Chapter 915

"This is the most violent, fastest, and most effective evolution I've ever seen." After hearing Tsunade's description of how Lin Cheng's chakra loses control and erupts each time, Orochimaru's originally lazy and languid demeanor vanished, and her rising tone indirectly showed that she had already become completely interested in Lin Cheng.

"Then let me see how this little girl 'evolves.'"

For Kaguya, opening her eyes and seeing Orochimaru instead of Tsunade made her freeze for a moment, but then she let it go.

After all, every time Lin Cheng's body would be instantly healed when he regained control of the chakra within his body, and after several observations Tsunade would certainly also notice that each time Lin Cheng's body would change in constitution, so calling Orochimaru to take a look was perfectly understandable.

Moreover, the "Lin Cheng" she was currently playing, even with the identity of the Young Lady of the Hyuga family, was at best only a genin. She had long been looking for a suitable way to meet Orochimaru, who had close cooperation with Young Yuanzi, so Tsunade's arrangement this time was like someone bringing a pillow just as she was about to fall asleep — perfectly timed.

"If you are referring to that matter, we definitely need Orochimaru's help."

Because Kaguya had mentioned the reason for that step, this original White Zetsu said somewhat uneasily.

Because of Kaguya's order to seek out the Tailed Beasts, Black Zetsu had not stayed by her side during this period, only leaving White Zetsu behind for Mother to command. In carrying out some relatively simple tasks, the White Zetsu were completely capable.

But if it was the matter Kaguya spoke of, relying on White Zetsu alone would not be enough.

"I still need to know what is most important in Orochimaru's heart. Is it merely guarding this boring village? Or is it chasing after Young Yuanzi's footsteps? Or, like many others, vainly attempting to challenge the privilege of the gods?" Kaguya picked up the scroll Orochimaru had left with great interest.

The other party had said that as long as she felt her chakra about to lose control, she could immediately unfurl the scroll to summon him over — needless to say, it was a reverse summoning scroll.

"Go find Little Zetsu, I don't need you here anymore." Kaguya activated a bloodline limit hidden within her body that had not yet been assimilated, and her chakra immediately began to become unstable. She twisted the lock of the scroll open, and White Zetsu at this moment nodded and quickly sank into the ground.

"So that means 'evolution' has begun once again." Before the summoning white smoke had even dispersed, Orochimaru could not wait to speak. After clearly seeing that Lin Cheng's chakra had already gone berserk, she sat to one side with even greater interest, a pair of eyes transforming into snake pupils, borrowing the White Snake vision strengthened by Sage Transformation to observe.

"Suddenly saying you want to cooperate with me, and even able to directly activate the Kusanagi Sword hidden within my body. Such a thing is not something a girl from the Hyuga family who isn't even a genin could do. Should I just strike and kill you right now?" Orochimaru and Lin Cheng stared at each other, a trace of inquiry and wariness in her eyes.

Orochimaru was very confident in her research results on the soul aspect, so the moment the awakened Lin Cheng spoke, she sensed something was off.

"No need to hold such great hostility. In your words, this is called 'evolution,' and of course it must be accompanied by some realms ordinary people cannot understand, doesn't it? From the moment I decided to seek cooperation with you, whatever consequences might result were no longer within my consideration. So this is both the initial probe and the final result....... Although the current me still has a very long way to go before reaching the strength of the gods, at least after this 'evolution,' within this Shinobi World, there are very few people who can stop me from going where I wish."

They had spent some time together, but now Lin Cheng's gaze made Orochimaru feel unusually unfamiliar, and the words spoken made Orochimaru sense a trace of pressure.

An invisible ripple centered on Lin Cheng swept across the entire room.

And this invisible ripple immediately bound Orochimaru firmly in place. The feeling was exactly like a rookie genin being intimidated by the killing intent of a veteran ninja on the battlefield — clearly, such a thing should not be happening to her.

Orochimaru could not explain why the current Hyuga Lin Cheng would display such a performance. Combining her own long-standing research on bloodlines, a very bold idea surfaced: the one standing before her was undoubtedly still Lin Cheng herself, but because certain segments in her genes that should not have been dominant suddenly activated, it caused this overly intense "evolution" phenomenon — the sudden awakening of ancestral memory.

If placed on someone else, it would be like a sudden bloodline awakening, but the Hyuga clan's bloodline should not produce such a situation.

No, the matter was not that simple at all. It was as if something had been grasped by her, yet she could not make it clear — she wanted to know the truth!

Orochimaru fell into the peculiar dilemma of a research maniac, but Kaguya did not care about any of this. In her view, Orochimaru had fallen into deep thought, assuming the other party was weighing the pros and cons, and she had never had the habit of giving others the right to choose.
