In the original story, he was only 1.5 meters tall at the age of twelve. Just thinking about that is terrifying!

It's not like it's really impossible for it to grow; he actually experimented with it in the Prince of Tennis world.

There, he was already over 1.7 meters tall at the age of 12 and over 1.8 meters tall at the age of 15. This is the result of balanced nutrition.

"I live in a cave for concealment..."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, his snake-like vertical pupils widening as he tried to refute Sasuke's statement.

But upon closer reflection, those children were indeed quite thin and weak.

Is it really because they lack money that they have excellent bloodline limits, yet their growth is restricted?

Although Kimimaro was valued by him, he was very thin and weak, and his health was starting to deteriorate.

On the contrary, Kabuto Yakushi, whom he had sent to Konoha long ago, had always been quite healthy...

"See? The so-called seclusion is just because you don't have money. If you had money, you could hire hundreds of ninjas to patrol, and you wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed."

Sasuke once again told Orochimaru that money really can reduce 99% of a person's troubles.

As for the remaining one percent...

In this world, that's what strength is.

If you are strong enough and have enough money, everyone who wants to make money will flock to you.

"Then how do you make money? By selling this kind of thing?"

Orochimaru pointed to the three options in his hand; none of these three bodies could be exchanged for money.

"Scientific research needs to be categorized. Publicly accessible products are for everyone, enhancement products are for ninjas and samurai, and then there are high-tech products that will be sold at high prices to major ninja villages, and even major nations..."

Sasuke, seeing that Orochimaru already had ideas about money, began to explain the issues of classification to him.

"Then what category does this belong to?"

Orochimaru nodded as if he understood, then pointed to the several bodies he had been given a choice of.

"This is a taboo subject. Only we ourselves and those around us who can be trained can use this kind of thing. So we need to use money earned from other sources to support our experiments in these taboo subjects. Now you understand why I said the first step is to make money, right?"

Sasuke reached out and took the paper back, then waved his hand to hide the image in the misty area.

Looking at Orochimaru, he was certain that this man had truly figured out the key to this matter.

"Understood..."

Orochimaru truly understood.

I always thought that his experiments were always unacceptable because people were wary of the content of his experiments.

However, he suddenly realized that it was because he had no money!

Furthermore, following this line of thought, he came up with the idea of ​​using various convenient and enhanced experiments to make money while hiding the most important experiments...

He hadn't even thought of that before, but now Sasuke, that kid, had figured it out!

That kid's not bad!

"It's a pity. If it were a few years earlier, I would have been happy to take on a student."

Orochimaru shook his head as he looked at Sasuke. He knew very well that the kid's strength and scientific research were now no less than his own.

Therefore, we can no longer accept such good students.

"I'm not interested in becoming an apprentice. So, let's get back to the main point: which body do you want?"

Sasuke paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile; he didn't want a teacher to keep him in check.

So, let's stick with being collaborators.

He really liked this kind of communication that was both equal and allowed him to take the lead.

"I want this one that I can put on and take off at any time. If I choose this one, it will also come with a soul cultivation method, right?"

Orochimaru looked at the three options with an expression of 'I've seen through it all,' waiting for Sasuke to show some surprise.

Unfortunately, Sasuke completely ignored him and instead found a prosthetic body after he made his choice.

"The soul cultivation method is quite simple. Although it may be difficult for others, it is different for you. As a partner, I will help you get rid of your physical body for free this time."

Sasuke placed the artificial body on the ground, then walked up to Orochimaru and pierced through his body with a single stroke.

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Orochimaru's soul, which was still in a human body with a snake tail, was pulled out.

"So, the more you change bodies, the more you resemble a snake?"

Sasuke looked at Orochimaru's appearance and suddenly felt a little lost.

He thought it would be the same as the original plot, where a snake with a human face would be pulled out.

Although he was a bit ugly, he had seen too much in Hueco Mundo and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But he really hadn't expected this kind of soul state, which was actually quite attractive.

"You...you pull it out, but you'd better put it back in!"

Orochimaru was quite pleased to see Sasuke's surprised expression, but it shouldn't have been at a time like this.

He is in a very uncomfortable state right now.

"It's quite interesting. When you have time in the future, you can study some cultivation techniques. Your form is similar to some gods in ancient legends. Maybe we can try to push you in that direction."

Sasuke placed his soul into the artificial body, then squatted down beside it, talking about the ideas that had popped into his head because of Orochimaru's soul.

Of course, he's just saying that now; this type of research and development is absolutely impossible in the short term.

Because they will be very busy next.

After all, both he and Orochimaru desperately needed to make money!

Chapter 272 Orochimaru's New Body

"Uchiha Sasuke, shouldn't you have told me beforehand?"

Orochimaru sat on the ground, staring at his snake tail in deep thought.

He possessed a body that had absolutely no side effects and was perfectly in harmony with his soul.

But...

That little rascal Sasuke didn't say beforehand that the result of wearing this body would be that even the snake tail would transform!

"As I thought, there's nothing I can do then. I just want Mr. Orochimaru to come with me somewhere so I can train your tail into legs..."

Sasuke poked the white snake tail with his finger. He had modified the artificial body a little too realistically, and he had forgotten that Orochimaru was not a normal person.

"What do you mean by cultivating to have legs? I already had legs, now I have... Who is he?"

Although Orochimaru was annoyed by the snake tail, it didn't stop him from being satisfied with his new body.

Before he could finish speaking, a Uchiha who was over 1.8 meters tall appeared in front of him.

Before he could even react, they simply picked him up and carried him on their shoulders.

"He is Ashura, my shikigami."

Sasuke watched as Orochimaru's tail naturally wrapped around Ashura's body as he was lifted up. After a brief introduction, he hurried ahead.

Sure enough, snakes like to coil around each other when they're in danger.

But Orochimaru, you're in trouble.

Cats hate being tangled up. Ashura is going to carry you somewhere now, but what about afterwards...?

Cats and snakes are probably not supposed to be friendly.

"Shikigami? Legendary shrine maidens seem to have possessed this type of ability, but such beings no longer exist..."

Orochimaru was completely unaware of the danger he was about to face and was still discussing the concept of shikigami with Sasuke.

"Onmyoji, shrine maidens, samurai, demon race, exorcists... these all existed before chakra appeared. I used to have a profession, Onmyoji. You can think of that as my past life."

Sasuke and Orochimaru were talking about Onmyoji, and Orochimaru was very interested in this kind of existence that he had never encountered before.

After the two arrived at the location chosen by Black Zetsu for the laboratory construction site, Sasuke greeted a waiting White Zetsu. They then passed through a large tree and arrived at the underground laboratory that was under construction.

"It's safe here, Master. Please excuse me for a moment. I'm afraid I might do something that's inappropriate for you to see."

Ashura looked around, found a well-built secret room, greeted Sasuke, and carried Orochimaru, who had already realized something was wrong but couldn't struggle, inside.

As the door to the secret room closed, the unfinished basement suddenly began to tremble.

"Your cat is behaving too violently..."

Black Zetsu emerged from the ground beside him, his face showing a wronged expression.

He was just curious, so he went over to take a look, and then he was attacked indiscriminately.

That wasn't just a cat, it was a demon! Poor Orochimaru...

"It's alright. Experiencing more setbacks will help Orochimaru's training."

Although Sasuke couldn't see it, he knew that Ashura had been enduring all along.

Now, let's just hope Orochimaru can stay conscious.

"I am innocent!"

Seeing that Sasuke didn't seem to care at all, Black Zetsu could only emphasize that he had also been hit.

"Who told you to be so curious? When Ashura gets angry, I have to soothe him and calm him down. What good is it for you to come to me now? Do you expect me to comfort you again?"

Sasuke tilted his head and looked at Black Zetsu, thinking, "Can't this guy stop looking so aggrieved?"

He's supposed to be the ultimate boss, so he should act like a villain, instead of acting like a baby who hasn't been weaned.

"Why don't you try coaxing him?"

Black Zetsu squatted down next to Sasuke, pitifully raising his head to look at Sasuke.

He's never been coaxed before...

"good..."

Sasuke reached out and patted Black Zetsu's head, just like he would when coaxing Ashura.
