Land of Earth, Konoha Base, an underground laboratory.
A corpse with only half a body lying on the experimental table.
It stands to reason that a corpse as precious as Third Raikage should be handled by multiple Jonin, but for some reason, this corpse suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's Laboratory, and Orochimaru also suddenly started researching it.
Everything was so sudden.
The first time he heard Uncle Snake say such words, with his tone and demeanor, Chen thought that Third Raikage was a fake corpse and he came here to ask for research.
In general, Third Raikage's body is not of high value to Konoha.
The dead are certainly not as valuable as the living.
Living people can exchange money, but dead people can only attract hatred.
Moreover, there are too many Seals in Third Raikage's mind, making it a mess. It's like a ball of yarn that is tangled up and cannot be untangled.
Therefore, the plan to invade Raikage's brain cells and obtain intelligence failed as expected.
Even if the two Sealing Jutsu masters Kushina and Chen join forces, with the help of the Yamanaka Clan, they cannot get rid of those Seal in the opponent's mind in a short time.
It is a huge project to completely break it open, but Konoha cannot keep this body for too long. Sooner or later, he will have to trade with Cloud to seek the end of the war.
In order to maximize the remaining value, Orochimaru turned to Third Raikage's body to conduct a detailed exploration.
If you can research Lightning Release Armor of Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha will also be very profitable.
But unfortunately, this is a secret technique.
Konoha There are also those who practice Lightning Release Armor. The early practice was okay, but in the later stage, the expected results were not achieved at all.
Therefore, Lightning Release Armor of Hidden Cloud Village is not that simple to practice. Refer to Konoha's family secrets, which almost all require the assistance of some specific items.
But that's not the point. The point is that Uncle Snake's unique hoarse laughter sounded from time to time, one after another, especially to a naked corpse.
This is a bit creepy.
All afternoon, the two of them were busy checking Third Raikage's body.
In this underground laboratory, apart from the two of them and the corpse that was stimulated by Lightning Release and occasionally twitched, there was also a Root Shinobi who was collecting data in another room.
According to Chen's observation, except for the first time he came to Land of Earth, the ninja named B appeared once. At other times, he was confined to the laboratory by Orochimaru and worked for free.
This is really squeezing labor.
Chen suddenly thought of those smoking and drinking monks in his previous life who were almost summoned by the instructor to work as coolies even before school started!
The hard life of scientific research!
"By the way, teacher, didn't you remember who that guy was?" Chen asked curiously.
Orochimaru has always said that it feels familiar, but it feels like it has been a year and there is still no progress.
Do you have to collect 100,000 materials to get a glimpse of his true appearance?
"I have some guesses. I will give him a try after a while." Orochimaru replied.
Orochimaru is somewhat familiar with that person, so he needs to investigate among his acquaintances.
Konoha There are many ninjas with white hair, such as Jiraiya and Sakumo, but these two are definitely excluded.
Who could it be... He actually thought of a childhood friend, but the other person died in the battle as early as Second Great Ninja War.
To put it bluntly, Orochimaru is just idle right now, trying to conquer the masked Root Shinobi.
Of course, he can use force to forcefully lift the opponent's mask, but this will not be beautiful and will have no sense of accomplishment.
Uncle Snake wants to rely on his personal charm, just like he conquered Jiraiya.
Chen felt a little bored. If B was an aunt, Uncle Snake would probably be so autistic that he would destroy the laboratory and escape back to the village overnight.
He suddenly thought of Kabuto, and calculating the time, he should have been born in the past two years.
In the original novel, Kabuto was picked up by Nonō. But because Butterfly Effect and Nonō have not become the directors of the orphanage, I wonder if it is possible to pick each other up.
This is a serious Dream Fulfiller. Such a handsome boy cannot just disappear like this.
"... Try applying Lightning Release to this corpse."
Seeing Chen start to lose focus, Uncle Snake decided to give his apprentice some extra work so that he could not be too leisurely.
When Orochimaru enters scientific research mode, he will feel uncomfortable when he sees anyone slacking off.
Uncle Snake was playing with Third Raikage's body like a toy. If Fourth Raikage were to know about this, the person he hates most would probably become Orochimaru.
Hey, how about finding a Cloud spy, and then using Genjutsu to transplant a fake memory, and then say that Danzo is insulting Third Raikage's body?
It seems feasible.
Chen started to wander again.
Uncle Snake sighed and decided to give up the experiment for the time being. He took off his gloves and started his daily bullshit mode.
In the words of Orochimaru, good inspiration is born inadvertently in daily life.
Chatting is undoubtedly daily life.
He also gave an example that Second Hokage was inspired to develop Space-Time Ninjutsu while going to the toilet.
After all, Chen didn't understand how going to the toilet and Flying Thunder God Technique could be related.
"How is the cleaning up outside?" Orochimaru asked.
Chen said softly, "That's almost it. We can probably set off back to Konoha the day after tomorrow."
Orochimaru nodded. "You know about Elder Homura Mitokado, leading the team to negotiate, right?"
"Yeah, I know." Chen nodded.
It is expected that Hidden Stone Village is eager to negotiate with Konoha.
Now that Hidden Stone Village wants to fight Cloud, it must give priority to reaching an agreement with Konoha.
Hidden Stone Village's loss is huge.
Ōnoki urgently needs Tailed Beast to join the war to ensure the advantage on the battlefield.
Konoha will definitely choose to trade.
Allocate Tailed Beast to each village to maintain balance. This was something First Hokage decided back then, and it was also the unspoken rule of Shinobi World.
Third Hokage will not voluntarily violate this.
It's useless to have too many Tailed Beasts. If you find any ninja Seal, it's easy for him to go berserk. This is what Shinobi World has learned over the past forty years.
The exception is Konoha, that's because of Mito and Kushina.
But Uzumaki Clan has now disappeared, and Konoha. In addition to Kushina, there is only Kana.
The medical potential that Ghana shows now is no less than that of Tsunade. There is no need to take risks with her and let her become Jinchuriki.
Therefore, it is better to keep Tailed Beast and sell it for money, which can not only subsidize the village's expenses, but also cultivate more Civilian Ninja.
Chen definitely couldn't change Third Hokage's decision, and he had no intention of leaving Tailed Beast behind.
Why keep something that is destined to be snatched away by Akatsuki?
This is just a hot potato. He has drawn enough chakra these days, even if he creates another small Tailed Beast, it will be no problem.
Let's leave it to Akatsuki.
Of course, these are not important.
The point is that Homura Mitokado has a big problem.
First, he proposed to transfer Chen and the others back, and then he was eager to trade Tailed Beast... He was another extreme "Qiu Yu" element.
Three elders, two hate Uchiha Clan.
One of them even regarded killing Uchiha Clan as one of his goals in life... Uchiha Clan, are you eating your rice?!
