After a long period of research, Orochimaru finally discovered the abnormality inside Xue Ge.
"What kind of chakra is this-"
Orochimaru frowned as he observed the purple chakra that had seeped out slightly under external stimulation.
Having, in a sense, raised Xue Ge for four years, Orochimaru could be certain that this was not Xue Ge's own chakra.

The mortality rate was somewhat higher when he
