Chapter 122: The Deal with Orochimaru

"You want information on the curse seal? As far as I know, Feiyu, you should have already mastered the Sage Mode. You don't need this degraded version, right?"

"Are you also going to try the reincarnation technique? However, with your talent and age, it is impossible to find a vessel with stronger qualifications than you..."

"I'm sorry, but I think I can live for a few hundred years. I don't need to find a container!"

Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and spoke lightly.

Although Orochimaru and Uchiha Toba are just a pair of plastic master and apprentice, and they mostly use each other, after spending a long time together, they do have some sense of mutual appreciation.

Well, it might be more appropriate to describe them as being in cahoots with each other, birds of a feather, and birds of a feather. In this incompatible era where everyone is thinking about the "will of fire" and "world peace", these two extreme egoists, while huddling together for warmth, are also trying to find out the opponent's cards.

In this regard, Uchiha Feiyu naturally had an absolute advantage. After all, Uchiha Feiyu basically knew everything Orochimaru could do. Even if new things were developed later, they were also due to the changes brought about by Uchiha Feiyu.

However, Orochimaru also found out some things. At least he knew that Uchiha Feiyu's strength improvement was related to his killing on the battlefield. He also knew that Uchiha Feiyu, like him, was proficient in soul-related ninjutsu.

So Uchiha Feiyu had been crossed out from his container list a long time ago. On the contrary, he had discussed his own corpse reincarnation technique and the lich reincarnation ritual with Uchiha Feiyu. In this respect, these two people are the people who know each other best in the world.

Even in Orochimaru's view, everyone else in this world will decay and die, and only his cheap apprentice has the possibility of embarking on the path to immortality like himself.

"Then why do you want to curse? You don't really want to develop the Sand Village? I don't think my apprentice has such a big sense of responsibility."

After hearing what Orochimaru said, Uchiha Feiyu chuckled and said something that Orochimaru found difficult to understand:
"Of course, it's so that we can have more healthy leeks when we harvest them later!"

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Uchiha Feiyu's words, Orochimaru still felt a chill after hearing this. His intuition told him that his apprentice must be up to no good again.

“Forget it, forget it… I won’t ask you what you want to do, but the curse seal is not a simple thing. It is a top secret technique that I developed with great effort, which is enough to change the entire ninja world…”

"so what?"

"You have to pay more!"

"I don't have any money, but I do have a pill. Just tell me if you want it or not."

Uchiha Feiyu directly took out a pill made from the essence of the soul. The souls stored in the Box of Bliss for many years were consumed, but the number of souls captured by Uchiha Feiyu's Soul Conquest was not small, and their purity was far superior to the resentful ghosts in the Box of Bliss.

This soul pill was made by Uchiha Feiyu by directly extracting the souls of the five Chunins under his control.

The soul power of a Chunin is about twice that of a Genin, and the soul origin obtained through the soul refining method will only remain about one tenth. In other words, this pill is equivalent to the soul energy of a Genin.

As soon as the pill was taken out, Orochimaru's eyes were fixed on it. He could clearly feel that his soul was extremely greedy for the pill in front of him.

Ordinary ninjas might not be able to see the true nature of this pill, but Orochimaru is almost the number one person in soul research in the ninja world today. Almost at the moment he saw the pill, he had already felt the essence of the pill.

The so-called elixir is just an appearance, or a shell. Its essence is a group of extremely pure soul energy. As long as you swallow it, you can increase your own soul power!

Orochimaru has done extremely in-depth research on the soul, and his own soul power is considered top-notch even among Kage-level warriors.

It's just that after his technique of reincarnation was integrated with the lich reincarnation ritual, although it greatly improved the defects of soul deficiency and incompatibility between soul and body, it also made the requirements for soul strength extremely harsh.

In other words, although the ninjutsu has been perfected, the difficulty has also increased. Until now, Orochimaru has not performed his first reincarnation because the new reincarnation without corpse is too difficult.

But it’s different with the soul elixir. Now with each level of his soul power increasing, it will be easier for him to perform the new technique of reincarnation, and his success rate will also increase.

"Okay, I'll give you the information on the curse and give me the pills."

After much thought, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and decided on the deal. Looking at the look in his eyes, Uchiha Feiyu immediately understood what was going on. He guessed that his cheap teacher wanted to analyze the ingredients of the pills to see if he could make them himself!
Uchiha Feiyu didn't think that his cheap teacher had the ability to really make soul elixirs by himself. After Orochimaru had tried all kinds of methods and was completely disappointed, he would definitely come to him to trade.

By then, no matter how unwilling his cheap teacher is, he will have to become a tool under him.

After collecting the pills, Orochimaru handed the information about the curse seal to Uchiha Feiyu, then waved his hand:
"If you have nothing else to do, don't look for me. I still have to continue my experiments!"

"Then I really have something to do. The matter of the elixir and the curse seal is just a side story. The real purpose of my visit this time is, first of all, I hope that Master Orochimaru can give me some information about Konoha. I believe that Master should still have a lot of spies and team members in Konoha."

Orochimaru was slightly stunned, looked at Uchiha Feiyu and asked:
"You're asking me for information and informants about Konoha? Why? Are you planning to take action against Konoha?"

As he spoke, Orochimaru was also speculating in his heart that with the strength of his cheap apprentice, plus the Sand Ninja who has now recovered a little, he might really be able to wipe out Konoha in one wave!
"Of course not... It's not in my interest to flatten Konoha now. Besides, although Konoha and I don't have much affection, we don't have any hatred at all."

The ones who really have a grudge against Uchiha Feiyu are Shimura Danzo and the Root, who killed his parents. The only other one is the Third Hokage, who may know something about this matter, so he is slightly related.

Although the Uchiha clan forced him to become a ninja, they did teach him some basic ninjutsu. When his strength greatly improved, they even used many secret techniques to win him over, so he and the Uchiha clan actually had no grudge against each other.

The main reason why he targeted the Uchiha clan was Uchiha Feiyu's own greed, not because the Uchiha clan had offended him.

"Tsk, forget it, it seems you have your own plans, but in exchange for the same value, I will give you the information about Konoha, what can you give me?"

Orochimaru glanced at his apprentice and saw that he was smiling. He knew that he probably couldn't get anything out of him, so he waved his hand and asked for benefits. Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, took out a Hunyuan treasure box, and spoke lightly:

"Teacher, haven't you always wondered why I was able to improve my strength so much in the war? This is the answer!"

"The Hun Yuan Treasure Box can transform a living ninja into a Qi and Blood Pill, greatly improving the ninja's physical strength and physical talent. At the same time, the increase in physical strength will also increase the amount of chakra in the ninja. As long as you eat enough, even a pig can become a Kage-level ninja!"

Orochimaru took a look at it with interest. This kind of blood and energy elixir is of value to any ninja. Although Orochimaru is not very interested in physical skills and feels that his own chakra is sufficient, he absolutely cannot resist the temptation of physical strength and chakra growth.

Not to mention that when Orochimaru's corpse-free reincarnation technique is developed, this kind of elixir can also be used to cultivate containers, making them more perfect.

After licking his tongue slightly, Orochimaru looked at the Hunyuan Treasure Box and asked:
"You are so direct. It seems that you are very confident in your current strength. Do you no longer need to hide secrets? Feiyu, how many Qi and Blood Pills can you provide me?"

Uchiha Feiyu shook his head directly:
"Instead of providing you with elixirs, I will directly give you the Hun Yuan Treasure Box!"

Orochimaru widened his eyes, looked at Uchiha Feiyu, and took a breath of cold air:
"Ahem, ahem, disciple, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Otherwise, just give me this thing. I don't dare to take it!"

"Konoha's intelligence is not worth the Hunyuan Treasure Box in your hand!"

Uchiha Feiyu looked at his cheap teacher's vague panic and showed a speechless expression. Did he leave such a big psychological shadow on his cheap teacher?
Normally he calls himself Feiyu, but now he even calls me his apprentice!
However, Uchiha Feiyu still explained it carefully to Orochimaru:
"Teacher, don't worry. I have four Hunyuan treasure boxes in my hand. I just put one here with you."

"Moreover, this Hunyuan Treasure Box can only be used by my clone. If other ninjas want to use the Hunyuan Treasure Box, they will be completely sucked dry by the Hunyuan Treasure Box!"

"If Orochimaru-sensei doesn't believe it, you can find a way to do research. Of course, you must not try it yourself. I don't want you to be sucked into a snake by this Hunyuan Treasure Box."

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then spoke in a low voice:
"So, you plan to leave a clone here with me? But how long can a clone last?"

"The clones I created can exist for a long time with the help of a special sealing formation, so there is no need to replenish them repeatedly."

Uchiha Feiyu spoke and said that he possessed the secret technique of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. As long as he gathered natural energy of sufficient concentration, his clone could also rely on absorbing natural energy to transform energy and exist for a long time.

When he was in the Kusagakure Village, Uchiha Feiyu used this trick and artificially created a "holy land" with a high concentration of natural energy to absorb natural energy and maintain the existence of his clone.

In fact, all the human experiment materials that Orochimaru had in the past were handed over to Uchiha Feiyu to deal with, otherwise Uchiha Feiyu would not have given him large sums of money to squander every day before he had any results.

Now that we have the Hunyuan Treasure Box, at most the processing can be more efficient.

Orochimaru glanced at the Hunyuan Treasure Box, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he asked:
"Is that soul elixir also related to the Hunyuan Treasure Box?"

"It's true that there is a connection. The Hunyuan Treasure Box can store souls. However, to refine it into a pill, I still have to rely on my unique soul refining method to extract the energy from it."

This is quite true. Although the Hunyuan Treasure Box can be regarded as an automatic alchemy furnace, it does not have a very good way to deal with soul energy. It only inherited the ability to store souls from the Box of Bliss.

The real way to refine soul energy into elixir is Uchiha Feiyu's soul refining method.

After listening to Uchiha Feiyu's explanation, Orochimaru nodded slightly. Although there was still some greed in his eyes, he didn't say anything more in the end.

However, Orochimaru was also very clear about the character of his disciple. Some ordinary ninjutsu and treasures would be fine, but things like soul refining techniques would definitely not be easily handed over to him by this cheap disciple.

There is no chance of taking it by force, as his disciple's strength has become more and more unfathomable in the past few years. As for exchanging it for other things, Orochimaru does not have any equivalent ninjutsu or treasures.

"Okay...your clone stays here. I will give you Konoha's intelligence and informants when the time comes. You just said that this is the first thing. Are there other things?"

"That's right... The second thing is that I want to ask you for someone!"

"Begging for someone?!"

Orochimaru blinked his eyes. He didn't remember any of his subordinates being worthy of Uchiha Feiyu's attention... No! The living people under his command were indeed not worthy of Uchiha Feiyu's attention, but if it was a dead person, it was indeed worthy enough for Uchiha Feiyu to take it seriously.

"The person you are looking for is the Impure World Reincarnation of the Second Hokage!?"

"It seems that you know who I'm looking for, Mr. Orochimaru, without me telling you."

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled. He had now made some modifications to the Impure World Reincarnation. He could now directly control the reincarnated soul in his hands through the Soul Binding Technique, instead of turning it into an Impure World Reincarnation body.

Although the Soul Binding General can only allow one soul to possess his body at a time, the power he displays depends not only on the soul but also on the basic qualities of the body. But there is one thing that the Soul Binding General is much stronger than the Impure World Reincarnation, and that is the control over the soul!

Basically no one can control the top-level strong men who are resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, but once the Soul Binding Technique is used, even the first Hokage, Uchiha Madara, will be completely controlled.

After completing the transformation, Uchiha Feiyu wanted to summon the Second Generation Hokage as soon as possible, but in the end he was unable to find the soul of the Second Generation Hokage.

At that time, Uchiha Feiyu knew that the soul of the Second Hokage was most likely taken away by his cheap teacher.
