I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 138 Manda: The Innately Evil Uchiha Brat

Hikaru Uchiha will definitely have to meet the White Snake Sage.

But now is not the time.

As Orochimaru said, the guys in Ryuchi Cave are generally not easy to deal with. If it's just about finding a summoning beast, that's fine, but if you want to train in Sage Mode, you have to go through the White Snake Sage himself.

According to the rules of the White Snake Sage, cultivators need to have natural energy injected directly into them by its sharp fangs. If they survive, they become a freak like Kabuto Yakushi, neither human nor snake; if they fail, they die.

This is not what Uchiha Hikaru wanted.

She didn't expect to flatten Ryuchi Cave on her own, but she at least wanted to be able to sit down and have an equal conversation with the White Snake Immortal.

The latter is a thousand-year-old serpent who has lived since the time of Kaguya, and its strength is unfathomable. Getting it to take you seriously will probably not be an easy task.

We need to make a good plan.

present.

Uchiha Hikaru obtained the contract scroll from Orochimaru, signed his name, and then went outside to try summoning it once.

"Spiritual communication!"

Accompanied by a cloud of smoke, the gigantic Manda appeared in the open space outside the Sound Village.

"It really was you..."

Uchiha Hikaru first cleaned the blood from the summoning jutsu, then looked up at the huge creature in front of him with an expression of surprise.

It seems that no matter who summons it, the chances of Manda coming are the highest.

the other side.

Manda glanced around irritably, then noticed Orochimaru's absence and exclaimed, "Hmph, that Orochimaru guy actually handed over the summoning scroll to someone else? Hey, brat, are you his disciple? Don't you know my rules? How dare you summon so casually?"

"Oh."

Uchiha Hikaru raised his head, and the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eyes: "Come on, let's fight."

"?!"

……

Over the next few days, Uchiha Hikaru activated Susanoo and "communicated" with Manda several times.

At first, this guy was arrogant and unruly, and kept shouting things like "I can't leave without a hundred human sacrifices" and "If there are no sacrifices to eat, I'll eat her."

But soon.

Manda began to cower in her presence, speaking the softest words in the harshest tone. Only the title "evil Uchiha brat" remained unchanged, the last bit of stubbornness and dignity it retained for itself.

Uchiha Hikaru didn't mind, since, in reality, she might not even be older than Manda.

After these few days of "playing around," Uchiha Hikaru had a rough idea of ​​Manda's strength—

It's similar to the Dragon Bone Spirit in a severely injured state.

Its strengths lie in its superior agility compared to Ryukotsusei, resulting in a very fast attack speed; its weaknesses include a lack of ninjutsu, the absence of ranged attacks like demonic energy blasts, and somewhat poor regenerative abilities. Therefore, if placed in the world of Inuyasha, it might struggle to even be considered a "great demon." And in the world of dragons, it would probably only be a third-generation demon.

That's normal.

Manda isn't very strong in Ryuchi Cave; he's only at a mid-level.

Leaving aside the White Snake Immortal, the three White Snake Princesses should all be more powerful than it.

However, Manda refused to reveal any information about the White Snake Sage to Uchiha Hikaru, even after being beaten black and blue by her.

Hmm... maybe they really don't know.

the other side.

After a series of examinations and analyses, Orochimaru finally presented a treatment plan.

"...Based on the serum sample and research materials provided by you, Master Guang, I isolated several chemical components from the serum. These should be used to maintain bloodline stability. If we synthesize an inhibitor from them, it should be effective against Miss Erii."

"yes……"

Uchiha Hikaru listened somewhat absentmindedly, while also glancing at the chat group.

[Bulma @ Anonymous: Hikari, are you there?]

[Bulma: I ran into Dad when I went home to get something last night. He said that the serum research you asked him to do has made some progress. He'll show you the sample first.]

Bulma uploaded a sample of "Bloodline Inhibitor Prototype" (1 vial).

Bulma uploaded "Dr. Brief's Research Notes" (1 copy)

[Bulma: This medicine has already undergone animal testing, and its stability is about 30% higher than the previous serum. Dad said you can show it to the doctor who developed the serum first, but it would be best to bring Erii-san over for a clinical trial...]

[Anonymous: Understood.]

After exchanging a few words with Bulma, Uchiha Hikaru downloaded Dr. Brief's findings, looked at them for a while, and then handed them to Orochimaru.

The doctor who developed the serum drug is definitely nowhere to be found.

But Orochimaru should be able to hold his own.

Under the watchful eyes of Uchiha Hikaru and Erii.

Orochimaru spent twenty minutes quickly skimming through the research notes, a look of astonishment on his face: "Lord Hikaru, is this your friend's achievement? It's incredible! Although it's similar to my approach, the method used is much simpler, and this step... to think of using this enzyme to catalyze the reaction, what a genius idea!"

After a moment of reflection, Orochimaru looked over with some anticipation: "Lord Hikaru, could you please introduce me to this doctor? I have many thoughts I'd like to discuss with him."

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikaru's first reaction was to refuse.

After all, giving Orochimaru things from other worlds to study is already risky enough. If he were to bring them to the Dragon Ball world... he might become the second Dr. Gero.

but……

"Meeting in person isn't possible for now, but you can contact him by letter, and I can deliver the letter to him for you."

Uchiha Hikaru offered a compromise.

Orochimaru wasn't too disappointed: "Alright, I'll go test the components of that 'serum inhibitor' first to see if there's any room for further improvement... But I must also remind you, Master, that both the 'serum drug' and the 'inhibitor' are only used to maintain Erii's condition and cannot completely cure it."

To develop a cure, we'll need a large number of Deadpools and pure-blooded dragon materials.

"...I'll figure something out. You can do your research first."

Deadpool is a character that was transformed from a human.

After Tachibana Masamune's exposure, the Snake-Headed Eight Families probably won't create any more Dead Servants... but who knows? After all, neither Uesugi Koshi nor Genjiro are particularly skilled in political maneuvering, and the Snake-Headed Eight Families have many traitors within them, including some of Tachibana Masamune's remaining moles.

However, the number of Deadpools that Uchiha Hikaru could find was definitely not many.

and so……

Next time I go to the Dragon Raja world, should I take some time to visit BJ and trick Fenrir out of some blood?

Alternatively, you could try contacting his older sister, who is a descendant of a different species...
