Before leaving the cell, Orochimaru stopped outside another cell.
Shimura Danzō was sitting against the wall, looking up at Orochimaru.
"It seems that Uchiha is ready to deal with you."
Orochimaru chuckled lightly.
"If it were dealt with, no one would be summoned."
"They might take advantage of you."
"Being used means that it still has value."
Orochimaru lowered his head to adjust his sleeves, looking calm.
"As long as I can bring enough benefits to Uchiha, they won't kill me."
Danzo said coldly, "Do you think you can still deal with the major forces like in the past?"
"Konoha will not let Rogue Ninja go, and Uchiha will not really trust you. You are just a prisoner being held now."
"Prisoners are also divided into valuable and worthless."
Orochimaru stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his chapped lips.
"And I happen to belong to the former."
Danzo's eyes darkened.
"You will regret it."
"What do you regret?"
"I regret placing my hopes on Uchiha."
Orochimaru shook his head slightly.
"I never put my hope in anyone."
He turned around and walked out of the cell.
"I just believe that if you have the value of being utilized, you have the capital to survive."
A few days later, Orochimaru was taken to a secluded courtyard.
There were no redundant guards around the courtyard, only one Uchiha Ninja sent him here, and then retreated to the distance to wait.
Orochimaru did not rush to observe the surroundings, but walked to the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea.
The fragrance of tea spreads in the courtyard.
He picked up the tea cup and moved calmly, as if he was not in the Konoha controlled by Uchiha at this moment, but in his own laboratory waiting for the research results.
"Bringing me to a place like this, it seems that Ren is not prepared to talk to me as a prisoner."
Orochimaru finished speaking, and there was no fluctuation in the air behind him.
But the next moment, Ren was already sitting on the other side of the stone table.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly.
With his perception ability, he didn't notice when Ren appeared.
Ren didn't explain, just picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Orochimaru, I know your research ability very well."
"Soul Reincarnation, Impure World Reincarnation, Body Modification, Cursed Seal Fusion, and your research on medicine and the essence of life."
"You are one of Shinobi World's top biological researchers."
Orochimaru held the teacup and his smile gradually deepened.
"Clan Leader Your Excellency personally praised me, which really flatters me."
"I'm not complimenting you."
Ren said calmly, "I want to use your research ability, and I also want you to continue to study."
Orochimaru's smile paused for a moment.
"What about the conditions?"
"Uchiha will provide resources, materials and research sites."
"You can continue to study souls, bloodlines, potions and bodies."
Orochimaru's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
"Sounds good."
"But I have a question."
Ren looked at him.
"I am extremely opposed to human experimentation on living subjects."
Orochimaru The smile on the corners of his lips slowly faded.
Ren continued, "You can study corpses, Impure World Body, medicines and bloodlines, but you cannot arrest living people for experiments without authorization, let alone use Konoha civilians, Uchiha tribesmen or other innocent people as materials."
"If it's just because of this condition, I can accept it."
"You haven't finished listening yet."
Ren spoke calmly.
"Uchiha now aims to ascend to the throne of God."
"We must get the approval of the entire Shinobi World."
"Uchiha can be powerful, Temple can be established, and rules can be formulated, but the scandal of human experimentation must not be allowed to spread."
"Otherwise, the reputation Uchiha has accumulated will collapse overnight."
Orochimaru did not respond immediately.
He could see that Ren was not negotiating with him.
The other party has already made a decision and is just weighing whether to let him join Uchiha.
I want to do research, but no human experiments are allowed.
If you want results, you have to take Uchiha's reputation into consideration.
The ambition of this young Clan Leader is obviously greater than anyone he has met in the past.
Orochimaru put down the tea cup and said softly, "So, Mr. Clan Leader is still hesitating?"
"What I hesitate is whether to let you join Uchiha alive."
Ren looked at him.
"As for the value of your research, I have never doubted it."
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils slowly narrowed.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled.
"You've made your decision."
Ren did not deny it.
He took out a test tube from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table.
The test tube contained a pale golden potion, and the liquid did not sway significantly with movement, as if every drop contained independent life.
Orochimaru's eyes fell on the test tube, and his expression changed for the first time.
"This is..."
"A bargaining chip for you."
Orochimaru reached out and picked up the test tube.
He first looked at the sunlight to observe the color of the medicine, and then shook it slightly to check the speed of the liquid flow. The pale golden medicine slowly slid down against the wall of the tube, and there seemed to be a very subtle light floating inside.
Orochimaru's breathing gradually slowed down.
I pulled out the plug and smelled it first.
It's refreshing, rich, and has some kind of indescribable breath of life.
He closed his eyes, as if distinguishing every ingredient in the potion.
But the more he differentiates, the more solemn the expression on his face becomes.
There is no messy smell of common medicinal materials, nor is there the strong rejection reaction of ordinary Kekkei Genkai strengthening medicine.
The power of this potion is perfectly integrated.
Various energies with completely different properties are forcibly reconciled by some higher-level structure, and finally form a stable and pure medicinal power.
Orochimaru Pour a drop of the medicine on your fingertips.
First, slowly rub it with your fingertips to feel the subtle changes, then put your fingertips to the tip of your tongue and lick it gently.
The next moment, his body suddenly froze.
The golden vertical pupils suddenly opened wide.
"This is impossible..."
Orochimaru lowered his head again, as if he wanted to see through the entire test tube.
He has studied pharmaceuticals, Senjutsu and Cursed Seal Fusion technologies for many years. In order to study the potential of the human body, he has read almost all Konoha medical and Forbidden Technique information, and has also personally tried countless pharmaceutical formulas.
But those studies, in front of this potion, seemed as crude as a child's doodles.
Just a drop of the potion made him feel the huge life force contained in it.
It can temper the physical body, strengthen cell activity, and can directly affect the human body's innate qualifications.
The gap formed by blood and talent between ordinary people and geniuses can be forcibly smoothed out by the power of medicine.
Orochimaru's fingers began to tremble.
"It can change the human body's talent..."
Ren has no answer.
Orochimaru has come to its own conclusion.
"It's not just about improving Chakra, nor is it about forcibly stimulating the physical body."
"It's reshaping the foundation of the human body."
He stared at the test tube and his voice became lower and lower.
"Ordinary people's meridians, cells, and mental strength will be improved under the influence of the medicine. Geniuses can also continue to break through the original upper limit after taking it."
"This potion can smooth the innate gap between geniuses and ordinary people."
"As long as you take it, Ninja will be qualified to catch up with those born with strong bloodline."
Orochimaru looked at the potion repeatedly, as if what he held in his hand was not a test tube, but an answer that had never appeared in Shinobi World.
"Divine Creation..."
he murmured.
"This is definitely Divine Creation."
