Chapter 72 Trading
On the second day after receiving the gift from Uchiha, Uchiha Feiyu took the newly written scroll and went to find his cheap teacher Orochimaru.

"It seems that Feiyu, you have made up your mind? Are you ready to join the Root with me?"

"That's right, teacher. After all, for some things, I can only rely on the power of my roots."

"Oh?! Feiyu, are you also interested in human experiments?"

"Human experimentation... you could say that!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Feiyu handed Orochimaru a piece of information. Orochimaru was slightly stunned, picked it up and took a look, then gasped.

Even though Orochimaru himself was cold-blooded and ruthless and did not take human life seriously, the "human materials" required in the information still made him a little frightened.

"With so many materials, are you planning to massacre a small ninja village? The number of people I have consumed in all these years of human experiments is probably only a fraction of yours, right? "

"Teacher, stop joking. Your human experiments have very high requirements for materials. Ordinary Genin are not even qualified to be consumables!"

"The blood pool I want to build doesn't need such high specifications. Any corpse with a little chakra will do!"

"But there are too many of them... I'm not the leader of the Root, I'm just a worker."

"Teacher, you are joking. A laborer does not have the same authority as you. With your ability, you should at least be an important strategic partner if you join the Root!"

Uchiha Feiyu said with a smile as he handed Orochimaru another scroll. Orochimaru opened it curiously and took a look at it. He was immediately attracted by it, and his whole face broke out into surprise.

He scanned the scroll with greedy eyes until he saw the end of the scroll. Then, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an anxious look:
"What about the rest? What about the second half of this jutsu? ! ! Give me the rest of the jutsu! !"

The lich reincarnation ritual, even in the world of DND, is a spell that only top-level wizards can use. Every wizard who is transformed into a lich has absolutely extraordinary strength, at least close to being a legendary monster.

With the improvements made by successive wizards, although the lich transformation still has various defects such as negative energy corroding the soul, the inability to preserve the body, and the gradual fading of emotional memories over time, it is indeed a complete path to immortality.

At least for the liches in the dnd world, living for thousands of years is like playing. All liches die in vain. I have never heard of a lich dying of old age!

On the other hand, can Orochimaru's later developed reincarnation technique really lead to immortality? That's hard to say.

Anyway, in Uchiha Feiyu's opinion, with that simple method of possessing another body, Orochimaru would only live for one or two hundred years at most, and by then his soul would be shattered and disappear into thin air.

Therefore, after seeing the Lich Reincarnation Method, Orochimaru felt like he had seen a guiding light. Even though many things in it were not very consistent with the chakra system of the Naruto world and could not be directly applied, it still made his mind light up and countless inspirations gushed out.

Seeing that the spell only started and then died down, he got excited and glared at Uchiha Feiyu with an anxious look on his face.

It was not until he saw the half-smile on Uchiha Feiyu's face that Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and realized his own gaffe.

"I'm sorry... I guess I really lost my composure a bit."

"This ninjutsu is truly brilliant. Although it seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the chakra system, the various theories contained in it are really eye-opening to me!" Uchiha Feiyu chuckled. He naturally knew how tempting the Lich Reincarnation Technique was to a guy like Orochimaru who pursued immortality.

If it weren't for his powerful strength, which was not inferior to Orochimaru at all, Orochimaru would have probably already started to attack him directly!
"Don't worry, Teacher Orochimaru. As long as you can provide me with the materials I need, I will naturally offer you the Lich Reincarnation Technique with both hands."

Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up slightly and he nodded gently:

"In that case, it's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

The resources needed for Uchiha Feiyu to build the blood pool were extremely difficult for him, and even for Orochimaru, it was not an easy task.

Although Orochimaru also has some subordinates of his own in the Konoha Village who can do some dirty work in private, but with such a large order involving more than 2000 ninja corpses, his own subordinates are still unable to handle it alone.

But it doesn't matter, the Root is professional in this area, and Orochimaru can simply subcontract the project out!
At most, he would make some more dirty deals with Danzo. As the top scientific researcher, he could just report more losses and then select a few of his previous research results and give them to Danzo. Wouldn't that be perfect?

Although he thought so in his heart, Orochimaru couldn't help but twitch his mouth after seeing the list of materials in his hand. To collect so many materials, he would definitely bleed heavily this time.

……

"We're here. This is the base of the roots!"

In the forest outside Konoha, Uchiha Feiyu looked at the grass in front of him with curiosity, but saw Orochimaru casually stretched out his hand and made a few seals. With a rumbling sound, the grass parted, revealing a huge hole in the ground.

"It's quite secretive... But is it really necessary to be so secretive in Konoha?"

"Hehe, maybe it's because of the personality of the Root leader. The old man always has various worries."

Orochimaru said this with a smile, almost saying that Danzo was suffering from paranoia.

There was a clattering sound, and an indifferent old man walked out of the darkness, speaking in a somewhat cold voice:

"Orochimaru, what do you want to say? Are you saying that I'm old?"

"Haha, of course I don't dare. Master Danzo is still strong now. Who among the Anbu of the major ninja villages doesn't know the famous name of the Darkness of the Ninja World?"

Danzo snorted lightly and didn't say much. After his eyes swept over Orochimaru, he looked at Uchiha Feiyu:
"Is this your disciple? In addition to you, he also wants to join my roots?"

"Not everyone can join the Root. If you want to become a Root ninja, you must first forget the past and the future, become a complete ghost, and become the root of darkness that supports the big tree of Konoha!"

"Uchiha brat, do you have such awareness and courage?"
