Chapter 260 Trading with Kimimaro, the Gluttonous Tanuki
"Lord Kimimaro, are you...are you alright?!"
In the treatment room filled with medical equipment, Sakon was a little confused as Kimimaro slowly got up and removed all his restraints.
Just a moment ago he seemed to be in a final burst of energy and about to die, but how come he's suddenly jumping out of bed again after just one injection?
Are Kabuto's injections really that powerful?
"Hmm, I have things to do, you don't need to follow me." Kimimaro glanced at the four of them indifferently, then ignored them and walked out of the room.
Although the four were full of doubts, they exchanged glances and fell silent in fear of Kimimaro's power.
It's better to avoid trouble; they didn't want to risk being taught a lesson by that guy for questioning the other party.
But beneath Kimimaro's expressionless face, hidden deep within his eyes, gleamed a strange light, a mixture of trepidation and excitement.
"I can make a deal with you for Lord Orochimaru's sake. However, I must ask Lord Orochimaru for final approval on this matter. Also, the Hashirama cells you requested are not here, and I don't know where the cloned horns of the Eight-Tails are."
Ishikawa? ?
If you have nothing, what are you going to offer me in this deal?
For a moment, Ishikawa felt an urge to unleash his full power and destroy Kimimaro.
"Besides, I won't easily believe your so-called cure. If you think it's okay, I'll use my cursed seal as an exchange for one treatment." Kimimaro paused, seemingly realizing he had gone a bit too far, before continuing.
In his view, even if the so-called treatment is effective, it will not be a quick fix, but rather require several courses of treatment.
He was willing to take the risk of exchanging a cursed seal for a chance to be healed.
"A cursed seal??" Upon hearing this, Ishikawa's spirit paused slightly, and the urge to erupt instantly subsided.
This seems like an opportunity!
Let's use Kimimaro, this test subject who came to us, to see if the doorknob can cure the bloodline disease, and also to see if it can eliminate the side effects of the cursed seal.
If possible, it would be a win-win situation, as it would both enhance his strength and give his underlings a little boost.
If that's not possible, then the period of unconsciousness after being electrocuted by the doorknob will be the perfect opportunity for him to steal information from Kimimaro's head.
As for the fragments of Orochimaru's consciousness contained within the cursed seal? Heh, is that a problem in the face of the Spirit Transformation Technique?
He's not losing out either way! Just do it...
Well, the only thing I'm sorry about is that I couldn't deliver the eight-tailed ox horns I promised Shukaku.
Honestly, he was waiting for Shukaku to absorb that bull horn to see if it could evolve into a one-horned Shukaku, but it never expected to be stillborn...
"We're here, this is it." While pondering, Kimimaro had already arrived at a secret room, formed hand seals to break the seal, and entered the laboratory filled with colorful bottles and jars.
Instantly, Ishikawa was drawn to the exaggerated variety of experimental subjects, including some humanoid monsters that were half-human and half-beast.
Through Kimimaro's eyes, they quickly arrived at an experimental table displaying various medicines.
"Wait, I want five copies of the Heavenly Curse Seal." Suddenly, Ishikawa looked at the syringes and made an exorbitant demand.
Whether it's useful or not, let's take five copies first.
This is a power that can threaten the Otsutsuki clan, so Kakashi-sensei and Karin must also have a share.
"No, at most two Earth Seals." Kimimaro paused, his face grim as he hesitated for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and giving in. "If you don't agree, then let's do it!"
The Heavenly Curse Seal is a special curse seal that even he himself has not been injected with, so how could it be here?
Even if he did have one, he wouldn't give it away easily.
"Okay, but I need two sobering pills." Seeing Kimimaro's firm attitude, Ishikawa didn't press him and went along with it.
Anyway, he won't be able to get anything after he reads Kimimaro's memories. And at that time, the hierarchy between them will be instantly reversed.
"I hope you will keep your promise, Mitarashi Ishikawa." Upon hearing this, Kimimaro secretly dispersed the chakra that was about to erupt, and quickly took out two syringes and two small black vials.
Under Ishikawa's silent gaze, Kimimaro's chest bone emerged, encasing the medicine bottle within and storing it safely inside his body.
"Well then, we can set off now!" With the plan half completed, Ishikawa smiled and urged Kimimaro to head out of the village.
Kimimaro, having made up his mind, did not refuse and, ignoring the doubts of the four, unilaterally left Otogakure.
After walking several miles, Ishikawa left Kimimaro's body and re-controlled the White Zetsu to use the Disguise Technique to transform back into his original form. He then arranged a time and place with Kimimaro before leaving to prepare.
"Ah, no, what are you doing??" After speeding all the way to Shukaku's location, Ishikawa was speechless when he saw Shukaku's bulging belly.
In particular, that greedy raccoon dog with its mouth dripping with oil, looking like a starving ghost.
"Ugh...no, damn it, who stuffed this garbage into my mouth..." Shukaku, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly tried to explain, about to throw away the food in his hand.
Damn, how come this guy is back so soon?
"Alright, come with me." Ishikawa didn't waste any words and simply reached out and pulled Shukaku away.
Shukaku breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ishikawa wasn't paying much attention. He couldn't bear to throw away the food in his hand, so he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm, human food is indeed quite good.
Damn it, what kind of bland and tasteless life did it lead for the previous thousand years...?
"Twins? It's been so long since I've seen such identical customers!" Watching the two figures leave, the shop owner smiled and saw them off; these two had patronized his business quite a bit today.
Ishikawa was unaware of all this. He quickly led Shukaku to a clinic in Shukuba Town, disguised himself briefly, and then dispelled the spirit transformation technique, returning to his original form to wait for Kimimaro to come.
Nothing happened that day, and Kimimaro arrived as scheduled in the middle of the night the next day.
"Let's begin, first is the preoperative anesthesia."
"Right here?" Kimimaro hesitated as he looked at the simple operating room, but knowing that his body wouldn't last much longer, he gritted his teeth and lay down.
Without any hesitation, Ishikawa immediately injected Kimimaro with an overdose of anesthetic that he had prepared in advance.
After a brief two-minute wait, once again summoning White Zetsu to abduct Kimimaro after he fell into a deep coma, they returned to Konoha without stopping.
He then returned and brought his main body back to the opening gate, but this time he did not allow Shukaku to come out and control his body.
"It's begun. What happens next is no longer up to you, Kimimaro." Looking at the unconscious Kimimaro, Ishikawa chuckled and placed Kimimaro's right hand on the doorknob.
As the familiar electric shock spread throughout Kimimaro's body, Ishikawa opened his red eyes to observe carefully, while the 500cc blood collection bag in his hand was ready to be used.
If the doorknob could truly cure hemophilia, how could Ishikawa so easily let go of this treasure trove right before his eyes?
While the Corpse Bone Pulse technique was a bit too much to dream of, Ishikawa wouldn't refuse the chance to strengthen his bones and make his body stronger.
Hmm, if we can afford it, we'll get a few more bags of bone-strengthening supplements for Xiao Li too.
He only managed to unleash five attacks before his leg bone shattered, resulting in a 500-episode ban. His constitution is just too fragile...
