Konoha: Sage Body

Konoha Hospital's basement level, in front of the data room door.

Kirito smoothly entered the data room by explaining the reason to the guards, and then picked up the cleaning tools inside and started cleaning.

Of course, he didn't really do the cleaning honestly, he directly used the Shadow Clone Technique, using a small amount of chakra to create more than ten Shadow Clone that only existed for an hour, half of which helped with the cleaning, and the remaining half to help him treasure hunt in the data room, to see if he could find some valuable information.

Unfortunately, Konoha had done a good job of keeping the information secret, and most of the information placed in the data room was medical records, and the only thing that Konoha found of some value was some information that documented failures.

These records of failures were all records of various failed experiments conducted by the research and development staff at the hospital.

There was the failure to develop some kind of drug that boosted the amount of chakra.

There was the failure of researching cell fusion.

There was the failure to develop artificial organs.

...

Because of the failures, they were regarded as a disgrace, and eventually they were thrown here like worthless trash to eat dust, waiting to be found or destroyed one day.

While the people in the hospital treated them as scrap, Kirito treated them like treasure.

He had been studying biology for the past two years and had experienced countless failures, but he knew in his heart that even failed experiments had value, at least they removed many obstacles to success.

Success was never that easy.

Kirito read the documented failures with relish, holding them in his hands and fitting the words on them into his head with the speed of a single glance.

With so many failures as sustenance, he was surely able to take another big step towards success.

However, the amount of information was really too much, and even if they only made up a small portion of the total amount of information in the data room, it was still not something that Kirito could pack up and put into his head in a short period of time.

But that's okay, there's a long way to go.

Kirito was confident that he could pack away all of these treasures.

With Tsumo, the great and good man, he would have many opportunities to come in here and learn in the future.

On the other hand, Kirito was also using a mini shadow clone to look at the compensation gift that Orochimaru had given him.

Orochimaru's things were usually harmful, so Kirito didn't dare to touch them with his main body.

Saving the principle of not wasting chakra, he used a little bit of chakra to create a mini shadow clone to touch the compensation gift given by Orochimaru.

"Soft physique modification experiment, what the heck, garbage stuff."

Kirito said with a look of disgust after reading the contents on top of the scroll.

Soft physique modification belongs to Orochimaru's unique secret art, which he developed on his own, this secret art, as long as it is successfully learned, can greatly enhance the softness and stretch of the human body, allowing the human body to freely stretch and bend.

In the anime, the reason why Orochimaru's neck and arms and legs can stretch more than ten meters as well as his body crawling on the ground as fast as a snake is due to this secret art.

Kirito also remembers that in the original episode, the person named Tsurugi Misumi who appeared in the first Chunin Exam learned this secret art, but performed mediocrely.

Overall, this secret art was still a good boost to the learner's strength, allowing a physical-type ninja to use it to develop an alternative physical art (in reference to the protagonist of a certain pirate anime), and it also allowed one to burrow into some small cracks, thus allowing escape and infiltration.

However, Kirito is still not impressed with this secret art.

The reason is that this secret technique requires cutting your body. If you are not careful, you will fail and become disabled.

Obviously, this secret art was a bait.

If he wanted to learn this secret art, he would only be able to go to Orochimaru, the only one who had succeeded with enough certainty to complete the transformation of the human body.

But in that case, he was in Orochimaru's grasp.

Kirito knew exactly what Orochimaru was.

This person may not be a jerk now, but it is hard to say in the future. In the plot, since Orochimaru had the idea of ​​wanting to be immortal, he began to degenerate rapidly and eventually became a complete scum, a cold-blooded animal, and regarded other people's lives as worthless. Even if he was whitewashed later, this stain could not be washed away.

If he, a special talent with the talent of immortalization, fell into the hands of Orochimaru, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"But just for Soft physique modification alone, it is still unrealistic for a person to want to extend his hands and neck by more than ten meters, now that I think about it this secret art may be related to the secret art of the Akimichi clan, which is recorded in the secret art of cultivation will obviously require the use of yang attribute chakra."

Kirito recalled some of the plot images of Orochimaru's use of the Soft physique modification Secret Art, and proceeded to think deeply about the Soft physique modification Secret Art.

It didn't take long for him to renew his interest in the secret art.

If his guess was correct, this secret art of Orochimaru was improved and formed after referring to the Multi-Size Jutsu of the Akimichi clan.

As for how Orochimaru got the Akimichi clan's secret art, it was in all likelihood from that good teacher of his.

The Sarutobi clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho clans are pretty much in the same pants.

And since the Sarutobi clan was the superior of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, it was not surprising that he was able to obtain the secret arts of the Akimichi clan.

It is certainly not advisable to cut your own body, but if you can reversely obtain part of the inheritance of the Akimichi clan's secret technique, then this apology is quite good.

The Akimichi clan's Multi-Size Jutsu required the use of yang attribute chakra to release, and its power was not bad, the enhancement of the strength aspect was very astonishing.

Kirito lacked the means to attack with Yang-attribute chakra.

Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could use it to reward his men in the future.

After Kirito finished reading the contents of the scroll, then closed his eyes and quickly recalled dozens of times to make sure that he had completely memorized the contents of the scroll, he then decisively used the the inner four-symbol seal (shrunken version) on the scroll.

With a distortion in space, the scroll Orochimaru had given Kirito disappeared.

At the same time, in Konoha's underground, Root Headquarters, in the office of the head of the Root Department, Orochimaru, who was having a "nice conversation" with Danzo, suddenly froze, with an unexpected expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Orochimaru."

Noticing the change in Orochimaru's expression, Danzo immediately asked in a wary manner.

While he was confident in the guarding capabilities of the Root Headquarters, he never thought that would be enough to rest easy, and he now felt that Orochimaru must have found an enemy he didn't know about

Among Hiruzen's three disciples, he admired Orochimaru the most. Not only was he talented and powerful, but he was also ruthless and merciless to his enemies. He was also an excellent researcher and was very suitable to stay in the Root.

"Nothing much, just found an interesting little fish."

Orochimaru spat out his tongue and licked his lips, smiling excitedly.

"Really, can you tell me the name of this interesting little fish?"

Danzo said as he narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Orochimaru was a person he still knew relatively well, and once he found something interesting, he would definitely try to get it.

For that reason, Orochimaru would probably do something bad.

He hated accidents the most, and he didn't want Orochimaru to cause trouble in the village right now.

"Don't worry, I won't touch this little fish for a while, it won't affect your plans."

Orochimaru sneered.

The genius brat he favored, no one was going to touch it but him.
