Orochimaru did not answer the question, but instead corrected it.
"I don't need to recover. I am who I am now, the real me!"
Upon hearing these absurd words, Yun Chi remained silent. From the information Orochimaru had just given him, Yun Chi understood what Orochimaru had been up to lately.
The research confirms this.
The main focus is on the study of the nature of Chakra, which is what Ren values most.
There are also some secondary projects, such as high-yield rice.
Yun Chi didn't think he would be interested in such a thing.
Orochimaru, no longer conducts human experiments; he's either working on high-level, theoretical projects like the nature of Chakra.
Or it could be a very down-to-earth project like high-yield rice.
The key point is that Orochimaru was actually having a lot of fun researching it!
This was an unavoidable outcome. Orochimaru was obedient, but he became a saint, Jiraiya.
Left with no other choice, Ren could only develop civilian projects for Orochimaru's research, aside from Chakra projects.
High-yield rice cultivation didn't begin after Orochimaru's arrival; Konoha had already started it long ago.
It's just that it hasn't been taken seriously.
Actually, there's a simple method: hybridization. But after several years, we haven't made any significant progress.
Ren sometimes feels that he has let down the vast number of time-travelers.
Things like glass, refined salt, soap, and hybrid rice—things that Ren read about in his previous life that any time traveler could easily create.
Ren declared that he didn't know any of them!
Not to mention what Ren has seen, any time traveler could use Lightning Release techniques in all sorts of ways, showcasing various Magnet Release techniques.
After actually time-traveling, Ren also fantasized about A Certain Scientific Railgun, but in reality, it turned out that Ren was just daydreaming.
As Shinobi World that already has computers, it's impossible for people in the electromagnetic Shinobi World not to know about it.
The fact that Magnet Release remains so rare under these circumstances can only mean one thing: Lightning Release is not Electric Release, even though it looks very similar.
Ultimately, adhering to the principle of not wasting Shisui Kotoamatsukami, Orochimaru finally found his place.
After answering Yun Chi's question, Orochimaru continued.
"There's one thing I need to remind you: whatever you want to do with that important person, don't have any thoughts that would be detrimental to Konoha!"
Orochimaru's warning to his other self seems somewhat ironic.
"Finally, I won't reveal your existence on my own initiative, but you shouldn't give yourself away either, otherwise, when Ren- kun notices something amiss and asks me, I'll tell him everything without reservation."
The forest that once stood there has vanished.
Two of the people who once lived in the forest now stand here, but neither of them is the Orochimaru of the past.
Just as the meeting was drawing to a close, Ren and Shisui suddenly appeared at the scene.
"Orochimaru- senpai, why aren't you properly entertaining our guests? Also, I'm very interested in the important figure from our Uchiha Clan that you mentioned!"
Neither Orochimaru nor Yun Chi knew that...
Above the Shinobi World, in a synchronous orbit, optimized satellites keep a close watch on every move in Konoha the ninjas from various villages arrive.
Yun Chi chose a very secluded spot, and normally no one would come here. Unfortunately, the forest has been leveled!
Therefore, Konoha kept abreast of their every move after they met.
"Would you be interested in a visit to the Hokage Building, sir?"
Three against one, Yun Chi chose to give up!
Inside the Hokage Building.
After learning the whole story, Ren was amazed.
As expected of Orochimaru, he really knows how to play the game!
Orochimaru, in particular, had incredible luck and found Madara Uchiha's underground base in the Land of Grass.
Ren didn't believe that Obito and Black Zetsu wouldn't have cleaned up thoroughly before leaving.
Under such circumstances, the fact that Orochimaru was still able to find Madara's genetic material is truly remarkable.
Ren initially felt sorry about Orochimaru being nerfed.
As a result, a brand new, pink-haired Orochimaru delivered himself to my door again.
What is a surprise?
That's what you call a surprise!
Ren asked with a smile and a very gentle tone.
"Did Orochimaru- senpai come to Konoha this time to continue our cooperation?"
If one ignores the gradually brightening seals around them, Ren's expression and words at this moment are indeed quite friendly.
To judge whether a person is acting with good intentions, look at their actions, not what they say.
Yun Chi was created specifically to sever its connection with Ren, but now Ren has it under his control once again.
Orochimaru (Yun Chi) sensed that Ren's presence was deliberately targeting him.
All I want is to live freely and do something interesting along the way, why is that so difficult?
Yun Chi cried out in his heart, but on the surface he said with a happy expression.
"Of course, it was a very pleasant experience working with Ren- kun!"
When there's no way to resist, what other option is to accept it willingly?
Ren immediately replied after hearing this.
"In that case, our cooperation will continue as before, and Haku and the others can be returned to Otogakure. However, there is a small request that I need your permission, senior."
"Ren- kun, please speak."
Ren pointed at Orochimaru and said to Yun Chi with a big smile.
"Senior, could you teach your Konoha clone the Summoning Technique of our former Uchiha Clan leader?"
