In the face of Orochimaru's question, Naruto smiled calmly, as if the one sitting next to him was not Konoha's Kage-level traitor, but a good friend who could talk to him for a long time.
"The Kekkei Genkai I have is actually the Kekkei Genkai who controls Reiatsu."
Under Orochimaru's doubtful eyes, Naruto continued to explain: "All matter in the Pure Land is made up of Reishi, and even human souls are made up of Reishi. When a soul is enhanced by cultivation, his body will produce Reiatsu, which is the energy my Kekkei Genkai show."
"Hadō's #4, Byakurai." Naruto extended his finger and demonstrated.
The white light that burst out from the finger directly punched a hole in the tree
Naruto retracted his finger. "This is one of Reiatsu's methods, Kidō. Kidō is more omnipotent, no matter if it's combat or support."
He then showed a few different Kidō, which greatly broadened Orochimaru's horizons.
"Of course, other than Kidō, Reiatsu's other use is Shunpo and Taijutsu." He continued,
"Other than that, it's Zanpakutō."
"Zanpakutō?" Orochimaru was very interested in this new term. He pondered a little and said, "It's your Kyōka Suigetsu, right?"
"Not bad." Naruto nodded. "This is also the reason why I used Reiatsu as an experiment."
"Through Reiatsu's injection, it can allow ordinary souls to usher in the new evolution. Once they succeed, they will enter a new life form. They will have Zanpakutō who is like me! And once they fail..." The corners of Naruto's mouth curled up slightly. "They will become the irrational Hollow."
Naruto stood up and floated above the blood. His smile was warm and warm. "I know that you have been conducting human experiments in the past, and you are eager to find eternal life. From a certain point of view, we are the same kind of people. For the sake of purpose, we can do anything. For research, we can abandon everything."
"I want to cooperate with you. I will provide resources, and you will help me research soul experiments. I believe that Shinigami will be the path to immortality."
In the face of Naruto's invitation, Orochimaru revealed a perverted smile and let out a hoarse laugh.
"Naruto-kun, just show your true self in front of me, okay? You should know that I have cooperation with Konoha's higher-ups."
"Orochimaru really has a connection with Danzo." Inside the sealed space, Minato anxiously asked: "What is his purpose in hiding in Konoha?"
But thinking about it, he had nothing to do with Konoha now, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
On the side, Kyubi immediately said sarcastically: "Hahaha, you promised Naruto that you wouldn't care about Konoha anymore and be a good tool." He raised his head with a proud expression.
"I know." Minato sighed.
In the outside world.
"I don't care if you cooperate with Konoha's higher-ups or not, and I won't worry about you telling them the truth." Naruto smiled softly, looking straight into Orochimaru's eyes, and said with certainty:
"You and I are the same kind of people. As long as my research is valuable, you won't betray me."
"Hahahaha." Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips again. He smiled abnormally: "I didn't expect the real Uzumaki Naruto to be so confident. It seems that you have managed to deceive those rotten and stupid higher-ups of Konoha."
Orochimaru also stood up with a cold smile: "Tell me your thoughts."
Naruto handed the experimental notes he had prepared for a long time to Orochimaru and explained, "My thoughts are to enter the state of Hollow or Shinigami through a large number of Reiatsu's experiments. Through research, I can explore the boundaries between Hollow and Shinigami. At the same time, I can also find the balance point between the humans, Hollow, and Shinigami. In the end, I can create the same thing, that is, humans can also use Reiatsu's life."
"From the perspective of the soul, Shinigami or Hollowfication are equivalent to eternal life. They will not age, and they will not die naturally. This is the same as what you are pursuing."
Therefore, your research focus will be the new evolution direction for Hollow, Shinigami, and humanity.
"..."
"This requires a large number of experiments and a large area of labs." Naruto gave Orochimaru a meaningful look: "I believe this won't be a problem for you."
"Of course, I am Yin Ying now," Orochimaru replied.
"Shinigami can become stronger through Reiatsu's cultivation. Hollow can use devouring to gain more power and consciousness." Naruto continued.
"As for humans, they can possess the power of the two." Kyōka Suigetsu suddenly appeared in Naruto's hand.
Sword's body trembled slightly, and Reiatsu spread out.
"This is the power of Shinigami. Zanpakutō, do you want to experience Shikai?" Naruto smiled like a researcher sharing the results of his experiments.
"Of course, I also want to understand Zanpakutō's ability to a deeper degree," Orochimaru replied.
From Danzo, he learned that Naruto's Zanpakutō was Kekkei Genkai who was good at weaving illusions.
Orochimaru was very curious about this. He wondered what Kekkei Genkai was like in front of a kage-level expert.
"Break, Kyōka Suigetsu." Naruto revealed an inexplicable smile. The Kyōka Suigetsu in his hand shattered into pieces and disappeared into the air.
"There is no feeling of being hit by Genjutsu. Everything is very natural." Orochimaru threw Shuriken to the tree: "Touch, the sound is fine."
He began to mobilize Chakra in his body, and instantly broke Kyōka Suigetsu.
However, he was surprised to find that the tree that Shuriken had hit did not exist at all, and Shuriken had been thrown somewhere long ago.
"An incredible ability." Orochimaru's eyes were hot, and he could not help but mutter to himself, his desire for research reaching the extreme.
"If every Zanpakutō has the potential to look like a figure, then this Shinigami has a great research value."
He looked at Naruto. "Where is Hollow's power?"
However, he saw Naruto shake his head. "Hollow has not mastered yet. He needs more experiments."
A smile appeared on Orochimaru's white face: "It's very interesting research. You don't care how Naruto-kun wants to provide me with resources? Are you going to betray Konoha and follow me to the Otogakure? Our Otogakure can't bear the wrath of Konoha!"
In the next moment, Orochimaru's eyes widened, as if he had seen something beyond his imagination.
"Yo... Yondaime" He was stunned.
In his line of sight, Namikaze Minato's figure appeared beside Naruto.
"Hey, Orochimaru, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be so rebellious when we meet again." Minato had a complicated expression on his face.
"I didn't expect to see you again." Orochimaru put on an evil smile: "Is the current Yondaime Hokage on Konoha's side, or on our side?"
