If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

His entire body is covered with a layer of fine scales that sparkle with an icy light. Although they look similar to snakes, they are obviously different and do not completely have the characteristics of snakes.

Looking at his face again, it was even more distorted and hideous to the extreme. His facial features seemed to be squeezed together by an invisible force, presenting an extremely strange shape, without any of the normal appearance of a human face.

Not only that, if you look closely at his unique overall shape, you will find that he is neither like the common snakes nor the legendary dragons. He seems to be a terrifying existence from some unknown world.

At this moment, the humanoid monster opened its mouth and let out a sharp and piercing cry: "Hiss——"

The sound was just like the cry of an owl in the middle of the night, shrill and eerie, making people's hair stand on end.

Then, he stared at Orochimaru with his eyes that emitted a faint cold light, and slowly asked: "You... are the transformation of Lord Orochi Wan, right?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned and thought to himself, "Who is this guy? How did he know my identity? And he found this place so accurately... No, I can't let him ruin my plan!"

Thinking of this, his eyes became even colder, staring at the other person intently, and licked his lips unconsciously.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Orochimaru suppressed his inner uneasiness and asked in a stern voice.

At this moment, various countermeasures flashed rapidly through his mind. If he could not quickly get rid of this uninvited guest, then the batch of White Zetsu that he had worked so hard to find would most likely fall into the hands of others.

A thrilling showdown seems inevitable...

"Me? Haha, I'm Lord Orochi's right-hand man - Yakushito!"

The pharmacists all crossed their arms and had smug smiles on their faces.

Hearing the name, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly guessed the true identity of the person in front of him.

"Oh? So it's a variation of Kabuto..."

Orochimaru whispered softly.

"Haha, maybe you can say that."

The pharmacist smiled noncommittally.

"Lord Orochimaru, it seems that no matter which world we are in, there seem to be countless connections and bonds between us." Yakushi continued.

At this time, Yakushi took a step forward, bowed slightly to Orochimaru, and then said, "Lord Orochimaru, I am here on the orders of our empire's Lord Orochi Wan. Please go to the empire."

As he spoke, Yakushito's tone was extremely respectful, but this superficial politeness did not make Orochimaru feel the slightest bit pleased.

On the contrary, Orochimaru just felt a sense of annoyance in his heart.

The reason was simple. Although the pharmacist spoke politely, his eyes were always staring at him in a condescending manner.

Although his attitude and tone seemed humble, the arrogance that came from the depths of his soul and subconsciousness was like a sharp thorn that pierced Orochimaru directly, making it almost difficult for him to open his eyes. "

"If he wants to, do I have to go?"

Orochimaru pondered secretly in his heart, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and suspicion.

After all, the opponent is neither those powerful and cruel perverts, nor a variation of himself.

He is just a variant of Kabuto Yakushi. How can such a character compete with me?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

He stared at the pharmacist in front of him with a sharp gaze, while the latter always maintained a gentle face, as if he was harmless.

However, Orochimaru knew very well that this man was definitely not as simple as he seemed. His so-called gentleness was just a disguise. In fact, he was harboring murderous intentions. He was a typical smiling but dagger hidden behind his back!

At this time, Yakushidu slowly said, "No, Lord Orochimaru, I believe you will be willing to go there in the end. Because of the experiment on immortality, we have made a major breakthrough. Through unremitting efforts, we have now successfully been able to extend the life span of the soul to a full thousand years, and it can also achieve immortality! Such an astonishing achievement, don't you want to witness and participate in it with your own eyes?"

When Orochimaru heard this, greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "Humph, your words are not very credible." Orochimaru sneered.

Yakushi shook his head gently, "Lord Orochimaru, I know you are suspicious by nature. But if I say that the person you are most familiar with has now achieved a thousand years of life, would you believe it or not?"

Orochimaru's body trembled, "Who is it?"

"Haha, it's so far away, yet so close at hand."

There was a hint of suspicion in Orochimaru's eyes.

"You said it was you?"

The pharmacist nodded without hesitation.

"I am now a dragon man, transcending the realm of snakes and transforming into a dragon! This is one of Master Orochi's great experiments!"

"And there are thousands of such experiments in the empire!"

"And a thousand years is just the beginning. Our goal is eternal life."

Yakushi smiled mysteriously, "I think you must have seen Master Jiraiya dealing with those foreigners on the moon? In fact, they are from the Otsutsuki clan. Whether it is the Six Paths Sage or the Goddess of the Rabbit, they all belong to the Otsutsuki clan. Our ninjutsu all originated from them, and their blood played a key role in this immortality experiment."

"And our empire possesses the blood of their most noble clan!"

"I suppose you would be interested in their blood and genes?"

Orochimaru clenched his fists. He really did desire eternal life and had coveted powerful strength for a long time.

But the person in front of him always gave him a sense of danger.

"Why should I believe you?" Orochimaru asked.

The pharmacist took out a small bottle of liquid emitting a strange glow from his arms, "This is part of the medicine developed using the blood of our imperial concubine. As long as you taste a little, you can feel the huge energy it contains."

Orochimaru stared at the bottle of potion, struggling internally.

Orochimaru's eyes moved back and forth between the potion and Kabuto Yakushi. After a moment, he slowly reached out and took the potion.

Just as he was about to drink it, he suddenly stopped.

"This potion won't have any side effects, right? Like being controlled by you guys or something like that." Orochimaru asked with narrowed eyes.

There was still that mysterious smile on Yakushi Kabuto's face.

"You are worrying too much, Lord Orochimaru. If I wanted to harm you, why would I go to such great lengths?"

Orochimaru snorted coldly, but finally drank the potion.

At that moment, it seemed as if a surging torrent suddenly erupted in his body.
