Although they said they were going to carry out an exploration mission, it wasn't going to be right now.
After all, things were still relatively peaceful among the major ninja villages at the moment. Moreover, the Cloud Hidden Village still had to deal with matters in the Land of Hot Water.
So Chiyama Gekko understood that they definitely wouldn't set off for Sunagakure in the short term.
For now, all of Chiyama Gekko's attention was focused on Orochimaru's laboratory.
The next day, Chiyama Gekko was extremely excited when he came to Orochimaru's house.
After waiting for so long, he could finally explore Orochimaru's real valuables.
"Chiyama-kun, this is my laboratory. Although you can join the experiments now,"
"but remember, don't touch things casually."
Orochimaru's tone lost its original calmness and instead took on a hint of coldness.
Obviously, this laboratory was very important to him.
Even his own apprentice had to be cautious.
Chiyama Gekko nodded repeatedly, promising to be very obedient.
He entered the dim laboratory again.
There were a few more huge containers around, filled with some liquid.
Some animal carcasses were soaking in the liquid.
There were countless bottles and jars of all kinds.
"Chiyama-kun, do you know about the Scroll of Seals?"
Chiyama Gekko nodded.
"Yes, it's the book of forbidden ninjutsu left by the Second Hokage. It's filled with high-difficulty forbidden ninjutsu."
"I'm sure Lord Hokage has also learned some of the ninjutsu in it."
In Konoha, the Scroll of Seals wasn't really completely sealed and off-limits for learning.
Once someone made a huge contribution to Konoha, they could still exchange for the opportunity to learn one of the ninjutsu in it.
A ninja of Orochimaru's level, and being the favorite disciple of the Third Hokage, he definitely had seen the Scroll of Seals.
Orochimaru gave Chiyama Gekko an approving look.
"Yes, I have also learned some of the ninjutsu in it, and more than one."
"Aren't you curious about which ninjutsu I've learned?"
Chiyama Gekko shook his head.
Of course he wasn't curious. It was just Edo Tensei, wasn't it?
Using this jutsu as a medium, Orochimaru developed Living Corpse Reincarnation and truly achieved immortality.
"Hehehe, the jutsu I've learned is indeed a bit mysterious. It's good that you don't want to know."
"Then let me ask you another question, Chiyama-kun. Are you curious about life?"
Not curious at all. Life is all about having a good time.
This was Chiyama Gekko's true thought, but he definitely couldn't say this to Orochimaru. He was afraid of being kicked out.
"Life is very miraculous. It's clearly extremely fragile, but at the same time full of tenacity."
This was the answer that Chiyama Gekko had come up with long ago.
After all, Orochimaru's change in mindset was entirely because he had witnessed too much life and death.
Sure enough, just as Chiyama Gekko had expected, a glint flashed in Orochimaru's pupils when he heard Chiyama Gekko's answer.
Obviously, he was surprised by and in agreement with his answer.
"Very good. You're indeed suitable to stay by my side."
"Come on, Chiyama-kun. Let's start with the most basic dissection."
Orochimaru pointed at the toad corpse beside him and arranged for him to start the beginner's lesson.
Chiyama Gekko looked at the toad on the table. For some reason, a person suddenly popped into his mind.
Snake King Orochimaru. This gloomy environment seems to have become the cellar of Hogwarts.
Alas, life is really full of excitement.
In the following days, Chiyama Gekko perfectly demonstrated what it means to be a hard nut to crack in the scientific community.
When Orochimaru told him to do the dissection, he carried out dismemberment.
When Orochimaru told him to extract blood for observation, he turned into a vampire and directly drew out a liter of blood.
When Orochimaru told him to study biology, he just played chess with Engineer Zhou each day.
Orochimaru...
Orochimaru was rendered speechless. Chiyama Gekko managed to turn such a venomous snake into a mute, setting a record in the ninja world.
Finally, three months later, Orochimaru couldn't take it anymore.
Looking at Chiyama Gekko being pushed out of the door, Orochimaru's eyebrow twitched.
"Chiyama-kun, after much thought, you'd better learn ninjutsu."
"Science doesn't seem to fit you very well..."
"And where is my Kusanagi Sword?"
After all, he was the apprentice he had chosen himself. What else could he do?
Moreover, this apprentice had good natural talent, decent strength, and even had a Kekkei Genkai that could help him understand the genetic structure.
But he was completely clueless about scientific experiments.
Three months had passed, and he hadn't even reached the beginner level.
On the contrary, he lost quite a few experimental subjects, and even a Kusanagi Sword.
Chiyama Gekko looked at the laboratory with great regret. He really wanted to stay longer.
These days, not to mention anything else, how many different potions did he take?
Potions that stimulated chakra flow, potions that stimulated physical recovery, and potions that stimulated mental power growth.
Alas, Orochimaru was just a treasure trove.
Although he was a bit vicious, that was for the future. Right now, in Chiyama Gekko's eyes, Orochimaru was a saint!
He even found several precious swords in the hidden compartment of the laboratory's cabinet.
He recognized at first sight that they were Kusanagi Swords.
He directly took one. The blade was straight and had no tsuba (a Japanese term for the handguard of a sword).
Obviously, it was the one that would be in Sasuke's hands in the future. But since he saw it, there was no reason not to take it.
He directly stuffed it into his bosom.
Because he stole various potions and the Kusanagi Sword from his own teacher, he was very honored to have a significant increase in attributes.
Now, although he was only 15 years old, he had perfectly met the criteria of an elite ninja.

[Ding, reminder. The panel settings are based on the Book of the Nine Gods, with an approximate ratio of 1:10]
Chiyama Gekko was very satisfied with his current situation. Although he still had some subject imbalances, his ninjutsu alone had risen to 80. This made the power of the ninjutsu he unleashed far exceed that of before.
Now, facing being expelled by his own teacher, he showed great grievance.
"Teacher, you can't blame me for this. That Scalpel is completely different from my ninja sword. I meant to cut vertically, but it just ended up going horizontally."
"Alas, how much I wish I could continue the experiment with my teacher!"
"Fine! Teacher, if you need my help in the future, just say the word!"
"With my Kekkei Genkai, even if you want the old Third Hokage's tobacco pipe, I'll steal it for you!"
Orochimaru's mouth twitched as he watched Chiyama Gekko dancing about excitedly. For the first time, he felt that his decision back then was a mistake.
What would he do with the Hokage's tobacco pipe? Hmm?
But Chiyama Gekko's words actually made Orochimaru's heart stir slightly.
