Chapter 345 Orochimaru's Ambition

Especially this kind of internal government affairs.

If it can be handled by peaceful means that comply with the rules, then we must adopt corresponding methods, and we cannot really just act randomly based on personal wishes.

Fear is brought to the enemy.

Pure violent rule is an option that Menma must resist 100%.

Combining soft and hard skills is one of the most basic qualities that a qualified or even outstanding leader should possess.

As the person who knows Menma's intentions best, Xianglin naturally knows what he should do.

Following from that.

When Xianglin wanted to say something again.

Suddenly.

Menma and Xiang Rin were both moved by the arrival of a special and powerful chakra aura that they could clearly perceive.

"Are you actually here at this time? You are really a rare visitor. Forget it, go ahead and deal with the things you just explained, Xianglin."

Menma raised his eyebrows slightly, and after murmuring the first half of the sentence in a low voice, he turned to look at Xiang Rin and explained.

"Ah, I know, Menma."

After Xianglin nodded seriously again, he turned around and strode away.

"untie!"

And it was also at the same time that Xianglin left.

Menma's one-hand seal is a technique that temporarily removes the barrier.

Put aside the research work at hand for now.

Stepping to a bright room above the laboratory, Yumenma had just made a pot of tea.

That was already the slightly cold breath that came to the closer position.

"It's quite a rare visitor to come at this time, Orochimaru-san."

Menma calmly sat on the tea chair on the left, slowly poured two cups of tea, and smiled lightly at the words.

"Whoosh!"

next moment.

Right opposite Menma's tea chair.

A slender and thin figure appeared there.

The familiar sickly white skin, as well as those extremely demonic snake eyes, the person coming was none other than Menma's most important 'companion' - Orochimaru.

"I originally thought that I had a little gain recently, and I could hide it from Menma-kun's detection. Unexpectedly, the Uzumaki clan's Kagura's inner eye is really strong, and he can capture my chakra almost instantly."

Orochimaru still had the same gloomy look, looking at Menma with cold eyes, and said in that familiar hoarse tone.

But beneath the seemingly calm appearance, the ray of fear deep in the snake's eyes was obviously much stronger.

You must know that during this period of time, Orochimaru has been studying the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

Especially after obtaining Menma's own blood and Kyuubi's chakra from Menma, Orochimaru's research progress has been greatly improved. It's not that Orochimaru thinks that he can 100% avoid Menma. Damn exploration.

He himself knew that it was almost impossible.

The more he studies the Uzumaki clan's lineage.

The more Orochimaru can understand the horror of the Uzumaki clan, the physical strength and vitality alone are beyond the scope of ordinary ninjas. Orochimaru has studied it for so many years.

The only one who can suppress the most orthodox and powerful Uzumaki clan in terms of vitality and physical strength is the first Hokage.

It’s no wonder that the Uzumaki clan is the most suitable container to seal the tailed beasts, and Kagura’s Heart’s Eye, the blood secret technique passed down from generation to generation by the Uzumaki clan, is also the most unsolvable of the sensory ninjutsu that Orochimaru knows. .

In addition, Menma himself is still the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

Orochimaru never expected to say that he could perfectly avoid Menma's lock, but he must at least make some progress, right? At least being a little further away can confuse the perception of hemp, right?

But the ‘confrontation’ just now.

It still made Orochimaru clearly realize that his whereabouts were within the range of others' perception, and there was almost no secret at all.

As long as it enters a fixed range, there is really nothing to hide from.

Menma's own strength is already ridiculously strong, and now he still has such precise and large-scale detection capabilities.

And learned the art of Flying Thunder God.

In this world, no one can truly ambush Menma to death.

At least that's the case within Orochimaru's current cognitive scope.

"Haha, Orochimaru-san deserves the prize. We, the Uzumaki clan, only have so much ability."

Menma smiled softly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.

"But why does Orochimaru-san have time to visit now? Shouldn't he be in the laboratory at this time? Is there something wrong with Byakugan's research?"

Orochimaru will take action against the members of the Hyuga clan.

This was something Menma had expected.

Even though Menma seemed to be using Menma all the time, Menma actually gave out key and precious information.

This is information that Orochimaru in the original work may not be able to obtain until the finale.

So strictly speaking, Menma is not a free hand.

At least Orochimaru himself is happy, isn't he?

Could it be that Orochimaru still couldn't see Menma's intentions? But why is Orochimaru still so happy? The reason is simple. Menma did give him what he wanted, so why not be used by Menma once or twice?

Not to mention much, just the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, the secret of the Rinnegan, and the evolution of the Byakugan were enough to drive Orochimaru crazy.

He was considered to be the wrong path in the past.

Now that he has seen the real dawn, the dawn that can glimpse the height of that person, how can Orochimaru not be excited! ?

That's why so far.

The relationship between Menma and Orochimaru will be so 'harmonious', they really need each other.

Sometimes Menma is worried about whether he will use Orochimaru too much. Until his plan is fully realized or most of the basic goals are achieved, Orochimaru must not have any problems. The same is true for Orochimaru. It's a similar view.

He believed that there was something about Menma that he had never learned about.

And it’s definitely not just a little bit, it’s definitely a lot, a lot!

"Haha, the research has just begun, so there is no problem. They are the two people who need to be found according to Menma. Oh, no, it should be one person and one beast. There is already clear information, but I just don't know. When Menma plans to take action, I can arrange for Menma-kun to take action together."

Of course Byakugan's research requires Menma's assistance.

In the information about the Byakugan evolution that Menma gave before.

Only the issue of purity was discussed.

The most critical issue of evolution was mentioned briefly by Menma. Although Orochimaru was confident that he could find the real path through his own research, if there was a shortcut, why not take it? It's just that this topic can't be spoken out very straightforwardly.

Trading requires chips!

And the person and the beast that Orochimaru proposed now were the most important trading chips.

The moment Menma heard it, he was first overjoyed, and then he clearly realized something. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Orochimaru with a half-smile and said, "This is obviously a message that can be conveyed by Tousou, Orochimaru." Maru-san wants to go there in person, which is really troublesome for Orochimaru-san."

Too much intrigue with these old foxes.

Menma had already subconsciously been more careful, but even so, Menma didn't feel that he could really outwit these guys.

In terms of life experience, they are really far ahead of me. I absolutely cannot compete with these old guys for their scheming.

Otherwise, you won’t know when you fell into the ditch.

therefore.

"Tell me, Orochimaru-san, what do you want?"

Menma also asked directly and honestly after a slight pause.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Orochimaru came all the way here because he definitely had his intentions, and Menma didn't resent this. It should even be said that apart from his current companions, Menma's favorite thing was to get along with Orochimaru.

Because they are really ‘sincere’ and ‘direct’.

I won't do any other messy things.

"Haha, since Menma-kun said so, let me be blunt. What I want to know is the real key to the next evolution of the Byakugan. Is it to be fused like the Sharingan, to undergo a qualitative change in pupil power, or to Speaking of genetic recombination, that is, the so-called purification of pupil power, and what level will the Byakugan reach after evolution? Is it the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? Or is it the Rinnegan? Jun, don’t tell me, you don’t know, I believe you must know all this!”

Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, looked at Menma meaningfully, and spoke word by word.

When Menma heard the first half of the sentence, he was already mentally organizing his words to prepare an answer. Orochimaru's question did not exceed Menma's initial expectations, but the last sentence made Menma pause for a moment. .

"Hoho, Orochimaru-san values ​​me so much? Do you really think I know everything? Or is Orochimaru-san even curious about my identity?"

Menma asked with his eyes slightly lowered, looking directly at Orochimaru.

This dangerous aura was released slowly and inadvertently.

Even Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly subconsciously. In terms of strength, Menma can indeed easily suppress Orochimaru. Orochimaru himself knows this very well. If he really fights to the end, Menma will be able to suppress Orochimaru easily. There is a high probability that Ma can kill himself.

But Orochimaru was not afraid.

Because he knew very well that Menma needed him, at least until their main intentions were realized, they would not fall out.

In addition, taking a step back, even if Orochimaru's prediction was wrong, Menma would have made a clean move, and Orochimaru would not be worried, as he still had backup options.

die?

Sorry, in today's ninja world, Orochimaru is indeed not ranked among the top few in terms of strength, but in terms of life-saving means, he is definitely a unique existence.

The art of curse seal.

This is Orochimaru's biggest life-saving method.

Don't say that there is no conflict of interest at all now. Even if there will be one later, as long as it is not a life and death fight, Menma is not very interested in taking action against Orochimaru, including Sasuke's issue. Menma hopes that he can. Use other methods to solve it.

"Haha, Menma-kun is overthinking. I don't care about Menma-kun's identity at all. I only care about what I want to see. If Menma-kun is willing to tell me, that would naturally be the best. , If I don’t want to, how can I force myself to face Ma-kun?”

Orochimaru spread his hands and said nonchalantly.

"Haha, Orochimaru-san is still the same. Don't worry. I had planned to tell Orochimaru-san about the Byakugan. This is the follow-up research content about Byakugan. Of course, this is just my personal guess. Whether it can succeed depends on Orochimaru-san. As for the Byakugan after evolution, well, maybe it can be comparable to the Samsara Eye, who knows?"

Menma smiled noncommittally, then took out a scroll that had been prepared long ago from his arms and threw it directly to Orochimaru on the opposite side, saying meaningfully.

In order to deal with Orochimaru.

Menma really made full preparations, and in all aspects.

This is his own "Top Ten Employees".

If you want people to work, you must prepare corresponding benefits. In this regard, Menma really never fooled Orochimaru once. The Byakugan evolved into the Samsara Eye, which is not clearly stated in the original book.

The evolution of the Sharingan is explained clearly in the original book.

But the evolution of the Byakugan.

At that stage, the only references were Otsutsuki Toneri and half of the giant Samsara Eye.

The former probably evolved from the Samsara Eye after combining the pure bloodline of Hinata Hanabi's pair of Byakugan, which was from a different branch but also had high purity.

The latter was simply a giant Samsara Eye artificially created after combining hundreds of pairs of Byakugan from the branch families.

Therefore, some research content on the Samsara Eye can only be based on these three Samsara Eyes.

Most of the content recorded by Menma in the scroll is these three Samsara Eyes and the content Menma deduced from these three Samsara Eyes.

Even the 'Pure Eye', which seems to be the same origin as the Byakugan but has a very different eye technique, was mentioned by Menma.

Menma himself has not experimented with it himself. One reason is that he does not have so much material, and the other is that Menma really does not have the time to do these related research now.

What Orochimaru can do depends on Orochimaru himself.

Byakugan!

Sharingan!

And the Sage Body.

Menma has already told Orochimaru as much information as he can in advance. This is a completely different development from the original work. On this basis, Menma is really curious about how far Orochimaru can research.

Can Orochimaru in this life really break free from his shackles with these things and evolve to a new level?

From the bottom of his heart, Menma really looks forward to such a development, because Orochimaru is really different from others.

He has characteristics that no one else in the ninja world has.

Madness is just one of the synonyms.

Menma doesn't mind helping Orochimaru more, because that is also helping himself.
