Chapter 52: Apostle's Eye
The [Ramil Apostle Core] was used to upgrade reconnaissance-type equipment. This item was originally a component dismantled from such equipment, and it was unknown where that violator had obtained it.
[Yes/No use Ramil Apostle Core.]
After a moment of hesitation, Su Xiao chose to use it.
Buzz~
The chip floated up, and at the same time, the [Havana Eye] also rose.
Gurgle, gurgle. The chip gradually dissolved, turning into a dark, black liquid metal that enveloped the Havana Eye.
Crack, crack.
The internal structure of the Havana Eye rapidly changed, with metal shavings flying. The main body of this fusion was not the Havana Eye; it was merely a carrier. The main body was the Ramil Apostle Core.
Modified and upgraded, the Havana Eye was unrecognizable in less than five minutes, its volume shrinking more and more.
Ignoring the changes to this reconnaissance equipment, Su Xiao took out the materials he had obtained from Orochimaru's laboratory and began to study them.
The more he studied these materials, the more Su Xiao felt that Orochimaru was a genius. Although these materials were not Orochimaru's core research, the research on the First Hokage's "Hashirama Cells" was very thorough.
At this point, Orochimaru had already realized the power of Hashirama Cells. These materials mentioned one person: Shimura Danzo.
Su Xiao suddenly thought, could this be the data Orochimaru obtained after helping Danzo integrate Hashirama Cells?
The more he read, the more certain Su Xiao became. This was the data Orochimaru got by using Danzo as a test subject, and Danzo was completely unaware of it.
The cooperation between the two had started long ago. After Orochimaru was expelled from Konoha, their cooperation was interrupted for a time. Later, due to Tsunade's rise and old man Danzo's failure in the village council election, their cooperation gradually became closer again.
"Oh? Hashirama Cells can temporarily enhance physical vitality?"
After seeing this passage in the materials, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. He thought of a possibility: could he bring Hashirama Cells into the Reincarnation Paradise for research and integrate this ability to temporarily enhance physical vitality into alchemical potions?
After all, the effect of alchemical potions was to temporarily enhance physical vitality and provide corresponding nutrients, allowing injuries to heal without overdrawing the body.
Su Xiao felt this method was very feasible, but where could he get Hashirama Cells? Would he have to rob a grave?
That idea was somewhat ridiculous. First of all, Hashirama's grave was in Konoha, and it was unknown how much of his body remained.
Hashirama was a bit unfortunate. After his death, his grave was visited by many people, such as Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, Orochimaru, Danzo, and others.
Truly, it had been looted again and again. Whether his corpse still existed was unknown.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking, an object floating in mid-air fell, and he raised his hand to catch it.
"Already modified? Surprisingly fast."
In Su Xiao's hand was a mechanical eye the size of a dragon's eye. The structure of the mechanical eye was very precise, and it seemed to have a transformation function.
Checking the attributes of the new equipment, Su Xiao's first Light Gold equipment appeared.

...
Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. He had guessed that Light Gold equipment would be strong, but he hadn't expected it to be this powerful, especially since this was still auxiliary equipment.
Leaving aside the other abilities, just the ability to mark enemies based on their strength was impressive. If Su Xiao encountered an enemy with a black light dot above their head, he would first determine how to retreat rather than rashly test the enemy's strength. This greatly increased his chances of survival.
According to the strength comparison, an enemy with a black light dot above their head meant Su Xiao would surely die if he fought them. He had encountered such enemies twice: once was the mechanical bull in the Akame ga Kill world, and the second time was the giant gorilla in the Fullmetal Alchemist world.
With Su Xiao's strength at those two periods, facing those two creatures would have been certain death.
Looking at the Aerial Guard ability, if Su Xiao rested in a derivative world, he could consume 120 Mana Points to activate this ability, preventing enemies from ambushing him during rest.
Although [Apostle's Eye] did not enhance Su Xiao's combat power, its value was very high. In his opinion, apart from Destiny Redemption, this equipment was the most precious.
Just as Su Xiao was about to test [Apostle's Eye], the space not far from him began to twist in a vortex pattern.
[Beep, unknown enemy approaching. Approach method: Dimensional space transmission. Distance: three meters.]
[Analyzing. Based on database intelligence, the incoming person's name is Uchiha Obito. Analyzing strength. Comparing enemy and ally strength...]
Only about an hour after Su Xiao arrived in the town, the buyer of that Sharingan had arrived.
"Ah la la, isn't this Senior Bai Ye? I'm A Fei."
A slightly playful voice came, and Obito, disguised as A Fei, appeared.
"You bastard."
Su Xiao looked at the ring on A Fei's hand. It was the ring that Scorpion had worn while alive.
"This? I accidentally became an official member. Now I'm teamed up with Mr. Deidara, hahaha."
Obito, disguised as A Fei, scratched his head, his tone full of pride.
"What are you doing here? Where's the leader?"
Su Xiao had contacted Tendo, not Obito. Directly contacting Obito would have been too obvious.
"Well, I'm here on behalf of the leader to get the Sharingan."
Obito extended his hand, signaling Su Xiao to hand over the Sharingan.
"Oh? What is the leader prepared to give in return? This is my personal gain."
Obito was trying to get something for nothing. Su Xiao naturally disagreed.
Within the Akatsuki organization, two people knew A Fei's identity: Nagato and Konan. However, Obito now claimed to be Uchiha Madara.
"This is a bit difficult. The leader only told me to get the Sharingan. What should I do?"
Obito began to play dumb.
"Even if Pain is the leader, he cannot pry into my personal property."
Su Xiao took out the test tube containing the Sharingan and squeezed it hard. With a crack, the test tube was covered in cracks, and the solution inside flowed out.
Obito's fist clenched under his sleeve, and the eye holes in his mask were pitch black.
"Since the leader has no sincerity, it's better to destroy it."
Su Xiao looked at Obito. The light dot above Obito's head was red, not black.
"Wait, let's talk this over. I really can't embezzle it, haha."
