Clink, the chip fell onto the tal laboratory table with a crisp sound. This chip was small, entirely black, and covered with gold granular protrusions on the surface.
Su Xiao picked up the chip. Although the chip wasn’t large, it was quite heavy.

...
Su Xiao examined the chip in his hand. From the description, it was clear that this chip was only half of an accessory. As for the other half, there were no clues.
If he could find the other half and combine them, the resulting item would undoubtedly be of an astonishing level.
Su Xiao was quite self-aware in this aspect; firstly, he had no idea how this violator obtained this chip. The opponent was already dead, making it as hard as fishing for a needle in the sea to obtain the other half.
Secondly, carrying this chip through the Void might lead to being hunted, the intensity of which was unknown, but it was certainly not a good thing; best to use it up quickly.
At this ti, Orochimaru and Dou were nearby, so using the chip imdiately was not a wise decision.
"Mister Bai Ye, is this your enemy?"
Orochimaru’s deep, hoarse voice ca through.
"Similar in nature."
Su Xiao retracted the Boundary Line, freeing Dou, who instinctively backed away, intending to distance himself from this dangerous figure, Su Xiao.
"So, we have completed our first trade. Next, let’s discuss that potion. I’m very interested in that thing."
The two parties barely completed their first trade satisfactorily, but unfortunately, they still didn’t trust each other.
"Sure, in exchange for similar knowledge."
Su Xiao’s arm naturally hung down, intentionally or unintentionally getting close to the hilt of Dragon Slash.
Bang.
The iron door of the laboratory closed with a bang, and Orochimaru licked his lips.
"Similar technology? Sorry, I don’t have that kind of technology."
As soon as Orochimaru spoke, several large three-ter-high test tubes in the room cracked, and a few n, all naked and expressionless, walked out from the tubes.
"Mr. Bai Ye, shall we renegotiate the terms of the trade?"
"Renegotiate?"
Su Xiao put away the chip in his hand; the poisonous snake Orochimaru finally revealed its fangs.
"How about exchanging Mister Bai Ye’s potion and Sharingan for your life?"
Orochimaru gave a sinister laugh, and Dou was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as he finished speaking, the laboratory door opened, and a man and a woman walked into the room. The man had white hair, with notably sharp shark-like teeth, and the woman had long red hair, wearing black-frad glasses.
They were Orochimaru’s subordinates, Suigetsu and Shinfuru.
"Ah, such a troubleso life, looks like it’s ti to fight again, and the opponent is a mber of Akatsuki."
Suigetsu had a listless look, as if he had just woken up. anwhile, Shinfuru stood motionless at the door, casting an unusual look at Su Xiao, her pupils trembling.
Shinfuru stared intently at Su Xiao and whispered to Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, this guy..."
"Hmm?"
Orochimaru looked displeased.
"This guy has killed countless people; his aura has turned red, like an executioner."
Su Xiao just stood there, inadvertently releasing an aura that made Shinfuru’s hair stand on end.
"Very normal; ordinary people don’t qualify to join Akatsuki."
"But..."
Orochimaru gestured for Shinfuru to step back, as long as she monitored the energy flow within Su Xiao.
"Have you considered it? Mister Bai Ye."
Orochimaru was confident in his victory; he revealed the location of the laboratory to seize the opportunity to trap Su Xiao.
"Orochimaru, Akatsuki mbers usually act in pairs. Aren’t you curious where my partner is?"
"Hah."
Orochimaru sneered coldly.
"Your partner is already dead at the hands of those little brats and an old lady, and as for Deidara, he’s off getting Kakuza to sew his limbs back together."
Orochimaru’s intelligence system was indeed formidable.
"Then, doesn’t it strike you as odd about this three-man team?"
"Three-man team."
Orochimaru showed a contemplative expression and suddenly thought of sothing.
"Could it be that you..."
"Exactly, to be precise, I’m not really a partner of Scorpion and Deidara, I’m the third person in all the teams."
"Bai Ye, that’s revealing internal organization intelligence."
A man’s voice ca from the corridor behind Shinfuru, causing her pupils to contract to the extre; she hadn’t sensed anyone’s approach at all.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
Orochimaru’s face went ice-cold, turning to look at the newcor in the corridor.
Itachi, wearing a cloak with a red cloud on black, walked forward slowly, followed by Kisa Hoshigaki.
"Shinfuru!"
Orochimaru looked at Shinfuru, only now realizing her Chakra was very unstable, a clear sign of being caught in an illusion technique.
Itachi’s illusion technique was undoubtedly top-notch in the Naruto World. The enemy was already trapped in his illusion technique before they realized it.
"Just as expected, this snake indeed took the bait; the Sharingan served well as bait."
Kisa laughed a few tis, his dead fish eyes scanned those present.
The scene shifted from an initial ten-on-one to a ten-on-three.
Su Xiao was not a mber of the Scorpion Squad. Nagato assigned him the identity of assisting in capturing the Tailed Beast. In other words, whichever squad was capturing a Tailed Beast, he would temporarily join that squad.
Orochimaru’s face was ashen, but then he laughed.
"A good plan, but unfortunately, it’s useless against ."
Orochimaru’s body suddenly toppled, his snake eyes eting Itachi’s Sharingan.
With a thud, Orochimaru fell to the ground, his pale skin cracking open, revealing a female ninja’s face; this was not Orochimaru at all.
With a splash, Suigetsu turned into a pool of clear water, quickly seeping into the cracks of the floor, and in an instant, Orochimaru and Suigetsu disappeared.
"This, this, this."
Shinfuru retreated several steps; she was a sensing and dical ninja, lacking strong escape thods.
"Heh, unsurprisingly, the snake got away, Itachi."
Kisa seed unsurprised by Orochimaru’s escape, and Itachi also remained as calm as ever.
"Then I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything."
Su Xiao took out an apple, taking a bite; Itachi had let Orochimaru go just now, or he would have definitely captured him. As for why he let him go, there was no need to think, it was to help Uchiha Sasuke grow.
Dragon Slash slowly unsheathed, and Su Xiao’s figure disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, his blade was already blood-stained, having killed the few experint subjects of Orochimaru, who stood foolishly after Orochimaru left.
"One more left."
Su Xiao squatted in front of Shinfuru, taking a big bite of the apple, carefully chewing.
Shinfuru sat paralyzed on the ground, not daring to resist, nor was she foolish enough to do so, for these three before her were all monster-level; resistance would only result in a quicker death.
"Since she’s Orochimaru’s subordinate, kill her."
Kisa stepped forward, and Shinfuru shivered.
"Wait."
Itachi stepped forward.
"She’s still of use."
