Chapter 126

Inside, everyone was wearing white coats, looking like they were conducting research.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye ignored these and headed straight to the room at the very end.

The person he was looking for was right here.

Without knocking to disturb the person inside, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye gently pushed open the door without making a sound.

"No need to be so careful; the previous round of experiments just ended."

The hoarse voice indicated the identity of the voice’s owner.

Orochimaru, wearing a white coat, turned around; he was not surprised by Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s arrival.

At this moment, Orochimaru’s white coat was stained with a large amount of blood.

On the experimental table in front of him lay a person, dead or alive, it was unknown.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye didn't care; as long as it wasn't someone from the village, Orochimaru could do whatever he wanted with this kind of human experimentation.

"How is the research going? Are there any results?"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye went straight to the point.

"That depends on what kind of results Itachi want."

Orochimaru revealed a cold smile.

"Is it serious research, or unserious research?"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye helplessly covered his forehead.

"Although I know Itachi don't like that research, please be serious."

"However, I came here for serious research this time."

Orochimaru nodded, then turned and went to the safe against the wall, taking out two bottles.

"There isn't much of a clue for the research on immortality; this is not something that can be researched in a short time."

"But, a therapeutic agent based on the research of Senju bloodline cells has already been developed."

"The effect is acceptable; as long as they don't die on the spot, they can be immediately stopped from bleeding and saved."

"But it cannot yet reach the level of regenerating severed limbs; this point still needs further research."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye looked at the two bottles and asked.

"What is the other one?"

Orochimaru immediately revealed a mischievous smile.

"A byproduct of the experiment; could it be called a type of poison?"

"I have to admit, the erosive power of your Senju bloodline is truly strong; if an ordinary person comes into contact with it, they will immediately fall into a stiff state, just like a piece of wood."

He handed the two bottles to Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye.

"It’s a very good choice for controlling enemies."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye nodded, but only took the bottle that could treat injuries.

"I won't take this; it’s of no use to me."

"If there is progress on the other research, send someone to notify me immediately."

"Tch..."

Orochimaru curled his lips; he was clearly not interested in the other research.

But as the big financier who was funding him, Orochimaru could only nod and say.

"Rest assured, when it’s researched, I will notify Itachi."

"In the end, that research also has some points of convergence with the direction I am mainly attacking."

"Maybe it can give me some inspiration."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye put away the bottle and turned to leave.

"I won't disturb Itachi anymore; I wish Itachi success in finding a way to immortality soon."

Orochimaru watched Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s departing back, his eyes flickering.

Orochimaru had long had a clue about the method for immortality.

But that was an alternative kind of immortality.

Not of the flesh, but the eternal life of the soul.

But it wasn't finished yet.

If it could be completed, Orochimaru could have sufficient time to conduct more research.

So he had been researching this matter recently.

Regarding the research Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had entrusted to him, he had only researched it casually and then set it aside without continuing.

But now that Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had come in person to urge him, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Otherwise, if the big financier cut off the funding, his research progress would be stuck.

"Forget it, I’ll research it."

"But why would he be interested in this kind of thing?"

"Even though he already has so many children."

……

"Thank Itachi for the warm hospitality of your village, but it’s time for us to set off and return."

Having stayed in Konoha for a few days, Pakura already intended to leave.

In the end, she still hadn't been able to make the decision to buy an office building.

This kind of thing was not something she could make the decision on.

"Are Itachi leaving already?"

Tsunade Senju said with some surprise.

"I specifically prepared a dinner for this evening; at least participate in the dinner before leaving."

Pakura shook her head and said.

"We have already delayed a lot of time and cannot waste any more."

"There are still many things in the village waiting for us to do; if I continue to enjoy myself here, my heart will feel uneasy."

Seeing that her mind was made up, Tsunade Senju didn't force her anymore.

"Then, I wish Itachi a safe journey, Lady Pakura."

........ 0 ...

"When Itachi leave, I will prepare some gifts for Itachi and everyone accompanying Itachi; please do not refuse."

Pakura opened her mouth to refuse, but Tsunade Senju’s expression was very firm, so she could only nod helplessly and say.

"Thank Itachi for the Hokage’s kindness; Pakura is deeply grateful."

Leaving the Hokage Building, Pakura and all the Sand ninjas were carrying bags of gifts, all of which were some specialties of Konoha, not particularly valuable things.

Pakura immediately felt relieved; she had been worried that the gifts Tsunade Senju sent would be too expensive.

That would have made her feel uneasy.

"Let’s go, it’s time to go home."

Pakura led a group of Hidden Sand ninjas to the gate of Konoha; she turned her head and looked at the bustling streets with emotion.

"Konoha is truly bustling; it makes people envious..."

"But, I will work hard to make the Hidden Sand Village bustling as well."

Her eyes were firm, and her will was equally firm.

However, she didn't see that in the team of Hidden Sand ninjas, one person’s gaze was flickering.

Pakura turned her head, no longer coveting the bustle of Konoha.

Because her home was not here.

"Is it her?"

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye watched Pakura’s departing figure, lost in thought.

"The Kazekage is truly a petty person."

"Go, be careful, don't get discovered."

Beside him, another Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye said with a full face of smiles.

"I am Itachi; are Itachi still worried?"

This Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye was naturally a wood clone.
