Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I created three thousand demon realms.

Chapter 134 As expected of Orochimaru
"Just do as I said, and flatten it. What's the point of thinking so much?" Kaido said casually, looking at Tsunade.

"I understand, I have my own plans," Tsunade said with a sigh.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Think it over carefully. This is a grand feast, an opportunity, and a chance for the world to advance. You are qualified to step into a higher realm with me and others. Don't give up this opportunity because of your kindness," Ying Zheng said calmly.

But to Tsunade, it sounded like a thunderclap.

Did she really do something wrong? Tsunade looked at the others in the group.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand; who hasn't climbed to the top by stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

Whether it's Ying Zheng, Esdeath, Kaido, Zhu Yuanzhang, or even Saeko Busujima, every one of them has mountains of corpses and seas of blood beneath their feet.

Tap tap tap!

Esdeath tapped her fingers rhythmically on the conference table.

“Since Tsunade can’t gather enough people, let’s gather two hundred ninjas first. As for the rest, we’ll each send two hundred. We’ll gather them for a while and train them. According to that world, it should be similar to Isaacs’ world.”

“Even if there are errors, they won’t be significant. So at the very least, we need to understand the language system before we talk about anything else,” Esdeath said slowly.

Ying Zheng and the others nodded.

"Furthermore, according to the information provided by Your Excellency, the technology of that world is extremely advanced, which is also a good opportunity for us to increase our strength. In addition, there are also gods." Esdeath's eyes gleamed.

Ying Zheng's face remained calm, but a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes.

"Gods?" Kaido's eyes gleamed with fanaticism.

Saeko Busujima's eyes burned with desire. How much could she improve if she killed a god?

Everyone was filled with excitement, without a trace of fear.

“Let’s begin then. As for that world, we’ll read about it slowly. The multiverse isn’t just one universe. This time, we’ll have enough to keep us well-fed for a while,” Esdeath said slowly, a deep meaning in her eyes.

Ying Zheng and the others looked at each other.

Ultimately, they are allies, but also rivals.

They are all competing with each other.

Nobody wants to fall behind, right?
Comparatively speaking, Kaido and Tsunade are the ones who are suffering the most.

Even if Kaido wanted to plunder the world's origin, it wouldn't be of any use. He hasn't unified the world yet; he's just doing the work for others.

Tsunade said the same thing, and Tsunade didn't think she could plunder much either.

"That's settled then. I must go back and make my preparations," Ying Zheng said slowly, as a golden passage appeared behind him.

Ying Zheng then returned to the Qin world.

The others also left the world of Kill la Kill.

After returning to the Naruto world, Tsunade was somewhat unsettled.

Tsunade has absolutely no interest in the current Third Shinobi World War.

After witnessing the brutal wars of other worlds.

The Third Shinobi World War in Naruto was like a village brawl, or rather, it seemed to be a village-to-village brawl.

Such a war filled Tsunade with boundless boredom, and she had no interest in it whatsoever.

"Tsunade, what's wrong with you lately?" Jiraiya swaggered into Tsunade's tent, followed by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru hasn't defected yet, nor has he conducted any forbidden research. We're still in the middle of the Third Shinobi World War, and Orochimaru will only embark on the path of science later on.

Orochimaru also looked at Tsunade.

The three of them practically grew up together and know each other very well. They've all been watching Tsunade closely lately.

Tsunade looked at her companions, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, which finally turned into determination.

"If, and I mean if, you had the chance to help our world reach a higher level, what would you do?" Tsunade asked slowly.

"Hahaha, Tsunade, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jiraiya looked at Tsunade casually, thinking that she must be drunk.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade thoughtfully, but said nothing.

"What if what I'm saying is true?" Tsunade said in a deep voice.

Hearing the implication in Tsunade's words, which showed no sign of joking, Jiraiya's smile faded. Although Jiraiya was mostly unserious, he was undeniably reliable. "Seriously?" Jiraiya asked slowly, looking at Tsunade.

Tsunade nodded.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Tsunade said slowly, looking at Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru exchanged a glance.

Jiraiya remained silent, but Orochimaru spoke up instead, saying, "This should be considered a good thing. Although I don't understand what you mean by stepping into a higher world, it should be a good thing."

"But your current demeanor clearly suggests there's something else you're not saying, isn't it?"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru.

"As expected of Orochimaru, you'll be the one researching forbidden techniques in the future."

Tsunade spoke slowly, looking at Orochimaru, and with just a few simple words, she analyzed the problem she had encountered.

Orochimaru's pupils contracted as he looked at Tsunade. "Researching forbidden techniques in the future?"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru and Tsunade, realizing for the first time how his two childhood friends had become so unfamiliar.

"You must be joking. How could Orochimaru possibly research forbidden techniques, right, Orochimaru?" Jiraiya said with a smile, but his hands were already clenched into fists.

"That's not necessarily true. It seems you've learned a lot from Tsunade." Orochimaru neither denied nor admitted it, but it already implied something.

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru with a hint of bewilderment and unfamiliarity in his eyes.

Finally, looking at Tsunade, he also noticed the changes in her; her expression showed a hint of fatigue and hesitation.

"Can you tell me what forbidden techniques I will be researching in the future? And how did you know that?" Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with some curiosity.

"You researched the forbidden technique of immortality. No matter how you look at it, it's a forbidden technique. You started by targeting enemy ninjas, but eventually you set your sights on the ninjas in the village. In the end, you were discovered by the Third Hokage and defected."

"And you, Jiraiya, you will die someday, at the hands of your own apprentices, those three brats from the Land of Rain," Tsunade said in a deep voice.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru both fell silent.

"I know you might not believe what I'm saying, but I truly see the future, the future of the ninja world," Tsunade said slowly.

“I believe you,” Orochimaru said slowly.

"From the moment you said I would be researching the forbidden art of immortality, I believed you. In fact, I'm already starting to prepare for it," Orochimaru said slowly.

"You!!" Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru.

"Don't look at me like that, Jiraiya. You have your own path, and I am different from you," Orochimaru said slowly.

In Orochimaru's eyes, Jiraiya was just a hot-blooded, foolish, and idiotic man.

However, Orochimaru also cherished Jiraiya's friendship.

"Now you can tell me, what exactly do you mean by stepping into a higher world?" Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with curiosity, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Simply put, the world is not static. If our world is one, then some worlds are two, or even ten," Tsunade said in a deep voice.

"What is the meaning of the difference between these worlds, or are there any differences?" Orochimaru asked Tsunade.

"The difference between worlds is most simply reflected in the ceiling of the world. In some worlds, beings can live forever, while in others they cannot. Even the forbidden techniques that Orochimaru developed have huge flaws. They will continuously damage your soul, causing your resistance to genjutsu to become negative in the end," Tsunade said slowly.

"Is that so?" Orochimaru's eyes gleamed.

"What do we need to do to reach a higher world?" Orochimaru asked Tsunade.

"Unify the world, invade other worlds, devour the essence of other worlds, and elevate the level of your own world—this is the only way," Tsunade said in a deep voice.

Jiraiya couldn't hold back any longer: "Do you know how many people will die?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade thoughtfully.

“I know, that’s why I’m hesitating,” Tsunade said slowly.

"Hesitate? What's there to hesitate about? This kind of thing should never have happened!" Jiraiya shouted.

In Jiraiya's view, such behavior trampled on countless lives.

Putting everything else aside, just unifying the Naruto world would kill countless people.
