"What? Don't you want to leave with me?"
Anko backed away slowly, his big eyes full of confusion and his tone of voice hesitant.
"Why did the teacher leave the village and travel again? What about Hua Yue? He is also the teacher's disciple and will go with us, right?"
Anko's action of taking half a step back undoubtedly showed his inner thoughts, but Orochimaru was not lost because of this. A strange color flashed through his snake-like vertical pupils.
"Sure enough, compared to me as a teacher, you are more... forget it, since I am a master and a disciple, I will give you a precious gift before leaving. This is a gift that will allow you to catch up Uchiha Hanazuki a little bit. Don't resist."
In an instant, Orochimaru smiled coldly, and his neck suddenly shot forward like a snake preying on prey. Two sharp, hollow fangs suddenly stabbed Anko's delicate back of the neck.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Light blue fluorescence flowed, and Blut Vene, which could withstand the puncture of the sharp teeth, only persisted for a moment and collapsed in an instant.
Using the hollow fang injection technique, three Cursed Seal in the style of Tomoe were injected into it. The intense pain caused Anko to fall into coma in an instant.
"There is a one-tenth chance that this will be the key to unlocking Lock of the Sage that can give you more than ordinary ninjas."
"Okay, let me see your abilities, Uchiha Hanazuki, your abilities as a perfect immortal, hehehe..."
In an instant, Orochimaru left the laboratory. Without waiting for others to notice the inside story of the laboratory hidden in Konoha, he did not hesitate to temporarily abandon the experimental site where he devoted his efforts and memories.
The sun was shining brightly, and wisps of golden rays shone on that young face covered in cold sweat as big as a bean, and all the cells in his body were in severe pain.
The unstable Cursed Seal, accompanied by the Natural Energy that is difficult for ordinary people to perceive, is constantly eroding Anko's body cells and chakra, and is constantly amplifying her negative emotions.
'I... am I going to die? Teacher Orochimaru, why, what does it feel like, kill him, kill him, kill him!'
The remaining sanity in her mind was gradually overwhelmed by madness. The physical pain made Anko unable to move, and the mental pressure and confusion made her strengthen her faith.
I don't know when, in Anko's drowsy state, the faint fragrance of vegetation enveloped me with vitality, temporarily alleviating the pain in my body.
Anko looked so intoxicated that he couldn't help but take a deep breath and fell into a deep sleep, falling into a beautiful dream.
'A familiar and pleasant smell, this smell is...'
The sun sets over the western mountains, and the sky gradually darkens.
Anko, who was in a trance, opened his eyes. The pain and cold sweat on his body had disappeared without knowing when. The ceiling in front of him was strange yet familiar.
Wait, I always feel like I've forgotten something, this doesn't seem to be my home...
'No, here we go again!'
His expression gradually became numb, and he glanced down subconsciously. It was very white, very warm, and felt very familiar, but the touch didn't feel right.
Turning his head, the smiling face that he thought he couldn't see, and that popped out from time to time when he didn't want to, was now looking at him with a half-smile.
"Long time no see. It seems like you're not in a good mood. Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Gritting teeth, furious, filled with righteous indignation...
Even without turning on Red Eye, Hua Yue can still see that Anko's emotions seem to have gone from one extreme to another.
"Thank you for having the nerve to ask, bastard! One or two of them are like this. You can't see anyone all day long. Teacher Orochimaru is mysterious all day long and doesn't know what he is studying. This Master Anko almost died!"
After his brain shut down for a moment, Hua Yue seemed to remember something and struck it with both hands, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.
"Oh!!! Are you talking about Mr. Orochimaru's Cursed Seal? You can survive that kind of thing yourself. You are worthy of being a research-type ninja. Being able to touch the immortal form in the way of Cursed Seal is worthy of..."
As expected of the Hokage researcher with the highest level of scientific research in the world, Hua Yue just said these words in his heart to avoid irritating Anko who was not in the right state.
"Do you know where Teacher Orochimaru is going?"
Lying flat on the bed, Anko stared at the ceiling in a daze. After listening to Hua Yue's explanation of this special Cursed Seal, she finally understood her position in Orochimaru's heart.
There is a one-tenth chance that if you are unlucky, you will die completely. You are just a random chess piece arranged by Orochimaru. The last sentence is Hua Yue's rhetoric.
"Who knows? Snakes like to dig holes the most. God knows how many hidden strongholds he has hidden outside."
When the conversation changed, the white finger slowly pointed at Anko's shoulder and poked it gently.
Ding!
The girl's shoulders were as fair as jade and full of youthful vitality. At this moment, dim dark blue and regular flowing invisible ripples appeared, attracting Anko who was still in a state of loss.
"Is this? Wasn't it bitten into pieces by teacher Orochimaru?"
"Idiot, Blut Vene is not that fragile. As long as the defensive spell in the blood vessels does not disappear, it will recover even if it is temporarily broken."
"In addition, I assimilated the unstable Cursed Seal left by Orochimaru with Blut Vene. Now Blut Vene's defense power may not be able to be pierced even by Lightning Style's Chakra Blade."
Assimilating Cursed Seal and Blood Armor, who have the ability to communicate with Natural Energy, was a topic that Hua Yue set up casually when he mastered Sage Mode. Orochimaru thought that this way he could easily test his research progress, but it was still too new.
Anko, who was originally prepared to face pain and torture, opened his eyes wide, his purple eyes sparkling, and he couldn't help but marvel.
"Why doesn't it hurt at all? It seems like my whole body is full of strength. Even the chakra has been enhanced a lot. What's going on?"
"This is the normal Sage Mode. The physique has been greatly improved, the power of chakra has been increased several times, and there will be no excessive pain when being attacked..."
When Anko realized that this was the inheritance of power from the three legendary holy places of cultivation, she sighed quietly and murmured to herself.
"Is the gap between people really bigger than the gap between people and dogs? Is what Ebisu said true? Are you and me separated by a whole sea of stars?"
Hua Yue shook his head repeatedly, weighed it subconsciously, and said frankly.
"Isn't it 3 centimeters?"
Anko suddenly woke up and subconsciously pulled the quilt covering her body. The big-eyed cutie couldn't stop flashing beside her, which made her even more embarrassed.
"You guys, haven't you seen enough? If you hadn't saved me again, sooner or later, I, Mr. Anko, would have killed you. You will only be honest until the day you die, huh."
"This is not the first time. Compared to the last time, the little pigeon seems to have grown a lot bigger..."
With those shy and almost murderous eyes, the curtains were slowly drawn to cover the dim starlight, and the lamp was blown out to pull out the wax.
A few days later, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi officially abdicated, and Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato succeeded him. Except for Kumogakure, the other major ninja villages officially ceased war with Konoha, and Land of Fire entered a period of peace.
One year after Fourth Hokage took over, on July 23 of this year, Hua Yue, who was immersed in research and exercise, looked at Konoha Hospital, his eyes flashing, implying excitement.
