Naruto: I start with one door, and I can open it infinitely.

The next morning, Lin Chuan and his three companions went to see Orochimaru. Only three of them greeted Orochimaru, saying, "Lord Orochimaru..."

The only one who didn't call out was Sasuke, because Sasuke knew very well that he wanted power, and Orochimaru wanted his body. They were in a relationship of mutual exploitation. In addition, he was an Uchiha, so he would never call Orochimaru "sir".

"Hmm? Very good," Orochimaru's gaze fell on Lin Chuan, his bandaged face nodding slightly as he chuckled sinisterly, "Chuan, you've adapted to the cursed seal. From now on, you'll take over the duties of the Sound Four and follow Kabuto's instructions..."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru," Lin Chuan knelt on one knee, accepting Orochimaru's order.

From now on, he must always maintain a facade of being Orochimaru's most loyal and useful tool, even a potential vessel for Orochimaru, and also appear to be a fanatical follower of Orochimaru. Finally, he must be Karin's admirer and protector.

"Very good, move the test subjects first," Orochimaru said, looking at Kabuto. They were preparing to evacuate. The Sound Village base had been discovered, and the next step would be the encirclement and suppression by Konoha. If that troublesome Jiraiya came, it wouldn't be so easy for him to leave.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto Yakushi acknowledged the order and then called out to Lin Chuan and Karin, "Chuan, Karin, come with me..."

"Yes, senior," Lin Chuan followed behind Kabuto, and the two left Orochimaru's room together, leaving only Sasuke in the room.

At this moment, Sasuke craved power and couldn't help but ask sharply, "Orochimaru, when will you make me stronger?"

"Don't rush, Sasuke-kun. Let's get out of here first. Getting entangled with those troublesome guys is a real hassle, hehehe," Orochimaru suddenly thought of the ridiculous bond. Jiraiya was like that too, and he figured Naruto must be too.

……

At the same time, Lin Chuan and Yakushi Kabuto arrived at the cells where the experimental subjects were being held. These were the same cells they had seen when they entered the base, each containing anywhere from ten to seven or eight experimental subjects.

"Kawa, Karin, right now there are only the three of us working at the base," Kabuto Yakushi's smile finally stopped being fake. Suddenly remembering something, he smiled again: "To be precise, it should be the two of you. I have some important matters to attend to..."

"The test subjects in the cells will all be transferred. Each test subject will be shackled. I will cover for you and take you to the transfer base. After that, you will have to transfer the test subjects yourselves..."

"Senior Dou, where is our new base?" Lin Chuan looked at the hundreds of experimental subjects in the cell. They estimated that it would take them ten trips to complete the transfer!

"One is on the sea north of the Land of Rice Fields, on the high seas where the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Rice Fields meet, and the other is near the Tenchi Bridge. These are the two closest bases to here. The base we're going to on the coast of the Land of Rice Fields this time..."

Upon hearing that it was the coast of the Land of Rice Fields, and that it was still nearby, he quickly helped Kabuto put shackles and handcuffs on the test subject, and Karin also came over to help.

Next, they blindfolded the test subjects, put them in a carriage, hypnotized all of them with hypnotic gas, and drove the carriage to the northern coast of the Land of Fields.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Chuan thought of the Tenchi Bridge base. He remembered that the Tenchi Bridge was an important part of the plot, but it was located on the border of the Land of Grass. Fortunately, he wasn't going there, otherwise he and Karin would have been hunted down by the Grass Ninja Village.

He has only just obtained the cursed seal and hasn't developed it properly yet. He's only a Chunin right now, so he can't stop the Grass Village from chasing him. Once he's developed for a while, no matter how many Grass Village ninjas come, they'll all die.

During their first transfer of the experimental subject, with the experienced Pharmacist Kabuto as their guide, they navigated the dangers without incident and successfully transferred the subject to the island base.

Next, the pharmacist went back to do other things, and the task of transferring the experimental subjects fell to him and Karin.

He didn't care about this. After lunch, he and Karin got busy. This time, they did the same thing as before: put shackles and handcuffs on the test subject and drove him onto the carriage.

After paralyzing all the test subjects with hypnotic gas, he said to Karin, "Karin, you drive the carriage..."

"Why me? What are you doing?" Karin pouted in dissatisfaction. They had both joined Orochimaru, so why was this guy ordering her around?

"I can also drive the carriage. If the test subject escapes, will you go and catch it?" Lin Chuan ignored Karin's complaints. What did a weakling have to complain about? This was a place where strength mattered.

He jumped straight up the tree and then followed the carriage to prevent the test subject from escaping. He said that if the test subject escaped, he would not care whether the subject lived or died.

"Alright, I'll drive the carriage," Karin knew she wasn't very good at it, so she could only follow Lin Chuan's instructions and drive the carriage. If any experimental subjects escaped, it wouldn't be her problem anymore.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, and they arrived at the seaside again. There was a ship there, a transport ship specifically for transporting experimental subjects, and there were also thugs from the island base on board, who were there to pick up this batch of experimental subjects.

Next, Karin will stay behind to watch the carriage. He will follow the transport ship to the island base and will not leave until he is sure that all the experimental subjects have been imprisoned.

They made two trips a day, but on the fourth day, an accident still occurred. While they were traveling through the woods, one of the test subjects suddenly jumped out of the car and ran into the woods.

Lin Chuan instantly locked onto the fleeing test subject, used a teleportation technique to appear in front of the subject, drew his sword and stabbed it, piercing the subject's heart directly.

"How is this possible?" The test subject was of the speed-enhanced type, and he thought he could escape with his speed, but he didn't expect him to catch up so quickly.

"As test subjects, don't even think about running away. There's no way you can escape," Lin Chuan said, drawing his katana and gently wiping the test subject's body. Looking at the test subject's unseeing eyes, he plunged the katana into the test subject's head.

He continued until he had thoroughly mashed the test subject's brain to prevent the subject from faking death and escaping. Then he jumped up a tree, cut off the dense branches to cover the corpse, and returned to the carriage.

The mission to transfer the experimental subject is about to end. In this desolate wilderness, the corpse is unlikely to be found by humans. It is more likely to be found by hungry wild animals or scavengers, who will help them destroy the evidence.

After noting the location of the test subject's death, he returned to the carriage and saw a worried Karin. He urged her, "I've taken care of it, let's continue on our way..."

"Okay," Karin realized at this moment that the mission of transporting the experimental subjects was also risky. If Lin Chuan hadn't been somewhat strong, they would have been in trouble if the experimental subjects had escaped. They didn't know how Orochimaru and Kabuto would punish them.

Then they continued to transfer the test subjects. Some of the test subjects knew they were being transferred, and with their strong physiques, they resisted the hypnosis. When they tried to escape, they were stopped and directly transformed into beasts or even used the power of the cursed seal.

The test subjects who could use the cursed seal were at least Chunin level, but they were no match for Lin Chuan. He only used a water clone to lure the enemy before sneaking up from behind to attack the test subject who was obsessed with causing destruction, and cut the test subject using the cursed seal into pieces.

Looking at the corpses of the beast-like experimental subjects on the ground, he sighed helplessly. If he hadn't taken the path of Karin and joined Orochimaru, his fate wouldn't have been much better. He would probably have ended up like these experimental subjects, or like the four dead Sound Ninja.

This wasn't luck; it was the result of his planning. As expected, one can't just wait passively; this is what happens when you wait passively. You have to take the initiative.

Otherwise, how could he have become Orochimaru's subordinate so smoothly, obtained Orochimaru's cursed seal, and avoided being used as a test subject or cannon fodder like the Sound Four?

At least for now, we won't be treated as consumables. As for the future, it's hard to say. Let's endure here for three years and see what happens. After three years, it will be a whole new world.

When he returned to the carriage, Karin witnessed the experimental subject go berserk and saw his bloodstained longsword. She was so frightened that her legs trembled. She never expected that they were transporting a group of terrifying monsters. From then on, she dared not be careless.

On the morning of the sixth day, after they had finally moved all the test subjects, he returned to the vicinity of the test subjects he had killed and escaped. If the test subjects had not been eaten, he would bury them with soil.

Only after dealing with all the escaped and dead test subjects did he and Karin report their mission to Kabuto Yakushi. "Senior, all the test subjects have been transferred. During the transfer, seven test subjects escaped, and they have all been dealt with, killed and buried on the spot..."

"Well done, they even knew to bury the body, not bad," Kabuto Yakushi nodded slightly upon hearing Lin Chuan's report.

He was relieved to find Lin Chuan so capable. He continued to organize the documents and pack the experimental equipment, using a sealing scroll to seal all the equipment inside, making it much easier to take away.

Lin Chuan was extremely envious of this storage ability. If he could learn this trick, he could put any valuable items he acquired in a scroll first, making it convenient to take them with him.

Seeing that Lin Chuan and the other person had nothing to do after their report, Kabuto arranged for them to help him pack up the less important experimental equipment. The three of them quickly packed up the items they were taking from the base and sealed them all into a scroll.

Finally, Orochimaru arranged for the Fuma clan to impersonate him and Kabuto Yakushi in order to deal with Jiraiya and Naruto who would arrive soon.

News has arrived from the Fuma clan that they encountered Jiraiya and Naruto on their journey. The Fuma clan that did not ally with Orochimaru has received Jiraiya's support and is heading towards Orochimaru's base.

Orochimaru had the Fuma clan's defectors cover their retreat to distract Jiraiya and Naruto, who then boarded a carriage and left the base the next day.

Orochimaru and Sasuke were the main passengers in the carriage. Orochimaru had just changed to a new vessel, while Sasuke followed beside him. Kabuto Yakushi was driving the carriage, and Karin sat on the other side, having to walk through the forest.

Before long, the group arrived at the beach and boarded a transport ship to the island base...

Judging from Orochimaru's focus, Lin Chuan could guess that Orochimaru's attention would likely be on Sasuke from now on, since it was related to Orochimaru's new vessel three years from now.

To avoid being tracked and surrounded by Konoha and Akatsuki, they will definitely remain in a defensive posture, focusing all their attention and most of their resources on Sasuke, their new vessel, and completely keeping a low profile.

If that's the case, it seems these three years won't be too difficult. As they arrived at the island base, Kabuto Yakushi made new arrangements.

"You've all worked hard these past few days. Take a good rest. Things won't be as busy anymore. You need to focus on improving your strength. You're too weak right now to be of any help to Lord Orochimaru..."

After watching Orochimaru and Sasuke leave, Kabuto Yakushi arranged rooms for Lin Chuan and Sasuke. The three of them stayed in adjacent rooms, while Sasuke and Orochimaru stayed in adjacent rooms.

Orochimaru arranged for Sasuke to live next door. He not only wanted to develop his new vessel and make it stronger when it was possessed, but also to protect it from being destroyed.

Karin, seeing that things had finally settled down, wanted to talk to Sasuke, but to her dismay, Sasuke left with Orochimaru as soon as they arrived at the new base. She sighed in frustration, realizing she would have to wait until next time.

Lin Chuan has been exhausted these past few days and needs a good rest. A tool person must be prepared to be a tool person, on call 24 hours a day, available whenever needed, and not allowed to complain about being tired. That's exactly what he is.

He entered his room, closed the door, bit his finger until it bled, pressed it to the ground, and shouted, "Spirit Spell..."

"Caw, caw," the crow cawed as soon as it emerged.

"Shut up, I need to sleep for a while. Keep an eye on the door for me, and wake me up if anyone breaks in." Lin Chuan couldn't sleep peacefully in the snake pit, so he had to ask the psychic crow to keep watch so he could get some rest and prevent being spied on.

He had used this summoning crow before; both Kabuto and Karin had seen it, which was why he dared to use it boldly without arousing their suspicion.

As he fell into a deep sleep, Orochimaru brought Sasuke to the room. After Sasuke went to rest, Orochimaru returned to his own room. A small white snake slipped in through the crack in the door, slithered onto Orochimaru, and spat out a scroll from Orochimaru's mouth.

Orochimaru opened the scroll, which contained intelligence sent back by his spies planted in Konoha.

Intelligence reports indicate that Root does indeed have a spy named Hugh who is infiltrating Kusagakure and carrying out a mission to collect children. However, this mission was fifteen years ago, and Root believed that the spy was dead until Orochimaru investigated this Root spy.

The time of Xiu's death was indeed during the Chunin Exams, and there were indeed two genin, Lin Chuan and Karin, in Kusagakure. There is even detailed information about them.

Lin Chuan, a genin of Kusagakure, is an orphan without parents. In the first round of the Chunin Exams, he was eliminated because his teammates were caught cheating. After the third round of the Chunin Exams, he disappeared. Kusagakure thought he had died in the chaos and had already treated him as a missing person.

Karin, a genin from Kusagakure, is an orphan from the Uzumaki clan. She was Lin Chuan's teammate. After the third round of the Chunin Exams, she disappeared without a trace. Kusagakure assumed they had died in the chaos. The ninja searched for Karin but couldn't find her and treated her as a missing person.

"Hehehe, it seems there are no problems. Let Kabuto handle it himself from now on." After reading the information scroll, Orochimaru's hand instantly ignited with a bright green flame, burning the scroll to ashes.

Next, his focus will be on Sasuke. His only task for the next three years is to properly nurture his new Uchiha vessel. I'm really looking forward to the moment he can use the Reanimation Jutsu three years from now!
