Chapter 125: Invitation to Be an Assistant

Hearing that Kamishiro had independently researched and created Kanna using the core science and technology materials he had discarded, Orochimaru thought that Kamishiro was a scientific research genius.

Of course, he was no match for Orochimaru himself. After all, Kamishiro had borrowed and utilized his science and technology materials, while everything Orochimaru had achieved so far was through his own painstaking exploration.

However, this didn't prevent Orochimaru from having a bit of appreciation for Kamishiro now.

Being able to independently understand his science and technology materials was already quite remarkable. After all, in Orochimaru's eyes, all the technology in this ninja world was extremely backward.

Orochimaru commented on Kamishiro's Kanna, "This puppet of yours is really well-made. I have to say, it's very innovative. It fully showcases your characteristics as a Magnet Release ninja, combining Magnet Release with the puppet."

Hearing Orochimaru's comment, Kamishiro's chest puffed out slightly, and a proud expression involuntarily appeared on his face.

Compared to the praises from those who didn't understand, like Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Obito, Orochimaru's praise made Kamishiro even happier and felt more valuable.

"However..." Orochimaru changed the subject, "There are also many problems with it. Your idea of using the converted Lightning Bolt to power the puppet and enable it to act independently without your control is indeed good. But the electric power system inside the puppet is very backward, and the conversion efficiency is very low.

The driving device and control device are also poor and can't bring out the characteristics of your puppet. Moreover, you haven't completely eliminated the influence of magnetism on these devices, so there's a high possibility of malfunctions.

If you were to manually control the puppet, it would still be quite excellent. But if you want it to act independently, there are too many flaws in the core components. It won't work."

Orochimaru's words made Kamishiro's puffed-out chest slowly sink back down.

Kamishiro murmured softly, "The time was too tight. If I had more time, I'm sure I could make Kanna more perfect."

Kamishiro's words, "If I had more time," made Orochimaru's eyes glaze over for a moment.

Time...

During the Second Ninja World War, the death of his disciple Nawaki, the death of Tsunade's boyfriend Dan Kato, and the lives lost in the war made him feel the fragility of life.

So he came up with the idea of mastering all ninjutsu to change the ninja world. But... human energy is always limited.

In this limited time, he couldn't achieve this. So he pursued immortality, hoping to find a way to make life eternal through scientific research, so as to overcome the limitations of life and maximize his personal value.

Orochimaru stared at Kamishiro and asked, "You're Kamishiro, right? This war won't last much longer. After the war is over, are you interested in being my assistant?"

Kamishiro immediately showed a great deal of interest. If he became Orochimaru's assistant, he would surely learn a lot of knowledge.

But Kamishiro quickly calmed down.

Orochimaru conducts a wide range of research. What he wants to learn doesn't really involve the human body. Orochimaru is very knowledgeable in mechanics, but his main focus is on the human body.

Moreover, Orochimaru doesn't seem easy to get along with. What if something goes wrong during the experiment and he uses Kamishiro as an experimental material?

No way, it's too dangerous. He isn't after power. His research on puppets is mostly out of interest. There's no need to risk his life.

Kamishiro forced a smile and remarked, "I'm really honored that Lord Orochimaru has taken a fancy to me, but let's wait until the war is over. Right now, I'd rather defeat Chiyo."

Orochimaru looked at Kamishiro thoughtfully.

At first, when Kamishiro heard the offer to be his assistant, he showed a very eager expression. However, he immediately looked wary afterwards.

Is he wary of him...

Why would he be wary of him? The experiments he has conducted are unknown to anyone. In everyone's eyes, he's a hero fighting for Konoha.

Although he may seem difficult to get along with, if that were the only reason, Kamishiro wouldn't have rambled on and on to him like that.

Orochimaru could sense that when Kamishiro was talking to him about his puppets, it was as if he'd found a kindred spirit to confide in and hoped to get his approval.

In that case, when he invited Kamishiro to be his assistant, Kamishiro should have agreed right away.

Kamishiro clearly rejected him with his words.

Given Orochimaru's personality, once someone rejects him, he will never mention it again.

Because there's only one chance. If you don't seize it, he doesn't have the patience to give a second one.

However, Orochimaru thought there must be a reason for Kamishiro to be wary of him. It couldn't be unfounded.

So... Kamishiro must know something that makes him wary.

His forbidden experiments are very secret. There's no way Kamishiro could know about them. So what could be the reason?

Now, cold sweat broke out on Kamishiro's forehead. That feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake came back again.

Did he say something wrong just now?

In Kamishiro's unease, Orochimaru spoke again, "In that case, let's talk about it after the war. Although I still don't think you can defeat Chiyo, with your puppet and your Magnet Ninja Art, you barely have the qualification to engage in The Battle with her.

If there's news about Chiyo's movements, I'll let you know. Well, I have other things to do. That's it."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

After leaving the command room, Kamishiro let out a long sigh. He wiped his forehead and found it was covered in cold sweat.

The pressure Orochimaru put on him was just too much.

Among the Sannin, except for the time when Tsunade beat him previously, Tsunade and Jiraiya were easy to get along with. Orochimaru, on the other hand, was a real pressure cooker. He exuded a strong sense of oppression from the moment they met.

As for dealing with Chiyo, Kamishiro only said he would take on Chiyo, not that he would kill her.

Although Kamishiro was confident in his Kanna, when it came to fighting someone as cunning and battle - experienced as Chiyo, the advantages of having Kanna and Magnet Release weren't sufficient.

Kamishiro was quite aware of this.

So, from the start, Kamishiro never thought he could kill Chiyo. Apart from testing Kanna's abilities through The Battle with Chiyo's Puppets, he considered it a victory if he could slap Chiyo in the face and then make a quick escape.

Guided by the camp ninjas, Kamishiro reached the assigned tent.

Lying on the ground, Kamishiro tossed and turned, feeling that Sunagakure Village had spread so many rumors about him, and Chiyo had protected her grandson Sasori, the real culprit, while treating him as a scapegoat and even putting out a wanted notice for him. One slap wasn't nearly enough!

What's more, he might not even manage to land that slap.

Suddenly, a really wicked The Plan popped into Kamishiro's mind. He suddenly sat up from the ground and cackled sinisterly.

"Old bag, I'm gonna ruin your reputation in your twilight years!"
