Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

"Don't just make promises without any actual results. However, your puppets are well made. They can produce such a level in a short time..."

Orochimaru looked at the extremely agile puppet snake beside him.

This puppet snake is not very sophisticated in terms of craftsmanship, but Jing Yan has completed its creation in such a short time since he came back, which is remarkable in itself.

not to mention.

This thing is actually usable!
Jing Yan said: "Can special flesh and blood be used for supply?"

"Let's make the armor first. According to your idea, the flesh and blood are the core and battery, and the armor is the circuit and veins. If these two can be combined to achieve the effect you said, then the puppet can be assembled."

Orochimaru said.

Jingyan nodded.

"Well, that's my idea too. I'll combine machinery and puppetry to create a new type of puppet. As for other ideas, I'll integrate and perfect them myself..."

"Here, I have found a good child for you."

Kyohiko reiterated.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and looked at Kyohiko with some surprise, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"real or fake?"

After eating too much bread, I gradually stopped believing in it.

This is the state Orochimaru is in now.

This guy has no output and only makes money. He thinks of himself as a laborer.

He felt that if he raised a child one day, Jingyan might abduct him the next second.

Jingyan said: "Yakushi Kabuto, a child adopted by Nono-senpai back then, he has a very high talent in medical ninjutsu, is also very interested in research, and has good talent."

"Pharmacist Kabuto..."

Orochimaru recalled for a moment, and a piece of information gradually emerged in his mind.

He squinted.

"A child found near Kikyo Mountain?"

"Correct."

Jingyan nodded.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't you afraid that he is a descendant of the Sand Village?"

"What are you afraid of? Sooner or later, the Sand Village will be ours!"

Jingyan replied calmly.

Orochimaru laughed softly and said, "Let me help you train?"

"He is indeed a genius. I am currently planning to go back and team up with Shisui. If you are interested, I will let him assist you with some research work after he has been familiar with the hospital for a while."

Jingyan answered.

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Have you gone to the hospital yet?"

Look at it this way...

A genius indeed.

Kabuto Yakushi is only six or seven years old now, but he can enter Konoha Hospital for internship. It is obvious that his foundation and knowledge accumulation are very solid.

"He has been following Nono-san since he was a child and started reading medical books at a very early age."

Jingyan nodded.

The current trajectory of Kabuto Yakushi is quite different from his original trajectory.

He did not receive any training from the Root organization at all. He received more education from Nono, Asami and the orphanage. When he was five years old, he entered the Konoha Ninja School, and his grades improved by leaps and bounds.

Apart from Shisui, the second most talented person in Konoha Ninja School is Kabuto Yakushi.

Orochimaru finally showed a hint of interest.

He licked his lips.

"It's not good for you to take all the good seedlings away by yourself, and you have to take into account the interests of many parties. Jingyan Jun, you should leave this child to me!"

Orochimaru's eyes showed excitement.

……

Konoha Hospital.

"Kou, help them take care of their wounds. They must be injuries from training..."

"Yes!"

Pharmacist Kabuto walked over meticulously, made hand seals, and performed spells, quickly completing the treatment of the injury.

There were five people in total, and he quickly dealt with them one by one.

"Shizune, you're already teaching students now? Not bad!"

"No, Dou is just doing an internship here. Everyone is very busy, and I am the only one who has some free time, so I took him around and taught him some basic fighting skills."

Shizune replied with a smile.

"Hahaha, let's go first."

"You walk slowly."

Shizune nodded.

After sending the people away, she looked down at Pharmacist Kabuto.

Seeing his bored expression, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is what working in a hospital is like. Most of the time, we deal with basic injuries or perform medical experiments on animals."

"Medical experiment?"

A strong excitement suddenly appeared on the face of the pharmacist, "Can I participate?"

"For now, I'm afraid not!"

Shizune laughed dryly.

experiment……

Sorry, I'm not eligible to participate!
Shizune was about to answer when a cold man's voice came from the other side of the door.

"You want to do an experiment?"

"Yes."

Yakushi Kabuto answered.

Shizune's face froze.

This is……

Lord Orochimaru?
She immediately stood up and was about to say hello when the other party walked into the door, smiled and said, "Jingyin, I want to talk to him alone, is that okay?"

"Of course, you're welcome."

Shizune nodded.

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi with excitement in his eyes.

He walked forward and took the pharmacist to the courtyard outside the house.

"Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know your identity, but you should be the one who spoke before."

Yakushi Kabuto answered intelligently.

Orochimaru smiled.

"good."

He tilted his head and looked at Pharmacist Kabuto.

"You are over six years old. Normal children of this age are still learning the basics of Konoha. Why do you want to enter the laboratory?"

"Why do you want to?"

Yakushi Kabuto was stunned for a moment, a puzzled look appeared on his face, "Why do you need to ask? I want to study medical ninjutsu, I want to know more secrets, I want to know more things that are not in the books!"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled softly, and then laughed twice.

"what happened?"

Kabuto Yakushi knew how to observe and knew that Orochimaru’s smile was not a sign of anger, but rather joy and happiness.

He was puzzled.

but……

I have a vague feeling that something good is about to happen to me.

Orochimaru smiled in a low voice: "Nothing, just thinking of a friend. So, what is your ideal?"

"ideal?"

Pharmacist Kabuto thought for a while and shook his head slightly.

He paused suddenly.

"My dream is to become a medical ninja like Hokage-sama?"

"This is not your wish, it should be the expectation others put on you. Think about it carefully."

Orochimaru suppressed his excitement in his eyes.

He feels...

The young man in front of me is similar to him!
Have similar pursuits and talents.

Yakushi Kabuto was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "For me, this kind of thing is too far away. I just want to protect everyone and take good care of everyone in the orphanage..."

“Maybe this is what I want.”

Yakushi Kabuto told the truth.

Orochimaru nodded slightly and then smiled.

"If you want to protect everyone, it's not enough to just have strong medical skills. Sometimes, your medical ninjutsu can't help you protect everyone."

Kabuto Yakushi looked at Orochimaru with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, but soon his expression relaxed and a respectful look appeared on his face.

"You are right, but I am not capable enough. I can only study medical ninjutsu and provide limited contributions."

His cover-up was too obvious to Orochimaru.

however.

At this moment, Orochimaru's admiration became even stronger.

This child is smart, talented, and has strong enough self-control and adaptability.

These are the qualities you need most during the research process!

but.

At this moment, he couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Then, Orochimaru looked into the distance.

"When your relatives, friends, and children fall in front of you, you will feel helpless and hopeless. This has happened to many people, including me."

When Orochimaru said this, his expression darkened slightly, and then he sighed softly.

"In this life, whether we are protecting important people or ourselves, we are fighting against death, so my goal is to transcend death and become immortal!"

After saying that, his figure dissolved into soil. "Think about it carefully. Also, I have one more task for you. On the battlefield, how should a medical ninja protect himself? Next time, I will ask."

"Yes!"

Yakushi Kabuto maintained his bowing posture.

After waiting for a long time, he straightened up and pushed up his glasses.

this……

In his mind, he quickly pondered the other party's identity.

Judging from Shizune's attitude, the other party is definitely not an ordinary person. Moreover, he rarely appears in the village and Konoha Hospital, so his strength and status must be very high.

Pharmacist Dou pieced together a lot of information and a title quickly flashed through his mind.

Three Ninjas.

The current Hokage is Lady Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas, and Jiraiya seems to be traveling outside, so there is only one person who meets the above conditions.

Orochimaru!
He took a deep breath, and was excited at first, but soon calmed down.

This gentleman is indeed of high status, and his abilities and wisdom are extraordinary. He is one of the best in Konoha. Judging from his intentions, he seems to be planning to cultivate himself.

But at the moment, he couldn't be sure what exactly Orochimaru wanted him to do.

"ideal."

"Medical ninja, how do you protect yourself?"

Pharmacist Dou was full of doubts and slowly walked back to Jingyin's room.

Shizune is treating the wounded.

Kabuto had something on his mind so he didn't participate. Instead, he was thinking about the topic left by Orochimaru.

After waiting for a while, Jingyin had already treated several wounded people, and he didn't even notice her coming to him.

Shizune frowned and asked quietly, "What did Lord Orochimaru ask you to do?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing, just let me think about how a medical ninja should protect himself on the battlefield."

Yakushi Kabuto answered.

Shizune sat down and smiled as she talked about the principles of medical ninja.

Of course Kabuto knew these principles and regulations, but he didn't think this was the answer Orochimaru wanted to hear.

He thought for a moment and said, "Senior Jingyin, I want to read some books next door. If there is a mission, I will come here immediately."

"can."

Shizue knew that the other party just wanted to think quietly.

She did not refuse.

The pharmacist went to sit next door, and many factors emerged in his mind.

Regulations, principles...

This is just the basics.

If you are not strong enough, you must first master the ability to analyze the situation, and then reduce your own presence as much as possible to make yourself inconspicuous.

A medical ninja who attracts attention will often die quickly on the battlefield.

Then, in terms of ability, we have to make up for it through other means...

He took out a pen and a notebook from his pocket and started writing quickly.

Outside the window, a small snake quietly crawled in through the gap, hid above the cabinet, and watched his every move from top to bottom.

……

"How about it?"

"not bad!"

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth raised slightly.

Jingyan was speechless.

"My puppet parts, I mean."

"Ok?"

Orochimaru's gaze returned to the present, then he looked at the huge arm in front of him, paused slightly, with a look of amazement in his eyes.

This is a wooden arm.

but.

All of its materials come from trees transformed from Hashirama's cells.

Tough and strong.

even.

Have vitality!
This thing is quite superfluous to Jingyan, and it may be destroyed in just a few punches, but for ordinary ninjas...

Its destructive power is terrible!
Especially on the battlefield.

This is also the significance of large summoning beasts, and the huge arm created by Jingyan was born for such occasions.

It's a war machine!

The only flaw and regret is——

"How do you plan to suppress its activity and power?"

Once this kind of puppet is successfully manufactured and its cells and flesh are transplanted into it, it is very likely to regain the expansion properties of Hashirama's cells.

Jingyan's lips curled up slightly.

"I have no intention of suppressing its active power. I just want it to reach a balance so that it can cooperate with Wood Release."

"Yamato?"

It definitely couldn’t be Jingyan himself.

"Yes, Yamato's physical condition is very special, but his own chakra is too weak to exert the power of Wood Release itself."

Jingyan replied, "In that case, create a humanoid reserve puppet for him to amplify his Wood Release ninjutsu ability. As long as we use the power of Wood Release, we can control it to a certain extent."

Orochimaru pondered for a while and nodded slightly.

"If that's the case, only Yamato can use this one."

"of course."

A few seconds later, Jingyan came back with another person beside him.

Yamato.

He was confused, but when he looked around, he saw Kyouhiko, Orochimaru, and the wooden arm in front of him...

Yamato's eyes gradually focused.

"Lord Kyohiko."

"Can you use chakra thread?"

Jingyan demonstrated how to use it.

Yamato shook his head blankly.

"It's okay. Then you can use Wood Release Ninjutsu to connect it, and then input chakra through the created wood to control it. Imagine it as your arm..."

Jingyan explained how to use it.

The arms are hollow, large enough to accommodate Yamato's hands.

Yamato did as he was told.

Then he tried to raise his hand.

Not moving at all!

"You have to use Wood Release to control it."

"Yes!"

Yamato slowly figured it out, and after a few minutes, this arm, which was several times larger than his, began to move.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Orochimaru's eyes.

Can it really be done?

This is wood made from Hashirama's cells. Each piece is extremely heavy. With his and Kyouhiko's level, they can lift it effortlessly, but Yamato...

How old is he?

Orochimaru looked forward, then quickly cast a spell, and a rock appeared in front of him.

"Smash it."

Yamato nodded slightly.

then--

boom!
One punch.

The rocks in front were instantly smashed into pieces!

"How's the chakra consumption?"

"It feels like the consumption is not that much!"

Yamato himself was surprised.

He couldn't perform this level of attack by himself, but after wearing this wooden hand, he could do it easily, and the consumption of chakra was not much.

Amazing!

"Try Wood Release again."

"Use it?"

"Yes, use your other hand to make a seal, and then use your right hand to perform the spell."

"Yes!"

Yamato responded, then formed a seal with one hand and stretched out the other hand -

Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!
The wooden arm suddenly turned into several huge vine branches, and rushed forward like a giant snake, with a terrifying momentum.

"Kyohiko-kun, your talent is truly astonishing!"

The excitement in Orochimaru's eyes grew more intense.

Wood Release...

It really is a magical power!

but.

"Take it off, or you won't be able to remove it later."

Jingyan reminded.

Yamato was stunned for a moment, then immediately released the Wood Release and freed his hand.

He then discovered...

The wood he created was actually corroded and assimilated by the "external limbs" of the puppet! (End of this chapter)
