I would like to announce that I released a new fiction titled "My Life In The Multiverse" check it out and tell me what you think.

**********

Back at Orochimaru's hideout, Kabuto and Nono kept thanking Bakorio and Orochimaru repeatedly for saving them from Danzo's elaborate scheme…

Orochimaru shamelessly shared the praise with Bakorio until the latter said "Nono, you should return to Konoha and take care of the orphanage as you should have been, I already arranged with the Hokage to fix the problem with the funding so you don't have to worry about it anymore and risk going through these kinds of mission again"

Hearing this, Nono's eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't help but say in excitement "Really is this true?" Bakorio nodded at her calmly and he saw her turning to Kabuto with her face filled with happiness and held his hand causing the latter to blush as she said

"Kabuto-kun, the orphanage is finally saved!" but then she realized that Bakorio only said that she should go back, so she immediately stood in front of Kabuto like a mother protecting her child and said "What about Kabuto-kun? What are you planning to do with him?"

Bakorio smiled at her reassuringly and said "Don't worry, unlike Danzo, I have no plans to separate the two of you, but I want him to stay here for a while and learn from Orochimaru. After all, Kabuto is very talented, and if he stays in Konoha… Honestly, I think his talent would go to waste…"

Nono seemed hesitant to agree as she kept looking at Orochimaru whom she was still worried about and she ended up asking "Are you really sure Konoha won't consider him as a traitor if he stays with lord Orochimaru?"

Bakorio shot the human snake beside him an annoyed look for making his life harder before he said "Don't worry, I can vouch for his identity, and don't worry about Orochimaru, he's turning into a new leaf, right Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru shot Bakorio a weird look before he smiled creepily and said "Of course, I wouldn't do anything carelessly with you around…"

Nono seemed to relax a little bit when she heard this but Bakorio's eyes suddenly flickered with a dangerous light that only Orochimaru noticed…

'So, my guess is correct huh? interesting' thought Orochimaru silently…

"Nono-san, this is a great opportunity for me to learn under such a legendary ninja and grow stronger, please don't worry, and I will make sure to visit you and the orphanage as much as possible" Said Kabuto all of a sudden prompting Nono to look at him sadly before she said "Fine but I will stay here for a few days"

"That's okay, this place is large enough" said Bakorio as if he owned the place which annoyed Kimimaro who was observing from the side and then he followed by saying "Kimimaro, show them where they can stay, I have something to talk about with Orochimaru"

"Little bastard don't order m-" Kimimaro was about to protest but Orochimaru looked at him and said "Do as he said Kimimaro"

Hearing this, Kimimaro snorted at Bakorio before he gestured at Kabuto and Nono and said "Follow me"

In another hidden room, Orochimaru was facing Bakorio silently before the latter spoke "How did you know I had plans to leave?"

Orochimaru finally showed his genius as he shrugged and said "Your actions seems rushed, like someone rushing against time… I wonder what could be the reason for this? To the point that you gave up on something such as Dust release… Don't try to make it like you really didn't want it, I could see that if not for that girl acting the way she did, she would have already become a corpse by now if Onoki didn't accept, am I correct?"

Bakorio was really surprised by how intelligent this man was 'It seems I'm underestimating the characters of this world too much' thought Bakorio

Orochimaru's guess was right, Bakorio was ready to go into an all-out fight with Iwa for that Jutsu and only changed his mind when he saw that Kurotsuchi seemed to be too important for the future of this world and creating such a strong hatred between Konoha and Iwa would be bad in the long term, plus he felt that Onoki might even sacrifice her.

But the other reason why he decided to give up on that Jutsu is because he had an idea on how it was created… You see Bloodlines allow certain clans to merge two chakra natures to create new effects.

For example, the lava release which Kurotsuchi used. that was a combination of earth and fire, there's also Ice release which is a combination of wind and water, or scorch release which is a combination between fire and wind, and so on…

But this doesn't mean that people without bloodlines can't achieve similar effects. The only difference is that the requirement for them to achieve this is way harder than people with a bloodline as they are required to merge the two different chakra natures manually…

Bakorio, after intensive research and questioning of the third Hokage, learned that merging two chakra natures requires the following steps. First, the ninja has to fully master the two chakra natures, meaning that he could transform his chakra into them seamlessly and effortlessly without much loss, the other thing required is a very strong chakra manipulation mastery so that they can lessen the pressure of dividing their attention into doing multiple tasks.

An example of this is how Hiruzen uses the properties of water to create a flowing river of earth, or how he combines wind with earth to create a dragon head that shoots air-enhanced earth bullets!

He of course didn't achieve a 100% combination as he reached some kind of bottleneck in his training, but this alone made him one of the strongest Kage's that ever graced this world and gained him the title of 'Professor'

As for what dust release is, Bakorio theorized that someone with a very pure bloodline can already merge two chakra natures effortlessly if they use Hiruzen's method to add another chakra nature to the mix… This kind of destructive Jutsu that's a combination of three chakra natures would come to exist!

And in Onoki's case, it was a combination of him naturally having a lava release (Fire + Earth) and his predecessors found a way to add wind to the mix, resulting in the highly destructive dust release…

Bakorio's planned to raise his mastery in the different releases to their highest level, and he believed that he should be able to master these kinds of abilities at that point, especially with his multi-task ability! That's why he was able to let go of his desire to take it by force…

"Orochimaru, I met Jiraiya before I came here to meet you, and there are many things that bothered me from that meeting…" Said Bakorio with a sigh which intrigued Orochimaru since this was the first time he saw this kid put on such an expression

"Oh, you met that old pervert, what did he tell you?" said Orochimaru, and Bakorio decided to tell him and see his reaction, and to his surprise, this guy's face kept twitching the moment he told him about the darkness in the prophecy as well as how the great toad sage lost his future seeing abilities when he tried to look into his future!

"Bakorio, do you have any idea about what this darkness is?" said Orochimaru suddenly to which Bakorio's eyes flashed dangerously… answering Orochimaru's question

"Listen, that power is far beyond us, I suggest to you to never approach it, otherwise it will consume you!" Said Orochimaru with a fearful look as if he actually experienced it which really surprised Bakorio

"What's going on?" Bakorio was really perplexed…
