Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 142 "Helping" the Enemy Plan an Attack...

At the end of August in Konoha Year 50, the Konoha Anbu quietly completed its rotation, with more young people replacing their retiring predecessors.

As the Hokage's direct subordinate force, the Anbu not only recruits outstanding ninjas, but also welcomes young people who are absolutely loyal and have management skills.

This time, the ANBU ninja in charge of equipment and simple daily tasks was only 13 years old. He was not particularly strong, but he was promoted because of his meticulous and serious work.

Four ninjas from the Uchiha clan were selected this time. Despite some opposition, the Fourth Hokage, Tsunade, insisted on recruiting them.

After working for more than half a month, the Anbu had not made any mistakes. The only one who could point out a problem was Orochimaru, the department head.

Since taking office, Orochimaru has rarely made public appearances, and recently he has been burying himself in the laboratory and not going out.

Even the collection of data and the transmission of information were handled by Mitarashi Anko, while most of the daily work was secretly handled by Furukawa Osamu.

Since discovering the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru has become obsessed with the origins of bloodline limits.

With the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan appearing one after another, the village's daily affairs held no appeal compared to these legendary powers.

Late at night, in the former Root's experimental base, Orochimaru, whose skin was growing paler, looked expectantly at the writhing material on the experimental table.

This is the first version of the curse seal optimized by Furukawa Osamu based on the ideas he provided. It borrows the cultivation method of Ryuchi Cave Immortal Technique and uses special herbs to neutralize some of the toxicity.

Although the cursed seal is still in its "bankruptcy" form, Orochimaru is already quite satisfied. He couldn't help but praise the fact that the experiment had progressed to this point in such a short time: "Using modified Hashirama cells to resist the erosion of natural energy, and gradually allowing the body to adapt to this power."

"Xiu, the initial design of the curse seal was made possible thanks to your help."

Furukawa Osamu is still recording data. These experiments can also help him expand his power. Mastering Sage Arts is still too difficult, while Cursed Seals have a wider range of applications.

Looking at the test subject's blackened skin, Furukawa Osamu sighed with some regret: "Fighting against two forces at the same time is still too difficult for an ordinary ninja."

"Pain exceeding the limits of the human body will cause enormous damage to the body. It is best to use sealing techniques to complete this stage."

"After the curse seal is completed, there will be considerable problems. This passive natural energy should not be able to compare with the power of true immortal magic."

"At most, it improves the 'quality' of chakra; it doesn't offer much benefit in other aspects."

Unlike the pseudo-immortal transformation achieved by Mei Terumi using Osamu Furukawa's spirit, the current curse seal is merely a bankrupt version of the effect, its only advantage being that it does not consume the spirit's energy.

"That's enough!"

Orochimaru responded lightly; he didn't want his life to be controlled by others.

By improving the vessel's physical attributes through a cursed seal, it can immediately "reincarnate" once its original body fails to cultivate immortal arts.

Even if he fails to be transformed by the White Snake Sage, he can still refine Sage Chakra on his own.

Furthermore, with the container adapting to natural energy, a complete set of magical techniques can be pieced together.

Furukawa Osamu tacitly refrained from responding. As long as Orochimaru continued to use the modified Hashirama cells, his body would be completely under Orochimaru's control.

"Are you planning to take over my body this way?"

Yecang, who was helping out from the side, asked with a pale face. Her body had been modified, and her strength had greatly increased. She had been in charge of capturing bloodline limit ninjas before.

After learning that Orochimaru didn't mind using a woman's body as a vessel, Yekura lived in fear every day. She had gotten used to her current life and didn't want to die.

"Your body has no advantages other than your bloodline limit."

"Such ordinary ninja skills can only serve as advanced tools."

Orochimaru casually replied that he wasn't very interested in the bloodline limit of escaping techniques; Sage Mode was the key to the next stage. As long as he could obtain temporary eternity, he could slowly search for a body.

"Orochimaru-sensei seems to be paying attention to the Sharingan lately. Has he made any significant discoveries?"

Furukawa feigned curiosity and asked, while Orochimaru recalled those blood-red pupils with intricate patterns, subconsciously licked his lips, and chuckled as he replied, "I'm just curious about the history of the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha members in the village are not worth my attention. Even Uchiha Shisui, who is known as a genius, seems unable to control that legendary power."

"Mangekyou Sharingan, Xiu, you should have seen this part of the information by now."

"It was because Madara Uchiha possessed such power that he was able to fight against Hashirama Senju. In the past, I thought that the recorded content was exaggerated, but now it seems that my concept was wrong."

Orochimaru had essentially mastered all the information about Root, and he also learned about the forbidden experiments conducted in some villages.

The Sharingan had been studied extensively in the past, but Orochimaru was still somewhat disappointed after seeing this knowledge. The three-tomoe Sharingan was no match for the Mangekyou Sharingan; their eye power was on completely different levels.

"The ultimate application of Yin Release? In this respect, the Uchiha clan is indeed favored."

Furukawa Osamu gave a brief response, and Orochimaru nodded but did not continue the topic. After all, he had never witnessed a ninja with the Mangekyou Sharingan and could not believe that such a powerful force truly existed.

"I might go to Ryuchi Cave to train for a while."

"Xiu, the work in the Dark Division and Anko are entrusted to you."

Orochimaru gave a brief instruction but didn't explain why he was in such a hurry to learn Sage Mode. Furukawa Osamu responded but didn't ask for a reason, which left the lurking White Zetsu somewhat puzzled.

The complex experiments and various human data were completely incomprehensible to White Zetsu.

He instinctively sensed that Orochimaru's target was the cursed seal on his body, and secretly resolved, "I must get this message to Lord Madara!"

The speed at which information is transmitted through the roots of trees is much slower than before. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Obito received the information sent back by White Zetsu.

As night fell, Black Zetsu inwardly groaned. Appearing beside Obito, he immediately offered advice: "Once Orochimaru escapes control, we must be wary of a counterattack from the Konoha ninja!"

"Fortunately, your eye technique wasn't exposed much. Continue to hide for now, and wait until the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's seal weakens before using Nagato to attack Konoha."

"According to the plan, we should kill Furukawa Osamu at our first meeting. Nagato needs puppets, so we can collect them for him."

Obito, sitting atop the metal tower, did not respond immediately. As usual, he looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in the moonlight.

Black Zetsu was getting anxious. If Obito also broke free of control, his entire plan would be disrupted. Just as he was about to speak up to add to the plan, Obito calmly replied, "If you can control him once, you can control him a second time!"

"Faced with these Mangekyou Sharingan, even the so-called Legendary Sannin are nothing special."

"What I really want to know is why I can't control the Gedo Mazo? The Mangekyou Sharingan doesn't seem to be able to communicate with the Mazo."

Obito turned his head and looked at Black Zetsu with his scarlet eyes. Madara Uchiha had told him that these eyes could easily control the golem, but after trying many times, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

Unable to control it, unable to summon spirits, there must have been a problem in some aspects; this is not the situation Madara Uchiha initially described.

The Gedo Mazo cannot be lost; this is how Black Zetsu can better restrain Obito. Without the God Tree's outer shell, even with the Tailed Beasts, he cannot "create the world."

"It's probably because your eye power isn't strong enough yet. The Mangekyou Sharingan also needs time to grow."

"Nagato's eyes were awakened by Madara himself. Those Rinnegan eyes already possessed an extremely large amount of chakra, which is why he was able to manipulate the Gedo Mazo."

Black Zetsu gave a long explanation in a hoarse voice, without mentioning that he hadn't done things as required. Obito's ability to notice this was completely beyond his expectations.

Obito's three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly displayed complex patterns, startling Black Zetsu, who immediately lowered his head. Kamui hadn't affected him: "I hope you're not lying to me!"

"Don't try to fool my eyes. If necessary, I can take Nagato's Rinnegan at any time."

"Lord Madara, please be patient. Without the physique of the Uzumaki clan, there is simply no way to nourish those eyes."

Black Zetsu loudly flattered him, fearing that Obito would have an attack and kill Nagato to take his eyes. In order to save his mother, he had no choice but to compromise.

Obito didn't respond. A vortex appeared, and he disappeared completely. He was somewhat looking forward to Orochimaru's method of breaking free of the cursed seal, which would also be his chance to gain freedom.

When the two White Zetsu appeared, they laughed and mocked the Black Zetsu. Obito's eye power was increasing every day. The more he missed and hated this world, the more his brain could secrete special chakra.

"Don't underestimate the proxy; after all, he's someone Lord Madara has chosen!"

"I wonder if he can kill Furukawa Osamu and complete the first phase of his plan. I have a feeling that he held back during our last encounter."

"We can't gather any information. He's disguised himself too well in Konoha; nobody knows his true identity."

"Will the proxy die a tragic death like Madara? I wonder what stage Susanoo has reached in its training..."

The White Zetsu kept appearing and chatting happily, while the Black Zetsu became increasingly frustrated. If he wasn't mistaken, Furukawa Osamu would eventually try to seize the Gedo Mazo.

Once Nagato is lost as his only support, the plan will no longer be under his control. Thinking of the current complicated situation, Black Zetsu broke down and growled, "Shut up! We are Madara-sama's will, and we must ensure the smooth execution of the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Nagato is unaware of his importance to Black Zetsu. This month, in addition to learning the Six Paths Techniques, he is also trying to modify the Six Paths Puppets.

Because he couldn't fully master the Rinnegan, Yahiko didn't use Nagato's body and instead used Hanzo as "Paradise".

Watching Konan skillfully operate the large medical pod she had purchased, Nagato exclaimed in surprise, "Konan, I never knew you had such outstanding talent in medical ninjutsu!"

"The modifications to the puppets during this period were largely thanks to your help. Without your supervision, I don't know if those guys would have tampered with the puppets."

Without the black robe, Konan regained some of her girlish charm. Hearing her friend's praise, she was surprised: "I mastered those medical ninjutsu very easily, it just took me some time to activate my body."

"I...I don't know why I'm good at these modifications either..."

As Konan spoke, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She was startled by her own talent, and inexplicably thought of her past experiences. Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "If I had mastered these ninjutsu sooner, perhaps none of us would have died."

Medical ninjas are a valuable asset to any organization. Konoha now has such a powerful medical system that it can even generate revenue for the village, something Amegakure can't compare to.

Knowing the difficulties faced by the village and Akatsuki, Nagato walked to Konan's side and gently comforted her, "This is not your fault; the fault lies with this hellish world."

"With your help, I'm confident I can make Konoha feel Yahiko's pain even more deeply!"

Xiao Nan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded vigorously. Since she had such a talent, she should make good use of it. An idea suddenly popped into her mind, and she immediately suggested, "The weapons that the Asura Path summons can also be used on other puppets."

"It's just some basic modifications, which I should be able to do. This will make up for the lack of combat power in the other puppets."

"Nagato, I'll have to trouble you again. Only you can summon these weapons."

The Rinnegan possesses incredible power, and the weapons it summons are beyond the capabilities of the ninja world to manufacture. Nagato was also surprised by his own abilities. Upon hearing Konan's suggestion, he immediately and solemnly replied, "No problem, I will try my best to summarize some patterns."

"I'll leave the modification of the puppet to you."

During this time, Furukawa Osamu's spirit completely assimilated the puppetry technology of Sunagakure by modifying the Six Paths Puppet. The prosthetic limbs he left in Konoha were also one of the results of his training.

The ability to summon weapons that don't exist in the ninja world aroused his intense curiosity; this planet seemed to be connected to other wondrous worlds!

Xiao Nan felt all her fatigue disappear. The thought of improving the puppet made her want to rush over and study it immediately: "I'll do my best!"

The girl responded enthusiastically, then buried herself in operating the experimental equipment.

Osamu Furukawa's spirit occasionally provides Konan with inspiration, and the girl's medical ninjutsu improves by leaps and bounds, while her control over chakra reaches another level.

When Nagato saw this scene, the cold expression on his face gradually disappeared.

He preferred seeing his friend busy in the lab; Konan's previous insane killings had broken his heart: "Yahiko, I will definitely take good care of Konan..."

On September 9th, Osamu Furukawa celebrated his 13th birthday, and Shizune took the opportunity to organize a gathering for his classmates.

The village's commercial street became increasingly lively. After nightfall, most of the Konoha ninja would come here to spend money, and the newly opened shops of the Uchiha clan were particularly popular.

The Uchiha clan is the brand name; the higher price actually attracts more people to buy it.

When Kakashi arrived at the wildly popular Uchiha sukiyaki restaurant, he saw the Uchiha members with their fan-shaped emblems mingling with everyone, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes: "Obito, this is what you wanted to see, isn't it!"

"If you were still here, you would have moved to a central location by now..."
