Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Because of this idea, when Kabuto Yakushi received a message from Uchiha Shisui that he needed to start a highly confidential research project, his heart could even be described as secretly happy.

Being able to access projects with a higher level of confidentiality means that the Fourth Mizukage's trust in him has been raised to a higher level than before, and this trust is very important for him to climb to the top of Kirigakure's medical ninja. important meaning.

But what Kabuto Yakushi never expected was that when he followed Uchiha Shisui with great ambition and enthusiasm to the laboratory of the fourth Mizukage Kaguya Rei, the person in charge of the new project who came to greet him was actually It would be someone he never thought of——

One of the former three ninjas of Konoha and a senior member of the family who knows his true identity, he is now an S-class rebel ninja, Orochimaru.

What, what's going on? Why is Orochimaru here? Has my identity been exposed?

There was a huge wave in Kabuto Yakushi's heart, and he subconsciously set his pace, trying to create a little chance to escape from a dangerous ninja like Orochimaru, but when he saw the man walking away from the corner of his eye, With Uchiha Shisui beside him, this thought was quietly annihilated.

There is no escape.

He was just a brat who had just graduated from the ninja school. Even if he risked his life, he would not be able to defeat an enemy above the chunin level. Whether it was Orochimaru or Uchiha Shisui, their strength far exceeded theirs. For beings of the ninja level, if they who are so close really want to take away your life, you may not even know when your death will come.

Since you can't resist, let's first take a look at what medicine is sold in the gourd opposite.

After calming down a little, Yakushi Kabuto's eyes turned to the other two figures already in the laboratory.

A tall and plump young girl, this is Orochimaru's disciple, Mitarashi Anko who defected from Konoha with him;

The one who was soaked in the nutrient solution and looked haggard and unconscious was a member of the Hyuga clan of Konoha. Makoto Hyuga was severely exploited by Kirigakure as a tool to obtain the Byakugan...

? ? ?

The simple yet complicated identity structure of the five people in the laboratory made several big question marks pop up in Yakushi Kabuto's head.

Orochimaru and Mitarashi Anko are the rebellious ninjas of Konoha, Hyuga Makoto is the trophy Kirigakure took from Konoha, Uchiha Shisui is a convert who changed his status as a trophy by becoming a disciple of the Fourth Mizukage, and he himself He was a spy sent by Konoha to lurk, but was forgotten for some reason...

what's the situation? Is this a meeting of Konoha ninjas?

Seeing the confusion and incomprehension on Yakushi Kabuto's face, Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and said unhurriedly:

"Everyone is here, so it's almost time to explain to you the content of the project that the Fourth Mizukage entrusted me to complete..."

Three scrolls flew out of Orochimaru's cuffs and landed accurately in the hands of Uchiha Shisui, Mitarashi Anko and Yakushi Kabuto. After briefly browsing the contents above, Uchiha Shisui shook it with a wry smile. He nodded and was the first to speak out his feelings:

"The Yondaime did it after all... I knew that with his character, it would be impossible for him to pin all the chances of obtaining the power of the Byakugan and Sharingan on me and Hinata Makoto."

"You still don't know until now, Shisui?"

Mitarai Anko, who had already seen Kaguya Rei's ideas in this regard during the development process of various specialized curse seals, rolled her eyes and said in the tone of an experienced person:

"Didn't the Fourth Generation tell you long ago that he wanted to use the Byakugan and Sharingan in other fields besides war? If he hadn't imagined such a method close to mass production, just relying on you and Hyuga Makoto would If you are running a business by yourself, even the fourth generation will probably not be able to do such extravagant things..."

"I know, but...but this idea is a bit too bold."

Uchiha Shisui looked at the withered and yellow Hinata Makoto in the nutrient solution and hesitated to speak.

"The Fourth Mizukage has always had bold ideas, otherwise he wouldn't have reached this position that is eyed and coveted by countless people at such a young age."

Orochimaru chuckled and took over the conversation. He turned his head slightly and looked at Kabuto Yakushi who couldn't help but tremble because of the words recorded in the scroll. He habitually licked his lips with his astonishingly long tongue. , asked in a calm tone:

"What do you think, Kabuto?"

After the words fell, Mitarashi Anko and Uchiha Shisui looked at Kabuto, the only pharmacist who had not had much contact with them in the laboratory and was also the only "Kirigakure" ninja, wanting to hear about this person who was attacked by Orochimaru. What kind of insights does the genius boy who asked Rei Kaguya have by name?

"me……"

Kabuto Yakushi felt uncomfortable under the gazes of several people. A large amount of cold sweat was pouring out from his forehead and back. He was afraid that he would accidentally be discovered by the other three people present when he spoke, but there was no time left for him. It wasn’t much. After thinking about it, he finally had to bite the bullet and said:

"This is not something I am qualified to evaluate now... Whether it is the fourth generation's wild ideas or this, Orochimaru-dono's logical and rigorous arguments, there is a huge gap between my cognitive level. , I don’t think it’s something worth advocating to evaluate the feasibility of something without knowing anything.”

"Being able to admit one's ignorance is an excellent virtue, Kabuto."

Orochimaru walked up to Yakushi Kabuto with a smile on his lips, stretched out his hand to him, and said in a rare and kind tone:

"But you don't need to belittle yourself. The more people can recognize their own ignorance, the more they can remain pious and focused when facing knowledge... I am very optimistic that you can become my excellent assistant, Kabuto."

"Thank you, thank you for your kind words..." Kabuto Yakushi stretched out his hand to shake Orochimaru's hand at a loss. He sighed in his heart that the other person's body temperature was still as cold as before, and he answered cautiously.

"Hmm, Lord Orochimaru! Shouldn't I be your first assistant in this experiment?" Anko Mitarai puffed up her face and angrily snorted to Orochimaru: "Look at me, look at me. …”

Orochimaru glanced at Mitarashi Anko with a subtle expression.

"It can be seen that in the past two years of staying in Kirigakure, Anko, your mind has become much more open-minded than before..."

"Hey~ Orochimaru-sama, I feel so embarrassed if you say that~"

Mitarai Anko was like a little girl who had been praised, proudly pushing out her breasts that could already be shaken. Looking at her action, Orochimaru's mouth twitched and turned around, fearing that he would be too helpless because of Anko. He was so carefree that he even forgot about his idiotic expression of his own style of doing things, and did something that would get him punched by Kaguya Rei.

"Okay, Uchiha Shisui, if the Fourth Mizukage asked you to come to see me, it should be a tacit consent for you to participate in the experiment. Take a test tube from the test tube rack over there and collect some of yours. Give me your blood, and then we can start the experiment."

"Why, why start with me?" Uchiha Shisui took a step back and instinctively looked at the blood collection test tubes marked "Hyuga Makoto" on the test tube rack, "In terms of experimental materials, Hasn’t Hinata Makoto’s blood been collected?”

"His body is too severely deficient and the quality of his blood is very poor. He needs to recover in the nutrient solution for a while... Moreover, I also have some things I just heard from Kaguya Rei that I want to verify."

Orochimaru summoned a psychic snake, took out a scroll with the word "Hatsu" written on it from its mouth, and said calmly.

Perfect attendance, still here...
