"Tell me about this transaction. If it can truly satisfy me, then there's naturally no problem."
Orochimaru showed an intrigued expression upon hearing Li Chuan's words.
At least one thing he could confirm so far was that this Prince Junior Brother indeed carried a lot of useful information in his head.
Li Chuan drained the tea in his cup, then looked at Orochimaru and said,
"I know you want Sasuke's body because you hope to obtain powerful Sharingan power like Itachi Uchiha. And I happen to know some information about the Sharingan, as well as information about the Rinnegan of Pain, the Leader of the Akatsuki Organization you once joined."
"You even know information about the Akatsuki Organization? That is somewhat beyond my expectations."
A sharp glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
But Li Chuan merely smiled slightly:
"I told you, I know much, much more than you imagine. I even have a clear understanding of the information of every official member within the Akatsuki Organization, including their ultimate goals and so on.
So your transaction and cooperation with me can be very long-term, and you will absolutely not suffer a loss."
"Very well, then what do you want to get from me?"
Orochimaru's tone carried a hint of curiosity.
What a wealthy Prince, who possessed so many secrets and many strange Ninjutsu, wanted to obtain from him was something that greatly piqued his curiosity.
"Ninjutsu, I need two of the Ninjutsu you created yourself."
Li Chuan replied.
Orochimaru paused for about three seconds:
"It seems you and I are the same kind of person. Alright, but it depends on how valuable your information is before I can decide what Ninjutsu to give you. After all, the Ninjutsu I created cannot be compared to ordinary Ninjutsu."
Previously, Li Chuan had sought information about the sealing scroll from him. Now, he wanted the Ninjutsu he had created himself. It seemed the other party was also someone obsessed with Ninjutsu, just like him.
Li Chuan nodded. What he wanted most right now was Orochimaru's Soft Physique Modification Technique. Other things could be put aside for now.
This technique shouldn't be particularly valuable to Orochimaru, at least not comparable to the Reanimation Jutsu. He believed Orochimaru shouldn't refuse, and the information he was providing was already very valuable.
"First, let's talk about the Sharingan. You should be clear about most of the information, including the process of awakening it. However, there is one point you might not be clear about, and that is the highest realm of the Sharingan is not the Mangekyo Sharingan, but the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
"This is the first time I've heard that."
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed.
He had always thought the Mangekyo Sharingan was the strongest, like the former clan head of the Uchiha Clan, the famous Shisui the Teleporter, and Itachi Uchiha, who had defeated him with his Mangekyo dōjutsu.
But he had truly never found any information about the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in Konoha's records before.
"Although the Mangekyo Sharingan has immense power after being awakened, it also places a huge burden on the body. Prolonged use not only wears down the body, but also eventually leads to complete loss of sight, which is why it is also called the 'Cursed Eyes'.
The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan not only has far greater dōjutsu power than the Mangekyo, but also doesn't cause any burden on the body and can be used continuously.
So far in the history of the entire Ninja World, only the legendary Uchiha Madara has awakened it.
It was precisely because of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that Uchiha Madara had the strength to contend with the First. As for the method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo…"
At this point, Li Chuan deliberately paused, keeping him in suspense.
And Orochimaru was clearly very interested in this information, so even though he knew Li Chuan was doing it on purpose, he still asked,
"You know the method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo?"
"Of course. Senior Brother, do you think this information of mine is valuable?"
Li Chuan smiled.
Orochimaru grinned:
"Extremely valuable, if it's true."
"The method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo is actually not difficult. It is to transplant another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan and combine them into one, which can achieve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, remember one thing, the closer the blood relation, the higher the success rate of the transplantation. Uchiha Madara back then transplanted his brother's eyes."
After Li Chuan finished speaking, he saw Orochimaru's emotions clearly rising, so he continued,
"And to obtain the Rinnegan, which is even stronger than the Sharingan and the same as the Sage of Six Paths, you need to merge the power of the ultimate Yin Release Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with the power of the ultimate Yang Release Wood Release. After decades of nurturing, it is possible to birth a powerful Rinnegan!"
"According to what you say, then how does Pain have the Rinnegan? He is not a member of the Uchiha Clan."
Orochimaru clearly showed a hint of suspicion towards this information from Li Chuan, or perhaps he was just using this to probe Li Chuan.
And Li Chuan didn't mind answering:
"Of course he is not a member of the Uchiha Clan, so that pair of eyes does not belong to him. Someone transplanted their own eyes onto him."
"You mean Uchiha Madara! Impossible, he was killed by the First at the Valley of the End back then. This is something everyone knows."
Orochimaru was very intelligent. Following the information Li Chuan provided, he instantly thought of Uchiha Madara.
Because Li Chuan had said that currently in the entire Ninja World, only Uchiha Madara had the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, so the only one who could evolve the Rinnegan could possibly be Uchiha Madara.
But this would mean that Uchiha Madara did not die in the battle at the Valley of the End, which contradicts history.
In Konoha's records, the body of Uchiha back then was personally handled by the Second Hokage, and there were no other suspicious records.
"Senior Brother, do you not know that the Sharingan has a forbidden jutsu called Izanagi, which can be used to revive at the cost of losing one eye?
Furthermore, do you think that if Uchiha Madara were killed, given the Second Hokage's personality, would he not keep Uchiha Madara's body for research?"
Li Chuan's two questions instantly made Orochimaru stand frozen on the spot. He then understood that what Li Chuan said was most likely not fabricated, but very likely true.
He knew the Second Hokage's personality very well, a Ninja who, like him, was extremely fond of researching and developing forbidden jutsu.
He thought for a moment, if he were the Second Hokage, would he properly bury Uchiha Madara according to the First Hokage's command? How could that be possible.
The body of the strongest Uchiha person was the best material for researching the Sharingan. He couldn't possibly leave it buried in the ground.
Similarly, how could the Second Hokage, who was similar to him, do such a thing? This indicates that this record definitely has problems.
"Then is Uchiha Madara still alive? And why would he give his already evolved Rinnegan to Pain?"
"Oh, that does not belong to the information content of this transaction. That is a different price. After you first pay for this price, if there is a chance to cooperate next time, I can give you that information."
Li Chuan shrugged.
