They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 1 Oh no, I've become Orochimaru?!

The Land of Fire, Konoha
In a very unremarkable house

A pale-skinned boy with long, straight black hair, snake-like eyes, and purple eyeshadow stared blankly at his reflection in the mirror.

After a long while, Orochimaru finally came to his senses, made a few funny faces, and stuck out his tongue as usual.

His reflection in the mirror also made the corresponding movements, which forced him to accept the fact that he had traveled through time.

But... why Orochimaru? And specifically, his childhood form...?

Recalling the content of the original Naruto manga, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh.

Is Orochimaru awesome? Absolutely awesome. He has no special bloodline, no strange eyes, and survives to the end solely through his extreme survival skills.

The Third Hokage's Reaper Death Seal couldn't kill him, Sasuke couldn't kill him, and Itachi Uchiha's Totsuka Blade couldn't kill him either. Even after death, he could be resurrected with a cursed seal. In Boruto, he even seems to be getting younger and younger, showing signs of rejuvenation.

But the only problem is... Orochimaru's methods all rely on scientific research and human experimentation.

Although he was a scientist in his previous life, he studied physics, which has nothing to do with biotechnology...

Forget it... let's start learning from the beginning...

Furthermore... ninjutsu... bloodstains... chakra...

This world is really interesting...

After a long while, Orochimaru exhaled, recalling the anomalies of this world, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He enjoys the feeling of turning the unknown into the known step by step, which is why he chose physics as his major in his previous life.

For him, nothing was more exciting than an unknown world...

"However... this world is quite dangerous..."

Thinking about the world of Naruto, Orochimaru felt a headache coming on.

The world of Naruto is constantly embroiled in war; let alone research, simply surviving is no easy feat.

The only good news is that, according to his predecessor's memories, he has already graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Just like in the original story, he was assigned to the team of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Tsunade and Jiraiya.

This was naturally good news for him, since who knows how these three managed to form a team in the original Naruto manga.

If you don't have connections spanning three generations, you're doomed...

But... do ninja academies nowadays graduate at the age of six?

Thinking about his age, Orochimaru couldn't help but complain.

Six years old! He's only six years old!!
In my past life, I was at an age when even buying soy sauce was a struggle, but in this world, I'm already on the battlefield killing people!

Although Naruto's era, which is decades later, is also quite absurd, he was still twelve years old at least!
Forget it~
Orochimaru shook his head. Since he couldn't change the world for the time being, he could only adapt to it.

Then he closed his eyes and began to refine chakra according to the method in his predecessor's memories.

Although it was his first time trying, the process of refining chakra was easier than he had expected. Before long, he felt a warm current flowing through his meridians and finally converging in his dantian.

"Huh? My chakra level has increased?!"

Sensing his own chakra, Orochimaru noticed something different from what he remembered: his current chakra level was about 50% higher than it had been in his memory.

This quantity can no longer be explained by error...

Is it because I traveled through time?

Orochimaru murmured, "According to the Naruto setting, chakra is a product of the mixture of spiritual energy and life energy within cells."

Did he absorb Orochimaru's memories as a child because of his time travel, which increased his spiritual energy and thus affected his chakra level?
That's really... interesting!

Orochimaru couldn't help but get excited when he first came into contact with chakra.

Then, based on his memory, he began practicing ninjutsu in the room.

Because he comes from a commoner background, all he knows right now is the most basic Three Body Techniques taught at the Ninja Academy.

He naturally didn't know any of the family's secret techniques or blood-stained ninjutsu...

In the original work, Orochimaru mostly learned his snake-style ninjutsu at the entrance of Ryuchi Cave...

However, this was enough for him, who was experiencing ninjutsu for the first time.

Of the three body techniques, he was most interested in the transformation technique.

After all, this ninjutsu is far more outrageous than the other two in the original work; it can not only change the body but also the gender.

It can even transform into animals and ninja tools... That's outrageous!
Thinking this, Orochimaru tried to form hand seals to guide the flow of chakra within his body.

Then... "Bang!"

As the smoke rose, Orochimaru's appearance changed, transforming from a child into a young man wearing a white coat.

"This is truly... amazing!!"

Orochimaru looked at his reflection in the mirror with some excitement; it was what he looked like in his past life.

I touched it up and down, and it felt real to the touch, not an illusion.

His body was truly changed...

After that, Orochimaru, like a child who had found a new toy, began to transform into all sorts of things.

From people, to animals, to plants, and even inorganic matter...

Everything can change; this is not an illusion, but a genuine alteration of its own material composition.

But it wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

Maintaining the transformed state requires a continuous consumption of chakra; the smaller the difference between the transformed state and the original state, the less chakra is consumed.

Transforming into a human of similar size is the easiest. Transforming into a non-living thing, such as a shuriken, is fine, but it's impossible to transform into something with a complex structure.

Moreover, the things that are conjured up are merely superficial; in terms of material strength, they are far inferior to the originals.

Even so, it still demonstrates just how absurd the chakra system is...

The clone technique and the substitution technique are quite simple. The clone technique only creates an illusion, similar to a mass projection, rather than a physical clone like a shadow clone.

The Substitution Jutsu also leaves a wooden stake in place the moment it is attacked, and then it runs away...

It's rather simple compared to a transformation technique that can completely change one's appearance.

And so, in the course of the experiment, it was already evening before they knew it.

That's all for today...

Orochimaru wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face even paler from the depletion of chakra, but his eyes were filled with even more excitement.

He wanted to find out how chakra affects human cells to do this, but he couldn't make bricks without straw; he didn't have a microscope.

More importantly, I'm meeting my advisor tomorrow, so I need to get some rest early tonight.

Thinking this, Orochimaru opened the refrigerator and made a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.

After dinner, I took a quick shower and went to bed.

The Naruto world is based on cell theory, so hospitals should have the necessary research tools, right?
I should be able to get a set through my connection with the Third Hokage, right?

There is also relevant research data...

Wait a minute, these things seem to be readily available?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up, almost forgetting that Tsunade was about to become his teammate.

This person is destined to be famous for medical ninjutsu, why would he go to such lengths?
Judging from the future trajectory, Tsunade's ability to research medical ninjutsu to that extent cannot be attributed solely to exceptional talent; she must have possessed a vast amount of data.

Judging from the medical standards of Konoha Hospital, this information probably did not originate from there...

So, does that mean it comes from the Senju family?

In that case... it shouldn't be a problem for him, as a teammate, to take a little rub against me, right?

And so, lost in thought about a bright future, Orochimaru drifted off to sleep.

Accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness, Orochimaru instantly regained consciousness.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a space filled with gray fog.

Ahead, there were several figures of varying heights, clothing, and even ethnicities.

Judging from her expression, she was looking at him with anticipation...?

What... what on earth is going on?!
(Although the setting that the Sannin graduated at the age of 6 is outrageous, it comes from the Book of Ninja, not something I made up.)

(

To explain further, I think there is a dantian or a place to store chakra in Naruto. You can see this from Naruto unleashing the Nine-Tails during the Chunin Exams. The chakra comes out from his lower abdomen and then travels throughout his body.
