Chapter 559

Ding-ling, the crystal chip hit the metal operating table with a crisp sound. This chip was not large, pitch-black all over, with golden granular protrusions covering its surface.

Su Xiao picked up the chip. Although the chip was small in volume, it was not light in weight.

【Ramiel Apostle Core】

Quality: Pale Gold

Type: Accessory (1/2)

Effect: Can be used to modify any detection-type equipment to improve its quality. The quality improvement is independent of the quality of the equipment being modified.

Rating: 296 (Note: Pale Gold items have a rating of 260 to 310; the higher the rating, the more precious the item.)

Introduction: Knowing the strength of an enemy can make a battle twice as effective with half the effort.

Price: Cannot be sold, cannot be traded, drops upon death.

Warning: Carrying this accessory while traversing the Void will result in being hunted by Mechanical Apostles.

Su Xiao examined the chip in his hand. From the introduction, he could see this chip was only half of the accessory. As for the other half, there were no clues at all.

If he could find the other accessory to synthesize it, the level of the synthesized item would certainly be astonishing.

Su Xiao had self-knowledge in this regard. First, this rule-breaker didn't know where he had obtained this chip; the other party was dead, so wanting to obtain the other accessory was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Secondly, carrying this chip while traversing the Void might result in being hunted. The intensity of the hunt was unknown; in short, it wasn't a good thing, so it was better to use it as soon as possible.

At this time, Orochimaru and Kabuto were nearby, so using this chip immediately was not a wise move.

"Mr. Bai Ye, is this your enemy?"

Orochimaru's low, hoarse voice came.

"Similar nature."

Su Xiao retracted the Boundary Line. Kabuto regained his freedom and subconsciously retreated, intending to stay away from Su Xiao, this dangerous person.

"Then, our first trade is complete. Next, let's talk about that medicine; I am very interested in that thing."

Both sides had barely managed to complete the first trade pleasantly, but unfortunately, both sides still didn't trust each other.

"Fine, exchange it with similar knowledge."

Su Xiao's arm hung naturally, intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan.

Bang.

The iron door of the laboratory slammed shut. Orochimaru licked his lips.

"Similar technology? Apologies, I don't have that kind of technology."

Just as Orochimaru finished speaking, several large, three-meter-tall test tubes in the room cracked open, and several naked men with expressionless faces walked out of the tubes.

"Mr. Bai Ye, how about we redefine the content of the trade?"

"Redefine?"

Su Xiao put away the chip in his hand. This poisonous snake Orochimaru was finally about to bare its fangs.

"How about using the medicine and Sharingan in Mr. Bai Ye's hand to exchange for your life?"

Orochimaru laughed sinisterly twice; Kabuto was already nowhere to be seen.

Just as he finished speaking, the laboratory door opened, and a man and a woman walked into the room. The man had white hair and particularly conspicuous shark-like sharp teeth, while the woman had long red hair and a ****** figure.

It was Orochimaru's subordinates, Suigetsu and Karin.

"Sigh, what a laborious life. Looks like there's going to be a fight again, and the opponent is an Akatsuki member."

Suigetsu looked listless, as if he had just woken up. Karin stood at the door, motionless, looking at Su Xiao with a strange gaze; her pupils were trembling.

Karin stared fixedly at Su Xiao and whispered to Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru, this guy..."

"Hmm?"

Orochimaru's expression was somewhat displeased.

"This guy doesn't know how many people he's killed; his aura has turned red. This kind of aura is simply that of an executioner."

Su Xiao was just standing there, but the aura he inadvertently released made Karin's hair stand on end.

"Very normal. Ordinary people aren't qualified to join the Akatsuki."

"But..."

Orochimaru signaled for Karin to step back; as long as she monitored the energy flow in Su Xiao's body, it would be enough.

"How about it? Have you considered it, Mr. Bai Ye?"

Orochimaru felt he had the upper hand. He had exposed the location of the laboratory precisely for this opportunity—an opportunity to trap Su Xiao.

"Orochimaru, Akatsuki organization members generally act in pairs. Aren't you curious where my partner went?"

"Heh."

Orochimaru sneered.

"Your partner has already died at the hands of the brat and the old hag. As for Deidara, he is currently finding Kakuzu to sew his severed limbs."

Orochimaru's intelligence system was indeed not to be underestimated.

"Then, don't you find this three-man squad strange?"

"Three-man squad."

Orochimaru fell into deep thought, suddenly thinking of something.

"Could it be that you..."

"That's right. To be precise, I am not Sasori and Deidara's partner at all; I am the third person of all squads."

"Bai Ye, this is leaking information within the organization."

A man's voice came from the corridor behind Karin. Karin's pupils shrank to the extreme; she hadn't sensed anyone coming at all.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

Orochimaru's expression turned icy cold, and he turned his head to look at the person coming from the corridor.

Itachi, wearing a black trench coat with red clouds, walked over slowly, followed by Kisame.

"Karin!"

Orochimaru looked at Karin. Only then did he discover that Karin's chakra was very unstable; this was clearly a sign of being under a genjutsu.

Itachi's genjutsu was definitely among the best in the Naruto World; enemies were already caught in his genjutsu before they even noticed.

"Just as expected, this snake took the bait. Using the Sharingan as bait works quite well."

Kisame, carrying the ninja sword Samehada, laughed a few times, his dead-fish eyes scanning everyone present.

The situation on the field changed from the original ten-to-one to ten-to-three.

Su Xiao was not a member of Sasori's squad at all. The identity Nagato had arranged for him was to assist in capturing Tailed Beasts, meaning that whichever squad was capturing a Tailed Beast, he would temporarily join that squad.

Orochimaru's face was as gloomy as water. After a moment, he laughed.

"A decent plan. Unfortunately, it's ineffective against me."

Orochimaru's body suddenly collapsed. Itachi's Sharingan met Orochimaru's snake-like pupils.

With a 'thump', Orochimaru fell to the ground, his pale skin cracking open, and the face of a female ninja appeared. This wasn't Orochimaru at all.

With a 'splash', Suigetsu turned into a puddle of clear water, quickly seeping into the cracks in the floor. In an instant, Orochimaru and Suigetsu vanished.

"This, this, this."

Karin retreated several steps. She was a sensory + medical ninja and didn't have such strong escape methods.

"Heh, as expected, this snake escaped, Itachi."

Kisame didn't seem surprised by Orochimaru's escape, and Itachi's expression was as usual.

"Then I'll pretend I didn't see it."

Su Xiao took out an apple and took a bite. Itachi had gone easy just now; otherwise, he definitely could have kept Orochimaru. As for why he went easy, one didn't need to guess to know: it was to help Uchiha Sasuke grow.

Checking Zhan Long Shan slowly unsheathed. Su Xiao's figure vanished instantly. Of course, when he appeared again, the blade was already stained with blood; he had killed those experimental subjects of Orochimaru, who had all stood blankly in place after Orochimaru left.

"One left."

Su Xiao squatted in front of Karin, took a big bite of the apple, and chewed it carefully.

Karin slumped on the ground. She didn't dare to resist, nor was she stupid enough to resist, because the three people in front of her were all monster-level; resisting would only lead to a faster death.

"Since she's Orochimaru's subordinate, then kill her."

Kisame walked up, and Karin trembled with fear.

"Wait."

Itachi walked up.

"She still has a use."
