Chapter 350. Experiment
---
It was Kabuto who came to pick them up. As for Orochimaru... from what Kabuto said, he had rarely returned to the main base here in the Land of Rice Fields recently.
He was acting sneakily.
Last time, Kabuto secretly followed him but was discovered. Of course, he also found quite a few strange things afterward.
For example, at a certain base at night, something was always being secretly transported.
Once, he took the opportunity to intercept it... only to find it was full of all sorts of random junk.
How to describe it~
It was all stuff you could just order online.
And with free shipping!
It completely baffled him!
Just what exactly was this Konoha rogue ninja, Orochimaru, up to?!
Of course.
After hearing Kabuto's words, Yuto immediately understood where Root Group's outsourcing factory had been sourced from.
"If that's the case, then where does he get the money to pay salaries?" Kabuto frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Some time ago, it seems there was even trouble because he couldn't pay wages. Also, with low pay, little security, and high demands here, how could anyone be willing to work for him?"
Especially that guy Orochimaru... all he did was draw big, pie-in-the-sky promises!
Always talking big in front of him, without any real action!
"I don't know either, but don't underestimate Orochimaru," Yuto said with a smile, shaking his head. "He's actually pretty good at bewitching people!"
"Do you need me to investigate?"
"No need to bother with him. We just need to do our own work properly~. More money or less doesn't matter. Besides, I still need his help~," Yuto casually waved his hand, then looked at the still-calm Kabuto. "If there's a chance, we should still go to Ryuchi Cave. All three Sage Regions have Senjutsu. It's worth a try~"
Although in the later stages, Senjutsu and Chakra weren't as useful as Taijutsu or Kenjutsu, overall... learning more is still a good thing!
"I'll ask him about it later~ see what price he asks!"
"..."
Since when could the Three Sage Regions be measured by money?
Kabuto gave Yuto a strange look, then glanced at Suzune next to him, and after some thought said, "The experiment was very successful. Aunt Suzune doesn't need to worry~"
Of course, if Yuto knew what Kabuto was thinking, he would probably laugh... after all, the internet line for Mount Myoboku was set up by the Yuto Group. Getting a spot from Orochimaru for money? What's the big deal about that?!
He even heard that nowadays, even Jiraiya, if he wanted Gamabunta to come out and work, had to pay a top-up of 648!
As he finished speaking, Suzune smiled and nodded, "Sorry for troubling you, Kabuto. When we were coming, Nono even came specially to find us, asking where you had gone to study. She said you hadn't returned to the village to visit her for a long time!"
"Director?" Kabuto smiled and pushed his glasses up, saying, "I had originally planned to return, but things got a bit busy recently. Orochimaru, for some reason, kept leaving frequently, so many experiments here needed me to watch over them!"
Speaking of which—
When the Director had brought him back to the village back then, he had also been well cared for by Aunt Suzune.
Except for this one guy...
Who always wanted to be his father—which was just too annoying. So afterward, whenever the Director visited that guy's house, he would find a way to run off!
Saying that, he figured it was about time.
He looked at Aunt Suzune, then at the woman with pure white Byakugan eyes—Konoha Jonin, Hyuga Hanabi—and sighed inwardly.
Then, he stood up and said, "I'll go make a call to Orochimaru. He should be back in two or three days!"
After speaking, he turned and left.
Meanwhile, Hanabi... kept watching him curiously.
Of course.
She had also been here for several years already, so she was quite familiar with Kabuto too.
A very good boy~
Although in her original world, Kabuto eventually returned to Konoha, inherited Director Nono's will, and became a gentle orphanage director, seeing the current Kabuto... still made her feel a little melancholic.
What a fate!
Thinking back to when Root was disbanded, as the Hyuga Clan Leader, she had learned quite a bit about the darkness behind it all.
One could say—
If Director Nono hadn't been killed back then, perhaps in her world, Kabuto would also have become an excellent Konoha medical ninja very early on, instead of waging war against Konoha out of hatred!
She sighed with emotion.
Indeed... that old guy deserved to go bankrupt and be harshly pursued by debt collectors!
She made up her mind!
From today onwards, she would boycott anything from Root Group!
...
Three days later.
Orochimaru indeed came, just as Yakushi Kabuto had said.
However, when he saw that Yuto had actually brought along another girl from the main family of the Hyuga clan, he was a little surprised, and instantly imagined a scene in his mind...
A main family rebellion!
The main family girl was dissatisfied with the current Clan Leader's leadership, so she made a deal with Uchiha Yuto using the Caged Bird Mark, obtained huge financial support, and planned to overthrow the current Hyuga Clan Leader and become the Clan Leader herself!
Otherwise—
He really couldn't understand... Why would this main family girl hand over the secrets of the Hyuga clan to an outsider when the Hyuga clan had not been exterminated??!
Of course.
None of this concerned him.
Konoha is in chaos, so it's a mess! That kind of Konoha... might as well be destroyed!
Just thinking about the last Dance Tournament made his heart ache, and he even felt an impulse to take his Impure World Reincarnation workers and go destroy Konoha!
Then Doctor Orochimaru briefly explained the basics of the curse mark.
If the curse mark within the soul could be successfully removed, then that would mean the Caged Bird Mark had been broken!
It sounded like a rather troublesome process, and there was a chance of failure. Especially the Byakugan... it might be destroyed just like that. Although Orochimaru promised that even if it failed, there would be no danger to life, and even if the eyes were ruined, he could transplant a new pair... Yuto was still a bit worried.
Anyway, it wouldn't be passed down to their children.
Maybe it was better to just forget about it!
As for any Hyuga who dared to use the Caged Bird to threaten them...
They clearly hadn't seen the might of his three-tomoe Sharingan and his "money power" yet!
However—
Suzune still firmly expressed her wish to try.
After all, as Uchiha Suzune, what did it look like to have a Caged Bird Mark on her forehead?!
Even if her eyes were ruined, it didn't matter, as long as the curse could be broken. As for the Hyuga clan's Byakugan... what did that have to do with Uchiha Suzune?
If it weren't for Yuto back then... she probably would have already died on the battlefield!
She didn't have her brother's talent. As a branch member of the Hyuga clan... in the midst of war, her only fate would have been to sacrifice herself.
If she still carried the Caged Bird Mark, her heart could never bear to wear the pure white wedding kimono that symbolized purity.
Therefore.
She wanted to try!
Just like Hizashi, as long as there was even a sliver of possibility, she would not give up!
Seeing her determination, Yuto fell silent for a moment. Then, he turned his head... staring straight at Orochimaru, his three-tomoe Sharingan spinning directly, "Don't play any tricks. I know you're an extremely dangerous guy. If any accident happens..."
His tone was full of meaning.
At this point, he stopped speaking.
"Of course~ I still have some credibility! After all, Boss Yuto paid a high price~" Orochimaru could feel the dangerous gaze from Yuto, and even his heart tightened a little. You know... he didn't feel such a danger from his sensei. Smiling slyly, he licked his lips, "What a fascinating pair of eyes. Just a mere three tomoe, and already such terrifying chakra. I'm becoming more and more curious about your body!"
"Don't worry, I'm the man you can't get!"
"..."
The three people nearby all had black lines on their faces as they looked at Orochimaru and Yuto in front of them!
The originally tense atmosphere had become strangely awkward!
Even Orochimaru's face was full of black lines, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. In the end, he gave an awkward laugh, then looked at Suzune, "Well then... shall we start now?"
As he finished speaking—
"Mmm, I..." Suzune took a deep breath, about to nod.
But she was directly interrupted by Yuto, "Start what? Rest for a day first!" He grabbed her hand directly, "Let's go! We'll go back to the room and discuss it. We'll start tomorrow!"
Just like that.
Amidst a wave of black lines.
Yuto pulled Suzune away, heading toward their room.
