder, who built such a city here
With such curiosity, Jiraiya and Kai approached and found that this port city was not ordinary, it was even larger than many normal inland cities!
On the wall of the city gate, three majestic words with an unknown magical power are engraved...
—
Utopia!
Jiraiya and Kai looked at each other and walked to the gate of the city.
The city gate guards were two men with short black hair and armed with guns. When they saw a stranger approaching, they quickly raised their guns and shouted:
"Who are you? Why do you come to Utopia?"
It’s the lingua franca of the ninja world! It seems that the language problem is easily solved!
Jiraiya said happily, "We are people from the Eastern Continent in the past. Because of the merger of the two continents, we came here to see the scene of the Western Continent."
"I see... you go in."
When the gun-wielding guards heard this, they immediately relaxed their tense muscles in a fighting state, and one of them smiled cheerfully.
"We haven't seen outsiders come to Utopia for a long time."
"Um... Is that okay..."
Jiraiya smiled and signaled to the two guards. After entering the city, he suddenly complained to Kai, "I thought it would at least seal our chakra."
"Yeah... But I didn't expect that he would actually give up on us and come in..."
Kai also looked incredible
These two guards are really lax, which is almost impossible in any ninja village.
If the guards of Konoha were like this, then Konoha would have been captured countless times!
"However, this could also be a custom in the Western Continent?"
Jiraiya was surprised, but in all things one must do as the locals do. Maybe people in the Western Continent are all that simple!
You can't judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, right
Or maybe the people in the ninja world are too dirty and there are intrigues everywhere
No matter how you think about it, Jiraiya and Kai at least entered this city...
Such a…
Utopia…
