Chapter 4

"Good! It can actually increase lifespan?!"

Shi Yuan was overjoyed.

The Devouring Body-Forging Art was incomparable to the Blood-Sucking Demonic Art in both scope and improvement effect.

For the next period of time, as long as he ate in large quantities, his physique would inevitably advance by leaps and bounds.

More importantly, he saw the possibility of physical eternal life!

A sharp light flashed in Shi Yuan’s eyes.

He put down the scroll and let out a long breath.

Although he was very tired, this harvest was enough to be worthy of his efforts.

"Have Itachi encountered any problems recently?"

Orochimaru appeared at the door of the archives at some point, asking in a hoarse voice.

Shi Yuan’s brows twitched.

He had been too immersed in learning recently and had forgotten to maintain his relationship with Orochimaru.

"I haven't encountered any problems; I just developed a new secret technique, please help me take a look, Teacher!"

Shi Yuan knew it was time to show his value.

He decided to take out the [Body-Forging Art] that had already been discarded!

Orochimaru’s pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Shi Yuan, laughing coldly.

"As expected of the genius I value; Itachi’ve already been able to develop secret techniques on your own!"

Shi Yuan calmly took out a blank scroll and wrote the Body-Forging Art on it.

Orochimaru came to the side and watched quietly.

But gradually, his pupils began to dilate, his heartbeat accelerated, and he completely lost his composure.

"How is this possible?!"

"Just by relying on a few special movements for exercise, Itachi can actually strengthen your physique?!"

Orochimaru felt it was incredible.

After Shi Yuan finished writing, he couldn't wait to pick up the scroll and examine it carefully.

"The theory is completely flawless!!!"

He turned his head and stared at Shi Yuan with glowing eyes, as if looking at a peerless treasure.

He believed that Shi Yuan would definitely not dare to fool him.

After all, this matter was too easy to verify.

Which meant the Body-Forging Art was real!

Shi Yuan felt his skin crawl under the gaze and couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy.

"Holy crap, I didn't show too much, did I? The Body-Forging Art shouldn't be that powerful."

Unexpectedly, the next second.

Orochimaru burst into laughter.

"Shi Yuan, Itachi really are even more outstanding than I imagined!"

Just this one secret technique made Orochimaru feel that all the privileges he had given Shi Yuan were worth it.

Damn!

Itachi scared me!

Shi Yuan cursed internally, but he also let out a sigh of relief.

It looks like I passed the test!

"I will have people verify the Body-Forging Art; if it is true, then I will give Itachi more materials and permissions!"

Orochimaru couldn't wait and left with the Body-Forging Art.

"More permissions?"

A sharp light flashed in Shi Yuan’s eyes.

Although it seemed he could read quite a lot of materials, this definitely did not include Orochimaru’s forbidden technique research.

And these were precisely the most important things to him.

"I hope Orochimaru’s research won't let me down!"

Shi Yuan muttered to himself with some anticipation.

A few days later.

Orochimaru looked at the experimental results of his subordinates and laughed coldly.

"The basic physical fitness actually improved within a few days!"

"Shi Yuan really has developed an incredible secret technique!"

Looking at the results, even Orochimaru couldn't help but be shocked.

His subordinates’ quality was very ordinary; being able to become a Chunin was considered quite good.

But with the help of the Body-Forging Art, these people had actually become stronger.

This was simply incredible!

"To a certain extent, this can be considered a weakened Kekkei Genkai!"

Hiss!!!

The thought in his mind made Orochimaru gasp.

As long as any ninja village obtained this secret technique, their strength would be greatly enhanced!

"It seems I still underestimated Shi Yuan’s comprehension!"

Orochimaru’s heart could not be calm for a long time.

Thinking that he had always been called a genius seen once in a few decades.

But compared to Shi Yuan, he was far too mediocre!

Orochimaru’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

Recently, he had been researching the Cursed Seal and had encountered significant problems.

"Perhaps, I could let Shi Yuan try?"

Orochimaru felt that as a teacher, he should be responsible for giving his student some problems.

It was definitely not because he couldn't figure it out himself!

Shi Yuan soon received the materials and permissions Orochimaru had promised.

Now, he could see some of Orochimaru’s experimental data and could even enter some of the laboratories.

And he could view the intelligence Orochimaru had obtained.

The first thing he did was to check the intelligence.

"Has the Hyuga clan incident finally broken out?"

Shi Yuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the intelligence content.

The intelligence showed that a few days ago, the Hidden Cloud Village sent people to negotiate with the Hidden Leaf.

But the leader of the group took advantage of the night to steal the Hyuga clan’s eldest daughter, Hinata Hyuga, and was killed on the spot after being discovered by Hiashi Hyuga.

The Hidden Cloud Village not only refused to admit their mistake but instead threatened the Hidden Leaf to hand over the culprit, otherwise, they would start a war.

The Third Hokage actually gave in just like that, agreeing to hand over Hiashi Hyuga!

The final result was that Hiashi Hyuga’s twin brother, Hizashi Hyuga, committed suicide to apologize for Hiashi Hyuga!

"To be able to sit firmly in the position of Third Hokage with such weak actions, Hiruzen Sarutobi’s methods are a bit powerful."

Shi Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder, but soon put the matter to the back of his mind.

He couldn't interfere with the situation in the ninja world right now; the most important thing was to improve his own strength.

Shi Yuan was just about to go get new materials when he suddenly paused.

There was an extra bookshelf in the archives that hadn't been there before.

[Cursed Seal]!

Shi Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly walked up to pick up a scroll to examine.

Instantly, his pupils shrank!

"It really is the research data on the Cursed Seal!"

He couldn't care about why these materials were here and raced against time to examine the internal data.

Because in his plan, senjutsu, or rather natural energy, was his key research object!

Whether it was the Toad Sage or the Snake Sage, they were living examples of eternal life!

In the ninja world, if Itachi want eternal life, besides crooked paths like the God Tree, the only path Itachi can take is senjutsu!

So contacting natural energy was a plan Shi Yuan had set from the beginning!

Now that the opportunity had come, how could he let it go?

He opened the scroll.

Shi Yuan began to read the content on it thirstily.

Although Orochimaru’s research on the Cursed Seal and natural energy was still in the experimental stage, it had actually achieved results.

The Cursed Seal on Anko was the best proof!

[Itachi have read the materials on the Cursed Seal and natural energy, Itachi have created the technique Heavenly Demon Tattoo!]

[Heavenly Demon Tattoo: After activation, it can help Itachi automatically absorb natural energy, and it can also be imprinted on others as a control core]
