Orochimaru's pursuit of eternal life is more due to his disappointment in this world.
Throughout the life of Orochimaru in the original work, except for becoming Hokage, most of the things he pursued were successful.
Working hard to pursue the truth will always pay off.
Vision determines results. There is no doubt about Orochimaru's scientific research ability, but this chaotic Shinobi World has restricted his development.
Star Severer returned Hiruzen Sarutobi in his hand. Orochimaru didn't care about this sword.
"Teacher, I want to talk to you about cultivation."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, found a room, and started chatting with Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, what do you think is true immortality?"
Orochimaru shook his head, he had no answer.
"True eternal life must be detachment, not compromise. At the same time, if you want to move towards eternal life, you must have strong strength, and there must be no shortcomings in body or spirit."
"Although Otsutsuki Clan can prolong life and increase strength by swallowing Divine Tree Fruit, the side effects of this method are too great, which means that reincarnation in this world is incomplete and the avenue is incomplete."
"Orochimaru, you need to think about a question. Life is short, just a few decades. For ordinary people, a few hundred years is long enough, but what about thousands of years?"
Orochimaru fell into deep thought. Whether it was Seimei who transformed himself into a ninja, or the human experiments he has been conducting, which can indeed extend lifespan, but as time goes by, the problems will only increase.
A hundred years is easy, a thousand years is basically impossible, and ten thousand years is even more wishful thinking.
"However, practicing cultivation is against nature. If you want to live forever, there are many difficulties and obstacles. Even if you reach the limit of this world, you cannot say that you can achieve true immortality."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words not only did not make Orochimaru feel secret, but actually made Orochimaru excited.
The more he knows, the more insignificant he feels. Orochimaru wants to master all the secret techniques and know the secret of life. But now that he knows the origin of chakra, Orochimaru actually already has the answer in his heart.
However, as Hokage now, there are still so many enemies, so it is definitely inappropriate to give up chakra.
Then cultivating successors becomes a top priority!
Orochimaru also wants to cultivate immortality!
Looking at Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little relieved. His three apprentices were pretty good. Although Orochimaru planned Konoha Crush Plan, it was because he, the teacher, went too far.
After all, Hokage is a product of the Japan culture, and it is almost engraved in their bones. For example, Obito and Nagato did not hesitate at all to their mentors, but in the end they were forcibly cleared by Talk-no-Jutsu, just like a joke.
Itachi Uchiha chose to take action against his own family for the sake of the village.
It can only be said that these are the products of a deformed culture. Shinobi World Because of the existence of war and ninjas, the overall development is too deformed. It is strange for children to be mentally healthy when they go to the battlefield at any age.
"Teacher, should we unite Five Great Nations and accumulate strength to fight against the Otsutsuki Clan?"
Orochimaru thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
He will not be bound by various thoughts, nor is he as naive as First mu, who thinks that there will be so-called peace between people.
Madara Uchiha's idea is too extreme and lacks political means. With the current power of Konoha, it can completely sweep Shinobi World if it develops steadily for a few years.
After all, Konoha has General Uchiha, who has the courage to be unstoppable! He can kill Shinobi World heroes!
And those big names, why are they so superior?
As a scientist, Orochimaru has many ideas.
"There is no need to rush this matter. We can take our time. Sometimes the war may not be won. Cultural victory is the real victory. The key is to make other ninjas in the ninja village yearn for Konoha."
Orochimaru was thoughtful and seemed to understand something.
Just like Uchiha, it can be a time bomb in the village, or it can be the strongest knife in the village.
"Then let's start with the small countries around Konoha."
Orochimaru's eyes became deep. The weakest among Five Great Ninja Villages is undoubtedly Sunagakure of Land of Wind. Although Land of Wind's territory is the largest, most of it is desert.
At the same time, Land of Wind has a large population. The lack of resources and the large population result in a very weak overall strength.
However, because Land of Wind borders Land of Fire, and the two countries often have trade exchanges and alliances, it is not suitable to start at the moment.
Land of Water, may be a good choice. It has the smallest territory and is far away from the land. Using illusions and barriers may be able to prevent the transmission of messages.
At the same time, due to Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura's policy, a large number of Bloodline Ninja were exterminated, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist became rebels, and the current Kirigakure's strength is extremely empty.
Perhaps, Konoha can find an opportunity...
Obito, who controlled Karatachi Yagura far away from Land of Water, didn't know that Kirigakure controlled by him had been targeted by Orochimaru.
During this period, Obito's life was not easy either.
His identity was exposed and he was deprived of his surname Uchiha. Every time he saw Nagato, he was looked at with contempt by Nagato and Konan.
There is no doubt that his plan will definitely encounter obstacles, and Nagato will also be suspicious and wary of him, and will almost hate Hiruzen Sarutobi in his heart.
He didn't know that Uchiha, whom he had been thinking about so much, might be the one to kill Land of Water in the near future to teach him a lesson.
After chatting with Hiruzen Sarutobi for a while, Orochimaru completely let down his guard and respected Hiruzen Sarutobi even more.
In fact, in Orochimaru's heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi's status is still very high. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi trained them into qualified ninjas. Although Legendary Sannin each has some minor problems, this does not affect their strength.
The early Hiruzen Sarutobi was still worthy of respect when it was not corrupted by power.
After Orochimaru left, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath. He was going to prepare for seclusion to hit the Foundation Establishment period.
Waiting for Ninth-Level Qi Refining, Hiruzen Sarutobi is preparing to visit Shikkotsu Forest.
Among Three Great Sage Lands, the one with the best temper is undoubtedly Slug Sage, but the one with the strongest strength is definitely Slug Sage.
After all, she is just a Holy Land.
From Slug Sage, you may be able to know a lot about the past.
Of course, the one who knows the most secrets is definitely Mount Myoboku, but before Hiruzen Sarutobi enters the Foundation Establishment stage, he doesn't want to go to Mount Myoboku or Ryūchi Cave.
These two Holy Land obviously have a certain heritage and may not necessarily have good intentions towards him.
Now he only needs to remain in seclusion for a period of time before he can enter Eighth-Level Qi Refining.
On the other side, Orochimaru found Jiraiya and Tsunade, and discussed the plan for Land of Water...
"What? I don't agree!"
When he heard that another war was to be launched, Jiraiya was the first to stand up and oppose it.
"It's not that we're going to start a war now, we're just planning ahead."
Orochimaru was not surprised by Jiraiya's reaction, but looked at Tsunade, wanting to ask for her opinion.
