Orochimaru was lonely.
No one could truly understand what Orochimaru was thinking.
When everyone was held back by their companions and relatives, Orochimaru had already left them far behind, walking on the most crazy path.
Eternal life.
Only eternal life could pry into the truth of the entire Ninja World, and had enough time and energy to analyze endless knowledge.
"The soul space and time space that specializes in the reincarnation ritual has been established by me. As long as I want, I can locate it at any time and devour soul..."
Orochimaru laughed crazily.
He casually threw out a snake and bit this poor ninja to death on the spot.
Originally, according to his plan, it would not be so fast to develop undead reincarnation, but Yuuji and Kazue, these two young bodies with unlimited potential, deeply stimulated him.
He could not wait any longer, and could not wait to give up this old body and possess a younger body.
"Hmph, in order to develop the Art of Reincarnation, I have temporarily put aside my research on the curse seal... Moreover, the village must have sensed that something was wrong."
Orochimaru licked his lips. After so many days, he finally walked out of the laboratory again.
He breathed in the air outside.
"Hmph, Orochimaru, you've gone too far. Sandaime and Yondaime have already set their eyes on you."
Danzo stood outside the laboratory, looking coldly at Orochimaru.
His entire body was still wrapped in bandages, as if his body was still unwell.
Orochimaru sneered: "So what? Now that things have come to this, do you think I still care about these things? And the village?"
"... Indeed, to a poisonous snake like you, these external things are completely worthless. However, this old man has to warn you that even if you break all ties with Sandaime and Yondaime in the end, you are absolutely not allowed to reveal this old man's affairs."
Danzo slowly raised his head, and a crack appeared in his terrifying eyes.
Otherwise, I will kill you here even without Sandaime and Yondaime making a move.
"If you change your right hand, your words are unyielding... I know, even if I leave the village, I still need your help, right? Cooperation is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice for the two of us." Orochimaru spoke in a hoarse voice.
These two fellows were Old fox, so they naturally wouldn't mix in something as boring as the Will of Fire.
They only ran for benefits.
After a long time, Danzo nodded with slight satisfaction. He raised his right hand and slowly lowered it. "That's good. This old man will be your source of information and help in Konoha... Remember what you said! Otherwise, this old man will bring my disciple along. Ninja World will find you and kill you no matter what."
Danzo snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The sound of the walking stick hitting the ground slowly spread out and gradually disappeared into the dark underground passage.
The light bulb flickered and.
Orochimaru stood in place for a long time before he stuck out his long tongue and swung it with a look of infatuation.
"Danzo, after mastering the two blood abilities of Mokuton and Sharingan, your mentality has swelled up. This old bastard thinks that he can suppress me..."
Orochimaru let out a strange laugh.
However, there was indeed a trace of fear in his eyes.
If Danzo really had control over Izanagi, with ten eyes on his body, and a batch of eyes on him, he would be able to use them immediately...
Even someone as strong as Orochimaru would feel a headache, and he completely didn't know how to kill Danzo. He could only rely on time to delay.
In the end, even if he could kill Danzo, he was afraid that his chakra would be exhausted, and his combat strength would drop all the way to the lowest point.
What a cunning old bastard, actually bringing your disciple to chase after me? Unfortunately, your disciple might not be your disciple, and maybe he will become a part of me!
Orochimaru laughed in a low voice, raised his foot, and slowly walked out of this long and complicated laboratory.
In the end, he stood on the street of Konohagakure.
The crowd came and went, and everyone's faces were filled with a smile that could not be concealed, confidence, and full of hope.
Ninja World's First Ninja Village, the village was thriving, the strong gathered, and fought against the outside world again and again. This led to the people of the entire village to have different spirits.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
Some of the villagers recognized Orochimaru and immediately bowed and greeted him respectfully. Their faces were filled with reverence.
Sannin had always been an important pillar of support for the village since the Second World War.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, also nodded slightly in response, making some villagers feel flattered.
"Orochimaru-sama has always been like this. Even if he doesn't know the civilians, he is still very polite." A villager sighed and looked at Orochimaru with respect.
If there was such a person to protect the village, the prosperity of Konoha would never fade, right?
Everyone firmly believed.
However, these simple and honest villagers had not realized what was about to happen.
They also did not know what Orochimaru was going to do next.
"Under the illusion of prosperity, there is no need for Root to protect such a village."
Orochimaru walked on the street, as if he was shopping.
He was using his last precious time to observe everything from a perspective he had never seen in the past.
Shua!
Anbu and Root's Ninjas had long set their eyes on Orochimaru, and they stood in the distance, carefully following him.
However, Orochimaru completely ignored their interest.
He immediately found his target in a food store.
"This, this, and this... add more chili! The more, the better!"
"Oh, is it really okay for a girl like you to like insanely spicy food?"
"Heh, what do you know? To me, spicy food is the most delicious food."
Anko came out with a pile of meatballs, a satisfied look on her face.
She had lost her sense of taste and could not taste sour, sweet, bitter, and salty flavors, but if it's spicy, there was no problem, because spicy was essentially a kind of pain.
This was also the only way Anko could taste the taste of food - add more chili.
"Ah, Orochimaru, Sensei! Why are you here?" Anko was shocked. She hurriedly picked up the big and small bags in her hands. Her face was full of joy. "I bought a lot of delicious food. Not only the meatballs, but also the squid..."
"I saw it all, but you ate so much chili. You might get pimples on your face." Orochimaru's voice was low, with a kind of coldness that was completely different from the past.
But the careless Anko did not notice that she was like the past, jumping to Orochimaru's side. She held the food with one hand and grabbed Orochimaru's hand with the other.
This was very normal for Anko. In the past, they had always been like this.
Her relationship with Orochimaru was closer than that of an ordinary master and disciple. They were more like father and daughter.
Orochimaru had an indifferent expression on his face. He was dragged by Anko all the way back home.
Anko carefully placed the food on the table, wanting to share it with her most respected Sensei.
"..."
Orochimaru was expressionless. He stretched out his tongue and casually curled it up, eating a few sticks of spicy meatballs into his stomach.
This taste... was terrible.
It was so bad that Orochimaru couldn't help but want to complain. He hated sweet foods to begin with, and then this sweet food went crazy with countless layers of chili...
"Sensei, you usually like sweet foods. It's not bad to change your taste occasionally..." Anko was very happy.
Was there anything else that could make people happier than this? She would share her favorite things with the people closest to her.
Although she subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Orochimaru Sensei, who seemed to be a little silent, this was not a big deal.
Finally.
Orochimaru opened his mouth: "Anko, what will you do if I leave one day?"
"leave? Are you going to carry out a mission? Then.... I want to go too." Anko's cheeks puffed up.
Orochimaru's eyes were cold. "Not on a mission, but to leave the village. This rotten village makes me feel sick. The new leaves can't hide the rotten tree trunks anymore."
"Ah? Then Sensei plans to travel around Ninja World like a traveling monk?" Anko paused and said as if nothing had happened.
"Hahaha, Anko, you have already said so much. If you still don't understand, then you will disappoint me... With your wisdom, you already know what I am going to do, right?"
Orochimaru let out a low laugh: "I, have decided to defect, leave this disgusting place, and chase after what I want!"
Defect?
Anko felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his entire being was frightened.
Sandaime Hokage's disciple, one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, who had made countless contributions to Konoha... wanted to defect
"Why Is it because of the Hokage? Because you didn't become the Hokage, you were..."
"No, I don't care about this kind of thing. A mere position of the Hokage can't bind me."
Orochimaru ate the last string of meatballs, so spicy that he could not help but throw his tongue out.
"So, Anko, do you want to go with me? You have to make a serious decision. You are only 12 years old. Every decision is enough to affect your future in decades."
Orochimaru stretched out his hand to Anko.
Anko trembled all over, staring blankly at Orochimaru's hand.
As long as she was willing to extend her hand and put it on the palm that had brought her warmth, she could still have Orochimaru, Sensei.
The price was that she also wanted to defect... to betray this village? To leave this village that had countless delicacies and countless companions?
"... No, I won't leave with you, definitely not! I will also stop you from defecting!"
Anko wiped away the tears on his face.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!
A poisonous snake suddenly pounced on Orochimaru, but Orochimaru choked it to death in an instant.
"What a pity. It seems that you still chose the village. However, this is not beyond my expectations. The Will of Fire..."
Orochimaru laughed in a low voice. The next moment, his neck suddenly stretched out, and he opened his mouth to bite Anko's neck.
Crack!
Anko let out a miserable scream. When Orochimaru retracted his head, three strange magatama appeared on Anko's neck.
It emitted a hair-raising sizzling sound, and at the same time, a power that made Anko feel strange suddenly spread.
Powerful, but uncontrollable.
"This is the last thing I can leave for you. Anko, make good use of it. Don't die..."
Orochimaru had a strange smile on his face.
Heavenly Curse Seal.
Although he had spent a lot of time on developing the Corpse Reincarnation, it was inevitable that he would lose some time to study the curse seal.
However, the results that he had accumulated previously still existed, and it was not impossible for him to barely activate this unstable curse seal.
"In this way, there is another way out... The combination of the Corpse Reincarnation and the curse seal of heaven..."
Anko fell to the ground in pain. Before she fainted, she vaguely heard this sentence and immediately fainted.
On her body, a large number of strange runes were constantly squirming on her body, emitting a powerful aura.
Orochimaru pushed open the door and left, looking up at the sky outside.
Anbu and Root's Ninjas, who were watching Orochimaru from afar, did not find anything wrong for the time being, but it was only a matter of time.
This amount of time was enough for Orochimaru.
"Should I attack Yuuji first or Kazue first? It's really hard to decide..."
Orochimaru's eyes shone with a terrible light.
He wanted both Nuclear Release and Mangekyou.
However, considering that Nuclear Release had to deal with an unknown companion beast... the risk seemed to be higher.
"Hmph, then let's seize Kazue's body first. This young body..."
Orochimaru licked his lips.
What? Kazue is a woman? What does that matter? Orochimaru didn't care about this kind of detail at all.
Orochimaru strolled along the streets, and from time to time, he would send out secret signals to search for Kazue.
Some people who seemed to be passers-by, but were actually Root Ninjas, immediately appeared, deciphered and deciphered the code, and then went to investigate the whereabouts of Kazue.
"I can't see any problems for the time being..."
"Orochimaru behaved very normally. He had a meal with his disciples and went shopping, but he always felt that something was wrong."
Anbu stood in the distance, staring at Orochimaru's every move.
They saw that Orochimaru, who was wandering around, had reached the area close to Uchiha's territory.
When the members of Konoha's garrison saw Orochimaru, they would nod to show their respect.
Facing Orochimaru, no matter how arrogant they were, they would not show any negative emotions to him.
After Orochimaru went far away.
"Phew, this is the power of one of the Sannin. It's really terrifying. I feel like my breathing is a bit rushed."
"Orochimaru, what a powerful ninja. But if Lady Kazue joins our garrison, we naturally don't have to be afraid of him!"
"Sigh, I don't know why, but Senior Kazue has no interest in joining Konoha's garrison at all. This seems to give the clan elders a headache."
"That is also something that can't be helped. Ever since that clan meeting, when Lady Kazue activated Mangekyou's ocular arts to suppress the entire venue, no one dared to criticize her."
"This is the position brought about by strength!"
Several Konoha guards praised.
Suddenly, a captain frowned and looked at a corner.
He saw Anbu disappear in a flash.
"Anbu? Why is the Hokage here?" The captain's heart skipped a beat, but he could not figure out the reason.
...
Orochimaru finally found his target.
Moreover, while moving forward quietly, he passed by Kazue once. Both sides did not look at each other from beginning to end, as if he did not exist in the first place.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, what an interesting junior. Have you already noticed that something is wrong?"
Orochimaru's eyes were gloomy, and he walked back and forth on the bustling street, quietly following Kazue.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, were getting faster and faster.
Kazue was expressionless, looking for a place with few people. Finally, he arrived at a ruined path.
"Orochimaru, you've been following me for so long. Is there something you need?" Kazue looked calm.
"Hehe, I like you more and more. If not for this occasion, maybe we could have become friends..."
In Orochimaru's eyes, his snake-like pupils were vertical like a needle, brewing a strong malice.
"Although I don't know what you want to do, everything you do in front of my eyes is destined to be in vain."
His eyes slowly opened.
Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly appeared, and terrifying eye power erupted.
Just this pair of eyes made Orochimaru reveal an intoxicated expression: "What a beautiful pair of eyes. If these eyes are for me, I think they will emit even more gorgeous colors."
Hidden Shadow Snake Limbs!
A large number of poisonous snakes suddenly drilled out and wrapped around Kazue, tightening around her more and more.
"So that's how it is, you're coming for my Mangekyou... Even you, one of the Sannin, are nothing more than a rat on the ground. You can only hide in the shadows, hoping that you will never be able to obtain something."
As Kazue spoke, numerous ribs suddenly appeared on the surface of her body, and astonishing chakra spread out, easily breaking the large number of poisonous snakes.
Orochimaru sneered: "This is Susanoo... but don't get too complacent, little brat! There are still many things you don't know!"
Ka!
Orochimaru's mouth became bigger and bigger, and suddenly, his tongue wrapped around a strange longsword, and he instantly stabbed it.
Bang!
Under Orochimaru's full control, this incredibly sharp katana collided with Susanoo's ribs with a loud bang.
"This degree of sharpness is not an ordinary weapon..."
Kazue lowered his head to take a look.
This weapon was probably... the Kusanagi Sword? Yes, it seemed that Yuuji-san had once talked about this weapon. It was a good opportunity to grab it and give it to Yuuji-san.
Shua!
A skeletal arm suddenly grabbed out, tightly grasping the Kusanagi Sword.
At this time, Orochimaru started again with a sneer on his face.
Ninja Art - Ten Thousand Snake Array!
The earth suddenly caved in, and countless large snakes crazily drilled out. With a loud bang, they surrounded Kazue. These large snakes of varying sizes tightly wrapped around Kazue, as if they were holding a... snake burial!
"I have to get rid of you as soon as possible. Otherwise, the village will notice this place... You will feel gratified, little brat."
Orochimaru's mouth was wide open, and his entire head seemed to be about to tear apart. In the next moment, an incomparably huge Alabaster Devilsnake suddenly emerged from his mouth.
"Come, give your body to me!"
The Alabaster Devilsnake roared hoarsely, its mouth wide open as it fiercely bit over. It looked like it wanted to completely devour Kazue!
