Chapter 57 The Deal (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets)

Orochimaru didn't mind Tsunade's temper at all, and looked up with a smile: "I had heard of this genius before, but I didn't expect him to have this kind of talent."

Tsunade said calmly, "What, you want to take on a disciple?"

"It's too late. He's already Senior Sakumo's disciple."

Orochimaru smiled but didn't say anything.

Of course, he couldn't possibly be unaware of this information.

With such a great reputation, even without a grand ceremony to recruit disciples, the news of Konoha's White Fang would still spread throughout Konoha.

Not to mention that Genichi Kinoshita performed so well in the Chunin Exams.

Genichi Kinoshita is the only one with an unassuming personality. He's usually either on missions, training on his own, or at the Konoha Hospital, keeping a very low profile.

Although Tsunade's attitude was not good, she still answered many of Orochimaru's questions.

Orochimaru said casually, "If we had taken this step back then, perhaps so many people wouldn't have died."

Tsunade's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She naturally knew that Orochimaru was referring to the Hashirama cell experiment plan.

At the time, a large number of Konoha ninja volunteered to participate, but all of them who received cell transplants died tragically.

The losses were too great, so Hiruzen Sarutobi permanently sealed the plan and classified it as top secret.

Back then, there was no such thing as matching; it was all about sheer numbers.

Even now, with Orochimaru and Danzo cooperating, there's no such thing as a matching process; it's just that things have improved a lot compared to before.

They chose young children, and then used more advanced anti-rejection technology.

Even so, the experiments failed time and time again.

"You want to restart that program?"

"You still want me to participate?"

Tsunade sneered.

Close relatives have the highest success rate for matching, but it's not absolute.

But Tsunade didn't have that idea.

Seeing Tsunade's attitude, Orochimaru knew it was impossible and said nothing more.

However, just as he was about to leave, Genichi Shushita appeared at the door.

Tsunade and Orochimaru both sensed it and turned around at the same time.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Genichi Kinoshita was very polite. He bowed and then looked at Orochimaru: "This must be Orochimaru-senpai, right?"

Orochimaru, his snake eyes crinkling with amusement, said, "Heh heh, we probably haven't met before!"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "I don't know your opinion. I'm afraid I'm not worthy to be a Konoha ninja."

After saying that, he said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, I will come back later."

Tsunade waved her hand: "No need, this guy will leave soon."

Orochimaru looked at Genichi under the tree: "Genichi-kun, how about we have a chat?"

Genichi Kishita did not immediately agree, but instead looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade turned her head and said, "Do as you please."

So Genichi and Orochimaru left Konoha Hospital together.

A rooftop.

The wind made their hair fly.

Since practicing Jiraiya's Needle Jizo technique, Genichi Shushita has not cut his hair, and now it has grown quite a bit long, reaching his shoulders.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, had a head of long, drooping hair.

Aunt Snake's nickname is truly well-deserved.

"Xuan Yi Jun, I used the cells of an Ice Release bloodline limit user, you don't mind, do you?"

Orochimaru smiled.

Genichi Shushita quickly replied, "Senior is too kind. It's nothing to worry about."

He couldn't make a decision.

Of course, this is just one opening for conversation.

So Genichi Shushita asked directly, "I wonder if you've gained anything, senior?"

Orochimaru looked at Genichi under the tree with a slightly strange expression.

So direct?

But it's very good.

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Indeed, I have gained some insights, and I must thank you for your matching technology."

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "Although I proposed the matching, the technology was actually developed by Lady Tsunade and the others." This was the truth.

He couldn't utilize his existing medical knowledge, but with Tsunade's help, he was able to.

"Senior has already completed the transplantation of Ice Release cells?"

Xuan Yi, standing under the tree, asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Even if a match is found, Orochimaru would not directly transplant the cells of an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai ninja.

Orochimaru's ambitions are even greater.

Or rather, Orochimaru's techniques were not as simple and brutal as they seemed.

Throughout Orochimaru's life, he never had the experience of simply and directly transplanting other people's cells.

"No, that's not the best option."

Orochimaru said casually, "I prefer to study the hidden mysteries within cells rather than directly transplanting them."

After listening for a moment, Genichi nodded: "What you say is true. Knowing what it is but not why it is is just empty talk."

Orochimaru nodded approvingly.

But Genichi Shushita actually felt that it was better to first know what happened, and then know why it happened.

He doesn't have Orochimaru's resources. If possible, he could first transplant cells to obtain his bloodline limit, and then delve deeper into the subject.

"Xuan Yi, would you be interested in participating in my research?"

Orochimaru extended an invitation.

He truly admired Genichi Shushita, believing him to be a talented individual who could be recruited into his ranks.

As for his status as a disciple of Hatake Sakumo, so what?

It doesn't matter at all, since he's not going to take Xuan Yi under the tree as his disciple.

Most importantly, Genichi Shushita has that ambition.

Although he appears harmless on the surface, Orochimaru is able to detect Genichi Jūshita's enormous ambition hidden beneath the surface.

"It is my honor that you would think highly of me."

"However, I don't have the energy to devote to research right now."

Genjuro looked apologetic, but then, seeing Orochimaru's slightly surprised expression, he changed his tone: "This mission yielded some special results, which may interest you, senior."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "Interesting."

"What's something special?"

Genichi Shushita: "Cells of a Magnet Release bloodline limit ninja!"

Orochimaru smiled broadly upon hearing this: "Cloud Ninja?"

There aren't many people in the ninja world who possess Magnet Release.

The possibility of it being Sunagakure is very small, so it must be Kumogakure.

Genichiro nodded: "Yes, a Magnet Release ninja from Kumogakure."

Orochimaru nodded: "I am indeed interested. What do you want?"

Genichi Kishita didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Senior, I want to increase my chakra reserves. Do you have any good solutions?"

Orochimaru laughed: "You're very clever!"

Genichi Shushita chuckled sheepishly, "It's all just cleverness."

He actually already had a goal in mind, such as the horns of the Eight-Tails, but he couldn't say it.

Because this is not information he should know.

Moreover, the price isn't high enough to exchange for the cells of a Magnet Release bloodline limit ninja.

So all I can do is use some clever tricks.

Orochimaru, however, immediately saw that Genichi under the tree had grand ambitions, but he did not feel offended.

He likes ambitious people.

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru smiled and said, "I do know a way to increase chakra levels."

"Human modification".

"The key to chakra lies in the physical body. Modifying the human body to a certain extent can make it stronger and also bring some other benefits."

"Coincidentally, I have some experience in human body modification."

Genichi immediately bowed: "Thank you, senior. I am willing to exchange the cells of a Magnet Release bloodline limit ninja for a set of data on human modification."

Orochimaru chuckled upon hearing this, sticking out his long tongue and licking his lips: "Very good."

"Would you be interested in visiting my experimental base?"

Genichi Shushita quickly replied, "It's my honor!"
