From Today On, Become a Research Expert

Although he wanted to suppress his level, that didn't mean he should just leave a pile of experience points unused.

After his long period of research, he discovered that whether it was improving his own attributes, mastering new ninjutsu, or even enhancing his passive abilities, all of these would raise his overall combat power evaluation.

But there was one type of skill improvement that did not raise his combat power evaluation.

That type of skill was the "Auxiliary Skills" he had never paid much attention to before.

Upon discovering this, he dumped all his remaining experience points into them without hesitation.

"Auxiliary Skills"

"Ninjutsu Research LV1 (0/50)"

"Ninjutsu Theory LV3 (0/70)"

"Human Anatomy Knowledge LV7 (0/70)"

"Pharmacology Knowledge LV2 (0/40)"

"Basic Poison Theory LV2 (0/40)"

"Genjutsu Explanation LV2 (3/40)"

In particular, he directly raised "Human Anatomy Knowledge," the most important skill for Orochimaru's research projects, to level 7.

Because of this, Orochimaru, who occasionally appeared in the lab, had praised him lavishly.

Kyosuke felt that Orochimaru's opinion of him was rising day by day, and the day he would truly come into contact with those "forbidden techniques" was probably not far off.

Of course, the clan still occasionally urged him, but the frequency was no longer as high as before.

After all, Kyosuke had awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan at the age of five and could even defeat a Chunin from the Hyuga Clan. Even the most demanding person probably couldn't ask for more from him.

Especially now that he had Orochimaru as a cover. Sometimes, he wouldn't even return to the clan grounds and would just stay at Orochimaru's place. The people in the clan, including the elders, didn't dare to say anything.

But he wasn't without worries.

Aside from Uchiha Nagisa occasionally throwing a tantrum because she couldn't find him, there was the problem of "patrol duty."

The Second Elder and even the Great Elder had approached him more than once, hoping he would stop going on that damn patrol. They said he'd be better off spending that time learning more from Orochimaru.

But Kyosuke turned them down every time.

Ridiculous. This was his only source of experience points at the moment. How could he just cut it off?

Still, he felt this matter couldn't be dragged out much longer. At most, he could keep being stubborn for another month before the clan elders would probably rather kill him than let him continue being willful.

A genius of the prestigious Uchiha Clan, a disciple of one of the Sannin, spending his days patrolling the streets—what kind of picture did that paint?

Because of this, Kyosuke was extremely troubled.

Soon, another month passed.

Just as Kyosuke had expected, three days ago, the Great Elder personally sent someone to find him and informed him that he had been removed from his position in the Military Police Force.

Kyosuke had no choice but to accept this reality and began searching for other stable sources of experience points.

As for the experience points he had earned over the past month, he unhesitatingly poured them into his auxiliary abilities.

"Human Anatomy Knowledge LV10 (MAX)"

"Ninjutsu Research LV3 (0/70)"

He invested a large amount of experience into these two skills.

Of course, effort always paid off.

During an assessment task Orochimaru gave him, Kyosuke, with a knowledge base almost rivaling Orochimaru's, completely "disassembled" a human body into different "units."

Orochimaru, shocked, hesitated for a long time before teaching Kyosuke another advanced field of knowledge.

This knowledge was exactly what he had been longing for: "Human Modification."

"Human Modification LV1 (0/100)"

After experimenting for a long time and finally mastering this skill, Kyosuke discovered that upgrading it would require a massive amount of experience points.

But at the same time, this indirectly proved the power of this "technique."

Biting the bullet, Kyosuke directly added the remaining 100 experience points to it, successfully raising "Human Modification" to level 2.

Now, he was ready to begin human experimentation.

As for the materials for the experiments, Orochimaru would bring some back from time to time. Kyosuke never asked who these people were or where they came from; he just threw himself into the experiments.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and the season had entered winter.

During this month, Kyosuke still hadn't found a way to stably obtain experience points.

With no other choice, he poured all his focus into his experiments.

The results were gratifying. Through his unremitting efforts, "Human Modification" had successfully reached level 3 a few days ago.

Because of this, Orochimaru specifically sought him out, praised him, and then handed him another powerful technique.

"Genetic Modification Technique."

This technique was a branch of Human Modification. Kyosuke initially thought it would be easy to master, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.

For an entire month, he had never managed to convert it into his own skill.

It wasn't until Orochimaru noticed his predicament and offered some guidance that he finally succeeded.

Only afterward did Kyosuke realize that "Human Modification" had been so easy to get into because he had prerequisite skills as a foundation, so he could learn it without anyone teaching him.

But the genetic-level stuff was something he had almost no prior exposure to, which was why learning it was so difficult.

Fortunately, he had already converted it into his own skill now; as long as he had enough experience points, improving it wouldn't be particularly hard.

However, the moment the topic of experience points came up, Kyosuke felt a pang of distress.

After all, he was using Orochimaru as a cover to gain the privilege of "not coming home at night."

Was he supposed to sneak out to find missions just for experience points? And if he got caught, how would he explain that?

So, the problem of experience points still plagued Kyosuke.

Still, matters had their priorities. If he couldn't gain experience points, then so be it. His main goal for now was still to "squeeze dry" Orochimaru.

Although he had already obtained genetics and human modification, the most crucial "Cell Transplantation Technique" and "Cloning Technique" were still beyond his grasp.

Thus, he would have to hole up at Orochimaru's place for a while longer.

As for why Kyosuke chose the path of scientific research, that had to do with the enemies he might face in the future.

The Akatsuki, the Masked Man Obito, a hundred thousand White Zetsu, Six Paths Obito, Madara, Kaguya, and then... the Otsutsuki Clan, Kinshiki, Momoshiki, and that still-unknown "Kara Organization."

With so many enemies, was he supposed to rely solely on Naruto and Sasuke to handle them? Or on Boruto?

To say the least, now that Kyosuke had come to this world, no one knew how things would develop.

What if Naruto and Sasuke's growth didn't go smoothly? Would Kyosuke have to shoulder the burden alone?

So, as long as he mastered Snake Uncle's core technology, the future Konoha could potentially produce a large number of Kage-level, God-level, and even Six Paths Level experts.

That was Kyosuke's ultimate goal.
