Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Lian Ye said with some emotion.

In the original work, Kakuzu boasted quite a bit about his achievements.

As for how much of it is true and how much is false, that remains to be seen.

Only he knew what happened back then.

Kakuzu: "..."

I have a feeling this guy is being sarcastic or mocking, but he can't come up with any evidence yet.

However, Lianye's words reminded him.

He can certainly boast to his juniors that he survived countless attacks from Konoha's poison masters.

That will definitely scare those silly kids senseless.

As for the reason for their survival?

I won't go into details.

Chapter 743 Orochimaru's Disciple

Orochimaru was very efficient and quickly replaced Nagato's eyes with normal ones.

As for the Rinnegan, which had no function, he casually threw it into the trash can.

If it weren't for Renya-sensei's objection, he would have already planned to get Nagato a pair of real shoes.

After seven years of research, Orochimaru had thoroughly studied the Rinnegan and was now ready to mass-produce it.

The only drawback is that it cannot use special abilities like the Otsutsuki.

Only basic skills such as Universal Pull and Divine Raid are available.

Orochimaru was very satisfied with this, which could be described as a groundbreaking development.

Even if the Otsutsuki clan invades in the future, the ninja world will still have the power to resist!

The Akatsuki members were lost in thought when they saw the Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan on one wall of the laboratory.

So this is the essence of Konoha Village?

Other countries simply don't have the opportunity to stage an accident!

Yahiko began to question the meaning of life.

Konoha Village is so powerful that other countries are definitely no match for it.

As long as Konoha can continue to crush other ninja villages with absolute power, war will never break out again.

What was the significance of him creating the organization?

"Master Uncle, are these eyes real?"

Yahiko asked, his voice trembling.

Orochimaru nodded, his eyes gleaming with pride.

"That's natural!"

These are all secret weapons that he has been researching day and night for years!

Although both the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan have flaws, he believes that the perfect eye will definitely be developed in the future!

By then, his name will surely resound throughout the ninja world.

"Master Uncle, you are amazing."

Xiao Nan's eyes sparkled with admiration for her senior apprentice whom she was meeting for the first time.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Orochimaru rarely showed a smile.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I need to continue my research."

Since the end of the war, Orochimaru has spent all his time in the laboratory, except when he was cooking for Kaguya Otsutsuki and the others.

There was absolutely no social interaction.

Previously, Tobirama-sama accompanied him in his experiments, but after Izuna Uchiha was resurrected, Tobirama-sama's mind was no longer on research.

Even without help, Orochimaru never gave up and continued his research day after day for decades.

Watching Yahiko and the others leave, he stared into the empty laboratory and fell into deep thought.

It seems he needs to find a smart disciple, otherwise sometimes he really can't handle everything by himself.

His gaze fell on the research data in the corner.

Those were materials that Teacher Renya brought from other dimensions, supposedly research materials compiled by Yakushi Kabuto from another dimension.

"Yakushi Kabuto".

Orochimaru murmured softly, then took off his white lab coat and, unusually, left the laboratory.

Konoha Welfare Home.

The orphanage director, Pharmacist Nono, is playing with the children in the yard.

She was a middle-aged woman, wearing her signature round-framed glasses, a simple gray robe, and her hair tied back. Her kind face showed a hint of weariness.

Since the development of Konoha Village, the living standards of the children in the welfare home have been getting better and better.

But she hopes that the children can be adopted by suitable families.

Just then, a tall, slender man with an effeminate air stood at the entrance of the orphanage.

He had long black hair, golden vertical pupils, purple eyeshadow, and pale skin.

The person who arrived was none other than Orochimaru, who had just left the laboratory!

"Lord Orochimaru, what brings you here?"

Pharmacist Nonou noticed the figure at the door, her voice filled with obvious surprise and respect.

She certainly knew Orochimaru, but she never expected such an important figure to suddenly visit the orphanage.

Orochimaru's gaze passed over her and landed on the children playing in the yard.

Some of the children were chasing and playing, some were playing in the sand, and some were swinging on swings, creating a scene of innocent joy and carefree fun.

His snake-like eyes narrowed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Lord Orochimaru?"

Yakushi Nonou asked cautiously.

"I want to adopt a child."

Orochimaru didn't turn around; his voice was hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Pharmacist Nonou's eyes lit up. Having worked here for many years, she knew best the plight of these children.

Although the welfare home provides good treatment, its resources are ultimately limited.

If a kind person could adopt the child and give him a real home, that would be the best thing ever.

"That's wonderful!" Yakushi Nonou smiled. "Lord Orochimaru is so kind. Let me show you the children. Our children here are all very well-behaved and sensible. Some are good at drawing, and some are good at singing..."

"no need."

Orochimaru shook his head, interrupting her.

Yakushi Nonou stopped in her tracks and looked at him with some confusion.

"The one I want to adopt is Kabuto Yakushi."

"pocket?"

She subconsciously repeated the name, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

But he quickly returned to normal, smiling and nodding.

"Please come with me!"

She turned around, led Orochimaru past the children playing in the yard, and headed towards a corner of the orphanage.

There was a tall old tree, and sitting under it was a boy with silver-gray hair, about four or five years old.

He sat there quietly, head down, reading a book, completely out of place with the surrounding noise.

Yakushi Nonou stopped and looked at the child from afar, her eyes filled with love and heartache.

"Dou is a very special child. He is smarter than other children. Sometimes I wonder if he is thinking about things that even we adults may not be able to understand."

She looked at Orochimaru, her voice trembling slightly.

"He's a good boy. Lord Orochimaru, please treat him well."

Orochimaru did not answer, but simply watched the small figure reading a book under the tree.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on Yakushi. As if sensing something, he slowly raised his head, looking in the direction of Orochimaru.

In that instant, two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, met each other from afar.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Orochimaru's lips slowly curved into a meaningful smile.

The pharmacists looked at the unfamiliar, cold-looking man, then at the dean standing beside him, and seemed to vaguely understand something.

He closed the book in his hand, gently placed it beside him, then stood up and lightly patted the dust off his clothes.

Then, he walked towards Orochimaru's direction.

In the courtyard, the children's laughter continued, and no one noticed what was happening in the corner.

The doctor walked up to Orochimaru and stopped.

He looked up and met those golden vertical pupils, and a childish yet calm voice came from behind him.

Are you here to take me away?

Orochimaru looked down at him, his smile deepening.

“Yes,” he said. “From today onwards, you, Kabuto Yakushi, are my…disciple, Orochimaru.”

Kabuto nodded, then turned and bowed deeply to Nono Yakushi.

"Dean, I'll come back to see you again when I have time!"

"This is my teacher's check. You can fill in the amount yourself."

Orochimaru took out a check and handed it to Yakushi Nono, then left without looking back with his newly recruited disciple.

The sun is still warm, the shadows of the trees are still dappled, and the children's laughter remains.

Only Pharmacist Nonou stared blankly at the blank check in her hand.

Chapter 744 Save your breath, this is what Lord Lianye ordered.

The residence of Hashirama Senju.

"Uncle Lianye!"

Lianye lay on the chair basking in the sun, and the familiar loud voice gave her a headache.

Why is Tsunade, who's never gambling at the casino, suddenly here with him?

"Xiao Gang, what can I do for you?"

"You're so biased!" Tsunade said, dissatisfied. "You gave Orochimaru a blank check, but not me and Jiraiya!"

If he hadn't met Orochimaru a couple of days ago, he wouldn't have known about this!

Lian Ye's lips twitched slightly. So this girl came here to ask for money!

Sure enough, no one visits the temple without a reason.

"The check Orochimaru has is for his experiments," Renya explained. "You and Jiraiya don't need to do experiments, so naturally you don't have a check."

Of the three disciples, only Orochimaru was easy to manage; the other two were truly complicated.
