Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Yakushi Kabuto's body broke through the door and flew out.

A branch pierced through his body and hung him in the air, making it impossible for him to land on the ground.

"......" There was silence for a while. The smile on Orochimaru's face disappeared. Instead, he looked more serious than ever before.

"Wood Release."

Yumi's Wood Release is not at the same level as Yamato's. A master of Orochimaru's level can easily sense it. The woman standing at the door of the house is now surging with chakra in her body that makes him tremble with fear.

"It's incredible. You actually succeeded, Aoba-kun." At this time, Orochimaru knew that the Hashirama cells that Aoba asked him for were used on this woman.

No, it's not just this woman. Orochimaru suddenly realized that Aoba had suddenly become so powerful, would it be possible?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes became heated. But then he realized another more direct problem. That is, he seemed to be in some danger tonight.

If it was a Wood Release like Yamato, it would be meaningless to Orochimaru. He could easily handle it.

Again, the strong one is not Wood Release, but the First Generation. Wood Release can only truly show its power if it is used like the First Generation, using a map cannon. Otherwise, it is just an ordinary ninjutsu.

Now, Orochimaru is facing this kind of threat. He has many ways to escape. But if the opponent is desperate and directly uses the Wood Release Tree World Descend, then all his means will be useless.

"Aoba-kun has been waiting for this day for a long time." Orochimaru naturally thought that this was a trap set for him.

Tonight, he was confident of winning because he had already mastered a lot of information about Aoba. He knew his attitude towards Karin and her daughter. Therefore, he sent out Kabuto Yakushi in advance to find Aoba's weakness.

It's not surprising that Orochimaru did this. This guy has no bottom line in his actions. To achieve his goals, he can be said to be the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals.

"Believe it or not, Lord Orochimaru, these are not meant to be used against you." Aoba signaled Yumi to throw Kabuto Yakushi over, and then he stepped on him directly.

Wood Release Penetration does more than just cause damage. This ninjutsu also absorbs the opponent's chakra. Originally, as a top medical ninja, Kabuto Yakushi should have been able to save himself. But after his chakra was sucked away, he has now completely lost consciousness.

However, Qingye did not kill him directly.

Mainly, he knew that Kabuto Yakushi was a very important assistant to Orochimaru. Aoba also needed Orochimaru, the first scientist in the ninja world, to continue to perfect the ninjutsu of Impure World Reincarnation, Eight-Headed Technique, Corpse Reincarnation, and even the Demonic Fuujin.

Qingye's energy is limited. All his research is focused on making himself stronger.

Therefore, these auxiliary researches still have to be completed by Orochimaru. In a word, the ninja world needs Orochimaru. As his assistant, Kabuto Yakushi can be regarded as having a sense of destiny.

After hearing this, Orochimaru's expression changed slightly several times, and then he put down his hands.

Aoba deduced that what he had just prepared should be another cheat in Naruto, the Impure World Reincarnation.

Facing Aoba and Yumi's super strong Wood Release, Orochimaru should only have this move to deal with it. However, Aoba didn't want to start a full-scale battle with Orochimaru here.

"Aoba-kun, since this was just a misunderstanding, can we continue our transaction now?"

Orochimaru really doesn't have the guts to fight back. Seeing that he couldn't win, he prepared to continue the deal.

Aoba was not angry. He looked back at Yumi and the others. After confirming that they were not injured, he directly agreed to Orochimaru's trade request.

"Then, my first request. I wonder if Aoba-kun can return Kabuto Yakushi to me."

Qingye glanced at Kabuto Yakushi who was standing at his feet. He was pierced through by the Wood Release and his chakra was absorbed. He was already dying.

At this moment, being stepped on by Aoba, he could kill him with just a little effort. After hearing Orochimaru's request, he neither agreed nor objected. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Yumi behind him.

Man is defeated by beauty. Nature must be determined by beauty.

Yumi understood what Aoba meant. She thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Aoba, you can make the decision." Aoba nodded, then turned back to look at Orochimaru.

"Okay, we've decided. We can make a deal. I wonder what Lord Orochimaru is prepared to give in exchange for the life of your right-hand man."

This deal was obviously not what Orochimaru had expected at the beginning. So, he thought about it for a while, and then threw out the other Kusanagi sword in his hand.

Aoba took the sword and kicked Kabuto Yakushi in front of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru casually gave Kabuto a pill. As a medical ninja, as long as he had chakra, he could heal himself. If he couldn't, he could only blame himself for his incompetence.

In fact, Aoba was somewhat surprised that Orochimaru actually wanted to take back Kabuto Yakushi. He thought that the other party would let Kabuto Yakushi fend for himself.

"I'm glad to see that Aoba-kun is still so trustworthy. Then, next, I need some information. Aoba-kun, how did you manage to successfully transplant Hashirama's cells?"

Aoba believed that Orochimaru had two plans today. The first plan was to subdue Aoba directly and get all his secrets.

The second plan was to capture Karin and her daughter and force Aoba to surrender.

But now, he obviously changed his plan. When he saw Yumi's powerful Wood Release, he directly changed the content of the deal and wanted to transplant Hashirama's cells.

"I do have some methods that can improve the success rate of the transplant. But the most important factor is what Lord Orochimaru does not have. Even so, Lord Orochimaru, do you still want to make a deal?"

"Of course." Orochimaru continued the deal without hesitation. Just because of Aoba's words, "I have something that can improve the success rate of the transplantation," Orochimaru couldn't give up this deal.

You have to know that when he participated in the Hashirama cell transplantation experiment, there was no so-called success rate at all. It was purely using human lives and trial and error bit by bit.

And until the end, they did not succeed in finding the key point. In other words, the root experiment, until now, has no so-called success rate. It is not a question of how much the success rate is, but that there is no success rate at all.

Yamato succeeded, but they have no idea why. All the research on Hashirama's cells is a black box, and no rules can be found.

Those who succeed don’t know why they succeed, and those who fail don’t know why they fail.

But now, Qingye actually said that he could improve the success rate.
