Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

Clearly, their research into the soul will go much deeper!

Perhaps relevant research results have already been obtained!

Unfortunately, he will not live to see these research findings.

Nie Yinmeng suddenly asked, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

Orochimaru slightly opened his eyes and fell silent.

How could such an important place be allowed to be visited by an outsider like him?

His first thought was to suspect the purpose of the Land of Whirlpools.

However, his thirst for knowledge made him unable to resist.

"May I?"

Nie Yinmeng's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "Please come in."

The door opened, and suddenly everything became bright and spacious.

Researchers in white coats walked around inside.

The entire Technology Development Bureau has a sci-fi feel that is out of place in the ninja world.

There were even many instruments that Orochimaru had never seen before.

Nie Yinmeng casually led him around.

Of course, some important parts were not shown to Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru's eyes remained wide open, watching with great interest.

Although he couldn't understand the purpose of a large portion of it.

But there were some things he did know about.

For example, research on cloning life in a laboratory.

This research made him clench his hands in excitement.

There are also devices that can explore the ninja world through a screen.

The scene depicts the battle between the monsters known as Hollows and the Cloud Ninja in the Land of Lightning.

When Orochimaru came out of the Technology Development Bureau, he felt completely lost.

The Land of Whirlpools seems to exist in a separate world from the rest of the ninja world.

Even Konoha, which considers itself the number one ninja village in the ninja world, can't even come close.

Even everything here deeply attracted him.

Especially the mysteries of the soul!

but……

Orochimaru took a deep breath and calmed his feverish heart.

He is still a member of Konoha, and a disciple personally trained by Sarutobi-sensei. He cannot let Sarutobi-sensei down.

We've pretty much finished exploring Seireitei.

Nemuro finally brought Orochimaru to the tall building that he had looked up at when he first came in.

The headquarters building of the 13th Division!

Nie Yinmeng said, "Let's go, come with me to pay homage to the Spirit King."

Orochimaru's heart sank, and he felt a little nervous.

Will we finally see the true face of this mysterious Spirit King of the Whirlpool Country?

As he entered the headquarters building, a somber atmosphere instantly enveloped him.

On one side of the hall, a group of imposing figures stood silently, each one giving him the feeling that his hair stood on end.

It was as if he would die if he made the slightest mistake.

Based on Konoha's intelligence, Orochimaru quickly realized that these must be the captains of the Land of Whirlpools.

one two three four……

Only four appeared...?

Doesn't the Land of Whirlpools have thirteen divisions?

Have all the other team leaders gone on missions?

Orochimaru guessed in his mind, then looked up at the seat of honor.

With just one glance, Orochimaru's pupils shrank sharply.

That striking red hair instantly confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

The Spirit King of the Land of Whirlpools is indeed from the Whirlpool Clan!

All of Konoha's previous speculations have been confirmed!

While Orochimaru was shocked, he outwardly greeted him respectfully, saying, "Orochimaru, the envoy from Konoha, greets Lord Rei-ō!"

Chihiro Uzumaki said calmly, "Orochimaru, what do you think of my Land of Whirlpools?"

Orochimaru was startled, not understanding the purpose of the Soul King's question, but still respectfully replied:

"The Land of Whirlpools is a magnificent country with beautiful architecture and a wonderful environment. It has many unique features and is a truly magical place!"

Chihiro Uzumaki chuckled and said, "Would you be interested in taking a position in my Land of Whirlpools? My Land of Whirlpools' Technology Development Bureau is short of a director."

Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat!

Poaching!

But he did suddenly feel a flutter in his heart!

The Land of Whirlpools is teeming with souls, and one can even serve as the director of the Technology Development Bureau!

He took a deep breath and declined the extremely tempting invitation.

"I'm sorry, Lord Spirit King, I am still a ninja of Konoha."

Oh, so you mean just waiting isn't enough?

Chihiro chuckled inwardly; this was truly interesting.

Chihiro Uzumaki's invitation to Orochimaru to the Land of Whirlpools was a well-thought-out decision.

Furthermore, they are not afraid that Orochimaru will become a traitor.

If he dares to agree, then he will need to become a Grim Reaper through the Grim Reaper Job Change Scroll.

Once he transforms into a Grim Reaper, he will never again harbor ill intentions towards him.

This is the Soul King's control over the Grim Reaper under the system's settings.

With just a thought, one can easily control the life and death of the Grim Reapers!

Since Orochimaru rejected his invitation, Chihiro Uzumaki did not continue the topic.

The reaction had already planted a seed in Orochimaru's heart, and he even took Orochimaru to see the research projects on soul and life at the Technology Development Bureau.

He refused to believe that Orochimaru wouldn't be tempted by these things.

One day, Orochimaru will come to you on his own.

"In that case, tell me why Konoha sent you here."

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that if he refused the invitation, the Soul King might become enraged and order the captains to kill him.

Orochimaru said, "The reason for this visit to the Land of Whirlpools is regarding Kushina Uzumaki."

He said solemnly, "Kushina Uzumaki is of great significance to Konoha. We are willing to pay any price to keep Kushina Uzumaki. We hope Lord Soul King will grant our request!"

Chihiro Uzumaki asked playfully, "Any price?"

Orochimaru said seriously, "Any price!"

"Then let's give Konoha to our Land of Whirlpools."

"Uh... I'm afraid that won't work."

Orochimaru was embarrassed. He said he would pay any price, but that was just a nice way of saying it. How could this Soul King actually dare to ask for it?

Chihiro Uzumaki scoffed and said, "Didn't you say there would be no price?"

Orochimaru, sweating profusely, could only grit his teeth and say, "This really won't work..."

Chihiro Uzumaki said with little interest, "Since Konoha has no sincerity, then let's forget about it and see them out."

"and many more!"

Orochimaru wanted to say something more, but was met with indifferent glances from the captains.

Then he wisely shut his mouth.

Just as Orochimaru was about to step out of the headquarters gate, Chihiro Uzumaki spoke:

"I'm only giving Konoha three days. If Kushina isn't found in the Land of Whirlpools after three days, then I'll have to go and get her myself."
