Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Um...Mother-in-law Mito, I'm very busy..."

Orochimaru looked at Uzumaki Mito in embarrassment. She had a lot of things to research, and the most important thing at the moment was to study the Zero Tail. He had to do the research while the Zero Tail was still controllable. If the Zero Tail changed from a beast relying on instinct to a being with self-awareness, it would not be so easy to use it for experiments.

"It's not impossible to take some time to go and have a look..."

Orochimaru said dejectedly that she shouldn't have said such a mean thing at that time.

If I weren't so mean, I wouldn't have so many things to do. I already have a lot of things to do, and now I've taken on another crappy job.

"Then it's settled."

Uzumaki Mito touched Orochimaru's head with a gentle and kind smile on his face.

Grandma Mito, your smile looks a bit scary...

Orochimaru sighed helplessly and said, "Mother-in-law Mito, do you and Chigusa have anything else to say? If not, I will send her back. If the barrier you set up lasts too long, it will arouse suspicion."

"There's nothing more to say. I'm relieved to know that the people in the village are doing well in the Land of Waves."

Uzumaki Mito squinted her eyes and said kindly, she guessed that the relationship between Orochimaru and White Snake Medical Technology Company was not as simple as cooperation.

It can be said that she watched Orochimaru grow up, from the age of 6 to 14, more than 8 years, and she has some understanding of her.

"Chigusa, you've done very well. You've done everything you could under the circumstances."

Uzumaki Mito looked at Uzumaki Chigusa tenderly and said earnestly, "No one is omnipotent. This is also true for Hashirama, who is known as the God of Ninja. He also has many regrets."

"Yes, Mito-sama!"

Although Uzumaki Chigusa has not completely let it go, she is not so bothered by it anymore.

Volume 120: Chapter : Confused Jiraiya

In the huge space under the laboratory, a body like a zero-tailed snake coiled up, raised its neck high and looked down at Orochimaru, and the sealing technique of the Yin-Yang Seal spiraled on its body.

Orochimaru held a syringe in his hand and drew blood from the Zero-Tail. Looking at the bright red blood in the syringe, she could feel the vitality contained in it.

This was not the first time she had drawn Zero Tail's blood. Under the restraint of the Yin-Yang Seal, Zero Tail was still quite obedient.

The Zero-Tails, which failed to devour the Nine-Tails, continued to grow its chakra at a slow rate.

Orochimaru realized that the Zero-Tails was absorbing natural energy and converting it into chakra bit by bit. This method of refining chakra was exactly the same as the Nine-Tails.

It would be better to say that the tailed beasts inherited abilities from the sacred tree. As chakra with life, the tailed beasts do not need to eat. They will not feel hungry by absorbing natural energy, and the chakra of the tailed beasts is naturally converted through natural energy.

In a room in the laboratory, Orochimaru looked at the analysis report of his blood. After comparing the data after multiple analyses, his cells had indeed changed, becoming closer to the three snake princesses of Ryuchi Cave, and his lifespan had also increased.

However, she is still far from the level of the three snake queens who can easily live for a thousand years. Judging from the analysis of the data, it is not a problem for her to live to be one hundred and fifty or sixty years old.

The changes in my cells are because I underwent a complete snake transformation and metamorphosed into a dragon, which caused my cells to become like this.

This also means that Longdidong's perfect sage mode itself has the characteristics of changing the race of the cultivator.

The ones in Ryuchi Cave transformed into snakes, and the ones in Myoboku Mountain transformed into frogs.

The danger level of practicing Sage Mode in Myoboku Mountain is lower, and the perfection of Sage Mode is determined by the degree of frogification in Sage Mode. The less obvious the frogification, the more perfect the Sage Mode.

This can be seen from Jiraiya's Sage Mode. His Sage Mode is not perfect and still requires the assistance of two sages.

The Sage Mode of Ryuchidong is just the opposite. The closer the appearance and body shape are to the Sage of Ryuchidong, the more perfect the Sage Mode is. The Sage Mode of Orochimaru, who has completely transformed into a snake and shed his skin to become a dragon, is undoubtedly a perfect Sage Mode.

Although it is dangerous, the rewards are also very rich.

It seemed that continuing to study my cells was a waste of time.

The data in Orochimaru's hand turned to ashes, was blown away by the wind and fell into the trash can.

"Orochimaru, this is the analysis data of Zero Tail's blood."

Hinata Mio pushed the door open and walked in. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. Her cold white eyes were covered by glasses with gold frames. She was wearing a black fishnet top under a white coat. It was actually an inner armor made of a mixture of iron wire, which was light and breathable.

The defense is not very good, but it can at least withstand some damage caused by ninja tools.

If you really want to rely on this thing to defend against the attacks of ninja tools, it would be better to wear armor.

"What are you doing?"

Hinata Mio noticed the ashes in the trash can, which were obviously left after the paper used to print the analysis data was burned.

Orochimaru took the analysis data handed over by Hinata Mio and said: "Analyzing the data of my blood and studying my cells is a waste of time. It is better to study the cells of Zero Tail."

"Mio, it's time to conduct a new experiment."

Orochimaru walked past Hinata Mio while looking at the analysis data.

"Orochimaru, what about your training in the Ryuchi Cave?"

Hinata Mio remembered Orochimaru saying that her training in Ryuchi Cave was interrupted, not completed.

Orochimaru paused, glanced at Hinata Mio from the corner of his eye, smiled and said, "The training in the Ryuchi Cave is barely complete. There's no need to waste time going there again, at least not now."

Orochimaru felt that he was almost too busy and had too many things to do.

What effect will the liquid contact lens have after being injected with senjutsu chakra? It was not convenient to try it in the Ryuchi Cave before. It would be bad if it hurts the eyes.

Perhaps it is possible to develop liquid contact lenses that can be used in Sage Mode, and it is not impossible that they can be injected with Sage Chakra to resist the illusions of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In fact, it would be more convenient to create a snake's cornea to resist the illusion, but she didn't like the feeling of losing her vision.

Research on chakra toxins is still ongoing, and we need to find a way to make the toxins devour chakra and proliferate faster in the victim's body.

Biotechnology has made considerable progress after obtaining the forbidden technique of Shennong. Through the research on zero-tail cells, new results will be achieved in the near future.

She still has to solve Nana's problem when new research results come out.

At the experimental base, the research on chakra explosives was changed to the research on fairy explosives. The fairy chakra refined by the shadow clones absorbing natural energy was sufficient.

As for the pupil-sealing curse, she never gave up her research. Even if it could have a tiny impact on eyes of the level of the Rinnegan, the time she spent on researching the pupil-sealing curse would not be wasted.

The practice of changing the nature and form of chakra did not stop.

Despite experiencing many failures, Orochimaru still did not give up the idea of rubbing the Truth-Seeking Ball with his hands.

The Truth-Seeking Jade is more useful than any bloodline limit. When she can rub the Truth-Seeking Jade with her hands, she won't want the Kusanagi Sword, a piece of junk metal given to her by the three snake princesses. How can the Kusanagi Sword be as useful as the Truth-Seeking Jade!

Not to mention, she also promised Grandma Mito that she would occasionally visit the Sealing Class and maybe even give a lecture on the podium.

I definitely can't use shadow clones for this. If I get discovered, Grandma Mito will be angry again.

Alas, wouldn’t it be difficult for her to give lectures?

Will she?

Is she the right material?

Outside Konoha, the wreckage of the Aerial Fortress of the Sorrow Ninja was left. After discussion, the Konoha high-level officials did not demolish it but left it there as a symbol that the people of Konoha worked together to defeat the Aerial Ninja Ninja who attacked Konoha.

After a thorough search of the aerial fortress, it was confirmed that there was nothing useful there. It was no longer off-limits to people, but became a tourist destination for Konoha, the surrounding villages, and the Land of Fire.

"Why did it become like this!"

Jiraiya collapsed and knelt on the ground with his hands on his head, looking at the wreckage of the aerial fortress in front of him.

"Why was I training in Myoboku Mountain when the village was attacked? Is it really because I was away from Konoha that the enemy dared to attack Konoha? This is all my fault!"

When the people around heard the first half of the sentence, they thought that this kid was blaming himself for not participating in the defense of Konoha. But when they heard the arrogant and narcissistic words in the latter part, the way they looked at him became subtle, the look of caring for a fool.

"Isn't this person a fool?"

"Mom, what happened to that big brother?"

"Baby, be good and don't look at him. If you look at a fool for too long, you will become a fool too."

Jiraiya saw people around him pointing at him, his face turned red and he quickly stood up from the ground and brushed the dust off his pants.

"puff……"

Orochimaru couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

"Hey! What are you laughing at?"

Jiraiya pointed at Orochimaru in anger.

"Jiraiya, have you just returned from Mount Myōboku?"

Orochimaru raised his hood slightly, revealing his cold and quiet face.

"Big...big...big sister? Yours!"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, who looked much more mature and handsome than he had imagined.

boom--!

Orochimaru couldn't help but punch Jiraiya on the head.

"I never thought that so many things would happen shortly after I left the village. Is it really because of the intimidation of Master Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya pointed at himself with his right thumb, showing his big white teeth, feeling as good about himself as ever.

"By the way, Orochimaru, why have you grown so much? What new pills have you developed? The kind that can make you grow bigger after taking them?"

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and looked at Orochimaru flatteringly, breathing heavily through his nostrils, as if he had thought of something. He said impatiently, "You have developed such a powerful pill, you must let me try it. You don't have to make me too old... 20 years old, no! How about 18? 18 years old is enough!"

"Jiraiya, you think too much. My changes are due to the results of my training in the Ryuchi Cave."

Orochimaru looked speechlessly at Jiraiya, who seemed to have thought of some terrible thing, and moved aside.

"You found the Longdi Cave! How's the training there? How's the food? You don't need to eat bugs like me, do you?"

Jiraiya was looking forward to Orochimaru's eating in the Ryuchi Cave. He could now eat all kinds of live insects without batting an eyelid.

But the problem is that he really doesn't like eating bugs!

Eating insects doesn't do anything good for my cultivation...it's just too painful...

"I brought food with me when I went to Ryuchi Cave to train. This was just in case something like you ended up in a situation like Jiraiya. I don't want to end up on a feast of bugs."

Orochimaru saw Jiraiya's ill-intentioned expectations, and it was a pity that he was disappointed. The food made by the three snake princesses in Ryuchi Cave was very normal food, but the taste was a little lacking.

Jiraiya yelled in disappointment, "How cunning! Orochimaru, you should also experience the feeling of eating insects!"

"Even if I don't bring any food with me, I don't have to eat bugs. The three beautiful snake princesses who helped me practice in Longdi Cave are here. There are photos of them."

Orochimaru took out a photo of himself with the three snake princesses.

"Why is this happening... I'm training at Myoboku Mountain... Toads... There are toads everywhere..."

Jiraiya looked at the three snake princesses in the photo, each of whom was beautiful in their own way, and became completely withdrawn. He banged his head against the tree trunk again and again, and recalled that all he encountered were toads in Myoboku Mountain. His mentality collapsed.

It’s the same practice, why is there such a big difference?

"Are you OK?"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya who was badly hit.

Jiraiya said with tears and snot, "I also want a beautiful big sister to help me practice!"

Not to mention a beautiful older sister, even a beautiful younger sister could double his motivation to practice, and he might have already cultivated the perfect Sage Mode!

(Fukasaku & Shima:?)

"You stay away from me!"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya as if he were a dirty thing and moved away from him with disgust.

Can't this idiot Jiraiya be a little more normal?

"Hasn't the Great Toad Immortal given you a prophecy yet?"

Orochimaru crossed his arms across his chest. Judging from Jiraiya's appearance, it was estimated that the Great Toad Sage's prophecy would only come true in the next two years.

In a few years, the conflicts between the ninja villages of various countries will intensify and they will have to prepare for war. What's the point of him traveling around the countries?

"not yet."

Jiraiya thought about the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage about him and also about what Orochimaru said many years ago. He didn't want to know the prophecy, but he also wanted to know it, after all, it was a prophecy about his future.

But does his future really have to be determined by prophecies?

Jiraiya was a little confused about this question.

Volume 121: Chapter : Reverse Curse Blood Seal

In a huge culture tank, a piece of meat cultivated with zero-tail cells was squirming. It didn't take long for the cell to grow into a piece of meat. It absorbed the nutrients and natural energy in the culture medium and grew to this size in a very short time.
