How Could Danzo Compare to Kyohiko?

At the Anbu base, Orochimaru wore a look of wistful emotion.

It really is Flying Thunder God!

"While you're not as skilled or proficient as Minato, it's sufficient for now, and given your research speed, you'll definitely master it quickly."

"Difficult, this technique is extremely difficult!"

Kyohiko sighed.

It's not easy to get freebies from Minato Namikaze; if you want to improve later, you'll probably need to study and practice on your own.

That would require a long period of cultivation.

Orochimaru remained silent.

Disaster?

Anyone can say that, but this kid isn't qualified.

Orochimaru looked around the office, his gaze slightly somber.

here...

There is no trace of the past.

"I'd like to wander around first."

"Sure, there are some things I'd like to ask you about."

Kyohiko moved forward.

As they walked, he asked questions about "intelligence" and "the construction of Anbu."

Orochimaru answered a few questions first.

Then he laughed and said, "You're really too inexperienced in this area. Why don't you step aside and let me take your place?"

"OK."

Kyohiko did not hesitate.

Orochimaru chuckled. "Forget it, I'll go up there. Those old men won't allow it."

He walked around, finally gazing at the training grounds for the Anbu, watching the soldiers running and fighting.

All traces of the past have vanished.

"The Old Man's era has finally come to an end!"

"Isn't it good?"

"Okay, very good."

Orochimaru's usually cold face now showed a smile that was rather natural and less frightening.

Kyohiko looked down.

"Senior, do you have any intelligence personnel you could recommend?"

"Intelligence."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Danzo has a good female ninja under his Danzo, who is his intelligence ace. In addition, there is Aburame Tatsuma, who is very good at infiltration and infiltration."

"Aburame Tatsuma..."

Kyohiko fiddled with it with his fingers.

He naturally had a deep impression of this Jonin from the Aburame Clan.

Danzo's most loyal subordinate.

Is it believable?

"If all you need is the knowledge in his head, what does it matter if it's reliable or not? The Yamanaka Clan can extract enough memories, or would you rather I help you?"

Orochimaru chuckled. "I don't have that much time."

"An interesting study that I think you might find interesting."

Kyohiko smiled.

Orochimaru tilted his head and said, "Is it related to the Hyuga Clan?"

"Um."

Kyohiko did not deny it.

Those who deceive others will not know; with Orochimaru's abilities, he must have already figured it out.

However, Orochimaru could never have imagined what he and the Hyuga Clan were researching, and that in the field of acupoint research, there was no better partner than the Hyuga Clan.

Orochimaru can only rely on himself, unless he is not interested in participating in the experiments.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed.

After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "I'm curious, what kind of experiment would you find so appealing?"

"The Mysteries of Acupoints."

Kyohiko revealed.

Orochimaru suddenly turned his head. "How did you do that?"

"Secret."

Kyohiko smiled faintly.

Orochimaru took a deep breath to calm himself down.

The human body Chakra pathways, concealing many mysteries that remain unsolved to this day. However, if the Hyuga Clan were willing to contribute their clan's knowledge and cooperate and help each other...

It is indeed possible to unravel the mystery.

How could Orochimaru not be tempted?

He licked his lips. "Kyohiko, you really know me!"

"If what you said before is true, and you and I are the same kind of people, then I just understand myself well enough. I believe that neither of us would miss out on this kind of research."

Kyohiko smiled.

Orochimaru nodded.

How could I possibly miss it?

His goal was immortality, so studying the physical body was essential.

Previously, it was simply a matter of lacking the necessary conditions and resources.

Now that the opportunity has presented itself, how could it possibly pass up?

He sighed.

"I'll take care of Aburame Tatsuma for you. Although that guy only listens to Danzo, now that Danzo has gone to Kyoto, he has to be loyal to his clan and Konoha again."

Orochimaru said coldly, "If he doesn't agree, I'll make him agree!"

"I have absolute faith in your abilities. So, it's a pleasure working with you."

Kyohiko said.

Orochimaru smiled slightly.

"You're currently in a period of growth and need my assistance in many areas, so you'll definitely want me to participate. But I'm very interested in this research."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards his office.

"Kyohiko, can I study the cells you released after your Ninjutsu last time?"

"Give."

Kyohiko tossed the Sealing Scroll over, "It's formed a strange state, somewhere between an animal and a tree."

Orochimaru took it.

Did you use Senjutsu Chakra last time?

"No."

Kyohiko shook his head.

After being inoculated with Hashirama Cells, his vital state was extremely unstable, and he was unable to enter Sage Mode at all.

This is also a shortcoming.

but.

The advantage is--

The life force that Deep Forest Emergence comes entirely from the Hashirama Cells; the tree itself is unaffected.

Orochimaru took it and laughed, "I'll study it and see if its essence has changed."

"Unlikely."

Kyohiko shook his head.

The flesh and blood inside were all special substances derived from Hashirama Cells, and had no deep connection with him at all.

This is also why he dared to hand it over directly to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru put away the scroll and tossed him another one.

"These are healthy First Hokage Cells. Keep them as a trump card. You do possess Wood Release; if you encounter a formidable enemy, you can use them to counterattack and kill them."

"I don't want such a great collaborator to die."

After saying that, Orochimaru quietly disappeared into the distance.

Kyohiko smiled and said, "I'll go handle Aburame Tatsuma's matter too."

"Okay, just Flying Thunder God, and I'll notify you via a snake."

The territory of the Aburame Clan.

"Ryoma, with your abilities, as long as you're willing to work for the Anbu, becoming a squad leader is the bare minimum. Don't make any more mistakes."

The Shibi Aburame, reprimanded him.

However, the Aburame Tatsuma in front of him was just quietly playing with the insects, showing no intention of responding at all.

This situation has been going on for a long time.

"Alright! You can stay here and wait for your Danzo!"

Shibi Aburame.

He turned to leave, just then, an insect flew back.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shibi Aburame's eyes.

Then, he turned to look at Aburame Tatsuma, pondered for a moment, and stopped.

Aburame Tatsuma remained silent.

After a moment, a chilling laugh rang out.

"How foolish!"

Orochimaru emerged from the soil.

He looked at Aburame Tatsuma and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"It's a good thing Danzo wasn't allowed to continue in power, otherwise, with such idiots in the Anbu and Root, Konoha would be completely rotten to the core."

"Traitor! What did you say?"

Aburame Tatsuma turned around, her gaze behind her sunglasses cold and filled with murderous intent.

Orochimaru said, "A fool like you doesn't deserve to live in this world. I'm here to send you on your way."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shibi Aburame.

"Is everything alright?"

"..."

Shibi Aburame didn't answer, but silently took two steps back.

Such behavior and attitude from Aburame Tatsuma is extremely rare within the family, and he cannot possibly continue to protect and support the other party due to the family's limited resources.

Aburame Tatsuma squinted. "I'm curious about something."

"Explain."

"How are Tsunade and Kyohiko Yoshimine better than Danzo?"

"Madness!"

Orochimaru looked down at him, his eyes filled with deep contempt. "Someone like Danzo doesn't even deserve to be compared to Tsunade and Kyohiko?"

Then, he smiled.

"Very well, I'll show you why Kyohiko is stronger than Danzo!"

He then bit his finger and used Summoning Jutsu to summon a snake.

The snake was very small.

Aburame Tatsuma frowned, puzzled.

At this moment, his insects were terrified and quickly retreated back into his body, shrinking deep inside.

The next second, a terrifying aura emanated from the space.

Shibi Aburame.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is the territory of the Aburame Clan..."

"Don't worry, dealing with Shibi Aburame won't take too much effort."

Orochimaru took a step back.

In an instant, Kyohiko appeared.

The Shibi Aburame taken aback.

Flying Thunder God!

Is this the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Minato Namikaze?

As he was pondering this, Kyohiko spoke up, "Orochimaru- senpai, is he unwilling to help?"

"I haven't asked yet, but I probably won't help. Besides, he wants to know exactly where you're better than Danzo."

Orochimaru laughed.

Kyohiko nodded and said casually, "Clan Chief Shibi, if I accidentally kill him, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"..."

Shibi Aburame helplessly, "It would be best to spare his life."

"OK."

Body Flicker Technique, a single punch.

Aburame Tatsuma didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying, and his insects...

They can't even keep up with the pace.

How is that possible?

Aburame Tatsuma was shocked and horrified.

In their previous encounters, although Kyohiko was very strong and talented, they were evenly matched. He felt that he lost more because of his carelessness.

so.

Aburame Tatsuma never believed that Kyohiko was strong enough to kill the Third Kazekage and influence the battle; he thought it was more due to the help of Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze.

But now.

That speed is impossible!

Counterattack! Counterattack!

Aburame Tatsuma was controlling the insects, but the next second, an even more terrifying punch sent him flying into the air.

insect...

Can't chew it?

Aburame Tatsuma's mind was in chaos. There was something that even insects couldn't penetrate—was this thing a monster?

Boom!

Another punch.

Another punch...

His punches grew weaker with each blow, but he felt humiliated.

The opponent definitely had the ability to kill him, but they just didn't. They even used a Medical Ninjutsu technique to heal him with one punch.

However.

No matter where he flew, the other party could always catch up quickly.

This is not Body Flicker Technique.

Aburame Tatsuma thought of that "S-rank Ninjutsu".

Flying Thunder God!

This guy actually mastered the Flying Thunder God?

His mind went blank.

The next instant, he was knocked to the ground.

"Senior Shibi, he's still breathing. I've taken him back to the Anbu for medical treatment."

Kyohiko smiled.

Shibi Aburame waved her hand, signaling him to leave with his men.

Anyway, such useless people are of little use to the family.

Danzo a menace!

I wonder what methods Danzo used to make his clansmen so loyal.

but.

"This child's skills have improved so quickly!"

When we met before, he wasn't this strong, and he certainly hadn't mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

That's genius!

Danzo?

How can that guy compare to Kyohiko?!

Shibi Aburame, also thinking that Aburame Tatsuma was out of his mind.

"Kyohiko, your Flying Thunder God is getting more and more refined."

"Far from it, that's enough to deal with him."

Kyohiko put the other person down.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode, combined with Wood Release to cover the skin with wood, makes it impossible for insects to get in.

not to mention.

If he wanted to, he could kill Aburame Tatsuma with a single punch.

With a simple treatment using the Mystical Palm Technique, and at the same time, some Kikaichū were repairing Aburame Tatsuma's body. Before long, Aburame Tatsuma woke up.

He looked at the dim, familiar place and fell silent. He turned his head to look at the person in front of him, and a sense of fear suddenly arose in his heart.

This guy...

How could it have become so powerful in just one or two years?

"Woke up?"

Orochimaru chuckled in a low voice, "Now, do you understand?"

"..."

Aburame Tatsuma was speechless.

Even Danzo, whom he admired and believed in, couldn't have had such strength at Kyohiko's age.

No!

At the same age, Kyohiko could probably Danzo thousands of times without even breaking a sweat.

The difference is too great; there's no comparison.

His voice was hoarse. "Strength doesn't equate to wisdom."

"Danzo's wisdom? Hahaha, isn't all he did just backstabbing and using underhanded tactics?"

Kyohiko was amused.

He squatted down and looked at the other person. "You're so naive, even more childlike than me."

"Where there is fire, there is darkness. Danzo was right."

Aburame Tatsuma answered.

Orochimaru chuckled, saying nothing, but his disdain was written all over his face.

Kyohiko said, "Darkness refers to the willingness to sacrifice others but not oneself, because he wants to become Hokage, so he can't just sacrifice himself casually?"

You don't understand him.

Aburame Tatsuma starts with a slant.

Well, this guy has already closed the logical loop.

Anyone who questions Danzo is deemed not to understand him.

Kyohiko smiled without saying a word, too lazy to waste any more words with him.

"In short, are you willing to work for me? If not, then die. I'll send Danzo to join you in a while."

"Danzo has no intention of being an enemy of Konoha, so why must things go to this extent?"

"Answer: If you're unwilling to cooperate, the Yamanaka Clan can still make you cooperate."

Kyohiko's expression was indifferent.

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile.

Aburame Tatsuma was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I won't help you, and besides, you can't possibly trust me."

After saying that, he threw out a scroll.

"The roots are part of the Konoha; our aspirations are great!"

After saying this, Aburame Tatsuma closed his eyes.

Orochimaru picked it up and skillfully released it from its seal.

Then, a stack of books appeared.

He casually flipped through them, a slight smile playing on his lips, "These are all methods for training intelligence and spies."

"Okay, I accept your ideals and aspirations."

Kyohiko patted him on the shoulder.

Books are good things.

With this thing, Gekko Shusaku can learn on his own, and with Orochimaru's guidance and instruction, it won't be difficult to build the framework.

certainly.

Some details definitely need to be modified.

so...

Kyohiko himself has to see it too.

"Orochimaru- senpai, should we send him back to the Aburame Clan, or what should we do?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Let him stay in the Anbu; he seems to adapt perfectly to this place."

"Alright."

Kyohiko picked up a book and began to read it carefully.

Aburame Tatsuma looked up, but ultimately did not refuse.
