Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The body of Kabuto Yakushi broke through the door and flew out.

A branch pierced through his body and hung him in the air, unable to land.

"......" There was silence for a while. The smile on Orochimaru's mouth disappeared. Instead, there was an unprecedented seriousness.

"Wood Release."

Yumi's Wood Release is not at the same level as Yamato's. A master of Orochimaru's level can easily feel it. The woman standing at the door of the house was surging with chakra that frightened him.

"It's incredible. You actually succeeded, Aoba-kun." At this time, Orochimaru didn't know that the Hashirama cells that Aoba asked for from him were used on this woman.

No, not just this woman. Orochimaru suddenly realized that Aoba had suddenly become so powerful, would it be possible?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes became heated. But then he realized another more direct problem. That is, he seemed to be in some danger tonight.

If it was Yamato's Wood Release, it would be meaningless to Orochimaru. He could easily solve it.

Again, it's not Wood Release that's strong, it's the first generation. Wood Release can only truly show its power, just like the first generation, when it's a map cannon. Otherwise, it's just an ordinary ninjutsu.

And now, Orochimaru is facing this threat. He has many means of escape. But if the opponent is desperate and directly uses a Wood Release Tree Realm Descend. Then all means will be in vain.

"Aoba-kun has been waiting for this day for a long time." Orochimaru naturally thought that this was a trap prepared for himself.

Tonight, he was originally sure of victory. Because he had already mastered a lot of information about Aoba in advance. He knew his attitude towards Karin and her daughter. Therefore, Kabuto Yakushi was sent out in advance to take advantage of Aoba's weakness.

It's not surprising that Orochimaru did this. This guy's behavior has no bottom line. For his own goals, he can be said to be the kind of person who will do anything.

"Whether you believe it or not. Lord Orochimaru, these are not used against you." Aoba motioned Yumi to throw Kabuto Yakushi over, and then he stepped on the opponent directly.

Wood escape penetration causes more than just damage. This ninjutsu will also absorb the opponent's chakra. Originally, as a top medical ninja, Kabuto Yakushi should be able to save himself. But after the chakra was sucked away, he has completely lost consciousness.

But Aoba did not kill him directly.

Mainly, he knew that Kabuto Yakushi was a very important assistant to Orochimaru. Aoba also needs Orochimaru, the first scientist in the ninja world. Continue to improve the ninjutsu of Impure World Reincarnation, Eight-Headed Technique, Corpse Reincarnation, and even Shikigami Fuujin.

Aoba's energy is limited. All his research focuses on making himself stronger.

Therefore, these auxiliary researches still have to be completed by Orochimaru. In summary, the ninja world needs Orochimaru. As his assistant, Kabuto Yakushi is also a bit of a destiny.

Orochimaru's face changed slightly several times after hearing this. Then he put down his hands.

Aoba deduced that what he had just prepared should be another plug-in in Naruto, the Impure World Reincarnation.

Facing Aoba and Yumi's super strong Wood Release. Orochimaru should only be able to deal with this trick at present. But Aoba didn't want to go to war with Orochimaru here.

"Since it was just a misunderstanding just now, Aoba-kun. Can we continue our transaction now?"

Orochimaru really doesn't have such a thing as face. Seeing that he couldn't beat him, he was ready to continue the transaction.

Aoba was not angry. He looked back at Yumi and the others. After confirming that he was not injured, he directly agreed to Orochimaru's transaction request.

"Then, my first request. I wonder if Aoba-kun can return Kabuto Yakushi to me."

Aoba glanced at Kabuto Yakushi under his feet. He was penetrated by Wood Release and his chakra was absorbed. He was already dying.

At this time, he was stepped on by Aoba. He could kill him with just a little effort. After hearing Orochimaru's request, he neither agreed nor objected. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Yumi behind him.

Yumi defeated him. Naturally, Yumi should make the decision.

Yumi understood what Aoba meant. After thinking for a while, she said.

"Aoba, you can make the decision." Aoba nodded. Then he turned back to look at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru.

"Okay, we have decided. We can trade. I wonder what Lord Orochimaru is going to use in exchange for the life of your right-hand man."

This trade was obviously not what Orochimaru expected at the beginning. So, he thought about it for a while. Then he threw out the other Kusanagi sword in his hand.

Aoba took the sword. Then he kicked Kabuto Yakushi in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru casually gave Kabuto Yakushi a soldier pill. As a medical ninja, as long as he has chakra, he can completely heal himself. If he can't heal, he can only blame himself for his incompetence.

In fact, Aoba was a little surprised that Orochimaru would take back Kabuto Yakushi. He thought the other party would let Kabuto Yakushi fend for himself.

"I'm glad to see that Aoba-kun is still so trustworthy. Then next, I need an intelligence. Aoba-kun, how did you successfully transplant Hashirama's cells?"

Aoba believes that Orochimaru should be prepared for both hands today. The first plan is to subdue Aoba directly and get all his secrets.

The second plan was to capture Karin and her daughter and force Aoba to surrender.

But now, he obviously changed his plan. When he saw Yumi's powerful Wood Release, he directly changed the content of the deal and wanted to transplant Hashirama's cells.

"I do have some means to increase the success rate of transplantation. But the most core factor is what Lord Orochimaru does not have. Even so, will Lord Orochimaru still make a deal?"

"Of course." Orochimaru continued the deal without hesitation. Just Aoba's words, "I have the ability to increase the success rate of transplantation", made Orochimaru unable to give up this deal.

You have to know that when he participated in the Hashirama cell transplantation experiment. There was no so-called success rate at all. It was purely trial and error using human lives.

And until the end, they did not succeed in finding the key point. In other words, the root experiment, until now, has no so-called success rate. It's not a question of how much the success rate is, but that there is no success rate at all.

A Yamato succeeded, but they don't know why it succeeded. All research on Hashirama's cells is a black box, and no rules can be found at all.

Those who succeed don't know why they succeed, and those who fail don't know why they fail.

But now, Qingye actually said that he can improve the success rate.
