The two made their way to the basement beneath Konoha Hospital.
Pushing open the door, Orochimaru was operating the equipment inside. He turned his face, sticking out his tongue and licking the corner of his mouth.
"It's Minato. Is he here to boost his Chakra?"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Minato nodded.
Orochimaru took a glass test tube filled with a pale green liquid from the drawer, then took out a syringe, drew the pale green liquid into the syringe, and lifted Minato's arm.
"Wait a minute," Shinsei interrupted.
He took out a test tube filled with a clear liquid. "Let's give you some local anesthetic first, it will hurt a lot."
Minato shook his head. "I'm not afraid of pain."
He chuckled suddenly as he spoke and said, "I don't want Kushina to call me a sissy anymore."
It was just an injection. Although Kushina called him a sissy, he really didn't think of himself as one.
If he needed an injection, he would need anesthesia. If Kushina found out, this nickname would stay with him for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing Minato's words, Shinsei and Orochimaru simultaneously revealed amused smiles.
Shinsei said with a smile, "You said it yourself, no anesthesia. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Minato stretched out his arm and said, "Come on! It's just a shot."
Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked it around his mouth. He quickly inserted the syringe into Minato's arm, and the pale green liquid slowly flowed into his arm.
Minato froze, clenched his teeth and fists, and the veins on his body began to bulge.
It felt like countless ants were tearing at his cells, starting from his arm; the extreme pain contorted his handsome face.
"Ah!!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
"How... long... will it last!" Minato felt the pain making him lose consciousness.
Orochimaru chuckled upon hearing Minato's words, "Hehehe, it won't last long; the pain will pass quickly."
Shinsei nodded. "That's right, it'll only be two or three hours, it'll be over soon."
"Give me... anesthesia!"
Orochimaru slowly took the transparent glass test tube from Shinsei's hand.
" Minato, won't you reconsider? Kushina will think you lack manliness if she finds out."
The intense pain in his body seemed to pause for a moment, and a red-haired girl seemed to keep shouting "sissy, sissy, sissy" in his mind.
On one side was excruciating pain, like torture; on the other was the gentle face of a red-haired girl.
Minato's distorted face seemed to show his inner turmoil.
Shinsei stopped teasing him, took out a syringe, filled it with anesthetic, and injected it into his other arm.
Minato gave a grateful look, and his body began to go limp.
Shinsei laid Minato down on the table; a slight white tinge started to spread outwards from Minato's arm.
He looked at Orochimaru beside him and sensed that his aura was different from before, becoming more powerful yet somewhat chaotic.
"You went to find Orochimaru in this world?" Shinsei asked.
"Hehehe." Orochimaru licked his lips. "As expected of Shinsei- kun, you guessed it so quickly."
In another world, Shinsei had heard Orochimaru say that two Orochimaru would only devour each other instead of cooperating.
Those who cultivate the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique have damaged souls and urgently need a way to repair them.
That's why Orochimaru in this world cared so much about Shinsei, and even thoughtfully prepared Cloning Technique information for him as a gift.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking did not earn Shinsei's gratitude; instead, it made Shinsei even more wary.
Only the Orochimaru of another world hasn't become as thoroughly corrupted as the Orochimaru of this world.
He is a better candidate for Shinsei.
"Looks like Lord Orochimaru has made quite a haul," Shinsei said with a smile.
"I have indeed gained some things. This version of myself in this world has given me a lot more Ninjutsu and knowledge that I didn't have before, saving me a lot of time."
It seems that Orochimaru has fully absorbed the memories of the other Orochimaru.
Why did Lord Orochimaru come back?
"Hehehe." Orochimaru licked his lips. "No need to test me, Shinsei- kun."
I am still me, but not the me of this world. Although I have accepted the memories of another version of myself in this world, I have no intention of betraying Konoha.
He looked earnestly at Shinsei: "As long as Shinsei- kun hasn't betrayed Konoha, I will always stand by Konoha's side."
"Oh? I didn't expect that I would be valued so highly by Lord Orochimaru?" Shinsei responded noncommittally to Orochimaru's words.
"Hehehe... Shinsei- chan, you don't realize your own worth."
Coming into this world and accepting all the memories and soul energy of my other self is not my greatest gain.
"You've always been my greatest gain, Shinsei- chan."
This answer surprised Shinsei quite a bit.
"Do I really still have that much value?"
Orochimaru shook his head seriously. " Shinsei- chan, you have never realized your own worth."
In my opinion, your greatest value lies in your boundless imagination, that extreme imagination of Ninjutsu, which I lack.
" Shinsei- chan doesn't see this as a huge value because you don't yet have the ability to realize it."
"But I have the potential to make your dreams a reality, so Shinsei- kun, as long as you remain in Konoha, I will never betray Konoha."
Hearing this, Shinsei felt a chill run down his spine. After Orochimaru devoured another Orochimaru, his thinking had indeed changed somewhat.
Fortunately, he won't betray Konoha yet, but whatever thoughts you have in the future, you must never mention them to him.
Orochimaru's wild imagination stemmed from the vast amount of information Shinsei had encountered in his previous life.
Shinsei's research abilities are indeed not comparable to Orochimaru's, so he is unable to realize many of his ideas.
The reason he was able to return alive and devour another Orochimaru was mostly because of the Visualization Method he passed on to him.
It seems that I must not easily pass on my Internal Alchemy until I have absolute certainty about them.
Otherwise, if Orochimaru gets his hands on it, he might create some terrifying Orochimaru.
"By the way, Lord Orochimaru, how's the information deciphering going?"
The information that Shinsei refers to as deciphering information is the signal transmitted by the body's nerves.
The brain sends signals to the body, and the body then takes action after receiving these signals.
The reaction time for an ordinary person is about 0.1 seconds. A ninja can greatly increase their reaction time by Chakra, but it is still within a few tenths of a second.
The Uchiha Clan who possess the Sharingan have the ability of dynamic vision; objects appear to move more slowly when Sharingan, but the body cannot keep up with the eye's reaction time.
Newly awakened Uchiha clan members experience a mismatch between their physical state and what their eyes perceive; they may see a fist coming at them but are unable to dodge it.
Shinsei wanted to solve the problem of the reaction time from the brain to the body.
This allows for a further increase in body speed.
If developed, his abilities would likely be similar to those of the Flash.
Therefore, this Ninjutsu under development was named Descent of the Thunder God.
Orochimaru licked his lips. "One good news, one bad news."
