In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

Orochimaru's secret base.

Seizing the inspiration, Igogami successfully manifested Conqueror's Haki and relentlessly captured Hizashi Hyuga, storming Orochimaru's territory.

"Some of the elders of the main family were arguing fiercely over this matter."

Hyuga Hizashi looked flustered.

I didn't tell him that Lord Orochimaru was coming too!

Fifty strings awaken the Byakugan.

Don't be so surprised. If I had cattle and horses and didn't use them, wouldn't I have wasted my time hiring them?

"The Hyuga main family has always been like this, so don't worry about it. If it really comes down to it, I'll go and make a trip there myself," Orochimaru said while adjusting the equipment.

His tone was very calm, as if he were talking about what to eat tonight.

"Lord Orochimaru." Hyuga Hizashi's muscles tensed subconsciously.

He had met Orochimaru, but only in formal settings, where he couldn't say a word.

Even ordinary Hyuga main family members cannot speak to Orochimaru on equal terms, let alone a boy who has already been assigned to a branch family.

Despite his nervousness, seeing Orochimaru's professional demeanor rekindled a long-lost glimmer of hope within him.

If it were Lord Orochimaru, he should be able to make the Caged Bird take flight, right?

"Lie down, we need to have a comprehensive physical examination."

Orochimaru gently patted the top cover of the instrument and gave Hyuga Hizashi a considerate smile.

grunt.

Hyuga Hizashi mustered his courage, closed his eyes, stretched out his legs, and lay down like a dead fish.

……

"How did it go?" Isogen glanced at Hyuga Hizashi lying on the bed, his eyes sunken, like a captain who had taken off fifty times in one night.

At such a young age, he already has takeoff experience and can serve as a captain; his future is limitless.

After reading the report, Orochimaru handed it to Igarashi, who quickly scanned it from top to bottom.

The complex medical reports seem to be a dividing line, a border, between people's intelligence levels.

Fortunately, I can understand fifty strings.

Do you even understand the significance of Konoha Hospital winning a Grand Slam in a year?

"Yes, as expected. Because of the seal placed on me since childhood, the seal gradually merges with my body over time. As long as there is chakra in my body, the seal will not be broken."

With a foundation in both medicine and sealing techniques, Igarashi easily extracted what he wanted from the report.

"Sealing techniques? I'm not very good at that," Orochimaru said casually.

Well, at least for now, he's not very good at this.

Wu Zixian scrutinized the caged bird.

The Caged Bird technique is actually not complicated. Given his orthodox sealing technique training and strong Yin attribute, he is at a level where he can try to master it.

The problem is not with the seal itself.

Chakra is a type of energy that changes with the body's strength, and it subtly influences the body as it changes.

For specific examples, look at Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village). Both the Kaguya clan and Kisame Hoshigaki exhibit different forms of physical mutation.

Then there's the Hozuki clan. Their water transformation technique is a secret art, but as they use it year after year, their bodies also mutate in that direction.

Specifically, when the same water transformation technique is presented to them, Hozuki clan ninjas train faster, better, and stronger than others.

In fact, all the ninja clans, big and small, in Konoha have the same reaction. A prime example is the Nara clan. Influenced by their own bloodline, they all find things troublesome and are quite intelligent. If they continue to use their shadow techniques according to the normal process, it is not impossible for them to completely integrate them into their bloodline and transform them into a bloodline limit when the time is right.

After all, chakra is quite magical.

Orochimaru concluded: "It's impossible to break the seal. Even if we can do it without attracting the seal's attention, the moment the seal is broken, the host's body will die."

Ultimately, the caged bird is not important; what matters is the person.

If the Caged Bird Seal is indeed a sealing technique so powerful that it cannot be broken, then the reputation of the Uzumaki clan will be greatly diminished.

Only when the host and the seal are connected since childhood, so intimately intertwined that even the color of the underwear worn today is known, can the seal be prevented from being broken as much as possible.

Around the age of three, the child defeats the Caged Bird. At this age, children change every month, and their physical development is rapid, which promotes the connection between the Caged Bird's chakra and the chakra generated in the body.

Under these circumstances, once the older members of the Hyuga branch family are released from their caged birds, only death awaits them.

Looking at this data, Wuzhixian couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of the ninja world, these ancient families with a long history have quite a bit of insight into the path of the will of conquest."

Listening to their exclamations, Hyuga Hizashi, exhausted, asked with trepidation, "Orochimaru-sama, Igogen-kun, can you break this?"

"The chances of breaking the seal are slim, but the chances of death are quite high."

Orochimaru's voice was like that of a supreme god delivering his final judgment to the human world.

The courage and hope that Hyuga Hizashi had finally mustered seemed to be torn to shreds by those words.

The two were not surprised by his reaction.

Ultimately, Hyuga Hizashi is still just a teenager. Even the rigid education methods of the Hyuga clan cannot completely extinguish the youthful spirit that shines brightest in the hearts of teenagers at this age.

However, he couldn't hold on for much longer.

What strikes at the heart of the world is not despair, but the glimmer of hope born from despair, and then watching that glimmer of hope disappear, vanish, and return to nothingness.

"It's unlikely to work through the seal; this thing has already grown into you." Isogen narrowed his eyes, revealing an amused smile.

"However, it's still worth trying to work on the person themselves."

He turned to look at Orochimaru.

"Did you bring the things?"

"I brought it. It took me a lot of effort." Orochimaru chuckled. Before he had evolved into a snake, his smile had the air of a cold-faced male god.

"I'm quite curious, where did you learn about this kind of thing, Isogen-kun?"

Intercolumnar cells.

The most taboo of Konoha.

To some extent, this exacerbated the demise of the Senju clan.

He didn't believe Mito would discuss such a dangerous matter with Isogen.

"I am the Axe King of Uruk. I can see through such a trivial matter as crickets with my clairvoyance," Isugen said disdainfully.

Orochimaru shook his head slightly.

It's that incomprehensible language again.

The entire ninja world is only so big; he'd never heard of a country called Uruk.

The two sides then began exchanging a series of technical terms regarding the research progress.

To clarify, using technical terminology doesn't exclude laypeople; it simply makes communication more convenient.

But this didn't stop Hyuga Hizashi from being completely bewildered, sweating profusely, and feeling like an unintelligent monkey in the laboratory.

Even though it's a family division, the training for the future head of the branch family is top-notch.

Orochimaru's communication with Isogen became increasingly rapid, and the light in his eyes grew brighter.

That's the look in someone's eyes when they see a kindred spirit.

"Are you also interested in research, Senju-kun?" he asked tentatively, holding a test tube in one hand.

"Technology is the ladder of human progress and a boon for lazy people. In a sense, any technological product is created by 'lazy people' for convenience."

"A very novel perspective," Orochimaru exclaimed.

There are very few people in the ninja world who can communicate with him on an intellectual level. It's rare to meet one, especially one who displays remarkable wisdom like Yuka Ichigen. This joy is like the first sip of ice-cold cola on a hot summer day, or like seeing Jiraiya being sent flying by Tsunade when you're bored.

In reality, the current level of scientific research at Wuxian is not even comparable to that of Orochimaru.

He relied on his powerful mind. Even ninjas need to learn knowledge. As his Yin-Yang attributes gradually improved, he did not forget his original intention and automatically dreamed back to his senior year of high school.

They did all sorts of things, from practicing problems to reading books.

In the end, he managed to cram a bunch of miscellaneous knowledge into his brain by relying on his powerful Yin attribute-enhanced memory, while his equally powerful Yang attribute provided a vast inventory of knowledge to contain.

Therefore, he is not only cooperating with Orochimaru, but also using Orochimaru's solid knowledge to accelerate his absorption of knowledge.

Orochimaru, you didn't expect this, did you? This is my path forward!

As time went on, this research reached its most crucial step.

He casually tossed Hyuga Hizashi out, and Igarashi and Orochimaru stared at the cells in the instrument that were about to be attached.

Inside the instrument, the Hyuga cell was quiet and still, like a well-behaved girl wearing white cotton socks, white shoes, a pleated skirt, her black hair tied in a side ponytail, and a strawberry hair clip.

Not far away, the robust Hashirama Cell strode arrogantly, whistling as he took large strides.

"Hey girl, I really like you."

Thank you, but I don't like you.

"Hehe, girl, you don't have a choice."

And so, the evil, dark-skinned sports student Hashirama cells reached out their wicked dribbling hands towards the soft, sweet, and tender Hyuga cells.

"The Hashirama cells are engulfing the Hyuga cells."

This reaction was exactly what Orochimaru expected; that's just how domineering Hashirama cells are.

"Why don't you take another look?"

One sentence was all it took to make a man turn back to me.

"It's about integration, it's about completion."

The sound of the fifty strings was light and gentle, but to Orochimaru it was like tears falling from the heavens, or the scorching red light of Danzo being blown to death.

Get started, check, confirm.

Because a ninja's body is a natural source of information, they would not easily reveal their information even to their own comrades in the same village.

While it's possible to obtain Hyuga cells through root-based methods, Hashirama cells have already proven their dominance. After Orochimaru conducted several experiments confirming that Hyuga cells would be devoured just like them, he stopped pursuing them.

After all, what the Root organization needs is combat power that can master Wood Release. Moreover, if the Hyuga cells could be compatible with the Hashirama cells, wouldn't that be quite awkward?

Knowing his teacher as he does, he certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

The ninja clans were already powerful, and the Hyuga clan was already a top-tier ninja clan. With their connection to the First Hokage's power, he couldn't even imagine how arrogant the Hyuga clan would become.

Ok?

Does the Hyuga clan only care about the Byakugan?

Do you think the Byakugan is the strongest?

Ask the clan elders if they agree.

"Complete".

Orochimaru thought the word was very interesting.

This is almost a blatant statement that the Senju and Hyuga have an intricate relationship.

This was an irresistible temptation for Orochimaru, whose interest in the unknown was growing ever stronger.

"Wujiro-kun, you know a lot."

Orochimaru's gaze toward Isogen revealed a scholar's thirst for knowledge and yearning for wisdom.

From the "high ground of intelligence," Isogen used his clairvoyant vision to suppress Orochimaru.

"A ninja of your rank has no right to interfere with my affairs."

The other party acknowledged your wisdom and talent, but questioned you as a person.

Orochimaru's lips twitched.

If my memory serves me right, I should be the highest-ranking person in this base, right?

Isogen saw through his thoughts and sneered three times: "You don't know that in Konoha, only commoners are the strongest, do you?"

"If we're talking about status, ninjas should indeed give way to civilians under normal circumstances," Orochimaru said noncommittally.

The relative status of the two can be determined by their strength, but unfortunately, the Will of Fire prevails in Konoha, and targeting the villagers is unacceptable.

and many more!

He suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Isugen with a bewildered expression.

Isogen shrugged: "Who says ninja academy students have to become ninjas?"

This person is so self-righteous.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

P.S.: I'm not gay! And definitely not a effeminate gay man!

It's all because when I was writing the book, I was upgrading Shuiyue in the warehouse and changing General Tao's swimsuit, and my mind wandered for a while.
