Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 19 Base
"Master Orochimaru!"

In a remote and lawless area on the border of the Land of Fire, several ninjas suddenly jumped out from the ground, bowed their heads and knelt on one knee before Orochimaru.

"Is there anything we need to pay attention to?" Orochimaru, Lu Ni and the other two stopped and asked the three ninjas that appeared in front of them.

"Everything is normal." The leading ninja replied immediately.

"Go and do your things. I'll stay here for a while this time." Orochimaru waved his hand, signaling the three to leave.

"Where is this place, Teacher Orochimaru?" Looking at the three ninjas that disappeared quickly, Red Bean became curious.

"I just built a private base outside." Orochimaru continued to move forward with the three of them, and stopped in front of a mountain wall not far away. He fluttered his ten fingers and formed seals, and finally clasped his palms together, like a summoning technique, and placed his palms on the mountain wall.

With Orochimaru's palm as the center, dense black runes spread around the mountain wall like a spider web. Under Hongdou's focused gaze, the mountain wall suddenly trembled and began to move, revealing a dark cave behind the mountain wall.

"Come in." Orochimaru took the lead and stepped into the cave, followed by Red Bean. When all four of them entered the cave, the door on the mountain wall that had been moved away slammed shut again.

As the mountain walls closed, the interior of the cave suddenly became brighter. Torches began to burn, illuminating a brightly lit path and lighting up the dark cave belly in every detail.

This is a base built between the mountains.

Winding down the excavated stairs, you will eventually reach the open space below.

There are rooms along the way, and even cells with iron bars.

The first floor is filled with various instruments.

The second floor is composed of rooms, which are like living areas.

I took a cursory look at the third floor and didn't go deeper, but the lingering cold atmosphere in the darkness and the faintly visible fences still explained what kind of place this was.

"This is where you can rest. You can choose any room. We need to stay here for a while." After taking Lu Ni and the other two on a quick tour to familiarize themselves with the base, Orochimaru said in the corridor on the second floor.

"Also, tomorrow you will be my assistant, Luna. Is that ok?" Orochimaru said, looking at Luna beside him.

"Are you going to study natural energy? No problem for me." Lu Ni nodded. Now that he has mastered a lot of medical ninjutsu, and has a deeper understanding and progress in the human body, it is no problem for him to help Orochimaru and be his assistant.

With Orochimaru's personality, he would not cherish what he has and guard against Lu Nie learning something from him. At least from the current interactions, Orochimaru is really trying to teach him and Red Bean.

……

The next day.

Jūgo was used as a material and lay on the test bench for a whole day. Orochimaru's coldness and obsession during the research made Hongdou, who was following him and saw the cold side of her teacher, feel numb all over.

What made Anko even more excited was that Kane, who was younger than her, was able to remain calm in this research that made her feel uncomfortable, and could even discuss it with teacher Orochimaru from time to time.

For a moment, Hongdou vaguely believed that Orochimaru and Kaname were the normal people in the team.

Could it be that the team led by my teacher is a team that recruits perverts?

Even Jūgo, who was a test subject, was an ultimate pervert in Anko's eyes. Who could be studied for a whole day with bloodletting, dissection, etc., only to hum a few times, and then be cured by medical ninjutsu, and then be able to put on clothes and sit up and move around like nothing happened?

"Aren't you in pain?" Hongdou approached Chougo who was wearing clothes and asked quietly. She felt that Chougo was very honest and kind when he was calm, and could be considered a friend. She always felt a little sorry for him to endure the research on the test bench that she couldn't bear to look at.

"Pain? No!" Chougo looked at Anko's concerned face, and while he was touched, he shook his head: "The potion prepared by Lu Nie is very good. My whole body is paralyzed. I don't feel any pain, but I am a little bored."

"Wouldn't you be angry if the teacher treated you like that?" Hongdou was a little confused. She thought that Juugo would be angry at the behavior of Orochimaru and his teacher, but what was the result?
"I agreed to be their experimental subject, and before the research, Lu Nie also told me the process in advance and obtained my consent. Lu Nie did what he promised me. There will be no pain during the process, and there will be no scars at the end. Why should I be angry?
I feel good and at ease that I can be needed and be studied here quietly instead of going out to kill people. " Shigeo shook his head and said calmly.

"You're such a weirdo!" Red Bean commented on Jūgo.

the other side.

"Jūgo's body is truly a treasure. Looking at these data, I have an urge to make some moves." Orochimaru looked at today's experimental data, and a hint of joy appeared on his usually calm face.

These data are of course useless in the hands of some ignorant reckless people, but in the eyes of a smart research-oriented person like him, their value is much higher than an S-level forbidden technique.

They pointed him in a new direction!
This made Orochimaru's desire for research soar. The last time he was so excited about the materials and data was when it involved the cells of the first generation of Wood Release.

But that was because he was curious about Wood Release and wanted to defraud research funds.

The current research on Chongwu involves his future path to immortality and immortality. To put it bluntly, with Chongwu as research material, he has a path to walk on.

"Teacher Orochimaru, do you want to master fairy techniques?" Lu Ni stood beside Orochimaru, also holding a piece of data about Jūgo's body in his hand.

"Who wouldn't want to? Those who can master immortal arts are called immortals! For example, the three sacred places of spiritual beasts. The immortals there have lived for at least a thousand years! From this point of view, since spiritual beasts that have mastered the energy of immortal arts can live for a thousand years, what about humans?"

There was a fanaticism burning in Orochimaru's eyes. It was precisely because of the examples of Ryuchi Cave and the other two holy places that he dared to truly hope for and pursue immortality.

"But the immortal technique of Ryuchi Cave..." Orochimaru showed an unpleasant look on his face. "Until you have enough power to protect yourself, Lu Nie, you'd better not go to see the immortal of Ryuchi Cave. It's not someone who is easy to talk to."
