Jiraiya responded affirmatively, and Orochimaru immediately received the message prompt.
“You have participated in the novice task of Reincarnator 002, and you will receive half of the reward points from the task.”
After confirming the task, Orochimaru’s heart became joyful.
This task was simply giving away reward points for free, and dealing with Tsunade was even easier than dealing with that idiot Jiraiya.
Hemophobia!
Obsession with deceased lovers and younger brothers!
The unlucky aura of always losing in gambling!
Any of these three points could achieve the goal with a casual approach.
“No… “
Orochimaru shook his head, feeling his consciousness becoming a bit blurred, his snake pupils slightly narrowed, “I haven’t rested for three consecutive days, not very clear-headed.”
The reward points obtained from previous tasks had all been exchanged for branch scrolls of scientific ninjutsu.
It must be said that the sea of learning is boundless. The more one knows, the less Orochimaru feels he knows.
As Zeno once said: A person’s knowledge is like a circle. Inside the circle is what is known, and outside the circle is what is unknown. The more you know, the larger the circle becomes, and the more you feel you don’t know.
Orochimaru had reached the realm of the “big circle” now.
For Orochimaru, mastering the core technology of innovative thinking was equivalent to a child getting a hulu, Batman catching the Joker, Steve Rogers getting the Winter Soldier, Daenerys successfully reclaiming the throne, Voldemort ruling the wizarding world…
Three days without sleep was just a trivial matter. After playing with his body to the point of breaking, he could simply use a substitution technique to change into a new one.
After studying scientific ninjutsu, Orochimaru improved many of his previous ninjutsu. The side effects of the substitution technique had been greatly reduced.
In his current view, reward points were equivalent to research materials.
So for this task, Orochimaru would not allow any mistakes.
With this in mind, he beckoned.
The servants in the mansion immediately understood and quickly fetched the device he needed.
There was nothing on the smooth ironwood table, only the seal engraved on it formed an air domain with a diameter of ten meters after being infused with chakra.
With a wave of his hand, several pieces of transparent solid appeared on the table like ice but remained at room temperature. With a light tap, these solids turned into powder.
“What is this?” Jiraiya was confused in a textbook-like manner.
“A by-product produced in chemical research.”
Orochimaru formed seals expressionlessly, condensed chakra, and his pale and slender hands trembled slightly:
“Wind Release: Mountain Fog!”
Strong winds struck, and dust filled the sky.
In an instant, the female servants who inhaled the dust were all blushing, with silky eyes. Even their natural fear of Orochimaru seemed to diminish significantly.
Some even dared to approach Orochimaru and express their girlish thoughts.
They praised Lord Orochimaru’s strength, coldness, dominance, and majesty.
They clumsily expressed their inner admiration and excitement.
They were standing on the edge of a knife, dancing with the god of death.
“Cough cough cough… What are you doing? I’m almost suffocated!”
Jiraiya coughed twice, complained, then found his spirits rapidly rising and his control over chakra seemingly improved by two levels.
He suddenly felt very happy—even though he had no reason to be.
“What is this thing? Tsunade should like it very much. If you give her some, she might just agree directly…”
A exaggerated smile appeared on Jiraiya’s face, and he became more talkative, like a drunk person, his speech slurred: “If you had given me this thing before, I would have willingly become a reincarnator and wouldn’t have to suffer such a beating! My hair… my handsome appearance! Hmm… I don’t blame you, our bond… even if you kill me, I have no complaints, just…”
The words after that were like whispers, completely inaudible to normal ears.
But Orochimaru seemed to understand his meaning. A terrifying smile appeared on his stern face, and he patiently explained, “This was manufactured just a few days ago. I mainly use it to refresh myself. But it also makes people’s emotions unstable, and I can’t completely determine Tsunade’s reaction after using it, so it can’t be used in tasks.”
“In addition, you don’t need to feel sad about your hairstyle.”
Orochimaru looked at him with a smile that wasn’t a smile, his tone eerie, “I saw a very interesting ability in the main god’s exchange list.”
“After exchanging for that ability, as long as you do one hundred push-ups, one hundred squats, one hundred sit-ups, and run ten kilometers every day, you can have unparalleled attack power, defense, and speed after three years.”
“The only side effect of this ability is that you will become bald. However, if it’s you who exchanges for it, you don’t need to worry about its side effects.”
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, pondered seriously for a long time, and suddenly felt…
What Orochimaru said made so much sense!
Since the side effect of the ability was baldness, and he was already bald, exchanging for this ability wouldn’t it be a blood bargain?
“When I have enough reward points, I will definitely exchange for the ability you mentioned! I, Jiraiya, promise! “
Despite several foolish girls approaching him, Orochimaru surprisingly didn’t find them annoying and directly knocked them unconscious with a smile.
“No wonder it felt strange before. The task is indeed not that simple.”
Orochimaru pushed up the single-sided glasses on his nose and muttered to himself, “Hemophobia and gambling addiction are Tsunade’s personality flaws, but they are also hidden traps in this task. If we start from these two aspects, Tsunade is likely to refuse the invitation to become a reincarnator at the last moment, directly leading to the failure of the task.”
He touched his bald head and smiled menacingly.

He touched his bald head and smiled menacingly.
His attention was clearly not on the task, and his thoughts had diverged significantly: “What’s on your face?”
It was a red, semi-transparent monocle.
“Combat power detector, the main god’s exchange list is as vast as the sea, and there are many things inside. Just the name and appearance can give me great inspiration.”
Orochimaru seemed to have a high resistance to the effects of the medicine. At this moment, his facial expression had returned to normal, but there was still some lingering effect on his mind.
He looked at Jiraiya and said some incomprehensible words.
“Three stages of learning, and my previous combat power is like a world of difference. But now I have become a one-star scholar, although my scientific reserves have not been converted into many achievements, it is enough to deal with two of you at the same time.”
Jiraiya was again struck by medicine madness, as happy as a two-hundred-pound child.
“Hehehe… Never mind all that! Today, we are going to rebuild the Three Ninja Team!”
“Okay. But before that, we need to devise a strategic plan. Search for books at zhaoshuyuan.com.”
…
Konoha, 60th Year of the Leaf, March.
Hokage’s Office.
“Excluding those who have been sent back to ninja school for retraining and dropouts… There are only a total of 27 qualified graduates this time, so we probably need to divide them into 9 classes…”
“We’re short of manpower, and things aren’t looking good…”
Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched his head, took a satisfying drag from his dry cigarette, and furrowed his brow.
Ninjas leading the graduating teams…
Who should he choose among the nine?
“Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame. These three can be placed in the same class, let Kurenai Yuhi lead them.”
“Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi. The renowned Ino–Shika–Cho trio must stay together. It’s just that troublesome boy who’s always loafing around, let him be the team leader. It’s not a bad job, and it can also deepen the connections with the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans, helping him expand his network.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to play favorites and get his son, Asuma Sarutobi, a good job.
But this idea was quickly dismissed by him.
“Graduating ninjas are the future of Konoha. I can’t let this kid pass on his bad habits and attitudes to the next generation!”
“Let me think again…”
Hiruzen rubbed his throbbing temples and finally made up his mind, “Let Kakashi Hatake lead the Ino–Shika–Cho class! The death of Sakumo Hatake owes a lot to Konoha.”
With a total of nine graduation classes, Hiruzen Sarutobi distributed them one by one, leaving only three students in the end.
Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno.
“For the leader of the advanced ninja team, Kakashi Hatake!”
“He was recently promoted, but his strength is outstanding. He can handle this responsibility.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea that his thoughts had been silently tampered with by someone.
