I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 78 Forbidden Technique: Immortality! (Please continue reading)

Konoha, inside the secret study room.

In the dim candlelight, Orochimaru watched as a morbidly fanatical expression appeared on Maki's face, as if he had discovered some kind of continent, and he couldn't help but let out a hoarse laugh.

"Hehe, I see. Perhaps this ninjutsu can achieve the goal of immortality."

Just as Orochimaru was laughing in a sickly, hoarse voice, his snake eyes suddenly narrowed and looked towards the door. A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and Uchiha walked in. Looking at Orochimaru in the dimly lit study, holding a huge scroll with a sickly smile that seemed to indicate he hadn't had enough, Uchiha couldn't help but feel speechless.

For some reason, Orochimaru's research room was bright, tidy, and technologically advanced, but his study and bedroom were dark and cold, as if they were just trying to create a certain atmosphere.

"Hehe, it's Lord Ye. I wonder what good news you've brought this time?"

For a full year, the Konoha leadership has maintained a feigned ignorance, not uttering a word about electing the Fifth Hokage, as if they want to wait until the Third Hokage dies in that position before bringing it up.

Looking at Orochimaru-sensei, Uchiha Yoru smiled, slowly took out a scroll from his pocket, handed it over, and said with a smile, "Orochimaru-sensei, this is a ninjutsu that only the elites of the clan with three tomoe can master."

Uchiha ninjas with three tomoe are almost all Jonin-level, and their mastery of ninjutsu is extraordinary, encompassing a wide range of techniques including ninjutsu, genjutsu, and hidden weapons.

The Uchiha clan is known as the most prestigious clan in Konoha, and even the number one bloodline clan in the ninja world, and there's a reason for that. Almost every ninja who awakens the Sharingan is a perfect ninja with virtually no major drawbacks.

If you're an ordinary ninja, you'll need to spend a lot of time honing your taijutsu, genjutsu, and hidden weapons. But the Uchiha are different. With the Sharingan activated, their genjutsu skills skyrocket, and they can even counter genjutsu against genjutsu-type ninjas.

In terms of physical skills, they also have superb dynamic vision (observation ability). So even if their physical skills are slightly inferior, they will not only not be at a disadvantage with this kind of vision, but will also be able to find opportunities. As long as the gap is not too big, they can still fight.

Not to mention hidden weapons, with the Sharingan's enhancement, which one is weak? And ninjutsu, not to mention the Sharingan's copying ability at the three-tomoe level, the Uchiha clan is famous for its ninjutsu.

Therefore, every Uchiha ninja who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan was among the best of their class, which is why the ninja world had the consensus that anyone of the same level would flee in a one-on-one fight against someone with Sharingan.

"Hehe, it seems that the teacher should first congratulate Yoru-kun on the evolution of his Sharingan to three tomoe."

A hoarse laugh echoed in the study. Orochimaru licked his lips with great interest. His disciple had exceeded his expectations, evolving into the three-tomoe Sharingan in just one year. He was truly a genius.

Uchiha Yoru generously handed over all the clan's secret ninjutsu. Although it was a typical case of someone selling off their family's wealth without a second thought, it must be said that Orochimaru was pleased with this gesture.

Although Orochimaru was magnanimous, no one dislikes sincerity, especially when his disciple was able to set aside sectarian prejudices. It should be noted that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were traditional, old-fashioned noble families with deeply ingrained ideas that were difficult for anyone to break through.

"Teacher, I hope that the ninjutsu of our clan can inspire you."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru had a sincere smile on his face, as if he genuinely cared for Orochimaru, and the master-disciple relationship between the two became even more sincere.

Unrolling the scroll reveals various secret techniques of the Uchiha clan. While Orochimaru finds them impressive, they fall short of being considered truly precious, given that they belong to the Uchiha clan and are best suited for techniques enhanced by the Sharingan.

However, this kindness warmed Orochimaru's heart, who had experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and he couldn't help but reveal a hoarse smile.

"Night Lord, what do you think of the concept behind this ninjutsu?"

Seemingly anticipating that his disciple could always come up with unexpected viewpoints, Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh and generously pushed the huge scroll in front of him forward.

Uchiha was also very curious. When he saw the scroll filled with information, he was stunned. It seemed to be a ninjutsu that was under development and had not yet been successfully developed.

Sure enough, it was filled with all sorts of experimental records, followed by all sorts of ingenious ideas and tricks. After reading most of it, Uchiha Yoru's face immediately showed a look of shock.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru raised his head and looked at Orochimaru. The shock on his face was not an act at all; he was genuinely shocked by this incomplete ninjutsu.

When Orochimaru saw the shocked expression on his disciple's face, he also revealed a sickly smile and said hoarsely, "Yoru-kun, I was just as shocked as you when I first saw this information about the forbidden technique, but you read it carefully."

At this moment, Orochimaru's sickly smile was tinged with worry. He was concerned about how his disciple would react after seeing it—would he be angry and unable to accept it, or would he find common ground with him, or perhaps even develop the same pursuit as him?

Upon seeing this ninjutsu, the unrealistic desire he had been suppressing for so long instantly surfaced, and the idea of ​​its feasibility kept echoing in his mind! His pursuit was not wrong! Wasn't this the path he was on?

"This is it! This is it!"

After roughly reviewing the enormous scroll, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, revealing a look of shock. This was clearly a collection of forbidden technique test data.

"Hehe, Night Lord, what came to mind when you finished reading the information on this forbidden technique?"

At this moment, a rare look of anticipation appeared on Orochimaru's sickly face. He hoped that someone would accompany him on his lonely and unacceptable journey, but he also had a hint of fear of the world's rejection.

After all, the Orochimaru of today is not the Orochimaru of later generations who has severed everything and completely disregarded the eyes of the world.

He is still Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Under Orochimaru's hopeful gaze, Uchiha Yoru could not hide the shock in his eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words under Orochimaru's complicated expression. Upon hearing these two words, Orochimaru's expression froze.

"Immortality! This forbidden technique holds the hope for eternal life!"

At this moment, Orochimaru seemed to tremble with his very soul. Under his dazed expression, a single, crystal-clear tear appeared in the corner of his eye—a tear of understanding.

"Haha~"

Immediately afterward, Orochimaru's face broke into a morbid, maniacal laugh. His snake-like eyes stared aggressively at Uchiha Yoru. At that moment, he seemed to feel that he had found a like-minded companion, and he couldn't help but burst into a hoarse laugh.

"Night Lord! You've really surprised me!"

Orochimaru was completely excited and abnormal at this moment. If one did not know his true nature, they would probably be shocked by the scene in front of them, but Uchiha Yoru understood perfectly.
