Chapter 73 Great Wisdom
Chapter 73 Great Wisdom
"What do you need me to do?" Ainz asked, slowly walking towards the operating table behind Orochimaru. He was surprised to see Kimimaro covered in various instruments on the operating table. How could he still be alive after all this time?
Could it be that Orochimaru felt sorry for him? But if he can't continue using his bloodline ability and can only be a "useless" person, that would be even more painful than killing Kimimaro.
"You must have seen the child's condition..." Orochimaru walked to the operating table, turned off the instruments, and his expression became unusually serious and focused when facing science.
"According to recent research, the higher the talent of your Shikotsumyaku clan, the stronger the bloodline disease they suffer from. I must say, Bone-kun, your ability is astonishing, and even after using your ability frequently, you still show no signs of developing a bloodline disease. Can you tell me how you did it?" The word "you" clearly indicates that Orochimaru attributed this to Gen Urobuchi.
Kimimaro was awake from the beginning of their conversation, but he didn't get up until he heard Orochimaru's order. Only after the equipment was turned off did he remove it and slowly sit up.
Kimimaro had overheard the previous conversation and immediately stared straight at Ainz Ooal Gown with his green eyes.
Kimimaro didn't care how Ainz Ooal Gown survived, even though he might have cared before meeting Orochimaru. Now, Kimimaro's only concern was whether his illness could be cured so he could bring value to Orochimaru.
Seeing Kimimaro's expression, the face beneath the mask of the Bone Lord remained calm, his green eyes, identical to Kimimaro's, flickering slightly. "I don't know."
"Hmm?" Orochimaru frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had anticipated many possible responses, but he hadn't expected Ainz Ooal Gown to choose to say he didn't know...
Seeing Orochimaru's suspicious look, Ainz Ooal Gown said coldly, "I wouldn't lie to you. From the beginning, I've never had a bloodline disease like his, or rather, a 'useless' disease?"
"'Useless disease'?" Orochimaru pondered. Although this contradicted his previous experiments, he didn't immediately dismiss it. Besides, the term "useless disease" was quite apt.
Upon hearing this, Kimimaro's face immediately contorted with rage. A bone spike shot from his palm, suddenly erupting as he attacked Ainz Ooal Gown. "Who are you calling 'trash'?!"
These past few days have finally allowed me to continue training, giving me the chance to become the perfect vessel for Lord Orochimaru. I can disregard everything else, but I absolutely cannot allow anyone to call me "useless"! Or perhaps I'm secretly terrified of becoming useless?
However, Bone King easily blocked the attack with the same bone spikes, chuckled mockingly, and looked directly into the attacker's eyes through the holes in his mask. "This kind of disease requires you to die to become stronger. What are you if not a piece of trash? And you'd better assess the difference in strength between yourselves before you fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, several bone spurs suddenly appeared on Bone King's arm, aimed at Kimimaro's throat. With just a slight movement, they could strangle him. After giving a small warning, Bone King slowly retracted the bone spurs.
Kimimaro remained expressionless, showing no fear whatsoever. However, once his reason returned, he forcibly suppressed his emotions, because what Ainz Ooal Gown said was true, and his body currently belonged to Lord Orochimaru, so he had no right to use it at will.
Thinking of Lord Orochimaru, Kimimaro felt a pang of regret for his impulsive actions.
Orochimaru, however, paid no attention to this situation, instead stroking his chin as if deep in thought. The Kaguya clan is generally known for its explosive tempers, and the behavior of Kimimaro and Ainz Ooal Gown is considered an anomaly within the clan. "So what do you mean?"
"You already have a solution for this situation, so why ask me?" Bone-kun said, pointing to a large patch of excessively pale skin on Kimimaro's arm. "But it seems to be just a temporary fix. You called me here because you want some cells to do experiments and see where the difference lies. I can cooperate with you. You don't need to ask me anything else. I don't know either."
"Hehe..." Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled upon hearing this. He was truly indifferent. He could have simply asked for some of Ainz Ooal Gown's cells, but due to Genjutsu's 'kind' way of doing things, he originally thought that having Kimimaro appear in front of Ainz Ooal Gown would yield some other information. It seems that this is not quite the case as rumored.
……
Compared to the other clones who all had things to do, Jing's side was rather boring at this moment because he needed to conserve his strength to prepare for support. However, it was also a good opportunity to relax. He took off his mask, and under the mask was an extremely ordinary face, the kind that you could forget immediately after seeing it. Even the beauty mark on his face was more recognizable than him.
However, precisely because her appearance wasn't as striking as others, Jing decided to call the pet store to check on the cat. Was it still staring blankly out the window? Thinking of this, Jing couldn't help but smile. This was a legitimate way to slack off; maybe she could even become an apprentice employee? As long as she kept it under control.
……
Due to the unique weather in the Land of Rain, after confirming the approximate location, Shiki Aburame temporarily put away the fragrant insects.
Looking at the overcast sky, Jiraiya's expression was solemn. He signaled everyone to stop. Fortunately, the location of Uzumaki Reikawa was not inland in the Land of Rain, but on the outer border. Otherwise, they might have had to wait for reinforcements or retreat temporarily.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya looked at Naruto, after all, giving Naruto training was not the same as sending the Nine-Tails to Akatsuki.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen, dressed in Akatsuki robes, stood on the stone wall looking down at the Konoha people below, and was somewhat moved, especially since they had actually sent two Konoha genin...
However, despite these thoughts, Uchiha Gen had a bitter smile on his face. If he hadn't chosen to stay and face the people of Konoha, and if the collection of the tailed beasts hadn't been completed yet, and Akatsuki didn't want to reveal too much of their strength for the time being, Naruto might have been in danger.
Although if he wanted to save people and went all out, these things wouldn't be considered dangerous, but if he did, he wouldn't have such a good opportunity to get close to Nagato again.
I don't know what Tsunade was thinking, letting Naruto come and cause trouble!
Seeing Uchiha Gen's expression, Scorpion looked at him with Hiruko's venomous eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Can't you bring yourself to do it?"
Uchiha Gen seemed quite nonchalant about this. "Isn't that obvious? See that old woman? She should be your grandmother. When I was in Sunagakure, I heard that she learned something called Reincarnation of Self in order to revive two people..."
Upon hearing this, Deidara seemed to suddenly understand something and interrupted, "So, if the fight starts later, we need to find a way to take care of her first?"
Uchiha Gen: "..." You're really smart.
At this moment, only Uchiha Gen, Deidara, and Sasori were present. Konan had returned to the base, and the whereabouts of the Human Path were unknown. However, Uchiha Gen speculated that he was probably observing from the shadows. After all, if he were to betray them, Akatsuki would suffer a great loss. If nothing unexpected happened, Pain would make his appearance.
