Chapter 91: Moonlight, Oh Moonlight
Shishou looked at the appearance of Orochimaru and raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't expected his assumption to be correct.
When Orochimaru injects a curse mark into his target, he also injects a fragment of his soul and body cells into the target, ensuring a means for his resurrection.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke successfully resurrected Orochimaru using the cells on Kabuto and the curse mark on Anko.
Based on this,
Shishou made his own conjecture.
He believed that the cells on Kabuto's body were to provide a body for Orochimaru.
The curse mark on Anko was to provide Orochimaru's soul and chakra.
With this, Shishou, after finding Orochimaru's cells in Anko's curse mark, used Phosphorus Bad Bugs to reverse the vitality and successfully cultivated a body for Orochimaru.
After performing the evil removal technique, Orochimaru indeed emerged.
It was initially just a casual attempt by Shishou.
He hadn't expected it to actually work.
"Muhahahaha, Anko, it's been a long time," Orochimaru said with a laugh, looking at Anko on the bed.
"O-Orochimaru-sama..."
Anko was dumbfounded, completely stunned.
The sudden change left her unsure of how to react.
"Orochimaru, we meet again."
Shishou narrowed his eyes at the sight of Orochimaru.
The Orochimaru in front of him looked very weak, not even at Chunin level.
If he could control this Orochimaru, he might be able to acquire all of Orochimaru's ninjutsu.
Curse marks, Edo Tensei, Living Corpse Reincarnation, and so on.
Moreover, he could control Orochimaru to work as his research personnel.
This way, he wouldn't need to cooperate with Orochimaru's main body anymore.
"Muhahahaha, I didn't expect..."
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he looked at Shishou.
Suddenly, Orochimaru's expression changed, and he looked at his own body, saying, "The main body..."
The next second, Orochimaru in front of Shishou instantly turned into a pool of blood and flesh.
"What..."
Anko was directly stunned.
Shishou frowned at the unexpected change.
Removing the contact lenses from his eyes, Shishou activated his Sharingan to inspect and found that Orochimaru was truly dead.
The main body?
Does that mean the Orochimaru in front of him was indeed a clone of Orochimaru?
Was this a protective mechanism set by Orochimaru?
A mechanism to prevent his clone from being used by others as long as the main body is alive?
How well thought out!
As Shishou pondered this while putting his contact lenses back on,
"Ah!!!"
A scream suddenly came from Anko on the bed.
Shishou turned his head and his eyes widened.
Anko's body was starting to swell and mutate, red scales rapidly growing on her pale skin, her legs merging into a snake tail, transforming her into a half-human, half-snake monster.
Is this curse mark transformation?
No!
It's the senjutsu energy injected into Anko by Orochimaru running wild without Orochimaru's suppression and control!
Crash!
Bang~
Anko's snake tail wildly lashed around, smashing all the lamps in the room and plunging it into darkness, while the moonlight shone in through the window.
The mutated Anko appeared even more bizarre under the moonlight.
Shishou dodged several strikes from the snake tail and approached Anko.
Pressing down on Anko's wildly swinging snake tail, he began to release the Phosphorus Bad Bugs to devour the senjutsu energy inside Anko.
As the Phosphorus Bad Bugs continuously devoured the energy, Anko's mutation began to stop.
A few minutes later, Anko returned to her original form, lying on the bed unconscious.
"Phew~"
Seeing Anko recover, Shishou breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, numerous black spots appeared on Anko's skin, forming tiny flying insects that gathered in mid-air, finally converging on Shishou's right hand, forming a purple-black ball the size of a fist.
These were Phosphorus Bad Bugs that had absorbed senjutsu energy, containing rich senjutsu energy.
Shishou didn't put these Phosphorus Bad Bugs back into the insect breeding space but instead put them into his own body and ordered them to hibernate.
They would be crucial for his future practice of curse mark transformation or senjutsu.
In critical moments, they could also provide him with senjutsu energy as a trump card.
Huh, the sun is already high.
No, it's the moonlight.
Moonlight, oh moonlight, you are so unforgivable!
Shishou glanced at Anko, whose clothes were tattered from the mutation, and pulled the blanket over her.
"Yuck, that's really disgusting."
Coming to the pool of flesh left by Orochimaru, Shishou squatted down and poked it.
After taking a sample, Shishou took out some more Phosphorus Bad Bugs from the insect breeding space and had them devour the pool of flesh completely, leaving nothing behind.
After finishing all this,
Shishou checked Anko's body again, confirming that she was not in any life-threatening condition, then stood up.
"Today you got lucky."
Shishou took one last look at Anko, left a note, and turned to leave.
He had originally intended to continue teasing Anko to make her submit.
He hadn't expected that his casual experiment would actually bring Orochimaru out and lead to such a series of changes.
Although he couldn't control Orochimaru's clone to serve him,
he gained senjutsu energy from Anko, achieving his initial goal of seducing her.
Since the goal was accomplished, there was no need to continue teasing Anko.
So he left a note, allowing Anko to leave on her own.
He threatened Anko on the note, warning her that if she dared to reveal his secrets to the Third Hokage or others, he would attack Konoha.
He believed that the loyal Anko would consider it carefully.
However, this was just a test for Anko.
If she really intended to leave, Shishou was ready to stage a 'murder to silence' act.
Of course, the villain would have to be our dear Danzo.
Danzo couldn't carry the title of 'Pot Shadow' for nothing; it had to be made worthy.
"Hah~"
Arriving outside Uchiha Mikoto's room, Shishou stretched and yawned.
Opening the door, Shishou walked in.
Not long after entering the room.
Whoa!
Shishou quickly opened the door again and ran out, escaping hastily.
"You pervert!"
"Don't let me see you again!"
Pakura's figure chased him out, her face red, cursing as she watched Shishou run away.
"Why are you in Mikoto's room instead of sleeping in your own!"
"How is that my fault?"
Shishou hid in a large tree in the courtyard, gritting his teeth as he looked at Pakura.
Because of Pakura, it had been a long time since he had gotten close to Mikoto.
"I do what I want, what can you do about it!"
Pakura formed a fireball and threw it at Shishou.
She had been taken advantage of by him just now and couldn't vent her anger without a fight.
