Orochimaru's laboratory is built on the edge of the village, away from the crowds, very remote and quiet.

Some time ago, for convenience, Orochimaru simply moved his residence and moved it to the laboratory.

For two months, Orochimaru has been buried in the laboratory, and he will not leave easily unless necessary.

All kinds of circumstances made Yanmen have to wonder if Orochimaru was secretly studying something.

Can't you think about it again, and secretly study how to live forever, right?

Well, if he can live forever, Yanmen actually wants to, but the method of the Great Snake Pill, then what is not reincarnation, he can't look down on it.

It is not without the immortality methods of the Eight Classics, such as resurrecting the Ten Tails, planting the Divine Tree, and becoming the Pillar Force of the Ten Tails.

Another example is learning immortal arts, as long as you reach the level of slug immortals and big toad immortals, you can live forever, and you can live for 1,800 years no matter how bad it is.

And then again, Yanmen is still so young now, he doesn't need to think about immortality at all, and he will have time to think about it in the future.

······

After a while, Yanmen came to the northern end of the village, near the edge, near the Death Forest, where Orochimaru's laboratory was located.

Dark, damp, quiet......

The rotten branches and leaves on the ground emitted a musty smell, and they creaked when they were stepped on by the Yanmen.

As he walked, Yanmen suddenly paused, his eyes swept around, and he just saw several thumb-sized poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, under the leaves, and in the caves, their bodies swimming carefully, and the snakes stared at Yanmen secretly, and kept spitting out letters in their mouths, as if they wanted to identify this uninvited guest who suddenly broke in by smell.

At the same time, one of them has sneaked into the laboratory, and if nothing else, it should have been to ventilate.

Yanmen paused for a moment, then continued to walk towards the laboratory with a smile on his face.

Orochimaru's laboratory was built in a cave, which was open in all directions, the passage was dark and damp, and from time to time water seeped down from above, ticking and ticking, and the ground was pierced through several small holes, and then accumulated into small puddles.

Yanmen stepped through a puddle of water and walked purposefully towards one of the passages.

Don't look at Yanmen, it's the first time to come, but through Kagura's heart's eye, he can accurately locate the location of Orochimaru.

With the exact location of the Great Snake Pill, these passages in front of him that extended in all directions would naturally not be able to hinder the Yan Gate.

Da, da......

The sound of clear footsteps echoed through the deep passages.

Suddenly, Yanmen stopped and stared ahead, in front of him, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness, becoming clearer and clearer, it was the cold-faced Snake Monarch Orochimaru.

Yanmen grinned: "Uninvited, please don't be surprised by the senior of Orochimaru." ”

Xu hadn't seen the sun for too long, which made Orochimaru's already pale skin even more eerie, like a ghost, and ordinary people would have nightmares at night when they saw it.

However, Yanmen is obviously not an ordinary person, even if Orochimaru is now dressed in white and has long flowing hair, Yanmen is still very calm, and there is still a little smile on his face.

In his previous life, he wasn't afraid of that thing, let alone now.

As long as you are bold, Nie Xiaoqian will take maternity leave immediately!

No matter how bold you are, the dryad grandma can also take a holiday.

······

Orochimaru stared at Yanmen, was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke, his voice very hoarse: "Yanmen-kun, why are you here?" Can I help you? ”

Yanmen didn't answer, but asked: "Senior Orochimaru, it's convenient to tell me what you've been busy with lately, Rope Tree has been a bit resentful recently, and he always said that if you don't accompany him to practice, Shizune and Xiuyi's strength is about to surpass him." ”

When it comes to the rope tree, Orochimaru is very helpless, he said: "Recently, there was an experiment that reached a critical period, and I have been busy, and I really can't spare my hands. ”

"Are you done now?" Yanmen asked again.

Orochimaru bowed his head slightly and said, "Almost, it has reached the final stage, and it can be done tomorrow at the latest." ”

Yanmen smiled and said, "That's right, there is just a task tomorrow that needs to trouble you." ”

Orochimaru was stunned, and quickly said, "What task?" ”

For the task, Orochimaru is not exclusive, just check his task record, a proper task master, a model worker in Konoha , and the amount of task completion of ordinary people is not even a fraction of his.

Not to mention anything else, he has completed hundreds of A-class tasks alone, so you can imagine how many tasks he has completed.

Therefore, when he heard that there was a task, his first reaction was not to refuse, but to directly ask what the task was.

Yanmen smiled, "It's not a big task, it's mainly responsible for welcoming the Thunder Shadow and them, as well as the daimyos and nobles of various countries." ”

After listening to Orochimaru, he asked, "Let me go and greet me?" Tsunade arranged? ”

"That's right, Tsunade-sensei arranged it."

At this moment, Yanmen never mentioned that this was his proposal.

Orochimaru frowned slightly: "Why don't you go?" ”

Orochimaru thought to himself, this kind of thing should be in charge of Yanmen, the future fifth generation, how could he let him, an idler, be responsible.

Yanmen said helplessly: "Senior Orochimaru, do you think I am suitable?" When they saw me, one by one, they probably wanted to strangle me on the spot. ”

Orochimaru: "......"

Yes, this kid has offended too many people, let him go to greet him, and the other villages may not help but wonder if Konoha wants to provoke them.

After thinking for a while, Orochimaru nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

Yanmen suddenly smiled, then tilted his head slightly, looked behind Orochimaru, and said, "Don't you invite me to go in and have a look?" It's all here, isn't it too much to go in and have a glass of water? ”

For what Orochimaru is researching, Yanmen is a little curious, and recently he has also been studying the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Forbidden Technique, but the progress is relatively slow, and in the end, he needs the help of Orochimaru.

It would be nice if Yakushidou was born earlier, in that case, maybe there would be no trouble with Orochimaru, but it's a pity......

Orochimaru's eyes moved slightly, and then he shook his head and refused: "Another day, I have to hurry up now and finish the business at hand, unless...... You take over this task from me. ”

Yanmen's expression froze, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Uh, forget it." ”

······

After a while, Yanmen walked out of the cave tunnel, he stopped slightly, and glanced back.

After a pause for a few seconds, Yanmen withdrew his gaze and left.

Soon after Yanmen left, Orochimaru's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and he looked at Yanmen's back until he disappeared, and then he turned around and returned to the cave.

The venomous snakes outside the cave returned to their original positions, carefully hidden.

In the blink of an eye, silence returned to the area around the cave.

After leaving Orochimaru's experimental base, Yanmen went straight to the land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

After asking the servant, Yanmen found the rope tree.

At this time, Rope Tree was practicing ninjutsu in the courtyard, to be precise, he was learning the nature of the earth attribute chakra.

Don't look at the rope tree is usually stupid, but his strength is really good at his age, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius.

Kakashi, who has always been known for his genius, was promoted to Shinobi at the age of twelve, but Rope Tree is actually not bad, let's just say Chakra nature, a few months ago, that is, on the eve of the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War, Rope Tree had already mastered the water attribute Chakra nature, so his water escape ninjutsu would be so strong, and at that time, Rope Tree was only fourteen years old.

Therefore, don't look at the current level of Rope Tree is only a middle ninja, but his strength has already reached the level of special upper ninja, if it weren't for Tsunade deliberately pressing him, he would have been promoted to special ninja a long time ago.

"Young, practicing."

Yanmen quipped as soon as he came up.

Phew.

The two pairs of eyes instantly looked at Yanmen.

"Yanmen, why are you here?"

Rope Tree and his shadow clone spoke at the same time.

Yes, Rope Tree is also using shadow clones for cultivation, but he is not as perverted as Yanmen and Naruto, he only dares to use one shadow clone at a time, and he can't bear it anymore.

Of course, when it comes to cultivation, it doesn't matter if you have a few more points when you are fighting, after all, when fighting, shadow clones often don't survive for more than a minute, so even ordinary people can use shadow clones to fight.

"Come and see you, there are some things I want to know from you by the way."

Along the way, Yanmen thought about it carefully, and he was still a little worried about Orochimaru, so he planned to ask Rope Tree about the situation and see if he could learn something from him.

"Ask me about something?" Rope Tree was stunned, "You actually have something to ask me about the situation!" ”

Saying that, the rope tree was actually happy, and he grinned and smirked, like the stupid son of the landlord's family.

“……”

"Say, let Uncle Ben listen, you have something to ask me." Rope tree said triumphantly.

All along, Yanmen gave him the feeling that he was omniscient and omnipotent, so when he heard that Yanmen had something to ask him, his first reaction was to be happy.

Hahaha, there are still things you Yanmen doesn't know? That's great.

Yanmen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked directly, "Do you know what Orochimaru has been busy with lately?" I went to see him just now, but he was so mysterious that he wouldn't even let me in the lab. ”

"Orochimaru-sensei?" Rope Tree was suddenly stunned, and then he shook his head: "I don't know, I asked, but he didn't tell me." As for the laboratory you mentioned, I went in and looked at it, and there was nothing to see in it, except for a lot of incomprehensible experimental data and experimental equipment, and there were some death row inmates left, and they were bored to death. ”

Rope tree shrugged his head, looking uninterested.

"What kind of experimental data, have you read it?" Yanmen's eyes moved and asked.

"I took a few looks, just some cells or something, I just looked at it a few times and didn't look at it, what is the specific content, well, I don't have an impression." Rope Tree pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Wait a minute, why are you suddenly asking this?" Rope Tree stared at Yanmen suspiciously.

"It's nothing, just ask curiously." Yanmen touched his nose and thought, the cells ...... Could it be that Orochimaru is secretly studying intercolumnar cells?

Why does Orochimaru want to study intercolumnar cells, it doesn't make sense, Tuanzang was killed by me, where did he go to get intercolumnar cells, and besides, why did he study intercolumnar cells?

Just when Yanmen was deep in thought, the voice of the rope tree directly woke him up, and Yanmen was a little annoyed, but in the next second, he looked at the face of the rope tree, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

I'll go, Orochimaru shouldn't want to help Rope Tree awaken Mu Dun, right?

The more Yanmen thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, after all, there was nothing to say about the importance that Orochimaru attached to the disciple of Rope Tree, and he seemed to regard Rope Tree as his own relative.

Uh, it's not a son, it's supposed to be a younger brother or something.

In this way, Orochimaru's motivation to study intercolumnar cells is there, as for where he got intercolumnar cells...... Well, he's a big snake pill, and if you want to get it, the probability of getting it is still very high.

"Hey, Yanmen, are you listening to me?"

Rope tree gets angry, he finally recalls a little information and wants to tell it to Yanmen, but Yanmen ignores him.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I just got distracted," Yanmen smiled dumbly and said, "What did you just want to say, say it, I'll listen." ”

Rope Shu glared at Yanmen angrily, and it took him a while before he lost his breath, and then said, "Some time ago, Orochimaru-sensei told me that when it comes to my birthday, he will give me a surprise. I asked what the surprise was, and he didn't say anything about it, but I felt it had something to do with what he was working on. ”

After hearing this, Yanmen raised his eyebrows slightly.

The birthday of the rope tree is in August, and now it is March, that is, there are almost five months left.

There are still five months to prepare a surprise with Rope Tree in advance, and it seems that there has been a breakthrough in the research of Orochimaru.

What a speed!

According to the plot of the original book, until the 48th year of Konoha and when Orochimaru defected, his research on intercolumnar cells did not make much progress.

Well, in fact, there are, among those experimental subjects, Tianzang survived by luck, but Orochimaru didn't know it, and was hidden by Tuan Zang.

This also led Orochimaru to think that his research direction was wrong, and he was not interested in intercolumnar cells at that time, so he shelved his research on intercolumnar cells.

Later, Orochimaru suffered a big loss under the kaleidoscope of Uchiha Itachi, and he directly focused most of his attention on the writing wheel, trying in every possible way to win the writing wheel of Zuosuke.

Of course, the ending is very miserable, how can Erzhuzi get a boxed lunch so easily? He's one of the main characters.

Back to the present.

It doesn't seem strange that Orochimaru didn't die like the original, and Orochimaru focused on studying the intercolumnar cells in order to prepare a gift for the rope tree, and it didn't seem strange that he had made certain results in a short period of time.

Well, if that's the case, then Orochimaru doesn't have anything to worry about here.

Of course, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, Yanmen still has to find an opportunity to sneak into the laboratory to take a look.

If it was really a study of intercolumnar cells, then Yanmen wouldn't mind helping Orochimaru.

As we all know, transplanting intercolumnar cells is very risky, and for the sake of the life of the rope tree, Yanmen naturally wants to help Orochimaru reduce the risk as much as possible and complete the experiment.

When the rope tree is successful, Tsunade can also be transplanted, even if he still can't awaken Mu Dun at that time, but to a certain extent, it can still play a role in improving strength.
