The two Hollows looked at each other and immediately pinched each other. They continuously bit each other and swallowed the flesh of the other like hungry wolves seeing food.
Naruto shook his head and said to himself.
Sure enough, Genin's transformation rate is too bad. The amount of Chakra in their bodies is too little. They can't stop Reiatsu's attack and will only become Hollow.
After devouring, Hollow can become stronger. Maybe he can reach a new level and obtain Shinigami's power from Hollow's form. But this process is too long. Moreover, I don't have the resources to provide this kind of experiment.
Naruto was also talking to Orochimaru.
Sure enough, when Orochimaru heard the words "Hollow", and "Reiatsu", his eyes lit up.
He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and walked out from the dark.
"Ka!" His legs stepped on the grass and made a sound.
Naruto looked over and saw the strange woman he had thought was suspicious before.
She was wearing a light purple kimono and had long black hair. Her face was extremely pale, and there was a strange smile on her lips. Her temperament was extremely cold.
"So one of Sannin's cold-faced Orochimaru has a change of personality?" This thought flashed through Naruto's mind, and then he showed a very warm smile:
"Oh, there are guests."
Orochimaru looked at the gentle Naruto and then looked at the two Hollows who were still fighting. He only felt that it was extremely inappropriate.
From the information he got from Danzo, Naruto was gentle and refined. He inherited the Will of Fire, eager to protect Konoha and important people.
But now, it seemed that it was not the truth.
Naruto was a very shrewd person.
Orochimaru showed a perverted smile, and his voice was full of magnetism,
"Nice to meet you, Naruto-kun. I am Orochimaru. I am very interested in your research."
Feeling the cold aura from Orochimaru and the stubbornness of his research, Naruto smiled even more brightly.
He gently sent Kyōka Suigetsu into the heads of the two Hollows and slowly pulled them out.
Hollow vanished into thin air.
Naruto said indifferently,
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Orochimaru."
"Huh?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with confusion, and the unbridled aura around him was also retracted.
He had thought about Naruto's reaction after seeing him.
Shock, fear, and astonishment.
After all, he was a Kage Rank expert who had been famous for a long time and stood against Konoha.
He only needed one second to kill a fledgling Genin like Naruto.
However, Naruto's reaction was too strange.
Indifference? Confidence?
Just like what he had said, he had been waiting for him for a long time?
Could it be that he had already noticed him?
Orochimaru's expression was somewhat moved.
He decided to test Hollow.
He revealed a smile and said, "I'm very curious. Did Naruto-kun notice me long ago?"
In the face of Orochimaru's question, Naruto put away Kyōka Suigetsu and casually crossed the blood pit. "Well, I guess so."
After getting a positive answer, Orochimaru was quite surprised in his heart.
Apart from Kyubi's identity as Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto's talent was also extremely astonishing, and he might even surpass Uchiha Sasuke.
No wonder that guy Danzo kept emphasizing that he should not touch Naruto.
Such a young body, if it could turn into its own shape, it would be very wonderful.
Unfortunately, he was Jinchuriki.
Orochimaru's gaze passed Naruto and fell on the disappearing Hollow and the corpse. He immediately revealed a smile that he thought was charming, but was actually cold and horrifying. He said politely, "Naruto-kun, is that the soul?"
Seeing the thirst in Orochimaru's eyes, Naruto nodded.
Orochimaru immediately said anxiously, "How did you make your soul become transparent? Why did your soul mutate? Is this your Kekkei Genkai? Is your Kekkei Genkai related to the Pure Land?"
The continuous questions made Naruto look at Orochimaru in a new light.
He did not expect that he had still underestimated Orochimaru's dedication to research. He instantly came to the edge of a rock.
He washed it with Suiton, then sat down and gracefully gestured to Orochimaru:
"I didn't expect that Orochimaru-san is also quite knowledgeable about souls. If you don't mind, you can communicate with him."
Seeing Naruto's action, Orochimaru did not think much about it. He directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu to come to Naruto's side and sat down. He did not put on any airs, as if he had forgotten his purpose of coming here.
At this moment, his eyes are hot, looking at Naruto's eyes is more like looking at a piece of treasure.
The two sat down side by side. The blood near the rock was still flowing, and the air was also filled with a strong smell of blood. Large beasts would appear in the forest from time to time, but before they got close, they were easily dealt with by Orochimaru's Kage Bunshin. There was no sound at all.
Naruto and Orochimaru talked enthusiastically like old friends.
"This is my Kekkei Genkai, the power from the Pure Land. I call him Reiatsu." Naruto stretched out his hand, and an indescribable energy condensed in his palm.
"Kekkei Genkai of the Pure Land?" Orochimaru looked suspicious. He immediately used Chakra to explore Reiatsu in Naruto's hand, and his expression gradually became solemn.
In his past decades of research on the soul, he found that humans were composed of cells, and the soul was also made up of a strange substance. This substance did not exist in the modern world but might originate from the so-called Pure Land.
This was because the soul's own attributes were contrary to the present world, so they would go to the Pure Land.
And the predecessors' research on the deceased also had many good results.
For example, Edo Tensei.
By extracting a certain amount of the body of the deceased, using the body of the living as a vessel for the soul of the deceased, and then summoning the soul of the deceased from the Pure Land of the Underworld to the present world, the deceased would retain the consciousness of the past.
In past experiments, the experimental subjects that were reincarnated by the Edo Tensei showed different expressions.
One of the souls had memories of their past lives and knew how they died. They had an obsession when they were alive, so after they were reincarnated by Edo Tensei, they clearly knew that Haku was already a dead person, and they were only resurrected by some special means.
The other souls also had memories of their past lives, but for them, their wishes had been fulfilled when they were alive, so the experience after being reincarnated by Edo Tensei was only: after they died, they appeared here as soon as they opened their eyes. This meant that their souls fell into deep sleep after their deaths.
But from Naruto's methods, these souls that should have gone to the Pure Land had a different degree of mutation because of the energy of the Pure Land, becoming mindless monsters.
Moreover, according to Naruto, these were all failures.
Then what would happen to the successful experimental subjects?
If they could retain their consciousness when they were alive, was this another form of eternal life?
To be able to ruthlessly experiment with Ninja's soul, it seemed that Naruto was not as gentle and easy-going as the rumors said, nor was he someone who inherited Will of Fire.
Looking at the smiling Naruto, Orochimaru suddenly felt a surge of excitement that he hadn't felt for a long time.
It was the excitement of feeling the same kind.
He looked at Naruto and said in a rather urgent tone,
"Why did your Kekkei Genkai cause a mutation in his soul? If the experiment succeeds, what will happen to his soul?"
