When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

[Kondo Mune: I think that's very possible...]

[Hozuki Gengetsu: Not bad, this kid has been pulling strings behind the scenes all along; he must have done a lot of bad things!]

[The Third Raikage: It seems this so-called system is quite humane; it actually knows Danzo is a treacherous and cunning scoundrel, so it's starting to dislike him too!]

[Yagura Karatachi: As expected of the Third Raikage, his analysis is spot on!]

Jiang Cheng: "Um... actually, I directly brought Danzo in. People I bring in don't get notification sounds!"

[The Third Raikage: ...]

[Yagura Karatachi: ...]

Kondo Mune: ...

[Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon:...]

Danzo's sudden appearance!

This surprised many people present.

but.

As Danzo's teacher, Tobirama Senju had absolutely no interest in him at this moment!

Because right now, his mind is filled with Hiruzen Sarutobi's peak combat power!

[Tobirama Senju: Everyone, don't change the subject yet, monkey. Tell me yourself, back in your prime, was your fighting power truly at the peak of Kage level?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: I think so! Back in the day, if I unleashed my full power, I could kill an ordinary Kage-level opponent in ten seconds!]

This is the main reason why many people in the village are willing to call me the strongest Hokage of all time!

When talking about his peak combat power!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was filled with pride!

That was his glorious moment.

But a pity.

That was all in the past!

Tobirama Senju: Kill a Kage-level opponent in ten seconds? If you could actually do that.

So, your peak combat strength is already almost on par with mine!

After learning about Hiruzen Sarutobi's peak combat power.

Tobirama Senju felt no jealousy whatsoever.

in contrast.

He is very happy.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was his apprentice.

My apprentice can reach the same level as me!

As his mentor, he was naturally very proud of it!

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Sigh~ Even with the strongest fighting power, what good is it? It can't escape the ravages of time.]

[Tobirama Senju: There's nothing I can do about it. If I could maintain my peak strength, I wouldn't have been killed by those two bastards, Kinkaku and Ginkaku!]

[Golden Horn: Stop talking nonsense. If you can't win, you can't win. What excuses are you making?]

[Silver Horn: That's right, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!]

Tobirama Senju: ...

Hiruzen Sarutobi: Tobirama-sensei, after living for so long, I finally understand now!

If there is no eternal life.

No matter what achievements you make, they will eventually fade into the past.

Power, strength, status, prestige—everything.

Ultimately, they all disappear with the passing of life!

[Tobirama Senju: Isn't this normal? Everyone is like this, including me, my elder brother, and Madara!]

Even ninjas who have broken through to the Kage level will eventually have their sharp edges worn away by time!

[To become a handful of yellow earth!]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: It's funny, but I'm actually starting to understand Orochimaru a little bit now!]

Perhaps this is because he has already died once!

[Tobirama Senju: Understand Orochimaru? What do you mean by that? Why do you want to understand Orochimaru? What exactly did that guy do?]

Hiruzen Sarutobi: Tobirama-sensei, you died young, so you probably don't know much about Orochimaru!

Actually, he's just like you, with a passionate pursuit of everything in the world!

Especially the thirst for knowledge about the unknown!

What he cared about most was the boundary between life and death!

[Tobirama Senju: The Boundary Between Life and Death?]

Hiruzen Sarutobi: That's right. More than a decade ago, that guy had already begun researching an extremely terrifying forbidden life technique.

Previously, when I was dueling with him, he had already told me this himself.

His research on that forbidden life technique has reached its final stage.

If the research is successful, he will become an immortal being, a being whose life will never be taken away by time!

[Tobirama Senju: An immortal, forbidden life technique? This... how is this possible?]

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words...

Tobirama Senju was completely devastated.

As a passionate ninjutsu development enthusiast!

How could he not know about this forbidden life technique!

in fact.

Back when the Impure World Reincarnation technique was being developed.

He had also considered that forbidden technique that could prolong his eternal life!

but.

The research on that kind of forbidden technique is too difficult.

Furthermore, a large number of live subjects need to be captured for clinical exploration and biological experiments!

As an upright and kind-hearted Second Hokage!

He can dig up people's ancestral graves and steal their corpses!

But I would never do anything so heinous!

After all, studying corpses is different from conducting experiments on living people.

The latter is far more cruel than the former!

And most importantly.

If you want to achieve results in researching that forbidden life technique.

The required in vivo experiments.

There are more than just one or two!

It's very likely that there are hundreds or even thousands.

even more!

Just ask!

He was the shadow of a village and also the patriarch of a prestigious family.

How could he possibly do such a thing?

Chapter 013: Jiang's ambition is too great! (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)

Just like Tobirama Senju.

The others, upon hearing that Orochimaru was researching a forbidden technique that could grant immortality, were immediately intrigued.

They all showed expressions of shock!

[Yagura Karatachi: A forbidden technique that grants eternal life... Does such a technique truly exist in this world?]

[Kondo Mune: Impossible, how could such a forbidden technique exist in this world?]

[Hozuki Gengetsu: The principle behind this forbidden technique—making oneself immortal—seems to have completely transcended the realm of mere techniques, doesn't it?]

The Third Raikage: In my opinion, Orochimaru is definitely bragging!

How could he possibly have developed such an illogical forbidden technique!

[Uchiha Izuna: Exactly! Even the Sage of Six Paths, the former leader of the Ninja Clan, couldn't achieve immortality. How could a mere ninja from a later era possibly succeed?!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Second Grandfather is right. It is said that the Sage of Six Paths' strength has surpassed that of the Super Kage!]

Even he couldn't do it!

How could Orochimaru, a mere Kage-level ninja, possibly accomplish that?

[Uchiha Shisui: Clan leader, nothing is absolute. What if Orochimaru really does succeed?]

[Uchiha Fugaku: You traitor, all you do is contradict me. Get lost, I'm not going to waste my breath on you...]

[Uchiha Shisui: ...]

Minato Namikaze: Fugaku, don't get angry yet. I don't think Shisui's words make any sense!

Look, Orochimaru's appearance hasn't changed at all since more than ten years ago. That says it all!

[Fugaku Uchiha: So what if his appearance doesn't change? What if he's like the Second Hokage, and takes good care of himself?]

[Tobirama Senju: Ahem~]

[Minato Namikaze: Your words have left me speechless...]

[Fugaku Uchiha: I'm just stating the facts. After all, the eternal technique of immortality is just too ridiculous!]

Forbidden Life Technique of Orochimaru!

Apart from a few forward-thinking ninjas such as Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha.

Everyone else was skeptical!

Even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, was the same!

But it’s no wonder.

After all, it's about making life eternal!

This is a concept that goes against all moral principles!

Who would easily believe such unrealistic things?

however.

Just as everyone was discussing and expressing their opinions...

Tobirama Senju, who once dreamed of the art of eternal life.

But then another question suddenly came to mind!

[Tobirama Senju: By the way, Orochimaru's immortality, could it be referring to that Reanimation Jutsu that Jiang mentioned before?]

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words...

The others immediately thought of this problem too!

[Uchiha Izuna: Last time I heard Jiang say that the Reanimation Jutsu can strip other people of their bodies and use them for one's own purposes!]
