Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Orochimaru was not seriously injured during his defection, so theoretically he had more time to prepare for his first reincarnation.

Qing was surprised that he had already made a plan so quickly.

They followed Orochimaru into his temporary residence.

They discovered that the place had been transformed into something completely different, and all the items and books that had been temporarily stored there had disappeared.

There were no items left on the bookshelf.

The room became empty.

It seems they've been gone for a while now.

"Qing, I've found a new place to live. Would you like to move in with me?"

Orochimaru inquired.

During his time in Yongji Cave, he did not remain idle; he had already arranged for several trusted confidants outside to scout out where to stay.

Although they have a good relationship with Ryūji-dō.

However, Orochimaru also disliked staying on other people's territory for too long, especially since the owner of this place, the White Snake Sage, was a partner with ulterior motives.

"When are you leaving?"

Qing asked, his gaze falling on the two children not far away. Jugo's honest and simple nature had already brought him and Kimimaro very close.

Jugo held a roasted potato in his hands, took a small bite for himself, and then handed it to Kimimaro.

Considering that the two children are still young, and that living in the dark and gloomy Yongji-dong place is not good for their development, the damp and shady environment is not conducive to their growth.

Kimimaro, in particular, was very thin.

In addition, after being abused for two years, her body was severely depleted.

It's no wonder that Kimimaro died young from a bloodline disease.

"Now."

Orochimaru followed Ao's gaze and noticed the two little radish heads.

"These are the two children you brought back? Which of them is a ninja clan with the Ice Release bloodline limit?"

Ao shook his head and said, "Neither of them. The tall one is the younger brother, named Jugo, who was sent over by the White Snake Sage. The other one is a member of the Kaguya clan who has the physical bloodline limit, Shikotsumyaku, that you mentioned to me before."

Orochimaru paused for a moment. This kid has never carried out a mission before?

How could I have forgotten all of his instructions?

What he needs are members of the Minazuki clan!

Why did I bring back two completely unrelated people?

If this were a mission in Konoha, he'd probably commit seppuku on the spot!

Orochimaru initially felt that Ao's mind was unconventional and suitable for thinking-based work, serving as a qualified source of inspiration and a research assistant.

It is not suitable for doing tasks.

But he never expected that Qing would stray so far from the intended course.

"What about the Minazuki clan?"

Orochimaru asked, subconsciously pinching his chin and slightly furrowing his brow.

"They're on their way. Those children are all too old; I'm worried they won't be able to get past the White Snake Immortal..."

Ao replied that everyone who enters Ryuchi Cave must undergo three tests, and he doesn't have the same influence as Orochimaru.

Kimimaro followed because he was too young and posed no threat.

Compared to Jugo, he was ultimately spared the White Snake Sage's wrath.

If it were any other teenagers from the Mizuki clan, they probably wouldn't have had such an easy time passing the test.

"Can they find us?"

Orochimaru looked at Ao suspiciously. The Mizuki clan had been targeted by Kirigakure. How could those children have escaped while being hunted down by Kirigakure ninja?

"I left your curse mark on one of the key characters. It contains your soul aura, so no matter where she hides, she can be easily found."

Qing replied.

"So, the reason you asked me for a forbidden cursed seal technique before you left was to leave your coordinates!"

"Okay, once I've settled them in, I'll send someone to bring them to the new base."

Orochimaru nodded, and suddenly remembered the time when Ao went to Kirigakure. After having a meal together, he specifically asked for a cursed seal scroll before leaving.

He rarely used that thing; he mostly preserved the techniques in the form of living snakes.

So Orochimaru gave Ao a summoning snake.

"What are the names of these two children?"

Orochimaru walked up to Kimimaro and examined his thin body. Judging from his bone age alone, he was at least two years old.

But its size is smaller than that of a one-year-old child.

The white hair lacked luster, resembling pale, withered grass, dry and rough.

His face was filthy, making it impossible to see his features.

Only two red dots could be vaguely seen above the eyes.

"She looks like a member of the Kaguya clan, that's right..."

Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully.

The name Kimimaro feels strangely fitting.

"Su...susu...snake...su"

Kimimaro, who had always shown fear towards strangers, did not show any resistance when he approached Orochimaru. Instead, as if he had seen a relative, he tremblingly reached out his small hand, grabbed Orochimaru's trouser leg, and softly called out to him.

Upon hearing this, Qing's lips twitched slightly.

Snake?

Kimimaro and Orochimaru really do have a connection!

"Uncle?"

Orochimaru was taken aback; this was the first time he had ever heard such a title.

A slight stirring in my heart.

feel good.

He reached out and gently stroked Kimimaro's head, saying softly, "This child is too weak. If he wants to become a qualified assistant to you in the future, he will need to take good care of himself."

"Teacher, he is a natural-born Shikotsu Pulse Awakener, a child highly valued even by the Kaguya clan. As he grows up, he can be considered your perfect vessel for reincarnation."

Ao explained that Kimimaro's talent was beyond doubt, and without a bloodline disease, he would definitely grow into a Kage-level powerhouse.

The power of the Corpse Bone Pulse allowed him to reach the maximum level of talent in physical combat.

"A natural-born corpse bone vein! That's interesting."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, his hand paused for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Was this...the work of the White Snake Sage?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jugo, who was standing there dumbfounded. The boy looked at Kimimaro timidly, his face full of fear and apprehension towards Orochimaru, and dared not come closer.

But he didn't leave; instead, he looked at his newly acquainted friend Kimimaro with a worried expression.

He was worried that Orochimaru would be a threat to Kimimaro.

Although Shigeo is only two years old, he already possesses a certain level of understanding.

Shigego is a thoughtful and loyal person.

"Yes, teacher, this guy has a natural Sage Body, which allows him to automatically absorb natural energy and condense Sage Chakra. If he can master the method of absorbing natural energy, his future growth curve will be quite high."

Aoshiro picked up Jugo from the ground and brought him close to Orochimaru, saying...

"The ability to generate natural affinity, and the fact that it is most closely related to the violent natural energy of Ryuchi Cave, makes me suspect that it is related to the White Snake Sage."

Seeing this, Orochimaru said directly:

"There's no doubt that he is the result of the White Snake Immortal's research, but it's a failed product."

"That clan gained an affinity for natural energy because of the White Snake Immortal, but they did not acquire the snake clan's genes and could not control this violent power. Therefore, when the natural energy in their bodies reaches a certain concentration, they will go berserk, lose their minds, and unconsciously destroy anything around them."

It was obvious that he knew about the origins of the Jugo clan and had even conducted a special investigation into it.

After it was confirmed,

He essentially sentenced this entire ethnic group to death.

Because of the White Snake Immortal, it's impossible for her to become his vessel.

"Ao, actually I encountered a perfect vessel among my subordinates in the Land of Fields, which is why I rushed over there so as not to be discovered by the White Snake Sage."

Orochimaru also spoke in a low voice.

He had his own ulterior motives.

He wasn't on the same page as the White Snake Sage. From the moment he refused to adopt Jugo and rejected Jugo as a substitute vessel, he probably already knew some of the White Snake Sage's plans.

"That child is about your age."

The perfect container...

Qing was stunned for a moment when she heard the word, but a name quickly came to mind.

Uchiha Itachi!

Isn't he still young? Besides, Orochimaru and Itachi Uchiha don't really have any interaction.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha is definitely out of the running.

Could it be him?!

Qing then remembered another name.

Uchiha letter!

One of the future minor villains.

As one of Orochimaru's test subjects, he had Sharingan eyes transplanted all over his body, but did not suffer any backlash.

A fool whose mind is full of extreme ideas.

He fanatically worships Itachi Uchiha, a traitor who wiped out his clan.

He even adopted it as his spiritual belief.

Utterly foolish.

It was probably around this time that Shin was recruited by Orochimaru.

However, this guy was just an ordinary person without any bloodline limit, so he shouldn't have been valued by Orochimaru at first.

Orochimaru simply regarded Shin as an ordinary subordinate.

Later, he voluntarily sacrificed his body, choosing to become Orochimaru's experimental subject, which earned him Orochimaru's attention.

Uchiha Ao originally thought that Orochimaru was referring to the perfect vessel, but after he followed Orochimaru to the base, he discovered that it was someone else entirely.
