Kuroto calmly looked at Orochimaru, patiently waiting for his answer.
"My terms are very simple, I want Uchiha Itachi. I had wanted Uchiha Tsukihi before, but now that she has died, I want Uchiha Itachi. Bring Uchiha Itachi to me, and I'll give you all the techniques you want from me." , of course, the Chimera and Ninjutsu Darkness Medical techniques become part of that condition." – It seemed Orochimaru was speaking in an ordinary tone, but the slight change in his expression was not hidden when he called Uchiha Itachi.
'Huh, I should have known that he hasn't suffered enough to forget his Sharingan.' – thought Kuroto.
If before, Orochimaru chased after Uchiha Tsukihi because of his instincts telling him that it would be very valuable, but now after Uchiha Tsukihi was dead, and considering the fact that Orochimaru knew Mangekyou Sharingan Itachi, he was the only one who knew him, then it was clear that now he was after Uchiha Itachi.
In addition, Itachi's indifference, coldness, and cruelty must have severely hurt Orochimaru's self-esteem, so it would not be strange if Orochimaru was now chasing Itachi's body.
Sighing at the impossible dream from his Sensei, Kuroto said with a bitter smile, "You overestimated me Sensei... If... even you can't defeat Uchiha Itachi, then who am I before him?"
Orochimaru sneered, "Kuroto-Kun, I may not know your abilities, but I perfectly understand that as long as you really want to, you can find a way."
Kuroto grinned, "Maybe you're right, but I don't have such an early death wish, and I also have advice for you Orochimaru-sama, but you might not like to hear it."
Orochimaru said, "Try me, let's listen."
"I suggest you give up on Uchiha Itachi." – stops up here, Kuroto continues, "You stare at him like a wounded mouse staring at a cat, the result is quite obvious."
Kuroto did not insinuate Orochimaru, but it was serious advice for Orochimaru of Kuroto.
If Orochimaru really wanted to take over Uchiha Itachi's body, he would first have to conquer Itachi in battle.
Even if Orochimaru somehow managed to do so, the final step to devouring Itachi's soul was still unavoidable. So, a soul fight would obviously break out between the two sides, which would definitely be lost to Orochimaru.
Wh why? Since Orochimaru lost the same battle against Uchiha Sasuke in the original series, compared to Sasuke who only had three Sharingan tomoe at the time, Itachi with the Mangekyou Sharingan would be a difficult opponent, not to mention Itachi would not leave any lingering danger in his body.
So Orochimaru's defeat was decided before he even tried anything.
But who would explain such a thing to Orochimaru, Kuroto obviously would not do it, and Orochimaru naturally did not take Kuroto's advice well? As soon as he heard Kuroto's words, his expression shrank, "Kuroto-kun, it seems like you even started to underestimate me."
Kuroto shook her head in denial, "No, sensei, I have never underestimated you, not once in my life. But I think you should not waste your time on something impossible, and if you are so adamant about getting the Sharingan, why not change.your goal to someone else? By the way, there are so many Uchiha clans in the Uchiha Clan. Why do you always target the hardest?"
"Huh, it seems like you have forgotten a lot of your old experiences so it seems like there is a need to remind you of them!" – After snorting, Orochimaru continued, "Forget it, if you want that technique, my terms are the same. Bring Uchiha Itachi to me, and you can have it."
Kuroto was speechless now, he was counting things.
Kuroto knew that Orochimaru would not understand his kindness unless he suffered greatly.
Seeing Kuroto's silence, Orochimaru smirked, and said, "Of course, you can also try to steal this scroll from me, if you want."
After a long silence, Kuroto sighed, "You are my Sensei, and you have protected me from many things. Even if I really wanted to obtain the Chimera technique, I still had my bottom line, so I wouldn't do it. " – Leaving this sentence, Kuroto did not wait for Orochimaru's reply, he immediately turned around and disappeared.
A few seconds after Kuroto left, Yakushi Kabuto walked out of the shadows, and said, "Orochimaru-sama, it looks like we can fool him."
"Coughing.." – Orochimaru coughed loudly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Orochimaru said with a sullen look, "Unfortunately that's not the case. Hyuga Kuroto easily saw through my bluff, don't look down on her, she is currently a younger version of myself. From the way she acted in front of me, I can be sure that she was looking through us."
Kabuto froze in surprise, "Then why didn't he act?"
Orochimaru groaned slightly and said, "Maybe he has another way to obtain this technique, or maybe..."
"Maybe?" - Kabuto asked puzzledly.
"No, by the way, how is the investigation about the whereabouts of Yomi?" – asked Orochimaru to change the subject.
Kabuto replied, "She's gone, Miko Shrine is also destroyed, so the most likely conclusion is that she's dead."
"Who is it?" – Orochimaru muttered while thinking, then asked, "What about Miko's daughter? If I remember correctly, he's in Konoha, right?"
Kabuto nodded, "Yes, he is in Konoha, actually, you would be surprised to hear that he is under the protection of Hyuga Kuroto."
"Oh? That's shocking." – murmured Orochimaru.
"In fact, I also heard that during the chaos a few days ago, Hyuga Kuroto was not in Konoha because she was personally assigned a mission by the Sandaime Hokage, who was the first person in the world, and another Kunoichi was temporarily placed on team-11. If I have to guess it, then it is most likely the Demon Country where Hyuga Kuroto went in that period, so most likely Yomi was killed by Hyuga Kuroto." – Kabuto added.
"Yes, it will be done." – Kabuto nodded, and walked out of the laboratory, but suddenly stopped and asked, "By the way Orochimaru-sama, he said, Shimura Danzo sent an envoy and wanted to know when you were going to start his plan?"
Orochimaru sighed, "Although I really want to fight Sandaime Hokage, this is still not the right time to get rid of him."
Although Kinjutsu's 'Living Corpse Reincarnation' made it impossible to die, not all the bodies he took allowed him to retain a hundred percent of his strength.
And his current body did not allow him to use a hundred percent of his strength, so fighting Sarutobi Hiruzen would only seek death, which was not something Orochimaru would do, this was not his style.
…
The Kuroto side.
After leaving Orochimaru's laboratory, Kuroto began to devise his plan to obtain the Chimera Technique.
Since Orochimaru was unwilling to give him the technique, then the next target was explained Shinno. Kuroto had already thought of a plan, it was time to implement it.
With everything decided, Kuroto increased her speed and went towards Konoha.
…
Amegakure, Hiruko's laboratory.
"Hhhhh...!!!"
"Hhhhh...!!!"
"Hhhhh...!!!"
There were some painful cries from one of the enclosed rooms in the laboratory. Even those listening from a distance could understand that the source of this scream was excruciating pain.
In the corridor, next to the sealed room, Shinno stood still, he leaned against the wall and analyzed the seal installed on the gate in front of him.
Staring at his watch, Shinno muttered, "It's been seven hours, and this is now a daily occurrence. It seemed like the danger hidden within Hiruko's body was greater than she had expected."
Just now, Shinno had realized the hidden danger, the others in Akatsuki were unaware of it.
"Hmm, it seems like the Chimera Technique is still not fully developed, and there are also flaws in Hiruko's approach to plundering other people's Kekkei Genkai."
As a researcher and observer, Shinno has been able to see many of the details that Hiruko herself ignores, thus Shinno can conclude that there are many flaws with Hiruko's approach.
Tap... tap.... tap…
Just when Shinno was able to consider other things, he suddenly heard footsteps.
Shinno immediately raised his alertness and asked warily, "Who is that?"
At this moment, the person came out from the shadows, and Shinno was finally able to see the person.
Looking at the person who entered, Shinno's expression shrank.
"There's no need to be so tense, it's just a little bit about me." - said the person.
Shinno's face instantly turned cold, and he asked as he gritted his teeth, "What do you want Uchiha Shinichi?"
Right, the one who entered was none other than Uchiha Shinichi.
And looking at Uchiha Shinichi, Shinno was obviously angry, after all just because of Uchiha Shinichi's subordinate then his plan to swallow Miko's daughter failed.
"Ahhhh...!!!" – When two people were staring at each other coldly, a heart-wrenching voice came, a distorted hand appeared on the glass window, and the lights in the corridor flickered.
