Chương 273: Terrifying! A 2-year-old Kage-level!

A 2-year-old Kage-level!

A twelve-year-old Kage-level!

In the Naruto world, in the Land of Rice Fields, Orochimaru's base.

Since defecting from Miyo, Yosei has been learning various kinds of knowledge and reading various scrolls from Orochimaru.

Compared to Nisuke, who received personal instruction from Orochimaru, Yosei was more enthusiastic about research and looking through the various ninjutsu scrolls collected by Orochimaru.

To be fair, Orochimaru, as one of the legendary "Sannin of the Third Generation," possesses exceptional combat experience and knowledge. Under his direct tutelage, one's strength can indeed improve rapidly in a short period of time.

However, with the support of the entire army of Zhutian Yangcheng, he possessed the ability to share resources and was not lacking in combat experience and insights. Compared to Orochimaru's personal instruction, the forbidden techniques he collected were far more attractive.

As one of the former candidates for Hokage, Orochimaru's side possessed just as many forbidden and secret techniques as Konoha's.

Furthermore, after defecting from Konoha, Orochimaru frequently raided other ninja villages, resulting in a very rich collection of secret techniques, including those from Konoha as well as many from other ninja villages.

"You came to Orochimaru's place just to study these secret techniques?"

As Yang Cheng fiddled with the research equipment and recorded data on the scroll while conducting experiments, Nizusako suddenly appeared in his research room, leaning against a pillar and asking a question with a cool expression.

As graduates of the same ninja academy, Yang Cheng and Sasuke didn't interact much before, but now that they're both in Orochimaru's stronghold, they see each other all the time, so their interactions have naturally increased.

Previously, Nisuke didn't pay much attention to Yang Cheng. After all, as one of the Four Laughing Uchiha, Nisuke was currently focused on becoming stronger and had her beloved older brother, so she didn't care about anything else.

However, ever since he was beaten up by Yang Cheng last time, Erzhuzi has been holding a grudge and has been coming to find Yang Cheng every few days, trying to get revenge.

Of course, getting revenge was one thing, but another was that Nizusako was very curious about how Yangcheng usually trained.

He believed that he had already resorted to any means necessary to become stronger.

Not only did he rely on the power of the Heavenly Curse Seal to become neither human nor demon, but he also betrayed Konoha and willingly became Orochimaru's replacement vessel.

Orochimaru's teaching was indeed more professional than Kakashi's, and with the power of the cursed seal, Sasuke could feel himself getting stronger every day.

But he just couldn't understand why, even though he was growing so fast, he always ended up getting beaten black and blue every time he sparred with Yang Cheng.

He admitted that there was a certain gap in strength between him and Yang Cheng in the past, but under Orochimaru's careful tutelage, this gap should have been narrowing. Otherwise, why would he have betrayed Konoha to come to Orochimaru?

However, what was the actual situation? The gap between him and Yang Cheng did not narrow despite his hard work in cultivation.

Even Sasuke could sense that the gap in strength between himself and Yang Cheng seemed to be widening!

At first, Sasuke suspected that Orochimaru was giving Yang Cheng special training, but after confirmation, this suspicion was disproven.

So here's the question: how did Yang Cheng, who didn't receive Orochimaru's tutelage, manage to improve his strength so quickly?

Nizuko was curious about this, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she would come to Yang Cheng every few days to find out the details.

There's no way around it; our Sasuke is just too desperate for power right now.

"If you're here looking for a beating, I'm sorry, I don't have time to mess around with you right now."

"And if you're here to test my limits, curious about how I became so strong, I can only say that my methods aren't suitable for you. Honestly accept Orochimaru's teachings; he certainly has the ability to make you continuously stronger."

The current second assistant is just a twelve-year-old child, and her thoughts are all too easy to guess.

As one of the main characters in the world, Yang Cheng didn't bother arguing with the other person, even though their personality was unlikable.

"Hmph, one day I'll trample you under my feet!"

Orochimaru has quite a few forbidden and secret techniques here, but they generally come with severe side effects. Be careful, or you might end up playing with fire and getting burned one day.

Sasuke, his little scheme exposed, left with a haughty remark before turning and departing.

When Yang Cheng heard the second half of Sasuke's sentence, he was also stunned for a moment. Was this guy just superficially trying to make friends with him?

Was it to win him over so that he could join him in resisting Orochimaru in the future, or was it just out of consideration for being a fellow villager?

Since Nizusako still doesn't know the truth about the extermination of her clan, her corruption into darkness is probably not complete yet, so it should be the latter?

However, Yang Cheng doesn't care about what will happen three years from now, because he estimates that he probably won't be around that time.

Having shared the power of Yoshinari from the Slime World, Yoshinari is now extremely confident that he can defeat Orochimaru even if they face each other directly.

A twelve-year-old Kage-level powerhouse is that awesome; it's all because his bloodline is from a clan with cheat codes.

The reason he wasn't in a hurry to leave, despite already being so terrifying, was simply because Orochimaru's resources hadn't been completely depleted yet.

However, Yang Cheng estimated that it wouldn't take more than three years, about another year or two, for him to have all of Orochimaru's forbidden techniques and secret arts become part of his knowledge base.

While searching through Orochimaru's ninjutsu scrolls, Yosei also found some research materials that Orochimaru had previously kept.

In addition to Orochimaru's bloodline research and bio-modification data, these research materials also include some records of other strongholds.

Orochimaru's largest research base was undoubtedly the southern base where Kaori was located, where Orochimaru kept the most biologically modified experimental subjects.

Orochimaru has many strongholds, some of which he has abandoned. For example, Genjuro Island, which Yangcheng is currently seeing from the scroll, is one of them.

"You're planning to go to Genjurojima Island? What's your reason? The base there has been abandoned for a long time, and there's nothing worth staying for."

If you're interested in bio-engineering, you can go to the southern outpost; there are quite a few projects there that I'm satisfied with.

Genjuro Island is a small island located between the Land of Water and the Land of the Sea. It was one of Orochimaru's early research bases, where he carried out biological modifications and left behind some data.

Orochimaru, however, believed that the bio-modification data there was outdated, and he couldn't understand why Yang Cheng would go to such a godforsaken place.

"It seems your intelligence work is inadequate. Genjurojiro Island is now also known as Onikai Island."

Rumors have it that incredible creatures like sea monsters have appeared in the Land of the Sea, so I'm quite interested and plan to go and see for myself.

"Sea monster? Are you sure it's not just some ignorant villagers mistaking large fish for sea monsters?"

Upon hearing the name "Sea Demon," Orochimaru licked his lips and showed a hint of interest on his face.

After all, as an expert in bioengineering, he was quite interested in such abnormal organisms.
