I wanted to mention the 'dragon vein' and 'dragon vein' to Orochimaru, but considering that it was difficult to explain how he knew these secrets, Hinata hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't speak.

And looking at Orochimaru's demeanor, he doesn't seem to have much interest in artificial tailed beasts.

However, this is also normal, and for Orochimaru who has mastered the secret techniques of 'Yaki no Jutsu' and 'Flesh Regeneration', and is developing 'Immortal Reincarnation', Chakra is not a problem at all.

After weighing it for a moment, Hinata Kagami pleaded, "Orochimaru-sama, I don't know what price it takes to get information about the artificial tailed beast from you?" ”

Orochimaru looked at the Hyuga Mirror with interest: "I'm curious, why are you so obsessed with the artificial tailed beast?" Are there other reasons? ”

Hinata asked rhetorically, "Then why are you obsessed with forbidden arts?" I'm the same kind of person as you, and when it comes to research, you don't need a reason, you just need to be interested. ”

"This explanation doesn't convince me." After shaking his head, Orochimaru suddenly smiled, "Well, I also want to see what kind of monster you can make." ”

Hinata was overjoyed when she heard this: "You agreed?" ”

Orochimaru stretched out two fingers: "I will give you all the information, but there are two conditions." ”

"Speak!"

Orochimaru smiled, "First, the research results should be shared with me, and second, I want you to collect the information of all the members of the Shadow Division, including the old man's Shadow Guard." ”

Hinata, who had no room for bargaining, had to nod and agree.

During the night, Hinata retrieves all the information about the man-tailed beasts in the village from the one-eyed pit viper.

It can be inferred from this that Orochimaru had stolen most of the forbidden arts and research materials in the village before he defected, and this may be one of the reasons why the village leaders launched a bloody purge of Orochimaru's old department.

Spreading out the scroll that recorded the experimental data of the artificial tailed beast, Hinata only glanced at it slightly, and her brows furrowed tightly.

The complexity of the man-tailed beast far exceeded his previous expectations, there were more than seven hundred kinds of complex techniques alone, and many of them were so complex that even ninjas of the upper ninja level could not perform them.

In addition, artificial tailed beasts also have high requirements for their shells.

According to the information in the scroll, the village experimented with seventeen high-strength materials, and only one material, called 'purple clay gum', could barely carry a huge amount of chakra.

Purple mud gum is a specialty of the country of swamps, and it is a kind of gum that is located in the deepest part of the swamp.

Because of this, purple clay gum is difficult to mine, the production is scarce, and the price on the market is almost equal to gold, which is a very rare and expensive material.

I thought that the huge amount of chakra source was a problem in creating an artificial tailed beast, but after reading the information, Hyuga Mirror realized that from the technique to the material of the body, almost all of them are problems!

"It's no wonder that Shennong, who controls the remnants of the Empty Ninja Village, has only come up with a nondescript zero tail after so many years of tossing."

After sighing lightly, Hinata put away the scroll.

At the moment, whether it is the reserve of technology or the reserve of materials, the Hyuga mirror is far from enough, so in a short period of time, he simply does not have the ability to start the artificial tailed beast plan.

Early the next morning, Hinata Kagami rushed to the reporting location of the dark department.

After changing his new ninja credentials, he officially became a special shinobi in Konoha Village, and at the same time, he also officially joined the shadow department directly under the Hokage.

In the equipment warehouse, Hinata Kagami saw Kai and Shisui.

After saying hello to each other, the three of them carefully selected their equipment.

In front of the mask stand, Hinata took a fancy to an eagle-faced mask, put it on his face and tried the size, and felt that it was just right, so he chose this mask.

Kai opted for a generic dog-faced mask.

Shisui hesitated for a long time between the fox face mask and the cat face mask, and finally gave up the fox face mask, which looked too treacherous, and chose the relatively docile cat face mask.

In the Hokage's office.

Hinata Kagami, who had changed into dark costumes, Kai, and Shisui stood straight at the Hokage's desk.

The three generations looked the three of them up and down carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Yes, they are all very energetic, from now on, you will be added to the eleventh class of the dark department." ”

With that, the three generations gently clapped their palms.

A figure fell beside the three.

Miyo introduced, "This is Kakashi, and he will be the captain of your eleventh class. ”

Kakashi took off the fox face mask on his face and said indifferently to the three of them, "I'm Kakashi, please take care of me!" ”

All three of them also took off their masks and politely returned the salute to Kakashi.

"There's a tricky task right now." Tapping on the table with his pipe, Miyo continued: "A few days ago, the shrine maiden of the Oni Country sent a request to us Konoha to send someone to help them seal the exotic monsters that threaten the ninja world, and this is the first mission you have joined the Dark Division, mission level S! ”

When Hinata Mirror heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

Yesterday he just thought of the monster '魍魉', and today the third generation was assigned the task of sealing the monster, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or if the village noticed something.

The third generation stood up at this time, turned to look at the village outside the window, and said, "We don't know anything about the details of this mission, so you must rush to the country of ghosts as soon as possible to meet the shrine maidens of the country of ghosts." The country of ghosts may have sent a request to other ninja villages, so this mission may encounter ninjas from other villages, so you should be careful and try not to clash with ninjas from other villages. ”

The four of them said in unison: "Yes!" ”

The time was tight, the task was urgent, and the four of them didn't dare to delay, so after leaving the Hokage's office, they went directly out of the village and rushed towards the country of ghosts.

After leaving the village, Kai excitedly said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, I'm also shinobi, I've finally caught up with you!" ”

Kakashi replied weakly, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Kai didn't notice Kakashi's impatience at all, and continued to say happily, "Kakashi, you chase me like us, you are the real youth, when I think of this, I feel full of energy!" ”

Kakashi turned his head and glanced at the Hinata Mirror, who was slightly behind the group, and stopped the two of them while continuing to deal with Kai in his mouth, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

The second half of the line.

Noticing that Hinata seemed to be a little uneasy, Zhishui asked curiously, "Senior, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hinata shook her head: "It's nothing. ”

At this time, Hinata Mirror is indeed a little suspicious, he only met with Orochimaru yesterday and mentioned the matter about Chakra Yuan, and today he was sent to participate in the mission of sealing the dragon, which is really a coincidence.

However, he carefully recalled that it was at this time that the shrine maiden of the Oni no Kuni Kingdom had sealed the monster and died, leaving behind a next-generation shrine maiden Shion who was the same age as Naruto...
