"Orochimaru, you little punk, you're quite something!"
After a very gentle breakfast, Lin Yu waited for the three women to rest before immediately teleporting to the Eternal Life Base.
"Lin Yu-kun, in what regard?"
Seeing Lin Yu's sudden arrival, Orochimaru was not surprised, continuing his experiments with orderly progress.
Lin Yu's expression was not good. After walking by the river for years, he had finally stumbled, nearly drowning in the process.
Lin Yu walked around the laboratory and asked, "Let's put that aside for now, any new experimental results?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru temporarily put down his work, removed his sterile gloves, and his expression turned serious.
"Follow me."
Orochimaru walked to a secret room and, after facial recognition and password input, opened a laboratory made of titanium alloy.
"Orochimaru, you're doing this sort of thing… that'll be extra charges, you know?"
Ignoring Lin Yu, Orochimaru passed through a dust and germ removal chamber and opened a transparent glass door.
"Lin Yu-kun, I believe the results will satisfy you soon," Orochimaru said with a mysterious smile.
In a laboratory filled with nutrient vats, a young man wearing glasses was constantly conducting experiments and verification with various precision instruments.
"Orochimaru-sama, Lin Yu-sama, good morning."
Kabuto greeted them with a smile, subconsciously pushing up his glasses. Lin Yu-sama was a rare guest; could it be that they knew about their latest experimental results?
Lin Yu looked at the Sharingan and Byakugan in the rows of nutrient solutions and asked, "Can the Rinnegan be cultivated yet?"
"Not yet."
"What about the Tenseigan?"
"No progress either…"
"Then my phone… the communication ninjutsu tool?"
Orochimaru's eyes went blank for a moment, and he said softly, "I forgot."
Lin Yu grabbed Orochimaru by the collar and shouted, "Then what am I satisfied about? What have you concocted that you haven't even made my communication tool!"
Kabuto couldn't help but look to the side. He couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he chose to pretend he saw nothing.
"Lin Yu-kun… after all, I was once your teacher…"
"What good is that! Isn't it the norm in the ninja world to kill your teacher? Orochimaru, do you want to give it a try?!"
Orochimaru's mind immediately thought of Obito, Shisui, Itachi, Nagato, Kakashi, Might Guy… and the new generation Naruto, Sasuke…
Don't all these people call you Lin Yu their teacher? If it really came down to killing teachers, then you, Lin Yu, might be in big trouble.
Orochimaru collected his thoughts and slowly said, "The Rinnegan is known as the Eye of the Sage. If it could be cloned and cultivated so easily, it would be too common."
"But the Otsutsuki clan has a pair for everyone!"
Orochimaru shook his head, "The Otsutsuki clan is different from us humans. They are like a higher form of life."
Orochimaru didn't elaborate on things he hadn't fully researched, saying, "As for Lin Yu-kun's communication ninjutsu tool… in fact, this is a simple matter for me. However, what Lin Yu-kun wants is a communication network that can cover the entire ninja world, right?"
"That's a bit difficult. Not to mention the continent on the other side of the ocean, just covering the area of the Five Great Nations would require building hundreds of communication towers, obtaining the consent of other countries, and arranging personnel for protection…"
Lin Yu's head started to ache from Orochimaru's words, but he couldn't deny that Orochimaru was telling the truth.
"And those deep mountains and forests, uninhabited places…"
"Stop, stop, stop! Those places aren't necessary."
Orochimaru pondered, "If that's the case, we first need to establish communication base stations in the Five Great Nations, and then gradually expand to the smaller countries… as for the main tower to integrate all communication…"
Orochimaru paused at this point and looked at Lin Yu, chuckling, "Lin Yu-kun, do you intend to unify the ninja world?"
"I'm too lazy to do such troublesome things. I just want to flirt with girls outside while still being able to have long phone calls with Kushina at home!"
Orochimaru: "…"
Kabuto: "…"
This blow made Orochimaru think of someone. He still had some grudges to settle with Jiraiya.
However, Orochimaru was speechless. Spending so much financial and human resources just for phone calls?
Can't you just use your space-time ninjutsu to "whoosh" back?
If Lin Yu weren't so powerful and had even a tiny bit of intelligence, Orochimaru would have labeled him as foolish and rich.
"By the way, what was the experimental result you mentioned earlier that could satisfy me?"
Orochimaru took a deep breath. He realized he had been led astray by Lin Yu from the very beginning and had almost forgotten the important matters.
Orochimaru gave Kabuto a look, and the latter retrieved a reagent from a cryo-chamber and handed it to Orochimaru.
"This is a fusion created by combining cells from the Otsutsuki clan, which can further proliferate and alter human cells and tissues."
"As everyone knows, the cells in the human body automatically metabolize, die, and regenerate, but there's a limit. When cells reach their limit, people face death."
"And if cells can regenerate infinitely, the body will always be in its most youthful state. Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seals is an example, but that only delays aging. Tsunade will still grow old, but she can live longer than ordinary people. Of course, this is also related to Tsunade's Senju clan bloodline, but a strong physique is ultimately composed of cells."
Lin Yu took the reagent and asked, "Can this vial of reagent make a person's cells regenerate infinitely?"
Orochimaru answered honestly, "No, but it can gradually cause one's cells to approach those of the Otsutsuki clan, thus obtaining a longer lifespan."
"It seems the organization finally has something that lives up to its name of 'Eternal Life'!"
However, as if thinking of something, Lin Yu frowned, "Otsutsuki clan cells, this is even stronger and more overbearing than Hashirama Senju's cells. Is it something ordinary people can fuse with?"
Orochimaru had anticipated Lin Yu's question and said calmly, "Fusing with Hashirama's cells was for his Wood Style and recovery abilities, as well as the complementarity of Mangekyo sharingan power. The fusion process involves cells devouring each other, which of course, ordinary people cannot withstand."
"But this reagent imbues the body's cells with a trace of the Otsutsuki cell characteristic and gradually transforms them. It requires a long time for the transformation, and the effect is mild."
"Have you named it yet?"
Orochimaru was taken aback, "Not yet."
Lin Yu rubbed his chin, his naming talent in full swing, and said, "How about Aptx4869!"
Seeing Orochimaru's silence, Lin Yu chuckled, "What are the clinical manifestations? How about I try it?"
Orochimaru looked at Lin Yu for a long time before spitting out through gritted teeth, "You don't need to try it, it won't be of much use to you!"
...
(The main story begins)
"Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
*Boom!*
In a valley not far from the Eternal Life Base, a flying, complete Susano'o and a giant Thousand-Armed Buddha statue clashed dozens of times, reducing the entire valley to a flat plain.
Dust billowed into the sky, and if the ninja world had an environmental protection agency, these two would be permanently blacklisted.
Amidst the swirling dust and smoke, both were panting. As old rivals, and not in a life-or-death battle, it was difficult for them to reach a conclusion.
"Madara, this time I'll settle everything with you, principal and interest!"
Uchiha Madara propped himself up with one hand on his knee, panting, "Hashirama, last time was an accident. It was all a trap set by that kid Uzumaki Lin Yu."
Senju Hashirama ignored Uchiha Madara's excuse, instantly entered Sage Mode, and gritted his teeth, "Today, we must settle this! The winner can make one request to the loser!"
"Really!"
Senju Hashirama nodded heavily, "I, Senju Hashirama, never go back on my word!"
Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan instantly transformed into Rinnegan, and a wild, laughing expression appeared on Madara's face.
"Limbo: Hengoku!"
Senju Hashirama, seeing Uchiha Madara's greatly changed demeanor and rapidly increasing combat power, couldn't help but swallow.
Is it too late for him to regret it now?
Referee! I, Senju Hashirama, request time reversal!
...
In the Sacred Realm, Kaguya happily arranged all sorts of gorgeous clothing in her palace. All kinds of them.
Little dresses, evening gowns, qipaos, princess dresses, even sailor uniforms and teacher outfits…
Kaguya didn't understand what uniforms were; she simply wanted to buy every style of clothing!
"It seems I've spent all my money…"
Looking at the empty palace, and then thinking of the furniture in Lin Yu's house, Kaguya's lovely eyes blinked, and she looked down at her flawless, jade-like feet.
"I seem to have forgotten to buy shoes and socks…"
"Should I go find Lin Yu to earn some money again…?"
Thinking of earning money, Kaguya's beautiful face blushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards.
"I can earn money and punish Lin Yu. It seems like a good idea…"
