Alone and Infinite

Li Xia's mind raced, and he suddenly understood why Orochimaru attacked him the moment they met.

It turns out there were these three people in front.

But these three apostles had clearly forgotten one thing.

That is, the prerequisite for profiting from plot foresight is having the corresponding strength.

If you lack the strength, being a prophet of the plot will only accelerate your demise!

Fair transactions are always based on equal strength, not anything else.

The question Orochimaru was asking was clearly the final hurdle before a deal could be reached.

Neither admitting nor denying is the best option.

So the remaining path is...

Li Xia turned his gaze away from the three bodies that looked no different from the dead ones.

Instead of answering directly, he said in a relaxed tone:

"Orochimaru, I'm here to make a deal with you, not to watch the autopsy."

Even in my hometown, there's no custom of bringing guests to the slaughterhouse.

The meaning of this sentence was quite clear, and Orochimaru understood it as well.

That's something a normal person would be surprised to see. Don't use this to test yourself; it's pointless.

Orochimaru didn't give up immediately. Instead, he sat down and looked at Li Xia with a sinister expression, saying:

"These people, just like you, came directly to my door, wanting to talk about a deal."

What puzzled me was that no matter how I asked, they couldn't explain why they knew I was there.

so."

In the darkness, several figures slowly emerged and stood behind Orochimaru.

Those were his most capable subordinates at the moment: the Sound Four and Kaguya Kimimaro!

Hei Tan also brought out a gilded high-backed chair covered in velvet from his personal space.

He pushed it behind Li Xia. Hmm? Why does this chair look so familiar?

Isn't this the fancy chair that Gug made during the Ascension Battle?

Is Blackie so thrifty? He even dragged over a chair?

Li Xia also slowly sat down, crossed his legs, and rested his right arm on the armrest. A long, jet-black spear, crackling with wisps of electricity, slowly appeared in his hand.

"choke!"

Amidst the clear, resonant sound, the silence of night pierced the ground beside the chair, sinking deep into the rock.

The spear trembled, emitting a series of unsettling buzzing sounds.

"Why? Want to fight?"

Orochimaru's gaze swept over the weapon that exuded astonishing spirituality, a barely perceptible glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation."

Li Xia pondered for a moment, and just as Orochimaru was about to lose control of his killing intent, he suddenly heard Li Xia's calm voice:

Orochimaru, have you ever heard of prophecy?

prophecy?

Orochimaru was stunned. After pondering for a long time, he actually nodded and slowly said:

"I see."

He raised a hand, and the figures standing behind him silently retreated.

"Tell me, what kind of deal do you want with me, and what will I get in return?"

Huh? You actually believed that?

Li Xiaqiang suppressed his doubts, wondering what Orochimaru had just imagined.

But having achieved his goal, he no longer had any doubts. Instead, he rallied his spirits and entered trading mode.

"Knowledge."

"Knowledge?!"

Orochimaru seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke and couldn't help but let out a hoarse laugh.

Throughout the entire Naruto series, some believe in bonds, some believe in love, and some believe in pain.

Some people even believe in evil gods.

But Orochimaru was the only one who believed in science!

As the strongest scientific research talent in the ninja world, Orochimaru absolutely does not believe that anyone can provide him with satisfactory knowledge.

Li Xia flipped his hand and pulled out a bottle of vitality potion and a recovery potion, tossing them over.

"Try it—"

Relying on his overpowered ability to infinitely change bodies, Orochimaru unhesitatingly poured both bottles of potion into his mouth.

He savored it for a while, feeling the changes in his body.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and nodded:

"It's somewhat interesting, but only somewhat interesting—that's far from enough."

Li Xia smiled. This is the benefit of communicating with experts, because they can accurately determine whether what you provide is valuable.

He sat up straight, looked at Orochimaru, and asked softly:

So what is it that you desire?

What is it that you yearn for?

Orochimaru stared at Li Xia, but a hint of confusion quietly surfaced in his snake-like pupils.

At first, he was terrified of death, so he became obsessed with immortality.

But now he has achieved immortality in a certain sense, yet he has lost his direction.

Orochimaru was at a crossroads and feeling lost during this period.

But Orochimaru is Orochimaru after all. After a period of confusion, he suddenly realized what he really wanted.

That is.

"I want to understand the truth of this world, trace the origin of the ninja world, and unravel the mysteries of ninjutsu."

He looked at Li Xia with disdain and snorted coldly:

"Can you give me these?"

"Well, yes."

Chapter 250 Sharingan! Kusanagi Sword! Flying Thunder God Technique!

When Li Xia calmly said that she could, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Orochimaru stared at Li Xia with his snake-like eyes, as if he had heard the funniest joke, and asked in return:

"you can?"

Li Xia nestled comfortably in the chair. To be honest, the chair was quite comfortable; Black Charcoal had good taste.

"By the way, it seems you don't know my name yet."

Li Xia tapped his temple with his index finger, to Orochimaru's astonishment.

Those deep brown eyes gradually turned into pure white pupils, which, combined with that head of bright, dazzling white hair, created a strange sense of mystery.

"Otsutsuki Natsu!"

Orochimaru's eyebrow twitched involuntarily. Byakugan?!

And the name Ōtsutsuki... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths?

Seeing Orochimaru's expression, Li Xia realized that he indeed knew the name.

Although the surname Otsutsuki has long been buried in history, Orochimaru, as a 'mad scientist,' had searched through countless materials and even researched countless forbidden techniques.

However, we learned the origin of this name from some surviving ancient books; it refers to the Sage of Six Paths.

Orochimaru's expression turned serious, and for the first time, he asked in a transactional tone:

"So what do you want?"

Li Xia looked around at the surroundings, but did not rush to make her request:

"Let's talk somewhere else. This place doesn't feel like a trading place; it's more like a slaughterhouse."

Orochimaru readily agreed to this request and followed him to a place that was still cold and damp but was noticeably more comfortable.

Li Xia patted Hei Tan's head:

"I hope you can find someone to teach this cat how to cultivate chakra."

"Just this little thing?"

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised. Teaching animals to learn chakra was indeed a bit troublesome, after all, animals and humans have different physical structures.

Only animal clans with a lineage have the relevant training methods. These animal clans have basically signed contracts with ninjas and become summoning beast families.

"Of course not, and then I hope you can transplant the Sharingan into it!"

Orochimaru suddenly emanated an extremely cold killing intent, his snake eyes fixed on Li Xia's eyes.

He does indeed possess the Sharingan; the Sharingan left behind on the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre are all in Danzo's possession, but it's not an easy task for Danzo to transplant the Sharingan.

In their collaboration with Danzo, there were naturally many opportunities to leave behind some eyes. The methods were quite simple: experimental errors, transplant rejection, and scrapping.

Even Danzo was well aware of this small matter; if it weren't for his research on the Sharingan and the beating he received from Itachi Uchiha, he wouldn't have known.

How could Orochimaru possibly be so obsessed with the Sharingan?

But this matter is also a secret, and no one should know about it.

"Alright, stop staring at me like that."

Being stared at like that by Orochimaru actually made Li Xia more relaxed, because the more cautious and careful Orochimaru appeared.

The higher the chance of reaching a deal, the less likely Li Xia is to agree immediately; otherwise, he might just turn around and leave.

"Orochimaru, tell me, in some people's eyes, is the village more important or their clan?"

So that's how it is. Even though Danzo used so many methods, those 'Roots' were still sending messages to the clan.

Is the Otsutsuki clan a hidden force within the Hyuga clan?

Orochimaru, who felt he 'knew' everything, was actually somewhat melancholy.

Has Konoha really gotten to this point?

Li Xia, unaware of what Orochimaru, this "imagination monster," was imagining this time, opened his hand, revealing a transparent test tube filled with blood.

This is Elder Dragon Blood, a trophy from Monster Hunter World. This single vial of Elder Dragon Blood is classified as a pale purple grade in the Hall of Fame.

It also contains the secret of the ancient dragon's supernatural powers.

The Sharingan is neither common nor rare in this world.

Even the seemingly overpowered Rinnegan is not truly unsolvable; it involves the mysteries of rank and the world.

In summary, derivative or original worlds involve 'rules', 'mechanics', and 'unsolvable' items and skills.

It is not as invincible and precious as the lower-ranking apostles imagined.
