Two days later.
Late at night, everything is silent.
The dark forest dozens of miles outside Konoha Village.
The night sky is bright and boundless, and the bright moon hangs high in the cloudless blue sky like a silver plate.
The stars are timidly twinkling lonely gleams in the distance, and carefully disappearing into farther and deeper space.
The biting north wind howled, causing the bare branches in the forest to sway back and forth, making a whimpering sound that sounded eerie.
In the dark and deep forest, a soft figure emerged from the hole of a big tree that could only be hugged by more than ten people.
I saw that the man was wearing a white kimono, his gray face was completely bloodless, and his snake eyes exuded a dangerous light.
The gray-white color of his whole body was incompatible with the darkness, but the gloominess of the night blended with the aura on his body.
It was Orochimaru, one of the Sannin of Konoha.
Orochimaru left the big tree and strolled into the lonely and dark forest.
About ten minutes later, Orochimaru walked out of the darkness holding a test tube.
Just now, Orochimaru went to a specific place and obtained fresh experimental materials.
In the test tube is a pair of eyes soaked in a special solution.
There are still some red blood streaks around the eyeballs, floating in the solution.
The pupils on the eyes are round, staring straight in one direction, making people feel penetrating.
Orochimaru looked at the eyes in the test tube as he walked, his long tongue couldn't help but lick his lips, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Woo~"
Suddenly, Orochimaru raised his head alertly and looked around.
However, nothing unusual was found.
The cold wind waved in the night sky like a sharp sword, blowing through the woods, making a shrill cry like a wolf howling, which sounded so eerie and scary.
The pale moonlight filled the earth, and the tops of the densely packed branches around it formed a pale color.
Under the cold moonlight, the deserted grass seemed to give birth to countless mysterious shadows. From a distance, it looked like a forest of undead flames, endlessly growing.
Orochimaru put the test tube into his ninja bag, frowned and murmured: "Is it because the recent experiments have been too intense and I am too nervous?"
Although he said this, Orochimaru, who was always cautious, stood still and did not move.
Secretly using ninjutsu, he mobilized countless small snakes to look for enemies that might be hiding in the forest.
"Shashasha~"
Countless small snakes of various colors were swimming among the weeds, with their big, bright eyes glowing green.
From time to time, he would spit out long strings of letters from his mouth, searching for any life nearby.
Under the strong howling wind, the sound of snakes crawling could be vaguely heard.
The "hissing" sound was accompanied by the sound of friction with the flowers, plants and trees on the ground as it moved rapidly.
Orochimaru also knew that the experiments he conducted should not be exposed.
Especially since he had offended Hiruzen Sarutobi, there might be ANBU sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi looking for him somewhere and observing him secretly.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Time passed bit by bit, and the snakes had crawled everywhere they could.
There are all kinds of venomous snakes everywhere for miles around.
Even the bare branches were covered with winding and twisted black shadows.
From time to time, a few whimpering sounds could be heard sporadically all around, which seemed to be the last struggle of life and a cry for help before death.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, but Orochimaru ordered the snakes to hunt down all the hibernating animals around them just to be on the safe side.
This is to prevent someone from using ninja beasts to observe secretly.
It wasn't until a while later that Orochimaru was finally sure that there were no traces of other creatures around.
Only then did he feel relieved and walked towards the entrance of the experimental base.
Arriving at the previous tree hole, Orochimaru first stretched out his pale arms warily.
The arm squirmed, and a snake head came out, and it poked into the tree hole to take a look.
Seeing nothing strange, Orochimaru got into the tree hole.
The tree hole is very deep, a full seven or eight meters.
Orochimaru fell to the bottom, surrounded by hard stone walls, and directly in front of him was a dark passage.
Orochimaru walked into the passage with ease and walked down the stone stairs.
After walking for tens of meters, his eyes were clear and he was in the laboratory.
This is Orochimaru's No. 1 laboratory, which contains specimens of the remains of various animals, as well as various medicinal materials and reagents.
This is nothing more than a cover-up.
Orochimaru came to the corner of the room, reached out and pressed an area of the stone wall, and pushed in slightly.
That part of the stone wall was sunk in.
A tight stone door beside him slowly opened.
Orochimaru walked into the stone door, reached out and pressed the switch next to the stone door, and the stone door slowly closed again.
Immediately afterwards, Orochimaru couldn't wait to take out the test tube from the ninja bag.
When he came to the experimental table, he carefully took out the eyeball from the test tube with tweezers and put it into the container.
Suddenly, Orochimaru felt his heart suddenly shrink, frowned and turned around suddenly, looking around cautiously.
This laboratory is much larger than the experiments outside.
There were human bodies sealed in containers, and scrolls of ninjutsu developed by himself were placed on the bookshelf. There was also an dissected corpse lying on the operating table in the middle.
The special freezing solution in the corner also stores Hashirama cells and various limbs and cells of people with blood inheritance limits.
There is a bed and a seat at the end of the laboratory, both for your own use when resting.
From Orochimaru's perspective, he could take in the entire laboratory scene at a glance.
But there was nothing, but Orochimaru felt the warning signs in his heart getting stronger.
This is derived from the instinct of snakes, as if they are being watched by some powerful hunter.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, not daring to act rashly, and repeatedly observed everything in the laboratory.
After all, there are all kinds of hidden ninjutsu in the ninja world. Maybe someone has a specific ninjutsu that can escape one's perception and hide in some unexpected place.
But if someone comes in early, he will definitely not be able to resist touching things in the laboratory.
Orochimaru looked intently at every corner and began to compare it with the memory of when he left.
Time ticks by.
Exactly the same.
It's exactly the same, the entire laboratory has not changed at all from the way it was when I left.
Could it be my own misunderstanding again?
Or he came back too quickly, before the visitor had time to touch his things.
It's okay if it's an illusion. If someone is really hiding here, as long as he finds it.
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, showed a weird smile on his lips, and murmured in a sinister tone: "Interesting."
After saying that, Orochimaru walked slowly and came to the container where the human body was stored.
Transparent glass containers are arranged neatly in a row.
Orochimaru slowly moved his head closer to the glass wall of the container, carefully observing the human specimen soaked in the special solution inside.
In this container is a man with his eyes tightly closed, but the outline of his facial features is very clear, as if he is about to open his eyes in the next second.
Because the blood has been drained and filled with fresh-keeping solvents, the skin appears grayish-white.
His hair was scattered in the liquid, and his face was a little ferocious. It was obvious that his death was not that happy.
Well, this is no problem, there is no life activity, and there are no traces of the transformation technique.
Orochimaru covered the container with his hand, as if stroking something he loved very lovingly.
The expression on his face is also gentle and gentle, but in such an environment, there is no sense of warmth, it just looks weird and permeable.
After Orochimaru was sure that it was correct, he lowered his eyes and his expression returned. Then he went to the next container and observed it carefully as usual.
no problem.
This is no problem...
