Chapter 256 Kabuto the Pharmacist Returns After Completing His Training

Zetsu has already thoroughly investigated the intelligence regarding Hiruko.

As a childhood friend of the three legendary Sannin, Hiruko did not possess the same outstanding talent as them.

To compensate for his innate deficiencies, he secretly researched a forbidden technique called Oni-Garaku, which could fuse with other people's bloodline limits.

However, before he could complete his research, the Third Hokage discovered him and sent the Sannin to hunt him down.

Perhaps he was just lucky enough to evade the pursuit of the three ninjas through skillful maneuvering.

However, after leaving Konoha, Hiruko had no extra resources.

He had no choice but to do low-risk jobs at the underground bounty office to earn a living.

While saving money, he continued to study the Ghost Sprout Technique.

After many years of research, he finally achieved some results.

Just as he was overjoyed, believing that he would soon gain extraordinary talent and surpass the three legendary ninjas, a cruel reality was laid out before him.

That is, with his current strength barely reaching that of a Jonin, capturing a Bloodline Limit ninja is no easy task.

It was under these circumstances that Zetsu approached him, promising to help him capture a bloodline limit ninja.

However, the prerequisite is that Hiruko needs to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique and successfully improve it so that the characters resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique can reach their peak strength.

If Hiruko could successfully research the incomplete Oni-Garashi technique, let alone the fully documented Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Thus, Hiruko happily agreed to Zetsu's request and learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique in just one week.

Currently, he is continuing his research on how to improve the success rate of Kira-ga's fusion with bloodline limits, while also refining the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

"Rinnegan? Forget it, I'm not cut out for such deadly eyes."

Hiruko's answer greatly surprised Zetsu.

In Zetsu's view, Hiruko was a person who would stop at nothing to become stronger.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered studying the fragmentary Demon Sprout Technique; instead, he would have stayed obediently in Konoha, becoming a Chunin who could see through the future at a glance.

"Why? The Rinnegan is the Sage's Eye. As long as you possess it, you can immediately become the top ninja in the ninja world."

"I don't feel comfortable using things that aren't mine."

After glancing at the liquid in the test tube, Hiruko showed a hint of disappointment, then glanced at Nagato's corpse lying on the ground, and continued, "Just look at him. He was a perfectly healthy person, but his body was drained by the Rinnegan. I don't want to end up like that. As a person, you still have to rely on yourself. Only things that are your own can you use with peace of mind."

"So that's why you studied the Demon Sprout, trying to turn other people's bloodline limits into your own?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Jue inwardly rolled his eyes.

Clearly, it held Birukhu's words in utter contempt.

"Fine, since you don't need it, I'll take it myself. You can continue fiddling with your damn Luo Ya."

I do not want it, and I will never force you.

It crouched down and dug out a Rinnegan from Nagato's tightly closed left eye. Just as it opened its right eyelid, preparing to dig out the Rinnegan from its right eye, it froze.

"What's going on? Where's my Rinnegan?"

"Where did that huge Rinnegan go?"

Nagato's empty right eye socket directly broke Zetsu's defense.

These are no ordinary eyes; they are the Rinnegan, also known as the Sage's Eyes.

How come one is missing?

"Did you carelessly drop it somewhere?"

Seeing Zetsu's exasperated state, Hiruko laughed gleefully.

"Drop my ass! Do you think eyes just fall out like that?"

"Hehe, then I'm not going to bother with you anymore. I'm going to rest now. I haven't slept for three days, I'm so tired."

Hiruko yawned and left, turning back to his resting place.

Meanwhile, Zetsu was still pondering why he was missing one of his Rinnegan eyes.

At this moment, White Zetsu, who was usually quiet, spoke up.

"Could it be that Nagato sensed something was wrong and hid a Rinnegan before setting off to deal with the Kumogakure ninja?"

"Yes, that's the only possibility."

Black Zetsu sighed. At this point, there was no use thinking about it anymore.

Fortunately, even with only one Rinnegan, the power it contains is still extremely strong.

Using techniques like Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in increases the consumption of chakra.

"Where do you think Nagato might have hidden the other Rinnegan?"

Black Zetsu placed his left eye into a glass container filled with liquid, wanting to hear White Zetsu's opinion.

"I don't know where Nagato hid the Rinnegan, but I'm sure he told Konan where it was kept."

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

"Really? Just as I thought."

Black Zetsu had watched Nagato and Konan grow up since they were little, and it knew all too well the feelings between them.

Nagato would never hide anything from Konan, no matter who he tries to hide it from.

"Send out more White Zetsu to scout; I need to know where Konan is now."

"clear."

White Zetsu, possessing Black Zetsu's body, accepted the order and left, leaving only Black Zetsu in the huge cave.

It stared at Nagato for a moment, then shook its head, turned around, and used its own power to create a large pit, burying Nagato's body in it.

Meanwhile, something was also happening in Orochimaru's laboratory in Konoha.

A hooded person walks through the laboratory as if no one is there.

Soon, he arrived in front of Orochimaru, who was recording data.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm back."

Orochimaru turned his head, grinned at the newcomer, and said happily, "Kabuto, welcome back."

That's right, this person is none other than Kabuto Yakushi, who went to Ryuchi Cave to learn Sage Mode.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have mastered Sage Mode."

He removed his hood, revealing his current face.

Unlike his previous handsome, boy-next-door face, his face was now covered with irregularly distributed snake scales, and his eyes had turned into amber snake pupils, making him look somewhat sinister and terrifying.

"It's good that you've learned it; it's worth the expectations I had for you."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

He sensed something was wrong.

After learning the Sage Mode, Kabuto Yakushi's attitude towards him changed noticeably compared to before.

At the very least, the old Kabuto would never look directly at him, but would instead look away slightly.

This is the weak showing respect to the strong, and it's also a way for Kabuto Yakushi to show that he is harmless.

"Kabuto, do you think you've surpassed me, so you no longer take me seriously?"

"Of course not, Lord Orochimaru."

At this moment, Kabuto, imitating Orochimaru, stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips.

"My eyes are filled with nothing but you."
