Transaction

Orochi-Style Ninjutsu developed the Orochimaru -ryu Ninjutsu based on the snakes of Ryūchi Cave. Although it is usually passed down to disciples, he could still pass it on to Shiro, even if he didn't become his disciple.

Because Shiro, like him, is a contractor of Ryūchi Cave, and this Ninjutsu can better utilize Shiro's Projection Explosive Tag Magecraft.

His original intention was to use this opportunity to befriend Shiro, since Shiro's talent and background were both worthy of Orochimaru to win him over, as it would be helpful in his bid for the Hokage Position.

Of course, that was the original plan; now, there's no need to give him the Orochi-Style Ninjutsu.

However, given that Shiro has not shown any behavior detrimental to the village, and on the contrary, the Hawk Plan centered around him has been of great help to Konoha, he still intends to hand over Rashomon to Shiro.

If he wants to become Hokage in the future, he will definitely need their support. After all, he has shown such strength at such a young age. With Sakumo's support, his position in the Konoha High Command is secure.

After preparing, Orochimaru took out the scroll and waited for Shiro's news while reading it.

Unlike Orochimaru, Shiro's situation is much more complicated, even though he has already had the system help him compile Magecraft knowledge that can be used for exchange.

However, Shiro still needed to extract the treasure, and even with the help of his Shadow Clone Technique, it took Shiro a whole afternoon to finish.

Then, Shiro looked at the pile of scrolls in front of him and silently sympathized with Gray Snake. How many times would he have to swallow it? Unfortunately, Gray Snake was the only one who had cooperated with both Shiro and Orochimaru.

Therefore, I'm not worried about it causing trouble, but I do feel a little guilty towards the Gray Snake.

Although Shiro felt a little sorry for Gray Snake, he didn't slow down his movements.

"Summoning Technique."

"Gray Snake, here, this is the scroll we agreed on before." Shiro pointed to the "scroll" and said to Gray Snake.

Gray Snake glanced at the scroll, said nothing, and just stared blankly at Shiro.

Shiro felt a little embarrassed by the stares and awkwardly said, "Okay, I admit, that's a bit much."

The Gray Snake continued to stare blankly at Shiro without making a move.

"Okay, okay, there are plenty. How about I treat you to bird eggs afterwards?"

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

"What? Bird eggs from Ninja Beast! They're very expensive!"

"."

"Alright, alright, I promise you. Here's the bird egg from the Ninja Beast. Let's get started, Snake Master." There was no other way; Shiro was truly embarrassed by the Gray Snake's gaze and had no choice but to agree to its unreasonable request.

Only after Shiro made his promise did Gray Snake begin to move the scroll.

After going back and forth more than a dozen times, the Gray Snake, looking like a useless snake, brought Shiro two scrolls and a letter, and then dispelled the spirit communication and returned home.

"Hmm? Two scrolls? And what's the other one?"

Shiro didn't rush to examine the scroll; instead, he first opened the letter.

The letter was simple, basically saying that the Rashomon Summoning Contract was given to Shiro, hoping to continue their cooperation in the future, and subtly indicating that it was related to the Hokage series.

The letter was filled with diplomatic language, and Shiro didn't sense Orochimaru's goodwill in it. After all, his impression of Orochimaru was too deep, and he couldn't change it in a short time.

However, Shiro still saw hope in this—hope to stop Orochimaru's defection!

The fact that he still wants to compete for the Hokage position shows that Shiro's influence is not yet significant, and he has not completely turned evil yet. As long as Danzo's plan is stopped and Orochimaru's human experiments are no longer conducted in the village, he can succeed.

If he doesn't experiment on the villagers, then there's a good chance he won't defect.

In the original story, the Third Hokage became completely disillusioned with Orochimaru after discovering that he was experimenting on the villagers.

Relatively speaking, what angered the Third Hokage wasn't Orochimaru's human experimentation, since the Second Hokage had done the same. What angered him was Orochimaru's experimentation on the villagers.

Orochimaru was aware of the Third Hokage's bottom line, so he ultimately didn't explain anything. However, the Third Hokage, out of consideration for their master-disciple relationship, let him go, which led to Jiraiya's long journey to find his husband.

Therefore, when he saw that Orochimaru still held hope for the Hokage position in his letter, Shiro felt a great deal of pressure lessen.

After reading Orochimaru's letter, Shiro finally got around to dealing with the two scrolls.

The first thing he opened was the Rashomon Contract Scroll. Shiro glanced at it and realized that it was a one-time Contract Scroll, meaning that it could only be signed once.

Unlike Shiro's Ryūchi Cave Contract Scroll, which can be passed down, this one can only be learned by Shiro himself.

Shiro was quite interested in this, so he carefully examined the scroll to see if he could imitate it.

After taking a look, Shiro realized that he couldn't understand it at all.

Shiro recognized the runes of the Contract Seal above; he had been forced to learn them by Kushina. However, Shiro couldn't understand the other combinations. He tried Projection them, but still couldn't figure them out.

So Shiro stopped insisting and simply signed his name.

They abandoned that tempting plan.

However, there's one more thing to practice now. After all, Rashomon's defense is quite effective against Shiro now, and with practice, Shiro's fighting style will become more agile.

Fortunately, this is Summoning Jutsu, so Shiro only needs to practice the timing of its release. However, this did remind Shiro of something, and he had another idea.

Wouldn't the effect be explosive if we combined a Magecraft Workshop with this kind of Summoning Jutsu?

Thinking of this, Shiro quickly took out the scroll and included it in his training plan. Hmm, the location would be roughly after Shiro developed the Destructo Disc.

There's no way around it, I have too many wild ideas, so I can only try to choose the most practical ones, prioritizing the handsome ones.

After finishing all that, Shiro finally had time to check on the Impure World Reincarnation.

Shiro opened it, glanced at it, immediately put it away, and then placed it at the very bottom of his cultivation plan. This was just too damn difficult.

Not to mention that Shiro's goal was to combine Spirit Evocation to optimize the Heroic Spirit Summoning, which was incredibly difficult.

However, Shiro had no regrets, because he couldn't find Orochimaru Shiro. Choosing the Impure World Reincarnation would at least allow him to gather some information.

It wasn't entirely useless, since Shiro wasn't planning to put much effort into Ninjutsu, and there was no need to specialize in such high-level Ninjutsu; it would be a waste of his time and energy.

Shiro's research and development of the Destructo Disc can also incidentally improve his control over Chakra, and clarify the differences between Shiro's modified Chakra and the original Chakra, which is still useful for Shiro's training.

Afterwards, Shiro made some adjustments to the training plan. Baji Quan was already applicable to actual combat, so the training method could not be used when there was no energy stored.

Secondly, we should pay more attention to Magecraft training. For example, the development of the Destructo Disc can be temporarily suspended. We should focus on resolving the attribute issue first, because Shiro can already clearly feel the limitations of the C++ attribute.
