The cold and dark underground space has twists and turns, and different areas are stacked one on top of another.
Finding something in this underground maze is by no means an easy task.
But Uchiha Chen seemed to have a clear route, walking through a series of winding passages and dead ends, heading towards the set goal.
"Ta, ta, ta~"
Footsteps echoed in the corridor one after another. When he walked in front of a certain door, Chen paused for a moment, and then he reached out and pushed the door open.
The lights in the room behind the door were very dim, and it was difficult to tell what was going on at first glance, but the man in a kimono and a white coat must be Uncle Snake.
Orochimaru seemed not to notice the person coming behind him, and was still busy with his work. After the work came to an end, he turned back and glanced at the arriving person.
"Come back." Orochimaru's tone was casual, just like a relative leaving in the morning and returning at night.
"Yeah." Chen Ye replied casually, "Why did the laboratory change its location?"
"The previous one is still there, but it's too private and not suitable for storing important information."
"Yeah." Chen nodded.
The confidentiality of this laboratory is indeed better. Even if ordinary people get in, they will easily lose their way.
only…
He took a look at his surroundings. There were rows of huge containers containing corpses soaked in formalin.
No wonder Orochimaru needed secrecy...because he was already involved in human research.
And this is undoubtedly prohibited, no matter which village it is in.
"Can you help me get your scalpel over there? It's right next to you."
"which one?"
"No. 2 Extended."
Chen grabbed a pair of gloves from the shelf, then walked to the table, took out one of the scalpels from the row, and handed it to Orochimaru's hand.
After Orochimaru took it, he leaned down again and dissected the corpse on the operating table.
Chen had also seen that focused look on other people before.
For example: Jiraiya when peeping, Tsunade when drawing cards.
So from a certain point of view, the three ninjas are all the same type of people, but the fields they are involved in are different.
Chen put on a mask and came closer. The corpse had been dismembered in various ways, but it could be seen from the white hair and jagged teeth that it was a ninja from the Ghost Lantern clan.
"Duanzo really spent a lot of money."
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "How did you know it was from him?"
"The Kirigakure Village has been closed for the past two years. It is difficult to capture the ninjas of the Oniden clan. I will not let them go to ANBU, so only the root can do it."
Orochimaru nodded: "It is indeed him. I thought the water transformation technique was quite interesting, so I asked him to make one for me."
"I think it's more than that. In fact, Danzo still doesn't give up on the information about Kirigakure Village. He kills two birds with one stone, but the loss will definitely be huge."
Orochimaru smiled and said: "Whether the loss is big or not has nothing to do with us. Anyway, it was his subordinates who died."
"But he is nominally doing it for you, teacher, so he should make a request, right?"
Orochimaru nodded slightly: "He invited me to join the root."
"Teacher agreed?"
"No, I refused."
Orochimaru's tone was calm, and his expression could not be seen clearly even with the mask on, but Chen knew that his teacher was actually moved.
Uncle Snake now is no longer the young man who was dedicated to Konoha two years ago. Immersed in forbidden arts and human body research, he became increasingly impatient with trivial matters in the village.
This can be seen from the daily correspondence between the two.
What Orochimaru wants is a fertile soil of freedom, an unfettered research environment, and a life without interruption.
His ultimate goal is to learn all ninjutsu and explore all the truths in the world.
Can the Third Hokage understand, allow, and support this idea that transcends the cognition of the ninja world
the answer is negative.
But Danzo can.
Regardless of whether there is an exploitative relationship between the two, Danzo's support is real.
Orochimaru just said casually, and Danzo would send a corpse of the Oniden clan.
Even if he suffers heavy losses.
And the price is just to invite Orochimaru to join the root.
Even if Orochimaru is a "goddess", his heart will be slightly moved by this kind of extreme dog licking.
Of course, that's all.
Because joining the root would mean a complete break with the Third Hokage.
But now Orochimaru's demand for the human body is not that great. He still takes into account the teacher-student relationship with the Third Hokage...
Therefore, even if Danzo frequently frowns at him, he will not immediately fall into the arms of the spare tire.
The reason why the spare tire is a spare tire is because of its fungibility, but if the spare tire is successfully installed, it will have the initiative.
What Chen has to do is to cut off this sign, because he doesn't want Orochimaru to embark on a path of no return.
First of all, there is no need to mention the friendship between the two of them. Secondly, Konoha really needs Orochimaru's black skills.
Even when Naruto came to power, Orochimaru was officially cleared and his research became legal.
py transactions between the two are also simple.
Konoha granted Orochimaru political asylum, and Orochimaru in turn exported technology to Konoha.
But if that's the case, why should we have a falling out in the first place
Chen wants to attract Orochimaru back from Danzo, and to do this, he must bring out something of sufficient weight.
So, with a flick of his fingers, a small glass bottle drew a beautiful arc.
"Teacher, I have something to give you."
"Oh, what?"
After Orochimaru caught it, he stared at the two eyeballs in the salt water, feeling stunned for a while.
"Is this the Sharingan?"
He was a little unsure because it was different from the three magatama he usually saw.
"This is the Mangekyo Sharingan, evolved from the ordinary three magatama."
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes glowed with a strange light. He had always thought that the Three Magatama Sharingan had reached its peak, but now it seemed that was not the case.
He has always been strange. In the world's perception, Uchiha Madara and the first Hokage are regarded as gods.
He also went to the Valley of the End to see the permanent destruction of the terrain, which was simply not something that ordinary ninjutsu could accomplish.
However, none of the existing Uchiha and Senju clans have demonstrated this potential.
Now that he saw the so-called Mangekyo Sharingan, Orochimaru understood that what he knew was still superficial.
Looking at Uncle Snake's excited eyes, Chen knew that his interest was completely piqued.
It's like a teenager who watches pictures every day and suddenly comes into contact with non-toxic movies. How can he not become aroused
Itachi was supposed to be the one who aroused the interest in the Sharingan, but Chen now plays this role.
Of course he had a deeper purpose in doing so.
The system can only enhance his talent and give him the possibility to learn any ninjutsu, but it cannot allow him to open the Samsara Eye.
But Orochimaru has this possibility.
In the ninja world, some people believe in blood, some believe in spirit, some believe in body, some believe in eyes, some believe in oral escape, and some believe in acquired hard work.
But only Orochimaru believed in science.
Chen hopes that Orochimaru can use in-depth genetic research to allow him to develop the power that he should have originally, but is silent in the blood of ninjas.
That is... Otsutsuki's power.
