After Neji left, Kabuto came to Orochimaru and looked at the severed arm in Orochimaru's hand, very puzzled.
"Kabuto, are you wondering what's the use of having such a severed arm?" Orochimaru carefully examined the severed arm in his hand, as if looking at a treasure.
"Yes." Kabuto was puzzled. To have Neji complete this for such a small ability, and pay such a price, didn't seem like Orochimaru-sama's style.
"Hehe, Kabuto, you'll know soon." Orochimaru placed the severed arm on the lab table, his face very gloomy, his smile unusually strange.
"The secret of the Byakugan, I must get it!"
Then, Orochimaru picked up a bottle of unknown liquid from the lab table and injected it into Ishi's severed arm. Instantly, on that severed arm, centered on the large eye on the back of the palm, fine lines reappeared.
...
At the same time, Neji had returned to his room, looking at the person kneeling on the ground, a smile appeared on Neji's face.
"Orochimaru told you, right." Neji came to her, looking at the only ninja in the Hokage who could use Crystal Release, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Yes, kneeling before him was one of Orochimaru's top subordinates – Red Lotus.
Red Lotus lowered her head and respectfully said, "Yes, from today onwards, I will completely obey your commands."
This was the reason Neji agreed to help Orochimaru bring back Ishi's severed arm. Orochimaru stated in the scroll that he would give Red Lotus to Neji.
"Although I don't know what Orochimaru is up to, what he's doing is really to my liking." Neji thought to himself, Red Lotus's Crystal Release was very powerful, although vulnerable to sound waves, it was still a very terrible ability.
If he interacted with Red Lotus more, he could also master this ability and improve his strength.
"Orochimaru, thank you so much." Neji chuckled to himself. Orochimaru was trying to find ways to improve his own abilities, what a nice guy.
If Orochimaru knew Neji's thoughts, he would definitely be so angry he'd spit blood. In Orochimaru's eyes, Neji was a lustful person, just like Jiraiya, so he used Red Lotus as a bargaining chip to get Neji to do things for him.
However, he wouldn't have thought about the existence of a system. What Neji cared about was just the Crystal Release.
"Hehe." Neji's lips curved up, and he suddenly launched an attack. Two large snakes suddenly emerged from Red Lotus's feet, opening their mouths to bite her.
Red Lotus was startled and immediately, without thinking, used Crystal Release to create a crescent-shaped blade to slash at the two large snakes. But at this moment, Neji's palm suddenly went into her body. Immediately after, she gradually lost consciousness.
"Mental orbs are really convenient." Neji's palm came out of Red Lotus's body, but he left the mental orb behind.
Red Lotus only obeyed Orochimaru because she had listened to his orders, so, in addition to following Neji's words to complete tasks without affecting Orochimaru's interests, she also had to supervise Neji for Orochimaru at all times.
How could Neji trust such a person?
"Only by making her completely obey me can I feel at ease." Neji whispered, his expression cold. He had many secrets, after all.
"Orochimaru, you've shot yourself in the foot." Neji smiled slightly and asked, "Right, Red Lotus?"
"Right!" Red Lotus's eyes were empty, completely without self-awareness. This was what Neji wanted.
"The host fought with Red Lotus and received the reward [Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison]."
Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison: Transforms into a large, three-dimensional pentagonal prism of crystal, and the creatures wrapped in the crystal will be broken along with the crystal.
As expected of Crystal Release, a very powerful ability.
Neji's eyes lit up, but he didn't do anything outrageous, only letting Red Lotus stay to the side.
Although he had now controlled Red Lotus, under these conditions, he could quickly obtain the Crystal Release, but Neji didn't want to do that.
After arranging Red Lotus, Neji took out the Grell Stone that he hadn't finished studying and observed it again. Although it was just a small stone, it gave Neji a headache.
How could he use this collection of Chakra?
The Tailed Beasts could directly give Chakra to the Jinchuriki, but the Grell Stone had no life, and he couldn't absorb the Chakra within it by normal means.
So, what should he do? Swallow it directly like the Ootsuki clan or Moryo, to obtain Chakra from outside the body?
Neji lowered his head, raised his eyelids and glanced at the Grell Stone in his hand, immediately dismissing the idea. It was too unrealistic, he didn't want to die young.
"It's a pity about that book, I forgot to take it back then." Neji was a little annoyed, but he couldn't find it now even if he went.
Although, according to Neji's speculation, that book only recorded some uses of the Grell Stone. After all, they didn't know the true nature of Akatsuki's Grell Stone, but with the guidance of that book, it would be better than him trying to figure it out here alone.
"Should I try to learn from Temujin and the others, and embed the Grell Stone in my chest?" Neji looked at the Grell Stone in his hand, lost in thought.
"No, maybe I should try the power of technology." A gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Red Lotus, I'll leave this place to you."
Immediately afterwards, a vortex appeared around Neji, taking him away from here. Before leaving, he looked at Red Lotus deeply, a sly smile on his lips.
"Hiss~ Hiss~"
After he left, a small white snake slowly crawled out of Red Lotus's robe, cautiously looked around, and immediately climbed towards the door.
But just when it was only three feet away from the door, a green snake, slightly larger than it, slid over from the side and swallowed it in one bite.
At the same time, a simple mural in the room suddenly burst out with bursts of white smoke, and finally, it turned into Neji's appearance.
"Orochimaru, you really can't let your guard down at any time, so troublesome." With a hook of Neji's hand, the green snake crawled over and wrapped around his hand.
"I hope ev
crack, Neji twisted and walked out.
erything goes well with the main body."
Not long after, a snowy place, a vortex emerged from the void, and within a black dot-like space "If I knew Flying Thunder God, I wouldn't have to bother so much." Neji sighed. Etherealization was powerful, but each teleportation distance couldn't be too far, let alone the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Snow.
They were separated by almost an entire continent.
Neji strode towards the city in front of him. Compared to before, the Land of Snow was obviously different. As far as the eye could see, the people showed happy smiles.
"She's managing it well." Neji nodded in satisfaction.
"With the technological level of the Land of Snow, there should be a way."
