「It's actually Lord Orochimaru.」
「What is Lord Orochimaru doing here?」
In the ward, Orochimaru, who was one of the Sannin along with Tsunade, had just made his appearance, and it already shocked the medical ninja beside him.
Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, 「When it comes to Mystical Palm Technique, although I'm not as good as Tsunade, I still have some skills. I think I can be of some help.」
Anko stared at Orochimaru curiously. Is this Orochimaru, one of the Sannin? For some reason, when she first saw Orochimaru, a strange feeling welled up inside her.
「Orochimaru, what are you doing here?」
On the hospital bed, Satoru Hyūga's voice carried a hint of coldness. He still had a certain amount of resistance towards the cold-hearted Orochimaru.
Most importantly, his current state was not good. If the other party wanted to play some tricks...
「I naturally came for Satoru Hyūga. I think I can definitely help Satoru Hyūga. If possible, I'd like to spend some time alone with Satoru Hyūga. Is that okay?」
Orochimaru's voice was very sincere, and the gazes of Shibi Aburame and the others focused on Satoru Hyūga.
Satoru Hyūga pondered for a moment. After all, Orochimaru at this time wasn't as crazy as he would be later. At most, he was just obsessed with pursuing immortality. Shibi Aburame was also outside, so there probably wouldn't be any problems.
Most importantly, Orochimaru really had something he needed...
「Okay.」
With a soft thud, the ward door was gently closed. Only Orochimaru and Satoru Hyūga were left in the empty ward.
「Orochimaru, since it's just the two of us, there's no need to hide much. What do you want?」
Satoru Hyūga said directly, getting straight to the point. He hated beating around the bush, especially when dealing with a cold snake.
「As expected of Satoru Hyūga. You really noticed my purpose.」
「One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and a Jonin of the Kaguya Clan. Even I would have to retreat if I encountered such a lineup. But Satoru Hyūga actually survived. Tsk tsk.」
「Maybe it's not just about surviving?」
Satoru Hyūga looked at him coldly.
「Could it be!」
A flash of excitement shone in Orochimaru's eyes. He took a deep breath, and his expression changed from the previous playful one to a solemn one.
Satoru Hyūga thought to himself. It seemed that Anko only informed them of the enemies he had encountered, yet they still had no idea about the details of the battle. Come to think of it, when Anko arrived, the enemy's corpses had already been submerged by the metal jungle.
In that case, he would be able to hide his true strength.
However, when dealing with Orochimaru, he still needed to throw out some heavy punches. After all, if he didn't show enough capital, making a transaction with a snake like this would be very dangerous.
Orochimaru snapped out of his shock. He walked up to Satoru Hyūga's side, sized him up, and clicked his tongue.
The more he observed, the wider the smile in his eyes grew, and he couldn't help but let out an admiring sigh.
"Sure enough, you are the first ninja with double Kekkei Genkai in the history of the Hyūga clan, and the number one genius of the new generation. This strange physical form, with unparalleled vitality, and there seems to be a strange power mending the injuries..."
"You have sharp eyes."
Satoru Hyūga said coldly. His body had already far exceeded that of an ordinary person after being tempered by three levels of Electromagnetic Force upgrades. And the self - regulation of the Life Magnetic Field was constantly repairing his injuries.
"However, if that's all, there will inevitably be some sequelae. After all, it seems that you, Mr. Satoru, have used some forbidden ninjutsu that comes at a great cost, and there has been some damage at the cellular level."
Orochimaru clicked his tongue a few times. In just a few minutes, he reached a conclusion more accurate than what those medical ninjas could figure out in several hours.
Satoru Hyūga fell silent. Tyrant Mode originally wouldn't damage cells. However, the final big move metal jungle had drained too much of his chakra, resulting in damaged cells.
"I'm really glad I came. This is the cultivation secret manual of Cell Activation, a secret technique I developed over three years. It can not only repair the cell damage of Mr. Satoru, but also make Mr. Satoru's special constitution even stronger."
"What do you want?" After a moment of silence, Satoru Hyūga spoke.
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Cells, your fresh cell samples, as well as hair and blood samples. The only double Kekkei Genkai in the history of the Hyūga clan, and this extremely special constitution. I can't wait to explore them."
"Sure."
"Haha, Mr. Satoru is really a straightforward person."
After saying that, Orochimaru took out a Scroll. When he spread it out, there were items like test tubes, Scalpel, and forceps in the middle.
"I'll be really careful. I won't cause Mr. Satoru any pain."
Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but curl his lips. This Orochimaru still knew how to disgust him at this time.
Collecting the samples wasn't complicated. Orochimaru's movements were very subtle. At least, there wasn't much change in appearance.
Satoru Hyūga stared cautiously, making sure he wasn't up to any tricks.
After finishing, he handed that Scroll to Satoru Hyūga.
"The cultivation method of Cell Activation isn't complicated. With Mr. Satoru's memory, I'm sure you'll remember it quickly. Then you can try to cultivate on the hospital bed. I believe Mr. Satoru will like it."
Just as Orochimaru was about to leave, Satoru Hyūga suddenly called out to him.
"Wait, Orochimaru."
"What's wrong?"
"I hope there will be more areas where we can cooperate in the future."
Satoru Hyūga looked at him calmly.
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Hehe, Mr. Satoru really is an ambitious person, isn't he?"
Why would Satoru Hyūga want to cooperate with a snake like him? Or rather, what was restricting him, making him have to cooperate with himself?
Hyūga branch family. As soon as these four words popped into his mind, Orochimaru instantly understood.
The caged bird. He was the most renowned research ninja in Konoha. For something like the caged bird, perhaps only by finding him would there be a glimmer of hope of cracking it.
For some reason, Orochimaru suddenly started looking forward to their cooperation. Just how terrifying an existence would Satoru Hyūga be when completely unshackled?
Thinking of this, he smiled and pushed open the door of the ward.
"Satoru, how are you?"
"Are you okay?"
Those waiting anxiously outside immediately rushed into the ward.
"I'm fine." Satoru Hyūga nodded at them with a smile.
"Since Satoru doesn't need me anymore, I'll head back."
Orochimaru, who had obtained what he wanted, couldn't wait to return to the laboratory.
"We're really grateful to Lord Orochimaru this time."
"I didn't expect Lord Orochimaru to know Mystical Palm Technique. Satoru Hyūga looks much better now."
The medical ninja around subconsciously started flattering Orochimaru.
Orochimaru nodded and walked out of the ward.
Next to the hospital bed, Anko subconsciously clenched her fists. Her eyes showed a struggle, as if she was making a difficult decision.
Soon, she took a deep breath, ran out into the corridor, bowed deeply to Orochimaru's back before he could go too far, buried her head in her chest, and shouted loudly.
"Lord Orochimaru, please take me as your disciple!"
