Chapter 113

Obviously, their research into the soul will become even more profound!

Perhaps they have already achieved relevant research results!

It is a pity that he! will not be able to see these research results.

Nemu Kurotsuchi suddenly said: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly, and he fell silent.

Such an important place, and he, an outsider, is actually allowed to visit?

His first reaction was to suspect the Land of Whirlpools' motives.

However, his thirst for knowledge still made him unable to resist.

"Is that allowed?"

Nemu Kurotsuchi's expression did not change, and she said blandly: "Please, come in."

The gate opened, and suddenly, everything opened up before his eyes.

Researchers in white lab coats were walking back and forth inside.

The entire Technology Development Bureau had a sci-fi feel that was completely out of place in the Ninja World.

There were even many instruments that Orochimaru had never seen before.

Nemu Kurotsuchi took him around casually.

Of course, some important areas were not shown to Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru still widened his eyes, watching with great interest.

Although he couldn't understand what most of them were used for at all.

But there were some he still had some understanding of.

For example, in a certain laboratory, the research on cloning life.

This research made him clench his hands in excitement.

There were also instruments that could probe the Ninja World through a screen.

The images displayed were precisely the battles between those monsters called Hollows and the Cloud Ninja in the Land of Lightning.

By the time Orochimaru came out of the Technology Development Bureau, he felt a sense of loss.

The Land of Whirlpools seemed to live in a different world from the rest of the Ninja World.

Even Konoha, which considers itself the number one ninja village in the Ninja World, couldn't catch up even with a horse-drawn carriage.

Every single thing here was deeply attracting him.

Especially the mysteries of the soul!

But...

Orochimaru took a deep breath, calming his fanatical heart.

He is still a person of Konoha, and a disciple personally cultivated by Teacher Hiruzen; he cannot let down Teacher Hiruzen's cultivation of him.

Having finished touring the Seireitei.

Nemu Kurotsuchi finally brought Orochimaru to the high-rise building he had looked up at when he first entered.

The Thirteenth Division Headquarters Building!

Nemu Kurotsuchi said: "Let's go, come with me to see the Soul King."

Orochimaru's heart sank, feeling a bit nervous.

Is he finally going to see the true face of this mysterious Soul King of the Land of Whirlpools!

Walking into the headquarters building, an atmosphere of solemn killing instantly enveloped him.

On one side of the hall, figures with thick auras stood quietly, each one giving him a feeling of his hair standing on end.

It felt as if as long as he made one rash move, he would likely die and vanish.

According to Konoha intelligence, Orochimaru quickly understood that these must be the Captains of the Land of Whirlpools.

One, two, three, four...

Only four appeared...

Doesn't the Land of Whirlpools have thirteen divisions?

Could it be that the other captains have all gone to execute missions?

Orochimaru guessed in his heart, then looked up at the main seat.

With just one glance, Orochimaru's pupils shrank violently.

That eye-catching red hair instantly confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

The Soul King of the Land of Whirlpools is indeed of the Uzumaki Clan!

All of Konoha's previous guesses were confirmed!

While shocked in his heart, Orochimaru said respectfully on the surface: "Konoha messenger Orochimaru, greets the Soul King!"

Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun said blandly: "Orochimaru, what do you think of my Land of Whirlpools?"

Orochimaru was startled, not understanding the purpose of the Soul King's question, but still said respectfully:

"The Land of Whirlpools has prosperous architecture, a beautiful environment, and many special places; it is a very magical country!"

Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun chuckled: "Then are you interested in coming to work in my Land of Whirlpools? My Land of Whirlpools' Technology Development Bureau is still missing a director."

Orochimaru's heart jumped violently!

Poaching!

But he was indeed suddenly tempted!

The Land of Whirlpools is full of souls, and he could even serve as the director of the Technology Development Bureau!

He took a deep breath and rejected this extremely tempting invitation.

"Sorry, Soul King, I am currently still a ninja of Konoha."

Oh, so that means it would be fine if you weren't?

Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun chuckled in his heart; this is truly interesting.

Inviting Orochimaru to the Land of Whirlpools was something Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun had also thought through carefully.

And he was not afraid of Orochimaru becoming a double agent.

As long as he dared to agree, he would need to become a Soul Reaper through the Soul Reaper Transformation Scroll.

Once transformed into a Soul Reaper, it would be impossible for him to ever have bad intentions toward him again.

This is the control the identity of the Soul King has over Soul Reapers under the system settings.

With just one thought, he could easily control the life and death of the Soul Reapers!

Since Orochimaru rejected his invitation, Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun did not continue the topic.

The reaction had already planted a seed in Orochimaru's heart, and he even took him to see the research projects on souls and life in the Technology Development Bureau.

He didn't believe Orochimaru wouldn't be tempted by these.

One day, Orochimaru would take the initiative to deliver himself to his door.

"Since that is the case, let's talk about what Konoha sent you here to do."

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, truly afraid that if he rejected this invitation, the Soul King might get angry and have these captains beat him to death.

Orochimaru said: "This visit to the Land of Whirlpools is for the matter of Uzumaki Kushina."

He said solemnly: "Uzumaki Kushina has great significance to my Konoha. We, Konoha, are willing to pay any price to keep Uzumaki Kushina. I hope the Soul King will grant this!"

Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun said playfully: "Any price?"

Orochimaru said seriously: "Any price!"

"Then give Konoha to our Land of Whirlpools."

"Uh... this, I'm afraid that won't do."

Orochimaru was embarrassed. He said any price, but that was just to sound good. How could this Soul King actually dare to ask for it!

Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun snorted and said: "Didn't you say any price?"

Orochimaru was sweating profusely and could only bite the bullet and say: "This really won't do..."

Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun said with a lack of interest: "Since Konoha has no sincerity, then forget it. See the guest out."

"Wait!"

Orochimaru wanted to say something more, but was looked at coldly by several captains.

Then he wisely shut his mouth.

Just as Orochimaru was about to step out of the headquarters gate, Xuan Yuan Qian Jiu Xun spoke:

"I will only give Konoha three days. If I don't see Kushina in the Land of Whirlpools after three days, then my Land of Whirlpools will have to go and take her personally."
