Chapter 296 Kimimaro
Orochimaru's eyes widened. He had never imagined that such a training method could allow the human body to continuously evolve. This was not merely a pursuit of power, but a challenge to the limits of life. He realized that this was the true path of human cultivation, a path that could lead humanity into the future.
“I see…” Orochimaru murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He finally understood what Hyuga Neji had said, and he also grasped the profound meaning behind the method Hyuga Kanan practiced. This discovery ignited a strong desire within him; he yearned to explore more of the secrets of this path.
Orochimaru's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. He knew he had found a new goal: to delve deeper into this path of evolution and find a way to break through his own limitations. Hyuga Neji had become the key figure in understanding all of this; he needed to obtain more information about evolution from Hyuga Neji.
Seeing the extreme excitement on Orochimaru's face, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He didn't know why Orochimaru was so interested in the cultivation method he was talking about, but he could sense the fervor deep within Orochimaru's heart.
"Lord Orochimaru, please feel free to ask me any questions," Hyuga Neji said, deciding to tell Orochimaru everything he knew, hoping to help him achieve his ideals.
Orochimaru nodded. He knew Hyuga Neji was intelligent and loyal. He believed that with enough respect, Neji would share everything he had learned from Hyuga Kanan. So, he began discussing the various possibilities of evolution with Neji, looking forward to what the future held.
The people around Orochimaru also showed excited expressions. Although they didn't understand much of what was said, they clearly understood that training would lead to true human evolution. Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's best assistant, especially understood what this meant. It represented the future of humanity, and more importantly, it represented humanity's path to true transcendence.
His eyes gleamed with fervor and anticipation, as if he were witnessing a completely new world unfolding before him. He knew this would be a historic breakthrough, one that would change the fate of humanity. He couldn't help but imagine how wonderful the world would be if everyone could achieve self-transcendence through this cultivation method.
Kabuto took a deep breath, calming his excitement. He secretly resolved to fully support Orochimaru's research and help him achieve this great goal. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would surely create a bright future.
At that moment, Kabuto Yakushi felt an unprecedented sense of mission. He knew he bore a heavy responsibility, to contribute his strength to the progress of humanity. He decided that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges, he would persevere until he realized this dream.
As time passed, darkness gradually enveloped the sky, and the sun set. Only then did Hyuga Neji announce his departure. Before this, he had imparted most of the fundamental knowledge Hyuga Kanan had taught him to Orochimaru without reservation, giving Orochimaru a basic understanding of cultivation. However, beginning formal training was not something Neji could currently assist Orochimaru with. Orochimaru had cultivated the chakra system for decades, and the vast amount of chakra accumulated within him was not easily expelled and refined. Furthermore, changing his long-established training habits was not a task that could be accomplished overnight. This required not only a significant amount of time to correct his previous instinctive reactions to chakra extraction but also to expel the extracted chakra from his body—a process even more difficult. All these issues had to be handled by Hyuga Kanan himself. Currently, the most crucial task was to give Orochimaru a basic understanding of his future training path, thus saving Kanan's future teaching time.
Orochimaru's gaze remained fixed on the direction Hyuga Neji had gone, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face. Everything Neji had told him filled him with unprecedented excitement, as if a door to a new world had been opened. However, he knew all too well the difficulty of achieving this goal. Changing training habits maintained for decades was no easy task, let alone expelling the vast amount of chakra within him. But Orochimaru firmly believed he could overcome all obstacles; he was full of confidence, a confidence stemming from his years of pursuit and exploration of power.
Just then, Kimimaro's condition suddenly changed. He coughed violently, each cough accompanied by a pained expression that evoked pity. At the same time, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, as if foreshadowing something bad about to happen. This sudden turn of events caused the crowd, who had been immersed in joy, to become worried. They watched Kimimaro anxiously, fearing that something might happen to him.
Orochimaru, in particular, showed a barely perceptible hint of worry on his face. After all, Kimimaro was not only his most loyal subordinate but also his prized disciple, whom he had personally trained. However, fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks on people; Kimimaro unfortunately contracted a rare and extremely serious bloodline disease. This disease gradually weakened his body, and even Orochimaru, an expert with profound knowledge of biology, was helpless. Now, Kimimaro's life was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Although he was still fighting bravely against the disease, everyone knew in their hearts that his time was running out.
Orochimaru brought Kimimaro with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity. He knew Kimimaro's health was deteriorating and he was powerless to help. However, when he heard that Hyuga Kanan possessed a unique ability to expel chakra from his body, a bold idea surfaced in his mind: perhaps this mysterious young man could find a way to cure Kimimaro.
After all, the essence of Bloodstained Disease is the erosion and damage to the body caused by a special chakra. This special chakra originates from the inherited power in one's bloodline, but it has become a burden on Kimimaro's body. If Hyuga Kanan can truly expel the chakra within his body, does that mean he might be able to eliminate the special chakra generated by the Bloodstained Limit within Kimimaro's body? This would be an exciting possibility.
Orochimaru gazed at Kimimaro's pale face and frail body, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him. As one of his most prized disciples, Kimimaro had always displayed unparalleled loyalty and strength. But now, his life was drawing to a close, and Orochimaru felt an overwhelming sense of regret and helplessness.
Orochimaru had another important purpose in coming to the training grounds this time—to resolve Kimimaro's Bloodstained Disease. He firmly believed that Hyuga Kanan would have a way to deal with this thorny problem. After all, the onset of the Bloodstained Disease was closely related to Kimimaro's chakra refinement. And in the entire ninja world, Orochimaru believed that no one could compare to Hyuga Kanan in terms of understanding and mastery of chakra. Since he could create a training method that did not require chakra refinement, he must also be able to find a way to deal with Kimimaro's Bloodstained Disease.
Orochimaru knew that to completely cure Kimimaro's Bloodstained Disease, the root cause needed to be addressed. Hyuga Kanan's unique insights and in-depth research into chakra might hold the key to solving this problem. He hoped that Kanan could utilize her exceptional wisdom and abilities to bring new hope to Kimimaro. At the same time, Orochimaru was fully prepared; if Kanan could successfully cure the Bloodstained Disease, he would spare no effort to obtain a treatment method. Kimimaro was too important to him; he couldn't let his capable assistant lose his life due to illness.
Orochimaru knew that training methods were crucial for cultivators, so he decided to carefully organize and understand the training methods taught by Hyuga Neji. This was not only to better master the training techniques, but also to lay a solid foundation for his future training path.
Orochimaru was filled with anticipation. He firmly believed that since Hyuga Kanan had arranged for Hyuga Neji to teach him the cultivation method, it meant that this path of cultivation must have something unique about it. He was confident that as long as he followed this path, he would soon embark on a brand new path of cultivation and gain even greater power.
At the same time, Orochimaru was eager to meet Hyuga Kanan as soon as possible. Only through face-to-face communication with Kanan could he gain valuable experience and guidance from him. Especially regarding Kimimaro's problems, Orochimaru knew that only with Kanan's help could a solution be found.
Orochimaru sat quietly in the room, closed his eyes, and began to carefully recall and ponder every detail that Hyuga Neji had described. He sorted through this information one by one, trying to find the key points and integrate them into his own training system.
As time went on, Orochimaru gradually gained a deeper understanding of the new training methods. He began to try these methods in his training, feeling the changes in the flow of chakra within his body. Although it was only a preliminary attempt, he could already feel the extraordinary effects brought about by this training method.
Orochimaru understood that mastering this training method wouldn't be a quick process; it required constant practice and exploration. But he wasn't discouraged; instead, he was full of confidence. He knew that with perseverance, he would surely achieve greater success on this new path of training. And when he succeeded, it would be the day he met Hyuga Kanan again. At that time, he would eagerly seek Kanan's help to cure Kimimaro's illness.
