'To go or not go?'
Kisame thought for a while and decided to go. After all, the place for the appointment was in the alley behind the hotel. Even if an accident occurs, the third Mizukage and others in the hotel will notice it immediately.
He wanted to see what Orochimaru wants, and if he can get information about the Kusanagi sword.
Kisame put on his clothes, opened the window and jumped down.
After a few minutes.
He came to the alley.
'Zizi.'
The street lights in the alley were damaged, they flickered brightly and dimly from time to time, whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose is not know to anyone.
In this slightly gloomy atmosphere, Orochimaru stood quietly under the street lamp with long black hair. His skin was pale, and his golden snake pupils glowed strangely in the darkness, which was really scary.
It's like a horror movie setting.
Kisame's first thought when he saw Orochimaru was to tell the director Yamamoto that he should find this person to play the villain, not him.
"Hoshigaki Kisame, you are here." Orochimaru said leisurely.
"Orochimaru-dono, it's so late, I don't know why you are looking for me?" Kisame asked as he wanted to know what he planned.
"It's nothing, I just want to get to know you, the genius of Kirigakure."
Orochimaru smiled, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right hand, and instantly shot more than a dozen poisonous snakes from his sleeves, that rushed towards Kisame.
This is Orochimaru's specialty jutsu. The group of snakes summoned from Ryuchi cave are more intelligent and powerful than ordinary snakes, and can intimidate, contain, bite, and entangle the enemy.
It is a powerful ninjutsu.
Facing Orochimaru's attack.
Kisame's eyes narrowed, but fortunately, he was mentally prepared. He raised the needle index finger, and shot a sharp chakra line from the fingertip that moved towards the group of snakes.
'Swish swish.'
Under Kisame's control, the chakra line moved back and forth, up and down, left and right, and just like in the fruit ninja game, and all the dozen or so poisonous snakes that flew in the face were cut into eight pieces.
Pieces of fresh snake meat, like dumplings, fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this scene, Orochimaru couldn't help but applaud and praised: "As expected of the champion of the Chunin exam, you are really amazing."
As soon as he finished speaking, in his slightly puzzled eyes, he saw Kisame weave a net with chakra threads and packed up the snake meat that fell on the ground.
"Thank you very much for the snake meat. I can eat more tomorrow."
Kisame showed a smile, as his face filled with the joy of the harvest.
When Orochimaru heard this, his face froze immediately.
'Snack?'
"It seems that my white snake who delivered the letter was also killed by you." Orochimaru said quietly.
"It turns out that you were angry because of this."
Kisame suddenly realized, and touched the back of his head with a simple and honest face, "I'm really sorry, I've been afraid of snakes since I was a child, so I reacted a little more excitedly, and accidentally killed it."
"Ha ha."
Orochimaru smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. His snake like pupils have been watching Kisame's index finger that sent the chakra line since just now.
He once swore that he would live forever and learn all the ninjutsu in the world, so as to gain insight into all the truths of the world.
But he had neither heard nor seen the kind of ninjutsu used by Kisame. Could it be...
Some kind of Kekkei Genkai?
Thinking of this, Orochimaru became more and more interested in Kisame, and couldn't help licking his tongue, as if he was staring at an exciting prey.
Kisame felt bad.
'Orochimaru shouldn't he have started researching Edo Tensei, so it can't be that he's staring at his body as an alternative to possess, right?
It's very likely.'
Kisame knew that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, and didn't want to drag too much with Orochimaru, so he opened his mouth to test him.
"By the way, I heard that Orochimaru-dono is knowledgeable in various fields. I happen to have a question that has been bothering me for many years, and I want to ask Orochimaru-dono for advice."
He pleaded humbly, and bowed slightly to Orochimaru.
"Oh? Please say it." Orochimaru's eyes flashed, but he wanted to see what trick Kisame was playing.
"It's like this, you should have heard that there are seven famous ninja swords of Kirigakure, which are in the hands of seven ninja swordsmen, symbolizing fame and glory. But in fact, my family also has an ancestral one. The sword is not inferior to the Seven Ninja Swords, it is called... Totsuka..."
Kisame made a serious face as he mentioned the Sword, along with a expression of longing.
"What!?"
Orochimaru interrupted Kisame's words, and his expression was no longer calm, but turned pale in shock, "The sword you said is called the Totsuka?"
At this moment, he was short of breath, his pupils were dilated, and he couldn't contain his excitement.
It's a treasure he has been searching for and dreaming of for so many years!
"Have you heard the name of this sword? As expected of Orochimaru-dono, it seems that I really found the right person."
Kisame had a happy expression on his face.
"The Sword of Totsuka, is it on you now?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura like a poisonous snake.
"No, the Sword of Totsuka has long been lost."
Kisame sighed and said, "When my father died, he left some clues for me to find the family's sword. He also said that the Sword of Totsuka is actually a Kusanagi sword, a legendary artifact, far surpassing the Seven Ninja Swords."
"Then... have you looked for it?" Orochimaru asked.
"No."
Kisame shook his head, "Before my father died, he was not well, so I always thought he was talking nonsense. How could the Kusanagi sword in myths and legends really exist?"
"Your father is right, you should listen to him." Orochimaru said earnestly.
"My lord has never seen my father, why are you so sure?" Gui Shark was puzzled.
"Because, I have a Kusanagi sword here."
After Orochimaru said this, he raised his head, opened his mouth, and spit out a snake. And the snake opened its mouth again and spat out a sword.
The whole body of the sword is white, thick and long, the blade is like a calamus leaf, and the hilt is decorated like the knuckles of fish.
At first glance, it is not ordinary.
"As far as I know, there are three Kusanagi swords in this world. The one in my hand is called Grass cutter. Like your family's Sword of Totsuka, it is made of the hardest material in the world."
Orochimaru showed Kisame the Kusanagi sword in his collection and talked about it eloquently.
"Really? Orochimaru-sama, can I... touch this sword?"
Kisame walked over slowly, and stretched out his hand.
He has decided that as long as he touches this sword, he will immediately use the Panda to devour it, so that Orochimaru can't even cry.
But.
Compared with the reckless man like Akebino, Orochimaru is obviously much more old-fashioned.
Snakes are naturally intelligent and cautious.
After experiencing the initial gaffe, Orochimaru has calmed down at this time.
His intuition told him that there was something wrong with Kisame, and this whole thing... seemed a little wrong.
So, before Kisame approached.
Orochimaru suddenly said: "This sword is too sharp, and it is rebellious. Sometimes it is out of my control and can easily hurt you."
Saying that, he swallowed the sword back into his stomach.
"Oh, I see."
Kisame stopped, and a hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes.
'Orochimaru is still too difficult to deal with.'
Fortunately, he has now determined that there is at least one Kusanagi sword in Orochimaru. If there is an opportunity in the future, he must find a way to grab it.
At this time, Orochimaru took the initiative to speak again, and talked enthusiastically to Kisame:
"Hoshigaki Kisame, if you need help, please share your clues with me. I will be happy to help you find the Sword of Totsuka."
"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru, but I won't bother you, I'll take care of it myself."
Kisame pretended to be cautious, and looked very wary of Orochimaru, as if the Sword of Totsuka was really his family's ancestral treasure.
Then, he faced Orochimaru and said goodbye to the latter while stepping back:
"It was a pleasure chatting with you today. We really hit it off. But it's getting late. I have to go back to the hotel to sleep now, or I won't be able to get up when I leave for the village tomorrow."
"Goodbye then, Hoshigaki Kisame." Orochimaru's eyes flickered, but he didn't stay.
The prey he was eyeing could not escape, and he was not in a hurry.
Before Kisame walked out of the alley, he suddenly decided to disgust Orochimaru before leaving.
So, he slapped his forehead, as if remembering something important.
"By the way, Orochimaru-dono, in order to thank you for your patience and enlightenment, that solved the confusion in my heart for many years, I also have a small piece of information here."
He looked honest and sincere.
"You're welcome, please speak."
"I heard that Your Excellency is the most respected disciple of the third Hokage. When he abdicates in two years, you will inherit the position of Hokage. These days, many Konoha villagers and ninjas I have met say this in private."
"Oh, I'm not interested in Hokage's name."
Orochimaru waved his hand and pretended to be not thinking about this.
However, Kisame is right in one thing, he is indeed the most proud and respected disciple of the third Hokage!
Orochimaru has been regarded by the third Hokage as a talented young man since he was a child, a genius who only appears in decades.
For this reason, Jiraiya has always been very jealous. Even during the party two days ago, when he was drunk, he complained that in teacher's heart, Orochimaru was always the only one.
Although Orochimaru is not so interested in the position of Hokage, if the third Hokage really wants him to inherit this name, he...
Will not refuse the teacher's kindness.
"Orochimaru-dono is really indifferent to fame and fortune. It seems that I think too much."
When Kisame heard Orochimaru say this, he immediately showed a look of awe and admiration.
"Oh? What are you trying to say."
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows as he heard something in Kisame's words.
Seeing that the other party was hooked, Kisame began to spread rumors:
"It's like this, I was summoned by Mizukage-sama after winning the Chunin exam, and when I went to see him, I happened to see him chatting with the third Hokage.
It seems that the third Hokage particularly value a young man named Namikaze Minato. He said that he is also very good to be the successor of the will of fire.
He even made Minato Namikaze pay his respects to Mizukage-sama.
That guy was the chief examiner for the third round of the Chunin Exam, and he was very partial to my opponent, his disciple Uchiha Obito, in the final.
For this reason, I hate this Namikaze Minato, so I tell you about it. I hope that if Orochimaru-sama runs for Hokage, you must not lose to him. "
