Chapter 198 Intermission, Dragon Island.

When I opened my eyes again,

Uchiha Ci saw the familiar ceiling again,

Although there was this familiar feeling, it was as if two bricks had been stuffed into his head, and his thoughts were running at an excruciatingly slow speed, accompanied by a feeling that he couldn't help but pull his eyes down. Tingling.

So much so that Uchiha Ci couldn't remember where this place was for a while.

Until I saw a familiar, handsome, pale face approaching,

This man has purple eye shadow and a pair of golden snake eyes, and a pair of crystal clear sapphire earrings hanging from his earlobes.

At this time, she looked at him so indifferently and said nothing.

"Orochimaru-sensei?"

Uchiha asked hesitantly,

"I'm hissing!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a pain that almost exploded suddenly rose from his eyes, causing Uchiha to curl up, cover his eyes and howl miserably.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The pain was so severe, it was as if ten iron drills were stuffed into the toenails, and then the foot was kicked against the wall. The ten drills penetrated the bones, making one's life worse than death!

The pain was so painful that Uchiha subconsciously wanted to dig out his eyes, cut open his stomach, and eradicate the source of his alienation and pain!

But at this time,

Uchiha Cicai discovered that he was wearing a special sealing technique wristband on his wrists.

The 'Chakra scalpel' constantly stimulated in the wrist guard accurately cut off the nerves in his hands, making his impulsive movements unsustainable.

But Orochimaru, who was standing beside the hospital bed, frowned, raised his hand and took out a scroll, picked up a brush to write on it, and murmured hoarsely,

"Morning, eight twelve,"

"There are no signs of dragon transformation, nor does he bite anyone as soon as he opens his eyes."

"The rejection reoccurred, but the intensity has subsided."

"The four elephant seals engraved on the eyes are effective, and the interior of the Bagua seal is not agitated to reveal the rampaging tailed beast chakra."

"Using Hashirama cells to cultivate this growth period after Zero Tail,"

"It seems that it will take some time for him to adapt."

After Orochimaru finished recording, he suddenly felt something and turned his head expressionlessly.

The blond woman wearing a green gambling robe came up behind her and asked hoarsely,

"Tsunade, how is the research progress on the 'Xingxin Pill'?"

There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone that he had not closed his eyes for three days, and Tsunade walked over with a tired look on her face.

Standing next to Orochimaru,

Tsunade looked at the young man screaming on the hospital bed with an ugly expression, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice:

"Orochimaru, you actually did this for this child."

"I already know everything from Jiraiya. You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me!"

"Why didn't you say something like this earlier? As teammates, do you think we would stand by and watch your disciples?"

"This kid is not a madman seeking power, and neither are you."

Orochimaru's eyes were cold, staring at her calmly and indifferently,

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, since you agreed to this deal."

"Just fulfill it!"

"You develop the 'Xingxin Pill' for me, and I will help you resurrect the rope tree and Kato Dan."

Tsunade shook her head, sighed suddenly, took out a small purple medicine bottle from her arms, raised her hand and threw it to Orochimaru.

When she, Jiraiya and Orochimaru followed the Sandaime to the Death Forest,

have witnessed,

They were Uchiha Ci who had his arms broken off, Minato Namikaze who was dying with a large hole in his abdomen, and Kushina who was wearing a light red tailed beast coat, revealing four tails.

At the last moment, the three defeated Kyuubi in the spiritual world and obtained a share of chakra from it that Kushina could use freely, allowing her to activate a new Tailed Beast Jinchuriki mode.

It is precisely because of this that

Kushina has been using this chakra to continue to pass it on to the two of them, so as to maintain the lives of the two brothers who were on the verge of death and seriously injured.

The two were quickly taken away for treatment.

But what made Orochimaru almost collapse like when she saw her brother and lover die tragically,

Uchiha Ci didn't know what kind of price he had to pay, but he actually touched the 'dead line' that maintained his life.

If it weren't for various coincidences and how quickly they came,

Uchiha Ci might really die there.

Tsunade had never seen Orochimaru show such an expression.

The kind of person who clearly cares, but pretends to be ruthless, cleans up the mess, and states the reasons for sending Uchiha to the battlefield at a high-level meeting.

Saying things like,

‘He doesn’t have much time left, and we have a complete recycling mechanism in place’,

'Rather than letting him die of illness in the village, it is better to let him devote his last effort to Konoha',

'After all, you have also seen that Uchiha Ci has more power than the Nine-Tails, even if it is paid for with his life.'

Orochimaru's analysis of the entire Third Ninja War situation and the necessity of dispatching personnel from all parties finally made the Nara clan's staff speechless, leaving the Sandaime to silently agree to his proposal.

But Tsunade could feel that Orochimaru was hiding under this cold appearance.

It was repressed, and he valued his disciple so much that he was crazy at all costs.

Because of this, Orochimaru found her and proposed a deal that she couldn't refuse.

"."

Orochimaru took the purple vial, opened the seal, and poured out a black pill that exuded a pungent smell.

Then, he raised his hand and waved, and seven or eight big snakes shot out from his sleeves, tightly binding Uchiha Ci on the hospital bed.

Pinch his jaw open and force him to take the 'Xingxin Pill'.

After taking the Xingxin Pill, Uchiha Ci's eyelids soon began to fight and he fell into a deep sleep.

Xingxin pill,

It was not until Sasuke's boyhood in the future that Orochimaru developed a key drug that could help the owner of the curse seal overcome the side effects of the curse seal and cross over from the first stage of the curse seal to the second stage of the curse seal.

At this period, Orochimaru had not yet been developed. This kind of drug required extremely advanced medical skills and pharmacology to develop, so he had no choice but to ask Tsunade for help.

This also made this drug appear in the ninja world more than ten years ahead of schedule.

"Orochimaru, I must remind you that with the magical power contained in this brat, even the Xingxin Pill cannot completely suppress its side effects."

Tsunade looked at the sleeping Uchiha Ci and said silently.

Orochimaru didn't look back, he just raised his hand and pressed it on the Heavenly Curse Seal, carefully checking the disciple's physical condition.

Of course he knows this kind of thing.

This pure immortal mode of Longdi Cave is not so easy to master, even if it is just this inferior version that has been weakened by the curse seal,

The closer you get to the 'dragon', the more dangerous it becomes!

And Orochimaru's current technology is far from enough to allow him to fully analyze this power.

but,

Orochimaru suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked up at Tsunade, and asked quietly:

"Tsunade, don't you think this mode is very similar to the relationship between tailed beasts and jinchūriki? Is it possible for him to master the power of this immortal like he masters the perfect jinchūriki mode?"

Tsunade frowned slightly, then nodded after thinking,

"Yes, but if you want to practice the perfect Jinchuuriki mode, you need..."

Orochimaru straightened up and licked his lips slightly.

He stood in the hospital of Konoha Village,

Look out the window, look to the north, look to the country of clouds and thunder behind the Hell Valley!

A hint of greed flashed in the golden snake eyes!

Orochimaru quickly showed a sneer,

"What we need is Kumogakure's Dragon Island!"

"On that island, there is a strange place called the 'Real Waterfall', where you can gain insight into the inner truth!"

Tsunade raised her head in shock and looked at Orochimaru.

"What do you want to do?"

Orochimaru smiled faintly, unfolded the map of the ninja world in his mind, and fixed his gaze on Hell Valley.
