Chapter 184: Orochimaru Wants to Contract the Fourth Rashomon Too

Being able to swallow four of these things directly, coupled with that heaven-defying effect, was practically four life-saving opportunities in moments of crisis.

“Mn, just accept it. I really don’t lack them.”

Uchiha Gen pushed the medicine box back into Mikoto’s hands.

“Remember, these things are rare in number and meant for you to save your life. For now, it’s still best not to leak it out, nor should you privately distribute them to others.”

Mikoto dazedly took back the medicine box and nodded heavily toward Uchiha Gen.

After bidding farewell to Mikoto, Uchiha Gen walked all the way through the encampment and found Orochimaru.

At this moment, Orochimaru was gesturing with a map in hand, explaining the mission to several Konoha Shinobi.

“Remember, for your mission, gathering intelligence is secondary. The true requirement is to startle the snake and cause interference in Kumogakure’s judgment regarding our scouting focus and troop concentration points—that is the core of your mission.

Once it is completed, intelligence personnel from the Root will meet up with you and tell you other relevant intelligence. By then, Black Sickle Jonin, you must judge how to act on your own.”

A middle-aged Jonin heading this team nodded steadily toward Orochimaru.

“Understood, Lord Orochimaru.”

After taking the mission, Black Sickle Jonin brought his squad members to greet Uchiha Gen, and then set off without stopping to execute the mission.

“Something the matter?”

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Gen, who had walked into the tent and listened from the side, holding the map he hadn’t had time to put down yet, and asked.

“Good news.”

Uchiha Gen smiled slightly at Orochimaru and took out the medicine box.

The latter took the medicine box, looked up at Uchiha Gen, and then opened the small box.

Inside were placed two bottles. Uncovering one of them and pouring it out revealed five round, white-with-a-flush-of-red pills.

“Another new Military Rations Pill?”

Orochimaru pinched one of the Military Rations Pills and sniffed its scent with his nose.

He had also tasted Uchiha Gen’s previous imitation of the replica system’s premium Military Rations Pill, and his evaluation of it was very high.

Although it was two points inferior to the Nara Clan’s Military Rations Pills in terms of medicinal potency and had greater side effects, it also possessed a certain ability to regulate injuries.

Among all Military Rations Pills in the Shinobi World, this was one of a kind. Based on this point alone, the value of his Military Rations Pills would not be lower than those of the Nara Clan.

This was already a top-quality Military Rations Pill in the Shinobi World.

Regarding this, Orochimaru could only attribute it to Uchiha Gen’s talent in medical Ninjutsu. In the area of pharmacology, along with the accumulation of time, he further displayed his extraordinary talent, enabling him to invent a brand-new Military Rations Pill recipe.

Using medicinal properties to stimulate human Chakra to activate Yang Release and strengthen self-healing abilities—in anyone’s eyes, this was an incomparably genius idea. It differed vastly from all mainstream Military Rations Pill recipe conceptions in the Shinobi World, making it almost an epoch-making creation.

And now that Uchiha Gen took out these Military Rations Pills, it could only mean one thing: he believed that this time’s Military Rations Pills had achieved another breakthrough compared to the previous one.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru was slightly surprised, but more than that, he felt anticipation.

His disciple, just like him, was a super genius hard to find among hundreds of millions, one who couldn’t be produced in many years. And in Orochimaru’s view, Uchiha Gen’s natural talent was even a tier stronger than his own back then.

“Correct, Teacher Orochimaru, you can take a few pieces to Rashomon Canyon to experiment. However, it’s best not to take more than four consecutively.”

What does taking more than four consecutively mean?

What does going to Rashomon Canyon to experiment mean?

Does Uchiha Gen think this Military Rations Pill has the ability to help him contract the fourth Rashomon?

Then can it be assumed—

“Have you already relied on this Military Rations Pill to contract the fourth Rashomon?”

Orochimaru’s pair of snake pupils kept sizing up Uchiha Gen as he asked.

“Yes, Teacher Orochimaru, so I think you can too.”

Orochimaru’s near-completion Snake Body Modification and Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique were enough to weaken the impact brought by the shockwaves by several tiers. Meanwhile, the Yang Release healing ability of the four pills was enough to enhance his endurance and suppress the erosion of external Yin Release Chakra.

The only difficulty was that Orochimaru did not have a Sharingan, and this Military Rations Pill didn’t have the effect of purifying negative states. The mental interference of those Yin Release Chakras could only be resisted by Orochimaru himself.

However, regarding this point, Uchiha Gen still had enough confidence in his teacher.

Every orthodox Kage-level expert like Orochimaru, who went from weak to strong and walked out of the sea of corpses and mountains of blood in wars, had a mind and will that could match their power, which those who took shortcuts could not compare to.

At least the current Orochimaru had not yet embarked on the path of darkening, and his soul had not yet been weakened by Living Corpse Reincarnation. It was entirely possible to withstand these interferences.

Orochimaru, just like Uchiha Gen before, scraped a bit of the Military Rations Pill’s crumbs with his fingernails and put it into his mouth. After a short while, his somewhat pale complexion suddenly turned rosy, and his eyes bloomed with an inexplicable color.

This medicinal effect was too astonishing!

Even though he already had psychological expectations beforehand, Orochimaru was still shocked.

“No wonder you wanted those medicinal materials. It seems you already had a draft of the medicinal properties and recipe for this new-style Military Rations Pill beforehand, but you couldn’t practice and manufacture it due to the precious materials.

The surprise you mentioned before must be this Military Rations Pill and the fourth Rashomon.”

Orochimaru solemnly put away the medicine box, looked at Uchiha Gen, and asked.

“Mn.”

Uchiha Gen naturally nodded.

Although what truly brought about the change was Uzumaki Karin’s Uzumaki body, and these things were merely derived from it, they could indeed greatly enhance the fault tolerance rate on the battlefield and strengthen one’s power.

This would not only help him, but also provide considerable help to Orochimaru.

“I will go try it, just in time to have two more trump cards before the decisive battle of pulling the net in three days. With these two, you should be completely safe against the Third Raikage.”

“Pulling the net in three days?”

“Mn, tonight I will go to Rashomon Canyon to give it a try. If I get injured, then starting from tonight, you will still be responsible for the daily management of the camp affairs. Don’t worry about pulling the net; senior Nara Rukawa has always been my deputy before and knows the entire process of the strategic arrangement. If you need to make a move, he will notify you.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Uchiha Gen nodded toward Orochimaru and said.

He had previously managed such matters for Orochimaru as well.

Throughout the entire camp, Orochimaru was an irreplaceable role. Nara Rukawa had seniority, but his strength was a tier lower. Uchiha Gen’s strength was barely enough, but he was a rising star, still lacking the accumulation of time in terms of seniority and prestige. Only by joining forces could the two of them keep people in check and keep things running smoothly.
