Shiranui Sho had already completed her part of the mission, and the remaining part was mainly led by Orochimaru.

However, after several months, they still hadn't produced any significant results.

As a partner, he certainly had reason to express his dissatisfaction.

Orochimaru grinned with a stiff smile: "Xiaojun, I am already responsible for other experimental projects, and in addition, I need to do something to track down the destruction of the Mudun experiment..."

"It's inevitable to be overwhelmed when you're doing too many things at once."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sho gave him a rather strange look.

Not long ago, he also encountered Jiraiya-sensei strolling around Tanabata during a break from his mission.

He often visited Tsunade's house and knew that she also lived a leisurely life.

Of the three legendary Sannin, only Orochimaru was constantly busy, not only working for Danzo but also taking on side jobs, making him a true workaholic!

Shiranui Sho casually pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Tell me, where did the problem go wrong?"

Seeing his more casual demeanor than before, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Orochimaru's eyes.

Because of the blow that nearly drove him to his death that day, he always harbored a sense of apprehension towards Shiranui Sho.

This sense of apprehension is also the foundation upon which their equal cooperative relationship is based.

But he gradually realized that the attack was not something that Shiranui Sho could easily deliver.

During their numerous exchanges related to experiments, he was always able to sense the other person's shared fear and wariness.

But now, that fear is gone.

Orochimaru didn't know what was happening, but he could sense something...

At this moment, Shiranui Sho truly regarded him as someone who could be treated as an equal.

This has nothing to do with identity or status, but only with strength!

Suppressing his suspicions, Orochimaru said calmly, "I have very little research on the extraction and input of physical energy."

"Overcoming this problem will take a considerable amount of time, or..."

"With Tsunade's help, we might be able to speed things up."

"Medical ninjutsu?"

Shiranui Sho quickly reached the same conclusion as Orochimaru, but her brows furrowed slightly.

Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is unparalleled in the ninja world, and her understanding of physical energy must also be superior to that of ordinary ninjas.

With her help, accelerating the progress of the experiment is not a problem.

But the key is...

At this time, it is not advisable for the tsunade to bleed.

The experiment inevitably involved seeing bloody sea monster flesh, which might have caused psychological harm to Tsunade.

"No, let's think of another way."

After pondering for a moment, Shiranui Xiao's eyes lit up, and she uttered a name that Orochimaru had not expected.

"Sand Hidden".

"Sand Fortress?"

Orochimaru paused slightly, a hint of thought flashing in his golden snake eyes.

Based on the experimental content, when it comes to Sunagakure, he can only think of one person.

That woman who repeatedly caused Konoha to suffer losses on the battlefield was feared for her poison and puppetry skills.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed: "Chiyo, she possesses such a technique?"

"Probably."

Shiranui Sou's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't finish her sentence.

His target was the technique Chiyo had mastered: the forbidden technique, Self-Reincarnation!

This was a technique invented by Chiyo in order to revive her son and daughter-in-law.

Using chakra as a medium to transfer life force is one of only two techniques in the Naruto world that can reverse death and bring the dead back to life.

The practitioner can use all of their own chakra as a medium to distribute their life to others.

In the Naruto world, physical energy is inherently closely tied to life force, sharing the same origin.

When it comes to the input and output of physical energy, this forbidden technique is the first thing that comes to his mind.

The only problem is that the original text's description of this forbidden technique is rather vague.

He only had two pieces of information.

First, the reincarnation of the self was secretly developed by the Sand Village after the death of the parents of the Red Sand Scorpion.

Second, this technique was listed as a forbidden technique after it was developed, and only Chiyo is known to have performed it.

Scorpion's parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang, during the First Shinobi World War, which was many years ago.

There is a high probability that this forbidden technique has already been invented.

Once classified as a forbidden technique, the Reincarnation Technique will undoubtedly be recorded in the Book of Sealing in Sunagakure.

Unless Sunagakure is out of his mind, it's impossible for this forbidden technique to be lost.

"Is there any way to obtain the Book of Sealing from Sunagakure?"

Shiranui Sho looked at Orochimaru and asked in a calm tone.

Orochimaru did not question the veracity of Shiranui Sho's words.

The two have aligned interests in this matter and have no reason to fabricate false information.

He lowered his head in thought, considering the feasibility of stealing the Book of the Hidden Sand Seal.

While Sunagakure's overall strength is inferior to Konoha's, it's still not something the two of them can contend with at their current level.

Currently, the top fighters in Sunagakure include the Third Kazekage and Chiyo.

However, their goal is only the Book of Seals, not to confront Sunagakure head-on.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was quite skilled at infiltration.

He licked his lips, having already made up his mind, and asked, "Xiao Jun, what's your plan?"

Seeing this, Shiranui Xiao's lips curled into a slight smile.

He knew that Orochimaru was, at heart, just as audacious and reckless.

In the future, he even dared to sneak into the Hidden Cloud Village alone for a sample of the Eight-Tails' horns, forcing the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, to separate from the Tailed Beast, and single-handedly causing the Eight-Tails to go berserk.

This is also why he proposed stealing the Book of Seals.

On one hand, Orochimaru had the guts to do it.

On the other hand, he also has the ability to infiltrate.

Thinking of someone from Sunagakure, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shiranui Sho's eyes.

"Infiltrate the hidden sands, kill the Wind Shadow, and seize the sealed book!"

"Killing Wind Shadow?"

Orochimaru's smile froze.

He never expected that his friend's disciple would be even more audacious than himself.

Killing the Wind Shadow, he believed he couldn't do it alone.

In particular, the Third Kazekage has been known in recent years as the "Strongest Kazekage".

But if it's Shiranui Sho...

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it were the other party, he believed it might actually be possible to kill the Third Kazekage.

The white needle that nearly killed him that day still fills him with fear to this day.

If he hadn't had such a strong mental fortitude, he probably would have developed acrophobia after Tsunade suffered from hemophobia...

He believed his ability to save his own life was far superior.

He survived, but the Third Kazekage might not.

? Chapter 102 Taki Ninja Village rebels against Ninja, Kakuzu!

"Should we do this job or not, Lord Orochimaru, give me a straight answer?"

Shiranui Sho, a wild and arrogant smile on her lips, stared directly into Orochimaru's gleaming snake eyes.

If the future Kazekage has already been killed by the Fourth Kazekage, why not just kill the Third Kazekage ahead of time?

However...

Shiranui Sho also had no intention of letting Orochimaru and the Third Kazekage face off directly.

The Third Kazekage was the whetstone he left for himself.

He then continued, "I will take care of the Third Kazekage; you only need to consider how to steal the Book of Seals."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed across Orochimaru's eyes.

He originally thought that Shiranui Sho wanted to recruit him as an ally to work together to kill the Third Kazekage.

But now it seems he actually wants to solo kill?

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Orochimaru licked his lips, the scales in his heart already tipping in one direction.

"Xiao Jun, how confident are you?"

After pondering for a moment, Shiranui Sou said softly, "We'll see when the time is right."

"It's hard to say now, but I'm about 70% sure next month."

"Then let's do it next month. Gathering information will take some time."

Orochimaru's golden snake eyes scanned Shiranui Sho, and he agreed to the cooperation.

He wasn't very confident about facing the Third Kazekage head-on.

However, stealing the Book of Seals would be no problem for him if the Third Kazekage were defeated.

With the cooperation agreed upon, Orochimaru gave a meaningful smile.

"It's a pity that Xiao Jun didn't become my disciple back then; perhaps we would have gotten along better."

……

After leaving Orochimaru's laboratory, Shiranui Sho returned home to rest.

I'm 70% confident I can single-handedly defeat the Third Kazekage...

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that he was supported by his strength.

Of course, he will only have this ability next month.

The one-month limit was set because this was a critical period for his strength to undergo a qualitative change.

His Dark-Dark Fruit abilities and ninjutsu are steadily improving.

What truly brought about the qualitative change was the spiritual body and the power system of the Grim Reaper.

He raised his spiritual power to level three in Soul Society, making his spiritual strength vastly different from when he first learned the Spirit Transformation Technique.

According to his perception, he could easily defeat a ninja of Uchiha Fugaku's level even in his spirit form.

And this was all before he had mastered the Fist of Slaying and the Demon-Slaying Technique, and before he had even mastered the Soul-Slaying Blade.

Once his Zanpakuto is released, his overall strength will undoubtedly reach the level of a Kage!
