Chapter 273: Orochimaru's Intent on Immortality
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye a month has passed.

During this month, Kakashi, Mei Terumi and a group of people traveled around the world, trying to find information about Obito in another world. However, due to their lack of experience, even with the convenience of the empire, they still could not find any useful information.

On the contrary, the world-suppressing device in the Imperial Capital Laboratory was being improved in an orderly manner and had already been engraved on Uzumaki Menma's body.

With the amount of chakra that Uzumaki Menma has, it is no problem for him to maintain the world-suppressing outfit for four or five hours without using the Nine-Tails.

Of course, this is without taking combat into consideration. If combat is necessary, it can only last about two and a half hours.

At this moment, Jiu Xing and Orochimaru were in a laboratory.

In front of the two of them was Uzumaki Nagato, whose chakra was imprisoned.

At this moment, after experiencing the methods used by the Yamanaka clan, Uzumaki Nagato had all the information in his mind dug out even if he didn't want to.

During this period, he tried to commit suicide more than once, but fortunately he was stopped by the special guards.

"Yanyan should be here, right?"

Jiu Xing estimated the time and looked at Orochimaru on the side.

Orochimaru was about to speak when he found that the door of the laboratory was suddenly opened and a sweet-talking girl walked in.

"Dad!"

"And Lord Jiu Xing!"

"What do you want from me?"

Because of Orochimaru, Senju Hoen often goes in and out of the experimental building, which is as familiar to her as her own home.

"Alas?"

"Who is this guy?"

Senju Hoennen ran to Orochimaru and looked at Uzumaki Nagato, who was unconscious after being injected with anesthetic, in confusion.

"Yanyan, use the power of the human way to extract his soul."

Orochimaru said as he looked at his greatest masterpiece.

"???"

"The human way?"

"Wouldn't he be dead then?"

Senju Flame's face froze slightly when she heard Orochimaru's words, and then she said somewhat unnaturally.

Hearing what Senju Flame said, Jiu Xing frowned slightly, but still controlled his temper and his eyes fell on Orochimaru.

Facing Jiu Xing's dissatisfied gaze, Orochimaru also looked a little unhappy, and said in a slightly tough tone:

"Be obedient and do as you are told."

Looking at the somewhat dissatisfied Orochimaru in front of him, Senju Yanyan shrank his neck, and then said reluctantly:

"OK then……"

Under the gazes of Kyuuki and Orochimaru, Senju Hoen Ho walked in front of Uzumaki Nagato. Before she began to use the power of the Rinnegan, the Rinnegan in her eye sockets appeared uncontrollably.

"I guessed right. This is the result of the resonance between the two pairs of Samsara eyes."

Jiu Xing couldn't help but understand what was happening when he saw the scene in front of him.

“How come you see?”

Orochimaru couldn't help but smile in interest.

"You really don't know?"

Jiu Xing glanced at Orochimaru, totally unconvinced that the other party hadn't guessed it.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to trust my judgment so much, Jiu Xing."

Orochimaru showed his signature smile and continued, "Not only that, I'm also thinking about whether I can let Flame absorb the power of Uzumaki Nagato's pair of Samsara eyes."

"That's exactly what I meant."

The fate of Uzumaki Nagato seemed to have been decided between Kyuuki and Orochimaru.

The two of them did not intend to hide their words from Senju Homura at all, which made Senju Homura pause when she reached out to Uzumaki Nagato.

"Yanyan."

Orochimaru noticed this action and spoke calmly, his tone undignified.

"Yes……"

Jiu Xing watched as Senju Yanyan slowly placed her hand on Uzumaki Nagato's head. As an invisible force pulled out, Uzumaki Nagato's body was also entangled unconsciously.

Even in a deep sleep, he made sounds as if he was struggling.

Jiu Xing could clearly sense that Uzumaki Nagato's soul was forcibly pulled out by Senju Hoen and merged into Senju Hoen's body.

Thousand Hands Yanyan just stood there in a daze, digesting this huge force.

Rather than saying it is power, it is more like everything that Uzumaki Nagato has experienced in his life, from childhood to adulthood, no matter how big or small. There are some things that even Uzumaki Nagato himself has forgotten, but under this power, Senju Honoka knows them all.

"It's up to you to decide whether or not you can extract the power of Uzumaki Nagato's Rinnegan." Jiu Xing said calmly.

"Jiu Xing-kun, you really think highly of me."

"This is the power of the highest pupil technique. Even I..."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiu Xing:
"what do you want?"

"The one who understands me is Jiu Xing."

"I want to study your body."

Orochimaru looked at Jiu Xing who was unmoved and continued:

"Your body has perfectly inherited the power of the Uzumaki clan."

"I found genes in the Uzumaki clan that are shared with the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan, the Hyuga clan, and the Kaguya clan."

"I have every reason to believe that these five ethnic groups once belonged to the same family."

"And your body has the blood of the dead, the flesh and bones of the living. This is because Uzumaki Mika's physical healing is equally amazing, but it cannot compare to yours."

"so……"

"Are you doing human experiments?" Jiu Xing looked at Orochimaru.

"Um, this..."

Orochimaru froze when he met the gaze of the man in front of him.

Even though the man in front of him did nothing and just looked at him, he had almost no courage to resist.

There was no chakra, no aura, just a pair of eyes as clear as water looking at him, which made Orochimaru lose the courage to resist.

Cold sweat slowly flowed down his cheeks, and the other person's gaze almost suffocated him.

"Where did you get Mika's information?"

Although Kyuuki has rarely had contact with Uzumaki Mika over the years, I believe that if Orochimaru needs her physical information, Mika will definitely tell Kyuuki the first time.

"That woman works at the Empire's No. 1 Hospital. It's not difficult to get her blood. Besides, she has given birth before."

Orochimaru was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Is that so?"

"But Orochimaru, have you ever thought about it? The Samsara Eye in Senju Yanyan's eye sockets is not Senju Yanyan's, nor is it yours."

"Did you get the order of priority wrong?"

Looking at the silent Orochimaru, Jiu Xing patted his shoulder and said:
"Forget about this time. I can tell you very clearly that the five ninja clans you just mentioned all belong to the same clan."

"The name of this clan is the Otsutsuki clan."

The Otsutsuki clan?
Hearing a word he had never heard before coming out of Jiu Xing's mouth, Orochimaru showed a look of confusion.

"If you want to study the Otsutsuki, you should prepare in the near future."

After saying that, Jiu Xing left without looking back.

The Otsutsuki that Kyuuki was referring to was naturally the Otsutsuki Isshiki who was hidden in the ninja world.

It has been quite some time since the last time Otsutsuki Hagoromo came to see him.

It's time to catch this rat that has been hiding for thousands of years.

"Dad..."

Qianju Yanyan approached cautiously. Although she was receiving Uzumaki Nagato's memories and combat experience, she was fully aware of the outside world.

At that moment, she finally realized what the so-called uncrowned king of the empire was like.

The empire does not exist because of peace, nor does it exist because of the first monarch Uzumaki Kaoru, but it exists because Jiu Xing wants the empire to exist.

The life and death of the empire depends entirely on Jiu Xing's thoughts.

Even the so-called Rinnegan could not be a match for Jiu Xing.

In other words, the Rinnegan cannot pass the test of Hashirama Senju, who rules the fourth parallel universe, and Team 7, which is composed of Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Menma from the second parallel universe.

No, it’s probably a question whether he can defeat Uchiha Sasuke alone.

If you want to defeat Uzumaki Kyuyuki, you must at least add all these people together.

But is this possible?
"It's okay. I was impulsive about this matter."

Orochimaru stroked Senju Homura's hair to comfort her.

Jiu Xing couldn't help but think of Orochimaru on the way to the Ryumai Palace.

He knew clearly what Orochimaru's purpose was.

It’s simply for the sake of immortality.

Jiu Xing is not interested in immortality.

It is because of birth, aging, sickness and death that people can be called human beings.

Having immortality certainly means having unlimited potential.

However, as time goes by, the people around me leave one by one, and the loneliness is chilling just thinking about it.

At that time, what kind of impact would such a being with infinite lifespan and unlimited potential have on the world?
And in a sense, Orochimaru is a man with no taboos.

Just because Jiu Xing can suppress him now doesn’t mean he can always be suppressed.

Jiu Xing will die sooner or later.

At that time, who else could suppress Orochimaru?
Perhaps Orochimaru will continue to protect this country and this hard-earned peace.

But at the same time, a thought may give rise to inappropriate thoughts.

Even Jiu Xing had to admit that Orochimaru had more potential than him.

In every sense.

Jiu Xing is currently just suppressing him with her strength.

Give Orochimaru time and he will surpass Kuyuki.

If Kyushu could defeat the Otsutsuki clan during his lifetime, then the day Kyushu died would also be the day Orochimaru died.

If Kyuuki had not defeated the Otsutsuki clan, then Orochimaru would have been the most important force against the Otsutsuki clan.

Even the so-called reincarnation of Ashura and Indra is not as important as one Orochimaru.

But now Orochimaru wants to study the Otsutsuki, so Kyuuki will give him an Otsutsuki!

In order to ensure that the old bastard Otsutsuki Isshiki can be caught, relying on Jiu Xing alone is not enough, he needs more manpower!

—The Fourth Parallel Universe—

Wind Domain Dragon Vein Palace
"who!"

Following an angry shout, a figure appeared in the vast purple light.

"You don't even recognize me?"

Looking at Liedou who had a frozen face in front of him, Jiu Xing didn't care about the other party's panic.

Ever since the fourth parallel universe was incorporated into the empire, this guy has naturally become part of the empire.

It was just because he had tried to fight for the autonomy of the Wind Kingdom in this world before, although Jiu Xing did not do anything to settle accounts with him.

But those in a higher position often don't need to say much, and the people below will naturally arrange things.

Even if the superiors don't care or don't even know about it.

So Liedou's life was not very good.

"Master Jiu Xing."

Liedou quickly knelt on one knee.

"Where is Hashirama?" Jiu Xing asked.

"Hashirama-sama is in the capital."

Reito responded hastily.

But the person in front of him did not respond to him, and he did not dare to raise his head at all.

After an unknown amount of time, Liedou's knee became numb. He then raised his head cautiously, only to find that Jiuxing had already left at some point.

……

Jiu Xing's body turned into golden light and quickly crossed the mountains and rivers towards the fire region.

This world made the same decision as the Jiuxing World, opening up the mountains of the Rain Kingdom to allow the air currents from the ocean to flow into the Wind Kingdom, so the environment has been well maintained along the way.

Going straight into the capital, following the direction of the chakra, Jiu Xing found the person he wanted to see.

Between Thousand Arms Pillars.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju was wearing a black robe and sitting by a river fishing.

"You came?"

Jiuxing did not hide his presence. When Jiuxing arrived at the capital, Senju Hashirama knew he was coming.

"Has the mission over there at Mito been completed?"

Senju Hashirama had no intention of getting up. He was concentrating on his fishing float.

"It's halfway done. I'll give you the new thing later. It has pretty good defensive capabilities."

Jiu Xing sat next to Senju Hashirama and started chatting with him.

"defense?"

"Is my ranking technique as defensive as it is?"

Hashirama Senju's ranking technique is the strongest defensive ninjutsu of Wood Release, and can completely block a Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

"I don't know, but he was able to take my Boiling Punch in Sage Mode. I haven't tried a higher limit yet."

Jiu Xing's words made Senju Hashirama pause, and then said:
"If that's the case, then I'd be remiss to refuse."

Hashirama Senju was well aware of Kyuuki's strength. Being able to withstand his punch was not much inferior to the ranking technique.

"It's a rare visit for you. I caught some fish. It's a good opportunity to try some fresh fish."

Senju Hashirama pointed to the fish basket next to him. Jiu Xing took a look and saw that this guy had a big catch.

"This fish is extremely delicious. You must try it."

Jiu Xing did not refuse the other party's invitation and said:

"We'll taste the fish later. Now I have something important to explain."

"What makes you nervous?"

Senju Hashirama couldn't help but feel curious.

"Otsutsuki."

next day
"While I'm away, the country will be handed over to you."

Jiu Xing couldn't help but look sideways at the woman in front of him who was entrusted by Hashirama Senju.

This woman is none other than the Uchiha Hikari of this world.

Uchiha Hikaru, who was already 23 years old, had grown into a graceful young lady. Even Jiu Xing couldn't help but take a second look at her.

"Leave it to me."

Uchiha Hikaru... No, she has abandoned this surname, and even her eyes are ordinary dark pupils.

Now she is just light, without a last name.
