Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 889: Substitution

Fifty kilometers outside of Konoha, deep in the forest.

Accompanied by a swirling ripple, the figures of Obito and Orochimaru twisted into existence.

“Madara-sama.” Emerging from the dark shadows of the trees, the patiently waiting Zetsu stepped forward slowly.

Obito was very satisfied with how Zetsu called him, and said: “Is what I requested ready?”

“Of course.” The one speaking was Black Zetsu. He controls Zetsu’s right hand and took out a scroll from his pocket and tossed it over.

Obito then handed it over to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru eagerly opened the scroll and took out two bottles from inside, which all contained Hashirama’s cells.

“Orochimaru, are you really going to transplant Hashirama’s cells?” Obito was still a little doubtful.

“What do you think?” Orochimaru smiled as he took out a syringe and drew a dose of Hashirama’s cells from the bottle, then injecting it directly into his left chest!

Beside him, Zetsu also felt a tingling sensation.

Especially Black Zetsu. He knew how terrifying the power contained in Hashirama’s cells was. Even Madara had barely survived the transplantation and slowly adapted to it!

Let alone an ordinary person!

Even lucky individuals like Tenzo could only successfully transplant Hashirama’s cells little by little from a young age, so how could Orochimaru inject them so recklessly?

This is almost like he’s courting death!

But what shocked Obito and Black Zetsu was that after injecting a syringe of the Hashirama’s cells into his heart, Orochimaru's face showed a strange flush, as if… he was extremely pleased!

After some time, there is still a lingering color of ecstasy!

‘Did he really inject Hashirama’s cells just now?’

Under the astonished gaze of Obito and the others, Orochimaru didn't stop his actions. He continued to inject syringe after syringe of Hashirama’s cells into his heart, devouring the power of Hashirama’s cells frantically.

Obito looked at Orochimaru in surprise, ‘With such injections, Orochimaru might really inherit Wood Release Kekkei Genkai from Hashirama’s cells!’

‘Well, provided he doesn't die!’

Black Zetsu, on the other hand, vaguely sensed something: “Orochimaru, you… did you change your body?”

A person's appearance can change, and arms can be severed, but height is difficult to change, unless it's through amputation.

As for Transformation Technique?

Under the erosion of Hashirama’s cells, let alone Orochimaru, even Madara cannot maintain Transformation Technique!

Reminded by Black Zetsu’s words, Obito subconsciously compared his height to Orochimaru's, and indeed, he noticed something!

‘He's shorter than me!’

“Discovered, huh?”

After injecting a bottle of Hashirama’s cells, Orochimaru finally stopped. At this time, his body was filled with an overwhelming vitality, with every cell seemingly groaning, expanding, dividing, and transforming!

And the face on Orochimaru's left chest became clearer and clearer, and the facial features of Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama, can be distinguished!

Vaguely, Orochimaru felt a powerful force slowly awakening within his body.

It was the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai deeply hidden beneath the surging vitality!

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Orochimaru's eyes. He put away the remaining bottle of Hashirama’s cells, intending to wait for some time before the second injection.

“What is going on with your body?” Obito asked solemnly.

“It's just a change of body, nothing to be surprised about.”

Orochimaru looked calmly at Obito and Black Zetsu, then smoothly changed the subject, “Madara, please send me to Konoha next. I want to participate in the Chunin Exams as an ordinary examinee.”

“Is that necessary?” Obito frowned.

The starting point of the Konoha Crush Plan is the final phase of the Chunin Exams. Orochimaru entering now as an ordinary examinee would only add unnecessary risks!

“I want to examine someone.” Orochimaru touched his vertical pupil.

Orochimaru has a deep obsession with Sharingan. Although he had obtained the Sharingan he desired, the owner of these eyes was just an ordinary Shinobi from the Uchiha Clan, someone with average talent!

When Orochimaru used this pair of Sharingan, he clearly realized that the potential of these eyes had reached its limit, so he wanted to change it with a pair of Sharingan with greater potential.

In the Uchiha Clan, only three people had outstanding talents and could enter Orochimaru's sight: One is Shisui, the second one is Itachi, and the last one is Sasuke, who has recently risen to fame. After all, he’s a genius youngster who awakened Two-Tomoe Sharingan at a young age!

Among the three people, Shisui’s Genjutsu is too terrifying. Even if he has 3-Tomoe Sharingan, Orochimaru didn't have the confidence to confront him head-on. Moreover, the Konoha Crush Plan was about to begin, and he didn't want to provoke Shisui to go back from the border.

Itachi is a member of the Anbu, so it is difficult to find an opportunity to attack him.

So, there’s only Sasuke left!

Moreover, with Sasuke’s strength and personality, it was highly likely that he would participate in this year's Chunin Exams!

Therefore, it was necessary for Orochimaru to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and carefully test the potential of this genius!

That night, Obito used Kamui to bring Orochimaru to the Konoha Cemetery.

“I can only take you here.” Obito said coldly, but his eye subconsciously looked towards Rin’s tombstone.

“Goodbye.”

After using Obito, the teleportation tool, Orochimaru ruthlessly left.

About half an hour later, Ichigo Hot Spring.

In Kirigakure’s small courtyard.

Suddenly, a beautiful secretary opened her beautiful eyes and walked out of the bedroom. She glanced at the roof not far away, where Mei was drinking and looking at the moon as usual. She She paid no attention and turned left and right to a bedroom, where three Kirigakure’s Genin lived, one of whom had a body very similar to Orochimaru's!

She knocked on the door and called out to that person, asking him to come back to her room to discuss something important!

“Go to your room?” The Genin looked at the sky, then at the enchanting figure of the beautiful secretary leaving, feeling dumbfounded!

‘In the middle of the night, this this this…’

The Genin rubbed his hands nervously, ‘Could it really be?’

He pondered left and right, with the word ‘pervert’ written all over his face, and decided to take the plunge!

Entering the beautiful secretary's bedroom, the Genin closed the door and eagerly pounced: “Hello, here I am!”

Bang!

The emotionless beautiful secretary knocked him out with a single blow, then a small white snake crawled down from the ceiling and spat out Orochimaru.

With a smile on his lips, Orochimaru quickly changed into the Genin's clothes at lightning speed. Then, he used the Face Tearing Technique to peel off Genin's face to cover himself with it, and finally covered the Genin's mouth and nose to suffocate him to death. After it’s all done, he used a sealing scroll to collect his corpse.

After finishing everything, Orochimaru and the beautiful secretary exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without being said!

Then, Orochimaru left the bedroom. However, as soon as he pushed the door, he almost shouted out loud!

‘Gekko Kanp??!’

‘Why is he here?!’

Orochimaru’s pupils shrank, ‘Had I been discovered?’

‘I just came in!’

Various thoughts flashed through Orochimaru's mind amidst the uncertainty, and then he found that he was worrying too much.

He saw Kanp? sneaking onto the roof in the distance, drinking and chatting with another figure.

It’s Mei!

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly returned to ‘his' room as a Kirigakure’s Genin and went to sleep.
