Chapter 216 Have you ever seen Susanoo set on the Nine-Tails? [Happy National Day] Platycodon Mountain. Walking into the bottomless and dark tunnel, in a huge laboratory, the figure of Uchiha Ye gradually appeared. After five years of tempering on the battlefield, the 22-year-old Uchiha Ye has become taller and stronger, with a hint of domineering between his brows. His bright eyes gave people an unquestionable sense of oppression, and his every move revealed the aura of a strong man. "Orochimaru, you are so brave that you built a laboratory under Mount Kikyo." Looking at this familiar underground passage, it is still in the same familiar style as always. When Orochimaru, who was recording research data, heard the voice behind him, he was not surprised, nor did he turn around. Instead, he laughed hoarsely and said: "Hehe... Ye Jun, is there any place safer than Kikyo Mountain? There are warnings and defensive barriers everywhere, and there are thousands of ninjas protecting this place." We have to say that Orochimaru is very bold. Since he found the direction, Orochimaru has spent all his time in the laboratory except for necessary combat missions. In the past five years, Tsunade has spent most of her time treating the wounded, so the main battlefield has gradually been taken over by Uchiha Yagito.
He was in charge of all the arrangements including the defense and combat operations in Platycodon Mountain. It can be said that in five years, Uchiha Ya not only made a name for himself, but also won the hearts of countless ninjas and had a large number of direct ninja forces under his command. "How's the research going?" At this time, Uchiha Ye looked curiously at the bodies of White Zetsu cultivated in the round vessels, and couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration. As expected of Orochimaru, he was able to carry on with his research plan even during such a high-intensity combat period. "Hehe, thanks to Tsunade's help, this white mutant species is indeed the path to immortality..." When talking about his research, Orochimaru seemed like a different person, looking at the mutated life form (White Zetsu) cultivated in the jar with excitement on his face. "In addition to the first generation of Wood Release cells, this organism also has some mutated cells, which are slightly different from Wood Release cells... and there are also life forms that are almost like plants... It is simply the masterpiece of the Creator. In recent years, research has shown that, just like plants, new clones can be cultivated through cultivation, and they are indistinguishable from each other..." Give Orochimaru a White Zetsu, and Orochimaru will be able to cultivate a lot of White Zetsu for you. "More importantly, these life forms are like plants. They don't have souls in their bodies, but they can be controlled by souls..." At this time, Orochimaru was laughing wildly and excitedly. "Lord Ye, do you know what this means? To achieve true physical immortality! If it is according to my original idea, the soul can be transferred to this kind of creature. This kind of life form has a long lifespan. More importantly! There will be no rejection from the soul, of course! This is just a preliminary study now. After all, I haven’t had time to develop the reincarnation that I envisioned…” When he said this, Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Uchiha Ye, his golden snake eyes full of greed. "Lord Ye, your body and talent are even more perfect than this life form. It should be said that your body is the most perfect work of the Creator. The ability to fuse cell constitutions, coupled with the forbidden technique you developed to devour blood... especially in the past five years, after devouring the cells of this kind of life form in your body, you have gradually evolved your own cells..." Orochimaru said excitedly that this ability is not a simple swallowing and fusion, but while swallowing external energy, it will also discard some incomplete energies that are not friendly to the body. "Hehe, I would rather call it an unparalleled speed of evolution than swallowing and fusion. An evolution that normally takes several or even dozens of generations to complete in a person's body can be completed in just a few years in your body..."
Looking at Orochimaru's fanatical look, Uchiha Ye was speechless. It happened again. Even though he had seen it many times, he was still speechless. "Orochimaru, I came here to ask about the research on the power of the tailed beasts, not this!" Seeing Uchiha Ye's unpleasant look, Orochimaru was in a very good mood and did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and squinted his eyes and said: "Mr. Ye, we are different from you. Because of the fusion of this life cell in your body, you have evolved your own longevity factor, and Tsunade and the others may be able to slowly obtain some of it through your curse seal ability... But I want to find out the real secret of this power. How did this life form come into being? And what kind of plant did it mutate from? " When he said this, Orochimaru shook his head, revealing a look of regret, and walked forward with Uchiha Ye, shaking his head and sighing: "Five years! For five whole years, we compared all the plants in the ninja world, and finally only this precious tree that can be used to make chakra test paper was partially consistent. We still haven't found the original one..." Hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Ye couldn't hide his shock. Wow, it's only been a few years! Under the joint research and development of Orochimaru and Tsunade, they have actually begun to explore the final form of White Zetsu's plant physique and are even searching for it throughout the ninja world. How could he find it? He knew clearly that Bai Zetsu was a life born from the sacred tree thousands of years ago, and his physique should be considered to have integrated the energy of the sacred tree. In today's ninja world, such plants are rare and hard to grow. The trees that can be used to make chakra test papers should be regarded as the relics of the original sacred tree, or the affected plants. "Mr. Ye, this is the chakra of the tailed beasts that have been cultivated over the years. The Eight-Tails and Two-Tails from the Hidden Cloud Village, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails from the Hidden Rock Village, and the One-Tails from the Hidden Sand Village that I got three years ago..." Inside the incubator, there were the horns of the Eight-Tails, the blue chakra flame of the Two-Tails, the horns of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails, the claws of the One-Tails, and a ball of the Nine-Tails' chakra. These are all cultivated in containers to form a prototype. It takes a lot of money and time to cultivate them into a decent shape. "The power of the tailed beasts!?" Looking at the six huge culture vessels in front of him, Orochimaru laughed hoarsely: "We have already collected the chakra of six of the nine tailed beasts. Now we are still short of the three-tailed, six-tailed, and seven-tailed beasts. However, the chakra of the tailed beasts may be valuable, but I am afraid that your idea is difficult, Ye Jun." Orochimaru shook his head, showing a rare lack of interest. “The nine tailed beasts are equivalent to nine independent life forms. It is too difficult to merge them together, even if they are summoned beasts of different species, or even ninjas! Everyone's chakra is unique. It is theoretically difficult to fuse and create a new existence. Although this research is very valuable, our focus should be on longevity for now..." It is obvious that Orochimaru might have been interested in this research at the beginning, but after discovering that it would consume more of his energy, he chose to prioritize the research of longevity. As for the power of the tailed beasts, he will naturally continue to study it, but research on fusion has almost come to a standstill. However, after hearing this, Uchiha Ye smiled and said: "Orochimaru, although human life is limited and I understand your thoughts, research is never achieved overnight. We must always maintain the interest in continuous exploration so that we can keep going." Uchiha Ye admired the masterpiece in the vessel, as if he was looking at a fine work of art. The fusion of the nine tailed beasts could only be achieved by the power of the Six Paths, and even the power of the Six Paths would take a long time. Otherwise, after Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared, she would have completely fused the nine tailed beasts. After all, the Six Paths divided the Ten Tails into nine tailed beasts thousands of years ago, and they have long since become new species, making it more difficult to merge them. What he cultivated was pure chakra. From the perspective of fusion, it would be relatively much easier without the resistance of the will of individual living beings. "The Three-Tail and the Six-Tail are in the Hidden Mist Village. Maybe you, Ye-kun, should go there."
Suddenly, under Orochimaru's hoarse smile, after hearing this, Uchiha Ye seemed to understand something and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile on his face. "Orochimaru, it seems that there is some information in the village that I don't know. You actually already know that the future me will be arranged to the battlefield of the Hidden Mist Village." It was obvious that the old man in the village contacted Orochimaru, and Orochimaru actually knew the arrangements for the next battlefield. Orochimaru laughed hoarsely and looked at Uchiha Ye with a look of pure greed. "Since the war began, Ye Jun's name has spread throughout the ninja world, especially in the village where countless ninjas who yearn for power worship Ye Jun. Your existence has made the people in the rear feel fear..." A powerful and invincible legendary ninja will be loved and followed by countless ninjas on the battlefield, and followed by a direct force named Uchiha Ye. "It's very boring. In this world, instead of pursuing endless power, people put power above power. However, ignorant people never understand that the power of this world is generated by strength." After hearing this, Uchiha Ye couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain. This group of people have never seen through the true meaning of this world. From the beginning to the end, power serves strength. When you lose power, you lose everything. On the contrary, when you have power, you have everything. Power is an appendage of strength, and is also a product of accelerating the strengthening of strength. Power will only dissipate without strength, but strength will never betray! Orochimaru's hoarse laughter was heard from the dim laboratory. "So they can only go so far, but our ambitions will never end and will keep us going forward." With a disgusting retching sound, Orochimaru took out an intelligence roll and threw it to Uchiha Ye. "This is the most secret of the village. After the Iwa Ninja attacked our rear and intercepted the intelligence, they ordered the Jonin Namikaze Minato, who is proficient in time and space ninjutsu, to carry out the mission of destroying the Kannabi Bridge. We need to cooperate on the battlefield head-on." After seeing this information, Uchiha Ye already understood the village's plan. They were preparing to make Namikaze Minato famous. "Oh, I see. These old guys aren't completely useless after all. They actually seized this opportunity." When he understood the plans of these old guys, Uchiha Ye smiled. "The Kannabi Bridge is the only way from the Iwagakure Village to the front line. Once it is blown up, the Iwagakure Ninja must shrink their defenses. After all, the economies of the major ninja villages are already stretched to the limit and they cannot afford to be careless." If the major ninja villages had sufficient economic and material supplies at the beginning of the war, it would not be a problem even if the Kannabi Bridge was destroyed. But now all the major ninja villages are tightening their belts. Once something happens at Kannabi Bridge, the Iwagakure will definitely shrink their front lines. "Once the Iwagakure shrinks its defenses, even if Kikyoyama is only facing the Kumogakure and Sandgakure, or even as the Iwagakure retreats, we will take back the border and push the war to the small countries on the border." Uchiha Ye saw through the plans of the old guys in the village at a glance. "Destroy the Kannabi Bridge, and then be a hero who can change the entire battlefield situation by himself. Tsk tsk... I can already imagine what kind of hurricane will blow in the ninja world." Under Uchiha Ye's sarcastic smile, no one understood this group of people's plans better than him. Minato Namikaze's extraordinary achievements, coupled with his contribution to the war and his influence on the entire war situation, make him the hero of Konoha! "Then, Lord Ye, how do you break the impasse? Or how do you get there before the Kannabi Bridge is destroyed?" Under Orochimaru's meaningful smile, if it were someone else, he would definitely sell out the information of this mission and let the Iwagakure heavily guard the Kamubi Bridge. But knowing the Uchiha character well and knowing the pride that comes from Uchiha Ye's bones, he would absolutely disdain such means.
From a conspiracy perspective, this kind of thing would leave a handle, and once exposed, Uchiha Ya would have no chance of becoming Hokage at all, and might even become a laughing stock in the ninja world. One for the sake of Hokage, the other out of jealousy, destroyed the key to Konoha's victory. Such people will only be despised. But Uchiha Ye's ninja way and will would not do that. "Konoha was founded by us Uchiha and Senju. I am just taking back what belongs to us." Uchiha Ye's indifferent voice echoed, indicating that he would never consider doing something that would harm others and himself. "Oh, in that case, if it succeeds, the Rock Ninja will shrink their defenses, and we will take the opportunity to recapture the border. I'm afraid Ye Jun will have to go to the Kirigakure battlefield next." Orochimaru shrugged his shoulders, looking casual, but his light golden snake eyes looked at the laboratory with a look of regret. "It's a pity for this laboratory. It seems that we need to move it in advance." Orochimaru seemed unable to think of any way to break the impasse, but at this moment Uchiha Ye's mouth curled up and revealed a smile. "Orochimaru, have you ever seen the Nine-Tails wearing Susanoo…?" Uchiha Ye's light words surprised Orochimaru. Then he seemed to have thought of something and licked his lips excitedly and said hoarsely: "Is it the Susanoo Nine-Tails like Uchiha Madara from the battle at the Valley of the End as recorded by the Senju clan!?" At this time, Uchiha Ye gently stroked the vessel that cultivated the tailed beast in front of him, and smiled softly: "During these five years, it's not just Orochimaru who has grown, everyone has grown, even our enemies! And Kushina as well... Now Kushina can maintain the Vulpix state for ten minutes..." 'Maintain the Vulpix state for ten minutes.' These nine words echoed in the dim laboratory, and Orochimaru smiled excitedly after hearing them. "Oh, I see. It seems that Ye Jun intends to rely on his absolute strength to fight to the border." When Uchiha Ye turned around and walked outside, Orochimaru's voice came from behind him. He waved his hand and said: "It's not me, it's us! You, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, we will join forces to take back the border we have lost for many years." I wish you all a happy National Day. (End of this chapter)
