1 Chapter 1
The Country of Grass.
The moonlight was bright in the black night.
Moonlight spilled down, illuminating the ground, revealing a pitch-black hole. A series of muffled explosions sounded from within the cave.
Crack!
The mountainside suddenly split open!
Countless fragments of rock flew and splintered, the entire mountain was shaking on the verge of collapse!
A long-haired man flew backward from the rubble, his eyes fixed on the crumbling mountain, his hands quickly forming the hand seals of a ninjutsu technique.
"Summoning Technique!"
The smoke from the Summoning Technique was thick.
A giant brown snake was summoned.
Before the giant snake could react, a nimble young figure suddenly jumped out from the mountainside, landing a punch on the snake's head!
The punch was powerful!
The giant snake had only been summoned for a few seconds when it was hit by the sudden punch, its head burst open, and its body turned into smoke and disappeared.
However, this little bit of time...
Was enough for the summoner to land in a safe location.
The long-haired man stood on the ground, not caring at all about the death of his summoned beast. He simply looked up at the figure glowing faintly, sticking out his tongue to lick his lips.
"The greatest creation... has been born..."
The long-haired man's eyes were filled with greed, as if through the thick smoke, he was looking at the world's most precious treasure: "Such an astonishing chakra..."
This is the first time in history...
That a subject could perfectly be compatible with Hashirama's cells!
The smoke slowly dissipated.
A black-haired youth, bare-chested, landed on the ground.
The youth was very handsome, maybe most people would instantly feel affection for him at first sight. However, the aura that bloomed from the youth could not be ignored.
That was...
What an immense chakra!
There are only a few ninjas in the entire ninja world who could achieve this!
The young boy looked at the long-haired man in front of him, tilting his head curiously. His clear gaze was as innocent as a newborn baby's.
"Who... are you?"
The boy's voice was somewhat naive in asking the question.
The long-haired man was a bizarrely handsome figure, with snake-like vertical pupils in his eyes and an unwelcome cold, snaky breath about him.
There was only one person in the entire ninja world who fit this description: Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Ninjas of Konoha!
"Hm?"
Orochimaru frowned at the boy's question and rasped, "It seems the experiment is still somewhat dangerous. Has there been an issue with your brain cells?"
"..."
The boy tilted his head, the intimidating aura around him slowly fading.
"Kagura Akihara."
Orochimaru called out the boy's name.
However, this name seemed to suddenly set the boy on alert!
The ground beneath the boy's feet suddenly cracked open. With the help of the sudden acceleration when he stepped on the ground, he reached out toward Orochimaru's head with his hand!
A wooden spike burst from the boy's palm!
The boy's surprise attack was too sudden!
In a split second!
The wooden spike was about to pierce Orochimaru's head!
In a hurry, Orochimaru raised his two fingers. Black curse marks quickly appeared all over the boy's body, immobilizing him!
Curse Seal!
By implanting a curse mark in the target's body in advance, it can be activated at a critical moment, making the target's body manifest a sealing jutsu that restricts movement!
To avoid possible accidents, Orochimaru had already placed the Curse Seal inside the boy's body, but still felt the recent event was somewhat dangerous...
Now, having taken control of the boy's movements, Orochimaru finally calmed down, his eerie smile returning to his face.
"It seems it's still possible..."
Bang!
The next moment!
The chakra in the boy's body erupted once again!
Just the chakra's eruption caused a startling oppressive force!
One by one, the curse marks began to slowly dissolve under the strong impact of the chakra, the Curse Seal on the boy's body was slowly disintegrating and disappearing...
Orochimaru's figure swiftly retreated!
The boy managed to dispel the curse on his body with the eruption of his chakra. He glanced at the distance between Orochimaru and himself, and the confusion in his eyes began to slowly dissipate.
"Lord Orochimaru?"
The boy seemed to regain his clarity, his expression filled with unease and apology, "I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru. I lost control of my body just now and couldn't control my actions. Fortunately, you used the Curse Seal to control my body..."
"That's a normal phenomenon."
Orochimaru sensed that the boy had returned to normal and slowly nodded. His smile returned to his face as he explained, "Many subjects of the Hashirama cell transplant experiment have this kind of side effect, but at least you survived... How do you feel?"
"Better than ever."
The boy extended his arm, feeling the power in his fist, "My physical strength is extremely robust, my chakra is very abundant, and my perception ability has also significantly improved..."
"But..."
"My Kekkei Genkai is a bit strange..."
The boy extended his palm and a wooden spike drilled out from it, "This power is very strong, and it doesn't even require any effort to use..."
"That's just the insignificant power of your Kekkei Genkai."
Orochimaru looked at the wooden spike in the boy's palm, his smile broadening, "I will teach you even more powerful Wood Release techniques."
"Do I have to learn more?"
The boy sounded a bit aggrieved, muttering, "Lord Orochimaru... I thought that after the experiment was successful, you would use the Living Corpse Reincarnation to take over my body."
"It's not the time yet."
Orochimaru's expression was somewhat meaningful.
Living Corpse Reincarnation is a technique of eternal life that Orochimaru created himself.
By transferring his spirit, he can take over and possess others' bodies to achieve immortality, even gaining additional powers and knowledge from them.
Orochimaru has performed Living Corpse Reincarnation twice. The first time was purely for experimentation, selecting a body that was quite compatible.
The second reincarnation was because the woman's body he is currently using is very compatible with his soul and can fully utilize his power.
According to Orochimaru's calculations, this woman's body can still be used for a few more years. It would be too wasteful to abandon it.
Such a compatible body is not easy to find.
Most importantly, Living Corpse Reincarnation requires at least a three-year interval, and it hasn't been long since Orochimaru switched to this woman's body.
Orochimaru also hopes that the boy in front of him will learn more ninjutsu, so when he takes over the boy's body in the future, Orochimaru can gain additional knowledge.
Compared to half-finished products, Orochimaru prefers completed ones.
As for whether the boy will betray him after becoming stronger, Orochimaru isn't worried about this issue, because he watched the boy grow up from a young age.
The little guy is called Kagura Akihara, an orphan.
Orochimaru is very familiar with these children abandoned by the world.
As long as you give them a little warmth, they will flock to you like moths to a flame. Even if you throw them into the fire, they will not choose to leave.
In theory, Kagura Akihara, the boy, should also be the same.
Reality is more bizarre, Kagura Akihara is an exception, the system alert tone rings in the boy's mind, reminding him of the fact that he is a transmigrator.
