Orochimaru is lonely.
No one can truly understand Orochimaru's inner thoughts.
When everyone was trapped by their companions and relatives, Orochimaru had already left everyone far behind and was walking on the craziest path.
eternal life.
Only with eternal life can one pry into the truth of the entire Shinobi World and have enough time and energy to parse out endless knowledge.
"The soul space and time dedicated to the reincarnation ceremony has been established by me. As long as I want, I can locate it at any time and devour the soul..."
Orochimaru let out a crazy chuckle.
He threw out a snake and bit the poor ninja to death on the spot.
Originally, according to his plan, he would not develop Living Corpse Reincarnation so quickly, but Genitsu and Kazue, two young bodies with unlimited potential, deeply stimulated him.
He couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't wait to give up his current aging body and take possession of a younger body.
"Hmph, in order to develop Living Corpse Reincarnation, I have temporarily put aside the research on Curse Mark... and the village must have noticed that something is wrong."
Orochimaru licked his lips and finally walked out of the laboratory again after many days.
Breathing the outside air.
"Hmph, Orochimaru, you have gone too far. The third and fourth generations have already targeted you."
Danzo stood outside the laboratory, looking at Orochimaru with a cold face.
His body was still covered in bandages, as if his body had not improved.
Orochimaru sneered, "So what, now, do you think I still care about this? Still care about the village?"
"... Indeed, for you, a poisonous snake, these external things are worthless. But I want to warn you that even if you end up breaking up with the third and fourth generations, you are absolutely not allowed to reveal my affairs to others."
Danzo slowly raised his head, with a crack in his terrifying eyes. "Otherwise, I will kill you here without the third and fourth generations taking action."
"I have a right hand, and I speak with a strong voice... I understand, even if I leave the village, I still need your help, right? Cooperation is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option for the two of us." Orochimaru spoke hoarsely.
These two guys are both old and shady, so naturally they won't mix in boring things like Will of Fire.
Just run for profit.
After a long time, Danzo nodded slightly with satisfaction, raised his right hand slightly, and slowly lowered it. "That's good, I will be your source of information and help in Konoha... Remember what you said! Otherwise, I will lead my disciples, and Shinobi World will find you and kill you."
Danzo snorted coldly, turned and left.
The sound of the crutches hitting the ground slowly came out and gradually faded away in the dark underground passage.
The light bulb Flash Strike Flash Strike flickers on and off.
Orochimaru stood there for a long time, then stretched out his long tongue and flicked it, with a look of obsession on his face.
"Danzo, after mastering the Wood Release and Sharingan Bloodline Limit abilities, my mentality has expanded. This old guy even thinks he can suppress me..."
Orochimaru made a weird laugh.
However, there was indeed a hint of fear in his eyes.
If Danzo really masters Izanagi and has ten eyes on his body, he can take a batch of eyes with him, plug and play...
Even if he is as strong as Orochimaru, he will still feel a headache. He has no idea how to kill Danzo and can only rely on time to delay it.
In the end, even if he can kill Danzo, he is afraid that his Chakra will be exhausted, and his combat power will drop to the lowest point.
"What a cunning old man, you actually want to bring your disciple to hunt me down? What a pity, your disciple may not be your disciple, maybe he will become a part of me!!"
Orochimaru smiled lowly, raised his feet, and walked slowly out of this long and complicated laboratory.
Finally, I stood on the street of Konoha.
The crowds were coming and going, and everyone's face was filled with smiles that could not be concealed, confident and full of hope.
Shinobi World The first great ninja village, the village is prosperous, strong people gather, and it has won many battles against the outside world. This has caused the people in the whole village to have a different spirit.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Some villagers recognized Orochimaru and immediately bowed and said hello with respect and awe on their faces.
Sannin, from Second Shinobi World War to now, has always been an important pillar of the village.
Orochimaru also nodded slightly in response, which flattered some villagers.
"Lord Orochimaru has always been like this. Even when he treats civilians he doesn't know, he is very polite." A villager sighed, looking at Orochimaru's retreating figure with respect.
If there can be such people to protect the village, the prosperous Konoha will never be in decline, right?
Everyone believes deeply.
However, these simple villagers did not realize what was about to happen.
They don't even know what Orochimaru will do next, exactly what it means.
"Even if the fourth generation comes to power, the tentacles of the third generation factions are everywhere, still dividing the power of the fourth generation. Ha, two ruling Hokages in one village... Under the illusion of prosperity, decay and erosion are covered up. There is no need to protect such a village."
Orochimaru Walking on the street, it really feels like going shopping, casually.
He was using his last precious time to observe all this from a perspective he had never had before.
Uh-huh!
A ninja named ANBU and Root had already set their sights on Orochimaru, and followed them cautiously from a distance.
But Orochimaru completely ignored their interest.
He found his target directly in a food store.
"This, this, and this... put a little more chili! The more, the better!"
"Oh, you're a girl who likes perverts and spicy things so much. Is that really okay?"
"Haha, what do you know? For me, perverted and spicy ones are the most fun."
Anko came out with a pile of meatballs, a look of satisfaction on his face.
She has lost her sense of taste and cannot taste sweet, sour, bitter, salty and other flavors. But if it's spicy, there's no problem, because spicy is essentially a feeling of pain.
This is also the only way Anko can taste the taste of food - add more chili peppers.
"Ah, Teacher Orochimaru! Why are you here?" Anko was startled, and hurriedly picked up the large and small bags in his hands, with a look of joy on his face, "I bought a lot of delicious food, not just meatballs, but also squid..."
"I've seen it all, but if you eat so much chili pepper, you might get acne on your face." Orochimaru's voice was low, with a coldness that was completely different from the past.
But the careless Anko didn't notice it. Just like in the past, she jumped up to Orochimaru, struggling to carry the food with one hand, and grabbed one of Orochimaru's hands with the other hand.
This is normal for Anko, they have always been like this in the past.
Her relationship with Orochimaru is closer than that of an ordinary master and apprentice, more like a father and daughter.
Orochimaru looked indifferent and was dragged all the way back home by Anko.
Anko carefully placed these foods and wanted to share them with her most respected teacher.
"..."
Orochimaru had no expression on his face. He stuck out his tongue and rolled it casually, eating a few strings of abnormal spicy meatballs into his stomach.
The smell... was terrible.
It's so bad that Orochimaru can't help but want to complain. He already hates sweets, and then he added countless layers of chili peppers to this sweet...
"Teacher, you like sweets very much on weekdays. It's good to change the taste occasionally..." Anko said happily.
Is there anything more joyful than this? Share your favorite things with the people closest to you.
Although she subconsciously felt that something was wrong with Teacher Orochimaru and seemed a little silent? But this is not a big deal.
finally.
Orochimaru spoke, "Anko, if I leave one day, what will you do?"
"Come on... let's go? Do you want to go on a mission? Come on... it's delicious... then I'll go too." Anko's cheeks bulged.
Orochimaru's eyes were cold. "It's not to carry out the mission, but to leave the village. This rotten village makes me feel sick. The new leaves can no longer cover the rotten trunks."
"Ah? Then the teacher plans to wander Shinobi World like a wandering monk?" Anko paused and said nonchalantly.
"Hehehe, Anko, that's all I've said. If you still don't understand, it would be a huge disappointment to me... With your wisdom, you already know what I plan to do, right?"
Orochimaru let out a deep laugh, "I decided to defect, leave this disgusting place, and chase what I want!"
Defect?
Anko The whole person was frightened as if struck by lightning.
Third Hokage's disciple, Orochimaru, one of Sannin, a hero who has made countless achievements for Konoha... Want to defect?!
"Why!! Is it because of Fourth Hokage? Because you didn't become Fourth Hokage and were given to by a junior..."
"No, I don't care about this kind of thing. The mere position of Fourth Hokage cannot restrain me."
Orochimaru ate the last bunch of meatballs, and it was so spicy that his whole tongue couldn't help but flick it out, and it was so red that he had never eaten such a damn thing in his life.
"So, Anko, do you want to come with me? You have to make a serious decision. You are only 12 years old. Every decision can affect your future decades later."
Orochimaru stretched out his hand to Anko.
Anko trembled all over and looked at Orochimaru's hand blankly.
As long as she is willing to stretch out her hand and put it on the palm that brought her warmth in the past, she can still have Orochimaru as a teacher.
The price is that she also has to defect... to defect from this village? Leave this village with countless delicious food and countless companions?
"... No, I will not leave with you, absolutely not! I will also prevent you from defecting!"
Anko wiped away the tears on his face.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!
A poisonous snake suddenly pounced on Orochimaru, but was strangled to death by Orochimaru in an instant.
"What a pity. It seems that you still chose the village, but this is not beyond my expectation. Something like Will of Fire..."
Orochimaru smiled lowly, and the next moment, his neck suddenly stretched out, opened his mouth and bit Anko's neck fiercely.
Click!
Anko let out a shrill scream, and after Orochimaru retracted his head, three strange Tomoe appeared on Anko's neck.
There was a creepy sizzling sound, and at the same time, a power that made Anko feel unfamiliar suddenly spread.
Powerful, but uncontrollable.
"This is the last thing I can leave you, Anko, make good use of it, don't die..."
Orochimaru had a weird smile on his face.
Heaven's Curse Mark.
Although he spent a lot of time developing Living Corpse Reincarnation, he inevitably lost some research time on Curse Mark.
However, the results accumulated before still exist, and it is not impossible to launch this unstable Heaven's Curse Mark reluctantly.
"This leaves another escape route... the combination of Living Corpse Reincarnation and Heaven's Curse Mark..."
Anko fell to the ground in pain. Before she passed out, she vaguely heard these words and fainted immediately.
There are a large number of strange runes on her body that are constantly crawling on her body, exuding a powerful aura.
Orochimaru opened the door and left, looking up at the sky outside.
Those ANBU and Root ninjas who were monitoring Orochimaru from afar did not find anything wrong for the time being, but it was only a matter of time.
This amount of time is enough for Orochimaru.
"Should I attack Genitsu first or Kazue first? It's really hard to decide..."
Orochimaru's eyes burst out with a terrifying evil light.
Nuclear Release Bloodline Limit, Mangekyō Sharingan Bloodline Limit, he wants them all.
However, considering Nuclear Release Bloodline Limit, and having to deal with an unknown Companion Beast... the risk seems higher.
"Huh, let's take Kazue's body first. This young body..."
Orochimaru licked his lips.
What, Kazue is a woman? What does it matter? Orochimaru doesn't care about such details at all.
Orochimaru walked on the street, sending out vague signals from time to time, looking for the whereabouts of Kazue.
Some people who looked like passers-by, but were actually Root ninjas, immediately appeared, interpreted and deciphered the codes, and then went to find out the whereabouts of Kazue.
"I can't see any problems for the time being..."
"Orochimaru behaves normally. He has dinner with his disciples and goes shopping, but he always feels that something is not right."
Anbu Ninja stood in the distance, staring at Orochimaru's every move.
They saw Orochimaru wandering to an area close to Uchiha Clan Compound.
Those members of Konoha Police Force will nod to show respect when they see Orochimaru.
Facing Orochimaru, no matter how arrogant they are, they will not show negative emotions towards Orochimaru.
Wait until Orochimaru goes away.
"Huh, this is the power of one of Sannin. It's really scary. I feel like I'm breathing faster."
"Orochimaru is really a powerful ninja, but if Lord Kazue also joins us Police Force, we naturally don't have to be afraid of him!"
"Well, I don't know why, but senior Kazue has no interest in joining Konoha Police Force at all. This seems to give the clan leader and elders some headaches."
"That's something that can't be helped. Ever since that clan meeting, when Lord Kazue activated the Mangekyō Sharingan Eye Technique to coerce the entire venue, no one dared to point fingers at her."
"This is the status that comes with power!"
Several Konoha Police Force clicked their tongues in admiration.
Suddenly, a captain frowned and looked into a corner.
He saw Anbu Ninja Flash Strike disappear.
"ANBU? Why do people from Hokage appear here..." The captain's heart skipped a beat, but he could never figure out the reason.
Orochimaru finally found the target.
Moreover, while moving forward quietly, they once passed by Kazue. From the beginning to the end, neither of them looked at the other party, as if the other party did not exist at all.
"Hmph, hey, you are really an interesting junior. Have you noticed something is wrong?"
Orochimaru's eyes were sinister as he walked back and forth on the busy street, quietly following Kazue's figure.
The two of them moved faster and faster, one behind the other.
Kazue looked expressionless, looking for a sparsely populated place, and finally came to a dilapidated trail.
"Orochimaru, what's the matter with following me for so long?" Kazue looked calm.
"Haha, I like you more and more. If it weren't for this kind of occasion, maybe we could become friends..."
In Orochimaru's eyes, the snake-like pupils stood up like needles, brewing with deep malice.
"Although I don't know what you are going to do, everything you do is destined to be in vain in front of my eyes."
Eyes slowly opened.
Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly appeared, and the terrifying pupil power exploded.
Just these eyes made Orochimaru show an intoxicated expression. "What beautiful eyes. If I had these eyes, they would definitely exude more brilliant colors."
Hidden Shadow Snake Limbs!
A large number of venomous snakes suddenly came out and entangled Kazue, tightening them tighter and tighter.
"I see, you are here for my Mangekyō Sharingan... Even you, one of the Sannins, are nothing more than a rat in the underground. You can only hide in the dark, hoping for things that you will never get."
As Kazue spoke, ribs suddenly appeared on her body surface, and the astonishing Chakra spread out, easily breaking the large number of poisonous snakes.
Orochimaru sneered, "This is Susanoo... But don't get too carried away, kid! There are still many things you don't know!"
Click, click, click!
Orochimaru's mouth became wider and wider, and suddenly, a strange long sword was wrapped around his tongue, and he stabbed it in an instant.
Bang!
This incredibly sharp samurai sword, under the full control of Orochimaru, suddenly collided with Susanoo's ribs.
"This level of sharpness is no ordinary weapon..."
Kazue glanced down.
This weapon is probably...Kusanagi Sword? Well, it seems that Genitsu-san once talked about this weapon, so he just grabbed it and gave it to Genitsu-san.
Uh-huh!
A skeleton arm suddenly grabbed out and held the Kusanagi Sword tightly.
At this time, Orochimaru took action again with a sneer on his face.
Ninja Technique·Myriad Snake Formation!
The ground suddenly sunk, and countless big snakes came out crazily. With a sudden explosion, they surrounded Kazue. These big snakes of different sizes tightly wrapped around Kazue, as if they were holding a... snake burial!
"I need to get rid of you as soon as possible, otherwise the village will notice this place... You will be relieved, kid."
Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and his whole head seemed to be torn apart. The next moment, a huge White Phosphorus Snake suddenly came out of Orochimaru's mouth.
"Come on, give me your body!"
This White Phosphorus Snake roared hoarsely, opened its mouth wide, and bit hard. It looked like it was going to completely devour Kazue!
