Deep, dark and silent atmosphere.
It must be said that after Orochimaru's personality changed drastically, not only did he become cold and indifferent in his behavior, but even his residence, once outsiders stepped in, they would feel an inexplicable coldness coming over him.
And it's in a big building.
In this dark night, not a single light was lit.
Those who don't know think that there is no one living inside at all, but Shōji can be sure that Orochimaru must have returned to his home today, unless he leaves again in a short period of time, which is indeed something Shōji cannot grasp. If that is the case, it can only be announced that Shōji's stealth today has failed.
In fact, when Shōji sneaked into the residence of Orochimaru, the traces of residual aura that could be detected clearly proved that Orochimaru must have left the residence not long ago. Placed in this space, but after Shōji circled the entire residence, there was still no trace of Orochimaru, and not even the fluctuation of Chakra was felt.
This made Shōji feel surprised.
'Is this guy really leaving here behind? Have you returned to your secret base, or somewhere else? '
Shōji stood outside Orochimaru's study, his single exposed pupil showed a hint of thought, and his brows were slightly frowned at this moment.
If this is the case, then Shōji really wants to adjust his plan and temporarily retreat here.
And just when Shōji circled around again and still found nothing, just when he was about to evacuate directly, Shōji suddenly discovered a rockery in the courtyard opposite Orochimaru's bedroom. The design is so subtle that ordinary people can hardly see it, but in Shōji's view, the slight sense of dissonance that arises spontaneously makes Shōji's eyes freeze, and he subconsciously turns on Sharingan, which is what attracts attention.
This clearly detects traces of Chakra fluctuations.
'Is that so? '
As far as the eye can see.
A glimpse of something different.
The corners of Shōji's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He approached lightly, and after groping with his right hand for a short time, he found a clever raised position, and Shōji twisted it gently.
"Crack!"
When a low and crisp sound fell.
A slowly rotating rockery.
A deep and dark hole emerged straight out.
Bursts of cold wind came from inside.
Shōji After pausing for three seconds, a sharp color flashed in his pupils, and the figure jumped down.
Falling straight to the bottom.
A long and slender passage was illuminated by the weak lights on both sides, and came into view of Shōji.
A secret base was built on the ground floor of his residence. It seems that this should also be the area where Orochimaru conducts various experimental research on a daily basis. Judging from the scale and configuration, as well as the materials randomly placed on both sides, it is very similar to the experimental place in Original Work that was blocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Anbu in the end, but it is not clear whether it is that one.
Shōji was thinking silently in his heart while stepping towards the inside position.
And almost when they were about to reach the end of the passage, suddenly, there was a subtle Chakra fluctuation. At the moment when Shōji detected it, Shōji first paused, and then There was a faint smile on his face, and his voice was deliberately lowered and became rich and deep. "Since you have already discovered that I am coming, why don't you show up directly? Is this your way of welcoming? Orochimaru?"
The figure of Shōji turned around and looked at the small sunken shadow on the left side of the passage. The scarlet and dark Sharingan showed in his pupils alone. It was so cold and so solemn at this moment.
"Haha, Sharingan, are you Uchiha Clan? Or are you someone who stole the blood of the Uchiha Clan?"
At the same time.
In the shadow corner, a slender, tall figure suddenly appeared.
Those enchanting pupils, pale skin, and hoarse voice were none other than the target person of Shōji's trip, that is, the owner of this house - Orochimaru. This Legendary Sannin was not surprised at all that he was discovered and could sneak into his house quietly. It was not until he got so deep that he relied on special mechanisms to detect him.
It is enough to prove the identity of the visitor.
Especially Sharingan, which is revealed in the pupils alone.
Under Orochimaru's seemingly relaxed and carefree appearance, his heartstrings were already completely tense.
"Huh, who I am is not important. What is important is what the purpose of my coming is, isn't it? Orochimaru!"
Shōji snorted and smiled. The next moment, the Sharingan in the pupil was changing, and the three Tomoe were rotating at extremely high speed. Then, in Orochimaru's pupil that suddenly shrank, Tomoe condensed, and the Four-Pointed Windmill Sharingan form appeared directly.
"Mangekyō Sharingan!?"
Orochimaru was screaming in surprise.
He also lowered his head suddenly in the next moment, avoiding eye contact with Shōji in less than 0.5 seconds. As a disciple of Third Hokage, he was the famous ninja of Shinobi World during the Second Shinobi World War period. Orochimaru clearly knows how terrifying Mangekyō Sharingan is, and that is the supreme secret of the Uchiha Clan!
And it is rumored that since the fall of Uchiha Madara, no one has opened Mangekyō Sharingan since Uchiha Clan.
wrong!
It should be said that except for that one person!
Orochimaru's thoughts can't help but go back to more than a year ago.
Nine-Tailed Demon Fox The raging scene, and the scarlet Sharingan reflected in the fox pupils.
Both Wood Release and Sharingan can restrain Tailed Beast. This is something that everyone with a certain status and knowledge in Konohagakure knows, but compared with Wood Release, Sharingan must be upgraded to the level of Mangekyō Sharingan to do this.
Ordinary Sharingan will not work.
Orochimaru, as one of Konoha High Command, naturally understands this.
This is why Konoha's fear and vigilance towards the Uchiha Clan skyrocketed after Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack. The previous Uchiha was just strong and made people feel troublesome, but it was not necessary yet. To the point of being completely fearful and vigilant, but Uchiha who has Mangekyō Sharingan is different. Why does Danzo in Original Work never believe in Shisui?
It's not because Shisui owns Mangekyō Sharingan.
In the opinion of Danzo, Uchiha Clan, who has these eyes, is the most untrustworthy person!
Who can guarantee that Shisui will not control Nine-Tails!?
Danzo doesn't want to take such a risk.
