Chapter 229 Are you interested in destroying Konoha?

Lu Li didn't know how unstable Orochimaru's curse was, and what he said about 'anyone can have the power of fairy arts' was pure nonsense.

In terms of adaptability, nine out of ten people who are cursed will die. Even if they don't die, it is not easy to control the power of the curse.

Kimimaro was able to control himself freely because he was a genius, a one in a million example.

It can only be said that as a scientific researcher, Orochimaru was quite scheming when it came to attracting investment. He only showed Lu Li the good side of the research results and didn't mention any shortcomings at all.

Compared to Orochimaru's unstable curse seal, he was more interested in the original fairy technique.

Thinking of this, he asked Orochimaru, "Senior, I remember you have a psychic snake, which is the legendary ninja beast of the Ryuchi Cave. Do you know how to get to the Ryuchi Cave?"

Orochimaru glanced at Lu Li and saw through his thoughts, "Mr. Lu wants to go to the Ryuchi Cave to learn immortal arts?"

"I heard that Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, has mastered the celestial art. It is a powerful force that allows him to be undefeated on the battlefield. Naturally, it interests me."

Lu Li said bluntly.

Speaking of Jiraiya, Orochimaru was obviously unhappy, "Mr. Lu, listen to my advice. It's not that ordinary people can't learn senjutsu, but rather that smart people can't learn it. Usually, it's a technique that only fools can learn."

Lu Lixin said, Orochimaru, are you really not being jealous?

But if you think about it carefully, in the original work, except for Kabuto who learned the magic by some unknown means, the other people who learned the magic were indeed "idiots", and what Orochimaru said made sense.

"I'm just a little interested and want to give it a try. It's okay if I can't learn it."

Lu Li said casually. Compared with the temporary explosive power of magic, he was actually more interested in the difference between the magic system and the spiritual pressure system. He wanted to figure out the differences between the energy systems of various worlds.

"Since Mr. Lu said so, I will help you contact Longdi Cave later and take you there when I have time."

Orochimaru said, asking Kimimaro to go back to the house and continued forward with Lu Li, "I haven't finished showing my research results to Lu Jun yet."

Next, Orochimaru took Lu Li to see his various research projects. What interested Lu Li the most was Orochimaru's research on Hashirama's cells.

"The cells of the first Hokage are just like cancer cells, which are extremely corrosive and destructive. I also have a successful case, but it's a pity that the material was detained by Danzo, so I can't show it to Lu Jun."

Orochimaru said regretfully, "But if there is enough research funding, I will definitely be able to study the secrets hidden in the first generation cells."

Lu Lixin said that Orochimaru now looked like a researcher who swore that he could do it and came to deceive investors, but he knew that Orochimaru was a capable scientific researcher, and as long as he had money, there was really nothing in the ninja world that he could not study thoroughly.

"Senior, have you ever tried implantation?"

Lu Li looked at the piece of tissue on the experimental table. The cells of the first Hokage looked a bit weird. They actually naturally divided and grew into a face of the first generation.

"Mr. Lu, as a scientific researcher, how can I do this to myself without any certainty?"

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, "But if you are interested, I can help you implant it."

Lu Li declined the offer. "Forget about implanting it for me, but I hope you can continue to study the cells of the first generation and try to combine them with other forces."

Due to limited research funds and the fact that Hashirama's cells are indeed evil and have not brought any benefits to Orochimaru, Orochimaru has currently stopped research on Hashirama's cells.

This was not what Lu Li wanted to see. He was still counting on Orochimaru to help him develop the Rinnegan. At the very least, it would be best if he could also get him an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Otherwise, even if he got the reward for saving Uchiha, if it wasn't the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he wouldn't want to use it because the side effects were too great.

"Mr. Lu."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. "Biological research is very expensive. I don't want to continue this research as I don't see any future."

"I'm very interested in the power of primary cells. Don't worry about the research funds. I'll get them for you."

Lu Li knew that Orochimaru was trying to trick him, but he didn't care.

Sure enough, after hearing Lu Li's promise, Orochimaru smiled happily, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu, in the future. Don't worry, you can share the research results here."

Lu Li knew that what Orochimaru said was nice, but in fact the real core results might not be shown to him, but he just needed to get what he wanted.

After touring Orochimaru's research base, the two returned to the original reception room. Lu Li mentioned the main reason why he came to see Orochimaru, "Senior Orochimaru, as one of the three ninjas, you have been busy all your life doing so many tasks for Konoha. In the end, you failed in the political struggle and were expelled from Konoha and became a traitor. Are you really willing to accept this?"

When Orochimaru heard Lu Li's words, the vertical pupils in his eyes shrank for a moment, "Mr. Lu, what do you want to say?"

"I don't know what you think, senior, but I will not resign myself to this. I want to make those who drove me out of the village pay the price."

Lu Li said bluntly, locking eyes with Orochimaru, "Senior, are you interested in destroying Konoha?"

Orochimaru was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then he let out a hoarse laugh, "Hahaha... Lu Jun, you are much more interesting than I thought. I thought you would scorn my research, but you actually said you would provide me with funding. I thought you still couldn't let go of Konoha, but you said you wanted to destroy Konoha..."

Orochimaru paused for a few seconds, staring at Lu Li with his snake eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, it seems that you have suffered a lot in Kumogakure."

"I've felt the pain, so how can I not let them experience it too?"

Lu Li sneered and gave himself an 8 for his acting skills. "Hahaha...Mr. Lu, we really met too late. If I had known you were like this, I should have sneaked into the Hidden Cloud Village to rescue you."

Orochimaru said with a smile.

Lu Li was driven out of the village before he defected. Did Orochimaru have power in the village at that time? Of course he did, but he also acquiesced to the expulsion of Lu Li in front of the Third Generation, and even felt secretly happy in his heart.

Because in the era when the Third World War had just ended, not only Minato Namikaze, but also Lu Li were strong contenders for the position of Hokage. Orochimaru certainly didn't want to have too many competitors, so he would let as many of them as possible go.

But later, when he was driven away from the village, he felt a little emotional. When Lu Li was driven away, he did not speak, and no one spoke for him when he was driven away.

After Orochimaru defected, most people didn't know that he knew Lu Li was not captured and killed, but he had no intention of going to the Hidden Cloud Village to seek trouble.

The reason is very simple, he is not familiar with him. In his opinion, Lu Li and Golden Flash are of the same kind of people. The only difference is that Minato is a disciple of Jiraiya and has a natural advantage in competing for the position of Hokage, while Natural Disaster is born a commoner.

Orochimaru originally thought that Lu Li was a "sunny boy" like Minato, and felt that he could not play with him, so he had no intention of saving Lu Li. Anyway, he could do well as a rebel ninja on his own.

Now that he had met and talked with Lu Li, Orochimaru felt that he had met him too late.

Having a powerful ally like Lu Li is a good thing both in terms of research and consolidating one's position within the Akatsuki organization.

For a moment, Orochimaru felt his ambition rise again. If the two of them joined forces, what could not be overturned in the ninja world?

"I appreciate your kindness, Senior. What do you think of my idea?"

Lu Li asked with a smile, the two of them seemed to be in cahoots with each other.

Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Of course it's great, Lu Jun. To be honest, I have been planning to destroy Konoha for a long time."

The old man of the Third Hokage gave the position of Hokage to Minato without giving him any young man, and he was absolutely not convinced.

If he didn't use people from his own village as experiments, would the Third Hokage give him the title of Hokage?

Because before the Third Hokage knew about his experiments, Namikaze Minato had already become the Fourth Hokage, and he started experimenting on the people in the village after Minato became Hokage.

Or to be more precise, it was after the death of Minato Namikaze that he began to conduct experiments on the villagers.

Well, apart from the shortage of funds and research materials, he might have also had a bit of resentment and revenge in his heart at the time.

Originally, he could understand why Minato Namikaze was running for Hokage. After all, Minato was young and handsome, and his target was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which was equivalent to the integration of military and political power, and was conducive to the stability of the village.

Considering politics and long-term interests, the Third Hokage chose Minato as the Fourth Hokage. Although he was not convinced, he could understand it.

but!

Minato is dead!
The position of Hokage is vacant again. Old man Third Hokage, why don’t you choose him?

Orochimaru was most dissatisfied with this point, so after the Nine-Tails incident, he began to capture people in the village for experiments. He was eventually discovered by the Third Generation two years later and was forced to become a rebel ninja of Konoha.

His feelings towards the Third Generation are extremely complicated. It's not that he doesn't appreciate his teachings, but at this point, hatred outweighs gratitude. He only wants to destroy Konoha, which he once wanted to protect, and release his emotions.

Lu Li was unaware of the mixed feelings Orochimaru was feeling at this time, so he asked, "Specifically, do you have a detailed plan, Senior?"

"To fight a ninja village like Konoha, it's not enough for just the two of us. We need powerful weapons."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Isn't the Akatsuki organization already starting to collect the tailed beasts? We can use them."

"Capture a Jinchūriki and place him in the center of Konoha Village?"

Lu Li pondered that at this point in time, Gaara seemed to be the only Jinchūriki in an unstable situation, but Gaara was still a kid and there was a high possibility that he would be killed by the Konoha ninja before he went berserk.

"This is just one step. As for who to choose as the target, I haven't decided yet. The tailed beasts are large-scale war weapons. Their main function is to disrupt the battlefield, but we also need the cooperation of other elite ninjas."

Orochimaru said, "My Sound Village Lu Jun has also seen that we are just starting out and don't have many outstanding ninjas, so we have to cooperate with other major ninja villages."

"for example?"

Lu Lixin said that Orochimaru had indeed planned it long ago and explained it very logically.

"I think the Sand Village is good. They had a lot of conflicts with Konoha during World War II. Now they are allies, but in fact they have been exploited in diplomacy and have long been dissatisfied."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and said, "I am confident that I can get them to join us. With a fighter like Lu Jun here, I believe they will be tempted."

After listening to Orochimaru's plan, Lu Li felt that this plan was extremely unreliable. For a moment, he was not sure whether Orochimaru was just thinking like that or he just couldn't bear to really destroy Konoha.

After all, Orochimaru is the one who knows Konoha's war capabilities best. Now the Uchiha clan has not been destroyed yet. Do they want to destroy Konoha with just this little combat power?
However, Lu Li would not point out the flaws in Orochimaru's plan. After all, he wanted a lukewarm plan like this. If it was too extreme and directly destroyed Konoha, Uchiha Itachi would not stick with him, and he would not be able to complete his other hidden mission.

Therefore, mastering the balance between the two tasks is what he needs to pay attention to in the future.
