Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

Orochimaru patted Yamamura Ryuhei on the shoulder. "Although I brought Ryuhei back to life, and he would never refuse my orders, I think it would be better to let him live a little longer."

Feeling the warmth and pressure on his shoulder, Yamamura Ryuhei looked up at Orochimaru.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Yamamura Ryuhei showed a grateful expression.

Akira Hatake saw the expression on Ryuhei Yamamura's face and couldn't bring himself to refuse.

As Orochimaru said, although he gave Yamamura Ryuhei back to life, it would be cruel to deprive him of the right to live immediately.

"You decide for yourself."

Akira Hatake did not refuse, but instead chose to respect Orochimaru's suggestion.

"Thank you."

Orochimaru nodded slightly to Akira Hatake, "Actually, Akira doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry. I assure you, in just one week, we can begin to implement the Nohara Rin resurrection plan."

"As long as you have an idea."

Akira Hatake couldn't force Orochimaru; that guy was impervious to both soft and hard tactics and did things entirely according to his own whims.

Despite Orochimaru's seemingly righteous words, the bottom line is that Orochimaru doesn't want to let go of Yamamura Ryuhei, the successful experimental subject.

Akira Hatake couldn't say it directly, so he could only play along with Orochimaru in cryptic terms.

As expected, after receiving Akira Hatake's reply, Orochimaru prepared to send him away.

"My lord, I need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on Longping. The process may be a bit tedious, and I don't think you'll be interested."

"Indeed, I have absolutely no interest in scientific research or anything like that."

Akira Hatake could easily understand the meaning behind Orochimaru's words, and immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "In that case, I'll come back in a week."

"can."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, "However, when you come again next time, I hope you can bring me two things."

"what?"

Akira Hatake, who was about to turn his wheelchair and leave, looked up at Orochimaru and said, "What you want is probably not something simple, is it?"

Akira Hatake knew very well that Orochimaru didn't need to get rid of him for ordinary things; he could be completely self-sufficient.

Orochimaru can even obtain some prohibited items with a little effort.

However, if Orochimaru asks Akira Hatake for something, it means that those things are very important and Orochimaru can't get them in a short time.

"It is indeed not a simple thing for me, but for a wise ruler, it is a piece of cake."

Orochimaru licked his lips. "I need a vial of blood from Kushina Uzumaki, a vial of blood from Fugaku Uchiha, and a vial of blood from Hiashi Hyuga."

"If possible, I would also greatly need a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe and a pair of Byakugan from the Hyuga main family."

"This……"

Akira Hatake thought to himself, "Good heavens! Orochimaru isn't asking me to do something, he's practically sending me to stir up a hornet's nest!"

"no!"

After a pause, Akira Hatake decisively refused, "Orochimaru, the bloodline of my master's wife with that of Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga isn't a big problem, but the eyes of the two clans..."

Glancing at Orochimaru, Akira Hatake's tone visibly turned furious, "Do you really think I can control everything in Konoha?!"

"hehe."

Orochimaru's uniquely cold and chilling voice rang out, sending chills down everyone's spines: "My lord, don't underestimate yourself, and of course, don't underestimate the courage of Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi."

"Of course, it's mainly because the wise ruler underestimated me."

“You?” Hatake Akira pointed at Orochimaru. “I have never underestimated you, nor would I dare to.”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone against everyone's wishes and allowed you to spend more than 20 billion taels of research funds in just over half a year."

“These are two different things.” Orochimaru shook his head. “What I mean is that the wise ruler hasn’t realized yet what you really want from these things.”

"I really can't guess. Tell me."

Akira Hatake couldn't help but frown; he really didn't want to keep playing games with Orochimaru.

"It's very simple."

Orochimaru's fanatical expression flashed by in an instant. "I'm preparing for my god-making plan."

"The specific implementation steps of the god-making plan are too complicated. If I were to explain them in detail, I estimate it would take at least two days."

"Let's keep it simple!"

Akira Hatake was in a bad mood; anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing Orochimaru say that.

This isn't hard to understand. Orochimaru's implication was that Akira Hatake didn't understand scientific research, and explaining his grand plan in detail would be pointless.

Seemingly oblivious to the indignation in Hatake Akira's words, Orochimaru licked his lips and briefly explained his god-making plan.

"I will divide the god-making plan into three steps."

"I have already achieved the first step, which is to bring Yamamura Ryuhei back to life by using Hanzo the Salamander's body."

"I call this step 'soul possession'."

"The second step is to use the genes of various bloodline families to cultivate a large number of their clones."

“I call this step ‘bloodline replication’.”

"The final step is to combine the bloodlines of the many clones into one, thereby restoring the bloodline and tracing the diluted bloodline power back to the time of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"Even if I can't achieve the level I envision, I think I should be able to trace back to the bloodline concentration of Otsutsuki Hamura or Otsutsuki Hagoromo."

"If I want to complete my 'god-making plan,' the second part is absolutely crucial."

"That's why I thought of asking a wise ruler for help to clear away some unnecessary troubles and obstacles for me."

"You really think highly of me!"

Although Akira Hatake was very interested in Orochimaru's plan, he knew that he could not possibly persuade Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuga with just this plan.

"Orochimaru, I'm not trying to discourage you."

"Do you think you can get the Uchiha and Hyuga to hand over the foundation of their clans just because of a plan that's still in the planning stage?"

"This is impossible!"

"What if I make substantial progress?" Orochimaru remained calm and instead revealed a shocking piece of news to Akira Hatake.

"My wise ruler, you may not know this, but my clone project has been a success."

"Successfully? When did this happen?"

“Just a month and a half ago.” Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

"While I was unconscious?" Akira Hatake suddenly realized the problem and felt a little uneasy. "Who exactly did you copy?"

"you."

"Me!"

Akira Hatake lost his temper and squeezed the wheelchair rim with one hand, leaving a finger mark. If he hadn't been aware that he couldn't get out of the wheelchair yet, he would have hit much harder.

Akira Hatake already knew about the research topic on clones; he couldn't possibly forget the large culture tanks he saw during his last visit.

If it happened to someone else, Akira Hatake might not care, but if it happened to him, he simply couldn't accept it.

Call Hatake Akira selfish or hypocritical, but if this happened to you, probably few people would remain calm.

"Wise ruler, don't be anxious."

Orochimaru, still smiling, said, "Let me finish what I have to say."

Orochimaru shrugged, looking completely unfazed. "Although I took some of your blood for research without your permission, it's a bit of a pity..."

"Although I have successfully created a clone of you, your bloodline power is now ridiculously strong. Even if the cloning is successful, your clone will not live to adulthood."

Hearing Orochimaru say that his clone had not survived, Akira Hatake felt a little relieved of his frustration.

"Humph!"

With a light snort, he said, "Don't even think about messing with me. Ordinary culture medium is simply not enough to support you in completing your experiment."

"Indeed, as the wise ruler said, because your life essence has now transcended humanity and entered a new realm, therefore... my failure is inevitable."

"Even though I experienced failure under a wise ruler, I also gained a lot of experience."

clap clap.

Orochimaru clapped his hands. "Shin, come out now!"

"Father..."

A boy peeked out from a corner of the laboratory and quickly stood behind Orochimaru.

"This is……"

Akira Hatake looked at the boy named Shin, and his memories became momentarily confused.

The name reminded him of one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects, but the boy's appearance was somewhat different from the one Akira Hatake remembered.

If you look closely, he does resemble a smaller version of Orochimaru.

"His name is... Uchiha Shin... or Orochi Shin?"

"Shin Orochi." Orochimaru reached out and patted Shin Orochi's head, a look of affection on his face. "He is my copy, an exact copy inside and out."

"Then his soul..."

Akira Hatake suddenly realized an unavoidable question: "Is the soul of the clone born autonomously, or is it yours...?"

"The soul can indeed be born on its own, but I haven't figured out exactly how the human soul is produced yet."

Orochimaru's face showed disappointment. "So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shin has had no soul since his birth. He is just a bunch of living zombies."

"Then...the soul of faith...?"

"One-third of my soul," Orochimaru said, startlingly. "He's a lot like me, isn't he?"

"You're... way too crazy!!"

Akira Hatake was at a loss for words when it came to Orochimaru. "To be able to do this to yourself, that kind of madness, it really is something else..."

"Thank you for the compliment."
