Watching Tsunade leave angrily and worriedly...
"Dan Katō What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the doctor?" Akaseki asked Orochimaru in confusion.
Previously, Akaseki only knew that Tsunade went to see Orochimaru when there was nothing he could do about Dan Katō's injury.
After all, although Orochimaru is far less proficient than Tsunade in terms of Medical Ninjutsu, he still has many crooked ways.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru's method is not suitable either.
Afterwards...
Orochimaru's impression of Dan Katō became extremely bad for some reasons!
"'Medical trouble' is a good word... but of course I'm not the one making the trouble, otherwise he should have been relieved." Orochimaru said calmly.
Although Orochimaru did not explain it carefully, but... Akaseki could already guess the cause and effect after hearing this.
It's not Orochimaru who's causing trouble, who else could it be?
It seems that Dan Katō was seriously injured and could no longer function as a ninja, so... his personality became weird, and he became angry with the people around him, and the person closest to him was undoubtedly Tsunade.
This kind of "discharging anger" is indeed human nature. However, in Orochimaru's view, just like ordinary people, he is a "trash" - which is in line with his previous evaluation of Dan Katō to Akaseki.
"I see..." Akaseki could only shake his head at this, and even gave up the idea of visiting Dan Katō because of this.
It's not that Akaseki looks down on him because of this, but...
Akaseki doesn't want to ruin the good impression he has on Dan Katō.
"Won't Akaseki go to exercise Taijutsu today?" Orochimaru did not focus the topic on Dan Katō.
"Today is just daily exercise... the main thing is to practice, um, develop ninjutsu." Akaseki said seriously.
When Orochimaru said "exercise Taijutsu", he meant going to the training ground and finding Might Duy for sparring and sparring.
The "daily exercise" mentioned by Akaseki is just to use "Correction Device" to increase stress on the body, and then do some training to improve physical fitness.
The former focuses on actual combat and moves, while the latter focuses on improving physical fitness.
Now Akaseki obviously needs the latter...
The fourteen-year-old Akaseki can be said to be at the peak level among his peers on Taijutsu, but now the seventeen-year-old Akaseki... can only be said to be the first-rate among his peers.
As for moves and battles, Akaseki doesn't really care about it right now. After all, with "Susanoo", Akaseki basically has no chance to fight directly with his body.
At this point, Akaseki's "Sage Mode" is actually a bit of a waste... at least in terms of "body strengthening".
It's not that "Red Lion" under Sage Mode is weak, but...
If "Susanoo" can't hold it, then "Red Lion" can't hold it either!
However, after hearing what Akaseki said about "developing ninjutsu", Orochimaru's lips trembled before he managed to hold his nerve.
If we talk about "cultivating ninjutsu", it means learning and practicing existing ninjutsu, which is nothing more than becoming more proficient and making chakra changes more subtle.
But since Akaseki said "development", then at least develop abilities that existing ninjutsu does not have and transform ninjutsu. Going further, it may even directly develop new ninjutsu...
Orochimaru is very familiar with the matter of "developing ninjutsu", but when he heard this coming from Akaseki's mouth, he felt very awkward!
Shouldn't the prerequisite for developing ninjutsu be a thorough analysis of the principles of ninjutsu?
"As expected of the Uchiha Clan who owns Sharingan, developing ninjutsu is easy." Orochimaru said calmly.
"Huh? You're not jealous, are you?" Akaseki asked curiously.
Orochimaru:..."It actually has nothing to do with Sharingan. What I am developing recently is Swamp Release."
"I have never heard of Swamp Release before. I looked through the history of the clan and found that Warring States Period has a kind of Marsh Release that appeared over Land of Water..."
"I don't know if it is a kind of thing, there is no specific record."
"I have to develop everything myself, hey."
Akaseki's tone conveyed the feeling that he had a heavy scientific research burden on him.
Orochimaru:...
"Swamp Release... if it can be developed properly, it can indeed be very strong, maybe not weaker than Wood Release." Orochimaru said after tensing up.
"Of course I know that." Akaseki Byakugan said.
Akaseki feels...
This is nonsense!
Let alone Kekkei Genkai, even if it is a ninjutsu with basic attributes, if it is developed to the extreme, the upper limit will be extremely high.
Kekkei Genkai and so on, the main improvement is the lower limit, and... surprise. After all, everyone knows the basic attributes of ninjutsu, and they also know how to target and defend.
But if it is "Kekkei Genkai", it will have a big advantage in terms of the concealment of the information.
Even if the other party knows that Akaseki has Air Release and Swamp Release, he still won't know the specific effects and properties of Air Release and Swamp Release... After all, Akaseki himself doesn't know it very well!
"No, what I mainly want to say is... if it's not strong enough, then consider whether it's not developed enough by yourself." Orochimaru said with a slight smile.
Akaseki:...
"Are you... trying to hit me?" Akaseki looked at him strangely.
"Of course not, Mr. Akaseki, you are the... um, the ninja with the greatest potential in this area that I have ever seen." Orochimaru said sincerely.
Akaseki felt comfortable after hearing this.
Orochimaru looked at his expression and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth - yes, there is the biggest room for improvement.
And Akaseki saw that Orochimaru admired his "Swamp Release" so much, so he also invited him to join the development of Swamp Release.
Although Orochimaru does not have Swamp Release's talent at all and cannot control Swamp Release's chakra, but... Orochimaru's scientific research ability makes him very good at guiding these abilities that he does not have.
Orochimaru readily agreed, and he was also very curious about the novel Kekkei Genkai. Although Akaseki felt that he could not teach others, he still took him with him.
I didn't find Orochimaru before because Akaseki discovered that Orochimaru didn't show much concern about Obito's upcoming admission, but he had been accompanying him to practice and review the entrance exam content, so he didn't bother...
In the next few days, Orochimaru provided some small help for the development of "Swamp Release" and provided some small inspiration for Akaseki.
But "good times don't last long"...
A few days after the Ninja Academy started school, Orochimaru received the transfer order.
Hokage Office in...
"Commander-in-Chief... Well, I can take up my post at any time." Orochimaru said calmly.
Looking at his relaxed expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi clicked his cigarette holder...
Danzo on the side frowned and said, "Orochimaru! Lord Hokage is here to assess whether you can become a qualified Commander-in-Chief!"
"Assessment... I can only say that I can control Konoha's losses to the minimum within Future two years, well... it should be smaller than at any time since the war started." Orochimaru said matter-of-factly.
Danzo wanted to say something more, but Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him at this time.
"Two years?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru seriously. "That's right, Sunagakure can persist for another two years at most, and these two years are not only a struggle with Sand Ninja, but also two years... to capture and stabilize Land of Wind Mission Rights." Orochimaru said.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is of course too slow.
Akaseki Customized mvp settlement Jade Sculpture has been ready for two years...
However, Orochimaru still adheres to his original strategy of playing steadily!
"Okay, then two years! Remember what you said, your first priority in these two years is to reduce Konoha's losses." Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously.
The two years that Orochimaru predicts are the upper limit that Sunagakure can persist, which does not mean that it has any counterattack ability.
Therefore, Orochimaru judged that even if we fight steadily, it will still take two years, but there will not be any high-intensity battles in these two years!
Just slowly dying Sand Ninja...
Rushing for success at this time will increase Konoha's losses, and even give Sand Ninja an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it will not be able to compress too much time.
After being taught one lesson after another, Hiruzen Sarutobi still accepted Orochimaru's statement.
But after Orochimaru left...
"Hiruzen! Orochimaru is now Uchiha Clan..." Danzo immediately reminded. Watch at Danzo Come on, you shouldn't give that Orochimaru a chance - Hiruzen is too soft-hearted. He still thinks that Orochimaru is his student, but he doesn't realize that he is already a Uchiha Clan!
"Uchiha Clan is also a member of Konoha." Hiruzen Sarutobi emphasized.
"But... the longer this state lasts, the more beneficial it will be to the Uchiha Clan! In order to develop Land of Wind's mission power, Konoha Military Police Force's power will be further increased!" Danzo emphasized.
Now Sunagakure's scope of influence has been limited to the east-central area of Land of Wind, accounting for only about 20% of Land of Wind's territory.
Although Land of Wind has not formally surrendered, there is no restriction on civilians entrusting tasks to Konoha. Konoha can actually accept and perform tasks in the large area of Land of Wind's land.
Because of the long distance, more supervision power is needed, which naturally means Uchiha Clan is needed more...
In Danzo's view, a two-year delay would be too beneficial to the Uchiha Clan, and he even accused Orochimaru of doing it on purpose.
"Hatake monitor made the same judgment before." Hiruzen Sarutobi finally learned enough lessons and no longer rushes for success.
"And that Hatake Sakumo..." Danzo was also angry when he mentioned Hatake Sakumo. At this time, he specifically provoked. "If this continues, everyone will only know that there is Konoha's White Fang, but not Hokage!"
"Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at him sternly.
He also knew that his old friend was angry because the reform proposal on the Ninja Academy on Jonin Meeting was rejected.
"He just thinks that he has protected Konoha's children, but he doesn't understand our good intentions at all! Isn't the reason why we have to enter school and graduate early to prepare Konoha Ninja to adapt to the war in advance?" In the next two years, the war should be relatively relaxed. In the past two years, the intensity of Kumogakure and Iwagakure's participation in the war this time is not high. Sooner or later they will start fighting again. If we don't take advantage of this period to give Konoha Ninja more experience, what will we do when the next war breaks out again?"
Of course Hiruzen Sarutobi understands what Danzo said. This is also the main reason why Hokage Building proposed the Ninja Academy reform before.
But...
Hiruzen Sarutobi was rubbing his brows at this time.
Danzo is here again...
Just now he was saying that Orochimaru was deliberately delaying time for the Uchiha Clan...
Now we begin to demonstrate the correctness of the reform on the basis of acknowledging that it existed and was necessary in the past two years...
Whenever Uchiha Clan is involved, this old guy will start attacking the right brain with his left brain!
