Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 298 Undercurrent

Back in the underground laboratory, after Orochimaru sorted out the recent experimental data, he began to look through the information obtained from Sunagakure.

The three-day period has passed, and judging from the movements of the White Zetsu clones, the matter of Nagato devouring Ichibi has most likely come to an end. If operations continue to be carried out in large numbers, the probability of exposure will increase sharply.

In addition, Orochimaru's money is a little tight. The part of surgical materials allocated to the village has been exhausted. He can only barely guarantee that the number of light and dark surgeons will continue in the next few days. If he wants to perform large-scale operations,

We can only wait for the supply from the village or Sunagakure.

This period of time is a rare gap, just in time to prepare for future plans.

"Loulan..."

Orochimaru repeated a place name and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The last time we carried out gene fusion of White Jue cells, we did not choose the three holy places, and this time is no exception, even though the natural energy of Shigu Forest comes directly from the earth's veins.

There are not many places with huge natural energy in the ninja world, and it would be too troublesome to find them one by one, so Orochimaru is more inclined to accept the advice of the djinn.

Loulan is indeed a good place. Regardless of whether it is rich in natural energy or not, the people who control Loulan are very weak. Moreover, it is located in the desert in the west of the Kingdom of Wind. It is remote enough that no matter how loud the noise is, it will never happen.

What happened in Taki Ninja Village happens again.

It is conceivable that this first-generation cell transplant will be much more dangerous than the last time, and Orochimaru will never leave any flaws.

"strangeness……"

The Djinn poked his head out from behind and said in surprise, "This country still exists."

In the original time and space, after Jiraiya's death, Naruto took over the mission to hunt down the Sunagakure rebel ninja Hyakuzu. As a result, due to the natural energy riot, he accidentally traveled back in time and space more than ten years ago.

Naruto and Minato, who had not yet become Hokage at the time, wiped out the rebellious ninja, but Loulan should have died as the natural energy was sealed by Minato.

"Why do you say that?"

Orochimaru glanced at the Djinn and said, "Although it is only a small country, Loulan has been supporting it by relying on that oasis. I have also heard about this matter. Why do you think it does not exist?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this kind of place should have been destroyed by the wind and sand long ago."

The Djinn came to his senses at this time. Although Loulan was destroyed normally it would have happened a few years ago, but in reality, it was caused by Naruto hunting down the Sunagakure rebel ninja in the future.

Compared with the original time and space, the current ninja world has long been changed beyond recognition. It is not certain whether the traitorous ninja centipede or Loulan will exist in the future. Naturally, there will be no more time and space travel.

Since this is the case, there is no need to mention it to Orochimaru again.

Orochimaru did not pursue the matter further, just dismissed it as a casual mention by the Djinn God, and continued to concentrate on reading the information provided by Sunagakure.

Although Loulan today is called a country, its actual size is only a small town of two to three thousand people, and it is known as the "Pearl of the Desert".

It now belongs to the Kingdom of Wind in name, and even has to pay taxes and fees to Sunagakure Village.

In exchange, if the sand ninjas are in Loulan, they must abide by the laws here.

It's not like Shayin Village hasn't thought about swallowing this bead completely to make up for the increasingly insufficient funds, but the location of Loulan is too remote and is purely useless. Moreover, the Queen of Loulan has a time bomb.

"Dragon Vein is actually conscious."

Orochimaru frowned slightly. Judging from Sunagakure's information, the queens of Loulan throughout the ages had the ability to communicate and appease the dragon vein. If the blood relationship of that line was cut off, Loulan would even be in danger of being destroyed.

"It's just a hazy consciousness. It's hard to say whether it can even compare to that of a baby."

The Djinn God rubbed his chin, "I don't know how big the impact of your transplant operation will be. To be conservative, I'd better find a way to get the Queen of Loulan to cooperate with you."

The sacred tree of Taki Ninja Village, which was originally planned to be reused, was accidentally eaten by the 'Tail Eater', and the remaining disaster has not been solved to this day.

The target of this surgery has become a half-human, half-snake monster, and the transplant is still an uncertain first-generation cell transplant. Who knows what trouble will occur.

"But it is indeed difficult to get that Queen Loulan to cooperate sincerely."

Orochimaru agreed very much with the Djinn's view. He had to reach a deal with the Queen of Loulan with the intention of destroying Loulan.

Otherwise, if it really comes to that point, there is no guarantee that the other party will not fall out.

"You need to think about this carefully after this."

Orochimaru put down the intelligence information in his hand and closed his eyes slightly.

The matter in Loulan is a little more troublesome than in Longren Village. The natural energy in the dragon veins is not as stable as that in the holy tree, so it cannot be solved in a short time.

What matters right now is the Akatsuki organization.

If they can get through the next week safely, it's okay, otherwise they have to compete with Nagato while trying to reduce the casualties in the village.

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Tsk...what will you do?"

…

A few days later, in Yuyin Village, in the Black Tower Laboratory.

Shen Nong lifted a Jonin who had his hands and feet bound out of the light green culture fluid. He wiped a handful of mucus from his chest and stabbed the opponent's body directly with a scalpel, slashing downwards.

The originally normal flesh and blood showed a fibrous texture, but not even a trace of blood flowed out.

"Lord Payne, please look."

An excited smile appeared on Shennong's face, "This operation was successful."

Tiandao Pain's face was expressionless, while Bei Liuhu and Yakushi Kabuto on the side had different expressions. Their eyes couldn't help but turn to the big trees in the house that had an unusually obvious presence.

"It took five chunin and one jounin to get a successful example. What's there to be proud of?"

Xiao Nan had a cold face and asked mercilessly, "If we do another surgery, can you guarantee success?"

"Well, we still need to conduct several tests."

Shennong laughed and emphasized, "You two adults should understand the significance of the success rate breaking through from zero to one. As long as you continue, you will always reach a point where you are satisfied."

Shennong's attitude was respectful and his attitude was very low, but even when he reported unpleasant news, he felt confident.

This operation was developed by several people, and everyone shared the credit and fault. The reason why he was allowed to play this unpleasant role was because Huangquan was not important enough, but Beiliuhu was important enough.

Tiandao Payne glanced at the ninja who was recovering from his injuries and said slowly, "How long will it take to increase the success rate to the point where it can be practically applied?"

The so-called practical application is naturally not something like 50% to 60%. Even a desperado would not start a gamble randomly. The 50% probability of death must be increased to at least 80% or 90%.

Tendo Payne felt that his request was not too much. From the information he heard from the masked man, he knew that Orochimaru could guarantee a 100% probability, and there were no restrictions on jounin and chunin.

"I'm afraid there may be some difficulties in a short period of time."

Shen Nong knew what Payne was thinking. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "It is really not easy to achieve an 80% chance of this transplant operation. It is absolutely impossible to guarantee 100% success."

"Konoha's Orochimaru must have other hidden methods."

After hearing this, Tiandao Pain felt that it was reasonable, and turned his eyes to the white-haired young man aside.

Yakushi Kabuto gently raised his glasses and said with a smile, "I have sorted out all the information I obtained before, but I didn't hide any secrets."

If nothing else, just looking at the successful case in front of you can prove that what he said is true.

"I don't mean to say that Lord Yakushi Kabuto is hiding something, it's just..."

Shennong's kind-hearted old man's face suddenly became solemn, "That is Orochimaru after all. Who knows how many abilities he has hidden..."

He praised Orochimaru like a barrage of fire, with only one core idea: it's not that we are too useless, but that the other party is too powerful.

Not to mention, with Shen Nong's appearance, even in the era of the Djinn God, he could still be an "expert". What he said made people trust him.

Tendo Payne already had a filter for Orochimaru, but at this time, he actually somewhat believed in Shennong's deliberate flattery.

But when Biliuhu heard these words, they were too flattering, and he snorted dissatisfiedly.

But that's all. Bei Liuhu knew very well that if he said something disparaging, he would inevitably get a response of "you go ahead."

And he has self-awareness, and he really cannot reach the level of Orochimaru.

Kabuto Yakushi looked at this scene, but he sneered secretly in his heart. If this period of time had gone according to the original plan, at least half of the ninjas who had become big trees would have been reduced today.

A three-day vacancy was fatal to this newly established scientific research team.

Who knows what agreement these three people reached secretly, but the current efficiency is twice as low as it was at the beginning.

After all, they are all smart people, and three days is enough to find loopholes in the rules.

"I didn't want to use this method..."

Pharmacist Kabuto sighed slightly and said with a smile, "Sir Shen Nong said that the success rate of this operation is far from improving, but in fact I have a way."

He took out a document from his arms and handed it to three researchers.

Shennong, Huang Quan, and Bei Liuhu each took it and glanced through it, and their expressions changed.

Bei Liuhu even asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

In the document, the entire body-strengthening surgery is broken down into multiple steps, and different people are assigned to study them.

Reasonable division of labor and specialization of respective abilities will naturally be of great benefit to the experiment itself, but on the other hand, if it is limited to a certain aspect and does not give the opportunity to have an overview of the overall situation, then it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a screw.

This is obviously not in line with the interests of the three people present. What they think is that they have gained enough knowledge through this investment by the Xiao organization, but what is the use of just fragmented puzzle pieces?

"There is nothing you can do. I gave you the opportunity but failed to seize it. How can you blame me?"

Kabuto Yakushi turned his attention to Tiandao Pain, "As long as you cooperate with me, I am sure to increase the success rate to 80% within ten days."

"Why didn't you do this in the first place?"

Kabuto Pain didn't have any objections to this. He didn't care about these people's selfish desires and even disliked Kabuto Yakushi for saying it too late.

"You can't blame me for this."

Kabuto Yakushi shrugged, "After all, this method is likely to discourage them and have negative effects."

"But now, they are doing it themselves. If they had carried out the process step by step, they would have made more progress than this."

Kabuto Yakushi knew that smart people had countless reasons, so he did not analyze them point by point for slacking off. He only said that since the research results did not meet expectations, then don't blame him for changing the method.

"Those who do not want to continue to participate in the study can also choose to withdraw."

Kabuto Yakushi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the three people in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"You..." Bei Liuhu glared angrily, but did not dare to say the word 'no'. The same was true for Shennong and Huang Quan next to him.

After all, Tiandao Payne is watching here. How can he be an easy person to deal with? If he tries to move forward, he will most likely lose his life in the next moment.

And if you are passive and sabotage, there is no guarantee that the other party will not take the initiative to replace them, not to mention that doing so is not in their interests.

That's right, Yakushi Kabuto is confident.

The successful development of the 'Physique Strengthening Surgery' is the plan set by Lord Orochimaru. How can we let these guys who harm the public and private interests ruin it?

"Since I don't have any objections, it's settled."

Kabuto Yakushi deliberately waited for a moment, admiring the darkening expressions of the three of them, and turned to Payne, "Leave this matter to me."

"very good."

Tiandao Pain nodded slightly, and suddenly raised a hand towards the ground. The jounin who had completed the transplant operation was immediately pinched by the neck.

Click, click, click...

As the palms of his hands tightened, the wooden jounin's face turned red from suffocation.

"It seems that just because the healing ability is stronger, it is not impossible to die."

Tendo Payne let go of his hand, threw the wooden ninja to the ground, and let the other person take a big breath. He glanced at the other three people and disappeared.

The faces of all the ninjas present changed slightly, knowing that this was a warning.

Except for Huang Quan, all masters who are considered to be in the upper echelons of the jounin world are very aware of the weight of the move just now.

"It seems our boss is a little angry."

Kabuto Yakushi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Everyone should work harder recently and don't make everyone look bad."

…

Returning to the upper level of the black spire, Tiandao Payne came to Xiaonan, "Contact Kakuzu, Wuwei and others, and raid Konoha in three days."

"So sudden?"

Konan's face changed slightly, and she was startled. She quickly said, "There are Orochimaru, Tsunade and others in the village. They used to just die."

Xiao Nan didn't pity their lives, but felt that this would not achieve the effect at all.

"So, I will go there in three days."

Tiandao Payne said, and added, "This time, I will let the main body take action."

Konan looked worried, "Nagato, do you want to reconsider this matter? Orochimaru's perception ability is a bit strange. If you go there, there will be a lot of risk."

"worth."

Tendou Pain said slowly, "Right now, Yakushi Kabuto and the others still need some time to develop a suitable surgery. However, Orochimaru is here in Konoha and has already seized a lot of opportunities. They cannot continue so safely."

For this reason, Nagato could no longer care about the fear of other ninja villages.
