Snake Uncle's Gift

"So, the purpose of your visit is to use this technique and collaborate with me to build a factory?" Orochimaru asked after a long silence.

"Yes!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded repeatedly.

"You're short on money?" Orochimaru asked again.

"Yes!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded.

"With your strength, you could already graduate from the Ninja Academy!" Orochimaru thought for a moment and asked, "So, why don't you apply for graduation first and then earn money by carrying out missions?"

"Huh?" Kamiya Keiyun was stunned. "Wait, doesn't Ninja Academy last for five years? Besides, I haven't learned anything yet, how can I graduate already!"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed with laughter. A commoner's child, so that's how it is!

You have no idea how talented you are!

He recalled a similar case, Namikaze Minato.

That child was the same, unaware of how outstanding his talent was, so he stubbornly stayed in school for the full five years before graduating.

Mainly because there was Uzumaki Kushina in that class, who was unbeatable in the school, causing everyone to unconsciously lower their self-assessment.

But this class is different. Although there are some good youngsters in this grade, they are far behind Kamiya Keiyun.

The only one who could suppress Kamiya Keiyun might be Hatake Kakashi, but given the Hatake Family's public image, Hatake Kakashi would likely choose to graduate early to prove himself.

When the practical combat lessons start, Kamiya Keiyun will definitely discover that no one in the entire grade, or even the entire school, is his match.

However, that would be a pity. A genius who can propose Production Ninjutsu would be wasted if he graduated early and participated in combat.

A waste for the future of the Ninja World!

"Forget about the graduation thing, just pretend I didn't say it!" Orochimaru shook his head and said, "As for the collaboration you mentioned, I'm sorry, I can't agree to it!"

"Ah?" Kamiya Keiyun was stunned. "Snake Uncle, would you like to hear more about it? This project has broad prospects. The construction of the entire village, and later it can be promoted to other villages and towns, and even the entire Land of Fire. Becoming the richest person in the Ninja World wouldn't be impossible. The production efficiency of ninjas is also unmatched by ordinary people. Even if they can produce pipes, they can't compete with ninjas in underground construction at all. Would you reconsider?"

He was getting anxious, even calling him Snake Uncle.

"I understand, but have you thought about who would execute the project even if I invested in it?" Orochimaru laughed. "You, or me? Do you want me to do nothing every day and just make pipes?"

"There are so many ninjas, there's bound to be someone willing, aren't there retired ones too?" Kamiya Keiyun asked. "This is a good opportunity for re-employment!"

"Indeed, but you're still young and don't understand the pride of ninjas, nor the darkness of the ninja world!" Orochimaru shook his head. "You can practice this technique, but don't use it in front of others, and don't look for other people to collaborate with. If you trust me, then listen to me!"

"This..." Kamiya Keiyun frowned, but he needed money!

But he also believed that Snake Uncle wouldn't lie to him.

"If you need money, I can sponsor you some!" Orochimaru took out a stack of Banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Kamiya Keiyun. "You can also come to me if you have any problems with ninjutsu in the future."

"Ah, this..." Kamiya Keiyun swallowed. He was very familiar with this Banknote. It was issued jointly by the major commercial firms in the Land of Fire. One Banknote is worth ten thousand, and this stack is one million!

Wait, Snake Uncle said I can discuss ninjutsu with him in the future?

What does that mean?

"Teacher!" Kamiya Keiyun was about to kneel down immediately. This was a golden opportunity, when else would he seize it?

"Hey!" Orochimaru grabbed Kamiya Keiyun. "You don't need to become my disciple, and I can't teach you either. My thoughts will only interfere with you!"

"This..." Kamiya Keiyun was speechless. What does he mean?

"By the way, you just called me Snake Uncle?" Orochimaru asked again.

"Uh, this..." Kamiya Keiyun scratched his head, trying to explain. "Well, aren't you called Orochimaru, and you're of the uncle generation?"

"Well, that's a good title, I like it very much. Just call me Snake Uncle from now on." Orochimaru licked his lips. Speaking of which, he had never heard such an affectionate title since he was a child!

"Okay, Snake Uncle!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded repeatedly. It was good to call him Snake Uncle even if he couldn't become his disciple.

"Then Snake Uncle, should I graduate early?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.

"No!" Orochimaru said, "The outside world is not suitable for you, but the rules of ninjas cannot be violated, so you can only extend your time in school as much as possible within the rules!"

Kamiya Keiyun understood, meaning he was incompatible with the Ninja World!

As expected of Snake Uncle, he could see that!

"Yes, yes!" Kamiya Keiyun could only nod, but speaking of which, he had another worry.

"But, I already know everything the teachers teach, isn't staying in school a waste of time!" Although he could cultivate Bright Virtue Method, he couldn't keep learning this method forever. He estimated that he would reach perfection in a year or two.

What would he do for the remaining three years? Really go to sleep?

"Is that so!" Orochimaru nodded. He was too experienced in this. He had encountered this situation back then, and the solution was simple.

"I'll teach you a ninjutsu!" Orochimaru said, looking at Kamiya Sanyō next to him.

Kamiya Sanyō was very sensible and turned to leave.

"You can listen too!" Orochimaru said, "But don't spread it!"

"Ah?" Kamiya Sanyō was stunned, and quickly stood aside excitedly. This was the teaching of Orochimaru of the Sannin, a lot of people would be envious to death if it spread!

"This technique is called Shadow Clone Technique. It can split the Chakra in your body and condense a physical clone. The hand seals are Ox-Dog-Dragon-Rat-Dog-Boar-Snake-Tiger, and you must complete them within 4 seconds, but with your talent, it shouldn't be a problem!" Orochimaru said, "As for other taboos, you can explore them yourself."

He knew that for a genius like Kamiya Keiyun, guidance was more important than direct teaching. Saying a little was enough, and he would study the rest himself.

"Thank you, Snake Uncle!" Kamiya Keiyun thanked him quickly. Although he didn't know how different this technique was from the Clone Technique in the Three Body Technique, it must be useful since it was taught by Snake Uncle!

I'll go back and study them properly!

"Oh right, sign this Contract Scroll too!" Orochimaru produced another Contract Scroll and handed it to Kamiya Keiyun.

"This is the White Snake Summoning Scroll. It can summon the White Snake from just now to communicate with us. If it's inconvenient to come see me, or you can't find me, you can have the White Snake deliver a message!"

White Snake delivering messages, it's kind of like a carrier pigeon!

Kamiya Keiyun picked up the brush and signed his name. This time, Snake Uncle didn't tell Kamiya Sanyō to sign as well, so naturally, she didn't get a share.

"And the Summoning Technique, for summoning the White Snake!" Orochimaru recited a string of hand seals.

Boar-Dog-Rooster-Monkey-Ram, this technique belongs to the Blood Contract Technique, so you have to make a cut on your hand before using it.

"I'll be in the village recently, you can come over anytime!" Orochimaru said.

He was still in a period of confusion. Although seeing Kamiya Keiyun had dissipated his confusion a little, it was only a little.

He had to think about what to do in the future.

"Yes!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded quickly, but after thinking about it, he added, "Snake Uncle, I might not have much time this month. After this month, I will definitely come and bother you often."

He definitely had to make this clear, otherwise, if he didn't hear from him for a month, Snake Uncle might think he was disrespecting him!

"Alright!" Orochimaru nodded.

After memorizing both techniques, Orochimaru had Kamiya Keiyun try them once.

Although he was confident that this child should be a genius, he still had to verify it with his own eyes. After all, what if someone else had invented this technique and then had this child come to test him?

You never know!

"Shadow Clone Technique!" Kamiya Keiyun raised his hand and formed the hand seals.

The feeling this technique gave him was similar to the Clone Technique, but the amount of Chakra that was split was much more. One was a little bit, and the other was directly half!

Then, another version of Kamiya Keiyun appeared beside him!

"Success on the first try!" Orochimaru nodded, not bad, quite good!

The Chakra in this child's body wasn't of the abundant type. To succeed on the first try, it could only be because his control over Chakra had reached a very high level.

And to have such Chakra control at the age of 5, what else could he be but a genius?

"Disperse!" Kamiya Keiyun dispelled the Shadow Clone, and his whole person just stood there blankly, before finally coming back to his senses after a long time.

"Snake Uncle, I just..."

"Continue, next ninjutsu!" Orochimaru interrupted Kamiya Keiyun.

"Ah, oh!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded, he seemed to have figured out Snake Uncle's temperament.

Similar to the brigade commander, just don't bother him with trivial matters!

So in the future, when seeking guidance, he couldn't really ask Snake Uncle about every problem. At least, he had to solve the problems he could solve himself.

Only when he really couldn't handle it, would he ask.

He raised his hand and formed the hand seals!

Using the Summoning Technique required injuring his hand, which was quite painful, but with the blessing of Chakra, the pain was reduced a lot.

Then, a circular Rune Array flashed on the ground, and in the center of the Formation, a White Snake was summoned with a confused look on its face.

"Eh?" The White Snake curiously looked at Orochimaru in the distance, and then at Kamiya Keiyun next to it: "Orochimaru, you actually gave him my Summoning Scroll, it seems that you and..."

This Summoning Scroll was equivalent to a private number, and only Orochimaru had it before!

Only Orochimaru could send the White Snake to deliver messages. Someone else wanted to actively find Orochimaru?

Then you could use a human to deliver the message!

Unexpectedly now...

"You can go back now!" Orochimaru interrupted the White Snake again.

He really didn't want himself to affect Kamiya Keiyun's future.

His and Jiraiya's approaches were completely different. Jiraiya was thinking about finding the Child of Prophecy and guiding the Child of Prophecy all day long. But if the Toad Sage asked Orochimaru to find the Child of Prophecy, Orochimaru would definitely ignore it.

Did the real Child of Prophecy need guidance?

Was the Child of Prophecy who needed guidance still the Child of Prophecy? Shouldn't it be something that was destined to appear, and would not be affected no matter what happened?

"Okay!" The White Snake obediently left.

"Besides this Mud to Stone Technique, do you have anything else?" Orochimaru asked Kamiya Keiyun this time.

"Um, nothing else, then Snake Uncle, we won't disturb you anymore!" Kamiya Keiyun heard that he was being driven away.

As expected of Snake Uncle, high IQ, and high EQ.

Well, he was definitely not praising him because of the one million Ryō in his arms.

"Alright!" Snake Uncle nodded: "I won't see you off."

Watching Kamiya Keiyun and Kamiya Sanyō leave, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

One month, why one month?

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Go investigate what's been happening with the Kamiya Family recently!"

A Black Shadow flashed in the room and quickly returned.

"It's been confirmed that Kamiya Keiyun's father, Kamiya Hiromi, is a drunkard. Because he had no money for alcohol, he chose to marry his daughter to Shimura Ken of the Shimura Clan. The wedding will take place in a month."

"Shimura Ken, cooperative factory, a month..." Orochimaru licked his somewhat dry lips. "It seems this child isn't very happy with this marriage. He wants to resolve this matter within a month and doesn't plan to use my power. What is he going to do? Kill Shimura Ken?"

Orochimaru clearly understood the village's politics. The Kamiya Family had no power to resist the strength of the Shimura Clan. The only way to break the engagement was to have Shimura Ken die!

"Then, should we report this to Lord Hokage?" the Black Shadow asked. "Or should we help him?"

"You know nothing, you've seen nothing!" Orochimaru waved his hand.

Help him?

Help him do what!

Orochimaru was quite curious how a ninja who walked the path of Production Ninjutsu would deal with a Jonin.

Even though he was crippled, a crippled Jonin was still a Jonin!
