In the underground training ground of Sound Ninja Village, Karin was fighting back and forth with Tayuya of Sound Five.
Since both of them are pretty girls, the battle looks quite pleasing to the eye.
More than two months have passed since the two energies of Nian and Chakra were fused at the same time. Karin has obviously got rid of the initial state where it was difficult just to stand, and can already skillfully use Nen abilities and Chakra to carry out simple battles.
But the problem is that she is not willing to draw too much at once, otherwise the fragile balance will be broken, and the Chakra in the meridians will start to lose control and go berserk.
Therefore, whenever Nen abilities is consumed to a certain extent, a part of Chakra must also be consumed.
Tayuya quickly figured out this weakness and placed the sharp kunai on the opponent's neck.
"That's enough! Let's call it a day." Orochimaru gave the order to terminate the battle directly.
Because the purpose of this kind of battle is not to determine the winner or loser, or who is stronger, but to exercise Karin's control over the two energies and accelerate the process of internal mutation of his body.
To be precise, due to frequent attacks from the rampaging Chakra, Karin's meridians doubled in thickness in just one month.
This means that if she uses the same taijutsu or ninjutsu, the damage and power she can cause will be twice that of a normal ninja.
If combined with the power of Nian Nian, even just one punch can cause considerable damage.
In addition, the additional defense provided by Nian is something that most ninjas do not have.
At least until you learn defensive ninjutsu like Lightning Style Armor that can cover the whole body, there is not much difference between ninjas and ordinary people. They will bleed and die just as much if they are hit by a sword.
"Orochimaru Master!"
Karin bowed respectfully to the extremely dangerous rebellious nin before him.
She had seen with her own eyes the blood and cruelty of the Sound Ninja terror selection system, and was well aware of the terror of the snake-like guy in front of her.
"You are making rapid progress! I believe that when Allen-kun comes back, it should be of some use. But before that, there is a small question. Have you developed your own Nen abilities?" Orochimaru asked meaningfully.
Karin quickly shook his head. "No! Your Majesty forbids me to test attributes before he comes back, let alone develop any abilities."
"Oh? Really, that's such a pity."
As he spoke, Orochimaru stretched out his fingers and condensed a snake made of thoughts on his fingertips.
Undoubtedly, after confirming that the power of consciousness was not very dangerous, he decisively tried it on himself.
However, the current level is only at the experimental stage.
Like Allen, at least until the experimental subject completely controls this power, he does not intend to take risks with this body.
"When will the adults come back?" Karin raised his head with expectant eyes.
Orochimaru smiled and replied, "It should be soon. After all, he just went back to Konoha to report the progress of the mission to Danzō, and get some things he was interested in by the way."
At the same time, far away in Land of Fire Konoha Village, Ninja Academy once again ushered in the graduation season.
The teenage boys and girls are accepting the final Graduation Exam one by one under the supervision of the teacher, which feels a bit like the high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination.
Because once you fail the assessment, you will be sent back to the Ninja Academy to be reinstated.
Not only will you lose face in front of your classmates, but you will also be laughed at by your backstabbers.
At this moment, Allen was standing in the shadow not far away, silently watching all this happen.
"Are you sure that the guy named Mizuki is the spy planted by Orochimaru in the village?" The leader, who was also standing in the dark, lowered his voice and tried to confirm the news again.
"Of course! One hundred percent sure! If nothing else happens, after the exam is over, he will encourage Naruto Uzumaki who cannot pass to steal Scroll of Seals." Allen gave a straightforward affirmative answer.
At the moment, he is wearing the unique mask of Root Organization and carrying the captured long knife behind his back. If he is not particularly familiar with it, he will not be able to recognize him at all.
"Hmph! Although he is Jinchuriki of Nine-Tails, can a just graduated genin steal Scroll of Seals?" A disdainful sneer appeared on Danzō's face.
"What if Third Hokage helps again? Don't forget, he has always felt quite guilty about Naruto Uzumaki." Allen reminded with a chuckle.
Although he himself doesn't like or dislike the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki much, he is really disgusted with the double standard of Third Hokage.
Look at those ninjas who came from civilian backgrounds. They ask their grandfather to tell their grandma to learn ninjutsu. At best, they can only learn a C-level or B-level ninjutsu.
But what about Naruto?
Third Hokage just threw the whole Scroll of Seals to him, and he could choose what he wanted to learn.
Even if it's for compensation, it can't be so blatant, right?
All he had to do was have the words "I just want to cheat Naruto Uzumaki" carved on his face.
I have seen a lot of double-labeled dogs Allen, but Third Hokage is the first to be so shameless.
To put it bluntly, this is a typical public instrument for private use.
What did he take for the strict system that every ninja in the village had to abide by?
Butt paper?
Danzō was undoubtedly aware of this, with a terrifying cold light flashing in his eyes. After a full minute, he asked, "Then what are you going to do? Use this matter as an excuse to oust him directly?"
"No! We can't use this matter as an excuse because they have already found the scapegoat Mizuki. But we can make Third Hokage severely embarrassed. Just imagine, if the most important Scroll of Seals in the village E was stolen, and Anbu failed to recover it in time, but was snatched back by our roots. So how will other people view this matter?" Allen raised the corner of his mouth with a sinister smile.
"I'm afraid everyone will think that Third Hokage is too old and confused to protect the village's secrets well." After some thought, the group leader figured out the benefits of doing so.
In short, it is to first weaken the little remaining prestige of Naruto.
Allen nodded slightly. "That's right! And not only that, I can also take the opportunity to make a copy of Scroll of Seals's content and give it to you to take charge of. With the forbidden techniques recorded in it, I believe it will greatly strengthen Gen's strength."
"Very good! Then go ahead and do it! But be careful when copying Scroll of Seals, don't let anyone catch you." Danzō warned in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I promise to handle this matter beautifully so that everyone can see the ugliness of Third Hokage."
After saying this, Allen disappeared instantly.
Danzō also glanced at Sasuke Uchiha who had just received the forehead protector, then turned around and left quietly.
