Underground in a secret experimental base.

Looking at the deformed piece of meat in front of him, Orochimaru could only record the results of the experiment in disappointment.

"Failed again!"

A hoarse voice sounded, with a hint of anger in it.

There is no way, a lot of materials, money and energy will be spent for a few years, and the result is no progress, and anyone will break the defense.

The corrosive nature of the mysterious cell is too strong, and once it encounters a substance that can be used for growth, it will expand rapidly and disorderly, and it is impossible to observe the growth process at all, and in the end it can only be reluctantly sealed.

Even if it was the intercolumn cell, he had also researched some results, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to carry out the Mu Dun Awakening experiment.

As for this phalange, nothing was found except that it was known that its vitality was greater than that of the intercolumnar cells.

But it is absolutely impossible for Orochimaru to give up like this, this is a more precious sample than intercolumnar cells.

In fact, after a long period of contact, he faintly felt that there seemed to be some kind of consciousness in the finger bones, but this consciousness was very chaotic, and there was no self at all.

"Orochimaru."

At this moment, Ape Flying Sun Slash appeared in the laboratory.

"Teacher? How did you get here? Have you made up your mind?"

Orochimaru asked, recording the experiment information in his hand unhurriedly, not worried that Sarutobi Hichisaki would find out that he was doing other experiments.

Because both the mystical phalanges and the intercolumnar cells are extremely aggressive, it is impossible for those who are not particularly familiar with them to distinguish between the two.

Ape Fei Ri Slash nodded, and slowly spoke, "Let the Rope Tree conduct the Wood Escape Experiment, and then seal the Nine-Tailed Chakra in his body as well."

"Possessing both Mu Dun and the Nine-Tails, this is a power that the first generation of adults did not have, and only in this way can it be possible not to lose to the people of the Vortex Country."

"Can you tell me what made the teacher change her mind suddenly?"

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi with curiosity, "When you first heard the news of Miaomu Mountain, you didn't make up your mind."

"The day Jiraiya came back, I was told that it was Uzumaki Hiwa who alone defeated him who entered the immortal mode."

At that time, this sentence directly shocked Ape Feiri.

To be honest, the first time he heard the name was from the war between the Vortex Country and the Fog Hidden Village, where Uzumaki Hiyori defeated the Shinobi Seven.

I thought that this incident was deliberately exaggerated by the Vortex Country to deter other ninja villages, but in fact, there were others who fought against the Seven.

I didn't expect Uzumaki Hiyori to really have the strength to deal with the ninja sword seven.

Orochimaru's face was expressionless, he had known about this for a long time.

Since Xia Wu went to the country of the vortex, it seems that the incredible potential of the Vortex clan has been stimulated, and the Vortex clan, which was originally known for its sealing technique, has become more and more incomprehensible.

Snake Pill left this experimental base that was checked by layers of shadows.

When he returned to the door, as a ninja, he stared at him with full vigilance, and immediately saw that someone from the family had come.

Orochimaru was surprised in his heart, and he didn't know who had broken into his house.

In the turn of his mind, he came up with four possibilities, a spy from another country, a rope tree, a jiraiya, or a Beryuhu.

He summoned several small snakes and let them in silently.

He pretended not to know anything, and pushed open the courtyard door as usual.

After entering the courtyard, Orochimaru took off his coat as he walked to the house.

When the last button was unfastened, he opened the door and threw his coat in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The kunai in his hand shot out quickly under the cover of his clothes, and was nailed to the floor.

Hearing that no other sound came from inside the house, Orochimaru wanted to make another move, but he relaxed as soon as he saw the scene inside the house.

"Why are you here? And the lights don't turn on."

Orochimaru looked helpless, and saw a white-haired hedgehog head sitting on the sofa, and the kunai was at the man's feet.

And the little snake that came out of his psychic spirit lay motionless on the ground, as if he had fainted.

Jiraiya complained, "Why don't you throw the kunai with nothing, you almost pierced my foot just now."

"Seriously, what are you looking for?"

Ignoring his complaints, Orochimaru got straight to the point.

"There are some things that are not easy to talk to others, and I want to talk to you." Jiraiya's face was bitter, and his tone was a little erratic:

"Do you know who I met in the Vortex Country this time?"

Orochimaru was silent, in his opinion, this kind of question was meaningless, and the essence was a waste of time.

Seeing his posture, Zilai also said bluntly:

"I met Tsunade in the Land of Vortex, and I came back alive this time because of her plea."

Hearing this, Orochimaru's face was silent, but his eyes were quite serious: "Tell me in detail."

Later, Jilai also told Orochimaru about the country of the vortex word for word.

"It turns out that Tsunade had such an incident before he left the village, so it's no wonder that during that time, Rope Tree would say that his sister was not quite right."

Orochimaru muttered to himself.

"Tsunade matters aside, we all know her character, and it is impossible for her to betray Konoha that her grandfather established with his own hands."

"I'm more focused on another thing, how about Kushina Uzumaki and Natsutake Uehara?"

Orochimaru's tone was calm, and his gaze at Jiraiya was full of curiosity.

Although he knew that Uehara Natsutake's strength was already the "God of the Ninja World", he still wanted to know what Jiraiya said about them.

At the mention of these two names, Jiraiya's expression was extremely serious: "I've only met them once."

"Let's talk about Kushina first, she has become a big beauty, her personality has not changed much, but she is more mature, as for the strength, I can't understand it."

Orochimaru looked up in surprise, "Huh?"

"I didn't feel the fluctuations of the chakra in the two of them, I only knew that I instinctively felt that they were strong."

Speaking of this, Jiraiya laughed at himself: "At first, I even thought that Uehara Natsutake's strength had reached the level of the first Hokage-sama, but then I felt that I was thinking too much, which was simply impossible."

"Now it seems that my speculation about him is still too conservative."

Back in Konoha, he learned a series of things about Myoki Mountain from the water gate.

At first, he was stunned, looking at Watergate in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

After confirming it again and again, he accepted the destruction of Miaomu Mountain, the death of the Great Toad Immortal in battle, and the sealing of the souls of the first and second Hokages by Uehara Natsutake.

Even now, he felt unreal when he thought about it, and he couldn't understand that the seven or eight-year-old child was so strong now.

It's like he didn't know why Xia Wu went to Miaomu Mountain, and why he killed the big toad immortal, and finally

But let the other toads go.

Could it be because of the prophecy that the toad immortal said?

"What are you going to do next?" Do you still want to look for the so-called children of prophecy?"

"Hmm. I believe that the Child of Prophecy is the solution."

Jiraiya nodded without hesitation.

"Do you still believe that prophecy?"

Thinking of the first prophecy that the Great Toad Immortal had given him, he replied slowly, "Believe."

Then he left with firm steps.

"Prophecy?"

Gazing at Jiraiya's back, Orochimaru was sure of one thing.

"Even the immortals who made the prophecy could not avoid their own death, and indeed the immortals could not achieve eternal life."
