"As expected of Shinsei- kun!" Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, licking the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing intense desire.
" Shinsei- chan, you don't belong to this world. I want you to take me with you when Shinsei return to your own world."
"Oh, Lord Orochimaru, aren't you afraid you won't be able to come back? Don't you want to Hokage anymore?"
"Heh heh heh, how can the Hokage Position compare to the allure of the unknown?" Orochimaru's eyes turned cold. " Shinsei- chan, why deceive me? The future Hokage Position does not belong to me, does it?"
He truly deserves to be called the pinnacle of intelligence in the Shinobi World; he can deduce the approximate future from just a few words.
Shinsei neither answered nor denied Orochimaru's conjecture.
Even when Orochimaru was enthusiastically helping him analyze the power of the Dragon Vein, Shinsei had already guessed that Orochimaru wanted to go to his own world.
After all, how could Orochimaru, who thirsts for knowledge, Fudo by the idea of traveling to another world?
This condition is nothing to Shinsei. Even without the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Shinsei would have agreed to Orochimaru's offer. So this condition is not really a condition; it's just Orochimaru confirming the reward for his efforts.
"Anything else? Lord Orochimaru, please tell me all at once."
" Shinsei- chan's Chakra manipulation ability is unparalleled in my life. He must possess a method for cultivating spiritual power." Shinsei twirled the glass bottle in his hand, his two Three-Tomoe Sharingan bobbing up and down in the nutrient solution within. "So, Shinsei Orochimaru, could you teach me this method?"
The room fell silent as Shinsei quickly began to think.
For Shinsei, the Visualization Method wasn't of much value; it was just another person to pass it on to. But for Orochimaru, this method was extremely valuable. I wonder if this Orochimaru has now mastered the Living Corpse Reincarnation.
After repeated Living Corpse Reincarnation, the soul becomes weak and may even become incomplete. Visualization Method can remedy this deficiency, repair the soul's energy, and perhaps, at a higher level, even grant immortality through the soul.
In his own world, Orochimaru, in order to obtain this set of Visualization Method, even lured the art duo to Shinsei as a battle achievement. Of course, he may have had other purposes as well, who knows?
Shinsei shook his head, his unfocused eyes staring at Orochimaru.
"The value we're exchanging isn't equal. Obtaining the Sharingan isn't difficult for me, but the method I'm going to teach you has immense value."
"Hehehe." Orochimaru laughed heartily. As long as Shinsei didn't refuse, it meant that Shinsei wasn't unwilling to exchange, but simply that the conditions weren't right.
"What does Shinsei- chan want me to do?"
" Lord Orochimaru, what do you think of the Orochimaru from the other world?"
"Oh, it seems that Shinsei- kun and Orochimaru from your world don't have a friendly relationship." Orochimaru smiled knowingly, but his eyes immediately turned cold.
"Have Shinsei ever heard of snakes having friends of their own kind? If we meet, we'll probably just become each other's food."
Shinsei doesn't doubt this statement; in the original story, Orochimaru wanted to devour Sasuke, but was instead killed.
If Orochimaru were to encounter another Orochimaru from another world, his desire would likely be even stronger than his desire to devour Sasuke. The soul energy of that other Orochimaru would be a soul tonic with no side effects for Orochimaru.
After confirming Orochimaru's intentions, Shinsei revealed his own purpose.
"I want to develop a Ninjutsu. Lord Orochimaru, could you provide some assistance with my research?"
"Hahahaha." Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly. "How could I refuse such a request? Shinsei- kun, learning all the Ninjutsu in the world has always been my pursuit!"
Shinsei wants to develop a Ninjutsu that uses Lightning Release to simulate nerve signals, thereby improving reaction speed. If this Ninjutsu is successfully developed, it will be the foundation for Shinsei's dominance in the Shinobi World.
Human neural signals are far too complex to calculate, requiring astronomical numbers. Relying solely on Shinsei and Tsunade would likely result in a very slow pace of progress.
With Orochimaru, the Shinobi World's top researcher, joining the team, the research speed will likely increase significantly.
After agreeing on the terms, Shinsei was in a good mood. Once Orochimaru left, the room fell silent, and Shinsei continued to draw the Sealing Jutsu on his leg.
"What? You want to transplant the Sharingan?" Tsunade frowned, looking at the glass bottle on the wooden table.
"Can't I? Teacher, I Chakra, I don't care about the Sharingan's consumption." Shinsei looked at Tsunade with an innocent expression.
With a "bang," Tsunade's right knuckles struck Shinsei's forehead.
"Ouch!" Shinsei clutched his forehead and rubbed it.
"Don't play dumb with me. If you transplanted the Sharingan, the Uchiha would turn the world upside down." Tsunade looked at her adopted disciple, wishing she could slap him on the forehead again.
"Tell me about this Sharingan, it was a gift from a friend." Shinsei didn't care about the Uchiha's attitude; Kakashi had Obito's Sharingan transplanted, and he was still fine.
Tsunade crossed her arms and carefully considered the consequences.
"Teacher, let me tell you, the Uchiha Clan has a special characteristic: if you beat them up, they become very obedient. Madara Uchiha was beaten up by Lord Hashirama Madara Uchiha, but he still behaved himself, didn't he?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes and said irritably, "If anything goes wrong, you're responsible for it."
"No problem, teacher. If they cause trouble, I'll just go and beat them up."
The stone tablet atop the Naka Shrine, the ancestral home of the Uchiha Clan, reads, "When the Senju and Uchiha unite, all things in the universe will evolve."
Throughout the original Hokage series, it is always the Uchiha Clan that acquires the power of the Senju.
Why can't the Senju obtain the power of the Uchiha Clan?
It's a pity it's not the Mangekyō Sharingan. If it Mangekyō, and I transplanted it myself, would I slowly go blind like the Uchiha?
Or perhaps, like Obito Uchiha received a transplant of Hashirama Cells, he possesses Mangekyō that prevents him from going blind.
Tsunade took out a storage scroll, formed hand Hand Seals, and a row of surgical instruments appeared on the wooden table.
Shinsei was somewhat surprised after sensing Tsunade's movement.
"Teacher, are you going to perform the transplant now? Don't I need to do any preparation?"
Tsunade grabbed Shinsei and used her immense strength to pin him down on the bed.
What do you need to prepare for an eye transplant? Lie still and don't move!
Slender, warm fingers pried open Shinsei's mouth and dropped in a pill.
"Swallow it."
Shinsei hurriedly swallowed the pill, and gradually, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier until he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Shinsei woke up and was about to open his eyes.
"Don't move! Don't open your eyes!" Tsunade shouted sternly.
Shinsei sensed a pair of unfamiliar and cold eyes in his eye sockets, which seemed to subtly reject him.
Warm Chakra gathered on his forehead, Shinsei could clearly feel the growth of nerve cells in his eye sockets.
"Alright." Tsunade. "Open your eyes."
