Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 175 The most scientific person is closest to God

Orochimaru is definitely the most scientific person in the Naruto world, but ironically, this most scientific person is the closest to mythology, apart from the overpowered characters in the main group.

In this world, all the powerful bloodline abilities are ultimately connected to Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra. After planting the Divine Tree, chakra was born in this world.

Kaguya's two sons, Hamura and Hagoromo, inherited most of Kaguya's power.

Finally, the power was passed on to Ashura and Indra, who then further diversified and inherited it, giving rise to the numerous bloodline families in the ninja world today.

Strictly speaking, the power possessed by these bloodline families is inherited from the mythical figures they speak of. However, in their eyes, these are merely myths, fictional legends.

Orochimaru, who believed in science but not mythology, was actually the person closest to the truth and the closest to the myth.

In his mad experiments in pursuit of immortality, the secrets hidden in the ninja world are gradually revealed as his research progresses.

Orochimaru calmed down when he saw that Tetsuya didn't intend to attack him immediately.

After the initial fear subsided, an overwhelming frenzy ensued.

"Hehehe~! Spala! All of this is really too interesting."

Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips, which were somewhat dry from the intense emotional turmoil.

"Your existence is so interesting, Mr. Chiba. Do you know how I feel right now?"

"what?"

Tetsuya was also somewhat curious about what Orochimaru was thinking.

He replied.

"I feel like a small boat anchored on a foggy sea. At first, I was constantly gathering all available clues from my surroundings to find a way forward. I finally found a path that I thought was possible and was prepared to give everything to confirm whether this path was the right one."

This is a path full of thorns, yet incredibly interesting, and conquering such a path would give me a great sense of accomplishment.

But your appearance was like a lighthouse suddenly appearing on a vast, foggy sea. Your presence guided me through the fog and made me certain that I was on the right path.

However, it is also because of your appearance that the path I've taken has become less fulfilling and enjoyable.

"Hahaha, I see."

Tetsuya understood Orochimaru's meaning. It was like a third-grade student receiving a sixth-grade problem, figuring out the formula and approach to calculate it, when suddenly a teacher walked in and gave the answer and the solution directly.

Although the teacher's answers and reasoning validated the correctness of his results and ideas, it also diminished his sense of accomplishment and superiority over his peers.

"It's alright. If you need it, I can erase your memories of me and make sure you won't remember a single thing about me."

As Tetsuya spoke, his hands began to glow with a deep blue light, as if he could reach out and extract Orochimaru's memories at any moment.

"Hehehe, no need for that. I'm a pragmatic person. Now that it's proven that the direction I've chosen is correct, I just need to keep moving forward."

This actually saves me a lot of time, and I should thank you for that.

"You're welcome. I'm a very kind-hearted person, and my favorite thing to do is help others."

Tetsuya changed the subject.

"Now that you've finished asking your questions, it's my turn to ask."

Orochimaru knew he had no choice but to agree, so he nodded.

"Mr. Chiba, ask away, I will answer everything I know."

Zhe was also very satisfied with Orochimaru's attitude.

"Why did you come to the Land of Grass? Do you know that there is someone in the Land of Grass who would love to kill you right now and cut you into eight pieces?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, showing great interest in the person Tetsuya mentioned who wanted to kill him.

He doesn't seem to have much interaction with the people of the Grass Country. Even though he came to the Grass Country when he was on a mission, most of the people he had interacted with back then are gone. Who would want to kill him right away?

However, he did not immediately ask Tetsuya who he was. He knew very well that Tetsuya was the one asking him now.

"It's very simple. I need money and resources. Looking at the entire ninja world, outside of the five great nations, the Land of Grass is the number one country with a lot of money and resources."

"Furthermore, given your relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and with Konoha, even if someone wanted to hunt me down, they would have to think twice once they entered the Land of Grass."

Tetsuya nodded; it was a fairly reasonable answer.

Establishing the Sound Village requires money, continuing experiments requires money, and even raising the children we found requires a large sum of money.

After Orochimaru left Konoha, he picked up quite a few children.

"That's a reasonable answer. Now, for the second question: What was your original plan, and what did you intend to do after entering the Land of Grass?"

Upon hearing this question, Orochimaru smiled and licked his lips in response.

"My original plan was to first leverage our old acquaintance to establish a foothold in the Land of Grass. Since your Land of Grass doesn't have any ninja villages, I would build one here and quietly accumulate strength until..."

"Until we find the right opportunity to return to Konoha and destroy that decaying tree, right?"

"Hehehe, so you saw it too, Mr. Chiba. You saw that Konoha is already rotten to the core."

"Hehehehe, there are some things that I, as a businessman, am more perceptive than you ninjas."

"I see. As expected of Chiba-sensei, someone who can become a daimyo of a country is no ordinary person."

Orochimaru smiled and then asked.

"Mr. Chiba, I have a question I'd like to ask you again."

"Ask away."

"Who was that person you mentioned before, the one who wanted to kill me right away?"

When Orochimaru asked about this, Tetsuya laughed, a very happy laugh.

"Here's a hint for you. You can guess who it is. You know that person, and you have a close relationship with him. You've met him in person and seen things related to him."

"Oh, I not only know this person, but we have a special relationship. I've even met him and have things related to him?"

Orochimaru began to think. People who meet these conditions are no ordinary people. First of all, their relationship with him is special.

You should know that his parents had passed away a long time ago, and he didn't have many relatives.

"Could it be that...!"
