Chapter 228 Uncle Snake, masters core technology
The young man standing in front of Lu Li had long silver hair tied into a ponytail at the back and black-framed glasses on his nose. At first glance, he looked very innocent.

However, Lu Li knew that this child was a sinister person. He was an avid fan of Orochimaru and a capable research assistant, Kabuto Yakushi.

As a spy, Kabuto Yakushi is also first-rate. Calculating the time, Kabuto Yakushi should have been cast under the spell by Scorpion, but was freed by Orochimaru.

So Kabuto is currently a double agent, pretending to gather intelligence about Orochimaru for Sasori, but in fact he follows Sasori from time to time on Orochimaru's orders to gather intelligence about Sasori and the Akatsuki organization.

If you take into account that Kabuto sometimes has to go back to Konoha, he's a triple agent.

"Excuse me, Lord Calamity? Lord Orochimaru has been waiting to see you."

Dou saluted towards Lu Li with a hearty fake smile on his face.

The reason why he could recognize Lu Li from a distance was because Lu Li was wearing the Akatsuki organization's windbreaker, which had very obvious features.

After joining Akatsuki, Lu Li not only got the ring codenamed "Zhu" that originally belonged to Itachi, but also got Akatsuki's "fashionable" windbreaker.

However, Lu Li did not wear the uniform issued by Akatsuki. Instead, he used the fashion adjustment function of the space to change his Midnight Walker appearance into an Akatsuki windbreaker.

This functional space can be used free of charge twice in each world. The first time is the default camouflage of the explorer's appearance when entering the world, and the second time can be freely adjusted.

If you want to change your clothes again later, you will need to pay the End Coins, and the price is not cheap.

To be honest, Lu Li doesn't really like the Akatsuki uniforms, because they are a bit of a hindrance during combat, but this seems to be a hard requirement of the organization. After all, Nagato now hopes that Akatsuki can make a name for itself in the ninja world.

As a first-rate mercenary organization, their uniforms serve as advertisements; they cannot claim that they won the war for a small country while others still don't know who did it.

With distinctive clothes, outsiders will immediately know that it is the Akatsuki organization, and war orders will come in continuously.

"It's me, where's Orochimaru-senpai?"

Lu Li nodded to Dou. He didn't really like the character of Orochimaru, but that didn't stop him from temporarily cooperating with Orochimaru to achieve their respective goals.

Given his personality in this world, it is reasonable for him to be polite to Orochimaru. After all, he is Orochimaru's junior, and they have similar experiences. They are naturally in the same camp.

"Please follow me. Lord Orochimaru is waiting for you in the secret base."

Dou led Lu Li into the Sound Village. After going around for a while, they came to the entrance of an underground tunnel and took Lu Li in.

Lu Li looked at Orochimaru's arrangements and was impressed by his carefulness. Even in his own ninja village, he managed to hide the experimental base so well.

In the long underground corridor, Lu Li saw many rooms. As a scientific researcher, Orochimaru was very particular about the classification of the rooms. There were rooms for storing data, experimental materials, chemical laboratories, biological laboratories, etc., all very neatly classified.

At the end of the corridor, which seemed to be a reception room, Orochimaru came out to greet them. He was not wearing the Akatsuki uniform, but a lab coat. It seemed that he had just finished a scientific research experiment.

"Mr. Lu, welcome."

Orochimaru greeted with what he considered a friendly smile on his face.

Lu Li used his reconnaissance skills to take a look at Orochimaru's attribute details and unexpectedly discovered that Orochimaru was not a one-sided student.

【Konoha Sannin. Orochimaru】

Physical fitness: 75 points

Strength: 68 points

Agility: 70 points

Spirit: 73 points

Charisma: 48 points

Lu Li originally thought that Orochimaru, who was easily knocked down by illusions, would have low mental attributes, but he found that this was not the case. Orochimaru had a strong ability to save his life and was a comprehensive ninja.

The reason why he would be killed by Itachi's illusion was probably because he used forbidden techniques to reincarnate, which caused some defects in his soul and made him very resistant to illusions.

Come to think of it, as one of the three great ninjas, Orochimaru must know quite a few large-scale ninjutsu, and his chakra level must not be low, it must be at the level of Kage.

Considering Orochimaru's tricks, Lu Li felt that Kakuzu was being too arrogant when he threatened Orochimaru. If it came to a life-and-death duel, Orochimaru would definitely be able to defeat Kakuzu.

But after seeing Orochimaru's attributes, Lu Li still wanted to complain, why can someone like Orochimaru have a charm value of 48 points! ?
Where exactly am I missing?
"Senior's secret base is really big. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Lu Li regained his composure and looked at the huge underground base and the various experimental instruments, wondering where Orochimaru's funding came from.

Given Kakuzu's stinginess, it is impossible for him to provide funding to Orochimaru for private scientific research.

"Mr. Lu, please take a seat."

Orochimaru first invited Lu Li to take a seat, then said, "I still have a few sponsors."

"From what you said, it doesn't seem like the organization is funding you. As a traitorous ninja from Konoha, who would support you?"

Lu Li asked curiously, already having a few guesses in mind.

"Mr. Lu might get angry if I tell you this, but I think if we want to cooperate in the future, I shouldn't be able to hide this from you."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with his long tongue in a sinister manner, "My biggest source of funds is from Konoha."

Lu Lixin said, "As expected, Danzo?"

Orochimaru laughed hoarsely a few times, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Lu Jun, it is indeed him, Lu Jun should hate him very much, right?" "Is it still meaningful to say whether I hate him or not now? But if I have the chance, I will indeed kill him."

Lu Li casually took the tea handed to him by Dou, checked it with the identification function, and found that it was not the sleep-inducing black tea, so he drank it with confidence.

"Haha, then I have to pray for him. After all, Mr. Lu, you have the ability to kill him, and I don't want to lose the source of research funding for the time being."

Orochimaru has been in contact with Danzo, but he has not yet told Danzo that Lu Li has joined the Akatsuki organization to team up with him because he does not have a good impression of Danzo.

At present, they are just using each other's relationship. When Danzo is no longer useful, he will consider getting rid of Danzo.

"We'll talk about Danzo later. Senior, what exactly are you researching?"

Lu Li asked, trying to see if the routine he had figured out in the open world would work.

"I'm researching a lot of projects, and my main focus is on natural biotechnology, with the goal of making people immortal. Mr. Lu, are you also interested in research?"

Orochimaru looked at Lu Li with interest. He heard that Lu Li defected because of "human experiments". Although he thought it was probably Danzo's fault, he felt that Lu Li might know something about research.

"Senior, you think highly of me. Although I have been charged with relevant crimes, I know nothing about scientific research."

Lu Li shook his head and changed the subject, "But if you are willing to share some of your research results with me, I can help you with the research funding issue."

To survive in the ninja world, you can't just rob everything just because you are strong. In scientific research, you still have to buy a lot of equipment. Otherwise, if you rob someone once, it will be difficult for you to get new research equipment in the future. This is a behavior of exhausting the resources for scientific researchers.

"Oh? Mr. Lu, I was right about you."

After hearing what Lu Li said, Orochimaru smiled and stood up. "We both came from Konoha and were both forced to defect. In my heart, you have always been a reliable junior. If you want the research results, I can naturally share them with you."

Orochimaru walked to the door and gestured to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, please follow me. I will show you my research institute."

At this time, Lu Li had received a new hidden mission.

[Hidden Mission: Research on Orochimaru]

Mission content: Help Orochimaru solve the problem of research funding and help him promote various scientific research projects. If there are any scientific research results, Orochimaru will share them with you.

Mission difficulty: Easy ~ Must die
Mission rewards: Depending on the research results, you can obtain bloodlines, skills and other items.

Failure penalty: None
[Tip: Discover the possibility of hidden task linkage, please pioneer and explore new possibilities. ]

What interested Lu Li was that the prompt said there was a linkage. He had only received three hidden missions so far, and the ones from the Raikage didn't seem to be related. In other words, the mission to save Uchiha could be linked to Orochimaru's research.

If you think about it carefully, maybe it is related to the Sharingan. If he can help Orochimaru get the Mangekyō Sharingan, then is there a way for Orochimaru to combine it with Hashirama's cells in his hands to research a more advanced bloodline?

After all, analyzing from the original work, the reason why Uchiha Madara was able to open the Rinnegan was because he absorbed Hashirama's cells and combined the power of Yin and Yang, thus opening the Rinnegan.

This example shows that the Yang-style power of Hashirama's cells has the effect of giving birth to the Yin-style Sharingan.

At that time, Uchiha Madara already possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but what would happen if an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan was combined with the Yang Release power of Hashirama's cells?
Lu Li just thought about it for a moment and found the matter interesting. His trip was not in vain. In addition to his plan to trick Orochimaru into working with him against Konoha, it seemed that he could also make other big income.

"Mr. Lu, look at this child, can you see any difference?"

At this time, Orochimaru took Lu Li to a room. The door opened and a boy with gray hair and two dots on his forehead stood in front of them.

The boy looked indifferent, but was very respectful to Orochimaru. When they met, he bowed, "Lord Orochimaru."

Based on his characteristics, Lu Li recognized him at a glance. This was Kaguya Kimimaro. The man was still young at the time and had not yet suffered from the bloodline disease. He looked very healthy.

"What's that mark on his neck?"

Lu Li asked knowingly, noticing the curse mark on Kimimaro's body.

"Kimimaro, this is Tianzai Luli, my partner. Show him what you are capable of."

Orochimaru ordered.

After hearing the order, Kimimaro unleashed the power of the curse. First, tadpole-like lines appeared on his skin, and then his appearance changed further. His skin turned dark brown and he grew a tail.

After entering the second stage of the curse, Kimimaro's aura was obviously much stronger. In Lu Li's vision, because of Kimimaro's weak foundation, his comprehensive attributes soared by more than 10 points.

"Amazing ability, but this doesn't seem to be the power brought by chakra, right?"

Lu Li praised. He did not deny that the curse seal was a useful explosive force, but he was not going to use Orochimaru's research results.

Not to mention that he was going to be bitten by that old bastard Orochimaru. Even if Orochimaru didn't do anything fancy, he felt that the second stage of the curse seal was too ugly.

"As expected of someone who could compete with Minato back then, Lu Jun, you have a very sharp eye. This is not a secret technique in the conventional chakra system, but the effect of natural energy on the human body. I call this technique the curse seal."

Orochimaru said complacently that these were some of the most successful cases of his research results that could be put into practical use over the years.

"Natural energy? Magic?"

Lu Li asked with pretended curiosity. In fact, fairy arts were not a very secret existence in the ninja world. As a war hero of Konoha back then, it was reasonable for him to know about it.

"Yes, this is another form of immortal arts. You may not know, Lu Jun, that although immortal arts are powerful, ordinary people cannot learn them. My curse can allow anyone to possess the power of immortal arts."

Orochimaru said this and gave Kimimaro a look. Kimimaro naturally closed the curse seal form. His ability to retract and release it freely showed that his curse seal technique was very mature.
