Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

Orochimaru looked serious and asked, "Sasuke-kun, what do you want me to do?"

Sasuke said bluntly: "My request is very simple, I just want you to help me research something."

"For example?"

"Sharingan." Sasuke pointed to his own eyes.

"I want to know how the Mangekyō Sharingan can evolve further."

It is obvious that Sasuke now cannot take Uchiha Itachi's eyes to complete his evolution.

Therefore, the only way to evolve the Mangekyō into the Eternal Mangekyō is to rely on Orochimaru's power.

This guy definitely has the ability, as long as he is willing to put in the effort.

"So these eyes are called kaleidoscopes. And there is a possibility that they can evolve? It's amazing."

Orochimaru sighed in amazement.

"Such a powerful eye has not yet reached its peak. The potential it contains is so terrifying. It is incredible that your Uchiha clan has not unified the ninja world."

"Oh, I see. Is it because the outside world has seen your potential that your people have suffered a catastrophic disaster?"

Orochimaru pretended to be enlightened, and no one knew what kind of story he had woven in his mind.

"Okay, stop making wild guesses." Sasuke's face darkened.

How could that idiot Danzo have such foresight? To say that he is short-sighted is a compliment to him.

"oh."

"So, Sasuke-kun, what will your Mangekyō evolve into next?"

Orochimaru asked, he knew nothing about this aspect at the moment, even as knowledgeable as he was, it would be difficult to get started without specific information.

"Eternal Kaleidoscope."

"Eternal Kaleidoscope? How is it different from the normal ones?"

"Excessive use of ordinary kaleidoscopes can lead to a sharp decline in vision and even blindness."

"Evolving into the Eternal Kaleidoscope would eliminate this defect, and there would no longer be any risk of blindness."

"Hehehe... No wonder Itachi was rarely seen using those eyes before."

It turns out there is such a hidden danger. "

Orochimaru let out a low laugh.

Sasuke glanced at him and said, "Why are you smiling so sinisterly?"

"Nothing, just some emotion."

Orochimaru chuckled. It was a little too late to know this information now. Since he had already cooperated with Sasuke, he naturally would not attack Uchiha Itachi again.

Besides...

He couldn't beat the other person either.

Sasuke looked away and continued the topic:

"As a rule of thumb, to open the Eternal Eye, you need to fuse a pair of kaleidoscopes from blood relatives."

"But you know the current situation. I will not transplant Itachi's eyes, so..."

"So you found me, right." Orochimaru took over the conversation.

Sasuke glanced at him sideways and nodded silently.

"So what do you mean?"

Orochimaru did not answer immediately, but said thoughtfully: "Do you need to directly fuse the eyes of your blood relatives?"

"It sounds like you're trying to make up for something. Perhaps your kaleidoscopic blindness is rooted in a flaw."

"Once this gap is filled, there will be no more vision impairment, and the evolved eye can be used permanently."

"This is what is called the eternal kaleidoscope."

Sasuke was secretly surprised by Orochimaru's words. This theory really made sense.

He is indeed a scientific research fanatic, and he has figured out so many tricks so quickly.

"If it is true as you say, how long will it take you to get results?"

Sasuke asked with a hint of impatience.

Orochimaru was still immersed in his thoughts, and without looking up at Sasuke, he answered subconsciously:

"It will take some time to research this and my guess needs to be verified."

"In short, there's no rush for this."

"I see."

Sasuke's mood gradually calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the Eternal Mangekyō was not something that could be obtained easily.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

"Orochimaru, I can now tell you how to prolong your life."

Sasuke was about to leave, but on second thought, he decided to tell Orochimaru.

This may help motivate him better.

"oh?!"

"Sasuke-kun, please speak."

Orochimaru pulled himself out of his thoughts and gave him an expectant look.

"Collect the tailed beasts and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"After transforming into the Six Paths, your physical fitness is almost equal to that of the Otsutsuki clan. Living for thousands of years will not be a problem."

There was a gleam of strangeness in Orochimaru's eyes. Collecting the tailed beasts?

It's a bit challenging, but nothing to rush.

"Hehehe...thanks for the information, Sasuke-kun."

"In exchange, I will put aside most of my current research and prioritize solving your kaleidoscope problem."

Sasuke nodded slightly.

"Okay then. I'll go now."

"I'll take the scroll with me. It's of no use to you anyway."

Sasuke picked up the Scroll of Earth that Orochimaru had discarded earlier.

Just as Sasuke was about to leave, Orochimaru called him.

"Sasuke-kun, there is something I need to tell you."

"Um?"

"I have many Sharingan, but they are all ordinary magatama level."

"It's really limited in terms of research. If I had a kaleidoscope as material, I think the progress would be much faster."

Orochimaru looked directly into Sasuke's eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"No problem. I'll give it to you after the Chuunin Exams."

"Anything else you want?"

Sasuke's answer was so clear and straightforward that even Orochimaru was a little surprised.

Could it be that he has another kaleidoscope in his hand?

But this is not what we need to consider at the moment. Orochimaru smiled and said, "It's okay, Sasuke-kun. I wish you good luck in your exams."

"Um."

After saying that, Sasuke turned and left.

In fact, he didn't have an extra Mangekyō, and what he planned to lend to Orochimaru was his own eyes.

As far as he could remember, after the Chunin Exams, there would be a period of relative peace for about two and a half years.

The ninja world will be more peaceful.

There is no problem in lending my eyes to Orochimaru. Besides, with Yutsuki in Konoha now, it is quite safe to stay here.

Even if the sky falls, he will hold it up.

Looking at Sasuke's receding back, a smile slowly appeared on Orochimaru's lips.

I'm in a good mood today.

The harvest was so abundant!

He couldn't help but snort.

Sasuke-kun, you really are my lucky star.

"Boss, we found him!"

Just as Orochimaru was about to leave, an excited shout suddenly sounded from below.

Orochimaru, whose interest was interrupted, looked down with a gloomy face.

The visitors were the three little guys from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"I actually caught up with you."

Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hehehe..."

"Boys, have you ever experienced the fear of the abyss?"

Below, Yotsuki Ryūryō saw Orochimaru's eyes dropping and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

On pins and needles!

He vaguely felt that...

The situation doesn't seem good!
