Konoha: Who is the good person?

Orochimaru's body was severely damaged. A normal person would have died a thousand deaths with such injuries.

But his body, after being modified with soft body techniques, was extremely special, essentially completely divorced from the realm of human bodies.

Under Yamanaka Kei's healing ninja techniques, Orochimaru's own recovery ability was thoroughly stimulated.

Dense, overlapping white scales appeared on his body surface.

As the injuries rapidly recovered.

"Hiss~ A serpent that has lived for thousands of years, doesn't Kei-kun feel curious about it?"

Orochimaru's snake body was still slumped on the ground.

The constant division and regeneration of cells consumed a large amount of life energy.

Barely recovering from that near-death state, even his modified body would fall into a long period of weakness.

"......Alright."

Yamanaka Kei nodded slightly. This old monster who had lived for thousands of years seemed indeed full of attraction for Orochimaru, who was pursuing eternal life.

But perhaps it was because he had subconsciously accepted this setting early on.

He really hadn't thought about researching the three Sages, at most he would just be thinking about their Sage Mode.

Orochimaru heard this perfunctory tone and could tell that Yamanaka Kei was completely uninterested in this matter.

A gleam flashed in his snake eyes, and he tentatively opened his mouth.

"Kei-kun's Wood Release, where did it come from?"

"Compared to directly obtaining the answer, the process of discovery and research is also a rare experience, don't you think so, Orochimaru-kun?"

Yamanaka Kei couldn't possibly say that he had a system cheat.

He vaguely responded with a few words, buried the Wood Dragons and Wood Golems back into the ground, and after tidying up the flowers of the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees.

He directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Orochimaru back to the original location of the Bone Corrosion Ground's seventh experimental base.

Taking out a palm-sized scroll from the jonin flak jacket's scroll bag.

Yamanaka Kei casually undid the first seal at the top.

The White Zetsu sealed within appeared before Orochimaru in a cloud of rising chakra smoke.

Like a plant reviving after hibernation.

The White Zetsu stretched its limbs, moved its body, and then began to survey the surrounding environment.

The moment it saw Yamanaka Kei, it shuddered solidly.

Subconsciously, it wanted to escape from the ground.

But before it could move, vines of Wood Release rose from the ground and bound it in place.

"A species that can survive in a storage seal through hibernation..."

Bearing a White Snake body, Orochimaru braced his weakened body and came to the White Zetsu.

Ignoring the other party's noisy nonsense.

The sharp snake teeth in his mouth directly bit into the White Zetsu's neck.

A green liquid, completely different from human blood, burst out in his mouth, that vitality-filled, yet completely different from human's strange aura made Orochimaru's snake pupils shine brightly.

"Be careful, this thing can run away underground, and it also uses Wood Release, when you're done playing with it, give me a shout, and I'll send you another one."

Under the circumstances of starting cooperation, Yamanaka Kei was not prepared to give Orochimaru too many White Zetsu at once.

After all, although this thing's combat power is not high, its abilities are extremely troublesome.

Heaven knows when Orochimaru would have a brain fart and use White Zetsu to create some big chaos.

After thinking about it, he said again.

"Orochimaru-kun, how is your Impure World Resurrection research going?"

"Unable to completely retain the deceased's power before death, the control also has great flaws, the records in the Book of Seals lack a lot of important information, the Second Hokage did not retain the complete technique."

Orochimaru's snake mouth left the White Zetsu's neck, his eyes still fixed on the White Zetsu's wound, observing its recovery.

"Study it more, later we'll resurrect a few people."

Yamanaka Kei was not surprised that Tobirama Senju did not leave behind the complete Impure World Resurrection technique.

After all, with his wisdom, it was impossible not to leave a backhand.

"Oh? Is this the correct path that Kei-kun mentioned before?"

"That's not it, but haven't you thought about pulling Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha to do research together?"

Yamanaka Kei casually found a chair and sat down.

In his opinion, simply using the Impure World Resurrection technique for combat was a bit of a waste.

Hashirama Senju seemed to have no outstanding performance in research, but who dares to say that a man who can develop Wood Release to the extreme doesn't understand ninjutsu?

Tobirama Senju was even more of a research fanatic, how many forbidden techniques in Konoha were created by him.

And Madara Uchiha, independently completed the cell culture and transplantation of Hashirama Senju, and successfully cultivated the Rinnegan.

If these three were to do research with Orochimaru.

Tsk tsk tsk~

Even Otsutsuki would cry!

Moreover......

Just pay a White Zetsu, and you can get a chosen workhorse that doesn't eat, drink, sleep, and doesn't even want wages!

A hundred kilometers consumes, a tiny bit of chakra?

Where can you find such a good thing!

"......Kei-kun, you really are a madman."

Orochimaru's gaze finally moved away from White Zetsu.

Pulling the Kage who knew everything from the past and that legendary man to do research together, is this idea something a normal person can have?

But such a scene......

The strange creature in front of him, the idea of pulling the predecessors to do research together, and the possibly truly existing eternal life, and the fairly equal cooperative attitude......

Cooperating with Yamanaka Kei, perhaps it's not as bad as he thought?

[Ding~ Greatly advancing the fate line of an important plot character, the development process of the world line is accelerated, obtained: Entry Draw Chance × 3, Entry Gift Chance × 2, Random Blue Entry Upgrade Chance × 1, Entry Stripping Chance × 1, Entry Reset Chance × 1.]

The system prompt sound suddenly came.

Yamanaka Kei raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just now he was wondering if the impact he had on Orochimaru didn't count as changing his fate.

After all, in the original work, this guy was also doing research in the end.

He mostly just skipped the middle process.

Unexpectedly, it could still be like this!

Moreover, this guy Orochimaru is really fat!

No kill, nor completely changed, just advancing the fate line, accelerating the fate process, and the reward is so generous.

Um......

The gold content of the reward is slightly inferior to killing Madara Uchiha in advance, but it is much higher than Danzo.

The face of the First Hokage, the Pot Shadow, is completely gone.

"Orochimaru must kowtow to me! Avoid twenty years of detours!"

Yamanaka Kei muttered in his heart.

Looking at Orochimaru, who was oblivious on the side, he turned his face away with a look of disgust.

During the time he was in a daze.

This guy Orochimaru, his snake tongue almost licked White Zetsu all over.

That scene.

Even perverts want to call him a pervert!

And that White Zetsu is also a weirdo, he even directed Orochimaru, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right.

Looking at his face full of comfort, he was obviously immersed in this strange feeling and unable to extricate himself.

Please!

Have a little self-awareness, you are now an experimental subject, okay!

Maybe you will be dissected at any time, piece by piece.

What are you enjoying!

"......Orochimaru-kun, why don't you send me to Ryuchi Cave first, and you slowly study?"

Yamanaka Kei really didn't want to stay here any longer.

Looking at this scene, he felt that he might go blind if he looked at it any longer!
