Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 21: Teaching Sage Techniques! Possession Secret Technique! Kakashi: Third Hokage, Don't Court Death! 

Seeing Orochimaru's excitement, Ishihara couldn't help but smile.

"If it weren't for the teacher, I might have starved to death in the wilderness back then."

"And over the years, the teacher has treated me extremely well. Even though I was only a few years old, I held the second-highest authority in the base."

"Whatever I wanted to learn, see, or obtain, the teacher would fulfill my wishes."

As he spoke, Ishihara couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Orochimaru had indeed treated him exceptionally well.

In fact, it could be said that no other place or person could offer him such privileges.

Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes widened.

He had a premonition of what Ishihara was going to say, but he found it hard to believe.

In the next moment, Ishihara solemnly took out a scroll and handed it to him.

"Teacher, this is the Sage Technique I created. Please take a look!"

Hiss!!!

Orochimaru's whole body trembled violently, his eyes glued to the scroll, unable to look away.

He found it unbelievable.

This was a secret technique that could grant immortality!

Even though he treated Ishihara well, he didn't think it was worth that much.

No one would willingly give away such a priceless treasure!

Yet, Ishihara did.

As a teacher, accepting a disciple's secret technique, even Orochimaru felt a bit embarrassed.

But, dignity?

Right now, Orochimaru had no such thoughts in his mind. He eagerly grabbed the scroll and immediately began to read it.

"Alright, let me take a look!"

"So that's how it is, this approach is indeed correct, the path of natural energy!"

"Hiss!! According to this theory, completing the Sage transformation of the body grants the potential to surpass the First Hokage..."

Orochimaru excitedly read the scroll, muttering to himself.

After a long while, Orochimaru finally finished reading everything. He took a deep breath and looked up at his disciple with a complex expression.

"Ishihara, you have already surpassed me!"

Being surpassed by his disciple.

When Ishihara introduced the body strengthening technique, Orochimaru had already prepared for this moment.

But he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

His feelings were indescribably complex.

Originally, being surpassed by one's disciple was something to be proud of.

In reality, he had only provided Ishihara with a learning environment without truly guiding him.

Rather than a teacher-student relationship, Orochimaru felt more like he was being surpassed by a competitor.

He felt a bit unwilling, yet also at peace.

At this moment, Orochimaru accepted the reality that he was indeed not as good as Ishihara.

"Teacher, isn't this what you've always hoped for?"

Ishihara maintained his smile!

He was very satisfied with Orochimaru's reaction.

The Sage Technique he provided was genuine, with no modifications!

He had promised not to disappoint Orochimaru and he kept his promise.

However, Ishihara truly intended to use Orochimaru as his test subject, to pave the way for himself.

After all, with only a lifespan of three thousand years, immortality was still a long way off.

Orochimaru laughed and shook his head, then took out a blank scroll and started writing.

Ishihara raised an eyebrow, already seeing the first few words and feeling a bit of anticipation.

"Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique!"

After finishing, Orochimaru handed the scroll over, his expression complicated:

"This is the forbidden technique I've been researching, the Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique!"

"I hope it will be useful for your research!"

With the Sage body, he could already obtain the strongest body, so he no longer needed to consider changing bodies.

The Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique was now useless to him.

This left Orochimaru feeling somewhat disappointed.

When Ishihara opened the scroll and saw its contents, his eyes lit up.

"As expected, this contains knowledge about the soul and spirit!"

[You have read the Living Corpse Reincarnation secret technique, along with the experiences of Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru, and created the Possession Secret Technique!]

[Possession Secret Technique: After use, it allows your soul to transfer to a new body, with minimal soul damage. The new body can be used until it naturally dies.]

"Useless!"

After a quick glance, Ishihara dismissed the secret technique.

To him, the most important aspect was the knowledge within the technique, much of which needed further research and development. He decided to put it aside for now.

Seeing this, Orochimaru immediately asked, "What happened here?"

Ishihara briefly explained, and Orochimaru sneered:

"How convenient, I was intercepted by members of the Akatsuki on my way back!"

"They must have leaked the information to Konoha."

He then described his encounter with Sasori of the Red Sand and Pain of the Akatsuki.

"Let's not worry about them for now; the most important thing is to proceed with the next step of the immortality research!"

Ishihara shook his head after pondering for a moment.

"Do you have any leads?!"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He had read the Sage Body Refinement Method and knew about the three-thousand-year lifespan.

But he desired eternal youth and immortality, so he wanted to go further!

"I think the next step should be researching bloodline limit, and I also need to conduct some experiments. If all goes well, it should benefit the Sage Body!"

"So we need to obtain people and bodies with bloodline limit!"

Ishihara didn't mention the information about the Ten-Tails.

After all, explaining the source of the information would be complicated, and using experiments as an explanation was more reasonable and advantageous for him.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru smiled sinisterly.

"Perfect timing, I recently received information that the Blood Mist Policy in the Hidden Mist Village has reached its most intense period of resistance."

"I heard that the Hozuki Clan and the Taketori Clan are planning to rebel!"

"And the Hidden Mist Village has many bodies with bloodline limit!"

Ishihara's eyes lit up at this, "Alright, let's head to the Hidden Mist Village!"

Most of Orochimaru's future subordinates were from the Hidden Mist Village, destined to be subjects of research.

The balance of power between the two had unknowingly shifted.

However, neither found it inappropriate; instead, it felt natural.

Everything had been set in motion the moment Ishihara introduced the Sage Body Refinement Method!

…

Konoha Village.

After Kakashi and Itachi returned to Konoha, they immediately reported to the Hokage Tower.

At that moment, the Hokage's office was deathly silent.

Just now, Kakashi and Itachi had recounted the entire mission, even having the Third Hokage's trusted Anbu verify Kakashi's memories for authenticity.

The Third Hokage's face was grim, puffing on his pipe, and he said through gritted teeth:

"I didn't expect there to be someone with such terrifying talent in this world, and he's Orochimaru's disciple!"

"What a twist of fate! He should belong to Konoha!!!"

"We must find a way to bring him back to Konoha!"

The Third Hokage was extremely reluctant.

Kakashi and Itachi exchanged bitter looks.

They had tried to persuade him several times, but the Third Hokage wouldn't listen.

Lord Hokage, please don't do anything foolish, that would be courting death!

Ishihara is someone the entire Konoha cannot afford to provoke!
