Chương 156: Chapter 156: Damn, It Takes a Grasscutter Sword to Break This Defense!

Hinata Hyuga had just left, but Orochimaru was left staring in surprise at the million ryo in his hands. Yesterday, the Hyuga clan had invited Uchiha Akira over for dinner, which Orochimaru knew about. However, he distinctly remembered that it was supposed to be an invitation from Hiashi Hyuga and his daughter, Hanabi Hyuga.

So, why was it Hinata who came to pay off the debt now?

And while a million ryo is certainly not a small amount, considering the relationship between him and Uchiha Akira, whether or not the debt was repaid shouldn't have been such a big deal.

"Interesting. It seems things have taken an unexpected turn. Hinata Hyuga… She's quite a remarkable girl," Orochimaru thought, a faint smile forming on his lips as he began to piece together what might have transpired between Akira and Hinata.

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on it further. Since Hinata had come to repay the debt on Akira's behalf, he would simply accept it.

Meanwhile, Akira had no idea what Hinata had done. After resting at home for a day, he decided to visit Orochimaru. Akira held Orochimaru's abilities in high regard, particularly his expertise with Hashirama's cells, which was second to none in the ninja world.

In the life simulator, Orochimaru had spent an entire year studying the fusion of Akira's dragon cells with Hashirama's cells before achieving success. Now that Akira had already completed this fusion, he knew it would be of great benefit to Orochimaru.

"Akira-kun, welcome!" Orochimaru greeted, setting aside his work as soon as he heard Akira had arrived. He came to greet him immediately.

"Orochimaru, you know I've completed the dragon transformation, and I've also obtained quite a few of Hashirama's cells," Akira began without any unnecessary formalities, knowing that Orochimaru wasn't one for small talk either.

"Oh? So, you want me to help you with the fusion of the dragon cells and Hashirama's cells?" Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement at the prospect.

For someone like Orochimaru, the opportunity to study the fusion of these two powerful cell types was incredibly enticing.

"No, you've got it wrong," Akira replied with a smile. "I've already completed the fusion. I'm just here to see if there are any lingering side effects that you might be able to check for."

"Already completed the fusion!?" Orochimaru's eyes widened in shock. He knew all too well how powerful, yet dangerous, Hashirama's cells were. During his past experiments, countless subjects had perished due to the cells' invasive nature.

Only one person, Yamato, had successfully adapted to the cells, but his Wood Release techniques paled in comparison to Hashirama's. Initially, Orochimaru had assumed Akira would need his help to complete the fusion. But to hear that Akira had already done it himself?

"So, you don't want to check me out anymore?" Akira asked, pretending to be nonchalant, but inwardly amused by Orochimaru's shocked expression.

"Of course not!" Orochimaru quickly shook his head, his excitement evident as he unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth with his long tongue. "I would be more than happy to examine you, Akira-kun. In fact, I can hardly wait!"

It was no wonder Orochimaru was so thrilled. If he could study the successful fusion of dragon cells and Hashirama's cells, it would greatly advance his understanding of both.

To have a finished product before him, one that he could dissect and reverse-engineer, would be an enormous boon to his research.

Orochimaru was so excited that he was trembling slightly, his eyes fixed on Akira with the hunger of a man who had been starving and was suddenly presented with a feast.

"Could you, maybe, not look at me like that?" Akira frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable under Orochimaru's intense gaze. The whole scene made him think of those "uncle checking your body" scenarios that felt unsettlingly off.

"Of course, Akira-kun. I'm here to assist you in any way you need," Orochimaru quickly adjusted his expression, seeing that Akira didn't appreciate his eagerness.

"Alright, let's get on with it," Akira said, nodding in approval at Orochimaru's more composed demeanor.

Together, they headed into Orochimaru's lab. The lab was filled with various assistants working on different experiments, but one in particular caught Akira's attention.

"Akira-kun, it's been a long time," said a familiar face, adjusting his glasses with a subtle smile—Kabuto Yakushi.

"Kabuto, it really has been a while," Akira nodded in acknowledgment.

Seeing Kabuto with Orochimaru didn't surprise Akira. After all, in the original timeline, Kabuto had been Orochimaru's right-hand man, even surpassing him during the Fourth Great Ninja War when he resurrected countless powerful shinobi with the Edo Tensei jutsu.

Given that Orochimaru had now taken a position as the head of Konoha's research division, it made sense that Kabuto would be by his side.

"Alright, Kabuto, prepare the necessary equipment. I'm going to examine Akira-kun's cells," Orochimaru instructed.

Kabuto quickly got to work, setting up the equipment for the analysis. Akira extended his hand, indicating he was ready for them to draw some blood.

However, instead of taking the sample himself, Orochimaru handed the task to Kabuto. "Kabuto, go ahead and extract some of Akira-kun's blood."

"Yes, sir," Kabuto replied, slightly puzzled by Orochimaru's decision not to do it himself. Nonetheless, he followed the order without question.

He took a kunai and gently pressed it against Akira's skin. To his shock, the kunai didn't even pierce the skin. It just left a slight dent without drawing any blood.

"This… This…" Kabuto stammered, staring at Akira in disbelief. What kind of body could be so resilient that a kunai couldn't even break the skin?

"Try my sword," Orochimaru suggested, unfazed but clearly intrigued by Akira's newfound durability. He opened his mouth, and a snake slithered out, revealing a sword hilt from within its mouth.

Watching this, Akira couldn't help but wrinkle his nose in disgust. "Orochimaru, do you have to make everything you do so gross?"

Seriously, why did Orochimaru always have to pull things out of his mouth? It was like he had turned his mouth into some kind of slimy storage unit, and it was just plain revolting.

"Akira-kun, I know I can't compare to you," Orochimaru replied calmly, not offended by Akira's criticism. If anything, Kabuto was taken aback by how deferential Orochimaru was being.

In all his years serving Orochimaru, Kabuto had never seen him show such humility. But Kabuto wisely kept his thoughts to himself, knowing that he was in no position to question these two powerhouses.

Taking the sword from Orochimaru, Kabuto carefully used it to make a small cut on Akira's skin. This time, the blade succeeded, and blood began to trickle out. Kabuto quickly collected the sample, and Orochimaru wasted no time diving into his analysis.

Meanwhile, Kabuto assisted him, while Akira, feeling a bit bored, wandered around the lab, casually inspecting various items. Eventually, his eyes fell on the sword that Orochimaru had left on the table.

It was a Grasscutter Sword, one of several in the Naruto world. Orochimaru was practically a connoisseur of these swords, with several in his collection. In the original series, Sasuke had one, and so did Itachi with his Totsuka Blade, which was also a type of Grasscutter Sword, each with its own unique properties.

Akira picked up the sword, examining it closely. He was impressed with its craftsmanship and nodded in approval.

Despite his already immense power—strength, speed, agility, and defense—a sharp weapon like this could enhance his combat effectiveness even further. As he channeled chakra into the blade, the sword's length began to extend, which fascinated Akira.

"So, this is the same sword Orochimaru used in the original series to extend into a giant blade when he fought Naruto? Looks like it," Akira thought, intrigued by the sword's abilities.

After about an hour, Orochimaru finally finished his analysis. When he returned with the results, his expression was one of growing astonishment.

Chương 157: Chapter 157: The Wealthy Man– Kakuzu

"How did it go?" Akira asked as he watched Orochimaru's expression.

"Akira…" Orochimaru snapped out of his shock, finally composing himself.

With a serious look in his eyes, he asked, "Did you really fuse all those Hashirama cells yourself?"

"Yeah, I did," Akira admitted without hesitation, as if it was no big deal.

Why wouldn't he admit it?

In the Life Simulator, sure, it was Orochimaru who took over a year to help him with the fusion, but it was still thanks to the Simulator, right?

In reality, Orochimaru hadn't really done anything directly for him.

So, claiming he did it all himself seemed reasonable enough. No harm in that, right?

"I didn't expect that!" Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise when Akira confirmed it. "I always knew your talent in training was unmatched, but I had no idea you were so advanced in scientific research too. In this field, you're on par with me!"

Orochimaru looked at Akira with admiration.

Since Orochimaru himself had worked on the fusion for over a year, he could see the intricacies in the process.

Everything lined up perfectly with his own thoughts.

It was like looking at a painting he had created, only from the future.

Akira couldn't help but feel a bit smug. Getting praise from Orochimaru, the greatest scientist in the Shinobi world, wasn't something that happened every day.

Of course, Akira knew the truth.

That's why he didn't dwell on the subject for too long.

"I asked you to look at it to see if there were any hidden risks," Akira said.

"There aren't any," Orochimaru replied confidently. "The Hashirama cells have fused perfectly with your original dragon cells. So far, I haven't detected any risks."

"While Hashirama's cells are powerful and invasive, your own cells surpass them in strength."

"Hashirama's cells are known for their vitality, making them aggressive. It's said the First Hokage could heal even the most serious injuries thanks to them."

"But your cells, Akira, are extraordinary for their sheer strength. Earlier, even the Kusanagi Sword had difficulty cutting your skin."

Orochimaru provided a detailed comparison between Akira's cells and Hashirama's.

Though Akira had suspected there wouldn't be any issues, hearing Orochimaru confirm it personally allowed him to finally relax.

"Speaking of the Kusanagi Sword, you seem to be a fan. You've got quite a few in your collection, right?" Akira shifted the conversation, raising the sword in his hand.

"I do have a few. If you like this one, consider it a gift," Orochimaru offered generously.

"I'm not one to take advantage of others. In exchange, I'll give you some of my blood and cell samples," Akira replied. "They may not be useful to everyone, but for someone like you, they'll be invaluable."

"Deal!" Orochimaru's face lit up with a wide smile as he nodded in agreement.

Of course, Akira knew that Orochimaru would've found a way to keep some of his cells regardless. They were too irresistible for him.

So, why not use them as part of a trade?

Now that he had a Kusanagi Sword, he finally had a weapon that felt comfortable to wield.

Plus, with chakra infused, the sword's length could be adjusted at will.

It truly was a practical weapon for Akira!

"Let's see if you can escape my 39-meter-long blade," Akira mused to himself.

Or maybe he'd say something like, "Shoot to kill, Kamishini no Yari?"

"Oh, by the way!"

Now that the Kusanagi Sword was officially his, Akira added, "About that 1,000,000 Ryo you lent me before—I'll repay you in a few days."

Akira wasn't the type to take advantage of others, so he made sure to remember the debt.

No problem! In a few days, once he robbed Kakuzu, repaying Orochimaru would be a breeze!

"Akira, it seems you haven't heard. Your debt has already been repaid," Orochimaru said as he carefully stored Akira's blood and cells.

"Repaid? By whom?" Akira was startled.

Was it the old man? It seemed like only the old man would do something like that.

"It was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata," Orochimaru replied.

"Hinata? She paid my debt?" Akira was genuinely surprised.

"Yes, she came by last night and brought 1,000,000 Ryo," Orochimaru nodded.

At this point, Orochimaru paused, an unusual glint of gossip in his eyes, and added, "So, are you going for the elder princess of the Hyuga Clan now?"

"What's this? Are you interested in gossip too?" Akira responded, amused.

"Not really. Relationships only interfere with my pursuit of immortality," Orochimaru replied without hesitation.

Ah, yes, the classic "no attachments, and the sword comes naturally" approach.

That phrase suited Orochimaru perfectly.

After all, he might be the only person in the Shinobi world who could reproduce asexually!

"All right, I'm off!" Akira waved his hand, ending the conversation as he left the lab.

"Lord Orochimaru, it seems you have a great deal of respect for Master Akira," Kabuto commented after Akira had left.

"I'm a snake, and he's a dragon. Sometimes, it's hard to resist the instincts of the body," Orochimaru replied bluntly. He knew there was no point hiding his thoughts from Kabuto.

Kabuto silently nodded, understanding the situation.

Yes, from the fact that Orochimaru didn't even take Akira's blood directly, Kabuto could clearly sense the level of respect he had for him.

Normally, such a thing would never happen.

After leaving Orochimaru's lab, Akira thought for a moment and headed toward the Hokage Tower.

As he walked, he thought back to Hinata repaying his 1,000,000 Ryo debt, and a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Isn't that why he liked Hinata so much?

Who wouldn't like a girl like that?

A girlfriend who actually repaid his debt—now that was a keeper!

With those thoughts swirling in his mind, Akira soon arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, I'd like to request some information," Akira said to Fugaku without wasting time.

"Oh? What kind of information?" Fugaku asked, curious.

With his position as head of the Anbu, Akira had access to most of the village's resources.

Whatever required Fugaku's approval had to be something important.

"I'd like information on Mokuton," Akira stated.

"Mokuton?" Fugaku blinked, surprised by the request.

"That's right," Akira confirmed with a nod.

"But why?" Fugaku was puzzled. After all, the Uchiha Clan had always focused on power through the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Mokuton? That was practically the opposite of what the Uchiha Clan sought.

"I'm just curious," Akira replied simply, offering no further explanation.

"Very well, go ahead and retrieve the information," Fugaku said, handing him a signed approval.

With that, Akira headed to the Konoha archives and retrieved the data on Mokuton.

It felt like he was back in a library, Akira thought, as he unrolled the scroll.

The scroll began with a general explanation of Mokuton as a Kekkei Genkai combining Earth Release and Water Release.

Then, it detailed some of the First Hokage's legendary feats, along with Hashirama's personal notes on Mokuton.

After reading through it, Akira gained a deeper understanding of Mokuton techniques.

Moving forward, the scroll described several ways to perform Mokuton techniques, like the sequence of hand signs.

Even though, in the original story, the First Hokage could just slap his hands together and summon anything he wanted, Akira knew that wasn't always the case.

At a younger age, Hashirama had to follow the proper hand signs to perform Mokuton.

These kinds of details could only be found in Konoha.

Akira made sure to memorize all of it.

But practicing it? Nah, no point in wasting ten years trying to master these techniques.

Good thing he had the Life Simulator!

And soon enough, a walking goldmine would be passing right in front of him.

After memorizing everything, Akira closed the scroll and got a good night's sleep.

The next day, Akira quietly tailed a squad of shinobi heading toward Sunagakure.

The hunt for Kakuzu, the richest man around, had officially begun!
