Chapter 558: The Core!
The chip clattered to the table. It was small, mostly black in color, and had a coating of golden grainy bumps.
Su Xiao picked up the chip, and although it was very small, it weighed an indecent amount for its size.
[Core of the Apostle Ramir.
Quality: Pale gold.
Type: Accessory (Half).
Effect: Any item with detection features can be significantly improved with this core. This core can be applied to any quality item.

Description: Knowing the enemy's strength can make the battle easier.
Price: Cannot be sold/exchanged, if the owner dies, the new owner will be the one who first picks up this core..
Warning: If you start traveling in the void with this accessory, you will always be haunted by the apostles..]
Su Xiao looked at the item in his hand. This core was only one half of a once complete item, but unfortunately, where the other half could be found, Su Xiao had no idea.
Given the description of only this half, it was already safe to say that this item was amazing.
Unfortunately, the intruder had already died, but he was undoubtedly looking for the second piece of this accessory.
The only problem with this item was that when he started traveling through the void with this accessory, he might be hunted. The other party's strength was in question, so it would be best for now if he didn't shine a light on them right and left.
— Mr. Byakuya, was that your enemy? Orochimaru's voice was low and hoarse.
— Almost, " Su Xiao replied and put the chip back in his inventory.
— Then my part of the deal was done, let's talk about the potion, I was very interested in it.
Naturally, the two of them still didn't trust each other.
— In exchange for similar knowledge, " Su Xiao said, and his hand naturally dropped to the hilt of the Dragon Flash sword.
*Boom*
The iron door of the lab slammed shut, and Orochimaru licked his lips.
— Similar knowledge? Just as Orochimaru finished speaking, several large three-meter-long test tubes opened, and several naked men with expressionless faces came out of them.
— Mr. Byakuya, can we review the details of our deal?
— Review it? Su Xiao asked and smiled. Orochimaru, that sneaky snake, finally decided to show his fangs.
— How about exchanging one life for a potion and sharingan? Orochimaru said and grinned, while Kabuto Yakushi immediately disappeared behind him.
The door to the lab opened and a man and a woman walked in. The man had white hair. His shark fangs were particularly eye-catching, while the woman had long red hair and black-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of her nose.
They are Suigetsu and Karin, subordinates of Orochimaru.
— Suigetsu looked listless, as if he had just woken up, while Karin stood motionless in the doorway, looking at Su Xiao with a very strange look on her face.
Her pupils were actually trembling violently.
Karin glared at Su Xiao and whispered to Orochimaru:
— Master Orochimaru, this guy...
— Orochimaru looked a little displeased.
— This guy had killed countless people. His aura had already turned red. His aura is that of an executioner.
Su Xiao just stood there and sighed, but that sigh made Karin's hair stand on end.
— It's normal, ordinary people don't have the right to join Akatsuki.
— But...
Orochimaru signaled Karin to stop talking.
— Just keep an eye on him. What are you thinking, Mr. Byakuya?" Orochimaru was confident of his victory. He had revealed the location of his lab just for this opportunity — for the sake of getting Su Xiao trapped.
— Orochimaru, Akatsuki members usually work in twos, don't you wonder where my teammates are? Su Xiao asked.
— Orochimaru chuckled. — One of your partners was killed by a child and an elderly woman. As for Deidara, he is currently busy stitching his limbs together.
— So, don't you think it's strange that I have two partners??
— A group of three? Orochimaru muttered and thought about it. — Could it be that you...
— That's right, to be precise, I'm not Sasori and Deidara's partner, I'm the third member of all Akatsuki groups.
— Byakuya, this is Akatsuki spreading inside information, " a man's voice suddenly came from the corridor behind Suigetsu, causing Karin's pupils to narrow to the limit. She hadn't sensed anyone approaching them at all all this time.
— Uchiha Itachi! Orochimaru's face turned extremely cold and he quickly looked at the entrance.
Itachi in his signature Akatsuki outfit slowly walked forward, followed by Kisame.
— An illusion! Orochimaru exclaimed and looked at Karin carefully. Only now did he notice that Karin's chakra was very unstable.
Itachi's illusions were certainly some of the best in the Naruto world. The enemy was already in his illusion without even realizing it.
— As expected, the snake really took the bait. The sharingan worked very well as a bait — " Kisame said and laughed, then looked around at all the people present.
The situation changed from the original "ten to one" to " ten to three».
Su Xiao wasn't a member of Deidara's team to begin with. Nagato ordered him to temporarily become a member of this team and help with the capture of the tailed one.
Orochimaru's face fell, but after a while, he laughed. Orochimaru's body suddenly fell to the floor, and Itachi's sharingan immediately looked into Orochimaru's pair of snake eyes.
With a thud, Orochimaru's body fell to the ground. His pale skin began to crack rapidly and crumble to the ground.
It wasn't Orochimaru who was hiding under that skin, but an unknown shinobi.
Immediately, with a bang, Suigetsu turned into a puddle of clear water, which quickly seeped into the grates in the floor.
— This, this, this... Karin took a few steps back. She is a medical shinobi with perception skills, and as such, she couldn't be very good at escape techniques.
— Kisame didn't seem surprised by Orochimaru's escape, and neither did Itachi.
— Then I'll pretend I didn't see it, " Su Xiao said as he took out an apple and started eating it slowly. Itachi only released one attack. If it wasn't for his inaction, Orochimaru definitely wouldn't have been able to leave. As for why he didn't do anything, it didn't take much to think about — he still wanted to help Uchiha Sasuke grow up, and Orochimaru was part of his plan.
The dragon's flash slowly left the scabbard and Su Xiao immediately disappeared. When he reappeared, the blade of the sword was already stained with blood.
All of Orochimaru's test subjects died before they could move.
— So that's it, " Su Xiao said and squatted down in front of Karin, then took a big bite of the apple and chewed it carefully.
Karin was practically paralyzed. She didn't dare to do anything at all, for she wasn't stupid enough to try to do anything to someone who was standing in front of her right now. They were all real monsters, and her resistance would only make her feel more pain.
— Since she is Orochimaru's subordinate, let's kill her, " Kisame said and stepped forward, causing Karin to tremble.
— Wait, " Itachi said, and stepped forward. — It can be useful.
