Looking at the Kaguya Clan's current miserable situation, Shōji couldn't help but sigh slightly, if it weren't for himself.
Their fate in the Uchiha Clan in Original Work was also very miserable.
The final result is just a little better than Kaguya Clan.
At least Uchiha Clan still has blood left, Kaguya Clan, the most talented Kimimaro eventually died of illness in Original Work.
"Well, I hope my luck can be better. If there are no errors in Original Work, Kimimaro in this period should still be... huh? What is this aura?"
Just when Shōji was about to go deep into the internal area of the Kaguya Clan's station to conduct further searches, the next second, Shōji's eyes narrowed, and he captured a faint hint of danger and a hint of familiarity remaining in this area.
"It seems that the quickest one got there first?"
Shōji's eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered this sentence in a low voice.
"Whoosh!"
The soles of the feet Chakra exploded.
Tomoe Sharingan, which opened directly, traced the firmly locked aura of Chakra all the way to the northwest. Although this aura was very faint, it was still invisible in front of Shōji. And judging from the remaining aura, the owner of this aura had just left for at most half a day!
With Shōji's current speed, it is completely possible to catch up with the opponent if he also has a drag bottle!
"Orochimaru, all encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence. It seems that this is our fate!"
That's right, the owner of this aura is none other than Orochimaru, one of the former Konoha Sannins who Shōji "loved". Even without the plot reference in Original Work, Shōji can make the most accurate judgment based on the trace of aura he captured in the ruins of the Kaguya Clan's residence.
I had planned to go find Orochimaru in the near future.
This can really be said to be that 'accidentally' opened the door for 'accidentally', and he happened to be home!!
Full burst of speed.
The figure chasing after him all the way.
The surrounding scenes are changing rapidly, as if they have entered a time-space distortion mode.
This is after Shōji's strength has further improved.
Full speed bursting out in a true sense.
In less than an hour, the faint aura of Chakra had become very strong at this moment.
"Found it!"
These are easily locked coordinates.
Shōji There was a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth.
The speed that soared to the extreme was also followed by a wave of terror. Shōji had no intention of covering up his traces.
In the front position, Kimimaro, who had just been brainwashed by himself and could be regarded as completely loyal to him, headed towards the other side of Land of Water. Orochimaru, who was planning to search for his second purpose of this trip, also frowned when Shōji approached a very obvious distance. There was a hint of shock in the snake's eyes.
In the next moment.
Turning sight.
"Boom!"
It was the same figure that flashed and came closer.
When the two people looked at each other.
"Ah, it turns out it's really Orochimaru-san, the first time we meet."
"Uchiha Shōji!"
It was different from Shōji's greetings that came down lightly with a leisurely look.
Orochimaru's snake eyes shrank suddenly, and the volume was obviously raised a little subconsciously at this moment.
"Haha, I really didn't expect to see the famous Uchiha contemporary Shura in Shinobi World in a remote place like Land of Water. This is really an honor for me."
Orochimaru is Orochimaru after all, and his emotions quickly adjusted within a second, speaking in a tone that seemed relaxed, but in fact his heartstrings were tense instantly.
The words conveyed a cold and hoarse feeling.
There is also the cold feeling that comes from all over the body. If any ordinary ninja faces Orochimaru, he will be trembling and unable to control himself. This is the power that Legendary Sannin should have, but when facing Uchiha Shōji, the situation between the two is so different. I mean, although there has not been a direct confrontation, this is the 'first meeting' between the two (Orochimaru thinks so), but Shōji's various previous achievements, as well as the moment of direct confrontation, Orochimaru can clearly sense the cold and dangerous atmosphere.
Even Orochimaru still has enough confidence in himself.
But at this moment, he still raised his vigilance to the highest level.
And judging from the direction pursued by Shōji, Orochimaru can probably guess what Shōji's goal is.
At that moment, Orochimaru even made the necessary preparations to a certain extent.
"Haha, Orochimaru-san is so polite. It should be an honor for me as a junior to meet one of the famous Legendary Sannin. I have always been looking forward to meeting Orochimaru-san!"
Shōji said with a smile and a relaxed expression.
"I don't think there is any need to say these polite words. Mr. Shōji doesn't stay in Iwagakure to assist Lord Tsuchikage. Shouldn't you come all the way to Land of Water just to tell me about your defection from Konoha?"
Orochimaru said this with a deep meaning.
"Haha, of course I came here for something, and Orochimaru-san should know it very well. After all, my goal is the same as Orochimaru-san!"
Shōji laughed, glanced at the slightly short Kimimaro standing next to Orochimaru with a hint of meaning, and said meaningfully.
Shōji's words and actions completely confirmed Orochimaru's own guess. His expression darkened visibly to the naked eye, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he said, "So Shōji is also interested in the Kaguya Clan's blood successor? This is really beyond my expectation!"
"What's so strange about this? You must know that this is a very rare heir among Shinobi World. It can control its own bones, and its hardness is rare in Shinobi World. So I wonder if Orochimaru-san can give that little guy to me?"
Shōji raised his sword eyebrows, his expression seemed calm, but his words were actually aggressive.
"!?"
Orochimaru Let's not mention it for now.
After hearing Shōji's words, Kimimaro, who was sitting nearby, suddenly changed his curious face. This young and shameless guy actually targeted himself!?
Although Kimimaro is only about six or seven years old at the moment, he is still very precocious. Under the unique teachings of the Kaguya Clan, he is already very clear about the dangers in Shinobi World Well, he is also very aware of the specialness of his Shikotsumyaku blood inheritance, and it is impossible for Kimimaro, who has decided to follow Orochimaru completely, to have any change of heart.
At this moment, Kimimaro is different from the bitter and resentful face in Original Work. At this moment, the little face that still looks very immature also has a look of anger.
However, Kimimaro, who has decided to dedicate everything to Orochimaru, will not speak casually even if Orochimaru does not give any indication.
"Haha, Mr. Shōji is really good at joking. Kimimaro is not an object, but a living human being. It cannot be replaced at will. He came with me voluntarily. Unless Kimimaro is willing to leave with you, Mr. Shōji, then I have no objection, but, Kimimaro?"
Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh, then glanced at Kimimaro.
"Yes!"
Kimimaro first bowed his head respectfully towards Orochimaru, then turned his gaze with a touch of indifference to Shōji who was not far away, and said in the firmest tone, "Everything about me already belongs to Lord Orochimaru, and I will never follow anyone else again!"
But Shōji obviously didn't care about Kimimaro at all. He just gave Kimimaro a cold look, which made Kimimaro instantly tremble. Han, after his body trembled involuntarily, Shōji also passed by Kimimaro, and the same slightly cold eyes fell on Orochimaru again. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Self-will? A living human being? Orochimaru Sang is the one, don't make such boring and ridiculous jokes. This is pretty much the same for Jiraiya Sang, Orochimaru-san? Do you think that others don't know anything about what you did in Konoha? I have no intention of making such a joke with Orochimaru-san!"
Gradually increase the tone word for word.
As Shōji's words fell in this space, the forest aura spread and the biting chill spread. Even Orochimaru's face changed slightly at this moment. Kimimaro in the side position seemed to have seen some kind of terrifying scene, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
This is only part of the momentum that Shōji shows. If it were to be used with all its strength, Kimimaro, who is only six or seven years old at this moment, would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of Shōji's momentum!
But on the other hand, it can also be explained that Kimimaro at this age can barely withstand the momentum that is enough to make Orochimaru change his mind. It is also enough to prove the excellence of Kimimaro, and he is indeed worthy of being the younger generation of the Kaguya Clan who has inherited the most perfect bloodline.
"Then let me see what capital you have, Mr. Shōji!"
Orochimaru's expression also became very cold, and he stretched out his strange long tongue and licked his lips, and a strange color showed in his pupils.
He waved slightly to signal Kimimaro, who had a hint of unwillingness on his side, to step back.
Orochimaru also suddenly opened his bloody mouth and spit out a long sword blooming with cold fluorescence. It was one of the Kusanagi Sword that Orochimaru collected with great pains from ancient times. He flipped his right hand over and held the hilt of the sword accurately on top of his left hand.
"Hiss!"
Then the giant python sprang out.
Orochimaru almost made a fighting stance in an instant.
"Capital?"
But Shōji in the opposite position just smiled coldly.
"Buzz!"
The scarlet Tomoe Sharingan reflected in the pupils may not be effective when facing other Kage Level strong men, let alone Tomoe Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, unless they can pull the opponent away at close range. Entering his own 'realm world' is just like Obito who was tricked before. Otherwise, Shōji would not use illusions against Kage Level opponents at the same level easily, because it really doesn't have much effect.
But Orochimaru is a huge exception!
Although he had not continued to use Living Corpse Reincarnation to replace his body like in later generations at this period, he had obviously started corresponding experiments, and his soul had already had a fatal flaw. In Shōji's In Sharingan, you can clearly see the incomplete parts of Orochimaru's soul. It can be said that Orochimaru in this mode was defeated by their Uchiha Clan!
At this period, Orochimaru was not aware of this shortcoming of his own at all. He was not even sure that Mangekyō Sharingan had restraint on his soul, but he still looked at Shōji fearlessly.
"Illusion - magic - the art of shackle resistance!"
The Tomoe Sharingan suddenly spun at high speed, erupting with a rich scarlet color!
"What!?"
In the next moment.
The world is spinning!
This suddenly became an endlessly dark and cold environment.
Orochimaru's expression changed first.
"Illusion!?"
After realizing this illusion, Orochimaru really didn't expect that Shōji could drag himself into Genjutsu World so easily, but Orochimaru did not show any signs of anxiety or worry.
In his opinion, there is no need to worry about illusions at all.
The imprint formed immediately in the subconscious wanted to use Chakra's reverse impact to forcibly break Shōji's illusion.
However.
"Why!?"
But this space is still motionless.
"Boom!"
"Ding"
"Ding"
"Ding"
"Ding!"
In the very ugly expression of Orochimaru.
A huge iron pillar appeared out of thin air, accompanied by more than a dozen thick long iron nails that flew towards it. In an instant, Orochimaru was easily nailed to the iron pillar behind him. His senses were completely dominated. It was obviously just an illusion in the world, but he could clearly feel the huge pain like muscle tearing apart!
"Huh!?"
Orochimaru's snake pupils seemed to be completely filled with blood at this moment, and his expression became extremely ferocious.
"Orochimaru-san, this is just the beginning!"
Shōji stepped lightly in front of Orochimaru. Looking at Orochimaru's face that had become extremely distorted and crazy, Shōji smiled coldly and waved his right hand suddenly.
In the void.
The hundreds of torture instruments that appeared directly were not only from this world, but also some cruel torture instruments from Shōji's previous world.
Orochimaru Since you are so ignorant.
Then Shōji must take the initiative to help this master Legendary Sannin understand what "knowing interests" means!
"Ah!?"
This institute directly entered the extremely brutal stage of torture.
In this endless Genjutsu World.
With Orochimaru's determination and capacity, he could not help but let out a shrill scream under the inhuman torture of Shōji.
Although it cannot be like the Mangekyō Sharingan that Itachi opened in Original Work and the proprietary Dojutsu - Tsukuyomi can forcefully torture the person being cast 72 hours, but Shōji can easily torture Orochimaru for several hours or even longer, and in the real world, it only lasts for about a second.
This seems like endless torture.
But it seemed to Kimimaro not far away that it only happened for a moment.
The moment the two of them broke away from Genjutsu World again.
"Hmph!"
While Orochimaru is still immersed in Genjutsu World and drowsy.
"Uh-huh!"
Shōji snorted coldly and drew the knife forward.
"Pfft!"
The sword flew down.
Along with the broken arm that fell down, there was also the blood splashing everywhere.
"Ah!?"
When Shōji turned over and returned to the original place, Orochimaru felt it like an afterthought. The pain he felt was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, the scream that he could not restrain, and his whole body seemed to have completely lost all strength. It was already The sickly white face turned paler at this moment. A large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was kneeling limply on the ground. The blood flowing down also instantly infected the land in front of him, making Orochimaru's appearance look more and more miserable.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Kimimaro, who was not far away, also changed his expression when he saw the tragic situation of Orochimaru.
"Whoosh!"
The bone spur that was quickly forced out of the palm of his right hand, flipped over, was tightly held in his palm, and was about to attack Shōji directly and viciously.
"Kimimaro! Stop!"
Just for that moment.
Orochimaru, who barely regained consciousness, also shouted sharply.
Kimimaro's figure couldn't help but stagnate. Although he still looked fearless and glared at Shōji, he still obeyed Orochimaru's order and retreated to the back.
Shōji only glanced at Kimimaro with a faint expression, and then turned his attention to Orochimaru who stood up again. After several hours of torture with illusions and the pain of a broken arm, any ordinary ninja might have been completely unable to withstand it, but Orochimaru is still considered a strong Kage Level.
The bleeding stopped and the breathing calmed down.
Orochimaru has somewhat readjusted his own condition.
It's just that at this moment, Orochimaru has completely lost the confidence he had before. Under the seemingly calm surface, the fear of Shōji is faintly revealed in the depths of his pupils. He was not aware of it before, but at this moment, after experiencing Shōji After Sharingan Genjutsu was tortured, Orochimaru also clearly felt the fatal flaw in his soul, and Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan seemed to be the biggest nemesis of this flaw!
In other words, you may not need a strong person of Uchiha Shōji's level. Any top-notch Jōnin with Three-Tomoe Sharingan among the Uchiha Clan can easily ravage you!
After all, the reality before Orochimaru is that Shōji did not activate Mangekyō Sharingan. Of course, this can be regarded as a misjudgment by Orochimaru himself. Shōji did not activate Mangekyō Sharingan, but only used illusions in Three-Tomoe Sharingan mode. But there is still a clear gap between Tomoe Sharingan and Tomoe Sharingan. Even if Mangekyō Sharingan is not actively turned on, the Dōjutsu Power that comes from its passive blessing is enough to make Tomoe Sharingan of Shōji far surpass those of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan clan members!
Not to mention that Shōji's eyes are still a higher level Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
He can easily use Tomoe Sharingan to subdue Orochimaru, but it does not mean that any Three-Tomoe Sharingan member of the clan can do it.
This is a 'qualitative' difference.
It's just that at this point, Orochimaru obviously couldn't think so thoroughly. He didn't have the corresponding data. He could only make this judgment subconsciously, which was also due to the feeling of terror that Shōji had just brought to him.
Of course, apart from fear, Orochimaru is just like Original Work, with endless greed for 'Sharingan' emerging deep in his heart!
This kind of power is exactly what he dreams of!
Although that ray of greed is very hidden, it is so clear under Shōji's Sharingan, and of course other small actions, Shōji's insight is like fire.
"Orochimaru-Sang, in front of my eyes, everything you do is in vain. You should give up those meaningless thoughts of yours. Believe me, these are useless. If you do them, you will only regret it more!"
Shōji looked at Orochimaru with a calm expression. The threatening words spoken by Chi Guoguo also made Orochimaru's expression stiffen slightly. Only a second later, the deliberately forced calmness was revealed again. Zhise said, "Shōji is truly worthy of being called the contemporary Uchiha Asura. This power is really enviable. This is your victory, Shōji, okay, I agree..."
Even if he doesn't want to, Orochimaru still has no choice but to bow his head here. Since Shōji's strength was originally superior to him, and now his attributes are completely defeated, he doesn't have much room for resistance.
Signing an alliance under the city is Orochimaru's only choice, and even so, as cunning as Orochimaru is, he doesn't really think that people will let him go. After all, if they get along in different places, Orochimaru will definitely not let go of an enemy that he can easily trample and has a certain value. Orochimaru intends to make a fool of himself and run away immediately when he sees the opportunity.
"!?"
Kimimaro, who was sitting next to him, also changed his face suddenly when he heard Orochimaru's words. Even though the last half of the sentence hadn't been spoken yet, he could still guess a hint of Orochimaru's plan, but even if it was true. Even so, Kimimaro still remained silent. He had already planned to dedicate everything he had to Lord Orochimaru, so no matter what decision Orochimaru made, Kimimaro would have no regrets.
But also in this moment.
"Well, forget it. Judging from that boy's appearance, he really doesn't want to go with me. I won't force you on this point. But in exchange, Orochimaru-san, can you agree to my two small requests? If so, then I can let you, Orochimaru-san, take this boy away!"
Shōji's words that fell slowly.
While making Kimimaro look surprised.
Orochimaru on the side also suddenly raised his head, looking at Uchiha Shōji on the opposite side with a look of surprise and uncertainty. At this moment, Orochimaru was wondering if Shōji had a deeper conspiracy, and his expression became more and more tense.
