In the Ninja World, Orochimaru's bases are everywhere.
Perhaps because Orochimaru has a unique sense of economics, each base he establishes is equipped with relatively complete facilities, and many of the instruments alone appear to be extremely valuable.
Uehara Naraku suddenly became a bit interested.
At this moment, Uehara felt as if he had returned to his school days.
Although Orochimaru's laboratory looked somewhat more advanced than a high school physics, chemistry, and biology lab, it did not stop Uehara Naraku from messing around here.
Unfortunately, there were no Ninjutsu Scrolls here, only a few of Orochimaru's experiment diaries filled with a bunch of nonsensical items.
Uehara Naraku couldn't really understand them either.
After a while, sitting idle and waiting for someone was a bit boring.
Uehara Naraku dug out a pile of test tubes and beakers, embarking on his first and possibly last journey as a scientist in the Ninja World.
As for whether there would be any fatal danger, Uehara didn't care.
Anyway, while Uehara might not win a fight against some people, in terms of survival, Orochimaru was probably not his match.
After a while, the laboratory door in the base opened.
When Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto came in, they saw a scene that made both of their eyebrows twitch at the same time.
Uehara Naraku held a test tube in his hand, about to pour some liquid into a beaker with an alcohol lamp heating it from below.
Orochimaru's look of surprise and anger gradually faded, and he said with some delight, "Ha, I never expected anyone to be interested in these things..."
The next second, when Orochimaru saw the test tube in Uehara Naraku's hand, his voice abruptly stopped, and his expression changed.
Yakushi Kabuto quickly interrupted Uehara loudly, not questioning why Uehara Naraku was there, but instead sternly advised, "Please put down the lab equipment in your hand."
"Shh, don't make a sound."
Uehara Naraku raised a finger and carefully said, "I'm doing an experiment right now, don't disturb my mood, your lives are on hold for now."
Orochimaru: "..."
This kid is a lunatic, right!
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said coldly, "I suggest you don't do that; the thing in your hand will explode. With its explosion speed and power, none of the three of us can escape."
"Don't worry, it won't kill me."
One sentence from Uehara Naraku angered Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, causing their foreheads to throb with veins, and he resolutely poured all the contents of the test tube into the heated beaker.
Orochimaru cursed Uehara Naraku in his mind while hastily forming hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Originally, when Orochimaru saw Uehara Naraku, he was a bit flustered.
Later, when Orochimaru saw Uehara Naraku conducting experiments in his lab, he got even more flustered.
When Orochimaru confirmed that Uehara Naraku was messing around, especially when he was wasting his precious refined chemicals with this messy and extremely simple experiment procedure, Orochimaru was utterly enraged by Uehara.
The rigor of a scientist absolutely does not allow him to tolerate Uehara Naraku.
This brat, he really isn't afraid of death!
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded instantly!
The entire laboratory was almost immediately wrecked by the powerful explosion!
Yakushi Kabuto didn't deceive Uehara Naraku; the liquid in the test tube he was playing with earlier was inherently unstable, and it was no surprise it exploded when in contact with the beaker and its random contents!
However, the explosion's power was simply too great.
Its effects alone far surpassed the power of a C-Class Great Fireball Jutsu.
Orochimaru quickly used the Earth Flow Wall Jutsu for defense but still inevitably suffered some collateral damage; by the time they stood up from the rubble, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto were a bit disheveled, looking rather out of shape.
Uehara Naraku emerged from the Golden Body Stasis state unscathed, not a hair out of place, and even leisurely commented on himself, "Well, a successful explosive experiment, I seem to have a talent for becoming a scientist."
"You're thinking too much..."
Orochimaru looked at Uehara Naraku with a grim and irritable expression, skipping over discussing Uehara's simple and juvenile experiment, and coldly said, "You brat, how did you manage to find this place?"
"Yeah, I came to experience Orochimaru-senpai's life."
Uehara Naraku kicked away a block of stone in his way and chuckled, "It turns out Orochimaru-senpai's life is quite interesting, does Orochimaru-senpai have any other experimental bases? I still have a few interesting little experiments I want to try..."
"..."
Yakushi Kabuto looked speechlessly at Uehara Naraku, then at the entire ruin.
It initially seemed like Uehara Naraku was someone who liked science, but from the messy little experiment he did just now, this guy has no scientific talent at all!
Orochimaru extended his long tongue to lick his lips, scanning around, not seeing anyone else's presence.
Orochimaru's gaze gradually turned somewhat cold, "You have guts, coming to hunt us down alone... Do you really think that summoning Pain allows you to do whatever you want?"
"Sorry."
Uehara Naraku spread his palms, looking somewhat mockingly at Orochimaru, "With Lord Pain, you can do whatever you want."
However, Uehara Naraku then added, "But I thought about it again, facing only Orochimaru-senpai, there really is no need to summon Lord Pain."
"You brat!"
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, suddenly extending his hand, and a slew of brown snakes lunged at Uehara to bite him: "Who do you think you are? Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"
"Dusk Blade!"
Suddenly, a purple Chakra Broadsword materialized beside Uehara Naraku, slicing through the heads of the group of snakes, and he even launched the purple broadsword towards Orochimaru!
The purple broadsword shot directly through Orochimaru's body!
The next second, Orochimaru's body shattered instantly, turning into pieces of earth that fell to the ground.
Earth Release: Earth Substitute.
"Ninpo: Summoning Jutsu!"
Orochimaru's voice suddenly echoed from another direction, and through the Summoning Spell under his hand, a giant snake appeared from nowhere, launching its huge mouth towards Uehara Naraku!
Uehara Naraku soared into the air, punching the snake directly to the ground!
Uehara Naraku descended onto the snake's corpse, sighed, and said, "Orochimaru-senpai, don't play with snakes in front of me, it's not interesting... Without some advanced ninjutsu, it's hard for anyone to take much interest in you."
After finishing, Uehara Naraku seemed to remember something, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Oh, I forgot, Orochimaru-senpai only plays with snakes."
"...Idiot!"
Originally, Orochimaru didn't care about Uehara's taunts, his mentality far exceeding most ninjas in the Ninja World, but he couldn't withstand Uehara's venomous tongue.
Orochimaru, as one of the few in the Ninja World with All-Attribute Chakra, aspires to learn all ninjutsu in the Ninja World, being proficient in the usual ninjutsu recorded by the Five Great Countries' Ninja Villages.
What do you mean by only playing with snakes!
Just listening to the tone in which Uehara Naraku mocked was enough to make Orochimaru's eyelid twitch: "Such little respect for your seniors... In that case, let this frog in a well see just how vast the Ninja World is!"
With those words, Orochimaru flung out a shuriken!
The shuriken flew towards Uehara Naraku with an Explosive Charm attached to it.
At the same time, a long snake appeared under Orochimaru's feet, dragging Yakushi Kabuto to his side, clearly unwilling for Yakushi Kabuto to be caught in the crossfire.
Just as Uehara Naraku was a bit surprised, Orochimaru suddenly raised his head, staring fixedly at Uehara, his eyes becoming somewhat grave, hands quickly coming together to form hand seals!
As Orochimaru completed the hand seals, a slight sneer played at the corners of his mouth: "Since you're asking for it, then I'll destroy you with your mentor and apprentice's favorite ninja tool! Ninpo... Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu!"
