Chapter 254 The Beginning of the Intelligence Network
"Isn't Silangjun training? How come you have time to look for me?"
Seeing the voice of Orochimaru coming from the summoned snake in front of him, Shiro was not too surprised and said, "Isn't this an enemy? It seems that he has some connection with you, Orochimaru-senpai, and wants to communicate with you?"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Look, that guy over there, Senjutsu Chakra just appeared on his body, but I've sealed it now. Will killing him have any effect on Orochimaru-senpai?"
"Well, it's okay, just kill him. The medicine has been analyzed almost completely, but Shilang-kun probably meant more than just this, right?"
If Shiro really wanted to do this, he would just need to let the gray snake pass a message, and there would be no need to explain that it was a contact. Based on Orochimaru's past experience, he should want to make a deal with him again.
Orochimaru was quite curious about this, because in previous contacts, he found that Shiro seemed a little afraid of him, and they had only conducted two transactions so far.
Even though they verbally agreed on a partnership after the second time, Shiro never came to find him. He even guessed that if he had not expressed his desire to be Hokage, Shiro might not have done business with him.
However, this was not the first time he had been frightened for no reason, so he was not too concerned about it. He was curious about what Shilang would trade with him this time.
"As expected of you, Senior Orochimaru. I do want to make a deal with you."
"Oh? I wonder what Shiro-kun wants to trade?" Orochimaru was not impressed at all by Shiro's flattery.
Although he didn't have much interaction with Shiro, he got to know Shiro's character through occasional gatherings with Kushina and the others. This guy was just flattering casually. If you really asked him why he was so worthy of it, he would definitely be confused.
Therefore, Orochimaru went straight to the point. He also wanted to know what Shiro wanted to trade with him. He didn't believe that Shiro's magic was limited to those few.
If he could get it, it would be of great help to his research, but he couldn't think of what Shiro would need, so he never had the chance to trade with Shiro.
As for robbing?
The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he gave it up.
First of all, his goal is to become Hokage, so naturally the more talented people in the village the better. The more support he gives them, the better it will be for him to compete for the Hokage.
Secondly, this is knowledge, which is different from bloodline. The risk of robbing it is too great. Ninjas have countless ways to obtain information from the bodies of the dead.
But don't forget, destruction is always the easiest, and forcing it will only backfire.
Moreover, even if he was caught and forced to confess, he could not be sure that what he got was true. This kind of knowledge, especially something he had not been exposed to much, would require him to take many detours just to make a slight change.
Therefore, in this situation, trading is the best option, and only fools would kill and rob.
"I heard him say that he bought the medicine from a religion called the Eternal Snake. Was that the one founded by Orochimaru-senpai?"
"Indeed, Shirou-kun should also be familiar with the base of engraving magic."
"Well, I know that, but I wonder if Orochimaru-senpai is interested in immortality?"
"Heh, Silang-kun looks much more confident. It seems your strength has indeed increased. Tell me, what do you want to trade?"
"Senior Orochimaru, thank you for your compliment. I would like to trade information with you. Information related to talent, preferably intelligence gathering."
The snake carrying Orochimaru's will narrowed its eyes and did not rush to answer Shiro. Instead, it asked: "Shiro-kun, do you want to form your own power?"
"Of course not, please don't misunderstand me, Senior Orochimaru. I just want to build my own intelligence network. After all, some things are not convenient to use him, right?"
"I see. I have some information here. If I train him a little, he can still take on important tasks. I just don't know what kind of magic Shilang-kun is using in exchange?"
"The last time I saw you perform magic, Orochimaru-senpai, you used water attributes, right?"
"That's right."
"That's good. The magic I used for exchange seems to be of water attribute. It can prolong life by exchanging bodies. As long as you can ensure mental stability, you can achieve another kind of immortality. Someone once used this ninjutsu to live for more than 500 years."
"This should be helpful to Orochimaru-senpai, right?"
What Shiro was talking about was naturally Zouken's insect magic. Of course, insect magic was not of water attribute, but Shiro didn't know how far Orochimaru's research had reached, so he could only say it this way to make it easier for him to understand.
Anyway, he can practice it, so just tell him when the time comes. Besides, Shilang guessed that he would not practice this magic, but integrate the parts he thought were useful into his own system.
After all, no matter what, this magic was given by Shiro, and it was impossible for him to have complete trust in Shiro, especially when he might know less about magic than Shiro.
"Exchange bodies? Interesting. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation, Shiro-kun." After that, he began to give Shiro a general introduction to the information.
"That person has the ability to communicate with birds, and can communicate with various birds, even without signing a communication contract. I will give Silangjun a specific training plan later, you can refer to it."
"Is that so? Thank you, Orochimaru-senpai. Here is the relevant information about this magic. By the way, Orochimaru-senpai, this magic is probably not water-attributed. I don't know the details because I'm still learning."
"It's okay, Silang-jun is thoughtful."
"It should be."
Afterwards, the two exchanged scrolls. Although Shiro had seen the gray snake vomit several times before, he was still not used to it and still felt disgusted.
Therefore, he waited until the gray snake and Orochimaru's clone left together before wiping the scroll and putting it in his pocket. Now was not the time to look at this, so he had to collect the money first.
Then, Shiro raised his head and looked at the ninja who had woken up from Shiro's suggestion magic and was terrified.
"Haha, I have money and I can work for you. I know a lot of intelligence channels. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Shilang looked at him begging for mercy in a desperate situation and felt that he was completely different from the one he had been fighting with before. However, Shilang did not think that it was because he was afraid of death.
If he was afraid of death, he would not have taken this path.
Shiro estimated that his condition was most likely caused by the drug that gave him senjutsu chakra. Senjutsu is not so easy to master, especially defective senjutsu.
Therefore, after seeing him, Shilang became even less interested in magic. If he succeeded, it would be fine, but if he failed, even if he used some means to survive, he would probably end up like him.
The side effects of this defective magic are too great, which is probably one of the reasons why Orochimaru does not use the curse seal.
