Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Now we've entered a really frustrating phase.

If Koshin Koji continues his crimes, Jiraiya, hiding in the shadows, will discover that even though Koshin Koji has restrained himself and is constantly filming his actions, there are still victims appearing in another place.

That means the real killer isn't him, but someone else; he doesn't have a second personality.

That way, Jiraiya could start investigating in other directions, eventually discover the problem, and begin to train diligently.

The problem is that, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Jiraiya went into hiding, causing Kashin Koji to also be afraid to show his face.

Jiraiya saw that he had restricted himself and the series of cases had stopped, which made him even more suspicious that the problem lay with himself.

After learning about this, Orochimaru also felt he should do something.

Orochimaru's goal before the change was to master all ninjutsu and achieve immortality.

After the change, Orochimaru realized that individual abilities have limits, and so do human abilities. He learned to guide others to gain power and to enjoy the process.

Therefore, Orochimaru was quite happy to help Sasuke master the power of the Rinnegan and assist Nagato in stealing Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

Orochimaru is doing the same thing now, regarding Jiraiya's situation.

His goal is to help Jiraiya get back on track, motivate him to train hard, and become stronger.

Orochimaru didn't simply want to torture Jiraiya.

So, after realizing he was stuck in a vicious cycle, Orochimaru decided to give it a little push.

Based on his understanding of Jiraiya, if Jiraiya felt it was his fault, he would definitely infiltrate Amegakure again to find information about that surgery.

In contrast, Guoxin Jushi had the idea that he could not return to his birthplace implanted in his subconscious.

Therefore, as long as Orochimaru leaves some information in the operating room and laboratory to guide Jiraiya to break the deadlock, he will definitely be able to achieve the corresponding goal.

There's absolutely no need to worry about that.

Orochimaru didn't pay too much attention to it, but simply changed the laboratory's defense mechanism slightly, adding the toad to the whitelist.

The next thing to do is see when Jiraiya will come again.

A few days later, a little toad sneaked into the place.

Jiraiya didn't come out either. He still adhered to the principle of hiding in the toad as long as possible, fearing that his second personality might appear and do something bad again.

He already knew about what happened last time. Tsunade had helped him handle it, and no one died. The problem was solved once he recovered.

But who knows if it will be even worse next time?

"Huh? What's this?"

Hidden inside the little toad's belly, Jiraiya was like piloting a mecha, able to sense the outside world.

At this moment, Jiraiya discovered crucial information that Orochimaru had deliberately left behind.

The little toad swallowed the note, and Jiraiya began to examine it.

This is an error report.

It says that Jiraiya's surgery had several serious errors.

The first step was organ cultivation. While organs could be cultivated individually, Kabuto and Amado chose to clone a whole body and then remove the organs in order to save time and materials.

The clones were left for Amado to study.

Once the research is complete, these unactivated clones, having no memories or souls, can simply be destroyed.

But then a major mistake occurred.

Amado accidentally triggered an electric shock while chatting with his daughter who was visiting him on set.

This was originally set up by Amado, intending to destroy the clones after the research was completed.

As a result, it was accidentally activated without disabling the current safety setting, causing the current to remain at a level that the human body can withstand.

After a period of time, the clone was actually activated.

The clone escaped the laboratory.

That concludes the description of the event.

Even when Orochimaru was making up stories, he tried his best to attribute all problems to human issues rather than technical ones, for fear of adding to Jiraiya's stereotypes.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya suddenly realized what was going on.

He said that he had been inside the toad for so long and had been sleeping and resting normally during that time, so why hadn't he seen any signs of his second personality appearing?

The camera on the chest didn't capture anything either.

It turns out he was a normal person at all, with no second personality!

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

This not only proves his good health, but also proves that he is indeed not the murderer.

Now his task is simple: find the clone and help him get rid of it.

"But that clone was so heartless. It seems that, like Naruto's dark side, he didn't inherit my noble character either."

Jiraiya stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

Even though he had eliminated another version of himself, Jiraiya still felt somewhat uneasy.

But the thought that this clone not only harmed so many women in the brothel district, but also made him, while drunk, pay for the gambling expenses, is truly too evil and outrageous.

They must be eliminated!

However, before going, Jiraiya had to gather all the information and become the legendary Jiraiya of Information before he could set off.

So Jiraiya continued reading.

Below is some data analyzing the severity of the crisis.

For example, once the clone is activated, it possesses almost the same chakra as the original and the theoretical ability to use ninjutsu.

Unless their memories are transferred, clones will not possess the memories of using those ninjutsu, nor the combat experience.

In this situation, the clone is far inferior to the original.

"That's all? So weak? Wait, something's not right. Tsunade's analysis said this guy also used genjutsu on those girls, didn't it?"

Jiraiya was just about to open the champagne halfway through the game when he discovered the problem.

If the clone were truly a giant baby who looked exactly like him but couldn't do anything, then he might commit murder, but he could never hide so perfectly.

If he hadn't come here to gather intelligence, he would still think he had a split personality.

The same applies to Tsunade.

This guy not only knows ninjutsu, but also has intelligence.

Jiraiya looked down.

Clones that do not have their memories transferred are far weaker than the original clones.

However, the strength of clones as artificial humans lies in their malleability.

In theory, he could be directly transferred a large amount of combat experience, as well as other types of ninjutsu, to directly surpass his original body.

"Moldable? I remember now, during the Chunin Exams, it was mentioned on the rooftop that Orochimaru's future son was an artificial human he cultivated. He could perfectly use the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, which means he surpassed the capabilities provided by Orochimaru's cells."

Jiraiya's expression turned serious as he thought about this.

Could his clone be in the same situation?
