Chapter 271 Hashirama Cells and the Cursed Seal, Orochimaru (the sixth son)
"Hmm, what is this? It feels so familiar??" As soon as he returned to his original form, Ishikawa was captivated by the soft, jade-like, beautiful fullness and the sensation of touch before him...
Mmm, so soft, so big...
"You bastard, you really are a hidden pervert." Almost at the same time, Tsunade was also awakened by Ishikawa's actions and scolded him with shame.
He shoved Ishikawa aside, then, with a hostile look in his eyes but feigning composure, asked, "So, how's Orochimaru?"
"With the special ability of the Spirit Transformation Technique, you do indeed have a chance to kill Orochimaru, who has lost his hands and soul!"
Instantly, Tsunade's words diverted Jiraiya, Naruto, and Shizune's attention from the previous ambiguity, and they all stared intently at Ishikawa, waiting anxiously...
"Sorry, I failed! Orochimaru truly lives up to his reputation as one of the legendary Sannin. His Reanimation Jutsu has transformed his soul into the White Phosphorus Serpent, making him far beyond my capabilities." Ishikawa lied through his teeth, but the information he revealed caused everyone to pale.
"Reincarnation of the Undead?"
"The White Phosphorus Serpent??"
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with indescribable shock and complex emotions.
Has Orochimaru completely transformed from a human into a monster, inside and out?
"Captain, I couldn't find Kabuto Yakushi over there. It seems he escaped." Just as everyone was silent, Karin quickly teleported over and reported in a deep voice.
Ishikawa simply nodded silently, not paying any attention to it!
He doesn't care about Kabuto at all now; if he runs away, so be it, it doesn't matter anyway.
"Alright, now that things have come to this, let's hurry back to Konoha! Tsunade, the village also needs you to go back as soon as possible to help Kakashi negotiate with Sunagakure."
"Negotiation!!" Tsunade's beautiful eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded repeatedly, instantly recalling what Ishikawa had said earlier.
We must return as soon as possible to prevent the village from being deceived by Sunagakure and failing to obtain a huge compensation.
Without hesitation, Tsunade waved her hand, signaling the others to turn around and go back to the inn to get their things.
"Huh? We're going back already?? I haven't finished training the Rasengan yet, and I haven't asked Granny Tsunade for reimbursement for the 50,000 ryo last night." Naruto smiled wryly. If he went back, who would he ask for compensation for his losses?
"Grandma?" Tsunade's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, then her eyebrows shot up and she grabbed Naruto's ear. "You should call me sister, you should call me sister!"
"Seriously, someone as stupid as you can learn the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan? But for Jiraiya's sake, I'll give you a chance! If you can learn the Rasengan within a week, I might consider reimbursing you for your losses."
"Hmph, don't underestimate me! One week is fine, I will definitely prove my abilities and get my losses back." Naruto vowed through gritted teeth, leaving Ishikawa stunned.
Uh, no, so this has nothing to do with Hashirama's necklace?
Sorry, Naruto. I accidentally interrupted your chance to show off again. Be careful next time.
"Karin, you go with Lady Tsunade and the others. I'll take that guy to meet up with Taro and the others. We'll meet in Konoha." Thinking about the deal he still had to make with Orochimaru, Ishikawa made an excuse and left in a flash.
"That guy?" Jiraiya asked suspiciously, turning his head to look at him. Karin quickly nodded and explained, "He's Orochimaru's subordinate. He ambushed the captain and was captured by him earlier."
Jiraiya was about to ask another question when Tsunade interrupted him with a gesture of displeasure, urging, "Hurry up and leave, don't waste time here."
The information Ishikawa obtained about the Fourth Kazekage being killed by Orochimaru must have come from here, but this is not the time to question and investigate further.
Soon, under Tsunade's urging, Jiraiya and his group packed their belongings and quickly embarked on their journey back to the village.
Night, outside the town of Shuba.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you sure that guy cured Kimimaro's bloodline disease? Could it be that this is just a trap?" In the dark forest, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but question again despite the cold wind blowing through him.
He was unsure of Ishikawa's abilities, but he knew everything about Kimimaro's bloodline disease.
Let alone Ishikawa, even if Tsunade, known as a medical genius, were to personally intervene, she would not be able to cure that critically ill body on the verge of collapse.
Therefore, he is more inclined to believe that this was a trap set by Ishikawa to ambush Lord Orochimaru.
"Kabuto, are you questioning my decision?" Orochimaru's eyes turned cold, and he sneered. How could he not tell whether Ishikawa was lying or not?
If it were an ambush, that guy wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble!
"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru. I just..." Kabuto Yakushi quickly bowed his head and apologized, but before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly flew from the depths of the forest towards the two of them.
"Lord Orochimaru, be careful..." Kabuto Yakushi shouted instinctively, hurriedly forming hand seals to make his move.
However, Orochimaru, standing nearby, curled his lips into a smile and used his body to block the shadow with a light tap on the ground.
"Kimimaro!!" Kabuto Yakushi's expression changed upon seeing the dark figure's face, a mixture of surprise and delight. He immediately stepped forward and, using the moonlight, carefully examined Kimimaro's condition. His expression then turned to one of utter shock and disbelief...
"How is this possible? Kimimaro's physical functions have completely returned to normal, and are even far superior to what they were before??"
Hearing Kabuto's surprised expression, Orochimaru's smile widened as he turned his gaze to a certain direction. "Ishikawa-kun, you really didn't lie to me."
“Of course, Orochimaru.” Ishikawa slowly walked out of the woods, glanced at Kabuto Yakushi, and then held out his hand. “I’ve shown my sincerity. Now, what do I want?”
"Let me warn you, if you leave with Kimimaro now, you'll only get an empty shell. There's no way you'll be able to absorb Kimimaro's soul to restore your hands!"
Upon hearing this, a flash of shock crossed Orochimaru's eyes. He hadn't expected that Ishikawa knew all about his plans.
No wonder the other party wasn't afraid of him going back on his word and directly took out Kimimaro's body; it turns out they were prepared in advance.
"Don't worry, I will fulfill all the conditions I promised." Orochimaru said calmly, and then opened his mouth and spat out two scrolls, one large and one small.
"Here are what you wanted: Hashirama cells and cursed seal data." Orochimaru tossed two scrolls toward Ishikawa with a flick of his wrist, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes.
"Finally got you, Hashirama cell." Ishikawa took the scroll with burning excitement, and immediately opened the small scroll to reveal the flesh and blood nutrient solution bottle inside.
Although it's only the size of a thumb and a bit small, it's enough for Ishikawa for now!
Orochimaru couldn't possibly have that many of Hashirama's original cells, let alone trade them with him like this.
"I will be able to verify the authenticity of the item. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, I will release Kimimaro's soul later and allow him to return to his original body." Without checking the cursed scroll, Ishikawa put it away and turned to leave.
Anyway, he can't figure it out, so let's ask Tsunade to study it later...
"Wait, Ishikawa-kun." Just then, Orochimaru suddenly called out.
Ishikawa paused, turned around, and was about to ask a question when he saw Orochimaru's head suddenly transform into a long snake and bite at the back of his neck with lightning speed.
【This is it!!】
In the blink of an eye, just as Ishikawa was about to unleash his Lightning Release Armor, he suddenly hesitated for a moment, then felt a pain in the back of his neck as a surge of power was injected into his body.
"Hehehe, this is a gift for you. Since you like cursed seals so much, I'll give you this most original cursed seal essence. Ishikawa-kun, I hope you won't disappoint me..."
"Orochimaru, you old bastard, you have no martial ethics!" Seeing the arrogant and smug Orochimaru, Ishikawa endured the pain in his body and instantly left.
Despite appearing annoyed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sensing the changes within his body, other thoughts began to arise...
He had always longed to form a contract with the three holy lands in order to learn immortal techniques, but if he could integrate the origin of this curse seal into his body and develop an immortal mode, wouldn't that save him several years of detours?
After all, in the alternate universe of Boruto, Mitsuki's Sage Mode is ultimately Orochimaru's Cursed Seal Sage Technique.
