After Training Bankai for a Decade, I Was Scouted by the Akatsuki Chapter 257 The Villains Have Been Decided

Kyo's words even directly gave Orochimaru a few new points of understanding...

So, after implanting Hashirama's cells, the resulting super-strong Wood Release constitution is called the "Sage Body"...?

And, the so-called "Rinnegan" seems to only awaken on the basis of the "Sage Body" and "Sharingan"?

In other words, the Rinnegan... is actually an upgraded version of the Sharingan?

"..."

Realizing these points,

Orochimaru drew in a cold breath on the spot, feeling his hair stand on end.

He was a scientist.

Back before defecting from Konoha,

He had collaborated with Konoha's King of Blas, Shimura Danzo, to carry out a large amount of Wood Release experintal subject research.

Attempting to suppress Hashirama's cells to create super-strong Shinobi capable of controlling Wood Release, as the backbone of Konoha. It could even be said... to replicate a low-configuration version of the "God of Shinobi"!

However,

Unfortunately,

Most people simply couldn't withstand the overbearing Hashirama's cells, experiencing severe rejection reactions, and eventually died.

In the end, the only successfully implanted experintal subject, "Tenzo", was even picked up by Hiruzen...

And moreover,

The power of his Wood Release was not as strong as Orochimaru had imagined.

If the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release was compared to a vast, boundless sea of trees,

Then Yamato's Wood Release,

Was at most the level of a three-bedroom apartnt...

Completely incomparable.

Therefore,

Many years later, now.

Orochimaru had long since basically given up on researching Hashirama's cells, putting them out of his mind.

Unexpectedly now,

He heard about it again... from Kyo's mouth...

After being stunned for a long ti,

A cold sweat trickled down Orochimaru's forehead.

Then, he forced a smile, revealing an ugly grin, and said cautiously:

"K-Kyo-sama..."

"The First Hokage's cells are indeed very powerful,"

"But, rashly transplanting them to Sasuke, wouldn't that be... a bit too hasty...?"

"After all,"

"The powerful rejection of those cells makes the mortality rate completely hard to control."

"It might cause him to die on the spot."

"Moreover, I'm not confident in persuading the always stubborn him to actively accept the cell transplant..."

Orochimaru's smile was stiff, carefully probing as he spoke.

His words were not because he had so selfish motive regarding Sasuke or anything,

But rather stating basic facts.

After all,

Since he brought Sasuke to his base, this kid Sasuke's bad temper had basically not changed at all.

Always acting arrogant, even blindly arrogant to everything.

Not to ntion the danger of Hashirama's cells,

Just getting him to accept the transplant would probably take a lot of effort...

However at this mont,

Hearing Orochimaru's words,

Kyo's smile still remained unchanged,

Walking forward leisurely with his hands in his pockets, he casually chuckled:

"Don't worry."

"Since I proposed this plan, I've already thought of a way to make him agree."

"Also, I'll find a way to suppress the Hashirama's cells."

"So don't worry, just watch the show."

At these words,

Orochimaru was stunned, his breath involuntarily catching.

Ha...?

Wait, what's going on...?

What the hell... Kyo-sama can even find a way to suppress the First Hokage's cells???

This is a bit too ridiculous, right...?

Las Noches,

Just how many hidden secret techniques are there, hey...

Orochimaru couldn't help but sweat.

Then,

He stiffly smiled and nodded, saying:

"U-understood!"

Within the Void,

On the Spirit Particle Path constructed by Kyo,

The two walked in silence.

All the way towards the secret base guided by Orochimaru.

And at this mont,

There was a faint smile in Kyo's eyes.

This great battle with Madara,

Had indeed benefited him greatly.

This wasn't to say the benefit was in combat experience.

After all,

Most of the techniques Kyo used were old tricks.

The only different technique, absorbing Susano'o's Chakra, was accomplished through items in the shop.

Therefore,

After one battle, in terms of combat experience, he really hadn't gained much.

What truly benefited was Kyo's thinking.

Through this brief battle,

The prototype of Kyo's peace plan,

Finally began to gradually take shape and tended towards stability.

Thinking back,

When Kyo had spoken to Nagato and Konan about the so-called "Deterrence Balance" peace plan, he had ntioned—

For the Shinobi World to obtain lasting peace, there must be a balanced situation.

First, within the Shinobi World, there must be an organization capable of standing above the Five Great Nations, acting as a righteous deterrent, governing the operation of the Shinobi World.

And second, outside the Shinobi World, there must also be an organization capable of bearing the sins of the entire world, acting as an evil deterrent, overwhelming the entire Shinobi World.

In this way,

The hatred of the entire Shinobi World would be directed towards the powerful evil organization, thus uniting everyone under the leadership of the righteous side.

However,

Although this plan was ntioned back then,

It was only a general direction in Kyo's mind.

What the specific righteous and evil organizations would be,

Had always been at an unknown stage.

Kyo hadn't completely decided either.

But now,

After a great battle with the Edo Tenseid Madara, Kyo's thinking seed to suddenly open up.

He's enlightened.

An evil organization?

Isn't this already extrely obvious?

Madara and Obito, these two guys together, every day thinking about the Eye of the Moon Plan, hypnotizing the entire Shinobi World...

Whether in purpose or strength, they completely satisfy the conditions for being the great evil organization!

And moreover,

Behind their Eye of the Moon Plan,

There was also vaguely an even stronger alien boss — Otsutsuki Kaguya!

No matter how you look at it,

This further solidified their position as the evil side.

In other words,

Kyo fundantally didn't need to deliberately create an evil organization to deter the Shinobi World; he could just go with the flow.

He just needed to find a way to gradually strengthen the power of Madara and Obito's side,

Ultimately,

Having mastered the Ten-Tails, they would inevitably be able to overwhelm the entire Shinobi World...

The Five Great Nations,

Would have no one capable of opposing them.

And at that ti,

Kyo would only need to lead Nagato and Konan, appearing as a righteous image,

As the "dawn of the Shinobi World", to lead the Five Great Nations in opposing them as the evil side...

Thus, directly establishing the position of governing the Shinobi World!

Completely forming a balanced situation!

However,

This plan,

Had only one flaw, which was —

The power of the evil side, in the early stages, seed a bit too monotonous, and its oppressiveness wasn't quite enough...

For this reason,

Kyo began to think of the first step of this plan...

That was...

To subvert and strengthen Sasuke!

The word "subvert" might not be accurate.

After all, this kid Sasuke had long since had his mind elsewhere, only thinking about taking revenge on his brother, Itachi.

Even, objectively speaking,

Everything he did now was completely in preparation for revenge.

And Kyo's purpose was to find a way to get him to join Madara and Obito's side, to beco one of the great evil antagonists of the Shinobi World along with them!

Therefore, this kid Sasuke... needed a major version upgrade.

After all,

Having only awakened a single tomoe Sharingan after experiencing the night of the massacre, his strength was truly too lacking...

Not to ntion opposing the Kage of the various countries,

With his current strength, even if he went to fight a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, he might get beaten up and humiliated.

That's right,

He's talking about Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Land of Lightning.

Kyo had to admit,

Although Sasuke progressed quickly,

His cheats were still too few.

Even in the original work, his battle with Itachi was barely won thanks to his brother heavily holding back.

In the subsequent battle with the Raikage, he was severely humiliated...

If the great antagonist is like this,

Of course, it won't do.

As the number one planner of the Shinobi World, Kyo certainly wouldn't allow such a situation.

Therefore, He would manually give Sasuke a new cheat—

The Rinnegan!

As everyone knows,

The Rinnegan can only have the chance to be awakened when one possesses both the power of "Asura" and "Indra"...

Therefore, as the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, to awaken the Rinnegan, he of course needed Hashirama's cells to supplent the Asura part.

And besides that,

What Kyo needed to do was actually very little,

If nothing unexpected happened, Obito would actively help complete the latter part.

After all, in the original work,

In order to strengthen his own side's power, Obito had unilaterally planned Sasuke's revenge plan, helping him transplant Itachi's Sharingan, and incidentally brought him to join Akatsuki...

So,

Kyo's visit this ti,

Was only to complete the first part of the plan.
