Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 58 Conversation
"Have you done any research on the tailed beasts?"

In the laboratory where only Orochimaru and Lu Nie were present, Lu Nie asked while preparing tools for Orochimaru's experiment.

Orochimaru's body stiffened for a moment, and he turned to Kane with a strange expression: "Why are you suddenly interested in tailed beasts? Is it because of the encounter with the Two-Tails of the Kumo Ninja?"

"Yes, that kind of catastrophic power is very shocking. If it weren't for the Wood Release that restrains the tailed beasts, our three escapes might not have been so smooth." While disinfecting the tools, Lu Nie answered Orochimaru's words.

"With your current strength, facing the tailed beasts would indeed be a disaster. But as the ultimate deterrent force of the ninja village, it is impossible for you to study the tailed beasts easily." Orochimaru's words were meant to stop Kagawa's overflowing desire for research.

"Of course I know this. I don't expect the village to allow the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to be used for our research. But what if we don't need the Nine-Tails?" Lu Nie licked the corner of his lips and spoke almost frankly to Orochimaru.

"Don't need the Nine-Tails? Do you want to find tailed beasts from other ninja villages as materials?" For a moment, Orochimaru once again felt an almost arrogant desire to explore from Kaname.

"Haven't you noticed that I'm now also considered a Jinchūriki?" Lu Nie said at the end, his tone somewhat uncertain.

Theoretically, he has a tailed beast sealed inside him, which makes him a Jinchūriki. But in terms of strength, the tailed beast sealed by this Jinchūriki is probably the weakest one.

When Orochimaru heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face.

Lu Nie took the initiative to lift up his clothes, revealing the Bagua seal cast by Minato on his abdomen, and presented it to Orochimaru. At the same time, a kind of violent and violent chakra that was completely different from Lu Nie's chakra also rose from his body.

"This chakra, is it from the Two-Tails?" Orochimaru carefully felt the chakra that was somewhat familiar to him. The shock on his always cold and calm face had not faded.

"Did you deal with the two-tail?" he asked Lu Nie.

"How is that possible!" Lu Nie shook his head. His mental strength and Yin Dun power were almost exhausted at that time. If he continued to draw out, he would lose consciousness and fall into the bloodline.

He just took advantage of the situation and plundered a part of the second tail.

"For some reasons that I'm not sure of, I cut off a part from the Two-Tail. This part carries the Two-Tail's consciousness." Lu Nie explained his situation frankly.

"Split consciousness? How interesting!" Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Nie's words. He himself was trying to split his spiritual consciousness, or soul, into multiple pieces, and achieve his goal of immortality through body transformation and certain forbidden techniques.

What Lu Nie said really piqued his interest, so much so that he postponed the research that he was about to conduct.

"So, inside your body now is another Two-Tails that doesn't belong to the Cloud Ninja?" Orochimaru licked his lips, a strong desire to explore emerging on his face.

Orochimaru knew that there were people who possessed the chakra of the tailed beasts but were not Jinchūriki. For example, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, who were responsible for the deaths of the Second Hokage and the Second Raikage, both possessed the chakra of the Nine-Tails.

But it was the first time that Orochimaru had seen someone like Lunai split a tailed beast into two parts and become a Jinchūriki of the same tailed beast at the same time. He vaguely sensed something that moved his heart.

"Yes. I have seen it in my consciousness and talked to it." Lu Nie nodded. "It's amazing." Orochimaru smiled strangely. "You know, Lu Nie, I was also very interested in the power of the tailed beasts. I also wanted to pursue and study them."

Lu Nie looked at Orochimaru who was lost in his memories, and waited in silence for his next words.

"Follow me!" Orochimaru threw the tools in his hand aside and took Luna to an open space in the technical development department. He bit his fingertips with his teeth and made a summoning seal with his own blood.

Bang!
A snake as thick as an arm was summoned out. When it saw Orochimaru, its mouth formed an astonishing arc and it spat out a sticky jar containing an unknown liquid.

The jar was about half a meter high and covered with densely packed sealing runes.

Orochimaru squatted down, not caring about the sticky liquid on it. He gently rubbed the can with his hand and said to Lu Nie: "I once sneaked into Kumogakure and applied a neurotoxin to the then Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Bruhi, and cut off a part of the Eight-Tails' chakra before it went crazy."

Lu Nie was amazed at Orochimaru's boldness. It was not difficult to find the identity of the Jinchūriki. He could find the Jinchūriki by spending some time sneaking into the village and not getting caught.

The difficulty lies in avoiding the Anbu ninjas who are both monitoring and protecting the Jinchūriki, achieving one's goal without alerting anyone, and escaping safely.

If Orochimaru had been discovered at that time, given the vengeful style of Kumogakure, they would have definitely spread the news to the entire ninja world, and then they would have gathered a large number of troops with great fanfare to either launch a direct attack or to intimidate and reap huge profits from Konoha.

But since there is no such information, it is obvious that Orochimaru concealed it from everyone in Kumogakure, including the Jinchūriki.

A mad Jinchūriki is a great threat to any village. If there is no strong person to stop and suppress it, then the village will inevitably suffer a lot of damage and losses. If this happens during war, it will be a huge blow to the village and morale.

"This jar contains the chakra that I cut and sealed from the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Of course, it's just pure chakra. All I can do is seal it and preserve it so that it doesn't dissipate quickly."

Orochimaru looked at Luna as if he were a treasure.

He was not excited because Renekton became the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. He had no obsession with Jinchuriki, and the same was true for the tailed beasts and other bloodlines.

He now only wants to perfect his art of immortality.

Now, he sensed from Lu Nie the opportunity and inspiration that would allow him to perfect a certain technique! This gave him hope for the technique of immortality!
"I can give you all the data I have on the Eight-Tails. Similarly, I can help you master the power of the Two-Tails, but you have to give something." Orochimaru raised his finger: "Help me perfect the method of splitting the spirit."

"Of course." Lu Nie did not refuse. The same technology in everyone's hands will produce different effects depending on the user's thinking.

The fact that Orochimaru is now willing to let him join the research on immortality shows that his recognition and importance of him have reached a level that no one else can match.
