Although Mizuki was right, he didn't get angry. To a certain extent, Kabuto Yakushi and Mizuki were indeed very similar. Both of them were war orphans with no background. The difference was that Kabuto Yakushi acted as a multi-faceted spy and eventually gained the trust of Orochimaru, which gave him a foundation for shelter and growth. Mizuki gained a lot of benefits with his advanced vision and information advantages.

The civilian ninjas who can get to this point in the cracks are no ordinary people. It is not surprising that similar experiences allow Kabuto Yakushi to roughly guess Mizuki's thoughts.

However, Shuimu didn't want to react too much to the low-key compliment of Yakushi Kabuto's sarcasm. Since he had already extorted a lot of good things, knowing when to stop might bring more benefits. The following conversation was about mutually beneficial transactions. The art of negotiation was to not let the opponent control the topic.

Mizuki looked at the confident Kabuto Yakushi and said, "I admit that these two techniques can be traded, but it is difficult to predict how much help they will bring to me. Since you mentioned ideas and inspiration, the specific value cannot be evaluated according to the effect and power of the ninjutsu. As you said, theoretically, the possibility of me using these two techniques is extremely small..."

"Huh?" His point of view was targeted, and Kabuto Yakushi couldn't think of any good words to refute. If the tangible and visible benefits could not be used as bargaining chips, the value of the ninjutsu would be greatly reduced. As for excuses like providing references, he didn't even get the ninjutsu, so he couldn't explain it clearly with empty words.

"So what do you mean?"

"You must give me some information about these two forbidden techniques so that I can judge their value and then discuss whether the transaction is appropriate."

"That's impossible!" Pharmacist Kabuto flatly refused. "What if you perfect the entire technique based on the information I gave you? If I give you too little, you won't see its value. If I give you too much, I won't feel at ease!"

"Okay, we'll discuss this in detail later when we confirm the transaction method. Now what I want to know is, what do you need?" Shuimu didn't want to dwell on these details and quickly moved on to the next topic. "I don't have any powerful ninjutsu or forbidden techniques here. I'm curious which one you're interested in..."

"I want your soul gathering array and breath-suppressing technique!"

"Breath-concealing technique? You have a really big appetite." Mizuki couldn't help but be surprised at Kabuto Yakushi's intelligence ability. His vision was indeed very accurate. Kabuto Yakushi had expressed his appreciation for this technique when they met last time. This time, he even set his sights on the foundation of Mizuki's ninjutsu.

"Where did you know this technique? I think no one else can do it except me and Haruno Sakura. During the Chunin Exam, Haruno Sakura didn't even show the power of this technique. How did you take a liking to this technique?"

"I also know the requirements to learn Sage Mode," Yakushi Kabuto replied. "Strong physical fitness and a large amount of chakra are the basis for learning. I am not completely ignorant of your body and talent. If you can practice Sage Mode with your conditions, then there will not be so few people who are called 'Sages'!"

"So, you concluded that the Breath-Retention Technique had an effect?"

"I don't know the specific effect of the Breath Containment Technique, but the name of this ninjutsu reveals a lot. Except for those useless names, the names of ninjutsu generally reflect some characteristics of the original ninjutsu. Aren't the three words 'Breath Containment Technique' obvious enough?"

"Ninjutsu to gather energy and refine chakra. Well, you are smart. But what are you going to give in exchange?"

"Aren't Impure World Reincarnation and Reincarnation of the Living Corpse enough?" Yakushi Kabuto asked, "These two techniques are more powerful than your Breath Containment Technique, right?"

"Didn't you hear what I said before?" Shui Mu said unhappily, "If the value of ninjutsu is judged by its power, what else can I talk to you about? When two people use ninjutsu face to face, the winner can just take away all the loser's possessions! And..."

Shuimu looked at the unwilling Pharmacist Dou and said, "You have to understand that you took the initiative to come to me to make a deal. The initiative is in my hands. Whether the deal is successful or not depends on what I want, not what you want to give..."

These unreasonable words left Pharmacist Dou speechless. Fortunately, his face was covered with scars, so his dark face could not be seen clearly.

Mizuki ignored Kabuto Yakushi's reaction and continued, "Although I have accepted the money you paid for your life, you are still in my hands now, and the ninjutsu you promised has not been handed over to me yet, so, in fact, your life is not guaranteed!"

"You want to regret it?"

"That's not true!" Shui Mu denied. "It's not like I regret it now. We are just bargaining. But you said before that I am not a pedantic person. If we can't reach an agreement, lying to the enemy is not considered cheating. It should be called cunning..."

Mizuki's words immediately made Yakushi Kabuto feel a sense of crisis.

After a long silence, Yakushi Kabuto looked up and asked, "What do you want?"

Seeing that Yakushi Kabuto was so cooperative, Shuimu replied with satisfaction: "The value of the Impure World Reincarnation technique will be determined after you give me some information. As for the Non-Corpse Reincarnation technique, I think a very important fundamental problem must be solved before I can recognize its value."

"What's the problem?" Yakushi Kabuto asked in confusion, "Lord Orochimaru has used this technique several times, so there shouldn't be any major hidden dangers!"

"That's your point of view!" Shui Mu said disdainfully, "The process of reincarnation is dangerous, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, but the strong always have many means to avoid this, so as to avoid problems with mental fusion during the transformation process. The final trump card for the comeback is the embodiment of a person's long-lasting obsession. Only with this kind of information in hand can I rest assured to study reincarnation..."

"Obsession? Incarnation?" murmured Kabuto Yakushi.

"That's right. Without this, the Reincarnation of the Dead is just a huge trap. I won't take over this technique."

"But I've never heard that Lord Orochimaru has any problem with this."

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Shui Mu explained patiently, "In my mind, the function of the Breath Containment Technique is equivalent to the technique I just mentioned, plus the value of the Undead Reincarnation and Impure World Reincarnation. If you agree, we can trade. Of course, you'll suffer a little loss in this exchange, but this is also what you should do. Who told you to ask me for something?"

Now, Mizuki has stated his conditions and requirements. It depends on whether Yakushi Kabuto can get what Mizuki wants.
