Chapter 1: Perfect Experiment

New Series! Hope you guys like it more than the P2W!

...

In the Land of Grass.

The moon shone brightly in the night.

Moonlight spilled over, illuminating the ground and revealing a pitch-black cave entrance. Muffled explosions echoed from within the cave.

Crack!

The mountain side suddenly split open!

Countless rocks flew about as the entire mountain seemed ready to collapse!

A long-haired man flew out from among the rubble, his gaze fixed on the crumbling mountain side, hands rapidly forming ninja hand signs.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

The smoke of the summoning jutsu spread.

A brown giant snake was summoned.

Before the giant snake could react, a nimble young man suddenly leaped out from the mountain side, his fist smashing into the snake's head!

The punch was strong and forceful!

The giant snake had just been summoned and in a few seconds, was struck by the sudden blow to its head, receiving a fatal injury, turning back into smoke.

However, in that short time...

It was enough for the summoner to land in a safe place.

The long-haired man stood on the ground, utterly indifferent to the fate of the summoned creature, only looking up at the faintly glowing figure, licking his lips with his tongue.

"The greatest creation... has been born..."

His eyes full of greed, as if peering through the smoke, looking at the world's most precious treasure: "Such vast amounts of chakra..."

This is...

The experimental subject that can perfectly integrate with Hashirama cells!

The smoke slowly dissipated.

A black-haired, bare-chested young man landed on the ground.

This young man was very handsome, perhaps most people would feel an instant affection upon seeing him, but the aura emanating from the boy was not to be ignored.

Such immense chakra!

Few in the ninja world could match this!

The young man looked at the long-haired man in front of him, curiously tilting his head, his eyes as clear and innocent as a newborn's.

"Who are you?"

The young man's voice sounded somewhat naive.

The long-haired man was sinisterly handsome, with eyes like the vertical pupils of a snake, and his body exuded a cold, serpentine aura.

In the entire Ninja World, only one person could exude this, and that is Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!

"Hmm?"

Orochimaru, upon hearing the young man's question, frowned, his voice hoarse: "It seems the experiment is still somewhat problematic. Have there been problems with brain cells?"

...

The young man tilted his head, and the intimidating aura around him slowly dissipated.

"Akihara Kagura."

Orochimaru called out the young man's name.

However, this name seemed to suddenly alert the young man!

The ground beneath the boy's feet cracked open abruptly. Using the acceleration of stepping on the ground, he extended his hand towards Orochimaru's head!

A wooden spike emerged from the palm of the young man! The attack was so sudden! In a split second!

The wooden spike was about to pierce through Orochimaru's head!

Orochimaru hastily raised his fingers, and a series of black curse marks quickly appeared all over the young man's body, immobilizing him completely! The Binding Curse Mark!

By embedding the curse marks in the target's body beforehand, they are activated at crucial moments to immobilize the target with binding curse jutsu!

To avoid potential accidents, Orochimaru had prepared the Binding Curse Marks in the young man's body in advance, but still felt the recent incident was perilously close...

Now, having controlled the young man's movements, Orochimaru's mood finally began to calm down, and a sinister smile reappeared on his face.

"It seems it still works..."

Boom! The next moment! The young man's chakra burst forth again!

Just the eruption of chakra alone created a terrifyingly oppressive sensation!

The curse marks, under the impact of powerful chakra, began to slowly dissolve, and the Binding Curse Marks on the young man were gradually breaking apart...

Orochimaru quickly retreated!

The young man, relying on the burst of chakra, released the curse marks on himself, glanced at the distance between him and Orochimaru, and the confusion in his eyes began to slowly fade.

"Lord Orochimaru?"

The boy seemed to have regained consciousness, hanging an uneasy and apologetic expression: "I apologize, Lord Orochimaru, I just lost control of my body and couldn't control my actions. Fortunately, you used the Curse Seal to control my body…"

"This is normal," Orochimaru felt the boy had returned to normal, slowly nodded, a smile returning to his face, explaining: "Many subjects of Hashirama cell transplant experiments will have these sequels, at least you survived... How do you feel?"

"Better than ever," the boy extended his arms, feeling the strength in his fists: "Very strong physically, abundant in chakra, and significantly enhanced sensory abilities..."

"But..."

"There is something odd about my Kekkei Genkai..."

The boy stretched out his palm, and a wooden spike emerged from the center of it: "This power is very strong, I don't even need to do much to use it..."

"That's just a trivial part of the Kekkei Genkai's power," Orochimaru looked at the wooden spike in the boy's palm, his smile growing wider: "I will teach you more powerful Wood Release techniques."

"Do I still need to learn?" the boy asked somewhat aggrievedly in a soft voice: "Lord Orochimaru... I thought after the experiment was successful, you would use Living Corpse Reincarnation to make my body the new vessel."

"It's not time yet," Orochimaru's expression was somewhat meaningful.

Living Corpse Reincarnation is a technique of immortality created by Orochimaru himself.

Through spirit transference, it takes over another's body, achieving immortality and even gaining the body's strength and knowledge.

Orochimaru has undergone Living Corpse Reincarnation twice, the first time purely for experiment, choosing a relatively compatible body.

The second reincarnation was because the body of the woman he's currently using is very compatible with his soul, able to fully unleash his power.

According to Orochimaru's calculations, this woman's body can still be used for several years; discarding it would be too wasteful.

Such compatible bodies are 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 that when he takes over the boy's body in the future, Orochimaru can gain additional knowledge.

Orochimaru prefers a finished product over a semi-finished one.

As for whether the young boy will betray him after becoming powerful, Orochimaru is not worried about this, as he has watched the boy grow up from a young age.

This little guy is named Akihara Kagura, an orphan.

Orochimaru understands these children abandoned by the world very well.

As long as you give them a bit of warmth, they will flock to it like moths, even if it means throwing themselves into the fire, they won't choose to leave.

The young Akihara Kagura, theoretically, should be the same.

Although reality is quite absurd; Akihara Kagura is an exception. The system alert sounds in the boy's mind, reminding him of the fact that he is a Transmigrator.
