"Beep beep beep..."
The machine ran quickly. Orochimaru watched intently, recording the Chakra changes inside the snake and Hidan.
Orochimaru was very interested in Hidan's technique, 'Blood Ritual'. He was a Ninjutsu addict, and there was no Ninjutsu he didn't want to learn.
But even with his knowledge and wide range of interests, he had to admit that there were many Ninjutsu in the ninja world that he couldn't learn.
It wasn't that the effect was bad after learning them, but that he simply couldn't learn them at all.
Leaving aside Bloodline Limits, and excluding S-rank forbidden techniques like 'Spiritual Transformation Technique', there were things like the Nara clan's 'Shadow Secret Techniques'.
——Without needing hand signs, they could control shadows to steal an enemy's ability to move.
Orochimaru really wanted such strong control, but even if he got rid of the Nara clan's obstacles, it would still be difficult to even begin learning it.
His talent was in his mind, in being able to understand 'techniques'.
This kind of Chakra control that couldn't be broken down into 'twelve basic hand signs' was beyond his ability to learn.
'Blood Ritual' and 'Shadow Imitation Technique' were the same in that they could be activated directly without hand signs.
In other words, the brain gave the command, and the body cooperated unconditionally and perfectly. How the process happened was a mystery to onlookers, but the person himself could only explain it with three words: "by feel".
Orochimaru: (⊙⊙)?
This made Orochimaru want to curse.
Of course, that was in the past.
When chatting with the Lamp God, the other party had said,
"There was no Ninjutsu in the ninja world to begin with. The 'twelve basic hand signs' were developed by Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, to teach others. There's no need to treat them as the final rule."
"If you really think there are limitations to explaining Ninjutsu with the 'twelve basic hand signs', then try to improve on them."
"Tsk tsk... you're standing on the shoulders of a giant, isn't it easy?"
Orochimaru: (⊙⊙)??
To be honest, he was also standing on the shoulders of a giant. In fact, it could be said that in the current ninja world, he was standing at the peak of 'mortals', a ninja who had mastered many 'techniques'.
But there was one very important point: he was different from Indra.
The Sage of Six Paths' eldest son had first learned Ninjutsu, and then used 'twelve hand signs' to explain it. Orochimaru was different.
The difficulty of explaining things within his ability and explaining things outside of his ability was worlds apart.
At least for now, he could only put aside these kinds of Nnjutsu that he couldn't learn, focusing on observation and recording.
"..."
Hidan moved very quickly. After completing the ritual, he laughed wildly, "Next, I'll let you experience the power of the Evil God!"
"Wait... don't be in such a hurry." Orochimaru licked his lips.
As he expected, 'Blood Ritual' should belong to Yin Release secret techniques, falling into the category of 'creating form from nothing'. The Chakra on the snake and Hidan was becoming similar. The instruments showed that the Chakra wave curves were becoming identical.
Interestingly, it wasn't that Hidan was assimilating the snake, but that he was actively approaching the snake.
Many thoughts popped into his head. Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and he smiled at Hidan, who looked impatient, "You can start now."
"You're so slow..."
Hidan couldn't wait any longer. He took out a kunai and slashed it across his thigh.
With a hiss, a wound also appeared on the lower side of the snake's body.
"...That's interesting."
Orochimaru saw clearly that the moment Hidan cut his thigh, the Chakra in the snake's body also fluctuated, creating a wound on its own body out of nowhere.
"Should this be classified as a Genjutsu?"
From a theoretical point of view, that seemed perfectly reasonable, but even the most advanced Genjutsu could only manipulate the flow of Chakra in the enemy's brain nerves, at most causing mental damage. He had never heard of it working in reverse to affect the body.
While Orochimaru was thinking, Hidan made a series of cuts on his own body.
These wounds were nothing to him, and he didn't even bleed much, but the snake was tortured terribly, on the verge of death.
"The snake's voice isn't pleasant to hear at all."
Hidan quickly lost interest. He stabbed himself in the heart and simply gave the snake a quick end, turning his gaze to Orochimaru, his eyes filled with clear malice.
Under Hidan's gaze, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Orochimaru's face, "Want to try it?"
"What?" Hidan didn't understand.
Orochimaru took out another kunai, made a clear cut on his arm, and tossed it over.
Hidan caught the bloodied kunai and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by this?"
Hidan had never seen such a fool who would put his life in the hands of others.
"As you see, I want to try the strength of the Evil God." Orochimaru smiled, an eager expression on his face.
Hidan looked at the wound on Orochimaru's arm, then at the kunai, and his expression began to brighten.
"Very well, since you want to try it, I'll give you this chance."
The silver-haired boy thought his performance just now had successfully attracted a powerful believer to the Evil God, so he naturally put in even more effort.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the blood from Orochimaru's kunai. Black and white colors appeared on Hidan's surface, and he spun, redrawing the magic circle.
He stared at Orochimaru, his eyes burning with passion, "Orochimaru, feel the power of the Evil God!"
To avoid harming Orochimaru's life, Hidan specifically chose to affect the arm less this time.
At the moment he stabbed himself, Orochimaru clearly felt a strange force invading his body, twisting the normal flow of Chakra. As expected, a wound identical to Hidan's appeared on his arm.
"Even I can't resist it?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, becoming even more excited. Green light emerged from his palm, erasing the wound.
"Your recovery ability is also amazing." Hidan clicked his tongue in wonder. In small countries like the Land of Hot Water, he had never seen any decent medical ninjas.
"These are all minor matters."
Orochimaru sized up Hidan, his eyes gleaming, "You can use 'Blood Ritual' while standing on this symbol. Are there any other requirements, like posture? Or if you are unconscious, will the Ninjutsu still work?"
"There's no requirement for posture, but I haven't tried being unconscious. If I can use this move, it means I'm sure to win."
Hidan asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking all this?"
"I just want to experience the power of the Evil God more fully."
Orochimaru smiled and took out the First Hokage cells transplant surgery equipment from the scroll one by one.
"You'll agree, right?"
