Chapter 9: A Failed Experiment! The Birth of Lightning Release Sage Art!

Chapter 9: A Failed Experiment! The Birth of Lightning Release Sage Art!

Deep in the base, Orochimaru implanted curse seals on all his subjects

Once the test subjects' bodies adapted to the curse seals, they were ordered to undergo targeted training.

During this process, many subjects perished due to the overwhelming power of the curse seals.

Every day, numerous corpses were transported away!

However, those who survived experienced a tremendous increase in strength.

Just as they were reveling in their newfound power, Orochimaru appeared once more.

His expression was cold and his face looked displeased.

"These test subjects are of such poor quality that they are unworthy of becoming my vessels, let alone using the curse seals created by Ishihara!"

Having Ishihara as a comparison naturally raised his standards for vessels.

Looking at these test subjects, he felt that if he truly used the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique to enter their bodies, Ishihara would definitely mock him.

"Trash, all of you should die!"

Below, the lucky survivors were still cheering in excitement.

But in the next moment.

Orochimaru directly activated the curse seals, killing everyone!!!

Suddenly, those people involuntarily transformed, mutated, and even exploded due to the curse seals!

"Ah!!!"

"Damn you, Orochimaru, you broke your promise!"

"I curse you, curse you to die a miserable death, curse you to be betrayed!!"

Countless horrific screams echoed from the depths of the base.

Blood covered the entire underground area, and countless fragmented bodies littered the ground.

But Orochimaru remained unmoved.

"I need more exceptional geniuses!"

Although the first experiment failed, Orochimaru learned his lesson and understood what he needed to do.

During this period of experimentation, he had already completed the development of the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique.

Now, he just needed to find a suitable vessel to achieve his dream of eternal life.

...

"Ah!!!"

Horrific screams echoed from the depths of the base.

The atmosphere in the base grew even darker.

Ishihara, however, was unaffected, diligently reading and researching.

He was holding a scroll of Lightning Release ninjutsu.

He desired the Immortal Techniques for Immortality!

He also sought techniques to protect his path!

The scroll he held contained information on Cloud Village's nin-taijutsu collected by Orochimaru during the war.

"The first step of the Immortal Techniques is to fuse natural energy with the body, transforming it into an immortal body!"

"Cloud Village's nin-taijutsu has similar functions, so perhaps I can start from there!"

The power of nin-taijutsu lies in using Lightning Release to enhance physical fitness and reaction abilities comprehensively.

He attempted to deduce Cloud Village's nin-taijutsu based on the incomplete information.

Traces of Lightning Release chakra began to surge and flicker on his body.

Crackle... crackle...

He could feel some Lightning Release chakra entering his cells.

This was the reason for the significant increase in bodily vitality.

As he continued to adjust.

The Lightning Release chakra on his body increased, making him look like the source of lightning, with lightning continuously splashing from his body.

Heavenly Demon Tattoo!

Buzz—

Suddenly, a large amount of natural energy poured into Ishihara's body, and the lightning grew brighter and more violent.

The dark basement was illuminated brightly.

Ishihara also felt a small amount of natural energy entering his cells along with the Lightning Release chakra.

His bodily vitality soared once again!

[You have read extensive information on Lightning Release ninjutsu and nin-taijutsu, creating the Lightning Release Sage Art: Lightning Instantaneous Body!]

Countless pieces of information surged into his mind.

In an instant, Ishihara comprehended all the principles of the Lightning Instantaneous Body and immediately executed it.

Crackle!!!

Violent lightning erupted from his body, continuously wrapping around him.

Like the God of Thunder!

The terrifying pressure made Jūgo at the door glance over, and the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.

In a flash of lightning, Ishihara had disappeared from his original position.

There was no sign of Ishihara in the entire secret room!

Only the occasional flicker of lightning in the secret room seemed to prove that someone was still there.

But he was invisible to the naked eye!

Gulp!!

Jūgo swallowed hard, filled with astonishment.

"This speed is completely beyond the capture of the naked eye! It's terrifying! What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"

But Ishihara remained calm and stopped, releasing the state.

Then he closed his eyes to carefully perceive his state, feeling pleasantly surprised.

"Not bad, not bad, my physical fitness has improved!"

"This state is like being tempered by lightning, but this time it's not just Lightning Release chakra, but also natural energy! That's why the improvement is so significant!"

Although his body still hadn't shown signs of fusion with natural energy and cells.

Ishihara could feel his body gradually adapting to natural energy.

The true fusion was not far away!

Ishihara felt a bit regretful.

Because this secret technique wasn't very difficult.

It was just too risky, with the slightest mistake leading to the body being eroded by natural energy. Besides him and Jūgo, no one else could master it!

Glancing at Jūgo at the door, he casually wrote down the Lightning Instantaneous Body technique and threw it over.

"Master this secret technique as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, Master Ishihara!"

Jūgo respectfully received the scroll, nodding solemnly.

He wanted to be Ishihara's right-hand man, to be useful to him.

But seeing Ishihara's strength grow stronger and stronger, he felt he couldn't help at all, which made him a bit despondent.

Now that the opportunity had come, he naturally had to seize it firmly.

...

"Teacher, are you leaving the base for a while?"

Ishihara looked at Orochimaru in surprise.

Orochimaru, looking somewhat weary, nodded. The recent experiments had exhausted him mentally and physically.

"Yes, these test subjects' talents are too poor. I need more exceptional geniuses!"

Ishihara raised an eyebrow.

Could this be the reason Orochimaru became a human trafficker?

If he remembered correctly, Orochimaru should encounter the Akatsuki organization soon.

But he had no interest in joining the Akatsuki.

Not to mention that his current strength was insufficient and couldn't be exposed.

After joining the Akatsuki, there were still many troublesome matters, and the help he received wasn't very significant.

As for the Tailed Beasts and the Rinnegan, he could seek opportunities for those later.

For now, he needed Orochimaru to keep going and avoid any trouble.

After some thought, Ishihara took out several scrolls and handed them to Orochimaru.

"Master, these are some secret techniques I've recently developed. They might be of some help to you!"
