Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 85 Encountering an Acquaintance

"..." No, not at all. Looking at this lump of flesh, Bone-kun couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

Fortunately, it seemed to have suddenly collapsed due to cellular instability, and from the outside it looked like the chunk of meat gradually dissolved into ashes and then disappeared completely.

Although this scene had appeared before and was within Orochimaru's expectations, it was still a pity to see it like this. He had thought that some of them could be preserved this time, but they were destroyed completely.

After the initial nausea, Bone-kun began to ponder. This situation seemed vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before…

Could it really be a case of killing Ash Bones together? Thinking of this, Bone Lord frowned and slowly approached to examine it. At this moment, the chunk of flesh had disappeared, leaving only a small amount of something that looked like dust residue.

But I don't have that ability. Even if I enhance it with the Sharingan, it's far from achieving the same effect as Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones. If I did, I wouldn't need to think about Yin-Yang Shield or anything like that to deal with Black Zetsu.

Having ruled out all other options, Bone-kun guessed that this was probably due to the system. However, on the other hand, without the physique of the Otsutsuki clan, even with the All-Killing Ash Bones, this thing would probably kill him first, and Kimimaro's bloodline disease might be due to this.

Of course, this is because Ainz knew the situation later on, so he was able to make a reverse deduction. Orochimaru doesn't know any of this now and can only guess based on the current situation.

Orochimaru noticed that Ainz seemed to be deep in thought, but because he was wearing a mask and his expression was not visible, Orochimaru could not be sure what he was thinking.

After this incident, while Orochimaru wanted to obtain the Sharingan, he also had a higher opinion of the bloodline limit of this clan. Originally, he thought that these things were insignificant in front of the Sharingan, but the experimental results showed that some things were not so simple. Perhaps this body could be reconsidered.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru turned to look at Kimimaro, but suddenly noticed that as time went by, a small bump seemed to have appeared on Kimimaro's forehead, and it was located right in the middle of the two red dots on his forehead.

"Kimimaro, what happened to you?" Orochimaru was somewhat surprised. No one in this base should be able to hurt him; could he have run into it himself? Besides…

"?" Kimimaro followed Orochimaru's gaze and touched his forehead, his expression immediately turning somewhat flustered. "...I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru!"

Hearing Kimimaro's response as if he had done something wrong, Honkai came to his senses, looked at Orochimaru, and said calmly, "I did it. He couldn't beat me. Is there a problem?"

"Hehe..." Orochimaru's expression was a half-smile upon hearing this. "Of course, no problem, but—it's not good for you to always make things difficult for the juniors in your own clan." Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, directly turning the focus of the problem to Ainz Ooal Gown.

"..." Although it was indeed his own doing, after Orochimaru said that, he felt like someone who bullied a junior because of his superior strength.

"Perhaps, your art of coaxing children is still as masterful as ever. But then again, I didn't 'forget' to tell you anything. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen something like this, and it's kind of disgusting."

"But regarding Kimimaro's situation, I've just made a guess, but this guess isn't part of the deal, and I don't want to tell you." Ainz Ooal Gown was quite frank about this, speaking his mind and the truth.

"..." Orochimaru's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this. This guess was probably the truth. As a scientist, the truth was right in front of him, but this guy only told him half of it. This feeling was extremely unpleasant.

"However—" Ainz Ooal Gown changed his mind again, "Since the ultimate goal of your deal is to cure Kimimaro's bloodline disease, I might have a way to try. But before that, you need to find me the cells of a dead person and a sacrifice, and send them to my room. I think you should know our rules for selecting people."

Orochimaru, who had initially thought the negotiations had broken down or that he would have to pay another price to obtain the information, laughed upon hearing that it was just such a small request. "Of course, but a sacrifice, a dead body—are you planning to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Bones shrugged. "Obviously, I don't think you have any other ninjutsu that require these two things."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, as if he were pondering something. Had he mastered it so quickly? If it weren't for Genjutsu, and he were on his own turf, this body without a bloodline disease would be truly enticing. "I'll send someone to bring the 'thing' to you later. Right now, I plan to record some of Kimimaro's physical data. Of course, if there's nothing else, you can choose to stay and watch."

"No need for that. Would you mind if I wandered around a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru suddenly felt his head throbbing. "...I'll have someone send the things over right now."

"oh."

……

No sooner had Bone returned to the lounge than Kabuto brought him over, demonstrating his exceptional efficiency in preventing Bone from wandering off.

Because of the fact that Ainz always inexplicably wanted to kill him, Kabuto hurriedly left after bringing the person over, in order to avoid staying in Ainz's sight as much as possible.

Ainz Ooal Gown snapped out of his daze and saw the person left behind as a sacrifice. "You are... Tos' Anvil?"

At this moment, Tos's hands and feet were bound. Although the cloak did not cover his mouth, he did not speak. Instead, he knelt on the ground with his head down in silence, knowing that begging for mercy here would be meaningless.

Upon hearing Ainz's question, Toshin slowly raised his head and hesitated before asking, "You know me?"

Good heavens, it really is him. At this moment, the bandages on Tos's head have been reduced, revealing some black hair, which dispelled my previous guess that he was bald. As for why I suspected he was bald, back then, "Six Paths Tos" wasn't called that for nothing.

The poor kid got caught after all. Although with his strength, he couldn't really escape much. Bone Lord ignored him and instead used his bone blade to cut the ropes binding him before asking, "Do you want to leave here?"

Unsure of the person's thoughts, Toshen subconsciously flexed his wrist, and cautiously asked, "Could you take me away from here?"

Bones shook his head. "I won't take you away, but I can get Orochimaru to release you."

"..." Compared to the inevitable death he faced before, this was undoubtedly a turn of events, which was a good thing. Toshen didn't foolishly ask why. Maybe others just suddenly found him pleasing to the eye or felt sorry for him. If he asked, they might find it troublesome and kill him.
