Chapter 544: Yao Shi Dou's Cooperation

Hearing Lian Ye's cold words, the person hidden in the Loulan ruins instinctively tensed his body.

He had never exposed his aura, so how did Lian Ye discover him?

After speaking, Lian Ye did not act, but coldly stared at a section of the ruins.

Seemingly sensing Lian Ye's gaze, the person hidden behind the ruins realized he had truly been exposed.

"I never expected to be discovered by you."

Soon, a figure clad in a dark red cloak slowly emerged from the ruins.

Beneath the cloak, the newcomer's pallid face was riddled with cracks, he wore round glasses, and his snake‑like pupils were strikingly conspicuous.

The newcomer was the Ninja World Dream Master, Yao Shi Dou!

The moment Lian Ye saw him, he recognized his identity.

In the original work, Yao Shi Dou fell into confusion after Orochimaru's death, then transplanted Orochimaru's cells and refined them to achieve Sage Mode.

He believed the stage of the Ninja World War could both showcase his worth and let him find meaning for his existence amid chaos.

He even hoped the Moon's Eye Plan's Genjutsu World would help him recognize himself!

Thus he scoured the Ninja World for corpses, preparing for the upcoming Ninja World War.

Influenced by Orochimaru, Yao Shi Dou wanted to obtain Sasuke—either to continue Orochimaru's unfinished reincarnation experiment or to exploit Sasuke's potential for his own research.

So he sought out Uchiha Obito for cooperation, reaching an agreement to trade Sasuke.

In the end, through Itachi Uchiha's use of the Izanami, he recognized himself and rediscovered his purpose and value.

One could say his scientific talent and Ninjutsu aptitude are not inferior to Orochimaru's.

He even mastered Sage Mode in the Dragon Earth Cave!

If Yao Shi Dou in his timeline hadn't matured, he would have been duped into the Laboratory to conduct research long ago.

Such rare talent must not be wasted.

"Yao Shi Dou, why are you following me?" Lian Ye said, looking at the Yao Shi Dou before him with some displeasure.

From the second day after they left Iron Country, Lian Ye noticed someone secretly tailing him.

Since the other party never showed hostility, he was too lazy to bother.

Perhaps it was Heijue or Bai Jue tracking him from the shadows.

Regarding traversing via dragon veins, he wanted to conceal it but knew he couldn't hide it completely!

Who makes Bai Jue such a hard thing to detect?

Yao Shi Dou hadn't expected Lian Ye to recognize him, felt a bit surprised, but quickly regained composure.

"Sir, I would like to cooperate with you."

His greedy gaze fell on the piece of flesh in Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's hand.

The person before him could summon Uchiha Obito with Impure Earth Reincarnation, indicating he must contain Obito's blood as well as that of other Ninja World strongmen!

During this period, Yao Shi Dou had been searching the Ninja World for deceased strong ones; summoning them one by one for verification was far too troublesome.

Since Lian Ye carries the blood of dead strongmen, he no longer needs to reincarnate them all.

He could simply obtain the strongmen's blood from Lian Ye!

"You want the blood of strongmen for Impure Earth Reincarnation, right?"

Lian Ye noticed Yao Shi Dou's fleeting glance and instantly understood his purpose.

"Exactly, sir," Yao Shi Dou did not deny, "I wish to cooperate with you."

He called it cooperation, but it was merely a transaction.

He originally only intended to follow Lian Ye to obtain blood, but inadvertently uncovered the secrets each possessed.

That could be used for a trade!

"Cooperation?" Lian Ye's face showed surprise, "Do we really need to cooperate?"

Facing Lian Ye's question, Yao Shi Dou smiled and explained, "You give me the blood of strongmen, and I will seal your dragon vein for you."

"No need, I can use Impure Earth Reincarnation..."

Lian Ye was about to refuse when he was interrupted.

"Please don't rush to refuse; I can give you the improved Impure Earth Reincarnation."

He knew Lian Ye's Impure Earth Reincarnation was the original version, and he could use it as a bargaining chip.

He was confident the Uchiha strongman before him wouldn't refuse!

Sure enough, as he had expected, Lian Ye was somewhat tempted.

Because Senju Hashirama hadn't died, Qianshou Feijian never dared to study Forbidden Techniques, so Impure Earth Reincarnation remained in its original form.

The key is he never fully mastered it; he was only half‑skilled.

If he could obtain a bit of blood from Yao Shi Dou and get the improved Impure Earth Reincarnation, it would be a very profitable deal.

After all, Impure Earth Reincarnation was first refined by Orochimaru, then further improved by Yao Shi Dou.

It is certainly stronger than the original version!

"Fine, I can cooperate with you!" Lian Ye said without hesitation, agreeing outright.

Yao Shi Dou, seeing this, silently breathed a sigh of relief; he had been worried Lian Ye wouldn't trade blood.

"Sir, this is the improved Impure Earth Reincarnation," he produced a scroll, asking with some anticipation, "As for what you promised…"

"Here." Lian Ye also tossed a scroll, generously saying, "It contains the blood of the First Hokage, Second Hokage, Uchiha Obito, Second Generation Raikage, Third Generation Raikage, Third Generation Water Shadow, and other strongmen."

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang: "..."

He realized that Lian Ye mastering Impure Earth Reincarnation was not a good thing.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have known Lian Ye had collected so much blood of strongmen!

Yao Shi Dou's eyes lit up as he carefully took the scroll.

I thought Lian Ye only carried Madara Uchiha's blood and flesh, but it turns out he also has the blood and flesh of so many other strong ones!

This deal really turned a huge profit!

If we let him search for them one by one, who knows how long it would take.

Now, just by agreeing to help seal the dragon vein and hand over the improved Impure Earth Reincarnation, we can get it!

Lian Ye likewise feels he made a big profit.

It's only that with some insignificant blood and flesh, he can get someone to help seal the dragon vein and get the improved Impure Earth Reincarnation for free.

The two are very satisfied, both thinking they got the better end of the bargain.

"Wait, give me all the research data you've collected over the years as well," Lian Ye said suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

In this timeline, both Orochimaru and the pharmacist have been studying the human body for such a long time, so they must have made great discoveries.

We can take it back for Qianshou Feijian and Orochimaru as reference!

To let them avoid some detours…

Pharmacist Dou was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and produced another Scroll to hand to Lian Ye.

Although he doesn't know what Lian Ye intends to do with the research data, such things are insignificant compared to the blood and flesh of the strong.

"All right, we're about to activate the dragon vein; remember to seal the dragon vein then, otherwise it's very dangerous."

Lian Ye got what he wanted, and his mood improved.

It seems that in this timeline he didn't come away empty‑handed after all.

Shisui's Kaleidoscope Sharingan, the improved Impure Earth Reincarnation, and a large amount of research data.

"No problem."

Pharmacist Dou watched as the two activated the dragon vein, enveloped by energy, and a spark of excitement flashed in his eyes.

So that's how the dragon vein can be used!

After the Ninja World War is over, he also intends to travel to other worlds via the dragon vein!

Uchiha Obito and Heijue, hidden in the shadows, reacted the instant they saw it.

So they aren't from this world!

Who would have thought the dragon vein had such a wonderful use…
