Chapter 221 Preparation

"No, no, no, isn't this the stipulation in the covenant? Orochimaru-san, and if you really want to talk about it, you are the biggest help to me, Orochimaru-san. In the future, I still need more from Orochimaru-san. Help, we are companions walking on the same path, aren’t we? Orochimaru-san!”

Menma smiled softly and said meaningfully.

After breaking away from Konoha and gaining freedom that might seem worthless or even foolish to others, but which Menma himself regarded as a treasure, Menma's heart gradually changed.

Especially now that with the progress of his own cultivation and various experimental research, he is constantly strengthening his own strength.

The ambition in Menma's heart also grew infinitely.

Revenge is the first and most fundamental goal.

But apart from that, stronger power, a higher level, and the 'temptation to go home' are the purest ambitions buried deep in Menma's heart.

Since he can come to this dimension, this world.

So can he go back?

The answer is not certain, but it is definitely not a 100% negative.

The purest bloodline and supreme power of the Otsutsuki clan is to be able to travel among the stars, and that is Menma's goal.

He is Menma Uzumaki, the young man from his previous life.

He cares a lot about people and things in this life, and he cares even more about things in the previous life.

Therefore, from this point of view, Orochimaru is really Menma's most suitable ally, especially Orochimaru's scientific research capabilities, which Menma needs most. Under the same conditions, Menma is absolutely impossible. Comparing scientific research capabilities to Orochimaru.

"That's right, this is the stipulation in the covenant!"

Orochimaru's pair of snake eyes seemed to have only a numb face at this moment.

It's not just because of the items and information Menma provides.

It was also because of what Menma just said.

Been together for so long.

Orochimaru didn't believe that Menma didn't know some of his plans and intentions, but he still said such words, which was enough to prove that this boy really had goals similar to his.

This gave Orochimaru a feeling of excitement that he had not seen in a long time.

There are many difficult things in the world.

But a confidant is the hardest to find.

Orochimaru still doesn't know whether Menma will be his soulmate, but this beginning is already far beyond everything.

at this moment.

In Orochimaru's heart.

The proportion of menma has risen to a higher level.

"Then, I will first congratulate Menma-kun on everything going well and his military fortunes are prosperous. If there is anything else needed in the future, Menma-kun can also ask for it. This is also part of the covenant."

Orochimaru said with a chuckle.

"Haha, each other, if you need anything, I really have a small favor that I need Orochimaru-san to help me with. I just don't know if Orochimaru-san can agree to it."

Menma said with a smile.

"Oh? Menma-kun can speak up."

"That's why I want someone from Orochimaru-san, and I hope Orochimaru-san can part with her."

Menma looked directly at Orochimaru and spoke softly.

Orochimaru couldn't help but be startled.

"one person?"

"Yes, it's just one person!"

Menma said again in a very determined tone.

The departing figure.

A faint breath left in the air.

Orochimaru sat on his main seat, looking at the place where Menma was sitting, who had already left long ago, with a hint of thought in his snake eyes.

"Lord Orochimaru, is it appropriate to let Menma Uzumaki take Suigetsu away like this?"

On one side, Kabuto Yakushi, who seemed to be hidden in shadows from beginning to end, and who had not spoken a word, stepped forward at this moment and spoke softly.

Ghost lamp and water moon!

This was the person Menma wanted to take away from Orochimaru in his request just now.

It's not that Kito Suigetsu is of great value. Menma values ​​Kito Suigetsu simply because among the group of people under Orochimaru, Suigetsu is the only one who has a certain name and a certain strength and is the opponent of Orochimaru. Maru only has awe, but no so-called loyalty.

To put it bluntly, in Orochimaru's powerful group, the only "brick" that Menma can pry away is Suigetsu.

As for whether Menma can truly capture Suigetsu for his own use, that depends on Menma's own methods.

It also depends on Shuiyue's own choice.

But now, Suigetsu was obviously 'gifted' to Menma directly by Orochimaru.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. The blood successors of the Oniden clan are just like that. They are not as meaningful as the corpse veins of the Kaguya clan. And you also know that Suigetsu guy, Kabuto. There is no problem at all in letting Suigetsu go. ”

Orochimaru smiled lightly and said nonchalantly.

Although Suigetsu's current combat power has surpassed most of the cannon fodder under Orochimaru, and the potential of the Oniden clan can give Suigetsu a higher upper limit in the future, that's it, the limit of blood succession is not too big Research value, Orochimaru is not loyal enough, Orochimaru naturally does not care about Suigetsu.

There was no hesitation in sending it out.

Almost immediately after the final shock.

Orochimaru immediately agreed.

Compared to what Menma sent, the value of this is not even on the same level, and Orochimaru also knows why Menma did this.

‘You really think highly of me, Menma-kun, haha, interesting, really interesting. . . ’

Orochimaru smiled lightly, and his eyes became extremely deep.

Although Kabuto Yakushi, who was sitting on the side, did not see what information Menma showed to his own Orochimaru in the scroll, it can be foreseen that it must be information of no less value than the Samsara Eye.

Only in this way can he really impress his own Lord Orochimaru.

"Kabuto, the experiment of the Samsara Eye should be advanced. Remember, this time we will directly use the Wood Release Cells for testing, and no other cells are needed. Also, send more personnel to keep an eye on Konoha and identify any Hyuga clan members who have left Konoha recently!"

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Kabuto Yakushi. The first part of the words he said was fine, as it was the focus of their experiment, and Kabuto Yakushi had already received it, but the second part of the words made Kabuto Yakushi look surprised.

Hyuga clan?

Is this Lord Orochimaru going to target the Byakugan?

But although the Byakugan is of high value, it should not be in Lord Orochimaru's plan, right?

However, despite his doubts, Kabuto Yakushi did not show them on the surface. Instead, he bowed and saluted, and replied with a respectful look: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru, I understand!"

Although the main family members of the Hyuga clan rarely leave Konoha, it does not mean that they never leave. The head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, once left the village to perform tasks when he was young. In the original work, Hyuga Hinata left the village several times. These are all examples.

Therefore, the main family members of the Hyuga clan are just difficult to capture. The difficulty is very high, but it is not completely impossible.

If Orochimaru is really determined to play the "tailing operation", there is a certain possibility that he can capture a main family member.

"Well, let's first capture a few people from the branch family. Remember, you must capture them alive. Do you understand!?"

Orochimaru paused, but still issued another order.

The Byakugan of the branch family is certainly limited by the limitations of the bird in the cage, but as long as the person is still alive, the eyes will not be automatically destroyed.

It still has a high research value.

At least for the current Orochimaru, it should be enough.

As for whether he really needs to get a pair of real Byakugan in the future, it depends on the results of the research.

"Yes! Lord Orochimaru!"

Different situations, different characters, and different choices will inevitably lead to different developments. As the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Menma has greatly changed the development of the original plot in the past few months since he defected from Konohagakure. Kakashi lost his Sharingan, Ohnoki reached a "special alliance" with Menma on behalf of Iwagakure Village, Menma joined Takigakure Village, and Orochimaru changed his personal research trajectory.

This has already made the ninja world step into a different future.

And in the future, Menma will inevitably bring more differences.

This is something that no one, including Menma himself, can predict. From this moment on, all the plots in the original work can no longer give Menma accurate predictions. All he can rely on is his own strength and judgment.

The only thing that can be considered as a prophet's plot advantage is the information about potential enemies in the open and in the dark.

Therefore.

Menma must also speed up his pace of becoming stronger.

For example!

Start by fully mastering the Nine-Tails' chakra.

And this is also the most important, most direct, and important personal strength enhancement that Menma has always been thinking about.

Other aspects of training cannot achieve immediate results.

Only the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Once it can be fully mastered, whether it is the Nine-Tails' chakra mode or the complete tailed beast transformation, Menma can be regarded as stepping into the level of super shadow.

Konoha 61, January 1.

Takigakure Village.

Outside the northern wilderness.

On the most remote open space, there is a slightly simple and large flat house. This is Menma's personal laboratory. According to Shibuki's intention, it should be built a little more perfect, but for Menma, as long as the facilities are complete, it is enough, and there is no need to care about the so-called gorgeous configuration outside.

It is worth mentioning that all the facilities and equipment needed here were paid for by Menma himself, without a penny from the village's finances, because the research here belongs to Menma alone, not for the village. Menma does not want to treat Takigakure Village as a blood-sucking bank, but wants to take root steadily.

Some basic details still need to be paid more attention to.

Whether it can be successfully mastered Takigakure Village is another matter, but at least Menma must work towards this goal.

In a room at the innermost side of the laboratory.

The special barrier and sealing techniques that are clearly controlled around are not the top in the ninja world, but it is impossible for ninjas below the level of Kage to break through easily.

At this moment, in this room, the figures of Menma and Karin also appeared in it.

Since returning from Orochimaru more than ten days ago.

Except for appearing on necessary occasions, Menma has always stayed in this laboratory. It is now the 61st year of Konoha, and it is only a little more than two years since the so-called Shippuden plot broke out in the original work, let alone Now that the plot has taken a turn, Menma has to consider whether some things will come early. Therefore, the sense of urgency in time is still very strong, and Menma must speed up the pace on certain things.

today.

it's here.

What Menma has to do is try to break the Bagua seal in his body.

"Are we going to do this experiment now? Menma, are you too hasty? We have just completed fifteen groups of comparison tests. Although it is supported by the data from Orochimaru, the human body and There are still huge differences between human bodies.”

Even though all the experimental preparations were complete, Xiang Rin still looked at Menma with some worry and said.

"Haha, there is no need to worry, Xianglin, the previous tests have already verified our conjectures, not to mention that this is based on Orochimaru-san's experiments. This bottle of cell activation fluid must be able to improve my I won’t mess with my cell activation ability and body strength. The worst result is that it won’t reach the expected value, so don’t worry too much.”

Menma smiled and shook his head and said warmly.

To break the Bagua sealing technique that binds the Nine-Tails chakra in his body, one requires Menma himself to have the corresponding ability in the sealing technique.

It can reach the level of breaking the spell.

After all, Menma didn't have a key, and the key was still with Jiraiya.

However, after Menma himself thought about it for a period of time, and then combined with the plot in the original work, especially the sealing knowledge learned from Orochimaru, he came up with a method that is not a solution. It is hard to say whether it will be successful, but it is worth trying. .

The other is that Menma needs to be able to withstand the full amount of the Nine-Tails chakra. Initially, he just needs to follow the steps. As time goes by, Menma is still the most suitable one for the Uzumaki clan, so he can definitely do it. Completely adapted to the Nine-Tails chakra.

But what Mianma lacks now is time.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

This bottle of special cell activation fluid can further stimulate Menma's own cell activation rate, strengthen various body functions, and improve the overall quality and strength of the body.

The reason why it could be researched in such a short period of time is because most of them were Orochimaru's research results. Menma and Korin just applied them and then transformed them into ingredients that could adapt to their own bloodlines.

The previous fifteen sets of comparison tests were just to test the corresponding values.

More testing should have been done.

But Menma decided that was enough.

If we continue to compare and test, we will only reduce the risk by one or two percentage points at most. In essence, there is no big difference.

This is indeed a bit too much of a gambler's taste.

But Menma had no choice. From the moment he decided to defect to Konoha, he could only keep pushing himself!
