Chapter 151 Kabuto agrees to go to Ryuchi Cave

It was still early before bedtime, so Orochimaru left the Hokage's office and went straight to Konoha Hospital.

At Orochimaru's request, Jiraiya, the Fifth Generation, created a quiet room here to treat Kimimaro.

It was called treatment, but it was really just to prolong his life, to keep him barely clinging to life.

"Kabuto, how is Kimimaro?"

Upon arriving at the quiet room, Orochimaru saw Kabuto Yakushi writing something down.

Even the cold-blooded Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a pang of pity when he saw Kimimaro covered in tubes.

"Reporting to Lord Orochimaru, Kimimaro's condition is getting worse. He spends half of each day in a coma. If we can't come up with a truly effective treatment plan, Kimimaro probably only has two or three months left to live."

As Kimimaro's "personal" doctor, Kabuto Yakushi was very familiar with his condition.

Bloodline diseases are inherently very difficult to treat, and there are very few cases of complete cures in the entire ninja world.

Furthermore, Kimimaro's bloodline limit is the rather rare Shikotsumyaku.

Throughout history, there has never been a successful case of treating bloodline disease that has broken out among bloodline heirs of the Corpse Bone Cult.

Kabuto Yakushi said that he had done his best to prolong Kimimaro's life in Konoha for so long.

If we had to say who was most likely to save Kimimaro's life, it would probably be Tsunade, the legendary healer of the ninja world.

At the very least, he was truly out of options.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if Kimimaro dies, I will revive him."

After saying this, Orochimaru winked at Kabuto, signaling him to come out with him.

Kabuto, confused, put down his pen and paper and followed Orochimaru out the door.

They hadn't gone far when they came to a relatively dark and empty place.

"Kabuto, are you interested in Sage Mode?"

Kabuto inexplicably sensed a hint of danger.

Being cautious by nature, he wasn't sure what Orochimaru meant, so he could only give an ambiguous reply: "Sage Technique? I'm not familiar with that, after all, I don't even have a cursed seal."

Orochimaru grinned, knowing that Kabuto Yakushi was testing his intentions.

He had no interest in playing games with Kabuto and asked bluntly, "If I offered you a place to learn Sage Mode at Ryuchi Cave, would you go?"

Upon hearing this, Kabuto pretended to be calm, adjusted his glasses, and still did not give a direct answer.

"Even Lord Orochimaru couldn't learn Sage Mode, how could a mediocre person like me possibly learn it?"

"Du, don't underestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are a genius."

To allay Kabuto's concerns, Orochimaru patiently continued, "Kabuto, your current strength is too weak. If you want to continue following me, you need to increase your strength. Sage Mode is an excellent method. Look at that idiot Jiraiya. He only earned the title of Toad Sage in the ninja world after learning the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku and being able to activate Sage Mode. Even I, in a fair fight, am no match for him when he activates Sage Mode."

Having spent so much time with Orochimaru, how could Kabuto not know the power of Sage Mode?

Just look at the cursed seal Orochimaru developed; activating the cursed seal is essentially activating a low-quality version of Sage Mode.

If the inferior version is this powerful, then the power of the genuine version is self-evident.

However, Kabuto Yakushi was also aware of the dangers of learning immortal techniques.

When he joined Orochimaru's camp, he learned about Sage Mode and was surprised that Orochimaru didn't learn the authentic Sage Mode but instead created a inferior version of the cursed seal.

His investigation revealed that Orochimaru had lost half of his body when he learned the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave.

It was only because Orochimaru had a variety of ways to protect himself that he survived and did not die.

If the same thing happened to Kabuto, he wouldn't be confident he could pull through.

"Lord Orochimaru, it's me..."

"Kabuto, don't be so quick to refuse."

Licking his tongue, Orochimaru continued, "Since I dared to send you, it's not to send you to your death. Before you go, I will teach you some survival skills so that even if you fail, you won't die."

Orochimaru's words were very compelling.

If he succeeds, Kabuto Yakushi will have the power to stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Even if he fails, he won't die.

In that case, any normal person would know how to choose.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru. I agree to your suggestion to go to Ryuchi Cave to learn Sage Mode."

"Hehehe, this is the Kabuto Yakushi I know."

Kabuto left and returned to his meditation room to continue observing Kimimaro's physical condition.

Orochimaru also left. He went to the laboratory and began preparing to teach Kabuto Yakushi various life-saving abilities the next day.

One of the most important things is his body cells.

You can tell from the light screen that Yakushi Kabuto definitely injected his cells at that time.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

After all, Kabuto Yakushi at that time really looked a lot like him.

Whether in terms of outward appearance, tone of voice, or manner of doing things, he is very similar to him in every way.

Therefore, in order for Kabuto to successfully learn the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave, he must make Kabuto as similar as possible to him on the light screen.

"However, my cells are not something that ordinary people can withstand."

Orochimaru's cells are extremely dangerous.

Unlike Hashirama cells, which devour other cells, it can assimilate other cells, making those with Orochimaru cells increasingly resemble him.

If they can't hold out, they'll become the next Orochimaru.

Kabuto the Pharmacist on the light screen is a good example.

Even with his mastery of Sage Mode and his strong will, he couldn't help but pick up some of Orochimaru's habits, let alone others.

"I'm getting more and more excited to see if Kabuto Yakushi will learn the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave, just like on the screen."

"If he succeeds, then I'll have another subject to study in the field of immortal arts."

"If he fails, as long as he doesn't die, I won't suffer any loss."

"Hehehe, Kabuto, you absolutely mustn't let me down~"

Orochimaru: You can make a killing, but I'll never lose!

Tobima's office.

After agreeing on a time to travel with the Third Hokage, Tobirama asked them to inquire with Obito about how he avoided the drawback of using the Mangekyou Sharingan, which would reduce his eyesight.

With Rin Nohara around, it's unlikely that Obito would keep anything from them.

"Alright, everyone can go back now."

After saying this, Tobirama left the office first.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others followed Tobirama-sensei and began walking towards the office door.

Jiraiya took the opportunity to sneak in and try to slip away.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade kept her eyes on him and did not give him a chance to escape.

"Jiraiya, why do I feel like you're avoiding me?"

Thank you to [Fengcun] for the 500-coin reward.

grateful!!!
