Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Yamanaka Kei's lips curled into a faint smile.

The experiment was conducted using Yuuya Shiro En as the subject, and the experiment only officially began after he entered the experimental base.

Isn't this experiment obviously meant to be shown to him?

As a pawn secretly cultivated by Iwagakure, Miyajo En was a crucial witness to Iwagakure's turmoil in Kumogakure and its secret alliance with Kirigakure, making him extremely valuable to the higher-ups.

In just a few days, they managed to get this guy to be used for human experiments.

Orochimaru was subtly demonstrating to him his hidden influence over Konoha!

Judging from his act of gouging out Miyajo En's eyes, he did not have that extreme aversion to human experimentation.

Then......

They discovered the abnormality at the roots, but did not rush to take action.

Instead, they presented a fairly good research result, and through this behavior...

Exploring the possibility of cooperation?

Shan Zhongjing sighed inwardly, thinking that those who survived to the end were indeed all intelligent people!

He took out a palm-sized scroll of seals from his pocket and unrolled it.

Skip the first four sealing techniques.

One-handed hand seal.

Take out the Blood Dragon Eye stored in the fifth sealing spell.

Yamanaka Kei casually tossed the glass bottle containing the eyes to Orochimaru, who was standing nearby.

"What an enviable collection."

Orochimaru caught the small bottle containing the Blood Dragon Eye.

His tongue slid across the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing undisguised inquiry and covetousness.

The five sealing techniques contained at least five items.

Based on the normal way people organize their belongings, the first four items are very likely similar to the Blood Dragon Eye, but even more precious.

"It's just a few pairs of three-tomoe jade pieces. I'll show you something more surprising later."

Shan Zhongjing chuckled and casually put the scroll away.

"That's really something to look forward to, hehehe~"

Orochimaru let out a sinister laugh.

With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so pythons as thick as an arm emerged from his sleeve.

In an instant, he pulled Miyajo En from the blood-red cage to the edge of the cage and pinned him tightly to the pillar.

Open the small bottle in your hand.

Orochimaru took out two Blood Dragon Eyes and forcibly pressed them into the eye sockets of Miyajo En.

A vibrant green light shone from the Palm Immortal Technique in his palm.

In just a few dozen seconds, the initial connection of the visual nerves was completed.

The power of the Blood Dragon Eye has returned.

Miyajo En, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly had a large amount of blood-red chakra surge through his body.

A bloody, dark, and filthy atmosphere surged wildly.

The unknown power that constantly undulated on its body surface gradually began to merge with its body under the suppression of the Blood Dragon Eye!

......

Name: Orochimaru

Occupation: Ninja/Researcher

Entry: Extreme Researcher (Red), Mountain Chaser (Purple), One of the Three Ninjas (Purple), Forbidden Technique Master (Purple), Son of the White Snake (Purple), Exceptionally Talented (Purple), A Genius (Blue), Mentor (Blue), Cautious (Blue), Obsessive (White), Cold-blooded (White).

......

While Miyajo En was fusing his power with Orochimaru's, Yamanaka Kei was checking Orochimaru's entries one by one.

The term "Extreme Researcher" represents the ultimate enhancement of research ability, hands-on skills, and thinking ability. With such a talent, there are probably few things in the ninja world that Orochimaru cannot understand.

【Admiring the Mountain and Chasing the Wind】Greatly enhances personal will and combat ability. Because of admiration for the boundless power of nature, one wants to become the wind that drives the world forward.

[One of the Three Ninja] There's nothing to see here.

It's only natural that Orochimaru would be called a "Master of Forbidden Techniques."

The "Child of the White Snake" is a product of fate and software modification. It possesses snake affinity, physical regeneration, and a tenacious vitality comparable to a cockroach. This should be the prototype of the future Orochi technique.

【Exceptional Talent】Born with seven chakra natures, learns everything quickly and excels at everything, a true genius.

[Seeing the Truth and Recognizing People] Seeing through human nature and discerning the truth, [Mentor] enhances their teaching abilities, guides thinking, and strengthens brainwashing?

No wonder so many people follow you so devotedly; you're just taking advantage of people's weaknesses to fool them!

【Caution】Is this an entry about being cautious, having multiple burrows, thinking things through, and always leaving yourself a way out?

"Given the White Snake's child's tenacious vitality, no wonder it was so difficult to kill..."

Yamashita looked at Orochimaru thoughtfully.

Judging from the entry alone, this guy's current strength has probably already far surpassed that of Jiraiya and Tsunade, who are also among the Legendary Sannin.

Think about it.

If it weren't for the repeated use of the Reincarnation technique, which caused irreparable damage to his soul...

Orochimaru has no weakness to genjutsu.

The battle record in the original work wouldn't be ruined by a few Uchiha idiots.

"It's a very good piece of work, what do you think, Jingjun?"

Orochimaru looked at Miyajo En, whose half-body had turned into a pool of blood in the crimson cage, his eyes filled with hatred and fear, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Blood Dragon Eye, Hozuki clan bloodline, and... Explosion Release? A very good fusion idea."

Yamazuki glanced at the entry for Miyajo En.

Staring at the pool of blood that had turned into the other person's body, with blood bubbles constantly rising and bursting.

He casually offered a compliment.

He forcibly fused three bloodline limits using the Oni-Garuru technique, and while the fusion was successful, it wasn't entirely successful.

Still at the level of bloodline limit, unable to successfully cross the threshold of bloodline elimination.

It's a far cry from having a bloodline limit.

In the original work, the reason why Hiruko was so determined to fuse five bloodline limits at the same time was probably because he knew that only by accumulating enough of them could the final transformation be triggered.

"I wonder if Lord Jing would be interested in testing the strength of this collection."

Orochimaru turned to look at the mountain scenery, his golden snake eyes gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

"Do you think I have the capability to cooperate with you?"

With his arms crossed in front of him, Yamanaka Kei chuckled softly upon hearing this, tapped his arm lightly with his index finger, and cast a glance at Miyajo En.

Magical Paradise!

The immense spiritual energy mixes with the powerful chakra within the body to form the purest Yin Release energy.

He broke through Miyajo En's mental defenses almost instantly!

Miyajo En, whose face was originally full of hatred, froze.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he chuckled to himself and started counting on his fingers, one, two, three, four, five.

Snap~ Snap~ Snap~

"Kage's ability to turn Danzo into an obedient puppet is truly awe-inspiring."

Orochimaru clapped his hands lightly, his smile becoming even more genuine and unrestrained.

The Blood Dragon Eye was once a bloodline limit on par with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Enhanced by the fusion of bloodstains.

Miyajo En's eye power and mental strength probably already surpassed the three-tomoe Sharingan of the vast majority of the Uchiha clan.

The scenery in the mountains was hidden even more deeply than he had imagined!

But that's perfect!

A giant python will not associate with ants; the stronger its partners, the happier it will be!

and......

They've been hiding their talents for so long before finally showing their brilliance.

The stagnant waters of Konoha are about to be stirred by a giant wave!

"I've heard that Orochimaru has been pursuing immortality?"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Yamanaka Kei knew that the other party had only noticed the changes in the Root.

It is still unclear whether Danzo has been turned into a fool who can only say "abba aba".

Too lazy to beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point.

If we can reach an agreement on this matter...

He wouldn't mind directly pointing Orochimaru in the right direction, sharing intelligence and research findings, and living a longer and happier life.

But if we can't reach an agreement...

He would have to put in some effort to get Orochimaru to agree to the terms.
