Chapter 207 The will to stand at the top!
Inside the dim tent, Orochimaru had an extremely morbid and terrifying smile on his face, and his snake eyes were filled with endless ambitions for the future.
"Hehe, the tailed beasts are constantly sealed in the bodies of the Jinchūriki. In the study of this kind of life form, it seems that only the human soul can approach this energy. Does that mean that birth, aging, illness and death are actually the physical body? And the soul can live forever?
If our souls, like the tailed beasts, continue to reside in young and energetic bodies, then can we achieve immortality..."
Although we have known that Orochimaru would go down this path, only after you truly witness the thoughts of this genius madman Orochimaru, can you know that he is so shocking!
"Orochimaru, you are a genius!"
After a while, Uchiha Ye looked at Orochimaru with an expression of shock in his eyes, and uttered these words with great admiration.
"Hehe, Lord Ye, we are both ambitious people who are never satisfied and keep exploring. That's why we are the same kind."
Under Orochimaru's morbid smile, nothing could make him happier than this praise and recognition.
And Uchiha Ye never thought that Orochimaru's inspiration for reincarnation actually came from the tailed beasts.
However, considering that during the Third World War, Orochimaru sneaked into the Hidden Cloud Village and caused the Eight-Tails to run wild, he took a huge risk and took the opportunity to secretly collect the Eight-Tails' cells.
Then Orochimaru should have started studying the power of the tailed beasts from this time, and then began to explore the essential secret of why the tailed beasts have lived for thousands of years. After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox cannot be studied casually in the village.
"No wonder, the entire ninja world, even the Six Paths Sage, has been lost in history, only the tailed beasts have lived for thousands of years..."
Uchiha Ye nodded secretly. After all, immortality was too vague. It was like starting from scratch, and in the entire ninja world, only the tailed beasts could be associated with immortality. How could Orochimaru not be tempted?
This is the first step directly from zero to valuable materials.
Even the spirit beast immortals of the three holy places can only live a little longer.
Now Orochimaru has embarked on this endless scientific road.
"Indeed, according to the research data, the power of the tailed beasts is more of a combination of spiritual power and chakra. In simple terms, they are entities with chakra..."
When Orochimaru heard that Uchiha Ye actually analyzed his data, he didn't mind at all that his research was exposed. Instead, he began to explore it excitedly.
“Ye Jun, I already have a direction. The Kato clan’s secret technique, the Spiritualization Technique, isn’t this the perfect ninjutsu for the soul to leave the body?
Although it is just a preliminary idea now, I believe that one day we will be able to overcome the difficulty of the soul leaving the body and finding a new body..."
At this moment, Orochimaru seemed to have found the true meaning of life, and was so excited that he forgot everything else. However, Uchiha Ye frowned and shook his head after hearing this:
"This initial idea is theoretically feasible, but I have read about the research on the soul in the seal scroll of the second generation Hokage of the Senju clan. After the soul leaves the body, how can it completely break free from the constraints of the original body?
Normally, a soul will die quickly when it leaves the body. Of course, some ninjutsu can slow down this process. Also, when a soul occupies another person's body, there will be a strong rejection..."
Uchiha Ye was not talking nonsense, he had really seen such records in Tsunade's laboratory. These were valuable materials for the Second Hokage's research.
After all, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is forbidden. If you say that the second generation has not studied the two taboos of soul and resurrection, no one will believe it.
However, after hearing this, Orochimaru was not disappointed, but excited and said hoarsely:
"Any ninjutsu is created from scratch. Now that we have a direction and a clue, we have taken the most critical step. As long as we continue to verify, we will succeed."
This thought had been suppressed in his mind for too long. At this moment, Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Ye morbidly with an excited look on his face.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think of the direction of my research on forbidden techniques!?"
Orochimaru couldn't wait to know what Uchiha Ye was thinking, and there was a hint of madness in his light golden snake eyes.
However, Uchiha Ye gently put down the information, looked up at Orochimaru and revealed an equally ambitious smile.
"Human life is too short. Even the most brilliant life is only fleeting. Even a strong man like the first Hokage cannot escape birth, aging, sickness and death. Our ambitions require a long life..."
Inside the dim tent, Uchiha Ye also revealed his ambitions, speaking hoarsely about them.
"Hehe, Ye Jun's ambition is to build a unified and peaceful ninja world, but history has given us the answer. The peaceful world built after the death of the first Hokage collapsed in an instant..."
The two looked at each other and smiled ambitiously.
Only an eternal life can support their endless ambitions!
Both of them are greedy and ambitious!
Uchiha Ye wants to control everything in his heart!
Orochimaru wants to live forever and continue to study and search for the truth of the world.
Although the two have different ambitions, they both want immortality!
"But this research will probably take considerable resources and time."
Uchiha Ye's tone suddenly changed, and there was a meaningful look in his eyes. He didn't believe that Orochimaru was really discussing the secret of immortality with him so purely.
Sure enough, Orochimaru licked his lips with a greedy smile.
"Ye Jun, don't be anxious. Any research is achieved through countless failures. Ye Jun's ambition to become a Hokage is just the first step, and I need a stable and huge amount of funds for research, so we are the same kind."
Suddenly, when he saw Orochimaru mention the Hokage, Uchiha Ye narrowed his eyes.
"Orochimaru, are you so sure that I can become Hokage?"
However, this time, Orochimaru shook his head, revealed a sick smile, and said hoarsely: "Ye-kun, I am not sure about you, but I am sure about Tsunade's support for you!"
Good guy!
Who dares to say that Orochimaru doesn't understand politics? He sees it more clearly than anyone else.
It's hard for Uchiha to become Hokage! Too hard!
But what about Tsunade Senju behind her?
After hearing what Orochimaru said, Uchiha Ye slowly raised his head and couldn't help but smile, revealing his ambition without any concealment.
"Time is the best answer. During the chaotic period of the Warring States Period, the hatred between the families will dissipate over time under the rule of a powerful force..."
Uchiha Ye's ambitious voice echoed in the tent. What he was talking about was the history of Konoha, and also the history of the transition of the ninja world from the Warring States Period to the Ninja Village Period.
"If the Ninja World only has one village! One voice! Then there will be no cruel wars? Then are we the saviors who end the Ninja World War?"
Uchiha Ye slowly turned his head and looked at Orochimaru with a mysterious smile.
"Just like the first Hokage, his powerful strength brought peace to the ninja world and hatred dared not grow. Although his hands are stained with blood, if this person has a long life span, then what do you think will happen!"
When he said this, Uchiha Ye's eyes revealed the excitement of his ambition to become the savior.
“It will bring peace!”
"No matter how strong the hatred is, it will be erased in the long river of time, just like the hatred between Uchiha and Senju during the Warring States Period. Now is the best proof!"
What Uchiha Ye brought out were all naked hard evidence, not arrogant and vague ambitions. The most typical example is the Senju and Uchiha. How deep the hatred between the two sides is, but as time passed, the older generation passed away, and the hatred also dissipated.
After hearing that Uchiha Ye did not hide his equally crazy ambition at all, Orochimaru was filled with a morbid smile.
"Hehe, we are all crazy geniuses."
Uchiha Ye's ambition to unify the ninja world is nothing short of a crazy idea!
But when two crazy people collided with each other, hot sparks were born.
"Hehe, by then I'm afraid the ninja world will welcome the legendary Sage of Six Paths! No! The Sage has disappeared, and it's a true God of the Ninja World that will be welcomed!"
However, after hearing Orochimaru's laughter, Uchiha Ye smiled, "No! It should be that we will join forces to create a new era!"
After hearing such a crazy ambition, the smile on Orochimaru's face became more perverted and paranoid.
"That's right! We will no longer be aliens and ambitious people, but gods who will create a new era in the ninja world!"
At this moment, under the smiles of recognition in the eyes of the two people, a figure with golden hair in the moonlight at the door of the tent, after hearing the crazy discussion of the two people inside, cursed inwardly:
"Two lunatics!"
The figure under the moonlight was the blonde Senju Tsunade. Although Tsunade cursed inwardly at this moment, she still could not hide the shock on her face.
She thought her discovery was outrageous enough, but she didn't expect that Orochimaru and Uchiha Ya were both more outrageous than the other!
One who pursues immortality and wants an endless life to explore the unknown.
Another one, after she brought out her ambitions and desires, was so bold as to want to become the god of the ninja world! And a permanent god!
For Tsunade, this was undoubtedly a shock to her worldview. She couldn't help but feel shocked and stunned. If it were before, she might have thought that this was simply the idea of a lunatic!
But ever since she secretly discovered the secrets of the Senju and Uchiha, her cognition had already been shattered, so this wave of impact could only be described as shocking, not unacceptable.
Although it was a crazy idea! But if it really succeeded, it would really bring peace to the ninja world. Her grandfather had already proved how effective the power of suppression was, but it was just short of immortality.
Becoming the God of the Ninja World at the same time, this is the temptation!
Even Tsunade was moved. While bringing peace to the ninja world, she could also become a god! Who wouldn't be moved?
Moreover, as the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, it would be a lie to say that I am not excited about this research on exploring life.
Slowly walking out of the tent, Uchiha Ye was enjoying the moonlight. In the silence all around, he slowly raised his head, looking directly at the full moon, and his firm belief was revealed as the deep kaleidoscope slowly rotated.
"No one has ever stood on the top of the sky, not you, not me, not even the Sage of Six Paths! But this unbearable vacancy of the throne of heaven should also come to an end. From now on! We will stand together at the top."
At this time, bathed in the moonlight, Uchiha Ye raised his head and squinted his eyes to enjoy the moonlight. Orochimaru, who came out from the side, let out a hoarse laugh.
When Tsunade saw the two of them, she glared at them unhappily. However, the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the excitement in her eyes betrayed her mood at the moment.
"Hehe, it seems that when it comes to the topic of immortality, you, Tsunade, are also excited!"
Orochimaru's straightforward tone made Tsunade beside him nod indifferently.
"No! I just think that Night is the windmill that drives the ninja world forward, just like my grandfather, the Hokage who followed the rules, at most made Konoha strong for a period of time, but the ninja world would still continue to go through the cycle of war..."
"And the research on life may really be able to achieve the concept of peace!" Tsunade's tone suddenly paused when she said this. She turned her eyes to look at Uchiha Ye who was enjoying the moonlight, and couldn't help but smile.
"Becoming a god! This may be a good goal. Shouldn't the granddaughter of the God of the Ninja Realm set this as her goal?"
Tsunade's calm question seemed to be saying, is there anyone in the ninja world more suitable than her to pursue the goal of becoming a god? Her grandfather is the god of the ninja world who pacified the troubled times.
Under the moonlight, Tsunade folded her arms across her chest and smiled dignifiedly, exuding a deep-seated confidence.
If it were someone else, they would probably regard the remarks of these three lunatics as nonsense.
A madman is not scary. What is scary is that the madman is also a genius and has the potential to change the world.
"Hehe, if Jiraiya knew, he would probably think we are all crazy."
At this moment, beneath Orochimaru's magnetic and hoarse laughter, a complex look flashed in his eyes. He was happy that his path was no longer lonely, but also disappointed that some people would not be able to accept it.
"Jiraiya!"
Tsunade looked indifferent after hearing this. Since returning from the end of World War II, she knew that the two sides were on two different paths.
Immortality! This topic makes other ninjas and Jiraiya have absurd thoughts when they know it, and they may even glare at such unrealistic and crazy ideas.
"They are just a bunch of narrow-minded people who live under their fate!"
Facing the two people's sighs, Uchiha Ye slowly turned his head and looked at them with an indifferent expression.
"Before the emergence of ninjas, would samurai and onmyoji know that the emergence of chakra would bring about a revolution in the world? Did they think that ninjas and chakra would replace them?"
No!
It is this kind of constrained thinking that causes them to live under constraints, and no matter how hard they try, they can only live a brilliant life at most, but they cannot drive the world forward.
Only those who break the shackles of the world's destiny and boldly try to move forward can move the world forward.
After hearing this, Bai Zetsu, who was in the dark far away, couldn't help but let out a hoarse smile.
"Hehe, it seems that the outstanding junior that Master Madara has chosen has begun to embark on his own path..."
However, the next moment, Bai Zetsu's smile froze and he could no longer laugh.
Under the moonlight, three figures appeared directly above his head. At this time, Bai Jue, who was in the soil, looked at the three faces that suddenly appeared in astonishment.
Uchiha Ya, Tsunade and Orochimaru, the three of them formed a V-shaped formation.
“Have you been discovered?”
Bai Zetsu's astonished expression gradually turned into a smile. He tilted his head and was not nervous at all when he was surrounded by three Kage-level strongmen.
Thank you all for your support and understanding. The author should be able to go home this afternoon. Let’s see if I can resume updating tomorrow. The latest I have said is that I will resume updating the day after tomorrow.
(Ahem, don’t brag first, or you’ll get slapped in the face)
