The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Although Souji is not sure how Orochimaru obtained this ninjutsu in the original work, he now possesses this ninjutsu in public.

Apart from Souji, there is probably only the Third Hokage.

Of course, this ninjutsu may still exist among Konoha's high-level officials.

After all, the source of this ninjutsu is the Uzumaki clan of the Whirlpool Country. After the demise of the Whirlpool Country, Danzo brought all the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan back to Konoha.

There is a high probability that one of them possesses the ninjutsu of Shiki Fuujin.

Minato and the Third Hokage should have different views on the origin of this ninjutsu.

Minato may have obtained the Shiki Fuujin from Uzumaki Kushina, the last heir of the Uzumaki clan.

As for the Third Hokage, he should have learned this ninjutsu from the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique that he brought back.

But the source of all this is the Uzumaki clan of the Whirlpool Country.

When Cangsi discussed his return plan with Minato, he had already asked Minato for this ninjutsu, so Cangsi has it in his hands now.

Moreover, as Cang Si said, just in case, he actually always carries this ninjutsu with him, so that he can give it to Orochimaru one day and ask the other party to help crack it.

Now, this opportunity has finally come.

After taking the scroll of the Shikigami Fūjin from Soji, Orochimaru did not open it to check it immediately, but just kept staring at Soji.

"Well, Teacher Orochimaru, is there anything else?" After being stared at by Orochimaru for a long time, Cang Si couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, shouldn't I be the one asking you this question, Cang Si? Do you have anything else to do right now?" Orochimaru said with a snort.

However, it can be seen that Orochimaru is in a very good mood right now.

Moreover, not only did Cang Si change the way he addressed Orochimaru, but Orochimaru also began to call Cang Si by his name directly, and no longer mentioned the word "Jun" after his name.

This also means that Orochimaru has tacitly accepted Souji's address to him as teacher.

But Orochimaru would never admit this kind of thing himself.

For him, being able to achieve this is already the limit.

"So, Mr. Orochimaru, you agreed to help me break the Shikigami Fūjin, right? Thank you so much!" Cang Si said excitedly after realizing it belatedly.

Orochimaru's words not only represented his tacit approval of their master-disciple relationship, but also agreed to Souji's request.

Cang Si could easily hear this, so he acted so excited now.

Because for Cang Si, the task of rescuing Minato is half completed.

As for whether Orochimaru could break the Shikigami Fūjin, that was not within Soji's consideration at all.

He was able to decipher the original work. In this life, Orochimaru's scientific research ability is even more abnormal. It doesn't make sense that he can't do it?

It can be said that after Orochimaru agreed to Souji, this return plan was no longer particularly difficult.

As long as it is related to scientific research, there is basically no thing that can stump Orochimaru!

"Cang Si, what's up with that Uchiha kid next to you? I remember your teammate was the one called Uchiha Yan, right? He's not this old. He looks only 10.

"After finishing the main business, Orochimaru also asked about another matter.

Originally, when the sturdy man from the Fuma clan came to report to him, he thought that the person next to Cang Si was Uchiha Yan.

However, after arriving here, Orochimaru observed through his summoning beast and found that the person traveling with Souji was actually just a kid from the Uchiha clan, which surprised Orochimaru.

If the two parties had not confirmed the master-disciple relationship just now, Orochimaru was not going to ask about the purpose of Souji's trip.

However, now that Cang Si calls him teacher and he has chosen to accept this relationship between the two, he has reason to ask himself, his disciple, what he wants to do.

It's normal for a teacher to care about his students' itinerary, right?

On the contrary, it would be strange if a teacher turned a blind eye to all the actions of his students!

Therefore, Orochimaru raised his doubts very reasonably.

However, he did confirm what Cang Si said at the beginning, that he just happened to pass by the Land of Sound and came to see him.

After all, if Cang Si really came to the Land of Sound to find him, there would be no need to bring a child who is only about 10 years old with him.

And this child is a ninja from Konoha Uchiha.

If his private meeting with Souji was discovered by the other party, it might have a certain impact on Souji in Konoha.

Anyway, if Orochimaru put himself in Souji's shoes, he would definitely not bring such a troublesome boy around and then go out to meet important people.

And Orochimaru also believed that Cang Si would not be such a person who did not know the importance of the matter.

If the relationship between the two were exposed to everyone in Konoha, it would not be a big deal for him, but Cang Si would definitely be in trouble.

"Yes, teacher, I was asked by Yan to take care of his junior for the time being.

His name is Uchiha Shisui, and he is the focus of training of the Uchiha clan now.

So the Uchiha clan assigned Shisui a training mission, Yan was injured for some reason, and now I am responsible for taking care of this little guy Shisui."

Cang Si told Orochimaru everything without hiding anything.

Orochimaru has helped me so much, it would be a bit too unkind of me if I kept such a small thing from him.

Moreover, Cang Si also realized that Orochimaru might not be as interested in the Sharingan as in the original work.

Of course, if Orochimaru knew the specific information about Uchiha Shisui, he might also become interested in him.

Well, I became interested in Shisui's body.

After all, Shisui's talent is no worse than Uchiha Itachi's. Orochimaru would be so interested in Uchiha Itachi's body, there is no reason for him to let Uchiha Shisui go.

But since Orochimaru didn't ask, Souji wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative.

Because for the time being, Shisui is a knife that Souji uses to deal with Danzo, and he does not want Orochimaru to obtain Shisui's body.

If Orochimaru really wants an Uchiha body, Souji could provide him with a three-magatama Uchiha someday.

No matter how you look at it, Cang Si is quite respectful to his teacher, there is absolutely no doubt about that!

"The Uchiha clan gives their younger generations training missions. That's interesting. So, Cangsi, can you tell me the content of the mission?" Orochimaru asked tentatively.

It’s not that Orochimaru was really interested in the so-called training mission of a junior, but he mainly wanted to see Souji’s attitude.

"Of course there is no problem, teacher. Shisui's mission is to go to the Land of Hot Springs and burn the logistical supplies of Kumogakure, and I am mainly responsible for protecting his safety." Cang Si fully demonstrated his nature of answering every question.

Anyway, as long as Orochimaru asked, he would tell the truth and not lie.

On the other hand, if Orochimaru hadn't asked, Souji wouldn't have said irrelevant things so many times in one go.

When it comes to attitude, Souji is absolutely upright and won't make Orochimaru feel that there is any problem.

"Hmm? Since we are going to the Land of Hot Springs to burn down Kumogakure

Why did you two take a detour to the Land of Sound to get the logistics supplies?" After Cang Si finished explaining the mission, Orochimaru suddenly had such a doubt.

This is also normal. The road from Konoha to the Land of Hot Spring does not require passing through the Land of Sound. But now Souji and Shisui have come here. How could Orochimaru not have any questions?

"This is the plan that Shisui came up with. He wants to go through the Land of Sound, cross the sea to the Land of the Moon, and then enter the Land of Hot Spring from the rear, directly attack the logistics forces of the Hidden Cloud Village, and burn the supplies there." In response to Orochimaru's inquiries, Souji explained every detail clearly.

Not to mention Orochimaru, anyone could probably understand what Cang Si meant.

“Interesting little guy, his idea is good, if the mission has enough time, this is indeed the best way.

Kumogakure must have placed the supplies behind the Kingdom of Hot Springs, and you directly bypassed the Kumogakure frontline troops, so the success rate of the mission is indeed very high!"

Even with Orochimaru's vision, he couldn't help but admire Uchiha Shisui for being able to come up with such a good idea at such a young age.

Orochimaru is not just a simple scientist, he is also very good at leading troops in battle.

Whether it is the Second Ninja World War or the current Third Ninja World War, Orochimaru has commanded countless battles, and so far no country has been able to gain an advantage over Orochimaru.

Let me give you a few examples. During the Second Ninja World War, Orochimaru killed Bruhi, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the previous generation of Kumogakure.

This led to a great war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, laying a solid foundation for Konoha's victory.

During the Third Ninja World War, he led Konoha to victory in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain against Sunagakure.

It can be said that Orochimaru definitely had great military achievements, otherwise he would not have been the first candidate for the fourth Hokage in the beginning.

If Minato hadn't been stabbed in the back by that traitor Danzo, he would never have been able to take away the position of the Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, it is definitely a rare thing that Shisui's plan can be recognized by Orochimaru.

Because when it comes to fighting, Orochimaru has very high standards!

"Yes, this little guy is really good. If you were still in Konoha, I would like to suggest that you accept Shisui as my junior fellow apprentice." Cang Si also said with a smile.

This is probably the rhetoric that Cangsi uses to further improve his relationship with Orochimaru.

Sure enough, after hearing what Cang Si said, Orochimaru also smiled. He found Cang Si's words very useful.

"Okay, I know the purpose of your coming to the Land of Sound. You want to borrow our passage, right? I will tell the people below not to stop you on your journey." At this point, Orochimaru also understood the purpose of Souji and Uchiha Shisui.

For such a small matter, he only needed to give orders to his subordinates, and it would not be a big deal.

In addition, Uchiha Shisui did not know that he was the founder of Sound Village. Even if Souji, who is now his disciple, knew about it, it would not affect his continued hiding here.

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher." Cang Si bowed slightly to Orochimaru and said.

"Go, I should go back and continue my research. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to the Land of Sound for a visit." Turning around and walking towards the depths of the forest, Orochimaru's voice came from afar.

"Yes, Teacher Orochimaru, I will come to the Land of Sound to visit you when I have time. Well, I will leave with Shisui first." Cangsi said respectfully to Orochimaru's departing back.

Orochimaru, who was leaving, just paused for a moment and continued to walk forward until his figure completely disappeared from Cang Si's sight.

It can be said that Cang Si solved all the problems perfectly during this trip!

Chapter 371 Ice Path

After leaving, Orochimaru quickly returned to the experimental base.

"Lord Orochimaru, you seem to be in a good mood. Is there something to be happy about?" One of Orochimaru's assistants asked respectfully.

He saw the smile on Orochimaru's face that he couldn't hide, so he dared to ask boldly.

Besides, even if Orochimaru wanted to put a living person on the test table, he would rarely look for people in scientific research.

After all, the resources and energy consumed in training a scientific research talent are definitely much greater than those consumed in training an ordinary ninja.

Therefore, unless normal scientific researchers make serious mistakes, Orochimaru will be relatively tolerant of them.

Moreover, the number of scientific researchers under Orochimaru is definitely far less than the number of ninjas following him.

"Hmph, I guess I have accepted a rather interesting disciple." Orochimaru, who was in a good mood, directly answered the researcher's question.

Since his subordinates had already discovered it, Orochimaru had no intention of hiding it.

"Ah, congratulations to Lord Orochimaru for having a proud disciple!" Upon seeing this, the researcher immediately flattered him.

No matter who the disciple Orochimaru accepted is, it is right to praise him now.

Since that disciple can make Orochimaru happy, the more he praises that disciple, the happier Orochimaru will be.

This researcher is definitely well aware of this.

"My favorite disciple? Haha, maybe. This scientific research project will be handed over to you in the future." Orochimaru chuckled and threw a document in his hand to the researcher.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru! I will do my best to complete it!" A big pie fell on his head, and the researcher's eyes immediately lit up.

He knew that his bet on taking the risk of talking to Orochimaru was a good one!

If it weren't for the disciple who just talked to and praised Orochimaru, he would never have been able to get such a scientific research project.

He was now extremely grateful to the disciple who made Orochimaru so happy today.

The other staff members standing by had faces full of regret.

If they could go back in time, they would never be willing to fall behind that researcher.

All they can say is that if they were a step slower, the opportunity would have slipped away from them. Now, they can only stare at the researcher who spoke first with expressions of envy and jealousy.

Orochimaru no longer cared about the intrigues among his group of scientific researchers, but continued with his own research.

For him, there are too many research projects on hand and he definitely cannot handle them all by himself.

Therefore, sometimes it is not a big deal for him to appropriately assign some projects that are not too important or that do not interest him to his subordinates for research.

However, these research projects, which Orochimaru does not attach much importance to, would definitely be big projects if placed in the eyes of ordinary scientific researchers.

Just producing one result can benefit them for a lifetime!

It can be said that as long as they are scientific researchers, everyone wants to obtain one or two research projects from Orochimaru.
