Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Emiya shrugged, then gave Orochimaru a helpless look.

"As you can see, she doesn't even seem interested in making jokes about Konoha."

“Emiya-kun, perhaps your persuasion methods are not strong enough.”

A sinister expression began to appear on Leng Jun's face. He had met Dr. Möbius yesterday. He was initially attracted by some of the terms the other party used, so he couldn't help but go up and talk to him. However, he was eventually conquered by the other party's knowledge.

Therefore,

He extended an invitation to Mebius, sincerely wanting to invite such a biological genius to join Konoha. He believed that when he took over the position of Kage in Konoha, he would treat the doctor with even greater respect, as if he were a national hero. In fact, if he didn't already have a teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had nurtured him for many years, he would have had the urge to turn around and become Mebius's disciple right now.

Ninjutsu?

Without sufficient chakra, learning any number of ninjutsu techniques is futile.

The amount of chakra seems to be fixed at the time of each person's birth.

In order to overcome his own limitations, Orochimaru had long understood that the only solution was to obtain the "bloodline" that those ninja clans were born with.

If he wanted to integrate those bloodlines into himself, this doctor's knowledge could help him avoid taking at least thirty to forty years of detours.

"Tough? Orochimaru, you can't say that. Dr. Mebius is my dearest friend and sworn sister... I'm waiting for her to introduce me to her group of female assistants as wives."

Cang Xuan, who hadn't yet been promoted to "Little Ancestor," rolled her eyes. This man was the one Dr. Mebius had taken a liking to, and they, as his assistants, dared not be greedy enough to possess him. Moreover, this man seemed to be a bit too much of a womanizer, and she had no intention of sharing a man with multiple women.

"It seems my attitude was a bit too mild, Emiya-kun... We ninjas usually... will stop at nothing to get what we want."

"Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Emiya scoffed. Orochimaru was never a kind person, whether he was young or later evolved into the Snake Father era, Mitsuki's biological father. He only showed some emotion to a very few people who caught his eye. To him, everyone else was just a tool.

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Limbs—!"

Almost the instant Emiya finished speaking, this cold-blooded man attacked without hesitation, using his unique snake-style ninjutsu to lock onto Emiya's throat and bite down.

"Calm down a bit."

Ninjas are generally physically strong, and as an all-around ninja, Orochimaru's taijutsu (body techniques) is naturally quite good. However, it depends on who you compare him to. Easily dodging the snake-type ninjutsu attack, Emiya's palm landed on Orochimaru's body, directly activating the Devil Fruit's ability...

Paramecia-type Devil Fruits do sometimes possess excellent 'one-hit kill' capabilities.

"Backtracking."

When the power of the Year-Year Fruit activated, Orochimaru instinctively sensed something was wrong. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Substitution Jutsu, leaving behind a humanoid figure made of mud before quickly disappearing underground, putting distance between himself and Emiya.

When he resurfaced, he discovered that the clay figure he had hastily created had shrunk several times over. Although it was only a slight change in appearance, it gave the impression of being 'younger'. Moreover, the structure created by his earth-escape technique was rapidly disintegrating and turning into sand.

"What a bizarre technique."

"Does the contact take effect? ​​Is it some kind of bloodline limit?"

Orochimaru became more vigilant, but deep down he wasn't afraid. The fighting methods between ninjas were unpredictable and unpredictable; he had encountered far too many enemies with novel techniques in his life. If this was all the opponent could do…

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Maintaining distance, Orochimaru unhesitatingly chose to launch a ranged ninjutsu. Since the opponent's technique could be effective upon contact, then... long-range ninjutsu became the best way to fight.

"Fire Release techniques can't kill people, forget it, I'm not wasting time with you... Projection, begin, full copy - thirty rounds!"

Thirty rounds of Noble Phantasm replication projections instantly obscured the entire sky with countless sharp blades. The moment Orochimaru saw those razor-sharp swords, a chill ran down his spine...

"Can't stop it."

The moment those swords locked onto his location, he clearly understood that they were no ordinary weapons, for each one posed a threat capable of killing him.

Every sword there was a renowned blade comparable to the Kusanagi sword, and there were three hundred such swords hovering above his head at that moment. Even using the Snake Substitution Technique would be difficult to withstand the saturation bombardment of so many renowned swords in an instant.

"escape."

The moment the thought crossed his mind, his body immediately burrowed underground and fled rapidly into the distance.

"Trying to escape? Isn't it a little too late?"

[P.S.: The previous chapters initially referred to it as the "Wash-Wash Fruit," but this has now been changed to the "Year-Round Fruit."]

Chapter 072: Every country has its laws, and every village has its rules. This outside ninja village is so rude!

The skills of ninjas were honed through long years of warfare.

This type of technology typically only has two most specific directional functions.

Kill the enemy, save yourself.

After entering the era of ninja villages, the Second Hokage listed the Three Body Technique as the first lesson that all ninjas must learn. During this period, almost all ninjas who were qualified to graduate as genin mastered the Three Body Technique, a life-saving technique. As for the method of killing enemies, even if it was just ordinary shuriken or poison, no one would say that you were despicable or shameless.

Therefore,

In this day and age, ninjas often devote far more energy to survival than to killing techniques.

Only the living deserve to fight. As long as there's a breath left, even a kunai can give you a chance to take the enemy's life.

The world here doesn't have the kind of situation where you're tied up and can't be killed even if you try to kill them, like in One Piece.

"The flashy fire-breathing ability is not as good as just having a gun, but the underground travel technique is quite interesting."

"Changing the soil layer to create temporary, movable gaps? Chakra is indeed a very interesting energy."

A look of eagerness appeared in Mebius's eyes. On her side, people had too few means to deal with the Honkai. Apart from special weapons designed to combat the Honkai, other combat personnel still had to rely on their flesh and blood to tough out the front lines. Even though their physical abilities could be temporarily enhanced by some special drugs, compared with the large number of Honkai beasts and the death warriors who were not afraid of pain, humanity's means of survival were still too few.

"It is clearly biological energy, but it can interact with the material world."

"The source of this energy must also have some imaginary nature."

According to the conjecture of superstring theory, the energy of collapse energy is essentially derived from the energy emitted from the superdimensional space outside the four-dimensional spacetime that humans can observe in ordinary time. This energy, which can often easily move the material world of "four-dimensional spacetime", such as the most basic units of matter, particles, electrons, photons, neutrinos and quarks, etc., are all classified in superstring theory, just under different vibrational frequencies.

The "imaginary" strings, which are currently unobservable by human technology, actually possess the ability to manipulate these fundamental units of the material world. This is one of the conjectures derived from what cutting-edge scientists, through the core of the Herrscher of the Void and the Moth of Fire, observed.

Unfortunately, despite having the ability to observe it, humanity has been unable to derive any direct solutions for utilizing imaginary internal energy from the results of this observation of imaginary space energy. The only type of imaginary internal energy that people can access is still "Honkai energy".

It was originally a shortcut that could have bypassed the nuclear energy track, but unfortunately, the possibility of touching it is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than directly studying nuclear fusion.

"What secrets does chakra hold? I'm becoming more and more interested."

"Emiya, I'm also very interested in the knowledge in his mind. Please keep him here for me."

"Doctor, this slippery snake is not easy to catch."

"Please, this is a request."

You've received a new commission!

A nasty woman has started to manipulate him.

"Afterwards, I will arrange for Mei to come over as well. That girl is an absolute beauty."

"You're being too polite, Doctor. We're like brothers, inseparable friends... If you need anything, I'll be there for you without hesitation!"

Earning points is nothing to be ashamed of.

As Mr. Emiya thought to himself, he slowed down his movements slightly. With his current abilities, he might accidentally kill Orochimaru if he didn't control his strength properly. Although these fragile ninjas couldn't be easily burned to death by fire-style techniques, once they were pierced by swords, not to mention Orochimaru, even Madara would have to sacrifice an eyeball to survive.

Therefore, you can't kill someone by exchanging blows with ninjutsu; swords are more effective.

"Orochimaru, weren't we having a pleasant conversation? It just so happens that the Doctor is also quite interested in you. Why don't you come inside and have a cup of tea with us?"

From afar, Emiya called out to Orochimaru, who was lurking in the ground. Orochimaru, who had instantly surfaced, merely turned back and gave him a gloomy look, without saying anything more, before fleeing in an even more distant direction.

“Every country has its laws, and every village has its rules. This ninja village from out of town is so rude. I invited him so warmly to stay as a guest, but he didn’t even give me face.”

"Stop joking around. With the locals' information, at least we don't need to start from scratch to explore many basic things."

"Alright, alright... then, let's use a little bit of the original abilities of the ninja world."

A crimson hue suddenly appeared in his pupils. Uchiha Hikaru was always right under his nose. This clan's eyes were known for their USB functionality, ready to use immediately. Kakashi even said they worked well. Although they consumed a lot of chakra, it couldn't stop Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan from being called "Eight Thousand Spears," which could connect with the chakra and spirit of others.

Tens of thousands of members of the Uzumaki clan are now connected by Emiya's kaleidoscope eyes.

Chakra, kid!

Even if Hashirama Senju were reincarnated, he wouldn't dare to compare the amount of chakra with the entire Uzumaki clan.

"Susanoo—!"

With the chakra of the Uzumaki clan as his foundation, Emiya directly pushed Susanoo to its current limit, creating a 300-meter-tall crow tengu giant with wings.

"Just that girl's abilities? The Herrscher of Reason can even completely regenerate human tissue..."

"The imaginary powers wielded by the Herrschers have already reached the level of directly manipulating 'laws,' and those Herrscher cores must be fully utilized."

While Mebius was silently contemplating the imaginary meaning of chakra and the imaginary authority wielded by the Herrscher, Emiya 963 had already completed his Susanoo piloting and swooped down in front of Orochimaru.

Faced with the Susanoo Karasu Tengu, which exceeded four hundred meters in size, Orochimaru politely raised his hands. Struggling against such a monster was pointless; the sheer amount of chakra it possessed was overwhelming…

Even teachers at their peak numbered less than one-thousandth of that.

Let alone one of him, even a thousand of him would have no chance of struggling against this monster.

"Mr. Orochimaru, our Doctor would like to invite you back over there for tea. What do you say?"

Standing atop the Susanoo, Emiya watched with a smile as the man on his face couldn't suppress his greed. This man wasn't afraid of the power Susanoo brought, but rather coveted it. His instinctive reaction was to want to obtain this power as well.

"Our PhD student said that as long as you can submit..."

"I surrender."

"So decisive?"

“Emiya-kun, I’m not joking about my life. I still have the ideal of achieving immortality… so I can’t die here.”

"Then congratulations, you've saved yourself thirty years of detours. You can join the research institute early to focus on what you like, and avoid being used as a tool by a bunch of teenagers later on."

"What do you mean?"

Chapter 073: Bye-D! Jiraiya, you fucking ran away all by yourself, huh?! (5/5)

"Orochimaru, the future S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha, founder of Otogakure, organizer of the Konoha Collapse Plan, a heinous criminal who personally killed the Third Hokage, inventor of the Cursed Seal Mode, spiritual mentor of the orphans of the ninja world, the fuse of the Third Shinobi World War, the perfecter of the Impure World Reincarnation, the angel investor of the reincarnation of Indra, and the dream-fulfilling master of the reincarnation of Ashura."

"Well, there's also Mitsuki's 'biological father' and 'biological mother' from the Seventh Hokage's son's team... You see, after all the twists and turns, you still ended up back in Konoha, honestly becoming a researcher? So, by avoiding thirty or forty years of detours and joining us now, you haven't wasted your precious time in life."

After capturing Orochimaru and bringing him back to where Mebius and the others were, Mr. Emiya recounted Orochimaru's legendary deeds in the ninja world as if they were his own treasures.

This includes, but is not limited to, killing one's master with one's own hands only to have those hands sealed by the master instead, nurturing Uchiha Sasuke only to be killed by him, and even being dragged out of the cursed seal in a state of fake death to be used as a tool for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

"The Seventh Hokage...who was the Fourth Hokage?"

Orochimaru was shocked as he listened to the recounting of his future deeds, but instinctively, he sought the answer to a crucial question.

"It wasn't you, it was Jiraiya..."

"Impossible! How could that idiot possibly..."

“His disciple, Minato Namikaze.”

Minato Namikaze?

How could I lose to Jiraiya's apprentice?

Orochimaru seemed a little overwhelmed by the situation...

[Orochimaru's emotional value +27]

Hearing the pleasant voice, Mr. Emiya continued with a smile, adding...

"Don't worry too much about it. Jiraiya's future students are all terrifying. There's Nagato Uzumaki, who had his Rinnegan inserted into his eyes and could kill you with a single glare. There's Naruto Uzumaki, who inherited the Six Paths Sage's Six Paths Yang Power and could easily create a Sage Technique Tailed Beast Ball... Compared to these two, Minato Namikaze is relatively 'ordinary.' He wasn't from any ninja clan; he simply cut off half of the Nine-Tails and sealed it into his body to become a perfect Jinchuriki. He also knows some Sage Techniques, created his own A-rank ninjutsu without hand seals, perfected the Flying Thunder God Technique, and has the title of the fastest ninja in the ninja world."

Byd, do you want to hear what kind of bullshit you're spouting?!

These terms sounded like gibberish to him. He understood many of the individual words, but when they were combined, he couldn't understand them at all... Could Sage Techniques and Tailed Beast Balls really be conjured up with a simple flick of the wrist?

Cutting off half of the Nine-Tails and sealing it into his own body to become a perfect Jinchūriki? Is this something an ordinary ninja can do? And he even learned Sage Mode and perfected the Flying Thunder God Technique?

The most significant one is the first one, who got a pair of Rinnegan eyes shoved into his head? Damn it... why didn't you shove a pair into me too and let me enjoy it? One eye could kill me? Jiraiya, where the hell did you get all this junk?

[Orochimaru's emotional value +37]

[Orochimaru's emotional value +21]

[Orochimaru's emotional value +15]

Although Orochimaru wanted to deny everything the man in front of him said and consider it all a lie, ... the man could transform into a Susanoo that was 300 meters tall at any time. With this power as his authority, he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of doubt.
