Chapter 243 Wu's Reward, a Fragment of Words from Thousands of Years Ago
After witnessing Satoru escape back to the Box of Paradise, Orochimaru looked at Byakuya, his eyes seemed to say:
Chief Bai Ye, was our research successful or failed this time? It seems that the monster in the Box of Paradise did not help us realize our wish.

Bai Ye ignored Orochimaru's subtle look and walked straight towards the Box of Paradise.

He already had some guesses about the fear that Wu had just revealed. Perhaps it was because he had mastered the ability of Yin-Yang Escape, or perhaps it was because of the Asura blood in his body.

These abilities hidden deep within his body may have caused the Box of Bliss to mistake himself for an Ōtsutsuki.

After all, although Wu has the ability to perceive malicious intent, this ability is definitely mediated by chakra, and once chakra is involved, it is inseparable from Otsutsuki.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye had already arrived near the Box of Bliss and pressed his hand on it again.

After activating the talent of a ninja scientist, he has recorded Orochimaru's ninjutsu, and now he can open the Box of Paradise at will.

After once again injecting the same amount of chakra as the tailed beasts, Bai Ye used ninjutsu to open the Box of Paradise, then directly created a gap and jumped into the Box of Paradise.

Just as Bai Ye expected, the Box of Paradise looked to be only the size of a small wooden cabin, but there was something else inside, connecting to a small different space.

After entering the different space, Bai Ye quickly locked onto Wu's position. Black sticks emerged from his hands, and he walked towards the other party step by step.

In the absence of witnesses, he could unleash his full strength.

After seeing the black stick in Bai Ye's hand, Wu's heart sank. He recalled the fear of being dominated a thousand years ago.

After taking a deep breath, Wu, who had no way to retreat, launched an attack on Bai Ye.

Bai Ye did not dodge. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and his body transformed into several wooden clones, and then pounced towards Wu.

More than ten minutes later, the entire alien space was filled with towering trees, and Wu's body was pierced with black sticks, completely losing his ability to resist.

Although Wu's ability to sense malicious intent is very strong, it actually relies mainly on speed.

In the face of Bai Ye's Wood Release and the Black Stick, Wu was unable to take advantage of his speed at all. He was doomed to defeat the first time he was hit by the Black Stick.

At this moment, Wu's body suddenly changed. His whole body was like a piece of burnt paper that could be reduced to ashes at any time.

After a few seconds, Wu's body completely disappeared and turned into a ball of conscious chakra.

Bai Ye watched Wu struggle calmly. He was not worried at all that Wu would run away.

Wu's current form is similar to the nine tailed beasts, a ball of chakra with self-awareness, and the black stick can control the tailed beasts, so naturally it can also control Wu.

As native life forms in the Ninja World and the surrounding alien space, their life level is far inferior to that of the Otsutsuki from outer space.

After realizing that he couldn't escape, Wu transformed his eyes and said helplessly: "What do you Otsutsuki have to do to let me go?"

"Otsutsuki?" Bai Ye frowned. It seemed that Wu knew more than he thought.

After a brief pause, Bai Ye said, "What is Otsutsuki? What are you talking about? Today I am here to help you realize your wish for peace in the ninja world."

"To achieve peace in the ninja world..." Wu fell silent. He really had no other choice.

Seeing that Wu was unwilling to speak, Bai Ye added the black stick and continued, "You haven't answered my question yet? What exactly is Otsutsuki?"

Under Bai Ye's threat, Wu talked about the past history. It turned out that more than a thousand years ago, two Otsutsuki came to the Ninja World and asked them to plant a big tree in the center of the Ninja World in order to absorb the chakra of the planet.

Before planting the sacred tree, the two Otsutsuki began to hunt in the Ninja World to remove obstacles to the growth of the sacred tree.

Several years later, the male members of the Ōtsutsuki duo disappeared, and were replaced by female Ōtsutsuki, as well as Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura.

After he was sealed by Hagoromo, he didn't know much about the ninja world. After listening to Wu's answer, Bai Ye began to use threats and inducements to force Wu to join the Akatsuki organization.

Wu had no choice at all and could only agree to Bai Ye's conditions.

At this moment, Bai Ye's ears suddenly rang with an electronic sound, reminding him in an emotionless voice: [Satoru (Chakra Life) joined the Akatsuki organization, and you gained the ability to sense malicious intent. ]

[Satoru (Chakra Life) joined the Akatsuki organization, and you obtained the advanced instant body movement technique. ]

Bai Ye glanced at the reward this time. The ability to perceive malicious intent was quite good. Although he possessed the ability of Kagura's Mind's Eye, he had always been very weak in perceiving malicious intent. This reward could be regarded as filling the gap in this area.

As for the advanced teleportation technique, it should be the technique of teleportation, which is also of some use.

After receiving the reward, Bai Ye walked out of the Box of Paradise alone. After confirming that the Box of Paradise had its capacity limit, his enthusiasm for the Box of Paradise decreased a lot.

After seeing Byakuya walking out of the Box of Paradise, Orochimaru's expression became subtle.

There are only two possibilities for Bai Ye to escape from the Box of Paradise. One is that he never encountered the monster in the Box of Paradise at all, and the other is that he defeated Wu.

Orochimaru can basically rule out the former option.

After knowing Bai Ye's strength, he did not feel surprised that Bai Ye could defeat Wu, but he also began to wonder what was inside the Box of Bliss.
Bai Ye did not hide anything from Orochimaru and told him what was inside the Box of Paradise.

After learning that Byakuya easily defeated Satoru, Orochimaru sighed softly and shifted his gaze from the Box of Paradise to Byakuya.

Compared to the Box of Paradise, Orochimaru wants to know the secret of Byakuya more. His interest in Byakuya even exceeds Wood Release and Uchiha.

After Bai Ye encouraged him a few words and left the laboratory.

Orochimaru walked a few steps in the laboratory, then looked towards the location of the Box of Paradise, only to see a blood-stained branch on the ground near the Box of Paradise.

After picking up the branch calmly, Orochimaru sensed the chakra and confirmed that it was left by Bai Ye. His heartbeat began to accelerate.

There wasn't much blood on the branch, but it was enough for him to do some research.

If he could learn the secret of Bai Ye's power through research, he might be able to cultivate a vessel of Bai Ye's quality and perform the reincarnation technique.

Orochimaru has always wanted to push the limits of ninjutsu, but his weak body has become a burden to him, making his journey to push the limits of ninjutsu full of danger.

Only by obtaining a perfect body can he put aside all worries and devote himself to pursuing the ultimate secret of ninjutsu.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru grinned, as if he had already seen the day when the experiment would be successful.
