Madara, let's change the world together!

"There's news about the Child of Prophecy."

Ok?

Did the Great Toad Sage know beforehand?

"In my dream, I didn't know whether the person was male or female, and I couldn't even see their face clearly."

"But there is one piece of definite information—"

"Rinnegan!"

Rinnegan!

Jiraiya immediately tensed up; these were the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, and they really did exist.

But the legends don't mention the Rinnegan's abilities, so what should we do?

"Recently we learned that the person who possesses the Rinnegan is related to someone."

"He is someone you know very well."

The Great Toad Sage looked down at Jiraiya, whose face was serious, and told him the information he had obtained from the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave.

"His name is Kiyoi Gen, and he has a close relationship with someone who possesses the Rinnegan."

!!!

and many more!

Does this mean that Genji has a very deep connection with the prophesied child who will bring unimaginable disaster and change to the ninja world?

"Little Jiraiya, what Grandpa means is for you to investigate the people around Kiyoi Gen and find the person who has the Rinnegan."

"He will be the key to future disasters."

Jiraiya pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Is it because this person with the Rinnegan wants to start a war?"

"No"

The Great Toad Sage hesitated for a moment before explaining.

"Because he is the key to the resurrection of the divine tree."

The sacred tree?

This is the first time I've heard this word.

"The Divine Tree also has another name—Ten-Tailed!"

"It is a monster that is never satisfied, constantly drawing energy from the earth to strengthen itself."

"In the past, the Ten-Tails destroyed countless places, causing damage to regions such as the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, and also shattering large landmasses in the Land of Water."

"It is the most terrifying weapon, capable of easily destroying a country from thousands of miles away."

"If it weren't for the Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails could have wiped out all of humanity in the world."

"We absolutely cannot allow the Ten-Tails to be resurrected!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiraiya's eyes widened and his fists clenched.

Reviving such a dangerous tailed beast would be a disaster for the ninja world!

"The Ten-Tails needs to collect all nine tailed beasts to be revived."

“You can also investigate from this perspective.”

"Jiraiya, go find the person who has the Rinnegan."

"Be very careful, those who possess the Rinnegan are far more powerful than you think."

Jiraiya nodded, a sense of responsibility welling up inside him once again.

For Konoha!

He will stop this disaster!

The next second, he found himself back in the izakaya, with the hotel owner looking at him.

"Sir, would you like to settle the bill first?"

As Jiraiya was once again driven by heavy responsibilities, Orochimaru was astonished by the technology within the research institute.

A chakra-electric energy system and various technologies built upon it that are far more advanced than those in other parts of the ninja world;

A cell-enhancing solvent that surprised him with no negative effects;

Its further development into illusion magic can be described as a realm of illusions within the spiritual world.

Too much!

There are just too many research projects being conducted simultaneously within this research institute!

Civilian technologies that can be widely adopted and facilitate daily life and production;

Military technology that empowers the entire army through the strength of its individuals;

There was also the exploration of new fields and research directions that he had never even considered.

For the first time, he experienced frustration in his research.

Even the technology in the biological field here is far more advanced than his, especially in medical research, where they are leagues ahead.

Tsunade married Gen Kiyoi, so could she have been involved in this part of the research?

"Shhhhhh!"

Orochimaru was browsing through biological knowledge in the huge library, his expression no longer showing the ease he had before, but rather horror.

"Hey, do you know how barren your brain is?"

Beside him, Sasori, dissatisfied that his research time had been taken up, mocked Orochimaru, as if he had forgotten what he was like when he first came to this library.

"Orochimaru, it's more convenient to browse electronic documents."

“Our research institute has built a data center, and all data can be accessed through the network here.”

"The equipment is also unmatched by any outsider."

Yu also suggested this.

"It's more intuitive not to look at these things."

Orochimaru's fingers traced the words on it, his expression solemn.

If he hadn't been holding these books, he would have thought that all this knowledge was just empty talk, something he had imagined.

After seeing these books, he realized something—

One person's strength is truly insignificant.

According to Yuya, the Research Institute of Technology (RIIT) has only been established for thirty years.

The research was not fast at first, but the research speed increased nearly a hundredfold when the team grew from a dozen people to several thousand.

With the high-quality materials, ample funding, and clear experimental directions provided above, their research rarely encounters bottlenecks, and they achieve small breakthroughs every day.

Step by step, we have achieved such tremendous results.

For the first time, Orochimaru's resolve wavered.

How long will he have to live to learn all that knowledge?

Even if he were to live forever, new technologies would be born and new knowledge would be created here every day.

I'm afraid I'll never finish learning it.

Not to mention when the number of researchers here grows to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions.

It seems that even he can only stand at the forefront of two or three fields at most.

Humans are so weak.

"Hey!"

"Aren't you skilled in biology and forbidden ninjutsu?"

Sasori looked at Orochimaru and pointed to a location.

"That contains all the ninjutsu that Kiyoi Gen has created so far."

Created ninjutsu?

Orochimaru carefully placed the book he was holding back on the bookshelf, and then went to the place Sasori had mentioned.

The number of books included here is significantly less than the number of books in the previous biology category, but it is still quite a lot.

Life skills ninjutsu, production skills ninjutsu, combat skills ninjutsu

Orochimaru picked up some books at random and started reading. Most of them were ninjutsu with the lowest learning difficulty, and many of them had commonalities. Those with good talent could easily master them.

etc.

He quickly flipped through the book in his hand, frowning.

These ninjutsu techniques are all very basic, but the underlying principles they represent are far from simple.

If he were to thoroughly study these ninjutsu techniques, it should help improve his existing forbidden techniques.

Master of Ninjutsu Research

Orochimaru developed a new impression of Kiyoi Gen.

Admittedly, this research institute did attract him.

He preferred staying here to conduct research rather than focusing on matters concerning the ninja world.

Chapter 284 Gradually Making Preparations

Unsurprisingly, Orochimaru agreed to join the Research Institute and focus on the fields of biology and ninjutsu.

Although he is capable enough to serve as the head of a research lab, Orochimaru still needs to study for a while before he can join the top biological research lab at the Research Institute of Technology.

Kiyoshi doesn't interfere with most of the rules within the Research Institute of Technology; he only sets up areas where research is prohibited and specifies the major technological directions for future breakthroughs.
