Aoba noticed Yumi's thoughts very early. But he did not respond.
In his mind, this was because he had saved their mother and daughter, which gave Yumi a kind of repayment mentality. What he needed to save Karin was the help of future Karin. It had a purpose in itself. He did not want Yumi to repay himself in this way.
But soon, he discovered that Yumi's thoughts became more and more obvious. He was even almost noticed by Karin.
People in Naruto World generally mature early and get married early. Yumi is actually not that old. She is only three years older than Aoba.
Faced with Yumi's enthusiasm, Aoba would be lying if he said he was not interested. But during this period of time, all his energy has been focused on improving himself. He really has no energy to respond to Yumi's enthusiasm.
Until today.
After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Yumi lay in Aoba's arms.
"Aoba, I have now been able to initially grasp Wood Release in my body. I can help you. No matter who your enemy is, I will stand by your side."
"I know. But I want to tell you that I am walking on a very dangerous path. You must be mentally prepared."
"I heard you say that this doesn't seem to be a danger that can be avoided by hiding, right?"
"Yes, no matter where you hide, there is no point. Unless we can completely solve the problem."
"That's right. I, Karin, will always be on your side."
Just when the two were being affectionate, Aoba heard a strange movement in the yard. His expression moved slightly.
"Wait for me here."
When I walked out of the house, as expected, there was a white snake in the yard.
"Long time no see Lord Orochimaru."
"Haha, Aoba-kun, you look a little different."
It is different from the previous strong promotion. At this time, Aoba is no longer afraid of Orochimaru. In fact, if he confronts Orochimaru now, he is 70% sure that he can defeat the opponent.
But if you want to kill Orochimaru, you have to go a long way. After all, this one is notoriously difficult to kill.
"I have gained a little bit from my practice so far." Aoba responded simply and clearly.
"It's really amazing. We have already traded twice. These two times, I got incredible information from you. During these times, I also did some verification. Mr. Aoba's information is really amazingly accurate."
This is indeed what Orochimaru will do. After all, Hokage is the number one scientist. In fact, if he had not been overly obsessed with Itachi Uchiha, his achievements with Sasuke should have been higher. Unfortunately, the magical power is not as good as the number of days. Sasuke is the Child of Destiny of this world, and he is destined to fail.
"Really? Are Lord Orochimaru preparing to make a new transaction this time?" Aoba was worried that there was no place to practice Wood Release's ninjutsu. Orochimaru just came to his door.
He has no doubt that Orochimaru has the information on Wood Release. This guy was responsible for the transplantation of Hashirama Cells in the early years and has been studying Wood Release for who knows how long. With his character, he will definitely have a backup.
"Of course, Mr. Aoba. I can't wait to learn more secrets from you."
Orochimaru's tone became more and more strange. Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly. Suddenly Kusanagi Sword took action, turned around and raised the knife.
There was a clang and a clear sound of metal collision. At some point, another Orochimaru appeared behind Aoba.
This guy is actually his real self this time. And he is planning to fall out with Aoba.
Aoba couldn't help but feel that he had overestimated Orochimaru's bottom line. I originally thought that it would be safe to trade at least one more time. But I didn't expect that this guy hadn't seen him for half a year. As soon as he met, he took action directly.
It was probably the information he had verified before that had stimulated him. He was now sure that Aoba had some kind of huge secret. This secret made Orochimaru almost crazy. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to do it once and for all.
Seeing Orochimaru take action, Aoba was not angry, let alone scared. To be honest, if Orochimaru had come a month earlier, the first thing he would do now would be to send a signal for help.
But now, he has completely mastered the transplanted body and has mastered the new power. At this time, he is not afraid of Orochimaru at all.
The two of them played ping-pong in the yard for several rounds without worrying that people outside would hear it.
Since ANBU was introduced last time, Aoba has added more defensive spells around it. As long as the movements are not too big, no sound can be heard outside.
Neither of them used large-scale ninjutsu. They only relied on small ninjutsu such as Taijutsu, Body Flicker, and Substitution Technique to engage in fierce confrontations at close range.
Aoba didn't even use Sage Mode. He just relied on his new physical strength to directly suppress Orochimaru on Taijutsu.
With the support of abundant chakra, the entire yard is filled with Aoba's wind blades. This sharp cutting power is the nemesis of Orochimaru Soft Physique Modification.
Orochimaru was obviously aware of this. But he was also not in a hurry. Aoba was slightly confused for a while, and then he was relieved. Orochimaru really made the wrong idea this time.
At this time, in the room, Kabuto Yakushi, wearing glasses and a smile on his face, stood in front of Yumi and Karin.
"Little girl, you are the one Lord Orochimaru likes. I don't want to hurt you. So, can you persuade your mother not to do anything?"
"Bad guy, go away. Otherwise, my brother Aoba will kill you."
"I don't deny that Aoba Kamikawa is a dangerous character. But I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to take care of you now. Madam, I don't want to hurt you.
Your name is Karin, and come with me. I can give you the power of revenge. Everything you encountered in Kusagakure can be repaid with your own hands one day. But in Konoha, talents like you will only become mediocre."
Kabuto Yakushi's hand shimmers with chakra. Chakra Scalpel, Kabuto Yakushi's signature ability.
"This will be very uncomfortable, so don't force me to do it."
Seeing Kabuto Yakushi preparing to take action, Yumi took a step forward and protected Karin behind him.
"Are you sure you want to take action?"
There was a sense of eagerness in Yumi's tone. This made Kabuto Yakushi feel inexplicably uneasy.
No, that's not right. She is just an ordinary woman and has never received ninja training. She cannot be a threat.
Outside the house, the battle between Orochimaru and Aoba has become intense.
Orochimaru In the plot, there are not many demonstrations of swordsmanship. Every time he uses a sword, he mostly performs acrobatics such as swallowing the sword with his mouth and spitting the sword with his mouth.
But during the fight with the opponent, Aoba discovered that Orochimaru's swordsmanship was actually very good. It was definitely top-notch.
Neither of them used all their strength, but were waiting for something in a tacit understanding. Until a loud noise came from inside the house.
The corners of their mouths showed smiles at the same time.
