Style Shift

"Hehe, no need. [sgu,60, ss search|say free download]{}"

After hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Orochimaru showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Uchiha Yue. Then, Orochimaru went up to Uchiha Yue on the shoulder, and said, "Tsuki, you haven't disappointed me. Nearly a year of Anbu training has made you a qualified Anbu. Moreover, you now make me feel that appointing you as Anbu leader was the right choice."

A hint of admiration flickered in Orochimaru's eyes. Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Anbu members who disobey orders have no value. I knew that Stream and Pinewood might be dissatisfied, but I wanted to see how you would deal with them. However, even I didn't expect that you, Yue, could do such a good job. Abandoning Stream and Pinewood allowed us to successfully infiltrate the Land of Water. Excellent!"

"Moon, I hope you can maintain this mindset in the future."

"Remember, your identity as a member of the Anbu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru's figure vanished from Uchiha Yue's sight. Clearly, Orochimaru had other matters to attend to and couldn't remain by Uchiha Yue's side. Uchiha Yue, watching Orochimaru disappear, also breathed a sigh of relief. Even after abandoning the two Anbu, Stream and Pinewood, and although he had led Uchiha Yue Orochimaru the others into the Land of Land of Water, he was still worried that Orochimaru Uchiha Yue punish him.

However, Uchiha Yue made the right bet.

He correctly guessed Orochimaru's personality, and therefore escaped Orochimaru's punishment.

However, Uchiha Yue was very clear that if he hadn't served Orochimaru, the punishment he would have received would have been extremely severe!

Within Konoha, two individuals possessed rather extreme personalities: Shimura Danzō of the Konoha's Council of Elders Shimura Danzō Orochimaru. Both were ruthless and unscrupulous in achieving their goals. Uchiha Yue recognized this, which is why he dared to abandon two Anbu, Stream and Orochimaru Pinewood, during a mission. Otherwise, even with immense courage, he would never have abandoned his comrades, as such an act is considered shameful in the Uchiha Yue Shinobi World.

Immediately afterwards...

After Uchiha Yue finished speaking with Orochimaru Uchiha Yue the Land of Water.

However, even Uchiha Yue himself didn't realize that after abandoning the two Anbu, Stream and Pinewood, and successfully helping Orochimaru and his group infiltrate the Land of Water, his mindset underwent a slight change. Now, Uchiha Yue understood Orochimaru's style of doing things, causing his behavior after becoming Anbu to Shadow Orochimaru's. Therefore, Uchiha Yue became more ruthless and cold-blooded after becoming an ANBU Anbu, especially after being appointed as an Anbu leader. Uchiha Yue's behavior was almost identical to Orochimaru's, gradually gaining the acceptance of the other Anbu under Orochimaru's command.

Orochimaru led his Anbu to infiltrate the Land of Water with the aim of collecting the stone tablets scattered throughout the Shinobi World.

The stone tablets scattered throughout the Land of Water were sometimes located in remote places, and sometimes in villages or towns. Each time Orochimaru received information about the stone tablets, he would send Uchiha Yue and several Anbu to collect them. However, now Orochimaru no longer needed to remind Uchiha Yue what to do; Uchiha Yue was able to perfectly follow Orochimaru's instructions and complete the tasks assigned by Orochimaru.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Wandering through a village, Uchiha Yue, along with several Anbu, was collecting the stone tablets scattered throughout the village.

However, the first order given by Uchiha Yue, who had just arrived at the village, was to massacre all the civilians. In fact, Orochimaru hadn't even instructed Uchiha Yue and his men to do this beforehand; Uchiha Yue simply gave the order to the few Anbu had accompanied him. Those Anbu who had come with Uchiha Yue knew that he was Uchiha Yue's most favored Orochimaru Anbu. Therefore, they didn't refuse the order at all and immediately began the massacre in the village.

Uchiha Yue was also among those slaughtering civilians.

Perhaps because the civilians in front of him were no longer civilians from the Land of Fire, Uchiha Yue felt no psychological burden as he slaughtered them.

Wielding the Uchiha Yue Fubuki Tachi, no matter who stood before him, Uchiha Yue could wield it and reap their lives. The old, the young, women, and children—those whom Uchiha Yue had once refused to kill—were now like Fubuki Tachi and dogs in his eyes. Anyone Uchiha Yue in his way would be killed without expression or emotional fluctuation, solely to complete his mission.

In just three minutes, a village was transformed into a hellish place.

Then, after all the civilians in the entire village had been killed, Orochimaru appeared before Uchiha Yue and asked, "Yue, where is the stone tablet?"

"Lord Orochimaru, we've found the stone tablet."

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Yue nodded slightly and said, "Furthermore, all those who knew the truth have been eliminated."

"Hehe, well done."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Orochimaru chuckled a few times, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Yue and slowly said, "Yue, I can guess that before you came to serve me, Tsunade must have told you not to be influenced by my style of doing things. But now it seems that you have already been influenced by me. Yue, haven't you noticed? You are now a true Anbu, Anbu should act like you, following orders."

Orochimaru paused slightly, then said, "So, just stay true to yourself. As Anbu, you know exactly what you should do."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue nodded indifferently and replied to Orochimaru in front of him.

After Uchiha Yue replied, Orochimaru went to the stone tablet to analyze its contents. However, after talking with Orochimaru, Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue stunned for a long time, unable to recover. Moreover, while he was there, he kept asking himself the same question.

So, is this kind of change really the right thing to do?

Is it only by transforming in this way that one can become a true Anbu?
