Introducing yourself and telling your dreams has always been one of Konoha's traditions.
"My name is Uzumaki Kushina. I like salty ramen the most. I hate bitter food and tomatoes. My dream for the future..."
Kushina raised her head slightly and said seriously: "I want to become the first female Hokage in Konoha Village."
Orochimaru looked at her sideways when he heard this, nodded slightly, and signalled the next one.
Ren glanced weakly at Ye Zi who was looking away, paused, and whispered: "My name is Ren. I like rainy days the most and hate sweet things. My future dream is to become a man who stands upright. "
Orochimaru looked at Ren's weak performance from the inside out, frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Zi. The latter noticed the gaze, slowly turned his head, and straightened his gaze.
"My name is Ye Zi. My hobby is eating. There is nothing particularly annoying."
Ye Zi's eyelids drooped and he said calmly: "The dream is to find a way to go back."
The three of them were startled when they heard Ye Zi's dream. How to go back?
Kushina asked doubtfully: "What kind of dream is this?"
Ren also looked puzzled.
Ye Zi glanced at Kushina and did not explain.
Orochimaru took a deep look at Ye Zi, his eyes were calm, and he did not pursue the issue. He took out three small silver bells from his pocket and said: "Try to seize the bells from me, no matter what method you use, before sunset Those who can't grab the bell will go back to Ninja School to retake it. If they don't want to go back, they will try their best to grab the bell."
Hearing what Orochimaru said, Ye Zi and the other two were stunned. They thought that they could become genin after graduating from the ninja school, but they didn't expect that they still needed to pass the assessment to lead the team.
Orochimaru had never told him about this kind of thing. No matter what, he could never go back to the Ninja School. That would only waste another three years.
The eyes of the three people changed. Orochimaru looked at these changes, smiled coldly, stepped back a certain distance, and said calmly: "The deadline is at sunset, and the assessment begins now."
When the last note fell, the three of them immediately disappeared as fast as they could and hid in the hiding place they had thought of in advance.
One of the key points of the Ninja School's guidance is to be able to quickly find hiding spots, which can be used with blinding techniques such as the Substitute Technique and more practical uses.
After the three people disappeared, Orochimaru's eyes remained motionless, looking straight ahead. It seemed that he had not caught the movements of the three people. In fact, when Ye Zi and the others started to move, Orochimaru had already judged that the three people were hiding they're location, after all, there body skills and speed are still relatively immature.
Ye Zi hid in a low and dense grass far away, holding a kunai tightly in his hand, looking at Orochimaru as much as possible to his lower body.
Observing the legs can determine the movement, and avoiding Orochimaru's eyes can reduce the chance of being discovered.
"How can I get the bell?" Ye Zi stared at Orochimaru while thinking of countermeasures.
The locations chosen by Ren and Kushina were all in trees. Observing from top to bottom could also reduce the chance of being discovered.
Kushina is also thinking about how to seize the bell from Orochimaru, while Ren is thinking about how to secretly contact Ye Zi and Kushuna. In his opinion, the best way to seize the bell is to join forces.
When the three of them were busy thinking, Orochimaru made a move that was beyond their expectations. His drooped arm slowly lifted up, and Ye Zi couldn't help but follow the bell in Orochimaru's hand.
Then…
They saw Orochimaru raising his head expressionlessly, opening his mouth, raising his arm and throwing the bell into his mouth. With a grunt, they could see the wriggling motion of a foreign object slipping out of his throat, so they were convinced that the bell was really swallowed.
"Idiot!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Zi couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. At the same time, his position was exposed. He had no choice but to get up and jump out.
Ren looked at Orochimaru's throat stupidly, his thoughts were like a taut rope, broken without any hesitation, and his whole body felt bad.
Kushina glanced at Ye Zi who jumped out, and then looked at Orochimaru, who had made an astonishing move but his expression remained unchanged, covering his forehead and looking speechless.
How can I snatch away the bell that I swallowed? Is it possible to kill them first and then cut open their stomachs?
Ye Zi jumped out and stared at Orochimaru with strange eyes. After three years of being together, it was the first time that he discovered that Orochimaru had such a sexy side.
Facing Ye Zi's strange eyes, Orochimaru looked calm and said in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't matter if you restrain me, cut open my belly, or even kill me. There is only one thing you should consider. That thing is to seize the bell, there is no need to worry about other factors!"
What the calm voice told was the extremely indifferent reality.
This is just an assessment. Why does it need to be done to this extent?
Ren and Kushina don't understand, and Ye Zi won't understand either, but since Orochimaru has said this, Ye Zi won't hesitate at all.
Besides, he didn't think he had the ability to kill Orochimaru. The only thing he could do was to try every method with all his strength. At least, he wouldn't give up and couldn't give up.
Ye Zi raised the kunai and rushed straight towards Orochimaru.
"Front?" Orochimaru silently looked at Ye Zi who was rushing over, and took out a kunai.
Ye Zi's free hand quickly pinched a few shuriken pieces from the prop bag, and used both hands to throw the kunai and shuriken towards Orochimaru.
Several shurikens rotated rapidly in the air, drawing three different arcs and flying in the same direction, while the kunai flew straight forward.
Clang, Clang, Clang!
Orochimaru swung his kunai, accurately hitting three shurikens and one kunai, without any unnecessary wasteful movements.
At the moment when Orochimaru was attracted by the shuriken, Ye Zi had completed the seal. When he was more than one meter away from Orochimaru, Ye Zi's whole body suddenly exploded into a burst of white mist that dispersed in an instant.
Wow!
The white mist dissipated, and a handful of black sand appeared in vain, flying towards Orochimaru. At the same time, Ye Zi held a kunai and hid not far behind Orochimaru, staring at Orochimaru.
"Sand!? That should be..." Orochimaru jumped up directly to avoid the large sand. Ye Zi, who was staring at this moment, threw the kunai at Orochimaru who was in the air without hesitation. The latter didn't even look at it. Look, I caught the kunai flying from behind with my bare hands, and then landed safely.
After Orochimaru landed, he switched the kunai to his other hand, then opened his palm and looked at it. There was a slight wound on his index finger, and a few drops of blood oozed out.
"That is undoubtedly a substitute technique. Generally, the objects replaced should be mainly animals and plants. The purpose of using sand is not to avoid harm. If you are not careful for a moment, it will be quite troublesome if sand gets into your eyes."
Orochimaru silently looked at the disappointed Ye Zi, quite speechless. He really shouldn't comment on Ye Zi's use of the Substitute Technique. If he really wanted to describe it... it was simply a mess.
Being able to use the Substitute Technique in this way also reflects that the ninjutsu Ye Zi can use is too small. It is also true that the ninjutsu taught in the ninja school only has a few basic ninjutsu, and none of them are offensive.
