After getting what they wanted, Tonero and Orochimaru quickly left Kumogakure, a place of right and wrong.

It won't last long for Toneri to turn the wood into the Eight-Tailed Corner. While the current Kumogakure Village is still in chaos due to the Eight-Tailed Rebellion, it is a good choice to leave immediately.

If they wait until they discover the abnormality in the horns and try to leave again, it will be too late.

In an unknown forest not far outside Cloud Hidden Village, a ninja in black robes had a very petite pocket cat lying on his shoulder.

The kitten whispered something into the ninja's ear, and the ninja jumped away and left.

"This kid is really brave, he actually caused such a big commotion in Yunyin Village.

That terrifying energy fluctuation before should be the Eight-Tails of Hidden Cloud Village, right?"

This ninja was Kakuzu who started cooperation with Toneri a year ago.

According to their verbal cooperation agreement at the time, Toneri helped Kakuzu earn more money, making it easier for him to make money, and providing a continuous supply of information.

He did this perfectly and even exceeded his expectations.

In this year, the rapidly spreading intelligence network not only made him a lot of money, but also made Kakuzu more money. It was a win-win cooperation.

Now that he has made money, Kakuzu is willing to continue to cooperate with Toneri.

And if Toneri has fulfilled his promise, then Kakuzu will also fulfill what he said.

Some simple tasks can provide voluntary help, but if it is some difficult tasks, the person needs to pay a large sum of money.

You can get a discount, but you can’t live without it.

For example, during this trip to Kumogakure Village, after knowing that Orochimaru would take him with him, Toneri notified Kakuzu in advance and asked him to meet him outside Kumogakure Village, just in case.

Under normal circumstances, Toner and Orochimaru can retreat safely as long as they provoke the Eight-Tails to go berserk, but in order to obtain the Eight-Tails' native chakra, they must take risks.

What we need to face at that time is very likely the powerful third generation Raikage and a large number of Kumo ninjas. He and Orochimaru alone are not enough to face such a situation, but if we add the same powerful Kage level

If the enemy's Kakuzu is located, then the probability of the three of them successfully retreating will be much higher.

This is the reason why Toneri is so bold and goes directly to steal the Eight-Tailed Corner.

Without complete preparation, how could Shiren, with such a steady character, do such a risky thing.

However, Orochimaru cannot know about this backhand, otherwise the connection between him and Kakuzu will have to be explained to Konoha for a long time.

So this is just his final insurance policy.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen and they successfully retreated.

And Kakuzu, who just stood for a while, didn't pay much. This was considered a help between partners, and Toneri didn't need to pay him any money.

However, this operation also made Kakuzu a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not become enemies with Toneri, otherwise he would team up with Orochimaru and others to ambush him and kill him directly.

It was also from the end of the mission to Hidden Cloud Village that Kakuzu's view of Toneri completely changed. He was no longer an explosive ninja who relied on his master and his own trump cards. Even though his strength was not as good as his, his abilities were still gained.

got his approval.

Put the saner in the position of a true partner.

After leaving Kumogakure Village, Orochimaru and Toneri returned to Konoha at full speed without stopping.

The Eight-Tailed Rebellion in Yunyin Village and the loss of the Eight-Tailed Corner are all things that can only be swallowed by oneself.

After all, they don't know who did it.

Maybe even in order to prevent other hidden villages from knowing that due to the Eight-Tails Rebellion, they had caused a large number of ninja casualties, serious damage to the hidden villages, and huge financial losses, they had to take the initiative to conceal it, that is, not to let others know that their strength was weakened.

Speaking of which, Yunyin Village has been quite tragic in recent years.

The second tail of the tailed beast is missing. There is a strong guess that it is in Konoha, but there is no complete evidence. Moreover, because of the enmity with Iwagakure Village, I dare not rashly end the alliance with Konoha, even if it is Konoha and Sunagakure Village.

The commotion was in full swing.

Now that the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki has been eliminated again, it cannot be sealed into the Jinchuriki's body in a short period of time. Even if there is Kirabi, a perfect candidate for the Jinchuuriki, it will not be possible to seal it again until the Eight-Tails has completely regained its composure.

One of the Eight-Tails' horns was even missing, and we don't know who did it.

It can't be said to be miserable.

The two culprits who did this went into the laboratory after returning to Konoha.

It’s hard to find such good materials to study.

Orochimaru and Toneri could be said to have immersed themselves in it.

But the Eight-Tails is the Eight-Tails after all, and it is not that easy to study thoroughly. This is a large experimental project that will take them a long time to study.

The Eight-Tails involves natural energy and a lot of negative emotions. If you want to truly utilize the energy in it, it is quite troublesome to separate these energies from the debris of the Eight-Tails.

Unlike the two-tailed ones, who will take the initiative to help Toneri peel off the pure energy, the eight-tailed ones can only be manipulated by the two of them, trying again and again.

Toneri was not in a hurry and quickly utilized the native chakra in the Eight-Tailed Corner. With Orochimaru in front to help open the way, he could only wish for it.

And Toneri also knew that the Eight-Tails' chakra had limited effect on Orochimaru. It was more likely that it was extracted from the Eight-Tails' debris and belonged to the Eight-Tails' peculiar genetic sample.

Orochimaru developed his own white-scaled snake based on the genes of the White Snake Sennin of Ryūchi Cave.

White-scaled snakes are already very outstanding creatures in the entire ninja world, and there are not many creatures that can compete with them at the genetic level.

But this would certainly not satisfy Orochimaru completely.

If the genes extracted from the eight-tailed horns can be put to good use and integrated into the genes of the white-scaled snake, combining the advantages of the two creatures will definitely make this creature more powerful.

This is what Orochimaru needs.

As for the eight-tails chakra helping to study Senju Hashirama's cells, this is only a relatively important one among his many experiments, far less important to him than the white-scaled snake.

Senju Hashirama's cells are very strong, which also makes him full of interest.

But to put it bluntly, Senju Hashirama, who had such strength, still passed away, which shows that even if his cells are researched, they are not enough to give him immortality.

So he just wanted to find out why Senju Hashirama was so powerful and use it, but he didn't know how to do it directly.

This was also the reason why he was of no use to himself after he helped Danzo successfully transplant Senju Hashirama's cells.

To use the words of a very famous person in Toneri's past life: Can cells from Senju Hashirama lead to immortality?

If you don’t get immortality, don’t practice!

His goal may not be so obvious at this time, but he is definitely heading in the direction of eternal life.

It took seven days, and after being inspired by the Two-Tails, Tonero and Orochimaru, two of the strongest scientists in Konoha, finally figured out how to strip all kinds of hateful emotions out of the Eight-Tails' chakra.

That's just the two of them, otherwise anyone else would probably be used directly.

While gaining energy, there is a high chance that one will be affected by these hateful emotions, causing a drastic change in temperament or simply turning into a madman who only knows how to kill.

Looking at the fist-sized brown energy ball in the transparent glass container, Orochimaru and Toneri both showed satisfied smiles.

"How is it, Toneri-kun? How different is the chakra of the Eight-Tails and the chakra of the Two-Tails?" Orochimaru asked, licking his lips.

Toneri did not hesitate, "If the legend about the Six Paths Sage is true, then the chakras of the two-tailed and eight-tailed ones should come from the same source. There will be no difference in theory. However, after a thousand years, they have changed due to their living environment.

As well as its own needs, some unpredictable changes will inevitably occur.

What are the differences? I haven’t done any research and I don’t know.”

An expression of pity appeared on Orochimaru's face, "It's a pity that you are too protective of the two tails. If you can take it out for reference, it is estimated that the value will not be low."

Shiren also spread his hands helplessly.

The second tail is one of the foundations of his current strength. Protecting the second tail is to protect yourself. How can something like a trump card be easily studied by others?

Orochimaru also knew this, so he was not forced to get some two-tailed things or chakra from Toneri.

At this time, although Orochimaru had begun to become a little extreme in terms of his personality, he still looked towards Konoha in his heart.

At least judging from what happened this time.

Senju Hashirama's cells bothered him for more than a day or two, but why did he choose this time to go out and attack the Eight-Tails?

Isn't it just because Konoha is unstable now and needs enough strong men to take charge? Jiraiya's return makes him feel more at ease.

...

Back in their laboratory, Lingxiang and Xiaolan had been waiting in the laboratory for a long time.

"Are everything ready? It took a long time with Orochimaru to study the Eight-Tails chakra, but it was also for stability and to ensure greater safety."

Lingxiang and Xiaolan both nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he looked at a silver-white cat lying lazily on the experimental table.

"How are you preparing, Xiaoyin?"

The silver-white cat lazily opened its eyes, and its eyes lit up when it saw Toren's arrival.

This cat is the little silver he calls.

It is a cat that meets the requirements specially selected from many stray cats.

Xiaolan's arrival was more of an accident, but Xiaoyin was carefully chosen.

From the surface, you can't tell that it is much different from ordinary cats, but Xiaoyin's cells are very special, not only have strong recovery ability, but also have a strong ability to accept foreign things.

This is the cat he specially prepared for the eight-tails chakra.
