From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

To put it simply, Scorpion believes that Tobirama Senju's innovation ability is much stronger than Orochimaru's, but Orochimaru's ability to deepen his field seems to be stronger than Tobirama Senju's.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

You see, Senju Tobirama invented the Flying Thunder God Technique, but later, it was Namikaze Minato who further developed this technique and made it perfect.

He also developed the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but this technique was perfected by Orochimaru.

Of course, it’s not that Senju Tobirama is not good at in-depth research after development, but that he doesn’t have the intention to do so.

His innovative ability is so strong that he has developed so many technologies that he has no more energy to improve and deepen them.

Therefore, he just needs to use what he develops as he finds it convenient.

On the contrary, Orochimaru is very good at deeply exploring the potential of these techniques and research.

He also likes to do this kind of thing. In his opinion, it is the pursuit of "truth".

It was like after he discovered the magic, he quickly developed the curse seal. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was analyzing the power of this magic.

The process of analyzing this power is the process of pursuing truth.

Similarly, he likes to study ninjutsu and even wants to learn all the ninjutsu in the world. He believes that this process is a process of pursuing truth.

It is precisely because he likes the process that Orochimaru continues to study these techniques and deepen them.

Similarly, this does not mean that Orochimaru’s innovation ability is poor, but it just means that during this period of time, he is not more concerned about innovation.

He feels that this deepening is a kind of accumulation of knowledge.

Only after he had accumulated enough knowledge did he shift his attention to innovation.

And then... Mecha Naruto, Mecha Nine-Tails, clones, androids, genetic modification technology.

Like bamboo shoots after rain, they popped out from Orochimaru's hands one by one.

He is seventy years old and still working on the front line of scientific research.

The spirit is commendable.

Scorpion didn't respond to Orochimaru's words. Instead, after recording some information about the Sharingan, he said helplessly, "After all, the experimental materials are insufficient. Besides, it's time to move on to the next step of research. We have thoroughly studied the detailed data on the Sharingan over the past five years."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked over to a nearby cabinet where various materials were placed. A row of storage tanks containing Sharingan were empty.

At present, they still have two pairs of Sharingan left.

If they continue this repetitive research, they may be able to persist for a long time, because this repetitive research is not too destructive. There were not many Sharingan that Orochimaru brought with him before, but after five years of hard work, there are still two pairs left.

But now, the data has basically been obtained. Next, it is time to boldly move in a new direction. In this process, we must continue to trial and error.

In the eyes of Orochimaru and Sasori, so-called scientific research is actually just as Diarmuid said, a process of constant trial and error to obtain the correct results.

Once you start trial and error, you will inevitably consume a lot of Sharingan.

Now, it’s not enough.

"I've asked Kabuto to keep a close eye on the situation in Konoha. As far as I know, although the old man Sandaime has been trying to repair the rift with that Uchiha Fugaku over the past five years, in fact, from the very beginning, there was no room for recovery... Wait a little longer." Orochimaru said.

That’s right, the situation in Konoha was indeed not very good at this time.

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage lineage over the village issue is very sharp.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to centralize power and he had to centralize power.

Otherwise, the power of the village will be dispersed and divided, which will not be good for the entire Konoha, and even less for the Hokage.

At the same time, the current power structure of Konoha has become stable, and the cake that should be divided has already been divided.

The Uchiha clan has always been a force that has never been satisfied. Except for the security department, they have always been excluded from the core power of the village. However, they are powerful and have enough strength to support further ambitions.

Under such circumstances, the struggle for power will naturally become intense.

So in essence, at this point, the confrontation between the Hokage and the Uchiha clan is no longer a matter of ideology, nor is it about the rift caused by the Night of the Nine-Tails.

Those are just inducements. The real reason is the struggle for power.

It was precisely because of this that Uchiha Fugaku was kidnapped by the Uchiha public opinion and used to attack the Hokage lineage.

There's no way around it. As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, it's his responsibility to mediate other conflicts with the village. But you do have to shoulder your responsibilities and fight for the interests of the Uchiha clan.

The same goes for Sarutobi Hiruzen. You represent the Hokage lineage and the orthodox power of Konoha. Naturally, you cannot bow to them and disperse the power in your hands just because of the pressure from the Uchiha.

This is something that the Hokage lineage cannot accept because they are all vested interests.

At the same time, over the past few decades, "anti-Uchiha" seemed to have secretly become a kind of "political correctness" of Konoha's power. Sarutobi Hiruzen tried his best to avoid this situation, but in the end, he still failed to stop it.

This situation is very scary.

"Then let's wait a little longer. It won't make a difference for a day or two," Scorpion said after thinking for a moment. He then asked, "Where's Diarmait? Is he still studying the secret art of spiritualization?"

"Of course, he is addicted to it now and can't extricate himself." Orochimaru said with some amusement.

But after a pause, Orochimaru added: "But I have to say, the spiritual transformation secret technique is indeed extremely charming."

"So, has he solved the mystery of 'the end of the spiritualization secret technique is spiritualization'?" Scorpion asked again. At this moment, a voice came from the wall and said, "No, it's still too early."

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait, emitting a dark green glow, walked out from the wall.

This was undoubtedly his out-of-body state.

Scorpion observed Diarmait's soul for a moment, and with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he said, "You've improved a lot!"

"Hahaha, I've already told you that I'm very talented in practicing the secret art of spiritualization." Diarmait said with a big laugh.

Orochimaru stood up and circled around Diarmait twice, carefully observing Diarmait's situation. After a long time, he closed his eyes, and then his soul left his body and stood beside Diarmait.

Orochimaru's spirit raised his arm and compared it with Diarmait beside him, then said with emotion: "Indeed, if it weren't for this unique light of the soul, I would even think that this is your entity." Comparing the souls of Orochimaru and Diarmait at this time, a very clear difference can be seen.

In fact, everyone's soul is similar before they practice cultivation. If it is visible to the naked eye, the image of this soul is no different from the body, but with a sense of transparency and mystery, emitting a faint light that represents the power of the soul.

Orochimaru had practiced the secret art of spiritualization, so even though his soul was a little weak after experiencing the reincarnation, it still looked more solid than that of an ordinary person, and had much less of that transparent and illusory feeling.

But when he looked at Diarmait again, there was no sense of illusion at all. It was as if a real person was standing there. If it weren't for the fact that the faint light naturally emitted by the soul really existed and he came out from the wall, he would have been mistaken for a real person.

Therefore, we can also see the effect of the spiritualization secret art. The deeper the practice, the more solid and heavy the soul becomes, the stronger the sense of entity, and the greater the power of the soul.

"After all, I've been practicing my spiritual body for the past five years," Diarmait said. After a brief pause, Diarmait added, "I want to visit the Pure Land." Both Scorpion and Orochimaru looked in amazement.

"Are you crazy?" Scorpion asked directly.

"That's a very dangerous place!" Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

Right

Chapter 635: Kabuto Yakushi: These three adults are psychopaths!

“I’m not crazy.” Diarmait rolled his eyes.

After a brief pause, Diarmait continued, "The Pure Land will surely bring me rewards."

"You are already considered the strongest in the ninja world. I can't think of anyone who can be your opponent, so there is no need for you to take such risks and seek so-called gains." Scorpion said after thinking for a while.

"What you said makes sense, but as a person, one must always have some ambition and obsession." Diarmait said softly, his eyes a little vague, and then he said: "Otherwise, it will become empty." "But the Pure Land is too dangerous. Once you lose the concept of time in it, even if your body has reached the realm of immortality, it does not mean that you will not die." Scorpion said in a deep voice.

Scorpion was right, Diarmait did have the power of immortality, but that was only under normal circumstances, when life would not come to an end.

If he doesn't eat or drink and doesn't replenish any energy, he will still die after a long time.

"He's right," Orochimaru followed.

"Hahaha, I still have you. If I really get trapped in the Pure Land, you can help me take care of my body. As long as my body is not dead, I will have a chance to come back." Diarmait said with a smile.

"It's okay in the short term, but if you really get lost in the Pure Land for ten or twenty years, to be honest, I don't think I'll have the patience to take care of you." Orochimaru said these ruthless words calmly.

"It's so cruel. After all, we are like-minded partners." Diarmait said with some dissatisfaction.

But soon, he changed the subject and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue of being lost in the Pure Land for some time. I also have an idea that perhaps we can use external forces to avoid this situation." "How do you mean?" Scorpion asked curiously.

"It's like this. Doesn't Orochimaru know how to be reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation? Once I stay in the Pure Land for too long, Orochimaru will use this technique to summon my soul. I should be able to sense it, and then I will know that the time is too long, and then I will return to the real world." Diarmait said.

Scorpion said in confusion, "Immortal Reincarnation is about summoning the dead, right? You're still alive, how can you summon them?" "I can't summon them, but I've seen this technique in the Book of Sealing, and it exists..." Diarmuid said. At this moment, Orochimaru said, "You can give it a try."

Scorpion looked at Orochimaru in surprise and said, "He's crazy, are you crazy too?"

"What I mean is, let's try using Impure World Reincarnation to summon someone like him whose soul has left his body. If it's true as he says, it can greatly reduce the danger," Orochimaru said calmly. Scorpion was silent for a long time before speaking, "Now I understand the gap between you and me. It's not a matter of talent, but I'm far less crazy than you." "Hahahaha," Diarmait laughed.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Diarmait's house.

The scene at this time was very strange, because Diarmait could be seen sitting cross-legged on the cushion, with his hands clasped in a circle at his abdomen, and his breathing was very calm and rhythmic, as if he was practicing.

But Diarmait's soul stood next to Orochimaru and Sasori, which seemed very strange.

"Do you need a living sacrifice or something?" Scorpion asked.

"No need." Orochimaru and Diarmait said at the same time.

Then Orochimaru explained, "We don't really need to perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique completely. We just need to connect with Diarmait's soul through a certain medium and summon him."

"This summoning is bound to fail because I am not dead, but I speculate that it should make me feel something, and this feeling is a signal. If I lose the concept of time in the Pure Land, you can use this method to give me a signal and wake me up. In this way, the danger level will be reduced a lot." Diarmait continued.

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant. However, I never thought that the Impure World Reincarnation technique could be used like this..."

"Hahahaha, it's not that many spells don't have uses, but that no one uses them." Diarmait said with a big laugh.

Orochimaru did not respond, but walked to Diarmait's body and quickly began to form seals with his hands.

After a while, Orochimaru brought down a palm, pressing it on Diarmuid's shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "Immortality Reincarnation!!!"

Then, a large amount of Impure World Reincarnation appeared out of thin air, trying to wrap around Diarmait's body, just like the normal Impure World Reincarnation.

However, when the filth wanted to wrap around Diarmait's body, it seemed to be repelled by an invisible force. Soon, the filth felt that this body could not be "used", so it quickly dissipated.

At this moment, Diarmait's eyes lit up and he said, "Sure enough, it can be sensed!"

At this moment, his soul body did feel the call from Orochimaru.

The power of this summoning is unreasonable and feels compulsory.

But because Diarmait's soul did not lose consciousness and immerse in the pure land like the real dead, and in terms of soul power, Diarmait's soul power was much stronger than Orochimaru's, Diarmait rejected the call with just a thought.

But it was obvious that his previous inference was correct. In this way, Orochimaru was able to give Diarmuid a connection to the outside world.

This kind of connection can be regarded as a signal. Once this signal appears, Diarmait can passively remember the concept of "time" and then come out of the pure land.

In this way he will not be lost in the Pure Land.

"It seems to be really useful." Orochimaru smacked his lips.

"In that case, letting you go to the Pure Land is not unacceptable." Scorpion was silent for a moment, then said after thinking for a while.
