After exercising for two hours as usual, Bing San went home for breakfast.
However, Danzo, who usually ate breakfast on time every day, wasn't present today. It seemed he had left last night and hadn't returned.
After breakfast, Yong Ren, dressed in black and wearing a mask, came to find Bing San.
He never expected that this sleazy-looking guy was actually a Root ninja.
"Pack your things, the Master wants to see you," Yong Ren said, removing his mask. He looked very serious.
The coldness in his eyes made Bing San feel like he was looking at a stranger.
After Bing San quickly packed his things, Shimura Yong Ren frowned slightly, grabbed Bing San's shoulder, and with a swish, disappeared from the spot.
Bing San only felt the world spinning, and the scenery around him flashed intermittently.
Soon, they arrived behind the Hokage Building.
Looking at Bing San, who was squatting in a corner and throwing up violently, Danzo frowned slightly.
Shimura Yong Ren's body trembled slightly, but in an instant, he stood straight again.
Danzo glared at Shimura Yong Ren, then said to Bing San, "Follow me."
Bing San then followed Danzo into an underground structure.
He never imagined that Danzo had built an underground base directly beneath the Hokage Building. Was this the so-called "hiding in plain sight"?
At this moment, a pale-faced, slender man walked towards them.
"Hehehe, the little fellow seems quite spirited," the man said, licking his lips as he looked at Bing San.
He wore a loose white kimono, purple eyeshadow, and thin eyebrows. His features were somewhat androgynous, his voice was cold and hoarse, and his manner was refined! It was Orochimaru.
Danzo snorted and said, "Hmph, cooperate with Orochimaru here. I'll come to pick you up personally tonight."
Bing San's body trembled slightly, his eyes darting around.
"Hehehe, are you scared? Or nervous? Your legs are shaking, and your eyes show fear."
Orochimaru bent down to look at Bing San and continued, "What a precocious child. It seems you've already guessed what we're going to do."
"Come with me. If you must know, your life originated from me." Orochimaru walked inside, and Danzo turned to leave.
Inside, Orochimaru changed out of his white kimono and put on a white lab coat.
Orochimaru politely gestured for Bing San to lie down. Bing San obediently complied. Orochimaru attached many tube-like devices to Bing San, securing his limbs with two tubes. Needles were inserted into his arms and thighs.
Looking at the data on the instrument, Orochimaru exclaimed with a touch of madness:
"Ah, it's incredible. The activity of these body cells is more than three to five times stronger than that of an ordinary person.
The metabolic rate has also more than doubled. His Chakra level is already close to that of a genin.
He's truly a body cultivated from the flesh and blood of that esteemed person."
As he spoke, Orochimaru also infused a red liquid into Bing San's body.
Then, he drew some blood.
Bing San soon became groggy and passed out, likely due to the anesthetic.
When Bing San woke up again, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Bing San felt like he was submerged in nutrient fluid again. The nutrient fluid soaked his entire body.
There were many similar tanks nearby, filled with children. It was terrifying.
"You woke up so quickly? The dose I gave you was three times that for an adult.
It's truly unbelievable that you are only three years and eight months old." Orochimaru observed Bing San while jotting things down in a notebook.
After a while, Orochimaru drained the nutrient fluid and released Bing San.
Bing San felt like his body had undergone some changes, but they weren't very noticeable. Orochimaru then took out a Chakra test paper and handed it to Bing San, saying, "Input some Chakra and let's see."
Bing San hesitantly and slowly channeled his Chakra.
"Water, Earth, Wind? Is that so?" Orochimaru gradually fell into deep thought, then seemed to realize something.
At this moment, Danzo pushed the door open and entered, asking Orochimaru, "How is it?"
Orochimaru raised the Chakra test paper in his hand. Danzo's pupils contracted, and he asked with slightly rapid breathing, "Did it succeed?"
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Not yet, it's just the Chakra nature. To know if it's successful, we'll have to wait until he's seven or eight years old and can use ninjutsu properly."
After chatting with Orochimaru for a few more sentences, Danzo took Bing San out of Orochimaru's laboratory.
When they got outside, Yong Ren was already waiting.
"Take him back. Starting tomorrow, teach him ninjutsu." Danzo then threw a scroll to Yong Ren.
Yong Ren took the scroll, nodded at Danzo, and was about to leave with Bing San when he suddenly seemed to remember something.
He glanced back at Danzo, whose expression was a bit grim, then carefully picked Bing San up into his arms and, with a swish, disappeared from the spot!
Time passed quickly, and three more days went by in the blink of an eye. Life was the same as usual, except that Bing San's hair gradually changed from white to brown. His irises also shifted from their original red-black to pure black.
Bing San opened his mission panel and saw that it displayed significant changes.
[Host: Shimura Bing San (Cyborg)] STR: 7 (10) AGI: 6 (10) INT: 11 (10) VIT: 5 (10) Skill 1... Skill 2... Skill 3... Skill 4: Elemental Affinity - Water, Earth (Passive). When using Water or Earth elemental power, consumption is reduced by 20%, power is increased by 10%, and range is increased by 5%.
Orochimaru's craftsmanship is undeniable, but that guy can be truly terrifying when he goes mad sometimes.
Bing San's physical quality has not only been enhanced, but his chakra has more than doubled.
Lying in bed, Bing San watched the roulette countdown and counted along. Suddenly, the numbers on the roulette returned to 1.
Bing San couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this just the gacha from some third-rate web game, acting all mysterious!"
Bing San focused his mind on the roulette, and it began to spin. Suddenly, a blue ball of light appeared in the center of the roulette.
Bing San quickly shifted his focus to the box beside him. The box opened, revealing a book inside.
Bing San felt a weight in his hand as the book appeared. The cover read: Water Arrow Technique (Level 1).
Bing San opened the skill book, and it transformed into a white light, flashing into his mind.
Bing San suddenly seemed to have an epiphany – how energy flowed, how it was shaped, how it was launched.
He understood it all at once. A new skill appeared on his status panel.
Skill: Water Arrow Technique (Level 1). Water elemental damage +8, with a 5% slow effect, lasting 3 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
Although it was very simple, Bing San was very happy. This was the only active skill he could use so far.
As for the Three Body Techniques, he was learning them, but the amount of chakra in his body was becoming more and more immense, making it increasingly difficult to control.
And so, Bing San fell asleep happily. In his dream, he transformed into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, playing games online and dominating the battlefield.
The next morning, Bing San inexplicably "mastered the art of toxic online speech."
When he woke up, he was still mumbling about charging forward, just wanting to be happy, about words starting with F, and advanced techniques for various curses.
Truly a cause for celebration.
