Chapter 228 The Amulet That Protects Orochimaru Orochimaru's second task is cloning. This was also a subject that Obiru was unable to handle on his own and had to seek help from Orochimaru for technical support. Later, after Orochimaru was dragged on board by Shiba Kiyokawa, he shared Konoha's cloning technology, but Obito's own progress was always slow. Recently, Orochimaru probably noticed the village's wariness and alienation towards him, and took the initiative to deepen his ties with the Akatsuki organization, so he personally came to support the projects on cloning and genetic debugging. As he spoke, Orochimaru raised his hand and summoned a delicate little girl. Looking at this child, Shiba Kiyokawa was very surprised. “Is it already this big?” Orochimaru smiled and said, "In the middle, chakra was used to ripen the embryo, and then the growth was accelerated many times in the culture tank. These are all supporting technologies for cloning. I have sorted them out and handed them over to Obiru." Shiba Kiyokawa turned his head and looked at Hokuroko. Beiliuhu crossed his arms and said with a look of frustration: "Yes, he gave it to me, but I still need some time to study it."
From this we can see that Okuroko's scientific research level is still not as good as Orochimaru's. In response to this, Shiba Qinghe just smiled gently, and did not blame him. Instead, he comforted her: "It's okay, take your time, you have done very well, and the current glory of the Rain Country is inseparable from your efforts. You can be more confident, Beiluhu." No matter how powerful Orochimaru is, he is only a temporary ally, while Obito is the one who is fully loyal to us. Shiba Kiyokawa still understands this point. Then he looked at the little girl beside Orochimaru - she had a cute oval face with a little baby fat, big eyes, clean black pupils, and short hair that reached her ears. However, one could still tell her feminine beauty and gentleness at a glance. The girl had only been out for a while, and she stood beside Orochimaru with an expressionless face. She was neither panicked nor curious, and her emotions were extremely stable. Shiba Qinghe squatted down and looked at the girl's calm face, feeling a little curious for a moment. "You are so calm." The girl tilted her head and said in confusion: "I just don't know what expression to make at this moment." Shiba Qinghe was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly laughed, a laugh full of nostalgia. He suddenly thought of his memories of his past life, so he blurted out: "At this time, you just need to smile." “Smile…?” The girl responded in a daze, and then really tried to pull up the corners of her mouth, revealing a very gentle smile. Beside him, Hiruhu muttered, "I really don't know why you insisted on choosing this girl as your first clone target. What's so special about this girl? We already have so many bloodline ninja materials in our hands." With Orochimaru's secret help, the research institute's material library is now unprecedentedly rich. But Shiba Kiyokawa just smiled mysteriously and said, "You will understand it later, Orochimaru, don't forget what I said, you must always keep this girl with you. When the critical moment comes, she can save your life." Orochimaru smiled and responded, "Okay." It can be seen that Orochimaru did not believe what Shiba Qinghe said. He simply felt that there was no need to disrupt the existing cooperation over such a small matter.
It’s just an experimental material, so just take it with you. Then Shiba Kiyokawa reached out, touched the little girl's head, and said softly, "From now on, you will be called Linboli." The cloned girl Lin Boli nodded obediently. Although she had just walked out of the incubator not long ago, she seemed to have understood a lot of things and had no resistance or rejection to Shiba Kiyokawa's arrangements. After showing the results of the two projects, Orochimaru casually threw over two scrolls, then walked to the closet beside him, took off his white laboratory coat and prepared to leave. "This contains Konoha's recent movements and the latest intelligence on Sunagakure. Qinghe-kun, I will definitely advance my battle plan by April this year at the latest." Upon hearing the news, Shiba Qinghe immediately understood. "Can't delay any longer? Haha, it seems that those old guys in Konoha are determined not to choose you." Hearing this, Orochimaru's face did not show any fluctuation. He was still indifferent to it as usual. If Uncle Snake once had some sense of responsibility towards the village, he had a very pure mission for his identity as a front-line commander. Now, after Shiba Kiyokawa forcibly accelerated his "evil fall" process, he no longer cares about those ties and responsibilities. As the saying goes, grief is greater than death. When you no longer feel disappointed when faced with a betrayal, that is the moment when all ties are completely severed. "Please contact the acting Kazekage as soon as possible to make arrangements. I will not specifically inform her when I launch the campaign. You promised not to stop me from ending this war, Qinghe-kun, I hope you won't go back on your word on this matter." At that moment, Orochimaru's look back was exceptionally cold and resolute. Shiba Qinghe nodded: "Of course, you can rest assured that I, Shiba Qinghe, will definitely do what I promised." "That would be perfect." After saying that, Orochimaru had already changed his clothes, put on Konoha's ninja vest again, and left with the clone girl without looking back. Although he has made up his mind to leave the village, Orochimaru still has to go back to give an explanation to his former subordinates - he wants to end the war with Sunagakure with his own hands, which is the promise he once made to all his followers! At that moment, even Obiru, who had long since broken up with Orochimaru, couldn't help but sigh. "He could have just defected." In the original work, Orochimaru still needed the village's resources, equipment, venues and funds after the war, but now, these can be provided to him by the Akatsuki organization. But Orochimaru still chose to go back first to complete his last mission as a front-line commander. Then Beiliuhu looked at his boss with a strange expression. "You actually let him go like this? Could that cloned girl be a secret weapon to silence her?" Shiba Kiyokawa: "Do I look like someone who has no credibility or bottom line?" Beiliuhu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, his expression clearly asking: Aren’t you? Shiba Qinghe rolled his eyes at Beiluhu in annoyance, "That girl is not a weapon to silence people, she is really a talisman to save Orochimaru's life."
Bei Liuhu was puzzled: "A little girl of four or five years old can save the life of Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas? Is this true?" Shiba Qinghe smiled and didn't explain. He just said, "It won't be long before you know the answer." This won’t take long, it really doesn’t take long. Just two days later, Uchiha Obito, who had turned evil and was bent on revenge, arrived at the front line of River Country. He had already learned from the special jonin of Konoha that there were two suspects: Root and Orochimaru. Unfortunately, he had never heard of the roots before. There's nothing we can do about it. He was just an insignificant little shrimp before he turned evil, and he knew very little about the dark side of Konoha. But he must know Orochimaru! One of the three ninjas, a front-line commander, his name is well-known. So he chose to find Orochimaru first. Now that Obito has completely fallen into darkness, he will no longer be merciful to anyone, even the frontline commander of Konoha, he will never show mercy if he has the chance! However, the moment he actually approached Orochimaru's front-line residence, violent emotions immediately erupted! At that moment, Obito's Sharingan spun wildly, his heartbeat accelerated exponentially, and he seemed to be trapped in a terrible illusion. In the blink of an eye, his back was completely wet with cold sweat. "Lin..." He looked at the cloned girl beside Orochimaru and unconsciously fell into a long trance. That’s right, the prototype of the clone Rinpoli is exactly – Nohara Rin! This is a miracle created with the help of the small tube of Lin's blood that Shiba Qinghe had drawn on the Kirigakure battlefield! (End of this chapter)
