Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 28 The Ninja World Scientist Lives Up to His Name

Another half month passed.

The first high-end offline casino in Tanzaku Street has opened!

The scene was filled with the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the fluttering of red flags, and a sea of ​​people.

Natsume wasn't exaggerating.

Because the wife of the governor of Tanzaku, Satoko Kajiwara, also came to show her support.

It turned out that the meal was worth it.

The only downside is that this lady always likes to touch people inappropriately.

Her arrival made everyone realize that the Gunma Casino had a complicated background.

Natsume estimated that other casinos that were considering taking the plunge might hesitate because of this.

Hesitation will lead to missed opportunities.

The services offered by Gunma Casino are a clear case of being outclassed.

A six-story building.

For example, the entrance fee for the first floor is 10,000 taels, and the treatment is the same as that of other casinos.

But once you get to the sixth floor, you get the ultra-high-class service of a paradise on earth.

First, the entrance fee reached five million taels; second, the dealers and waiters were all in cooperation with the "brothels" of Tanzaku Street, and you could play as you pleased; and finally, the food, drinks, and other necessities were all the most high-end in the Land of Fire.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a life of extravagance and debauchery.

Even if other casinos wanted to imitate it, it would take them a month or two, and by then it would be too late.

In addition to the Gunma Casino, Gunma Bank has also been relaunched.

Underground banks are all used for usury and do not have deposit business.

Those that offer deposit services are the land-based banks established by various countries.

In the original work, Jiraiya once showed Naruto Uzumaki a bankbook.

He deposited his money in the Fire Country Bank.

However, these banks are all elite banks. They do not accept small deposits, only deposits of millions or tens of millions of yuan, and they do not offer interest.

Gunma Bank is different.

It's almost identical to the banking model of my previous life.

It accepts any deposit and can generate interest on your money.

The same applies to lending; the interest rate is relatively low, but collateral is required. As a condition, either a house or ninjutsu (a type of martial arts technique) will suffice.

With the Gunma Casino and Gunma Bank, Natsume should theoretically never be short of money again, unless he has to spend a huge amount.

For example, someone like Orochimaru who does scientific research can't afford to spend all that money.

night.

Natsume then sent his wooden clone to Orochimaru's mansion.

The main purpose was to trade the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

"etc."

After he finished discussing the location and time of the transaction, Orochimaru suddenly called out to him.

"I have something here that you might be interested in."

He took out a bottle of medicine and said, "I made this medicine using cells from Kagami and Hashirama cells. With long-term use, it can give people a certain probability of awakening their Wood Release talent, and it's relatively safe."

Natsume raised an eyebrow. It was somewhat interesting, but not much.

Because he has already awakened his Wood Release talent.

"What other effects?"

"It can improve a person's physical condition and increase chakra."

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then said, "I suspect that if the quantity is large enough, it might possess the physique of Hashirama Senju."

That's probably an astronomical figure.

Natsume naturally doesn't expect to reach the level of Hashirama Senju, but if he can improve upon it, it will be worthwhile.

With the Wood Release potion and the help of Uzumaki Ena, he felt that although his physique couldn't match that of Uzumaki Naruto, chasing after Uchiha Sasuke shouldn't be a problem.

What do you want?

"Improve your own strength."

Orochimaru said with a gloomy expression, "I have already felt my limit, and it is difficult to make any further progress."

Natsume thought to himself that this was indeed the truth.

Without his bloodline limit, Orochimaru almost represents the highest level of ordinary ninjas.

At most, you could add a Sage Mode, but very few people can even come into contact with it, let alone master it.

There are many ways to increase your chances in Natsume's Fate Value Shop.

But it's too expensive, unnecessary, and not worth it.

Moreover, Orochimaru's offer was not enough.

If it's just about the Wood Release potion, let's just make a huge promise to him.

"Now that you know your limits, stop being human and become an immortal."

Natsume planned to explain the structure of the Sage of Six Paths to him.

In fact, Orochimaru has been heading down this path all along.

"An immortal?"

Orochimaru immediately realized what was happening and asked, "You mean the Sage of Six Paths?"

The story of the Sage of Six Paths founding the Ninja Cult is widely known in the ninja world, and he naturally knew it as well.

"That's right, do you know how to become the Sage of Six Paths?"

Is that even possible?

Orochimaru didn't believe it at all; the Sage of Six Paths was a legendary figure, and whether he even existed was a question.

Creating the moon alone is something that even ninjas could not achieve.

"The Sage of Six Paths possesses two crucial things: the Sage Body and the Sage Eyes."

Natsume smiled slightly and asked, "Sage Body, doesn't that sound familiar?"

"Sage Mode?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

"good."

Natsume nodded, "But it must be the most perfect Sage Mode."

In fact, the Sage Body and Sage Mode are not entirely equivalent.

The term "sage body" refers to the physical body of the Sage of Six Paths, which is essentially the body's vitality and energy.

Sage Mode is a state in which one can freely use Sage Chakra and Sage Techniques.

As the sons of the Sage of Six Paths, Ashura and Indra inherited his Sage Body and Sage Eyes, respectively.

Unfortunately, it's rare for children to inherit 100% of their parents' talents.

The claim that the Senju clan inherited the Sage Body and the Uchiha clan inherited the Sage Eyes is not true; they are not the complete form.

For example, the Sharingan evolves into the Rinnegan, which is the true Sage's Eye.

As for the cultivation of the Sage Body, Natsume believes it is related to the Sage Mode.

But it's extremely difficult, so difficult that it's practically impossible.

So Natsume was just making empty promises to Orochimaru.

"So, what do you think the Celestial Eye is?"

Natsume recalled that when Jiraiya met Nagato, he recognized the eyes as those of the Sage of Six Paths, but didn't know their name or how he obtained them. Therefore, he believed that Jiraiya was the legendary child of prophecy.

Orochimaru shook his head.

"It's called the Rinnegan, which evolved from the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"What?!"

Orochimaru rarely loses his composure.

He never imagined that the Sage's Eyes and the Mangekyou Sharingan were related.

"The reason is simple."

Natsume explained, "The Uchiha and Senju clans are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."

Orochimaru smiled, but with a hint of bitterness.

This was the true source of their two races' strength.

Damn bloodline theory!

"Once you obtain the Sage Body and Sage Eyes, you may become the second Sage of Six Paths, at which point no one will be your match."

Natsume wasn't lying to him, but the probability of success was zero.

Orochimaru's expression kept changing.

These words undoubtedly negate his previous efforts.

What kind of new ninjutsu are we supposed to develop?

The key is to directly address the bloodline.

But he was Orochimaru after all, and he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Immortal body and immortal eye—such wonderful things are not to be missed.

He doesn't necessarily have to become the second Sage of Six Paths; he wants to be the first Orochimaru Sage.

Inheriting traditions while innovating, they developed their own unique ninjutsu.

If Natsume knew what he was thinking, she would definitely give him a thumbs up.

The ninja scientist truly lives up to his reputation.

Young man, you have potential. Come with me to build a new world with unique ninja characteristics.

"One bottle of Wood Release potion won't be enough for this news, remember to prepare more."

Natsume released his wooden clone.

Orochimaru stared at the spot where he had disappeared, speechless for a long time.

The method Natsume described was extremely rough and lacked detail.

For example, he had no idea how the Mangekyou Sharingan could be upgraded to the Rinnegan, or how the Sage Eyes and Sage Body could be fused together.

Moreover, he wasn't sure if the news itself was true or false.

Coincidentally, both the Sage Transformation Jugo, which corresponds to the Sage Body, and the Mangekyou Sharingan Itachi, which corresponds to the Sage Eyes, were Natsume's guides.

Orochimaru found it increasingly terrifying the more he thought about it.
