Carrying Pakura, they Teleportation to the intelligence outpost of the Land of Water.
Feeling the soft body of the beauty in his arms, Orochimaru carefully examined her.
Pakura, a powerful figure from Sunagakure, possesses an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai — Scorch Release.
According to Orochimaru's understanding, Scorch Release is a new nature transformation produced by combining Wind Release Chakra and Fire Release Chakra.
The intense heat can instantly evaporate all the moisture in the human body, killing anyone who touches it; its lethality is undeniable!
"This is somewhat similar to the energy within my body. I could study this change in quality!"
Looking at Pakura in his arms, Orochimaru seemed to be deep in thought.
If fireballs are a normal attack, then Scorch Release is the evolved version.
His attack power is far superior to the former. Pakura's ability to become a strongman in Sunagakure is largely due to his Kekkei Genkai.
Pakura's heart pounded as he sensed Orochimaru's eyes staring at him from behind his mask.
This mysterious expert rescued himself from a hail of swords and effortlessly dealt with his enemies.
And are they using Space-Time Ninjutsu now? That's unbelievable.
Space-Time Ninjutsu is extremely rare in the Ninja World, let alone in their Sunagakure.
Even among the Five Great Nations, there might not be a single person skilled in Space-Time Ninjutsu, let alone someone who uses it for travel.
Of all the information she had, she had only heard that the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, was skilled in this technique.
Of course, I knew the name of the Second Hokage, but he had died long ago, so I never thought about it that way.
"Could this person be Minato Namikaze from Konoha?"
Thinking of this, Pakura's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Are you Minato Namikaze from Konoha?"
Upon hearing Pakura's question, Orochimaru was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood her thoughts.
In recent years, Minato's reputation in the Ninja World has been far greater than his.
In today's Ninja World, whenever Space-Time Ninjutsu is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the Yellow Flash.
"Hehe... why is Yellow Flash yellow?"
Orochimaru's voice was slightly effeminate, devoid of any emotion. He didn't answer her question directly, but instead asked her a concise and to-the-point counter-question.
The world only knows Minato Namikaze Yellow Flash, but no one knows Orochimaru, the Orochimaru!
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Pakura fell into deep thought.
Yes, the main reason why the Yellow Flash is yellow is because of the person's signature hair.
Every time a battle broke out, people would catch a glimpse of yellow, and before they could even ask if it was a food delivery person, they would already be dead on the spot.
That's why major powers spread the word that if you encounter Yellow Flash on the battlefield, you can abandon the mission and return to your village.
Because the person delivering the last meal has arrived. Don't doubt Minato's professional skills; he can show you your own brains in the next second!
"Space-Time Ninjutsu isn't something only Minato Namikaze can use. As for my identity, you'll find out in the future!"
As they spoke, the two arrived at a town in the Land of Water.
In a flash, Pakura felt a blur before her eyes, and when she could see clearly, the two of them had already arrived in a room.
Pakura placed Ye Cang on an operating table, removed his Orochimaru, and shook his hair.
A handsome, effeminate face appeared before Pakura; the man, who looked about 25 or 26 years old, was not much older than Pakura.
"Hehe...! Let me stitch up your wound first!"
With a wry smile, Orochimaru clearly noticed that Pakura's heart skipped a beat when he saw his face.
The idea of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress never goes out of style, and it's still relevant today.
If your savior is a handsome man, then you'll repay him with your body; otherwise, you'll have no way to repay him and will have to be his slave in your next life!
Although Orochimaru is not particularly handsome, his unruly and domineering aura is unmatched by most ninjas.
Possessing the soul of an old man and the face of a young heartthrob, he's not only incredibly alluring to kindergarten children, but also to young girls and young women... well? Even older women can be easily charmed.
Although the bleeding from the Kunai had stopped, the weapon was not pulled out.
Orochimaru, wearing a white coat, could easily perform a suturing operation.
"Uh-huh...!"
With a muffled groan, Pakura's face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"We didn't manage to get the internal organs, so a stitch will do."
Hearing this, Pakura breathed a slight sigh of relief and did not disturb Orochimaru's surgery, but silently watched his focused face.
Even if you have many questions, now is not the time to speak.
It has to be said that the ninja who made the move was truly ruthless, showing absolutely no mercy to women.
If that Kunai had been aimed at his internal organs, he probably would have ended up in a similar situation to Yahiko.
Although the wound was not deep, the cut was rather long, and Pakura did not request the use of anesthesia when treating the wound.
It's common for ninjas to get injured while on missions, and they've encountered even harsher environments. Compared to that, things are much better now.
Why did you save me?
After the surgery was basically over, Pakura slowly opened his mouth to ask a question, his voice slightly weak.
After bandaging the wound, Orochimaru took off his gloves and started cleaning the scalpel, not minding telling her the whole story.
When she heard Orochimaru say that Rasa had sold her in exchange for a ceasefire between Sunagakure and Kirigakure, she was shocked.
Pakura's pale face turned ashen. How much sweat and blood she had shed for Sunagakure, how many great contributions she had made.
In the end, she became a victim of politics. If it weren't for Orochimaru's appearance, her body would probably be cold by now, and she would be dying with her eyes wide open in disbelief!
"It seems like it's not a bad deal for Sunagakure to sacrifice your life in exchange for temporary peace, so they can free up their forces to fight Iwagakure!"
Orochimaru's tone was full of mockery; indeed, those who play politics have dirty hearts.
Politics can kill people for the sake of saving face!
If the Third Hokage saw this, he would definitely say, "I'm familiar with this technique!"
In a few years, won't Hizashi Hyuga be orchestrated by me?
"Rasa! Sunagakure!!"
Knowing the whole story, Pakura gritted his teeth and said, his words filled with hatred.
Who would have thought that the person who was all smiles and seeing you off before you left was actually sending you to your death? The thought sends chills down your spine.
Orochimaru didn't disturb her, quietly continuing his work. After a while, Pakura asked again:
"Then... why did you save me?"
She asked again, this was her biggest question at the moment. The two were complete strangers, and she was certain that this was the first time she had met Orochimaru.
Why would someone who's a complete stranger save her? Is it really out of a sense of justice? A heroic act?
Having achieved what he has today, Pakura certainly wouldn't naively believe that he would encounter kind people as soon as he stepped out the door.
But this time she really misunderstood Orochimaru. Orochimaru is a really good person, Tsunade herself said so, and she gave him a card more than ten years ago.
"Your strength is not bad, it's a bit of a pity to die like this!"
After rearranging the scalpel, Orochimaru turned around and looked at Pakura, who was also looking at him from the hospital bed with his head tilted to the side.
Their eyes met, Orochimaru continued:
"I need your abilities!"
