In the past two days, apart from treating the wounded in the medical department, Yue Yan spent the rest of the time familiarizing himself with his newly acquired abilities and developing some new moves.
On this day, just as Yue Yan finished his work at the medical department, Orochimaru came to him.
"Huh? Haven't I seen this somewhere before?"
Orochimaru ignored Yue Yan's muttering and got straight to the point. "Yue Yan - kun, how far have you gotten with the books I gave you?"
The day after they met, Orochimaru gave Yue Yan several books he had written himself, similar to basic science textbooks.
"I've finished reading them all."
Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up. He asked Yue Yan a few Mondai, and Yue Yan answered them very smoothly.
Thanks to his previous life's knowledge, and since Orochimaru gave him the most basic scientific knowledge, it was easy for Yue Yan to learn.
There was even some knowledge that Orochimaru had imagined but hadn't had time to experiment with, yet it was already a well - established system in Yue Yan's previous life. Although Yue Yan only knew a little, it still surprised Orochimaru.
How long had it been? Orochimaru couldn't remember when he last hoped to find someone who, like himself, was curious about the truth of the world.
"Hehehe, Yue Yan - kun, you've really given me a lot of surprises."
Orochimaru took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
"As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, you can completely leave this work here to your kage clone. You yourself should engage in some more valuable undertakings."
Seeing Yue Yan blinking in confusion, Orochimaru didn't say much. He motioned for Yue Yan to follow and then turned to leave.
In a dimly - lit and hidden laboratory, a small snake slithered into an open space. Then its abdomen began to swell continuously. When it reached the critical point, the small snake's abdomen suddenly burst open, and a larger snake emerged from it.
Then this larger snake did the same as the small one before. Its abdomen swelled, and an even larger snake crawled out of it.
This process repeated, and finally, a giant python was left. Then the giant python's abdomen also began to swell. However, this time it didn't burst. Instead, the python opened its mouth wide, and a pale arm covered in mucus stretched out. Then Orochimaru climbed out.
Yue Yan followed behind.
This move was a snake - based teleportation ninjutsu that Orochimaru created by referring to the Flying Thunder God Technique. It wasn't very fast, but it had the advantage of unlimited distance, though it required a large number of snakes.
But this wasn't a problem. In the Ryuchi Cave, these snakes without spiritual intelligence were just consumables, and there were as many as you needed.
Although Yue Yan had seen Orochimaru use this move in the original story and thought it was disgusting at that time, after experiencing it himself, he found it even more disgusting, especially the stinky mucus sticking to his body.
Seeing Yue Yan shaking off the mucus on his body disgustedly, Orochimaru let out a couple of chuckles.
Hearing this, Yue Yan rolled his eyes.
"I don't really care. However, when I go back, please give me a bit more water for bathing, Lord Orochimaru. I need to wash off this stench."
"Of course, no problem."
During the war, to prevent the enemy from poisoning the water supply, water resources were allocated to each person according to a quota. It was quite scarce, but for Orochimaru, getting a bit more water for bathing was a piece of cake. Although Orochimaru was a pervert, as the so - called Cold Lord, he really hated the feeling of having a stinky body.
"This is my temporarily built laboratory. Although the facilities are not complete, it's still sufficient for some specific experiments."
As he spoke, Orochimaru began to introduce this laboratory to Yue Yan.
The research topic here was the Kekkei Genkai. Coincidentally, there were many ninjas with bloodline limits in the Land of Water, so it was quite easy to get the necessary materials.
"This is my recent experiment log. Lord Yue Yan, you can take a look."
Yue Yan took it and started flipping through it. It has to be said that in the field of scientific research, Orochimaru is really a rare talent. He has a natural gift for research and an insatiable desire to explore the truth of the world. Moreover, he is very meticulous and can think of many problems that one might overlook. Even those fleeting inspirations without a complete experimental principle, he clarifies every detail. Among them, there are many records related to human experiments.
Orochimaru just quietly watched Yue Yan flipping through the experiment logs.
Although Orochimaru already knew that Yue Yan was also talented in science, he deeply understood that some people were not of the same kind as him.
Take Tsunade for example. As the so - called number one in the Mystical Palm Technique in the ninja world, she knew more than Orochimaru in some aspects. But why didn't Orochimaru invite Tsunade to do experiments with him? It was because Tsunade's principle was to heal the wounded and rescue the dying. If she is asked to conduct research to save more people, Tsunade might agree. But if it's just for the sake of exploring the truth of the world, Tsunade would directly refuse.
To put it in a phrase that's very characteristic of Tsunade, "What the hell does knowing so much matter to me? I'd rather hit the casino."
This was why Orochimaru showed these experiment logs to Yue Yan. If Yue Yan was of the same kind as him, Orochimaru would be very pleasantly surprised and would invite Yue Yan to conduct research with him. But if Yue Yan was not of the same kind, Orochimaru would also give up decisively. After all, people with different goals can't work together.
As for Yue Yan knowing that Orochimaru conducted human experiments, it's not a
He used ninjas from other villages for experiments, not ninjas from his own village. Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, wasn't a stranger to such things either. Naturally, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't say much.
After Yue Yan finished reading these experiment logs, he nodded calmly.
Seeing Yue Yan's reaction, Orochimaru guessed something. He held back his excitement and asked Yue Yan with a smile.
"Mr. Yue Yan, after reading my experiment logs, what do you think?"
"Thoughts?" Yue Yan stroked his chin. "There are too few experimental subjects, so the results lack universality. After all, it's not uncommon for some results to only appear in specific individuals."
"Hee hee hee, heh heh heh, ha ha ha."
Hearing Yue Yan's words, Orochimaru grinned widely. His smile was extremely exaggerated and terrifying. Outside, it would definitely be the kind that could stop a crying child at night.
"Mr. Yue Yan, as a doctor, don't you think the cruelty of my human experiments is unacceptable?"
Orochimaru didn't care about his current appearance at all. His yellowish snake eyes stared fixedly at Yue Yan, waiting for his answer.
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged nonchalantly.
"As Lord Orochimaru said, I'm a doctor. But some data from human experiments are exactly what doctors need. This will allow us to save more people. If Lord Orochimaru is trying to test my acceptance of human experiments, there's absolutely no need. Although I'm not a bad person, I can't exactly be called a good person either."
As he spoke, Yue Yan paused for a moment.
"However, I have my bottom line. Human experiments are okay, but they can't involve our fellow villagers."
