The night was like a huge curtain, slowly covering the inconspicuous orphanage outside Konoha.
The candlelight flickered in the dim room, reflecting the thin but still gentle face of Yakushi Nonō.
She looked at the powerful young man in front of her and felt a little dazed for a moment.
"You said... you want to become a disciple?"
Yakushi Nonō's voice trembled slightly, and a complex light flashed through his eyes hidden behind his glasses - surprise, joy, and a hint of unspeakable worry.
Surprisingly, Kabuto could be valued by the genius in front of him who is comparable to the legendary 'God of Shinobi'.
Fortunately, Uchiha Jun does not seem to intend to train Kabuto into a tool that only knows how to kill, but a serious disciple.
But worries also follow him--does that child really deserve such an opportunity?
"Why? Don't want to?"
Uchiha Jun crossed his arms and spoke calmly, as if he was just asking casually.
Anyway, he came here today for these two purposes, and he must achieve them no matter what!
"No, no!"
Yakushi Nonō shook his head quickly, held the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and solemnly bent down to Uchiha Jun.
"I am willing to join your service and become your deputy."
"Get up."
Uchiha Jun raised his hand to signal, his tone was still calm, but there was a hint of seriousness deep in his eyes.
Then Uchiha Jun flipped his wrist, and two scrolls appeared out of thin air in his palm, and he threw them to Yakushi Nonō.
"The first scroll is your salary for this month - four million taels. From now on, you will be paid four million taels every month. Except, if you want to take on some Konoha tasks to make some extra money, I won't stop you, as long as you complete your job for me."
"In addition, if your ability improves in the future, the corresponding salary will also increase accordingly."
"The second scroll is my second investment in this orphanage. The capital is fifty million taels. It's up to you whether it's for expansion or how to use it."
Uchiha Jun's voice was as calm as water, as if he was not talking about tens of millions of taels of money, but a bunch of dispensable numbers.
"There is only one condition."
Uchiha Jun's eyes swept across the door of the room in the distance, the children poking their heads.
"All orphans with ninja talents in the orphanage need to undergo systematic training so that they can be used by me."
"Don't worry, they are not cannon fodder on some suicide mission. You may not even be able to use them in the future. Just think of me as creating a 'talent reserve pool'."
Yakushi Nonō held the two scrolls, his hands trembling.
A monthly salary of four million taels!
An investment of fifty million taels!
For an orphanage that has been struggling on the poverty line, this is pie in the sky!
"Don't worry, sir! I will definitely, definitely live up to your expectations!"
Yakushi Nonō bowed deeply, his voice full of gratitude and determination.
It had been a long time since she had been so excited. The orphanage had been struggling to run, and now she finally saw the light of day.
At this moment, a cold reminder sounded in Uchiha Jun's mind--
[Ding! Hidden mission completed: Recruiting important original characters·Yakushi Nonō, Kabuto Yakushi]
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Congratulations on getting: High-Recruitment Scroll×5, Gold Coin×2000, random Secret Scroll Fragment×15]
[Special growth-type achievements unlocked: "Master-disciple inheritance" - each time a direct disciple is successfully cultivated, you will receive additional rewards]
Uchiha Jun The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He never expected that recruiting members this time would bring such an unexpected surprise. Golden Finger really did not disappoint him!
This time when I go back, I must smoke a lot!
"Now that the deal has been concluded, let's get ready."
Uchiha Jun retracted his thoughts, looked at Yakushi Nonō, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over. "Here is the work schedule and location. In three days, report with Kabuto and I will pick you up."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Orochimaru without waiting for Yakushi Nonō to respond.
"Sir, walk slowly!"
Yakushi Nonō held the envelope tightly and looked at Uchiha Jun's back, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
She knew that from today on, the fate of the orphanage, including hers and Kabuto's, would completely change.
The entrance to the orphanage.
"Tsk, a monthly salary of four million taels? You are really generous, but with Yakushi Nonō's ability, the price is worth it."
There was a joke in the hoarse voice, who else could it be if it wasn't Orochimaru?
Uchiha Jun glanced at him and said calmly, "Things that can be solved with money are nothing."
"Hehehe..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, and a hint of interest flashed in his golden vertical pupils. "Let's go, I'll take you to the experimental base. There have been some interesting developments recently."
The two walked side by side, walking along the night, towards the depths of Forest of Death.
The night wind blew by, blowing the corners of their clothes.
After walking for a long time, Orochimaru suddenly said, "Speaking of which, were you a little too lax in your previous instructions to Itachi Uchiha?"
"I think that little guy's qualifications may not be able to break Kakashi's Jonin record."
Uchiha Jun smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and said contemptuously, "Jiwa-style education is just a mediocre teacher who misleads the children. There is no external pressure, and there is no blood feud, so naturally there is no need to be so eager for success?"
"No matter how talented you are, can you still be more talented than me?"
"I have so many titles on my head, and I am not short of the title of famous teacher. In addition, Itachi Uchiha's body is really not suitable for rushing for quick results. Jonin's record? Haha, what can it mean?"
"Running fast doesn't necessarily mean you win, but not falling down means success."
"Hehehe, this is why I like chatting with you. I can always hear something interesting from you."
Hearing these words, Orochimaru chuckled, especially agreeing with Uchiha Jun's words, 'running fast does not necessarily mean winning, success is achieved by not falling down'.
"By the way, is the genetic sample of Itachi Uchiha the 'crow' in the gene bank? Are you anxious for success, are you worried that he will get Bloodline Disease?"
Uchiha Jun nodded.
"Well, you have also begun to study the 'crow', and naturally you also know how early activating this 'potential' will push it into the abyss."
"If the radical development continues, the probability of Itachi Uchiha getting Bloodline Disease will be very high, leaving only a pair of Mangekyo. With our current research progress, we will soon be able to achieve mass production."
"There is no need to waste an apprentice for a dispensable Kage Level combat power."
Orochimaru nodded to express his understanding when he heard this. He knew Itachi Uchiha's genes better than Itachi Uchiha himself.
Later, Orochimaru talked about Shimura Danzō who had defected.
"Speaking of which, although Shimura Danzō defected, he still took care of his family. The contact between him and me has never been broken."
Hearing this, Uchiha Jun immediately became interested. This Shinobi World pot king was the one who defected by himself. Even Shimura Danzō still doesn't know who framed him.
He couldn't even find a target for revenge, so he ended up being kicked by Shinobi World and became a stray wild dog.
"Oh? How is your old boss's situation? He's not going to be elbowed to death by that kid Fourth Raikage, is he?"
After all, Uchiha Jun went against Shimura Danzō's face and hunted Fourth Raikage's biological father, Third Raikage, in public. If Five Great Nations is the one with the highest hatred, no one dares to say Fourth Raikage is second.
It is precisely because of this that the one who pursues Shimura Danzō most vigorously is Fourth Raikage.
"Haha, Shimura Danzō is currently being jointly pursued by the elite teams of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure. It is said that even one of his arms was taken by Raikage as his partner, and the new Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B had his elbow broken."
"It's a coincidence that when I returned to the village, I picked up a 'Pokemon' at the border of Land of Fire. This 'Pokemon' has almost no rejection in the body and is compatible with both Hashirama Cells and Sharingan."
"According to the 'yin and yang' hedging plan you proposed before, Chunjun, we were able to survive."
After staying with Uchiha Jun for a long time, Orochimaru also learned several vocabulary words from Uchiha Jun.
Among them, Pokemon, which is a metaphor for a scaly person, Orochimaru also learned from it. After all, he also learned from Uchiha Jun that 'Pokemon' is similar to Summoning Animal's ecological niche and was captured by others.
Compared with his behavior of casually capturing experimental subjects, the description is quite appropriate.
It's some kind of 'black talk' between him and Uchiha Jun.
"Oh? And there's this 'Pokemon'? Use his genetic cells to clone clones in batches and conduct the 'Kekkei Genkai' experiment. I remember you've always been interested in this thing, haven't you?"
"In addition, use this thing to rub an arm to strengthen Shimura Danzō. Later, I will write 'Izanagi' into Sharingan. You can sell it to Shimura Danzō at a high price and make a fortune from Shimura Danzō, and use him as an experimental subject."
"Test the compatibility of normal civilian ninjas with this 'Pokemon cell'. If it is suitable, it may not be impossible to create a 'Compound' that can give ninjas Kekkei Genkai!"
After hearing Orochimaru's description, Uchiha Jun also immediately thought of the plot between Naruto: Shippuden and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations in the original work.
It is about a foreign child who believes in Itachi Uchiha and dreams of becoming Uchiha Clan.
Later, I got what I wanted. After coming into contact with Orochimaru, I was equipped with Sharingan all over my body. I even awakened Mangekyō Sharingan as someone other than Uchiha Clan.
But I don't know if it's because of my non-Uchiha Clan identity or because I'm not emotionally strong enough.
The ability of this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan is very impressive. It can only carve 'marks' on specific ninja tools and control them.
It really made Uchiha Jun laugh.
"Haha of course! Let's go!"
After hearing Uchiha Jun's plan, Orochimaru's eyes also lit up. Apart from immortality, ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai are his biggest hobbies.
Uchiha Jun previously proposed that through the fusion of the strong genetic templates of Five Basic Nature Transformations, try to create a new Kekkei Genkai through friction and collision, and observe the whole process to try to figure out the corresponding system.
Then the plan was to make a finished product similar to 'Compound One', but Orochimaru was extremely greedy and eager!
Deep in the experimental base, the lights are brightly lit.
In the room that had been away for several months, various instruments flashed with faint fluorescence, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and disinfectant.
Uchiha Jun and Orochimaru are each busy.
Giant psychic snakes were summoned one after another, entrenched in every corner of the room. The snakes were hesitant, and their cold vertical pupils monitored everything around them.
Each piece of equipment was arranged step by step, connected to densely packed tubes.
Orochimaru looked at those huge psychic snakes and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, that guy Manda doesn't know what's going on recently. He doesn't even respond to my psychic calls."
He looked sideways at Uchiha Jun with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Did you do anything to it when you channeled it last time?"
Uchiha Jun was lowering his head to adjust the instrument, and did not raise his head when he heard the words: "When I was fighting against Third Mizukage, in order to deal with the 'big fat maggot' channeled by Third Mizukage, I channeled Manda to line up. It turned out that the guy was not very honest, so I used Snake Lightning Cannon from Eight Branches Technique to train him."
When Orochimaru heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Train Manda? That guy is not easy to mess with."
"It's not easy to mess with, but it has to be trained! You even dare to blackmail me, you are definitely not an ordinary Summoning Animal!"
Uchiha Jun said nonchalantly, moving his hands non-stop. "Summoning Animal, the disobedient one, what's the use of keeping it? When I finish working for a while, I'll go to Ryūchi Cave to talk to Manda."
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "Hehehe... interesting."
Orochimaru licked his lips, with a hint of envy in his tone. "I have been dealing with Manda for so many years, but I have never been able to really tame it. At most, it is a cooperative relationship."
"I didn't expect that you would make that guy feel embarrassed the first time we met."
Uchiha Jun raised his head and looked at Orochimaru, with a smile on his lips, "I think you are greedy for Eight Branches Technique."
Orochimaru was slightly startled.
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a complicated light. After a long time, he slowly said, "Who doesn't covet the forbidden arts?"
Uchiha Jun nodded, took out a scroll from his arms, and threw it to Orochimaru: "Here, here are my various analyzes of Eight Branches Technique, organized into a scroll, you can take it and study it."
Orochimaru took the scroll, unfolded it, and his pupils suddenly shrank!
The scroll was densely recorded with the operating principles of Eight Branches Technique, the flow of chakra, and the possibilities for various improvements. Every detail was analyzed extremely thoroughly, and there were even many ideas that he had never thought of!
There is no doubt that he can master Eight Branches Technique in a short time with this scroll!
"This..."
Orochimaru's voice is a little hoarse.
He considered himself Shinobi World's top ninjutsu research expert, but at this moment, looking at the scroll thrown by Uchiha Jun, he actually had the illusion that "he was not worthy of being called a researcher."
Uchiha Jun waved his hand and said lightly, "Don't be moved, this is a project bonus for you."
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Uchiha Jun ah Uchiha Jun..."
He muttered to himself, "What kind of monster are you?"
Uchiha Jun did not answer, but continued to tinker with the instrument with his head down.
Orochimaru put away the scroll, walked to the next room, took out a tube of light blue reagent from the freezing chamber, and carefully placed it on the experimental table.
"I brought the 'Pokemon' you asked for."
Uchiha Jun raised his head and looked at the tube of reagents, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Gene sample?"
"What's your personality like?"
Uchiha Jun approached, looked at the tube of reagents, and asked casually.
"Character?"
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What you asked is quite tricky."
"The owner of the sample is a fanatical admirer. He has almost fanatical belief in the Uchiha Clan and Sharingan. Unfortunately... his brain is not very good."
"How to say?"
"It sounds like it has something to do with you."
"Follow me?... WC, you are not worshiping me, are you?!"
Uchiha Jun was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately thought of a possibility.
Orochimaru smiled when he heard this, "Hehehe, that's right."
"... Tsk, okay, okay, now that the genetic samples are in place, let's quickly clone the experimental body and conduct experiments."
Although he was a little surprised that his "butterfly wings" made Uchiha Shin's idol change from Itachi Uchiha to himself, Uchiha Jun didn't take it to heart.
There are so many people who admire him, but Uchiha Shin is just average.
The two of them each started their own arrangements.
In the middle of the night, inside the base, instruments roared and the light of chakra flickered.
Uchiha Jun stood in front of the experimental table, looking at the neat rows of test tubes in front of him, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Kekkei Genkai experiment... is finally about to begin."
Orochimaru walked to him and took out several special genetic samples. "I tried the idea you mentioned before, and it is indeed feasible."
"By merging the genes of top experts with different attributes, there is a chance that a new Kekkei Genkai will be created."
"Is there any example?" Uchiha Jun asked.
"It is considered a semi-finished product. It is just a phenomenon and cannot be said to be the new Kekkei Genkai."
Orochimaru took out a report and handed it to Uchiha Jun: "Using the genetic samples of Third Raikage and Kitsuchi to fuse, a phenomenon was successfully created - both The penetrating power of Lightning Style and the defensive power of Earth Release are nothing more than that. Lightning Style is still Lightning Style, and Earth Release is still Earth Release."
"The two have no linkage effect. At most, they have inherited the advantages of both parties."
Uchiha Jun took the report, browsed it quickly, and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad."
"But..."
Orochimaru changed the subject. "Integration is very difficult, and the success rate is only about three percent."
"And each fusion requires a large amount of chakra and Life Force. Ordinary ninjas simply cannot sustain it."
"Where is the physique of 'Pokemon'?"
"He can do it, but the cost will increase to 50 million taels a piece."
"Just make him and that's it!"
Orochimaru A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Are you really willing to give up?"
"I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf."
Uchiha Jun said, taking out a test tube from his pocket and shaking it slightly under the light. "What's more, this time it's a big deal."
Orochimaru looked closer and his pupils suddenly shrank!
"This is... the genetic sample of Madara Uchiha?!"
"That's right."
Uchiha Jun nodded. "If you want to do it, let's do it big."
"I want to use the genetic sample of Madara Uchiha to fuse it with the genetic sample of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju to create friction between the ultimate Fire Release and the ultimate Water Release."
He looked at Orochimaru, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes. "Do you think... will a new Kekkei Genkai be born?"
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, and then burst into hearty laughter. "Interesting! So interesting! If Second Hokage knew about it in Impure World Reincarnation, he would definitely kill you with Water Release! Hahahaha!!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and each began to prepare for the experiment.
At this moment, in Uchiha Jun's mind, a cold reminder sounded again--
[Ding! New mission has been unlocked: "I won't be polite, come here! Change it to a bigger one!"]
[Task requirements: Create new Kekkei Genkai by hand, including but not limited to "system type", "escape type", "pupil type"]
[Reward description: Each time you create a new Kekkei Genkai, you will get at least 5,000 Gold Coin and Random Ninja Shards. The higher the Kekkei Genkai upper limit, the better the cost-effectiveness, and the more additional rewards!]
[Warm reminder: This task is a series of tasks. The higher the completion level, the more generous the final reward will be!]
Uchiha Jun's eyes flashed with excitement.
Then he turned around and started experimenting.
Time passes minute by minute.
In the laboratory, Uchiha Jun and Orochimaru are working together, and each instrument is running crazily.
The failure rate of fusion experiments is extremely high, with a success rate of 3%, which means that most of the experimental subjects exploded and died during the fusion process.
The base was filled with waves of mind-numbing muffled sounds, and then calmed down again.
Orochimaru There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but he did not stop at all, adjusting the fusion parameters and changing the fusion ratio over and over again.
I don't know how much time passed, but Uchiha Jun looked at the experimental subject that failed again and frowned.
"Failed again."
He took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "It seems that we have to use some unconventional means."
"What are you going to use?" Orochimaru asked.
Uchiha Jun did not answer, but slowly closed his eyes.
[Assembly template:[Shimura Danzō]]
The next second, a strange light flashed in Uchiha Jun's eyes--
Izanagi·Start!
Reality is distorted!
At that moment, the failed experiment result was changed into a success!
"Successful."
He whispered.
Orochimaru was startled for a moment, and then a glint of disbelief flashed in his eyes. "You... used Izanagi?!"
"Izanagi can still be used like this?!"
"Hmm."
Uchiha Jun spoke calmly, "Izanagi is the ultimate Genjutsu that can distort reality!"
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, and then let out a complicated chuckle, "You are really... willing to spend a lot of money."
"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, but Mitsudomoe has enough control anyway!"
Uchiha Jun repeated what he just said, then turned to Orochimaru: "Continue."
Orochimaru looked at him deeply, then nodded.
The two went into the experiment again.
Time passes slowly, the night gradually recedes, and dawn comes quietly.
When the sky turned white, a piercing alarm suddenly erupted in the laboratory!
Uchiha Jun started Izanagi continuously, but also a little tired, and then asked, "What was the result?"
Orochimaru stared at the video equipment in front of him and the phenomena in the equipment, his voice trembled slightly:
"Failure..."
Uchiha Jun frowned slightly.
"... success!"
