"Human experimentation? Orochimaru's been doing that lately?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned slightly serious after hearing Jiraiya's words. He had previously thought that Orochimaru was somewhat withdrawn and practically impossible to find. He had originally intended to keep Orochimaru in the village as a support, but he never expected that Orochimaru would use human experiments to research ninjutsu.

"Yes, but old man, Orochimaru's human experiments all used death row inmates from various prisons in the Land of Fire, and he even bought them himself. I've already confirmed that."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was so serious that he even put down his pipe, Jiraiya quickly said something.

He didn't want any misunderstanding to arise because he was too slow to explain.

"A death row inmate? What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Jiraiya in an annoyed tone, "I was just about to call the Anbu."

Jiraiya then began to recount his experience of following Orochimaru. From the time he started tracking Orochimaru in the village until he left Orochimaru's research base, he had followed him closely, except for inquiring about Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave.

"I see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe again, and seeing that the fire was almost extinguished, he replaced the tobacco and lit it again. After a moment of silence, he said...

"Since he's a death row inmate, let's leave him alone. However, the Anbu didn't receive any news that Orochimaru brought people in. It's probably the security force that prepared for him."

Jiraiya asked in surprise, "Old man, aren't you going to talk about the human experimentation?"

"What are you talking about? If I'm talking about Orochimaru, then who's going to talk about the Second Hokage? The First Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said irritably, "If you had seen my teacher researching forbidden techniques, you wouldn't have had this thought. Besides, Orochimaru is right; he used death row inmates."

When the Second Hokage was researching forbidden techniques, the enemy village ninjas in Konoha prisons basically didn't survive more than a month. They would send out batches as soon as they entered. Otherwise, would all of the Second Hokage's forbidden techniques have been just figments of his imagination?

Although powerful forbidden techniques can affect a ninja's mentality, the same goes for researching forbidden techniques. However, if Orochimaru continues to bring up the Second Hokage, then Hiruzen Sarutobi, as his teacher, can't really say anything more about Orochimaru.

"Death row inmates are going to die eventually, Jiraiya. You've been a ninja for so many years, don't make such a fuss over this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reprimanded Jiraiya, saying that of the three students, he liked Jiraiya's personality the most, but sometimes he was a bit naive.

Moreover, he often does foolish things because of his naivety. For example, during the Second Shinobi World War, he stayed in an enemy ninja village to take care of war orphans. This infuriated Hiruzen Sarutobi. There were already many war orphans in Konoha. If he wanted to take care of them, he could have simply come back to do so.

Having done many things like this, all three of his disciples developed similar bad habits.

"Alright, as long as you think it's okay, I've told you everything. Oh, by the way, Orochimaru asked me to tell you to keep an eye on the village's genin who are participating in the Chunin Exams this time; they might surprise you."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and left. He planned to find an opportunity to invite Orochimaru for a drink, get him drunk, and then ask him some questions.

"Go through the door. You idiot."

Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped out of the window without looking back, angrily knocked his pipe twice, and then sat back down.

However, remembering what Jiraiya had just said, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but check on the Chunin Exams.

He took out a crystal ball and then used his telescope technique, which displayed the examination scene in the Death Forest.

"Huh? That's Asuma. They were fighting Team 8 for the scroll, and they got defeated?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened. He had seen Asuma train hard and master two Fire Release ninjutsu before the Chunin Exams, and Shinnosuke had said that their team had a great chance.

But I didn't expect to be eliminated so soon in the second round.

Although there are still two days left until the end of the second exam, the last two reels are not easy to find. If you can't snatch the reels from other people, you're basically out of the running.

"This person is... I remember he was a genin recommended by Root, a Wood Release user!?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi switched the crystal ball and was immediately shocked by what he saw: the Root genin suddenly unleashed a Wood Release ninjutsu, instantly killing the three grass ninjas.

No wonder Orochimaru told him to be careful during the Chunin Exams; Root actually has a Wood Release bloodline ninja. And could this be something Orochimaru developed?

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Danzo couldn't possibly have developed the Wood Release bloodline limit; even their teacher, the Second Hokage, hadn't been able to do so, so Danzo's Root was far inferior.

Orochimaru also enjoys researching ninjutsu, and in terms of human experimentation, he is very similar to the Second Hokage.

"It seems I need to have a serious talk with Orochimaru."

------------

Inside Longdi Cave.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A massive amount of chakra surged from Uchiha Yangyi's Wood Release clone, followed by a rumbling sound from the ground as a giant wooden dragon emerged and rapidly coiled around the stone mountain in front of it.

The enormous wood-elemental dragon quickly wrapped around the small rocky mountain, then tightened its grip, shattering the mountain within seconds.

Upon seeing this, Xin Ya's enormous snake eyes revealed a look of fear; this wooden dragon's coiling power was even stronger than its own, and this was only one of its master's clones.

On an open space not far from Ryuchi Cave, four more identical Wood Release clones were practicing Wood Release ninjutsu.

After three days of continuous practice of ninjutsu using wood clones, Uchiha Yoichi has now mastered most of the wood-style ninjutsu.

Aside from the True Several Thousand Hands and the Top Transformed Buddha, he had mastered all other Wood Release ninjutsu, including the Myojinmon.

If I encounter a Jinchuriki again on the battlefield, this Wood Release technique alone will be enough to defeat him.

While a perfect Jinchuriki can dispel Sharingan genjutsu, he cannot deal with Wood Release; if he transforms into his complete Tailed Beast form on the battlefield, Uchiha Yoichi can defeat the Tailed Beast using Wood Dragon Technique and Wood Human Technique.

Wood Release's chakra absorption techniques are too effective against tailed beasts.

Even if he doesn't fully transform into a tailed beast, even a half-tailed beast form wouldn't pose a threat to Uchiha Yoichi. He's a master of taijutsu, and with the insight of his Mangekyou Sharingan, the strength of a half-tailed beast form poses no threat to him whatsoever.

As for Uchiha Yoichi's true form, he didn't use it much on the first day before Ichikishima Hime-kyo had to use Sage Mode.

Previously, the chakra within his body was almost equivalent to Sage Chakra.

This greatly disappointed Princess Ichikishima. Uchiha Yoichi was the most delicious food she had ever seen in hundreds of years, but unfortunately she would never have the chance to taste it.

For the next three days, Uchiha Yoichi practiced Sage Art: White Strike Technique and Inorganic Reincarnation. One was for strong battlefield control, and the other was for strong battlefield killing; both were extremely powerful Sage Techniques.

These two Sage Techniques are extremely difficult to learn, and Princess Ichikishima didn't teach them very diligently. She hadn't taught anyone Sage Techniques for hundreds of years. Later, Uchiha Yoichi basically learned them by watching Princess Ichikishima use her Sharingan.

After watching Princess Ichikishima use the Sage Technique more than ten times, Uchiha Yoichi slowly learned how to do it.

"Celestial Art: White Rage Technique!"

A red chakra dragon was spat out by Uchiha Yangyi. The chakra dragon held a black bead in its claws. After flying far away, the chakra dragon instantly flew into the black bead, and then the bead emitted a bright light and a sound.

This intense sound is like ultrasound; without Sage Mode, one simply cannot withstand it. Moreover, even with Sage Mode, Uchiha Yoichi's eyes still need to avoid this intense light.

"I told you long ago that you had to accept the transformation of Ryuchi Cave. This kind of human Sage Mode won't work. It's fine if you use human ninjutsu, but without the Snake Eyes' cornea to block it, even the White Rush Technique will make you dizzy."

Princess Ichikishima floated to Uchiha Yoichi's side and said, "The perfect Sage Mode of the other two great holy lands only shows patterns on their faces, but the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave is different. Their Sage Mode should ideally show snake features."

"Without snake-eyed corneas, the white blood cell treatment is meaningless to you, so it's up to you to decide; it's just a matter of appearance."

"I'll think about it some more."

After glancing at Ichikishima-hime, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly asked, "What kind of snake is your true form?"

"I have no physical form; this is my true form!"

Princess Ichikishima put her hands on her hips and said, then snake-like features appeared on her face, but quickly reverted to her loli-like face, and continued...

"Now, apart from the White Snake Immortal, the three of us have already shed our snake bodies. In a few hundred years, we won't even have these features left on our faces."

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? It can turn a snake into a human body?"

"Don't be so naive, kid. When Ryuchi Cave existed, ninjutsu didn't even exist in this world!"

Princess Ichikishima spoke as if she were an adult. Although she was indeed a senior among seniors, her loli-like face gave Uchiha Yoichi a strange feeling.

"The three holy lands each inherited a certain ability. Our Dragon Cave inherited the ability of transformation. It's just a pity that the three of us don't have the perseverance of the White Snake Immortal. We only want to become human. If we want to become dragons, I don't know how many hundreds of years it would take."

Princess Ichikishima shook her head and said that her words reminded Uchiha Yangyi that before Kaguya Otsutsuki, there were also extraordinary powers in the ninja world, and the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Techniques were taught at Mount Myōboku.

He suddenly became interested in the extraordinary power from a thousand years ago, but Uchiha Yoichi knew that it would be difficult to find. Perhaps only the sages of the three great holy lands in the ninja world knew about it, but they certainly wouldn't tell him.

Princess Ichikishima was only a little over six hundred years old; she hadn't even been born a thousand years ago.

"Well, have you made your choice? If you don't change Sage Mode, then this Sage Art is no longer your concern."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi opened the strategy guide again and checked the favorability rating, which remained unchanged at around sixty.

If there's no ill intent, it's worth a try.

"Then let's give it a try."

Just as Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, Ichikishima Hime pounced into his arms. The sudden appearance of the loli snake startled him, but he quickly suppressed his movement.

However, he was sitting on the ground, and even if Princess Ichikishima rushed into his arms, she would be hunched over, highlighting the graceful figure of a young girl, especially her upturned petals, which resembled two perfect flower buds.

Princess Ichikishima opened her mouth, revealing the snake fangs hidden inside, and then bit him on the neck.

Uchiha Yang immediately felt another chakra merging into his neck.

After taking a bite, Princess Ichikishima said, "Enter Sage Mode."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi began refining his Sage Mode chakra. However, upon entering Sage Mode, he immediately sensed a change within himself.

His skin turned a little whiter, a single horn slowly appeared on the top of his head, and his control over Sage Chakra suddenly became more skillful, even able to condense Sage Chakra into various snake shapes outside his body.

"How about that? If you had hesitated just now, you wouldn't have gotten this benefit. Not only would you have lost the White Rush Technique, but you wouldn't have even gotten this benefit~"

"Is this what you meant by the changes in the Ryuchi-dong tradition?"

Uchiha Yoichi controlled his Sage Chakra, then formed a hand seal and used Inorganic Reincarnation.

The hard ground instantly turned into a swamp, and then dozens of giant pythons that had transformed from mud sprang up from the ground and returned to the swamp like carp leaping out of the water.

After Uchiha Yangyi finished the Inorganic Reincarnation, the giant python that had leaped out suddenly transformed into a hard stone statue, but it was so lifelike that even the snake scales on it were clearly visible.

He had never felt that Inorganic Reincarnation would be so easy before, but now Uchiha Yoichi felt that he could use Inorganic Reincarnation to bind the Tailed Beasts.

Princess Ichikishima, hands on her hips, asked with a smug look on her face, "How was it?"

"Very good, I'll send you a few another day."

"I don't eat those kinds of humans, but if you've cultivated Immortal Mode..."

"Then don't eat it. You won't starve to death if you don't eat."

Uchiha Yang interrupted him, saying that it was fair for each person to interrupt once; besides, he was just being polite and didn't really intend to give it away.

"You bastard."

Princess Ichikishima angrily lunged forward, wanting to bite Uchiha Yoichi a few times.

However, Uchiha Yoichi was still in Sage Mode, and his perception and Sage Techniques were much stronger than before, so he instantly noticed Ichikishima-hime's actions.

He then used Inorganic Reincarnation to control the ground, extending several stone chains to bind the charging Ichikishima-hime.

"You just taught me magic, now I'll teach you a lesson: never trust humans again."

Uchiha Yoichi noticed that Ichikishima-hime was trying to break free, so he slapped the delicate petals below the loli snake's waist several times as a lesson, and you could even see the obvious ripples.

Then Uchiha Yoichi said to Shinya, "Shinya, release the Reverse Summoning Technique."

Upon hearing the order, Shinya immediately released the Reverse Summoning Jutsu and sent Uchiha Yoichi back to Konoha Village.

At that moment, Princess Ichikishima broke free of her stone chains and saw Uchiha Yoichi, who had already returned to Konoha. She immediately shouted angrily at Shinji, "Are you an idiot? I told you to send him back!"

"I obey my master's orders. Why are you being so talkative? I'll eat you alive!"

Shinya wasn't in a good mood either, and completely ignored Ichikishima-hime, climbing straight back to his snake hole.
