Chapter 197 Double Agent Kabuto Yakushi

Orochimaru desperately desired any technology that could grant him longevity or even immortality.

Currently, he possesses the techniques of resurrection and cloning, which he relies on to achieve immortality.

However, the Reincarnation of the Corpse has a major flaw: with each reincarnation, his soul becomes more fragile.

Cloning technology seems to have no flaws, since the body cloned from one's own cells is perfectly compatible with one's own soul.

However, cloning technology has not undergone long-term clinical trials, and no one knows what kind of side effects it might have.

Now that Orochimaru has seen Sasori's human puppet, his eyes light up and he wants to acquire this technology.

Of course, Orochimaru knew that turning himself into a human puppet had its drawbacks.

Putting aside other things, at least the sense of taste and digestive system should be gone.

He had never heard of puppets being able to eat.

However, Orochimaru didn't see these as problems.

As long as he can master Scorpion's puppetry techniques, when he really needs to modify himself, he only needs to modify the parts that need modification, instead of modifying his entire body like Scorpion did.

As for the issue of organ failure, that's easy to handle.

You can simply remove and replace it from the clone.

Orochimaru believed that he could achieve ultimate immortality in this semi-puppet form.

"It seems I need to find a way to obtain Scorpion's puppet technology."

"Hmm, once the pharmacist returns, have him contact Scorpion and see if he can trick him into revealing the puppet's techniques."

During the period when Orochimaru and Sasori became partners, Orochimaru also planted Kabuto Yakushi as a spy next to Sasori.

[Unexpectedly, Sasori preferred Kabuto and sent him back to stab Orochimaru.]

Thus, Kabuto Yakushi became a double agent, operating between both sides.

"Hmm? Kabuto is a double agent? Orochimaru, are you aware of this?"

Jiraiya and the Third Hokage took the matter very seriously, as it involved Kabuto.

We can't afford to ignore this, because Kabuto was revealed by the light screen to be a very important figure who played a crucial role in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

The Third Hokage originally intended to kill Kabuto Yakushi, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

While Jiraiya wasn't as extreme, he still wanted to imprison Kabuto Yakushi in Konoha Prison and monitor him day and night.

Orochimaru vouched for them.

The two refrained from punishing Yakushi Kabuto because they assured him that he wouldn't do such things in the real world.

Now that they've seen the revelation on the screen that Kabuto Yakushi was actually a spy planted by Sasori next to Orochimaru, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage are immediately unsettled.

Since Kabuto was a spy sent by Sasori, was his loyalty to Orochimaru not as high as he appeared?

Was he just fooling Orochimaru all along?

Orochimaru was unaware that Kabuto Yakushi was a spy sent back by Sasori.

This is what Jiraiya and the Third Hokage most want to know.

"Of course I know."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya and the Third Hokage and calmly said, "I know what you're worried about, but Kabuto has always been on my side. The information that Kabuto revealed to Sasori was all with my permission and was just some trivial information."

"In that case, we can rest assured."

After Jiraiya and the Third Hokage exchanged a glance, the Third Hokage continued, "So, does Sasori know?"

"Scorpion doesn't know that Kabuto is one of my people; he still thinks Kabuto is one of his people."

"Heh, Sasori is really unlucky to have offended you, Orochimaru."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage say this, Jiraiya immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, old man, you drove Orochimaru out of the village back then, which offended him badly. Years later, he returned and launched the Konoha Crush Plan. If it weren't for the Second Hokage, you would probably have been killed by him."

"."

The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya, his lips trembling slightly, his expression somewhat agitated, as if he wanted to swear.

However, considering the large number of people present, the Third Hokage ultimately did not say anything, and could only glare fiercely at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya: ? ? ?

"What, am I wrong?"

"Hehehe, Jiraiya, you're right!"

Orochimaru laughed and gave Jiraiya a thumbs up.

He was discovered by the Third Hokage for capturing people from his own village to conduct human experiments.

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

While letting him go, they also expelled him from Konoha.

How ruthless is Orochimaru?

That's definitely ruthless.

His plan to destroy Konoha was primarily motivated by a desire for the Third Hokage to die on the battlefield and become a hero of the village, rather than dying in his old age on his sickbed. However, it may also have been a form of revenge for what happened back then.

[Having completed its glorious evolution, Sasori usually hides inside the puppet shell Hiruko and does not show its true face.]

[Referring to the battle between the ninja world's junk king and the undefeated legend, Sasori knew long ago that close combat as a puppeteer had drawbacks. Therefore, Hiruko was both Sasori's armor and weapon, combining offense and defense.]

As expected, Orochimaru defected from Akatsuki. Sasori, along with Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, then found Deidara and persuaded him to join the organization.

[Through Itachi's glaring eyes that could make anyone pregnant, Sasori and Deidara successfully teamed up.]

[And so, Sasori went from being the immortal duo with Orochimaru to the artistic duo with Deidara.]

When the Akatsuki began collecting the Tailed Beasts, Sasori and Deidara were tasked with capturing Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast.

After Deidara succeeded, Gaara's older brother Kankuro, who was like a younger brother to him, caught up and was determined to take Gaara back.

[Realizing that Kankuro was a puppeteer, and that the three puppets he was using were ones Kankuro had already played with years ago, whether out of a twisted sense of humor or because Sasori wanted to test the current skill level of the Sunagakure puppeteers, he told Deidara to take Gaara and leave first, leaving himself to deal with Kankuro alone.]

Kankuro was no match for Sasori; after being toyed with, he was easily defeated.

However, Sasori did not kill Kankuro; instead, he poisoned him.

If this poison kills someone, that's one thing; if it doesn't, then it becomes foreshadowing for later events.

After being poisoned, Kankuro received reinforcements from Konoha's top-tier squad.

Sakura, who was trained by Tsunade, also used this knowledge to concoct an antidote to cure scorpion venom.

"Huh? Sakura will be Tsunade's apprentice in the future?"

The people present were somewhat surprised.

These people all know something about the three little ones in Class 7.

Naruto and Sasuke, needless to say, are not only incredibly strong, but also have impressive backgrounds.

Meanwhile, Sakura, who was in the same squad, seemed rather mediocre and unremarkable.
