Jiraiya stared at the bill that had been dragged to the floor, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor.

Holding his wallet, he looked at the banknotes inside, which he couldn't count even after counting them several times.

Jiraiya, who had not yet become a great writer, was not very wealthy at the time.

While ninjas can make money quickly, the cost of ninjutsu and ninja tools can be quite high.

Looking up at the smiling barbecue restaurant owner, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I wash the dishes to pay off my debt?"

The barbecue restaurant owner stared wide-eyed. He couldn't believe there was such a shameless ninja. He wasn't even as straightforward as that brat who kept rolling his eyes last time.

The boss quickly did a couple of calculations with his abacus.

He reluctantly reached an agreement with Jiraiya.

Jiraiya, looking dejected, had just stepped out the door when he heard Jin talking loudly.

"People like us who are always hungry have to find a sucker to treat us to a meal."

Minato Namikaze looked embarrassed, while Kushina looked serious.

Jiraiya's face darkened, and he retracted his assessment of Uchiha Kin.

Gin, who was teaching Kushina and Minato Namikaze how to find a sucker, looked up and saw Jiraiya with a dark expression on his face greeting him.

"Oh, what a fool. It's not Jiraiya-sensei."

You were definitely trying to say I was being ripped off, weren't you?!

Jiraiya roared inwardly.

Now he realizes this guy was a total rip-off!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry."

Jin stepped forward, took out a small notebook, and handed it to Jiraiya, speaking in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.

"What is this?" Jiraiya looked at the contents of the document.

"Basic internal skills".

"This is the secret behind why I didn't use ninjutsu before."

After all, everyone in the class should know each other well; it's definitely not because he's greedy for Jiraiya's ninjutsu knowledge.

This piqued Jiraiya's interest.

"Jiraiya."

A gloomy voice rang out, and Orochimaru appeared beside them without them noticing.

Seeing Orochimaru, Jiraiya showed a look of surprise.

Isn't this a savior?!

"Hey, Orochimaru, what brings you so late? Quick, lend me some money!"

Orochimaru tilted his head: "???"

He rummaged through his pockets but couldn't find his wallet.

"I didn't bring my wallet today."

Jiraiya: orz.

As expected, there is no such thing as a savior.

Orochimaru suddenly noticed the small notebook in Jiraiya's hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"Jiraiya, there is a real road there."

"Huh?" Jiraiya raised the notebook in his hand, looking completely bewildered.

Orochimaru, however, offered no explanation.

"I took the person away."

Kim also waved to Minato Namikaze.

"See you tomorrow."

After Uchiha Kin and Orochimaru left.

Minato Namikaze looked at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression.

"Jiraiya-sensei, who is that?"

Jiraiya looked utterly dejected.

"Orochimaru, an elite Jonin, is my teammate."

The disappointment on his face turned into a bitter smile. He said to Minato Namikaze and Kushina, "I have something to do. You can go home now. I'll take you on a mission tomorrow."

After saying that, Jiraiya walked into the barbecue restaurant with a tragic expression.

He has to wash 10,000 dishes today.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jin followed Orochimaru further and further into the remote areas.

And if he remembered correctly, this direction was the direction of the Death Forest.

That place is sealed off because there are too many ferocious beasts and ninja beasts, and it is not allowed to enter unless you are a ninja.

Many members of the Uchiha clan obtained their summoning beasts from there.

Although he was puzzled, Jin didn't say much.

Following Orochimaru into the Forest of Death, they finally entered a place that resembled a laboratory through a hidden passage.

Orochimaru explained the structure of the place to Kin.

"This will be your training ground from now on. The first floor is the training ground, the second floor is where the ninja beasts are kept, the third floor is the ninjutsu collection room, which you can look at freely, and the fourth floor is my laboratory."

Jin also asked bluntly.

"Orochimaru-sama wouldn't just be doing this to train me, would he?"

Regardless of the differences between the past and the present, Ginko doesn't truly believe that Orochimaru would selflessly dedicate himself to him.

He's not some powerful figure like Rope Tree.

There must be a purpose behind it.

"Does King understand what the ninjutsu you created represents?" Orochimaru countered.

Jin frowned, lost in thought. His ninjutsu was simply born from a different mindset than that of a normal ninja.

What else could it represent?

Seeing Jin deep in thought, Orochimaru spoke the answer first.

"It's a transformation, a transformation of the entire ninja world."

Jin instantly leaped backward and pulled out a kunai.

Change is not something that can be said casually, especially when it comes from someone else's mouth.

That in itself represents danger.

"hiss."

A hissing sound came from beside Jin. He turned his head and saw a flower snake already coiled around his body.

He remained frozen in place, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

The difference is too obvious.

Orochimaru chuckled: "Don't worry, King, I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, I will protect you. You just need to continue developing this so-called basic internal skill."

Through his research over the past few days, Orochimaru has come to a clear understanding that while the basic internal energy cultivation techniques are profound, their practical methods are quite rudimentary.

Because he cannot understand the underlying principles of this technique, he cannot change it on his own. However, it is possible to change it if he wants to understand it thoroughly, but it will take a long time.

Why not let the creators do the research and development themselves?

"My current knowledge base does not allow me to continue research and development."

Is Jin not trying to deduce it? No, his work has been rejected by those with the "golden finger" ability!

"So I will provide you with shelter and the key to your growth; all you need to do is give me the results."

"And during this time, you will participate in my experiment."

"What experiment?"

"Experiments with intercolumnar cells".

Chapter 19 The Uchiha's Foolish Elders

Intercolumnar cells!?

How could an Uchiha like him possibly touch that thing?

Even after arriving home, Uchiha Kin still couldn't believe it.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi found out, would he just kill him?

But he didn't do it voluntarily!

They won't listen.

That's fine.

He could only imagine what he saw on the fourth floor, the information about Hashirama's cells in his backpack, and some of the ninjutsu he had chosen.

I still can't believe it and feel a little worried.

It was hard to tell whether it was a pleasant surprise or a shock, but it just hit him on the head.

"If I activate the Kaleidoscope and combine it with Hashirama cells, I'll at least be a shadow."

Unfortunately, the biggest challenge for Jin is the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He hasn't even awakened his Sharingan yet.
