"Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: the method for cultivating the Ten-Tails!"
While Orochimaru was handling official business in his office in the Northern Lands, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
This made his hand pause slightly as he reviewed the documents, and his expression was somewhat taken aback!
"The reward for defecting from Konoha is really distributed according to the time!"
I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about this mess.
After carefully examining the rewards, the method for cultivating the Ten-Tails sounds quite novel.
As he examined it, his expression gradually became more interesting. He had originally taken the flesh and blood of the Ten-Tails just to try and study it.
Let's see if I can create a humanoid weapon similar to White Zetsu.
This is great! There really is an unexpected surprise, and it seems that my wish to Ten-Tails Jinchuriki has a basis for being fulfilled!
"It seems this defection is truly unavoidable, otherwise we'd suffer a huge loss!"
Orochimaru muttered to himself, "At least in the early stages, following the original trajectory was the right thing to do."
As for what will happen in the future, he will do what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
He has already been injected with Hashirama Cells, and his physique has reached the pinnacle of the current Ninja World.
If one truly seeks a higher level, then that would be the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan is a dominant force in the universe, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the progenitor of ninjas, has her bloodline flowing through the veins of most people in the Ninja World.
Most importantly, Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was sealed on the moon for a thousand years and is still alive and well.
For these mortals in the Ninja World, a lifespan of several thousand years is already considered immortality in a cognitive sense.
Imagine that thousands of years from now, when Naruto's descendants recall their ancestor, let alone Boruto, Naruto's story will have become a story of the past.
"The bloodline of the Kaguya Clan is not easy to deal with!"
Orochimaru rested the pen on his chin and began to think carefully.
It's not impossible to obtain a blood sample from the Kaguya Clan; he remembers that the one on the moon visited Earth when she was a child.
There is no such thing as a theatrical version in this parallel world; everything that is supposed to happen will happen.
Unless it's something that happens in a limited Tsukuyomi World like the Obito created.
Otherwise, Orochimaru really wanted to bring Uzumaki Menma over.
"If Otsutsuki Toneri isn't up to it, then Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could also lend a hand!"
Ideas flashed quickly through my mind.
Now that he has higher aspirations, he will not stop at the current Hashirama Cells.
Moreover, Orochimaru's method of gaining immortality through possession weakens his soul the more he possesses, and it's unknown when his soul fragments will be exhausted.
This kind of imperfect immortality is not what he wants to see. He needs to have a longer-term vision and a broader perspective!
Orochimaru's clone began studying the cultivation data of the Ten-Tails.
The system voice is present in both the main body and the clone, so Orochimaru didn't need to write one separately.
With the data in hand, Orochimaru had another research project.
He had collected a lot of Tailed Beast Chakra before, which will surely come in handy in the future.
His current research projects involve various Kekkei Genkai, including Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku.
In his previous life, he was very interested in various Kekkei Genkai, and he is no exception in this life.
In particular, the relationship between the Shikotsumyaku and the top clans of Konoha.
Based on his knowledge, Orochimaru guessed that the Shikotsumyaku) was definitely related to the Hyuga Clan.
It should also be related to the Uchiha Clan, or the Senju Clan, or the Uzumaki Clan!
Orochimaru wasn't just making wild guesses; the Kaguya Clan is related to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and her Byakugan and Sharingan are connected to the Hyuga and Uchiha.
Just look at the Rinne Sharingan, and you'll know. The Rinnegan is also related to the combination of Hashirama and Uchiha Madara's cells.
Nagato can also nurture the Rinnegan with his own physique.
The relationships involved are far too complex to be explained simply by the Sage Body and the Sage Eye.
Otherwise, wouldn't the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan be considered part of the Sage Eye?
"It seems this experiment needs to be put on the agenda. We can't rely on the system for Kimimaro's matter; this time we really need to rely on our own abilities!"
With another research project added, Orochimaru felt even more that there wasn't enough time.
Meanwhile, in the Ninja World...
A man with long white hair and red stripes on his face was traveling through the desert of the Land of Wind.
"How could Orochimaru possibly defect!"
This person was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Sannin. Jiraiya felt extremely guilty for missing the Nine-Tails' Attack.
It couldn't have happened at the worst possible time; it just so happened to be during the few days he was out of the village. It's like he didn't check the almanac before leaving home.
He rushed back as soon as he received the news, but the matter was already over.
Fortunately, he heard that Orochimaru and Minato were still in the village, and stepped forward at the crucial moment.
However, Orochimaru disappeared that very night. The Minato couple had already sacrificed themselves and there was no going back, but he still wanted to find out why Orochimaru had left so mysteriously.
Konoha hasn't officially classified Orochimaru as Orochimaru Rogue Ninja yet because of his achievements, but that's still not a good thing.
Danzo and his Hawk Faction Danzo had been trying to classify him as Rogue Ninja, but each time they proposed it, the Third Hokage suppressed it.
Jiraiya also took advantage of this time to quickly go out and search for Orochimaru, hoping to bring him back.
Tsunade has already abandoned the village, and now Orochimaru is even more extreme, disappearing without a word.
He doesn't have the grandfather of the First Hokage or the Second Hokage, so he'll definitely be labeled a Rogue Ninja over time.
"What are you thinking? Is it really true, as Danzo said, that you can't become Hokage and will defect?"
As he trudged through the yellow sand, Jiraiya was drenched in sweat and couldn't help but curse inwardly!
He's been to several places these past few days; if it weren't for that obsession in his heart, he really would have given up.
"They're all such a worry for him. Can't he just live a peaceful life?"
Why are you imitating Tsunade? Is it because you failed to win Tsunade and want to go out for a while?
"Once we find that guy, we'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and swore, then continued on his way like a dead dog.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Ninja World.
The two women, who had also heard rumors about Konoha, were none other than Tsunade and her disciple Shizune.
It's no wonder they only received the news now; they were far away in a foreign land, where communication between countries was extremely difficult.
"Orochimaru has actually left Konoha too!"
At the dinner table, Tsunade took a big gulp of wine and spoke calmly.
It was as if she had expected this moment, but her eyes were obscure, and she didn't seem as simple as she appeared.
"Perhaps Lord Orochimaru just wanted to go for a walk!"
Shizune on the other side didn't have such complicated thoughts. She still had a good impression of Orochimaru, and in her memory, he had always been caring and attentive.
Who knows!
Tsunade shook her slightly dizzy head and continued to drink heavily!
