Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 22: Obito's Revenge! Secret Medical Ninjutsu! 

In the Land of Water, deep within a certain forest, the Anbu of Kirigakure were ruthlessly hunting down several individuals.

"Damn you, Yagura! The Hōzuki clan will never forgive you!"

"How dare he attack our Hōzuki clan members! Yagura has gone mad!!"

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

"Even if we're going to die, we deserve an explanation! Yagura, come out here!"

Several heavily injured members of the Hōzuki clan roared in anger. But their cries were only met with more ferocious attacks from the Kirigakure Anbu and their inevitable, gruesome deaths.

Standing atop a distant tree, Obito gazed coldly at the bodies strewn on the ground.

"If it weren't for your Hōzuki clan plotting with the Third Mizukage to kidnap Rin, she wouldn't have died!"

"So, I won't just kill you. I will annihilate your entire Hōzuki clan and bring about the downfall of all Kirigakure!"

Soon, the Kirigakure Anbu left with the bodies. Obito stood there, lost in thought, gradually calming down.

Zetsu's figure emerged behind him and spoke softly:

"Orochimaru has refused Nagato's invitation."

Obito was surprised.

"That's unlikely. Given Orochimaru's nature, how could he not be tempted by the Rinnegan?"

This did not align with their intelligence.

Black Zetsu continued:

"Not only that, Kakashi's attack on Orochimaru's base also failed. Only he and Uchiha Itachi survived."

"There were strong individuals in the base, perhaps Orochimaru's disciples."

Ishihara's condition gave him an uneasy feeling.

It seemed like Sage Mode, but different, which made him anxious.

Obito didn't care much.

Knowing the full scope of the Eye of the Moon Plan, he understood that the current so-called strong individuals in the shinobi world were nothing compared to what he would become once the plan succeeded.

Zetsu glanced at him and continued:

"Moreover, Orochimaru is heading to the Land of Water with his men!"

Obito's brow furrowed upon hearing this.

His plan in Kirigakure was not yet complete.

Especially since the key figures and families involved in Rin's kidnapping were still unaddressed.

Orochimaru's arrival could disrupt his plans.

But he would not allow anyone to interfere with his plan!

Obito said coldly, "Keep a close watch on Orochimaru. Report any developments to me immediately!"

"Understood!"

...

Elsewhere.

After leaving the base, Ishihara and Orochimaru immediately moved to another of Orochimaru's bases, still within the Land of Rice Fields.

Orochimaru placed the survivors in the base.

It seemed he already had plans to establish Otogakure.

Then, Orochimaru, Ishihara, Jūgo, and a few other capable subordinates set off.

They crossed the sea from the Land of Fire's border to reach the Land of Water.

After a while, they finally set foot on the shore of the Land of Water.

Once ashore, Orochimaru sneered:

"Recently, the Mizukage of Kirigakure has gone mad, enforcing the so-called Bloody Mist policy and conducting a large-scale purge of bloodline limit shinobi."

"Now, Kirigakure is split into two factions: those who support the Bloody Mist policy and those who resist it."

"Although the factions are restraining themselves within Kirigakure, they are slaughtering each other in the Land of Water every day."

"At this rate, Kirigakure might soon collapse!"

One of the followers couldn't help but say, "What is the Mizukage thinking, trying to destroy his own village? Could he be under a genjutsu?"

Ishihara glanced at him, surprised that he guessed correctly.

Orochimaru let out a sinister laugh.

"What happens to Kirigakure doesn't concern us. In fact, the more chaotic it is, the better for us."

"Let's go. I already found a location for the base. Let's head there first."

Under Orochimaru's lead, they entered the Land of Water.

Along the way, they encountered several skirmishes.

Chaos, bloodshed, brutality!

This was the current state of Kirigakure and the Land of Water.

They carefully avoided all the battlefields and reached their destination.

A remote, dense forest with towering trees.

As usual, Orochimaru chose a sinister location for the base.

However, this base had never been used and was empty.

They spent some time setting up all the materials and experimental equipment, giving the base a proper appearance.

Looking at the well-organized lab, Ishihara said:

"I need some time to study medical ninjutsu."

After his previous research on the Sharingan, Ishihara realized what he lacked.

A powerful insight and medical ninjutsu.

Orochimaru nodded and then narrowed his eyes:

"Speaking of medical ninjutsu, I know someone who might be able to help you. I'll bring him over when the time is right."

"Alright."

Ishihara raised an eyebrow.

If he guessed correctly, that person should be Yakushi Kabuto.

He would make a good assistant.

"I'll rely on you for intelligence for now, Sensei!"

Although Orochimaru had some intelligence on Kirigakure, it was too general.

For their actions, they needed more accurate and timely intelligence!

Orochimaru had to personally set up an intelligence system.

"Understood."

Orochimaru knew that in this operation, he was more of an assistant to Ishihara.

He had already tried cultivating the Sage Body!

The results were far more astounding than he had imagined!

Because of this, Orochimaru did not feel humiliated by playing a supporting role; instead, he was eager.

He was even more anxious than Ishihara to advance their research.

Deep within the base, Ishihara was rapidly reading a scroll on medical ninjutsu.

Although Orochimaru's collection of medical ninjutsu wasn't as extensive as Tsunade's, as her former friend and someone who conducted many experiments in Konoha, he still had a substantial amount of medical ninjutsu knowledge.

Herbs, medicines, poisons, antidotes, wound treatment, surgery, human anatomy, bodily systems, organs...

Ishihara absorbed this medical knowledge like a sponge, rapidly increasing his foundation.
