Uchiha Fugaku

Uchiha Sasuke was frozen in place by the genjutsu.

Su Yu took the opportunity to leave.

Tayuya and Jirobo watched Uchiha Sasuke, then hoisted him up and carried him away.

Su Yu walked all the way to the end of the corridor and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later.

Yakushi Kabuto opened the door and looked at Su Yu with a smile.

Su Yu walked into the room, saw Orochimaru sitting in a chair, and bowed.

"Lord Orochimaru."

"Su Yu-kun, your performance was excellent."

Orochimaru looked at Su Yu with an expression of appreciation.

"I just worked a little harder than the others," Su Yu said modestly.

"Hard work alone doesn't always guarantee a return. The fact that you were able to develop an S-rank ninjutsu proves that you are very talented—at the very least, no weaker than Kakashi." Orochimaru scrutinized Su Yu.

"Kakashi's Sharingan is a burden on him," Su Yu said after a moment of hesitation.

"That kind of transplanted Sharingan puts a great strain on the body, which is why I never transplanted one myself," Orochimaru nodded.

Hearing this, Su Yu confirmed the doubt he had harbored for a long time.

Orochimaru did indeed possess a Sharingan, but because of the side effects, he had chosen not to transplant it.

"Su Yu-kun, is there something you need from me by coming here?" Orochimaru shifted the topic.

"I am very interested in the Impure World Reincarnation, especially those who possessed a Kekkei Genkai in life. I obtained the Impure World Reincarnation from Konoha and would like to experiment with it," Su Yu said, enunciating every word.

Orochimaru was taken aback.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Su Yu.

"I have plenty of materials here. Let Yakushi Kabuto take you to pick out a few."

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru. By the way, I have discovered the hiding place of the Three-Tails. Are you interested in the Tailed Beasts?" Su Yu asked.

"Where is the Three-Tails hiding?" Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

"It is on the coast of the Land of Fire. This is a map I drew with the specific location." Su Yu took out a scroll and handed it to Orochimaru.

After looking it over, Orochimaru handed it to Yakushi Kabuto.

Yakushi Kabuto took the scroll and, without a word, went directly to arrange for people to verify it.

"Su Yu-kun, I have always been interested in the Tailed Beasts. You actually have the qualifications to become a Jinchuriki. If you could master the power of a Tailed Beast..."

Orochimaru looked at Su Yu.

"Lord Orochimaru, I know the Jinchuriki of Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki. To be honest, I am not very interested in the power of the Tailed Beasts. I prefer to rely on the power I can cultivate myself," Su Yu shook his head.

"Relying on your own power, is it?" Orochimaru smiled, offering no further comment.

"Lord Orochimaru, if you intend to capture the Three-Tails, I can assist," Su Yu reminded him.

"Have you already mastered the Adamantine Sealing Chains?" Orochimaru realized.

"Yes." Su Yu formed a hand seal, and golden chains appeared.

"Su Yu-kun, once you fully master the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, you will inevitably surpass Kushina Uzumaki," Orochimaru said earnestly, looking at the four chains.

He had once witnessed Kushina Uzumaki unleash the Adamantine Sealing Chains, which were powerful enough to bind a Tailed Beast.

"Thank you for your recognition. I will work hard," Su Yu bowed.

Yakushi Kabuto walked back into the room.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have sent people to investigate. We should have news by tonight," he reported to Orochimaru.

"If the Three-Tails' hiding place is confirmed, do not alert it. Establish a base in the surrounding area and observe the situation," Orochimaru told Yakushi Kabuto.

"Understood. I will have Guren lead the team," Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses.

"Very well, handle the arrangements as you see fit." Orochimaru was aware of the friction between Yakushi Kabuto and Guren, but he said nothing.

"Su Yu-kun, come with me," Yakushi Kabuto said to Su Yu.

"Lord Orochimaru, if you need anything, you can send someone to the Land of Waves to find me. I will come to assist at the first opportunity," Su Yu looked at Orochimaru.

"I will keep that in mind. With your strength, I may have use for you sooner than you think. Kabuto, give Su Yu-kun the locations and information regarding those bases," Orochimaru said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Yakushi Kabuto understood that this meant Orochimaru had accepted Su Yu.

The two left the room.

In Orochimaru's laboratory.

"All the corpses here have specific uses. You can select your materials according to this list," Yakushi Kabuto handed Su Yu a list, which contained brief notes on the condition of each body.

"Senior Yakushi Kabuto, did you write this yourself?" Su Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course. This intelligence was all collected while I was infiltrating various ninja villages," Yakushi Kabuto said with a smile.

"Senior Yakushi Kabuto, you truly are impressive. By the way, this is a notebook I obtained from Konoha; it should be the medical notes of Lady Tsunade from back in the day. I have already made a copy, and this is the original." Su Yu took out Tsunade's notebook.

Upon hearing this, a look of delight appeared on Yakushi Kabuto's face, and he accepted it without any false modesty.

Given his status in Konoha, he naturally could not have obtained this notebook. As a Medical Ninja, being able to acquire the notes of the top-tier Medical Ninja, Tsunade, would undoubtedly allow him to reap a wealth of knowledge.

"Su Yu-kun, besides the subjects with Kekkei Genkai, what else do you want?" After putting away the notebook, Yakushi Kabuto took the initiative to offer a reward.

"If possible, I would like some Hashirama Cells." Su Yu thought for a moment before speaking.

Yakushi Kabuto was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Then, he smiled.

"No problem. Hashirama Cells are not considered precious here with Lord Orochimaru."

"Then I will have to trouble you, Senior Yakushi Kabuto." Su Yu bowed respectfully.

"Go ahead and select your subjects; I will go get you some Hashirama Cells." As Yakushi Kabuto said this, he turned and left.

Su Yu looked at the list in his hand and began to browse through it.

There were many familiar names in it, even including Uchiha Fugaku.

Su Yu was slightly startled when he saw this name.

One must know that Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were not Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but Mangekyo Sharingan.

The reason he wasn't resurrected during the later Great Ninja War was likely because Yakushi Kabuto simply didn't know about this matter.

As for Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan, it might have been taken by Uchiha Itachi, or perhaps Uchiha Fugaku had even transferred all the ocular power of his Mangekyo Sharingan to Uchiha Itachi before he died.

Following the serial number, Su Yu found the corpse of Uchiha Fugaku; this body was not exactly complete.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a scroll he had kept for a long time, which contained the corpse of that Anbu member from Konoha.

When Su Yu left Otogakure.

He had not only obtained the Hashirama Cells but also acquired the materials for Impure World Reincarnation.

The unexpected harvest was naturally the corpse of Uchiha Fugaku.

As long as he made good use of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he could accomplish many things.

For example, controlling Tailed Beasts or controlling certain ninjas.

Of course, to prevent any accidents from happening, he would not let Uchiha Fugaku regain consciousness; simply making good use of his Mangekyo Sharingan would be enough.

Besides Uchiha Fugaku, there were several other subjects with Kekkei Genkai, including Kimimaro.

Su Yu was actually wondering if it was possible to extract the Kekkei Genkai of those resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation.

If that were possible, he would no longer have to worry about how to upgrade his bloodline.
