However, he did not want to be driven out of Konoha by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I don't want this position, so what's the point of you actively driving me away from Konoha?"

Orochimaru thought to himself.

Moreover, once Orochimaru leaves Konoha and loses Danzo's "sponsorship," many of his experiments will require more time and money to find materials. This would undoubtedly be a waste of his precious time.

"It's not too late for you to back out now, Orochimaru-kun."

Uchiha Sho sighed. Although he knew Orochimaru's ambitions had shifted, he still tried his best to persuade him.

"With your and my strength and prestige, it would not be difficult for you to forcibly ascend to the position of Fourth Hokage."

Uchiha Sho understood that although he had promised Tsunade that he would not compete for the position of Fourth Hokage, he had not said that he would not help others.

What if Orochimaru changes his mind?

Once Orochimaru decides to vie for the position of Fourth Hokage, Danzo will definitely give him his full support.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and others will most likely remain neutral.

In addition, with the various ninja clans that Uchiha Ei had connected with in the Security Department, and Orochimaru's prestige accumulated over the years, they were fully capable of competing with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In all calculations, Orochimaru becoming the Fourth Hokage would undoubtedly be the most advantageous position for Uchiha Eiji.

If the two of them join forces, they can completely stand against Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha Elders, and jointly seize power in Konoha.

Instead of being a puppet like Minato Namikaze when he became the Fourth Hokage in the original work, Minato Namikaze ultimately lacked the necessary foundation.

If given some time, Minato Namikaze could gradually reclaim the power of Hokage by virtue of his noble cause.

Unfortunately, he had a "filial" disciple, Uchiha Obito.

While his master's wife, Kushina Uzumaki, was giving birth, he used his Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and launched the Nine-Tails' rampage in Konoha.

This led to the death of Kushina Uzumaki, the suicide of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and Naruto Uzumaki becoming an orphan.

However, Uchiha Sō knew that all of this was just wishful thinking on his part.

Orochimaru's personality determined his fate; he was not someone who wanted to be bound by power struggles.

"Forget it, Elephant, you know my ambitions lie elsewhere."

Orochimaru looked around the laboratory, a hint of melancholy and reluctance appearing in his eyes.

"Take any materials you like from this lab. I can't take them with me anyway, so I'd rather give them to you than let those commoners benefit from them."

Looking at Orochimaru's somewhat forlorn figure, Uchiha Ei couldn't help but feel a strange sense of emotion welling up inside him.

He knew that he would never be able to persuade Orochimaru.

"Alas! Orochimaru-kun, may you rest in peace."

Uchiha Sho sighed helplessly.

Personality determines destiny. Since Orochimaru has made his choice, he must take responsibility for it.

As Orochimaru left, the immense and gloomy chakra that filled the laboratory slowly dissipated.

Uchiha Xiang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of Orochimaru, the cold-blooded one of the Legendary Sannin, this guy's strength is definitely at the level of a Kage."

In addition to his mastery of various forbidden techniques and bizarre ninjutsu, even Uchiha Sō wouldn't dare say he could definitely defeat him in his current state.

After all, Orochimaru is currently at his peak and has not yet undergone the Reanimation Jutsu, which has caused his soul to be damaged and made him vulnerable to genjutsu.

Uchiha Sho secretly plotted to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly collect precious bloodline limit materials such as Wood Release, Byakugan, and Sharingan.

After all, once Orochimaru leaves Konoha, these materials won't be so easy to collect.

At the same time, he carefully erased all traces of himself that he had left in the laboratory.

He didn't want anyone to know that he had been here, and he didn't want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble because of this.

Chapter 69, Elephant: Orochimaru, "Shared Data"

On the day Uchiha Elephant returned to Konoha, the Konoha Police Chief, unusually, decided to take an early shift and left before 4 PM.

Having received Orochimaru's "sponsorship," he had a new idea, or rather, a new approach.

The fact that the upgrade of the Yin-Yang Space was stalled due to physical reasons has exposed many problems.

At the same time, it also made him understand some of the characteristics of the Amaterasu technique in his left eye.

While it can identify the internal evolutionary conditions of the target, it cannot reveal them if the target's external environment is restrictive.

Take the Great Paradise of the Right Eye (Yomihirapo) as an example. Amaterasu only found the conditions for Yomihirapo to evolve, but Uchiha Zō's original body was not enough to withstand the evolved Yomihirapo, causing its evolution to be blocked. This was completely outside the scope of Amaterasu's deduction.

To solve this problem, we must address its root cause.

In short, it means continuing the plan to complete one's bloodline.

From Plan 1.0, which aimed to complete the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, to Plan 2.0, which aimed to complete the bloodline of Hagoromo Otsutsuki (the Sage of Six Paths), and then to Plan 3.0, which aimed to complete the bloodline of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

This allows him to possess the chakra of seven attributes and fuse them into one, creating a Bloodline Limit that surpasses Bloodline Limits and Bloodline Elimination.

Currently, although Uchiha Zō can perform ninjutsu of multiple attributes, it is only by utilizing the changes between attribute chakra.

It is itself the Yin Release and Fire Release chakra of the Uchiha clan.

To use ninjutsu other than these two attributes, he first needs to transform his chakra into the corresponding attribute through attribute transformation before he can use the corresponding ninjutsu.

It's not that he inherently possesses that type of chakra.

For example, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the ninjutsu expert, was proficient in many of the five elemental ninjutsu, but that doesn't mean he possessed all five elemental chakra simultaneously.

Logically speaking, Uchiha Zou's idea was almost impossible to achieve.

Because in the current ninja world, whether it is the Senju and Uzumaki who inherited the physique of the Sage of Six Paths, or the Uchiha who inherited the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, their genes have changed a lot after so many years of reproduction.

There is absolutely no way to identify which of these numerous gene fragments belong to the Sage of Six Paths.

However, on the way back to the village, Uchiha Sho came up with an idea that seemed almost like a fantasy.

If this idea can be realized, then he can completely control the Bloodline Limit based on himself and give birth to a brand new "Otsutsuki Bloodline".

However, to realize this almost fantastical idea, he needs to make a great deal of preparations. Many aspects of this are still just in the realm of imagination, and whether they can be achieved remains to be seen...

Orochimaru's "sponsorship" only strengthened this possibility.

Staring at the long, densely packed list he had compiled, Uchiha Sho couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Leaving aside the completion of Bloodline Completion Project 3.0, the Starry Sky Otsutsuki Bloodline Completion, even just the Bloodline Completion Project 2.0, the Six Paths Sage Bloodline Completion, still lacks some of the necessary equipment, instruments, technology, and materials.

This was only possible because he, as the head of the Konoha Police Department and the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, had accepted Orochimaru's "sponsorship".

If it were someone else, this plan would be almost impossible to complete.

"To realize this vision, my skills alone are not enough."

Setting the list aside, Uchiha Sho rubbed his temples.

The Bloodline Completion Project 2.0 alone requires even more talent to join, not to mention Bloodline Completion Project 3.0.

It seems that the communication with Orochimaru cannot be stopped.

When he defected, we had to help him out and do him a favor!

The laboratory that Orochimaru previously "sponsored" for him was a laboratory focused on bloodline gene observation, with only simple gene extraction equipment.

Uchiha Zō used this laboratory to observe, study, and screen the genes of many Uchiha bloodlines.

The entire laboratory is not equipped for large-scale live animal experiments.

This is why Orochimaru noticed the changes in Uchiha Zou long ago, but did not suspect that Uchiha Zou's Sharingan research had made a major breakthrough.

In Orochimaru's scientific view, any experimental result is the result of countless failures piled up.

Therefore, he did not believe that Uchiha Zang could skip the most crucial step of live experimentation and succeed on the first try.

Of course, all of this can be attributed to Orochimaru's lack of knowledge that the Uchiha clan's bloodline originated from Indra, the son of the "Sage of Six Paths," Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's mother was Kaguya Otsutsuki, the "ancestor of chakra".

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the external manifestation of gene fragments after the Rinnegan degenerated.

Moreover, the probability of Uchiha Elephant surviving genetic recombination during the Uchiha Bloodline Replacement Project is extremely low.

Even now, looking back, he feels lingering fear for his past recklessness.

Afterwards, he also estimated the probability.

Given his mediocre talent, to activate all the special Yin Release genes of the Uchiha clan that he discovered and awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would need to endure ten gene recombinations.

Even with thorough preparation and the added soul power of the transmigrator, each genetic recombination was still a brush with death.

Others might manage to survive ten attempts, but the success rate is almost less than one percent.

If Uchiha Zangetsu succeeds, it's like winning the lottery.

It's also possible that his strong obsession with not being relegated to a supporting role after his transmigration resonated with his Yin Release chakra genes, creating this miracle together.

Of course, one such life-or-death gamble is enough.

Even the best swimmers can drown; good fortune will not always favor them.

Therefore, he would no longer gamble with his own life. He would conduct thorough research and numerous live experiments before using any of his future experiments on himself.

Previously, there was no other way. With the Third Shinobi World War imminent, if he didn't awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, the probability of Danzo's Root faction targeting him, an orphan of the Uchiha clan, during the war was too high.

Even if he is of some use to Orochimaru, it is impossible to expect Orochimaru to be his bodyguard.

After all, even Orochimaru's disciple, Tsunade's younger brother, Senju Nawaki, died on the "battlefield".

Thinking of this, Uchiha Eiji took out the Wood Release bloodline gene fusion scroll he had obtained from Orochimaru and recorded some data and insights from his fusion with the Uchiha Yin Release bloodline gene on the scroll.

Anyway, the matter of bloodline gene fusion can be kept secret from others, but not from Orochimaru!

Since he wants it, let Orochimaru study the Wood Release bloodline fusion problem properly.

At that time, by combining his own research and exchanging ideas more with both sides, they can more quickly overcome the challenge of fusing the human body gene with the human eye gene.

Chapter 70, Xuan Qing, the "Beast Lord Under His Crotch"

Moreover, Uchiha Sō had promised to share the valuable resource of experimental data with Orochimaru.
