Chapter 285

Once they are gathered together, they will become a formidable fighting force.

The entrance to Otogakure (Otogakure).

With Orochihime's return, she pondered these matters while her heart was filled with hatred, and she kept replaying the various scenes of Amakawa Akito humiliating her.

"Who goes there?!"

Just then...

A ninja from the Otogakure blocked Orochihime's path.

Normally, Orochihime uses the "Vanishing Facial Copy Technique" to cover her face.

This is used to conceal the appearance, physique, and even gender of the reincarnated body.

But now...

Orochihime didn't use her original form, but instead appeared directly in the original appearance of this body, so naturally she wasn't recognized.

In the past, Orochihime would have simply glared at her, releasing her killing intent as a warning and a display of authority.

And now...

Orochihime, in a very bad mood, immediately attacked, casually waving her hand.

His arm transformed into a sharp weapon, instantly taking the life of his subordinate.

Laugh!!

Blood splattered onto the ground.

His subordinate collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated.

"Huff... huff..."

Orochihime was panting heavily, her temper flaring even more.

The public murder caused a slight pause in the atmosphere of the village.

Then, many ninjas arrived from all directions.

They looked at the suddenly appearing "woman" with unfriendly expressions.

Just like in the Chunin Ninja Exams, Hiruzen Sarutobi failed to recognize his beloved student standing beside him.

Having changed her body, Orochihime is unlikely to be recognized by most people.

"Step back!"

Seeing that a group of people were about to die, becoming tools for Orochihime to vent her hatred and anger.

A sharp shout silenced everyone!

Then, a little child with long white hair came out.

He has two birthmarks between his eyebrows.

Her robes fluttered in the wind.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kimimaro bowed slightly in greeting.

This statement shocked everyone.

But then everyone remembered that disguise was a basic skill of ninjas.

So... it's perfectly normal for Lord Orochimaru to turn into whatever form he wants.

So, is this a test?

Everyone lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear.

The imposing presence established by Orochihime had long since extinguished any thought of resistance in them.

The four children following behind Kimimaro were Sound Four.

Like Kimimaro, they were expressionless.

The "Cursed Seal" on their bodies allows them to sense the presence of Orochihime.

Therefore, just like Kimimaro, he immediately guessed the woman's identity.

"Lord Orochimaru, this way please."

Kimimaro led the way to welcome Orochihime's return.

Orochihime, in a very bad mood, remained silent and slowly walked towards the entrance of the underground structure...

Once Orochihime and the Sound Five had disappeared from sight...

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

The unfortunate man's body was disposed of quickly.

Another question arose in everyone's mind: Lord Orochimaru... why does he maintain a female appearance?

Underground space.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses and began to report his detailed observations of Kirigakure.

"Alright." He was interrupted by Orochihime halfway through his sentence.

Dou blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Has... something happened?

At that time, Orochihime ordered him to leave immediately, and Kabuto did so.

Therefore, Kabuto was unaware that Orochihime had been subjected to three days and three nights of continuous torture in the Kirigakure Wilderness...

"Where's the letter?" Orochihime asked.

"The letter is still being tested," Kabuto Yakushi replied immediately.

The arm transplant experiment requested by Danzo is being carried out very seriously by our side.

After all, it concerned Danzo's promise.

Once the arm transplant is complete, he will give his team the scroll of "S-Rank Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation"!

211. Orochihime and Nobu, cloning technology

Orochihime calmed herself down, got up, and walked deeper into the underground.

Kimimaro gave the four of them a wink.

The Sound Four then left.

Next, Kabuto and Kimimaro caught up with Orochihime.

Glug glug...

Various tissues floated inside the life support container.

There are single organs, partial tissues, and... nearly complete human bodies.

Countless life support containers and vessels contain the results of biological experiments.

A pale-skinned boy stood in front of the platform, having blood drawn from one of his arms.

"Letter."

A voice came from behind.

Xin turned around and looked at the woman expressionlessly.

"Orochimaru... teacher."

Letter.

Orochihime's disciple.

They were not kidnapped, nor were they coerced or lured.

Instead, they came to us on their own initiative.

At first, Orochihime didn't pay any attention to him.

Until he displayed his extraordinary talent.

No Kekkei Genkai will cause rejection in his body.

Even... including Hashirama Senju's Wood Release cells!!!

This is an astonishing achievement, and it will propel the level of biological experimentation to an unimaginable degree!

Therefore, Xin immediately progressed from a nobody to a subordinate, then to a test subject, and finally to a disciple.

The multiple identities have been transformed.

She was Orochihime's second disciple, after Mitarashi Anko.

Xin demonstrated sufficient talent.

As long as he keeps transplanting various Kekkei Genkai into his body, eventually... he might even become the second Sage of Six Paths...

If that's the case.

Orochihime will eventually consider eliminating him because of the threat he poses.

However.

His mind... or rather his way of thinking, has a single, biased flaw.

Shin, who called himself "Shin Uchiha".

He greatly admired Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi, who slaughtered his clan and joined Akatsuki, is seen as humanity's savior and the one whose mark represents the right path humanity should take.

What is a human being?

Xin believes that humans are the cruelest creatures.

They continuously devour other creatures, eventually standing at the top of the food chain.

In other words, struggle is a human instinct.

That's what ninjas are.

In the course of constant battles, new Ninjutsu, new talents, Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Tōta techniques, and so on emerge.

This suggests that human evolution unfolds through struggle.

So...

Itachi Uchiha Clan and used struggle to place himself at the top.

They are the guides on the path of human evolution!

The same applies to human genes.

When parents give birth to children, the children are a continuation of their parents' genes.

And the children will continue their parents' struggle.

Thus, concepts like family, bloodline, and lineage came into being.

Ultimately, everything is preparation for "struggle → evolution".

It is precisely because of this kind of biased thinking.

He fanatically worshipped Itachi Uchiha's power.

He also tried to install the Sharingan on himself.

This perfectly aligns with Danzo's request.

Danzo wanted to obtain the combined power of Hashirama Senju and the Uchiha clan.
