Chapter 740 Kimimaro

On the vast wasteland, countless determined and exhausted figures fell.

The spectacular scene is so dazzling that it seems to have no end.

These brave warriors are dressed in uniform battle robes and wear the same ninja forehead protectors, all of which reveal their identity - Iwagakure Ninja!

Among the many fallen ninjas, there was a young man in white sitting alone on a high place.

His face looked more stable than his actual age, and his deep green eyes emitted a cold light, as if the air around him was frozen. It made people feel close to him, but they couldn't help but shiver.

"So, the ninjas of Iwagakure are limited to this?"

Kimimaro looked around the entire arena with an arrogant look that looked down upon the world, and found that except for him, all the Iwagakure ninjas on the battlefield had fallen, and no one could withstand his attack.

Seeing this scene, Dou on the side raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint and disdainful sneer.

Apart from Orochimaru himself and the mysterious Jūgo, the only ninja in Otogakure who shines in the Otogakure is this young man.

But it's just barely worthy of the eye.

"Corpse Bone Vein... No wonder the master wanted to bring him to his side to cultivate him personally. It's a pity that his physique is a little weak..."

Although this victory was not easy, and even the power of the curse seal was used, the explosive ninja from Iwagakure was unable to leave any trace on him.

In Kabuto's eyes, if there were an enemy attack, these ninjas would probably be completely defeated by Kimimaro in just one encounter.

Whether in attack or defense, the Shikotsu Kame is undoubtedly the top bloodline limit in the ninja world.

Suddenly, applause came from afar.

A figure walked slowly from outside the venue. It was Orochimaru who had just finished an operation.

While clapping, he looked at Kimimaro with admiration and exclaimed: "You are truly the inheritor of Kaguya's bloodline, Kimimaro."

Kabuto's expression remained unchanged, and he thought to himself, even... surpassing me as a medical ninja.

He made good use of strategies and the environment, and was indeed able to eliminate several Iwagakure, but he was definitely not like Kimimaro, who destroyed their formation head-on alone.

"They are just a few ordinary jonin." Kimimaro's expression was still cold, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "They are nothing to me."

"Indeed, with your current strength, you are indeed very strong. After all, you have been here with Lord Orochimaru for a year, and Lord Orochimaru has invested a lot of effort in you."

Dou gently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and showed his usual gentle smile.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru, for giving me the Heaven's Curse Seal. Otherwise, my strength would not have been able to improve so quickly."

Kimimaro replied with a smile, his tone full of respect.

This made Kabuto deeply worried. If Kimimaro continued to grow so quickly, his strength would soon reach a new peak, and then... die!

"So, you want to test my strength yourself?"

The originally clear and bright eyes instantly turned into blazing green eyes that sparkled.

Kimimaro's eyes were fixed on Kabuto, his expression firm and confident.

If he were to face off against Kabuto, Orochimaru's first assistant, he thought it would be more challenging than fighting these Iwagakure jonin.

He wanted to know how powerful Kabuto's true strength was, so that he could be more "favored" by Lord Orochimaru!

"After the fierce battle just now, you seem to have consumed a lot of chakra. Forget it. After all, I am just a medical ninja..."

Dou smiled and pushed up his glasses, not revealing any desire to fight.

He found it quite amusing to see the strong fighting spirit emerging from Kimimaro.

I am just an ordinary medical ninja, why do you want to compete with me? Is it just because of jealousy?

What a troublesome child.

After Kabuto's explanation, Kimimaro frowned slightly and said nothing more.

Kabuto finally breathed a sigh of relief. "The Kaguya clan are indeed all battle maniacs!"

While Kimimaro was practicing on his own, Kabuto started chatting with Orochimaru.

"So, Jūgo has already mastered the immortal technique?"

"How can it be so fast? Lord Orochimaru, you are too impatient. In fact, Jūgo has not mastered the senjutsu."

Dou responded with a smile that was full of helplessness.

"Senjutsu is not an easy task. According to the information collected by Lord Orochimaru, just being able to control natural energy does not mean that one can control Senjutsu. Senjutsu has extremely high requirements for the ninja's chakra control, willpower, spiritual realm, and chakra reserves. The chakra reserve alone has discouraged countless people and made them lose the qualifications to practice Senjutsu."

Kabuto explained bitterly.

Even though he had managed to reach the threshold for practicing immortal arts with his own chakra reserves...he often failed in practice.

Kabuto shook his head again.

"No, just the fact that he can absorb natural energy alone is enough to make Jūgo surpass most ninjas. And Jūgo's situation is quite special... I believe he will grow stronger in the future."

"The experimental subjects are everywhere, and I can easily obtain a large amount of materials in the Rain Country. So what is Kimimaro's current condition? Is there any cure for the blood disease?"

Orochimaru's focus has always been on this issue.

Ever since he chose to embark on this road full of unknowns and dangers, he no longer had any awe for the vague concept of "life".

Orochimaru simply found it ridiculous that Kabuto had such subtle sympathy for Kimimaro.

In this cruel real world, those who are too kind often find it difficult to survive. They are always easily manipulated by others and finally ruthlessly abandoned.

"It would be great if Kimimaro didn't have the blood disease."

Perhaps it was because he already had better works that he began to feel a little tired of the once highly anticipated Chougo.

Kabuto replied with a serious expression:

"There is no sign of improvement at the moment. Instead, it has become more serious with the use of bloodline limits."

"Oh? It sounds like I won't be seeing him in the future."

Orochimaru laughed, and the long tongue in his mouth kept extending and retracting, as if he was expressing his emotion.

"indeed so."

Kabuto followed Orochimaru's point of view.

"His growth rate has exceeded my initial expectations. His talent is comparable to Itachi. But unfortunately, God does not allow such a genius to appear."

Orochimaru felt a little sorry about this.

"If he could become my body, perhaps things would be different." Orochimaru was so sure.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you mean to say that you are still planning to consider him as a candidate for the first container?"

Kabuto became curious.

"Who knows about this kind of thing?"

Orochimaru did not respond directly, not wanting to tell Kabuto what was in his heart. Then, he waved his hand in a disinterested manner.

"Okay, these few days, you continue to watch him practice the Heavenly Curse Seal."

"Yes."
