Chapter 437 Forbidden Art of Immortality: Reincarnation of the Undying Corpse, Planning for the Future
"Lord Orochimaru, you will be in charge of taking over Root and reorganizing it into the Root Research Institute, returning it to the command of the Anbu."
"However, as the Hokage, I must remind you that I can pretend I didn't know about your previous dealings with Danzo and let it go. But from now on, I expect that any research you conduct will be carried out without harming your comrades."
"This is my bottom line as the Fourth Hokage..."
Watching the Third Hokage and his two advisors leave with Danzo's body, the Fourth Hokage took a deep breath and stared at Orochimaru with a solemn warning.
He had witnessed the Root's experiments. Although the current practice of conducting live experiments on criminals and ninjas from other villages had not crossed his bottom line, he could not allow Orochimaru to continue his reckless actions, otherwise it would become another hidden bomb.
Therefore, it is necessary to have Kakashi as the vice-captain of the Anbu to supervise and check each other, and Ishikawa's arrangement is without any problems.
"Of course, I am Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha and the captain of the Anbu. How could I do anything to harm my comrades..." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and nodded hoarsely, showing no objection.
He now controls the Dark Division and Root. If he strengthens his subordinates and sends them out on missions to change their targets from killing to capturing prisoners, wouldn't that be the perfect test subject?
Now that there are four generations of supporters for conducting reasonable and compliant experimental research, who would be willing to secretly ruin their future?
"Then I'll leave this to you, Lord Orochimaru." After giving a deep look at the Root members, the Fourth Hokage gave a word of advice and disappeared in a flash of golden light with Kakashi.
He needed to explain some things to Kakashi to prevent him from being unaware of the serious consequences.
But the Fourth Hokage ran away, leaving Orochimaru, who was about to ask for the forbidden technique, frozen in place!
Could the Fourth Hokage be lying to him?
That shouldn't be the case. Now that he has control of both the Anbu and Root, isn't the Fourth Hokage afraid that he might betray him and side with Sarutobi-sensei?
"call out--"
Just as Orochimaru stood there, bewildered and uncertain, a whooshing sound suddenly rang in his ears.
Orochimaru instinctively reached out and grabbed it, only to find a scroll suddenly appearing in his hand.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Orochimaru quickly activated the technique. His pupils dilated, his heart heaved, and his breathing became rapid. [The Reanimation Jutsu, achieving immortality through soul transference by changing body containers, I see...]
Just as Orochimaru was overjoyed and horrified, Ishikawa appeared in an instant.
"These are the conditions I agreed to, Captain Orochimaru. However, given your current physical condition, you shouldn't need this technique for the time being."
With a snap, Orochimaru slammed the scroll shut, his eyes filled with greedy anticipation as he gripped it tightly, licking his lips. "Indeed, I won't need this forbidden technique for at least the next twenty years."
That being said, having and not having are two different concepts.
Before this, he felt he didn't have enough time to fulfill his dream of learning all ninjutsu, but now he no longer has to worry about that.
With this technique of immortality, let alone just giving up the struggle for power and serving four generations, he wouldn't hesitate at all even if he were offered the position of Daimyo!
"Wait, why would the Fourth Hokage use this technique to win me over? With his intelligence, he couldn't possibly be unaware of its value." Suddenly, Orochimaru realized something and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Although he considered himself extraordinary, his value was still far too low compared to the true art of immortality!
As long as the Fourth Hokage Minato lives forever, what does it matter if he's one of the legendary Sannin...?
"I'm sorry, there's something you might have misunderstood." Ishikawa didn't hide anything, instead giving me a knowing look and speaking calmly, "This technique isn't the Fourth Hokage's forbidden technique?"
"It's not the Fourth Hokage's forbidden technique!!" Orochimaru was instantly stunned, his eyes glazed over, not understanding what Ishikawa meant.
"All you need to know is that this is the simplest and most barbaric forbidden technique for achieving immortality. True immortality and invincibility are on another path..." With this meaningful bombshell, Ishikawa patted Rin on the shoulder and disappeared.
The reason he dared to give Orochimaru a copy of the Reanimation Jutsu without fear of Orochimaru running away was because he was certain that Orochimaru possessed a scientific spirit that pursued progress.
Research on the Otsutsuki clan requires top-tier talent like Orochimaru!
"Immortality and invincibility? Another path..." Orochimaru muttered to himself, his eyes flashing as he stared at the spot where Ishikawa had disappeared. In an instant, he felt that the forbidden technique in his hand was no longer appealing!
A forbidden technique for longevity that can be casually thrown out by the opponent is definitely not the best or strongest secret technique.
"It seems you're no ordinary ANBU brat. Interesting, the future of Konoha is getting more and more interesting..." After a pause, Orochimaru turned to look at the Root ninjas gathered to the side.
"Aburame Ryoma, it's been a long time!" Orochimaru stepped forward and looked directly at one of them, his tone wistful.
"Lord Orochimaru..."
Ryoma Aburame and the other Root members hurriedly knelt down to show their submission, showing no resistance to Orochimaru, the newly appointed leader of Root.
This is the prestige of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!
"Come in with me. The seal of your tongue-torn genocide needs to be re-engraved. Although the Root is now a reorganized research institute and no longer carries out dangerous missions such as intelligence gathering and assassination, the level of secrecy required for its work is even higher than before."
Orochimaru beckoned and walked into Root. These were his future private team members, and he had to treat them with utmost care.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
The Root disciples responded in unison, saying that after being brainwashed by Danzo, they had no objection to re-engraving the seal.
Regardless of whether the leadership changes or the organization is reorganized, the tasks they need to do remain the same!
That is, to obey orders unconditionally and complete tasks.
Meanwhile, in the hyperspace room.
"Why? I don't understand why you would give such a dangerous ninjutsu to Orochimaru?"
Lin stared at Ishikawa with her big, cute eyes, not knowing what he meant.
She could understand why Ishikawa killed Danzo as soon as she arrived, and she could also accept recruiting Orochimaru to become the captain of the Anbu. But she couldn't understand Ishikawa's idea of handing over the forbidden immortality technique to Orochimaru at all!
Her side of Konoha has the entire Uchiha clan. Isn't this just allowing Orochimaru to recklessly reincarnate and seize fresh bodies?
Also, when did Ishikawa obtain Orochimaru's forbidden technique, Reanimation Jutsu?
“Rin, Orochimaru’s role is beyond your imagination. He’s not just a simple ambitious man.” Ishikawa shook his head and smiled faintly, then his eyes sharpened. “Besides, our future also needs his power.”
"Our future..."
Thump thump, Lin's face suddenly turned red, her cheeks flushed and her heart raced, as if she had thought of something.
With hazy eyes, she glanced at Ishikawa, who seemed confident and in complete control, and felt as if he had said something, yet also as if he hadn't said anything at all.
Hmph, that wretched guy is stirring up her heart again...
hateful!!
