In an underground base far away from Muye Village, Orochi Maru was leaning on a stone chair. His eyes were as sharp as a snake's as he glanced at Haku, who was at a loss of what to do.
After a long time, Orochi Maru smiled and said, "Haku, welcome back!"
Although Orochi Maru's smile gave people goosebumps, Haku was still slightly relieved and said softly, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Orochi Maru pretended to be casual and said, "Is everything okay with Kuroto-San?"
Haku quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Master Kuroto-San has been taking care of me."
"Is that so …" After thinking for a while, Orochi Maru asked again, "What did you do at his place?"
Haku seriously recalled and replied, "I don't think I did anything. Master Kuroto-San just tested my ninjutsu, and … and that's it."
Orochi Maru slightly frowned and said, "Just testing your ninjutsu?!"
Haku seemed to recall something and said, "Oh right, Master Kuroto-San also extracted some of my blood and cells."
Orochi Maru thought to himself, "Hmph, no wonder he wanted to get the technology related to cell fusion from me. It turns out that he has been secretly conducting human experiments!"
Haku's description, coupled with the information that Hyōjin had proposed to Orochi Maru, immediately made Orochi Maru understand that Hyōjin was also conducting some kind of human experiment.
However, due to the lack of information, Orochi Maru was still unable to determine the direction of Hyōjin's experiment.
"He abandoned the laboratory that I left for him, which means that he has opened a brand new laboratory somewhere else. As long as I find that laboratory, I will be able to figure out his research project."
Thinking of this, Orochi Maru's mind was no longer on Haku, so he ordered Haku, "Go and rest."
"Yes!"
Bai responded and retreated cautiously.
At this time, Haku remembered that Kuroto used the Soul Descend Technique on him, but seeing that Orochimaru didn't seem to be interested in continuing to listen to his narration, and he didn't know how to accurately describe the situation at that time, so after hesitating for a while, he chose to remain silent and didn't tell Orochimaru about this matter.
After Haku left, Apothecary Dou walked out of the shadows. "Master Orochi Maru, there's news from Shinno."
"What did he say?"
Pharmacist Dou pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Shinno said that it will take about a month for his actions. He told you not to worry. He will cooperate with you at the right time."
"Don't worry?" Anger crept onto Orochi Maru's face, but he soon grinned and said, "Is Shinno going to start his plan?"
With Hyōjin's success as an example, Orochi Maru had long changed his mind. He knew very well that as long as Shinno could find a large and stable source of Chakra like the Dragon Vein, creating an artificial tailed beast would not be a pipe dream. Therefore, he was looking forward to it.
Soon, Orochi Maru collected his thoughts. "A month? I can wait …"
Apothecary Dou then asked, "Master Orochi Maru, what are you going to do with Haku?"
Obviously, Apothecary Dou was a little worried that Haku had been brainwashed by Hyōjin and had become Hyōjin's spy. After all, it was too easy for him to find Haku.
Orochi Maru pondered for a moment and immediately said, "Go and make the arrangements. I will personally plant the curse mark on him tomorrow!"
The "curse mark" was the latest research result of Orochi Maru's research. Based on the strange phenomenon that Jugo was born with the ability to absorb natural energy, he carried out countless experiments. Finally, he mastered a method that could use Jugo's bloodline to manipulate natural energy. This method was the "curse mark" that he just mentioned.
After mastering the "curse mark", Orochi Maru, who was full of strange ideas, started a new experiment.
This experiment was to integrate his own Chakra and part of his soul into the "curse mark", and then inject it into other people's bodies through the "curse mark".
In this way, all the ninjas who carried the "curse mark" became Orochi Maru's "resurrection point".
As long as any of these ninjas who carried the "curse mark" is alive, then even if Orochi Maru's body is destroyed, Orochi Maru may be resurrected through these ninjas who carried the "curse mark".
… …
In the woods outside Muye Village.
Clang Clang Clang …
A series of metal collision sounds resounded through the forest.
Kuroto's figure was as fast as lightning, and the blade of the sword seemed to be integrated with his body, creating a field of sword shadows crisscrossing around him.
As his opponent, Itachi is fully activating the Sharingan at this moment, the three tomoe in his scarlet eyes rotated rapidly, and the scarlet eyes also moved left and right in his eye sockets, trying to capture all of Hyōjin's attacks.
However, Hyōjin's movements are too fast, even if he fully activated the Sharingan, Itachi can only barely defend with the Kunai in his hand.
After blocking several sharp slashes from Hyōjin, Itachi saw a gap, shoveled hard with his feet, and swept the floating snow on the ground towards Hyōjin.
At the same time, Itachi took the opportunity to retreat far away from Hyōjin.
"Huhu …"
After backing off, Itachi panted heavily while thinking of a countermeasure.
After the fight just now, he can clearly feel that the opponent in front of him has the sharp insight of the Uchiha Clan, but the fighting style is not the same as the ordinary Uchiha.
Compared to the Uchiha Clan who is used to showing off and using Fire Release Ninjutsu, the opponent in front of him obviously prefers fierce physical attacks!
"Whether it is the speed and strength of the body, or the pupil power and insight of the Sharingan, she is better than me. If I continue to attack in her rhythm, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long …"
Itachi suppressed his impetuous mood and began to make a battle plan.
At this time, Hyōjin, who was not far away, gently shook off the snowflakes on his body and said indifferently, "Is that all?"
Itachi did not say anything, while looking at Hyōjin calmly, he put his hands into the ninja bag around his waist.
Because he did not know the specific content of the assessment, Itachi, who was used to making sufficient preparations for everything in advance, was already fully armed before going out.
Swoosh …
In an instant, the two of them used the teleportation technique at the same time, turned into two afterimages, and stirred up a large snow fog!
Clang …
Clang …
Clang …
The two afterimages constantly collided in the forest, making a burst of sparks that can only be produced by the violent collision of metals!
After a while, Hyōjin kicked Itachi, and his figure flashed, putting the long sword on Itachi's throat, and said, "You lost!"
