Chapter 180 Orochimaru: You can't kill me! Hyuga Neji opens the can: [Plant Modification Fluid No. 1]
"This guy has a big problem."
Hyuga Neji, who had completely left the examination room, frowned as he recalled Danzo's words.
The so-called Konoha advisor who just invited me to join claimed that he could help me break the seal on the Caged Bird Seal.
It's not that people who have separated from their families haven't untied the knot.
But then he said he would be the first person to break the seal on the caged bird.
This is all contradictory.
Secondly, this guy invited me to join the Root organization, not the Dark organization.
The Root, which belongs to the Dark Division, seems to be a completely different thing from the Dark Division itself?
"I need to go back and ask."
Thinking of this guy, Hyuga Neji decided to go back and ask Hyuga Hiashi first.
This advisor from Konoha Village probably doesn't even know that he can communicate with Hiashi Hyuga.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Neji quickly quickened his pace and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory.
When they arrived at Hiashi Hyuga's courtyard, they saw Hiashi Hyuga sitting there, deep in thought, looking at something.
"It's Neji."
The next second, Hyuga Hiashi noticed Hyuga Neji entering and immediately looked up and said, "Looks like the match is over. You've passed the preliminaries, haven't you?"
Although it was a question, the tone was full of certainty.
"It's approved."
Hyuga Neji said softly, "But after I came out, I ran into a guy."
Then, Hyuga Neji briefly explained what had happened when Shimura Danzo had come to see him.
"Hmph, that old geezer."
Upon hearing Neji Hyuga's words, Hiashi Hyuga's face darkened.
Danzo Shimura actually approached Neji Hyuga, something he hadn't expected.
Fortunately, I had already been honest with Hyuga Neji beforehand, which eased the tension between us.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
That damned Danzo.
Thinking about Danzo's actions, Hiashi Hyuga felt an urge to slap that old man Danzo to death.
"This guy is dangerous."
Immediately, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hyuga Neji and said in a deep voice, "You don't know about Root, let me explain it to you properly."
As a genius of the Hyuga clan, Neji Hyuga is currently unaware of most things in the village, making him prone to getting into all sorts of bad situations.
I need to tell Hyuga Neji something.
After all, the few of them knew about the jar shop.
Hiashi Hyuga explained the differences between the Root and the Anbu to Neji Hyuga, along with a series of recent developments.
They even mentioned the incident of Hanabi being attacked, causing Hyuga Neji's pupils to shrink sharply.
So that's what happened.
No wonder they summoned him back then.
In front of Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hiashi revealed some secrets about Konoha Village, leaving Hyuga Neji silent.
A long while passed before Hiashi Hyuga finished speaking, while Neji Hyuga remained silent.
I never imagined that the relationship between family and village would be so complicated.
"Did you also open the jar?"
Looking at the silent Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hiashi changed the subject and said softly, "You should understand that if you want to revive your father as soon as possible, or break the seal on your head, you need to open the jars. You can't miss any. Once you miss one, you will always be fewer than others who have opened more jars."
He gave money to Hyuga Neji.
But when he went to open the can a few days ago, he learned that Hyuga Neji didn't seem to have opened it.
"I've been training with Teacher Kai and sparring with Li, so I haven't had a chance to go open up."
Hyuga Neji shook his head and said, "I was originally planning to open the jar today, but I ran into this advisor, Shimura Danzo, so I came back to ask you first."
"If you can open it, do so as soon as possible. Don't waste time. Recently, some people in the family have suggested cutting resources for those who have branched out."
Hiashi Hyuga said in a deep voice, "But you don't need to worry about the money for opening the jars every month. Just come to me for it. If you can revive your father as soon as possible, I'll spend as much money as I can."
"Moreover, your seal must be broken as soon as possible, because not only can I control your curse seal, but other clan elders can also control it. Sometimes I can't take care of you."
"I see."
Hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Neji Hyuga was taken aback, then nodded.
He then bid farewell to Hiashi Hyuga and headed to the jar shop.
When Hyuga Neji went to the jar shop.
the other side.
A building in Konoha Village.
From here, you can easily overlook the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Kabuto Yakushi knelt respectfully on one knee before Orochimaru and said, "Lord Orochimaru, the preliminary rounds have ended, and the official matches will begin in a month. However, Konoha has already started notifying ninjas to be dispatched there a few days ago."
"It's really peaceful here."
Hearing Kabuto's words, Orochimaru gazed at the bustling Konoha in the distance and said softly, "This country is enjoying too much peace and tranquility. Other countries are actively engaged in the arms race."
"I wonder if it would be fun to take that old man's head off."
"Do you really think so?"
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Kabuto narrowed his eyes, stood up slightly, and said slowly, "It seems to me that you haven't made up your mind yet."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru turned his head and looked over.
Kabuto Yakushi looked directly into Orochimaru's eyes and continued, "From now on, the forces of the various ninja villages will clash fiercely for a long time, and even the Sound Village will be no exception. You want to be the fuse that ignites it."
"And that child is just cannon fodder to detonate it."
"Uchiha Sasuke, am I right?"
"Hehe, you're too perceptive, it makes me uncomfortable."
Orochimaru stared intently at Kabuto Yakushi.
The pharmacist remained calm and said softly, "Not at all. At least we know nothing about what happened to Tos and the others. I didn't expect you to be here. It seems you don't trust me very much."
"As my future right hand, you don't need to be distracted by them at all; they have things to do."
Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi and slowly said, "This also proves that I trust you very much."
Kabuto the Pharmacist: "."
"Therefore, I'm entrusting Sasuke to you."
Orochimaru tilted his head and looked at Kabuto Yakushi: "It seems that the cursed seal I placed has been sealed by Kakashi. Although that's not a big deal, you'd better bring him here as soon as possible before the darkness in his heart completely fades away."
"Excuse my bluntness, but you're acting a bit strangely."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Kabuto Yakushi paused, then pondered, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Because an unexpected event occurred."
"You mean Naruto Uzumaki?"
"good."
Orochimaru nodded: "As an avenger, Sasuke lived to kill his brother, and until that, he would never give up on becoming stronger."
"Furthermore, based on the information you've gathered, Sasuke's inner thoughts seem to have changed since he graduated and started dating that Nine-Tails brat."
"Since Sasuke is so deeply affected, it's best to separate them as soon as possible so he can accept my influence sooner."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi fell silent for a moment.
He nodded immediately, then turned and left.
"Dou ah."
Watching Kabuto leave, Orochimaru sneered and said, "If you want to stop me, the only way is to kill Sasuke now."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously paused in his steps.
But Kabuto did not turn around.
Orochimaru, however, glared at him and said, "You can't kill me. Although you are strong, you are at most Kakashi's level."
Upon hearing this, the pharmacist broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hehe, go ahead."
Even though he was facing Kabuto's back, Orochimaru seemed to sense Kabuto's nervousness, chuckled, and said, "I was just kidding. Go ahead, I believe in you."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
My tense body relaxed instantly.
Then I just walked over there.
"It's time to leave."
Watching Kabuto leave, Orochimaru also walked in another direction.
"It's okay that we didn't get what we wanted from the Nine-Tailed Demon."
"I've received the so-called rice balls and tested them."
Thinking this to himself, Orochimaru left.
We can get that ring from Naruto Uzumaki another time.
He no longer has the extra time to wait passively for opportunities to come to him.
At this moment.
the other side.
In the jar shop.
Neji Hyuga also came here.
Upon arriving here, I encountered Tsunade and Lin Mo from the jar shop.
Hyuga Neji glanced at Tsunade subconsciously, then immediately looked away and said to Lin Mo, "Shopkeeper, I'm here to open the jar."
"Okay, sure."
Seeing Hyuga Neji walk in, Lin Mo smiled and nodded.
Great.
Hyuga Neji is here; we can sell ten more jars now.
"From the Hyuga clan."
Tsunade, who was watching this scene from the side, was immediately intrigued.
She had heard Hiashi Hyuga mention this brat from a branch family of the Hyuga clan.
I didn't expect them to be opening jars too.
Under Tsunade's watchful eye, Hyuga Neji handed over the money Lin Mo Hiashi had given him and selected ten jars.
Looking at the ten jars in front of him, Hyuga Neji did not hesitate at all and decisively smashed open the first one.
"Bang!
The first jar shattered, and a blue orb of light fell out.
"The chakra of an ordinary genin."
After glancing at the blue ball of light, Lin Mo said, "Not bad luck."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Hyuga Neji did not hesitate at all. He immediately reached out and touched it, instantly merging with the chakra ball. He felt his chakra level rise once again, and his eyes lit up with joy.
He had been training his physical skills with Rock Lee.
Due to the intense training pressure of the Saiyans, he didn't have time to refine his chakra.
The chakra of these genin has greatly compensated for the time he has to refine his chakra.
Neji Hyuga was overjoyed to see his taijutsu and chakra both improve.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hyuga Neji smashed open the second jar.
"Bang!"
The second jar broke, and a ninja headband fell off.
"The headband of a ninja from Sunagakure."
Lin Mo glanced at the object, his expression somewhat strange, but he still shook his head and spoke.
"This kind of thing."
Hyuga Neji frowned as he looked at the Sand Village ninja headband in front of him.
This thing is useless to him.
To him, these things from other ninja villages were nothing more than scrap metal.
It's a pity the shop owner doesn't have a trash can here, otherwise I could just throw it in the trash can.
With that thought in mind, Hyuga Neji continued to knock on the third jar.
"Bang!"
The third can broke, and a long, blue-white cigarette fell out.
【Yogurt Bursting Bead Cigarette】This cigarette comes from an unknown world. It quickly took over the market in a certain place by using its sweet and mellow yogurt flavor. It has a low tar content. Light it up, take a couple of puffs, and then squeeze the bead in the cigarette to burst it. You will feel an incredibly rich and overwhelming yogurt flavor. The mouthpiece is very sweet and sour.
"Um"
Looking at the description of this item, Lin Mo rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
I haven't seen this cigarette brand in a long time.
This thing left a deep impression on Lin Mo.
He tried this stuff before. How should I put it? It's only suitable for some beginners; it's definitely not something experienced players would like.
"Yogurt-flavored cigarettes."
Immediately, Lin Mo shook his head, no longer thinking about irrelevant things, and simply explained the cigarette brand, which made Hyuga Neji frown.
Cigarettes?
He hates cigarettes.
However, many ninjas in Konoha smoke.
The Naruto even led the way in drawing lots.
The pungent smell made Hyuga Neji very uncomfortable.
However, he has also tried yogurt and quite liked it.
Can this really be made into cigarettes?
"interesting."
Beside her, Tsunade looked over with interest: "It smells like yogurt? How is this made?"
When it comes to cigarettes, isn't the taste what you're looking for?
Tsunade always felt that the smell of cigarettes was mostly tobacco, it was just a matter of how strong it was.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, his expression turned strange. Yogurt can be made into cigarettes?
Does that mean other flavors can all be made into cigarettes?
It was as if a door to a new world had opened in her mind.
"What Lady Tsunade likes, you can have."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Hyuga Neji did not hesitate at all and immediately handed the cigarette in his hand to Tsunade.
"I'll just take one pack to try."
Upon hearing Hyuga Neji's words, Tsunade smiled faintly.
He took it without any politeness and casually opened it.
Lin Mo then slowly said, "Of course, cigarettes are man-made, so any flavor can be added, whether it's yogurt, milk, or cola. As long as you know how to make them, you can make them."
While Lin Mo was speaking, Tsunade had already opened a packet and lit a cigarette.
"The taste is very bland."
After just one bite, Tsunade frowned slightly.
She didn't really like Dan Yan.
At the same time, Tsunade crushed the explosion bead.
I took another puff, and sure enough, a rich yogurt flavor wafted out, instantly replacing the tobacco aroma.
"Hmm, not bad."
In a split second, Tsunade nodded: "But I'm still not used to smoking it. This kind of thing is only suitable for kids."
As she spoke, Tsunade handed the remaining cigarette to Hyuga Neji.
At this moment, Hyuga Neji also smelled a faint yogurt aroma and his expression froze.
This smells actually quite nice?
Subconsciously, Hyuga Neji also made up his mind to have a slap when he got back.
With that thought in mind, Hyuga Neji turned his attention back to the remaining jars.
"Bang!"
Hyuga Neji made his move, and the fourth jar broke.
This time, a syringe fell out.
The syringe also contained a green, transparent liquid, which made Hyuga Neji's expression grow increasingly strange: "Something related to medical ninjas?"
Both the syringe and the liquid inside seem to be related to medical ninjas.
【Plant Modification Liquid No. 1】This plant modification liquid comes from an unknown world and can transform plants into various kinds of food. Each plant has its own plant modification liquid. The liquid is injected into the plant with a needle, and then the plant will flower and bear fruit. You can get food by opening the fruit. Plant Modification Liquid No. 1 can only be used on trees. The fruit that grows will be steak rice when opened.
At this moment, Lin Mo was also surprised when he saw what Hyuga Neji had brought out.
Isn't this the magical plant-transforming liquid from Doraemon's world?
This thing is pretty good.
However, this limitation is too great; it's just steak rice.
Immediately, Lin Mo spoke up, explaining the effects of this substance to Hyuga Neji. Neji's eyelids twitched wildly as he listened: "Mr. Lin Mo, you're saying this thing can make steak?"
This is a completely different thing.
How can plants make steak rice?
Will the fruits that grow on plants be hot meals?
Or steak and rice?
Although I know that Mr. Lin Mo's jars are magical, this is no longer a matter of whether they are magical or not.
It's not that he's never eaten steak before.
But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with plants at all.
"good."
Lin Mo nodded: "This liquid comes in different grades, and each grade corresponds to a different food."
Hyuga Neji: "."
Tsunade: "."
"According to you, Lin Mo, this kind of thing is very beneficial to ninjas."
Tsunade's expression was strange.
This sounds perfect for ninjas going out on missions.
If you encounter all sorts of dangers in the wild, just find a tree and give it a shot, and you can enjoy a hot and delicious meal.
Still steak.
Immediately afterwards, Hyuga Neji carefully kept this item close to his body as a keepsake.
If what the shop owner said is true, this item will be very useful when I go out on missions with Teacher Kai and the others in the future.
After putting that away, Hyuga Neji continued to knock on the fifth jar.
"Bang!"
A glass bottle of liquid fell out.
The glass was large, and the bottle contained a yellowish-orange liquid.
【Plum Wine】A drink from an unknown world, made with carefully selected green plums as raw materials. The production process takes a full 10 days. It is blended with single sorghum liquor, bringing a delicate plum aroma and floral and fruity fragrance. The taste is sweet and sour. It tastes even better when served on the rocks.
"Plum wine, a type of alcoholic beverage."
Looking at the beverage, Lin Mo gave a brief explanation.
"They're all strange and unusual things."
After listening to Lin Mo's words, Hyuga Neji sighed inwardly.
He wants something to increase his strength.
At a higher level, it's about breaking the curse seal.
Hiashi Hyuga's words were still echoing in his mind.
