Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

"If you want to gain power quickly, I have a newly developed curse seal technique that can directly stimulate the chakra in the human body and gain powerful power for a short period of time."

Orochimaru picked up a green scroll and handed it to Uchiha Yi.

Taking the scroll, Uchiha Yi began to read the contents.

This is an experimental record, recording the benefits gained by ninjas of different strengths after planting the curse seal.

According to records, one-third of the people exploded and died directly after the curse was placed on them, and the remaining survivors could gain a 20%-30% increase in chakra volume.

Orochimaru probably hadn't captured Jūgo at this time, so the current Curse Sealing Technique is still in its early stages, with a high failure rate and average effectiveness.

"The failure rate is too high, and the chakra increase is limited."

Uchiha Yi glanced at Orochimaru and shook his head.

"You have to pay a price to gain power. With your strength, you can definitely survive the erosion of the curse on the human body."

Orochimaru didn't care and threw out another scroll, "This is my genetic modification technology. It contains my latest research results on Hashirama Senju's cells. If you are interested, I can help you transplant the cells of the first generation and gain powerful regenerative abilities and Wood Release Bloodline Limit."

"Forget it. I have no interest in fusing other people's cells."

Uchiha Yi simply waved his hand and refused.

Transplanting the first generation of cells is extremely risky, and in the original work, only Yamato succeeded.

Orochimaru probably wants to use him as a test subject.

"Yi, you are so picky."

Orochimaru looked somewhat dissatisfied. His many years of research results were actually despised by Uchiha Yi.

"Then take a look at this. This technique is almost complete. The legendary immortality, haha, I will achieve it soon."

"immortal?"

Uchiha Yi's eyes flashed and he took the scroll, which contained experimental data and a brief description.

It turns out to be the art of reincarnation.

By transferring your spirit into another person's body, you gain eternal life.

However, the failure rate of this technique is extremely high, and there has not been even a single successful example so far. Moreover, each time the technique is performed, the main body's mental strength will be reduced. If the mental strength is insufficient, the main body will eventually become dementia.

But even so, reincarnation can be regarded as a unique technique for immortality. This unconventional method is simply a genius idea.

"This technique is incredible. If it succeeds, you can achieve eternal life."

There was shock in Uchiha Yi's eyes.

When it comes to the study of forbidden techniques, Orochimaru is indeed a unique genius.

Seeing Uchiha Yi's surprise, Orochimaru smiled and said proudly: "This technique has been verified and is completely feasible in theory. What remains is experimentation and improvement."

Uchiha Yi nodded. After a moment of silence, he stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I came to you to learn fairy arts."

"Immortal magic?"

When Orochimaru heard this, his expression was slightly stunned. After looking at Yi with a scrutinizing gaze, he slowly said: "Not many people know about the immortal technique. Did Minato Namikaze tell you?"

"Yes, I have seen Minato use fairy techniques." Uchiha Yi admitted.

"So...how much do you know about fairy arts?" Orochimaru's snake eyes glowed faintly.

"I know that if I want to learn immortal arts, I must go to one of the three sacred places: Myoboku Mountain, Ryuchi Cave, or the Wet Bone Forest." Uchiha Yi said calmly.

"Is that why you came to see me?" Orochimaru asked.

"That's right." Uchiha Yi nodded.

"I see. I didn't expect your goal was the Sage Technique. The Sage Mode is not something that ordinary people can master."

Orochimaru's expression gradually became serious, and he frowned slightly as if he was recalling something.

"If you want to practice the magic of Longdi Cave, you must pass the trial of the White Snake Immortal. With your strength, it should be no problem for you to pass the trial, but you will only be qualified to practice the magic. I have also practiced the magic before, but failed. If you want to learn the magic from me..."

"As long as you can take me to the Longdi Cave, I will figure out how to practice the immortal arts myself."

"You have a method to practice immortal arts? Did Minato Namikaze tell you?"

When Orochimaru heard Uchiha Yi say that there was a method to practice immortal arts, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

In this world, there are only a few people who can master the Sage Mode.

In the entire Konoha Village, only Minato Namikaze knows fairy techniques.

Uchiha Yi did not answer, but remained silent.

For a moment, the laboratory fell into a brief silence.

Orochimaru looked at Yi deeply, and suddenly asked coldly: "I can help you practice immortal arts, so what can you bring to me?"

"Are you still planning on competing for the position of Hokage? I can support you."

Uchiha Yi looked at Orochimaru quietly and added: "Or, you can make other requests, but they must be within my ability."

"Oh? You actually support me? From what I know, you and Namikaze Minato are very close."

There was doubt in Orochimaru's snake eyes.

"I don't care who becomes Hokage. It can't change the current situation anyway."

Uchiha Yi's tone was casual.

Although Minato Namikaze has a closer relationship with him, it doesn't mean that he is on his side.

On the contrary, Uchiha Yi never considered himself to be from the same faction as Minato Namikaze.

Minato actually represents the Hokage lineage of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if he becomes the Hokage, he can't change anything.

Minato Namikaze's character and methods are too upright and gentle, and he is actually not suitable to be the leader of a country or a village.

To some extent, Uchiha Yi is more optimistic about Orochimaru.

From any point of view, Orochimaru was qualified to be the Fourth Hokage, and during this period, Orochimaru still had deep feelings for Konoha Village and had no intention of defecting.

He conducted human experimentation and research only to enhance his strength, and the subjects were mostly ninjas from other villages.

Moreover, Orochimaru's achievements in the Second and Third Ninja Wars definitely surpassed Minato's, and his qualifications and status were also far higher than Minato's.

Therefore, during this period of time, Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately distanced himself from Orochimaru and handed over all command of the front line to Minato, in order to build momentum for Minato.

Compared to Orochimaru, Minato is easier to control and will not threaten the rights of their older generation.

"Haha, the position of Hokage, of course I am interested. If I have your support, I will be more confident."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.

He knew very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen preferred Namikaze Minato, and compared to him, Namikaze Minato was more popular in the village.

However, the position of Hokage needs to be decided by voting of the elite jonin in the entire village, and it is not something that Sarutobi Hiruzen can control alone.

Among the Konoha Elders, Danzo, the most powerful one, will also support him.

Now with the support of Uchiha Yi, it is equivalent to getting the support of the Uchiha clan, the largest clan in Konoha.

There is also a good chance of becoming the Hokage.

After all, Uchiha Yi is now at the top of the younger generation in Konoha Village in terms of strength and prestige.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, looked into Yi's eyes, and after a long while he gently opened his lips and said slowly: "In addition to your support for me to become Hokage, I have another request."

"any request?"

"I need you to provide some cell tissue."

"You want to study my cell tissue?"

"Yes, I am curious about your physique."

There was silence in the laboratory for a while, and then Uchiha Yi's voice sounded.

"can."
