Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

When Chiba saw Kimimaro again, he found that Kimimaro's health had improved a lot. Although he was still suffering from illness, it did not seem to have deteriorated significantly.

"You're doing quite well."

"Fortunately."

Kimimaro was released from his sealed state, and his emotions did not fluctuate much.

Just as Kabuto said.

Getting Kimimaro to surrender is not an easy task.

"Kimimaro, do you have an answer to my proposal?"

"I want to know, is Lord Orochimaru dead or not?"

Kimimaro said solemnly.

“If before, I could only answer with guesswork, but now I can tell you with certainty that he is not dead.”

Chiba tells Kimimaro about his encounter with Yakushi Kabuto.

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro's expression gradually became serious.

Can't find the Impure World Reincarnation?

This is enough to prove that Orochimaru's soul did not return to the underworld, but may exist in the ninja world in another form.

He narrowed his eyes and asked again, "If Lord Orochimaru is resurrected, how will you treat him?"

"Stop researching forbidden ninjutsu and put him under special surveillance, but I will spare his life. However, he cannot conduct those experiments again, or I will kill him."

"Furthermore, I have the ability to find Orochimaru's methods, and I am absolutely capable of keeping Orochimaru in that state forever until he dies."

Chiba knew that Orochimaru wanted immortality.

Whether it's the cloning technique Orochimaru later conceived of, or the "White Zetsu," both could satisfy Orochimaru's needs. The latter is fine, but if it were the former...

He didn't quite agree either.

Cloning is a terrifying thing; it was Pandora's box in its past life, let alone in such a chaotic place as the ninja world.

and.

Only by being unable to live forever and being imprisoned can Orochimaru be sufficiently punished.

These are conditions that cannot be compromised, otherwise the price would be too easy.

Kimimaro remained silent for a few seconds.

Having less than six months to live, he was, in a sense, still in need of the other party's help.

Under such circumstances, Konoha's willingness to offer such conditions shows great sincerity, as rescuing Orochimaru remains their top priority.

As for imprisonment...

At least Lord Orochimaru is still alive.

As for bypassing Chiba to revive Orochimaru, not to mention that they still have no clue, even if they knew how to revive Orochimaru, he didn't think they could bypass Chiba.

This boy is far more terrifying than I imagined!

He pondered for a long time before asking, "What do you want me to do?"

"There's no need to do too much. In fact, your current condition is very dangerous. Even if you use my treatment plan, you won't be able to use the Corpse Bone Meridian again in the short term."

Kimimaro can simply serve as an "instructor" for the time being.

Chiba explained his needs.

Kimimaro fell silent again.

If he agrees to this condition, he will never be able to pledge allegiance to Orochimaru again.

Konoha would never allow someone who knows about the Anbu's training to leave.

Unless what leaves is a corpse.

“Before we can fully trust you, we need to take some protective measures. You should understand, right? After all, you know best how powerful the Corpse Bone Pulse is.”

"Ah."

Kimimaro nodded.

He understood this perfectly. No one would allow a dangerous individual to roam freely in the village unless the person was out of their mind or they hoped to use him to lure out Orochimaru's hidden subordinates.

"If that's the case, I'll agree to your conditions and help you train your ninjas in swordsmanship and taijutsu."

Kimimaro bowed respectfully.

"Alright, since you've agreed, you won't be imprisoned here anymore. You can go to another place, but some of the seals still can't be broken..."

"I understand."

Kimimaro nodded calmly, "Actually, I can feel that after my chakra and some abilities were sealed, the deterioration of my body has been slowing down."

This proves that Chiba's conjecture is correct.

Kimimaro's blood disease originated from the evolution of the bloodline limit.

"Not surprising. Bloodline limit is an advantage, but it is also a disease. This is not only true for your Shikotsumyaku, but Sharingan may also have similar conditions."

"They have Sharingan too?"

Kimimaro was slightly taken aback.

"It's just a matter of degree, so you may not be able to use the power of the cursed seal anymore. I will seal it completely."

"Thank you so much."

Kimimaro bowed slightly.

He was loyal to Orochimaru, but he was not indiscriminate in his loyalty.

Kimimaro was always grateful for Chiba's appreciation and respect for his talent.

"Then why don't you change your clothes first? I'll introduce you to the Hyuga clan, which your Kaguya clan is more familiar with."

"There's no need. I have no dealings with them and no feelings for them."

Kimimaro said calmly.

Chiba smiled and said, "I'm not trying to get closer to you. The Hyuga clan's Byakugan can see directly into the human body's essence, which might be helpful for your condition."

"Yes, I understand."

Kimimaro followed behind Chiba.

but.

After thinking for a moment, he still said, "My help to you and Konoha is conditional on you fulfilling your promises, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, but you have to understand that Orochimaru and you have both committed serious offenses. If you want to survive, you have to make contributions, whether it's you or Orochimaru."

Chiba said solemnly.

"I will serve you; your orders will guide my course."

Kimimaro knew that the other party did not trust him.

but.

It's always better to be open and honest than to be secretive and secretive.

Chapter 201 The Beast Ninja's Behavior Has Nothing to Do With Me

Hyuga main family.

Hiashi sat in the courtyard, watching Neji and Hinata fight.

Hinata is very serious.

but.

Even without using the Byakugan, Neji's strength was still far superior to Hinata's, and he could still overpower Hinata.

"Cough cough!"
