Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"What are you going to do...with me?"

Zero Tail felt the seal on his body. His power was almost unusable under the restraint of the seal. Looking at the person in front of him who posed a great threat to him, he knew that if this person wanted to kill him, he would have no power to resist.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Zero Tail twisted its body restlessly. Even though it was just born, it still had the survival instinct that all living things have, and it wanted to live.

"How about signing a psychic contract with me? I need your cells for research. In exchange, I will provide you with the natural energy you need."

Orochimaru stretched out her hand, and natural energy condensed in her hand, taking the form of a very hazy mist.

"food!"

Zero Tail couldn't control his desire and pounced forward.

Orochimaru instantly activated Sage Mode, his body suddenly rose taller, and he caught Zero Tail's head with one hand. The white snake tail hit its chin, and its huge body tilted back and fell heavily to the ground. The laboratory above felt a strong shock.

The parasitic insects were frightened and returned to their nests.

"Orochimaru, what happened?"

Hinata Mio rushed in upon hearing the sound and saw Zero Tail lying on the ground in the smoke and dust, and Orochimaru with a white snake tail behind him.

"Nothing, I was just having a friendly conversation with Zero Tail."

Orochimaru said with a small smile, looking at the Zero Tail, he had not expected it to react so strongly to natural energy.

"Friendly...communication?"

Hinata Mio looked at the Zero-Tails lying on the ground, and then looked at Orochimaru who had entered Sage Mode. It didn't look like they were having a friendly conversation at all. Instead, it looked like Orochimaru was suppressing the rebellious Zero-Tails.

Food?

Orochimaru thought of what Zero-Tails had shouted when he pounced on him just now.

With the ability to absorb natural energy inherited from the Nine-Tailed Fox, it seems to be far inferior to the Nine-Tailed Fox, otherwise it would not have pounced on it just because of such a little bit of natural energy.

Is this the flaw of the artificial tailed beast?

No wonder when he had no self-awareness, he instinctively wanted to devour the Nine-Tails and become a true tailed beast?

So the question is, if the Nine-Tailed Fox is eaten by the Zero-Tail, will it be resurrected?

Or will it merge with Zero Tail?

"Calm down?"

Orochimaru looked at the Zero Tail that had coiled up and was watching her warily.

Zero Tail nodded. Orochimaru now felt even more dangerous to it, an existence it couldn't resist.

Nod? !

Hinata Mio looked at Zero Tail, who had gained self-awareness, in shock.

"So, what do you think of my proposal? Sign a contract with me, become my summoned beast, and assist me in my research. I will provide you with the natural energy you need."

It is impossible for Orochimaru to release the Zero Tail. Even if she released the Zero Tail, it might fall into the hands of others. Even if it is an artificial tailed beast, it is still a tailed beast. Once discovered, its fate is likely to be sealed in the body of a jinchūriki.

Just like the two Hokage advisors had intended, to use it as a weapon.

"I promise you."

Zero Tail lowered its head and agreed to Orochimaru's proposal. It realized that even if it disagreed, the person in front of it would not let it leave, and its situation would not change at all.

"Zero Tail, you made the right choice."

Orochimaru walked forward and signed a summoning contract with Zero-Tails, condensing Yin-Tun Chakra and Yang-Tun Chakra in his hands respectively.

"Liang Yi Seal: Release!"

Orochimaru slapped his hands on Zero-Tails' body.

Zero Tail twisted his body uneasily, and the sealing technique on his body quickly disappeared.

While removing the seal, Orochimaru was ready to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer the Zero Tail. Once the Zero Tail attacks her, she will seal it again and only treat the Zero Tail as an experimental subject, not as an intelligent life with self-awareness.

Zero Tail stretched out its body, coiled up its snake-like body, looked down at Orochimaru and said, "My name is Hollow. I don't like the name Zero Tail. I am not a tailed beast."

"Then, as you wish, Nothingness. You can also call me Orochimaru. I believe we will get along very happily in the future."

Orochimaru reached out her hand, trying to gather the natural energy in it, and saw the Hollow Body reach out a hand and place it on hers, as if shaking her hand.

"..."

Orochimaru looked at the void with a strange expression.

"Did I...do something wrong?"

Hollow asked cautiously, noticing the look on Orochimaru's face.

"I am gathering natural energy to feed you."

Orochimaru looked at the hand that Xuwu placed on his hand. The meaning was very clear. How can I condense natural energy with your hand placed here?

Upon hearing this, Xuwu quickly withdrew his hand and waited for Orochimaru to eat him like a snake-like dog.

Why are you so dog-like, snake?

Foxes are canines...

The Nine-Tailed Fox was created from a part of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Zero-Tailed Void...

Thinking of this, Orochimaru understood who the problem was.

Volume 131: Chapter : The Concept of Transforming the Earth's Grievances

Everyone has different chakra properties. Some people have one chakra property, some have multiple chakra properties, and some have no chakra properties...

Obviously, the latter are less than the former. In Orochimaru's impression, it seems that Rock Lee is the only one who has no chakra nature and cannot use ninjutsu, so he can only go the way of physical ninjutsu.

Might Guy can use ninjutsu, but he is not good at it. It’s not that he doesn’t have chakra. It’s probably because his talent is in physical skills.

If Rock Lee really has no chakra properties, he should be able to use ninjutsu that does not require property changes, which means that he is quite incompetent in controlling chakra to perform ninjutsu.

As a result, the three body techniques taught in the ninja school cannot be used.

If the transformation formula is engraved on a person's bones or blood vessels, can a person without chakra properties have different properties?

Orochimaru developed the five chakra conversion techniques of fire, wind, lightning, earth and water through the conversion technique of the sky ninja. He only needs to inject chakra into the conversion technique to perform the corresponding ninjutsu.

The only question is what kind of impact this kind of body modification will have on the human body and whether it will be life-threatening.

A notebook fell from his sleeve into his hand, and Orochimaru wrote down his inspiration at the moment.

Such an interesting thing, she must try it out after the cloning technology matures. Maybe she can mass-produce ninjas who can use the five types of escape techniques.

After Kakuzu used the Earth's Grudge, he no longer had the ability to change the nature of his chakra, and all the sources of his properties depended on the heart he obtained.

If a transformation formula were engraved on his masked monster or on his vascular tentacles, combined with the vitality of Zero Tail's cells, Kakuzu's only weakness would disappear.

Unless Ohnoki used Dust Release to completely decompose him into molecules, as long as there were any vascular tentacles left, he could regenerate and be resurrected through that part of the vascular tentacles.

This kind of vitality is too terrifying. If it really works, wouldn’t I have created a monster with my own hands?

Orochimaru looked at the vascular tentacles in the culture tank eager to try.

Monsters... really interesting. The thing this world has the most is monsters.

Just as Orochimaru was about to try out his idea, Hinata Mio came over.

"Orochimaru, it's almost time for you to go to ninja school."

When Hinata Mio thought about Orochimaru going to the ninja school to teach children, the expression on her face became a little subtle.

"Do you feel like laughing?"

Orochimaru stared at Hinata Mio's face.

"No."

Hinata Mio shook her head and looked away guiltily.

"I see you clearly want to laugh... Never mind, just laugh if you want to."

Orochimaru waved his hands indifferently and formed seals with his hands.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

boom--!

The smoke cleared, and a shadow clone appeared beside Orochimaru.

"Please, go teach those kids a lesson."

Orochimaru told his shadow clone that she had no interest in teaching the children in the Sealing Class.

"Is it possible that it would be better if we switched?"

The shadow clone had different ideas. The original body didn't want to teach the children, so as a shadow clone, she naturally didn't want to go either.

"What do you mean?"

Orochimaru looked at his rebellious shadow clone.

"When I teach those children, Grandma Mito will definitely be watching. What if she finds out that I am a shadow clone...what will be the consequences?"

The shadow clone patted Orochimaru's shoulder and persuaded him, "Original, you should go to class and I will stay to do the research. This is the best solution."

"You should go, you are more suitable."

Orochimaru used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send the shadow clone home, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the laboratory.

Hinata Mio stared blankly at Orochimaru who was scheming against his shadow clone.

Although this is not the first time I have seen how rebellious Orochimaru's shadow clones are, it is still incredible every time.

"Okay, now that the troublesome guy has left, Mio, let's move on..."

Before Orochimaru could finish his words, the figure disappeared, replaced by her shadow clone.

"Main body, have you forgotten that your shadow clone can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

The shadow clone put her hands on her hips, obviously she used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send the real Orochimaru away.

"It can be seen that you really don't want to teach those children."

Hinata Mio smiled and found this scene very interesting.

"Dealing with children is too troublesome. It's inevitable that you'll develop feelings for them after a long time. Once you have too many concerns, you'll easily get tripped up."

Orochimaru could probably guess what Grandma Mito was thinking. On the one hand, she might have known that the two Hokage advisors asked her to hand over the Zero Tail, and she wanted to use this method to shut the two Hokage advisors up.

On the other hand, Grandma Mito noticed that she didn't have much sense of belonging to the village, so she wanted to use this method to make her feel a sense of belonging to the village, right?

"Are you leaving Konoha?"

Hinata Mio had a feeling, she didn't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that Orochimaru wanted to leave Konoha.

"If I were to leave Konoha, what would you choose, Mio? Stay in Konoha? Or leave with me?"

Orochimaru asked in a joking tone. They had been together for quite some time, and she felt that there was a high probability that Hinata Mio would leave with her, but she also did not rule out the possibility that she would stay.

"I will leave with you. I am no longer a ninja of Konoha."

Hinata Mio said without any hesitation, as if any hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to herself.

No, you should at least hesitate for a moment... Your answer is too straightforward!

Orochimaru was surprised by the speed of Hinata Mio's answer, and was a little touched that his previous help to her was not in vain.

"Mio, let's do the experiment."

Orochimaru looked at the vascular tentacles in the culture tank. If the vascular tentacles could successfully fuse with the Zero Tail cells and obtain the vitality of the Zero Tail cells, then the next step of the experiment could be carried out.

On the other side, Orochimaru, as his true form, stood at the gate of the ninja school and sighed.

Why is my shadow clone different from others?

Is it because I'm too resistant to attending classes at the ninja school?

"Orochimaru?"

Kato Dan looked at Orochimaru standing at the gate of the ninja school and walked over quickly.

"It is you."
