Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 4: Orochimaru's Shock! Curse Seal Research! Traces of Immortality Techniques!

"Great! It can actually extend lifespan?!"

Ishihara was overjoyed.

The Devouring Body Refinement Technique surpassed the Bloodthirsty Demon Technique in both applicability and enhancement effects.

As long as he consumed a lot, his physical condition would surely advance rapidly.

More importantly, he saw the potential for physical immortality!

A gleam flashed in Ishihara's eyes.

He set aside the scroll with a long sigh of relief.

Although he was exhausted, the rewards were well worth his effort.

"Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Orochimaru's hoarse voice came from the door of the document room, startling Ishihara.

He hadn't been maintaining his relationship with Orochimaru while being immersed in study.

"I haven't encountered any difficulties, but I've developed a new technique. Could you take a look at it, Sensei?"

Ishihara decided it was time to demonstrate his value.

He brought out the discarded [Body Refinement Technique]!

Orochimaru's pupils constricted as he fixed his cold gaze on Ishihara, breaking into a sinister smile.

"Indeed, you are the genius I valued, able to independently develop techniques!"

Ishihara calmly took out a blank scroll and wrote the Body Refinement Technique on it.

Orochimaru approached and quietly observed.

Gradually, his pupils began to widen, his heartbeat accelerated, and he lost his composure.

"How is this possible?!"

"Just through a few special movements, it can enhance physical condition?!"

Orochimaru found it hard to believe.

After Ishihara finished, he eagerly took the scroll and examined it closely.

"The theory is completely flawless!!!"

He turned to Ishihara with eyes glowing, as if looking at a priceless treasure.

He believed that Ishihara wouldn't deceive him.

After all, this was easy to verify.

This meant the Body Refinement Technique was real!

Ishihara felt uneasy under Orochimaru's intense gaze, and he was a bit apprehensive.

"Damn, did I overdo it? The Body Refinement Technique shouldn't be that impressive."

But the next second,

Orochimaru burst into laughter.

"Ishihara, you truly exceed my expectations!"

Just this one technique made Orochimaru feel that all the privileges he had given Ishihara were worth it.

Damn!

Ishihara cursed inwardly but sighed in relief.

It seemed he had passed the test!

"I will have people verify the Body Refinement Technique. If it proves to be genuine, I will grant you more information and access!"

Orochimaru eagerly took the Body Refinement Technique and left.

"More access?"

A gleam flashed in Ishihara's eyes.

Although he had access to many materials, it certainly did not include Orochimaru's forbidden technique research.

It was precisely these that were most important to him.

"Hopefully, Orochimaru's research won't disappoint me!"

Ishihara murmured to himself with anticipation.

---

A few days later.

Orochimaru looked at the experimental results from his subordinates and let out a cold laugh.

"The basic physical qualities improved within just a few days!"

"Ishihara really developed an incredible secret technique!"

Even Orochimaru couldn't help but be amazed at the results.

His subordinates were of very average quality; becoming chunin was already an achievement for them.

But with the help of the Body Refinement Technique, these people had all become stronger.

It was simply unbelievable!

"In a sense, this could be considered a diluted bloodline limit!"

Hiss!!!

The thought made Orochimaru gasp.

If any ninja village obtained this secret technique, their strength would be greatly enhanced!

"It seems I've underestimated Ishihara's comprehension abilities!"

Orochimaru couldn't calm down.

He had always been regarded as a once-in-decades genius.

But compared to Ishihara, he felt rather mediocre!

Orochimaru's eyes flickered.

Recently, he had been facing significant challenges in his research on the Curse Seal.

"Perhaps I should let Ishihara give it a try?"

Orochimaru felt that, as a teacher, he had the responsibility to challenge his student.

It wasn't that he couldn't figure it out himself!

---

Ishihara quickly received the promised information and access from Orochimaru.

Now, he could see some of Orochimaru's experimental data and even enter some of the laboratories.

He could also access the intelligence Orochimaru had gathered.

His first action was to check the intelligence.

"The Hyuga clan incident has finally erupted?"

Ishihara raised an eyebrow as he read the intelligence report.

The report stated that a few days ago, the Hidden Cloud Village had sent people to negotiate with Konoha.

But the leader of the delegation tried to kidnap the Hyuga clan's heiress, Hinata Hyuga, during the night, only to be killed by Hiashi Hyuga.

The Hidden Cloud Village not only refused to admit their wrongdoing but also threatened Konoha to hand over the "murderer," or they would start a war.

The Third Hokage had actually agreed to hand over Hiashi Hyuga!

In the end, Hiashi's twin brother, Hizashi Hyuga, committed suicide to take responsibility in his brother's place!

"Such a weak response, yet Sarutobi Hiruzen can still hold onto his position as the Third Hokage. His skills are quite remarkable."

Ishihara clicked his tongue in wonder but quickly put the matter aside.

He couldn't interfere with the ninja world's affairs at the moment; his primary focus was improving his own strength.

As Ishihara was about to pick up new materials, he suddenly froze.

There was a new bookshelf in the document room that hadn't been there before.

[Curse Seal]!

Ishihara's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly walked over to pick up a scroll.

His pupils instantly contracted!

"It's indeed research data on the Curse Seal!"

Without thinking about why the data was there, he started reading it eagerly.

In his plans, senjutsu, or rather natural energy, was a primary research focus!

Whether it was the Toad Sage or the Snake Sage, they were living examples of having long lifespan!

In the ninja world, apart from the dubious methods involving the Divine Tree, only the path of senjutsu could lead to immortality!

So, accessing natural energy was Ishihara's initial plan!

Now the opportunity was here, and he wouldn't let it slip by.

He opened the scroll.

Ishihara began to devour the content with great hunger.

Although Orochimaru's current research on the Curse Seal and natural energy was still in the experimental stage, it had already yielded some results.

The Curse Seal on Anko Mitarashi was the best proof!

[You have read the data on the Curse Seal and natural energy, and you have created a technique: Heavenly Demon Tattoo!]

[Heavenly Demon Tattoo: Once activated, it can help you automatically absorb natural energy. It can also be imprinted on others as a control core.]
