From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

This call seemed to have just triggered Tsunade 2.9. Tsunade turned around abruptly, looked at Diarmait fiercely and said, "I can't think of any terms right now. What kind of deal should I make with you? So let me make a condition, a promise. If I need you to agree to do something in the future, you must agree to my request."

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, looking at Tsunade's fluctuating expression, and finally with a smile on his face, his eyes looked a little "doting", he smiled at Tsunade and said: "Okay, I promise you." Tsunade's face turned slightly red, and then said: "Then even if this matter is over, you have no reason to force us to stay, right? Shizune, let's go!" With that, Tsunade stood up and prepared to leave the house with Shizune.

Diarmait smiled and did not continue to stop her. After all, he still understood the principle of "too much is as bad as too little". But just as Tsunade was about to leave the room, Diarmait suddenly asked: "Don't you want to see Orochimaru? He might be free after he finishes his work..."

When Tsunade heard Orochimaru's name, she was furious. If it weren't for this bastard, how could she have encountered such a thing? So she took her anger out on him without hesitation and said, "He's gone. I'm afraid I can't control my urge to beat him to death!" After saying that, she slammed the door shut and left.

"Hahahaha..." Diarmuid seemed to have thought of something funny and burst into laughter.

Chapter 596: A few things about the scientific research maniac.

In the laboratory, Scorpion and Orochimaru were recording some data.

In front of me is a sliced ​​Sharingan, as for the Rinnegan.

They also studied it for a while, but there was no progress. The main reason was that unlike the Sharingan, there was only one pair of Samsara eyes, and it was impossible to directly slice it up for research like this, or even do some fancy operations.

At the same time, the Rinnegan is a very important thing to Diarmait. They dare not make too much effort with it and can only observe and study it through the simplest methods.

Can't even find a comparison target.

Therefore, the research on the Rinnegan has made almost no progress.

"Let's stop here for today." After writing down some data, Scorpion closed the notebook in his hand and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru also stopped what he was doing, glanced at the Sharingan material on the table, nodded and said, "Okay."

"What experiences and gains did you gain today?" Scorpion asked casually.

After finishing the experiment every day, Scorpion and Orochimaru would exchange their experiences with each other.

"There's nothing special about it, but we can basically judge that Diarmait is right. The Rinnegan is the result of the continuous evolution of the Sharingan." Orochimaru thought for a while and said.

"It's similar to what I thought. It seems we haven't made any progress in the past few days." Scorpion said with some emotion.

"Isn't that what scientific research is? It's a boring process... but I enjoy it." Orochimaru said with a smile.

"I'm not as persistent as you," Scorpion said calmly. After a brief pause, he continued, "Next, it's a repetitive study of the Sharingan. I estimate it will take a long time to fully understand the so-called genes and heredity, and then combine it with Diarmait's Wood Release cells... to make new developments. This period will be very energy-consuming. Are you interested in starting a new project?"

"Oh? It seems you have an idea?" Orochimaru put the notebook in his hand on the table, then walked a few steps, picked up the teacup from another table, took a sip and asked.

Since Scorpion was a human puppet, he basically didn't have these needs. He just sat casually on the sofa, as if taking a 'rest', and nodded. "Yes, or rather, I have been following this aspect all along, but it has stagnated recently."

"What is it?" Orochimaru asked with interest.

Although he and Scorpion do not agree on some ideas, their relationship is indeed good, at least much better than the relationship in the original story where both want to kill each other.

Moreover, both of them have scientific research talents and appreciate each other.

"Bloodline Limit." Scorpion said with a smile.

"Haven't you given up on your idea of ​​a bloodline limit human puppet army?" Orochimaru asked with amusement as he put the teacup on the table.

Sasori had entertained these ideas before, but they were ultimately thwarted during his research on Uchiha Kagami. …

Now it seems that he has not given up.

"It's just a little setback." Scorpion said nonchalantly.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if you are interested in your ideas and new creations?" Orochimaru asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh? I always value your thoughts, please speak." Scorpion looked at Orochimaru and said.

"Don't always pin your hopes on bloodline limits. Maybe you and I can work together to create new power." Orochimaru grinned, like a snake, and smiled evilly.

"What do you mean?" Scorpion asked with great interest.

In fact, although Scorpion is not much worse than Orochimaru in terms of technology, scientific research is not only about technology, innovative thinking is obviously more important.

Scorpion's way of thinking is obviously not as innovative as Orochimaru's.

Although he developed something as bizarre and extraordinary as the human puppet, he was essentially stuck in a circle, such as being obsessed with bloodline limits.

But Orochimaru is different. His thoughts are truly wild and imaginative.

This can be seen from the aspects involved in his research. It can basically be said that he is a versatile type.

He dares to study all kinds of random things.

"Before I left Konoha, I had already set up secret research bases in many small countries and invited some people with excellent physical fitness and talents to conduct biological experiments..." Orochimaru said after thinking for a while.

"Don't be so tactful. I know exactly what kind of evil person you are. Let's get to the point," Scorpion interrupted Orochimaru. Orochimaru smiled and shook his head, saying, "It seems that my image in your hearts cannot be changed." "There's no need to change anything, right?" Scorpion responded calmly. Orochimaru nodded and said, "That's true. After all, this is not Konoha, the self-righteous place."

After complaining, Orochimaru continued, "Well, I have secret research bases in many places. I've captured some special people for human experiments. The purpose is to develop more potential in the human body and create new powers. These include but are not limited to 'beast transformation', 'artificial bloodline limits', 'inhumane forbidden techniques and secret experiments', etc. I think since you no longer care about life and death and the bottom line of morality, you don't need to be so strict. You should be more unrestrained, especially in your thinking."

"Wait." Scorpion first called out to Orochimaru, then asked unhappily: "What do you mean I don't care about life and death and the bottom line of morality?" "Oh? Your question is really interesting. Does your forbidden human puppet technique... have these bottom lines?" Orochimaru asked back in a pretentious manner.

Scorpion's face twitched slightly, as if alive, and then he said, "Okay, let's just take it as it is. What do you mean by more unrestrained thinking...?"

"Most of my research has failed. Some of it was indeed able to obtain superhuman powers, such as the beast transformation research. I originally wanted to create a new biological power to allow humans to have the powerful characteristics of animals, but later failed. ... Of course, it is not a complete failure. The power was indeed obtained, but the use of this power will squeeze and consume people's lifespan and potential. Obviously, it is a disposable item at the cannon fodder level, but..." Orochimaru said here, looking at Scorpion with a smile on his face.

Orochimaru had indeed done some research on this. The experimental base he had taken Mitarashi Anko to before was doing some similar research, such as mermaids...

Similarly, there is the first villain who appeared in the original story... Mr. Mizuki.

This was also Orochimaru's research in this area. Through crude and inferior curses, he induced Mizuki to take the initiative to study and drink the beastification potion, turning himself into a tiger man.

Of course, his glory didn't last long, as he was ruined by the side effects.

"Interesting, an experiment that can't be done on a living person, but a dead person... no, I should say my human puppet can, right?" Scorpion reacted with a gleam in his eyes.

Orochimaru nodded, then said, "Indeed, your human puppets can retain many of their characteristics from life. So, if you create human puppets from those research materials before they become useless, wouldn't you be able to maintain their powers that would otherwise collapse due to the strain on their lifespan and potential?"

"Obviously, the answer is unknown." Scorpion said first, but then he said seriously: "But it is worth studying, isn't it?"

"Of course, I think this kind of creating new power by yourself is far more interesting and more technically demanding than your search for some bloodline limit. Of course, I am also very interested in your proposal, because I myself have my own ideas about bloodline limits. For my non-corpse reincarnation technique, I have to replace the container every three years. If I can find a more powerful container with a strong bloodline limit, it will be very beneficial to me, both in terms of research and power." Orochimaru said evilly.

"That's natural." Scorpion said with understanding.

Orochimaru was right. For example, the research on the Sharingan has basically reached a bottleneck. If you want to make a breakthrough, one way is to do what Scorpion said before, to work hard, conduct a large number of repetitive experiments, continue to go deeper, continue to analyze, and finally accumulate small results to break through the bottleneck.

But Orochimaru thought there was a faster way.

That is the technique of reincarnation. Through this technique, by seizing a Sharingan container from the Uchiha clan, he can personally and truly experience the power of the Sharingan. Even more rare, this power is instinctive and natural.

He felt that as long as he truly experienced and understood the Sharingan himself, he would definitely be able to break through his existing understanding of the Sharingan.

Break that bottleneck!

Of course, his idea is very correct. With Orochimaru's talent and genius, personally experiencing the Sharingan will definitely be of great benefit to research in this area.

In the original story, Orochimaru constantly sought powerful and excellent vessels to replace his body, and his reason wasn't just to pursue power. ...Well, in essence, Orochimaru wasn't someone who pursued power; he pursued truth.

Those powerful replacement containers were more for his own practical experience, understanding, and comprehension of the power that he was studying.

Soon, the two evil scientists reached a consensus on this new idea.

That is to capture some ninjas with bloodline limits 853, and at the same time, secretly research those forbidden new artificial powers.

After chatting about these topics for a while, Scorpion looked at the clock on the wall and said, "We'll discuss this in detail later. Now it's time to go cook."

Orochimaru looked at the time and it was time for dinner, but he still couldn't understand Scorpion's strange hobby.

He is clearly a puppet and can't eat anything, but he likes to cook... It's outrageous.

But he wouldn't say much about this kind of thing, so he nodded, and then the two of them walked out together.

When Orochimaru reached the corner of the laboratory floor, he was chatting with Scorpion when he suddenly saw Diarmait walking towards him from the opposite direction.

"Oh, Orochimaru, I saw that you were almost done, so I came to see you." Diarmuid waved at Orochimaru as a greeting.

Scorpion nodded to Diarmait and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Steak?" Diarmait thought for a moment and said.

"Really? Then I'll go get ready and not disturb you guys anymore." Scorpion nodded and left naturally. Orochimaru looked at Diarmuid and asked, "What's the matter? And... I heard that you met Tsunade at noon?"

"That's right, but she's gone. Isn't it strange? She knew you were here, so why did she leave without meeting you?" Diarmait said with a smile.

"It's not surprising at all. If she met me, I think she would not be able to resist killing me." Orochimaru said calmly.

"Hahaha, then you really know her very well." Diarmait laughed, then slipped his sleeves, grabbed a scroll in his hand and said: "The secret technique of spiritualization has been obtained. I think you must need this technique too, right?" There was a hint of surprise in Orochimaru's eyes, but he was not surprised about the secret technique of spiritualization. After all, since Diarmait had met Tsunade, Orochimaru was very sure that with his means and strength, he would be able to get the secret technique of spiritualization, so this was not worth being surprised.

He was surprised... Diarmait seemed to see through his secrets and weaknesses?

"It seems... you discovered it?" Orochimaru said with some surprise.

"What did you discover? You mean the soul?" Diarmait said with a grin.

Chapter 597: The Secret of the Soul! The Secret Art of Spiritualization!

Orochimaru listened to Diarmait's teasing, glanced at him, and then observed the surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, he nodded and said, "It seems that you have indeed discovered the weaknesses and flaws of the Reincarnation Technique."

Diarmait nodded and said, "Come on, let's talk to me."

"Okay." Orochimaru didn't refuse anything and agreed directly, then followed Diarmait.

The two of them quickly arrived at Diarmait's room.

Only then did Orochimaru speak: "I didn't expect your perception to be so sharp?"

"I'm more concerned about everyone's health." Diarmait joked with a smile.

"It's a bit scary." Orochimaru first complained about Diarmait, and then said: "Even I didn't realize there was a small problem with my soul until the third day."

"As expected." Diarmuid replied, then poured hot water into the teapot, looked at Orochimaru and asked, "What kind of tea would you like?"

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky." Orochimaru said casually.

Diarmuid took out the fine tea leaves that he had 'confiscated' from Hanzo from under the table and began to brew them.

Then, he said, "It seems my feeling was correct. Your soul power has indeed weakened a bit, but it doesn't seem to be missing."

"Of course it can't be a missing thing. The missing soul would be a big problem." Orochimaru said without hesitation.

A weak soul and a lack of soul are two completely different things.

Soul weakness is relatively easy to solve. The simplest way is to rest and it will recover naturally.

If Orochimaru's Reincarnation Technique didn't have the restriction of changing the container every three years, he wouldn't have been able to perform it continuously and his soul wouldn't have continued to weaken.

Because as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to recover.

But the lack of soul is a very tricky problem. In comparison, a weak soul is like a person who is sick with a cold. It only takes rest to get better naturally. However, the lack of soul is equivalent to disability. For an ordinary normal person, it is impossible to grow back broken hands and feet.
