If Mizuki was relatively calm when he learned that he had taken in another little girl of unknown origin, his jaw almost dropped when he learned that Orochimaru had come to him and proposed a deal.

"Could it be that I have done too many good things recently, and luck is beginning to favor me?"

"Don't even think about it. If someone finds out, you'll be accused of colluding with a traitor and having bad intentions. Orochimaru's hatred is too high, and getting too deeply involved won't be a good thing!"

Don't think that no one will know if no one tells you. If you use the Impure World Reincarnation, then your collusion with Orochimaru will definitely be exposed.

"We can't just refuse. The deal must go ahead. There's nothing to discuss. Otherwise, we won't be able to solve the problem we're facing now."

No matter what method is used to eliminate the disadvantages brought by the Sage Mode, it seems that the Eight-Headed Technique cannot be circumvented. Without a reliable spiritual core, if you act recklessly, the harm caused may be greater than the erosion of natural energy.

"It has to be exchanged, but I didn't expect Kabuto Yakushi to be so useless. The target of the transaction has changed to Orochimaru, who is much harder to fool than Kabuto Yakushi!"

You know, in the ending of the original novel, almost all the villains died, but this mastermind who had been jumping around from the very beginning was successfully cleared of all charges and survived. Facing such a powerful character, Shuimu didn't dare to underestimate him at all.

The problem now is that it is difficult to grasp the scale of cooperation and exchange. The Eight-Headed Art is definitely needed, but Shuimu does not want to turn himself into a multi-headed snake, but just wants to know the secret art and method of concentrating the spirit. How much does it cost to get this art? This is the key consideration.

"What Orochimaru said actually makes sense. As long as the key point is pointed out, the actual means of realization will not be difficult for Orochimaru. It is very likely that he will come up with a more effective experimental method than us in a short time. Just like the Eight-Headed Technique that we desire, perhaps just an abstract hint can make us suddenly enlightened! Compared with the content of the transaction, I think the transaction method is more important."

In the deal with Kabuto Yakushi, Mizuki used his strength to suppress him so that he dared not play any tricks. However, when facing Orochimaru, Mizuki may not have such confidence.

"The value of the items being traded is actually very easy to judge. It should be impossible for us to commit fraud. It is too difficult to deceive a knowledgeable researcher. What we need to do is to make Orochimaru feel at ease to trade with us. Seriously speaking, we need this transaction to succeed more than Orochimaru does. Orochimaru still has a way out. Even without our research results, it will not affect his established strategy. We can't do that. Without the Sage Mode, the troubles we caused in the past could cost lives!"

This kind of reality is really a headache. I should have kept a low profile earlier. But fortunately, there is still time and enough opportunities to make up for it.

"That's it for now. We'll deal with it as it happens. We'll talk about it when Pharmacist Kabuto comes to visit us."

Mizuki pressed his temple and said with a headache.

"What about the fishing fires? It's really too exaggerated to start a war as you said..."

It would take too long to just use medical ninjutsu to remove the abnormal tissues in the body bit by bit, and then use medical ninjutsu to slowly repair the body. Mizuki didn't have the time to do these trivial things, so it would be better to explain the situation and hand it over to Tsunade, letting her pay for the damage caused by the third generation's careless policies.

"It's not right to just send her away. We clearly agreed to bring her here for her treatment. Now you think it's troublesome and want to send her away without doing anything?"

"Really? What kind of promises are you making?"

Mizuki was in a dilemma, not just because of integrity. After handing it over to Tsunade, it might expose the fact that Mizuki had a secret base, which would obviously make the village even more worried about him. It seemed like he was walking on the same old path as Orochimaru.

"Apart from the abnormality of this fishing fire, is there anything else worth paying attention to?"

"He has the talent of a ninja. His chakra water attribute is very good. He also has a certain potential for wind attribute. His body cells have good compatibility and plasticity. No wonder he was able to survive the cruel experiment. There is nothing unusual after so many years!"

The little girl's wish is to restore her body to that of a human being, instead of the current state where she could turn into a monster at any time.

The request was not excessive, but the problem was that Shuimu's methods were too overbearing, and the consequences of using them on ordinary people were unpredictable. Not only were the problems physical, but they were also more psychological.

"Heal her!" Mizuki made the final decision.

"Use super cells to treat her? Ordinary people may not be able to endure the torment of a long life!"

"I know that for most people, immortality may just be a curse. Sitting back and watching the world change and the people around them grow old and disappear one by one is not something that most people can endure. This may be more terrible than the harm she has suffered now."

Shuimu shook his head and said, "Let's use the stupid method. We will use physical means to gradually remove the mutated tissues, and then slowly treat them."

“It takes a lot of energy to do this.”

"Let's do this. It's a good thing to let her stay here. Yukimura won't just interact with us in the future. Letting her, a peer, guide him might be more suitable for him."

After saying this, Shuimu's original body seemed to have thought of something.

"Let's talk to Yuhuo first. She must be paid for our treatment. Let her be a servant for three years to pay off the debt. If there is anything in the future, let her take Yukimura out for a walk."

"Understood."

After explaining many things, Shuimu was ready to return, as there were still some things in the village waiting for him to deal with.

"Oh, there's one thing I forgot to tell you..."

A sealing scroll was handed over.

"What's this?"

"A small thing captured in the Sea Country, it might have some value. Tianzhi calls it Umibozu."

"Umibozu? Is that the shapeless sea monster?"

Shuimu had some impression of this thing. It seemed to be a very strange psychic beast that could be resurrected continuously by replenishing water in sea water.

"This guy is very difficult to kill. Although I sense that there is a core inside it that seems to kill it if it is destroyed, it is actually a disguise. As long as there is water, this thing cannot be killed at all. I just trapped it with a sealing technique and brought it back."

Mizuki opened the scroll and released the sealed object inside. An egg-sized water ball appeared in his palm.
