Chapter 319: Shadows
Tanokuni is a huge stronghold hidden in the middle of a remote mountainous area. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and this is also one of the most important strongholds under Orochimaru. At this time, Orochimaru was in this stronghold.
In the training ground at the bottom of the stronghold, Orochimaru, who was dressed in evil spirit, was sitting on top of a thick python. Now Orochimaru looks like a wasted person. There is no way to do this, when he attacked Konoha at the beginning, his whole body was subjected to extremely strong seals because of the three generations of ghouls sealed. As a result, he was unable to use any ninjutsu that could only be done by sealing. At the same time, because of the seal of the three generations, Orochimaru was in a state of weakness in most of the day, even after two reincarnations and two young and energetic bodies, he still looked very weak. Now he usually uses the python under him to get around.
At this time, the person who was also in the training ground and stood opposite him was a handsome and tall young man, Sasuke, who had defected from the village.
Sasuke also looks a lot different from when he was in the village, and now he wears a Shinto robe similar to Orochimaru's, and he also has this thick rope tied around his waist. At this moment, he was holding the knife at his waist in his left hand, and his eyes were sharp at Orochimaru.
Compared to Sasuke, who looked a little nervous, Orochimaru's expression looked very relaxed. He looked at Sasuke who was standing there and said with a smile of anticipation in his tone.
"Come on, Sasuke, let me see how much you've grown?"
Like a starting pistol, Orochimaru's voice just fell, and Sasuke, who had been in a tense state before, instantly moved.
"!!Shh
Without hesitation, he pulled out his knife, and the cold light rushed towards Orochimaru like lightning.
"Hey ......"
Orochimaru laughed softly, and unhurriedly harnessed the giant python under him to step back.
"Is it so impulsive?"
While speaking calmly, Orochimaru lifted his weakness.
"Goo Goo Goo Goo ~~"
The wide sleeves of the robe squirmed rapidly, and then dozens of snakes rushed out of the sleeves of Orochimaru's robe. After these strange snakes came out of the cuffs, they swelled up wildly, and finally all of them reached the thickness of a bucket, and dozens of pythons as thick as buckets swept towards Sasuke!
"Whew!Whew!Whew!"
In the face of these giant snakes that made people's scalps tingle, Sasuke was not afraid, and a pair of red-colored writing wheel eyes moved quickly, and the trajectory of these snakes was analyzed clearly in just an instant. Wandering among dozens of snakes in a chic manner, and the knife in his hand did not hesitate to shoot. Xueliang's blade was extremely sharp, and he simply and neatly beheaded all the pythons around him.
"What a remarkable move, Sasuke's progress can be described as rapid. Moreover, he was now more and more proficient in the nature changes of the thunder attribute chakra. ”
Sitting on top of the python, watching the giant snakes he created being slashed one by one, Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction. With his eyes firmly fixed on Sasuke's muscular figure, Orochimaru greedily stuck out his tongue, he had become more and more eager to get Sasuke's energetic body, and now it seemed that Sasuke would soon be able to meet his requirements.
"Let me see your limits......"
The Great Snake King said expectantly, raising his other hand at the same time. From the sleeve of that arm, too, a large number of giant snakes appeared. These serpents joined the siege of Sasuke. But at this time, Sasuke Jane can be described as having divine help. The knife in his hand was getting faster and faster, and it was slashing through the air one after another, and ordinary people couldn't tell the trajectory of the knife at all.
"Writing Wheel Eye ......"
Seeing that Sasuke's movements were getting faster and faster, Orochimaru whispered excitedly, if there was anything he craved most in Sasuke's body, it would be Sharingan. At the beginning, he was full of infinite desire for the writing wheel, so he did not hesitate to shoot at Itachi in the Xiao organization, but unfortunately he hit a nail in the end. Itachi's strength is so strong, even he is not an opponent at all, and it is because of this that he has set his sights on Sasuke.
"It's so fast, I can't even see clearly. In that case, let's try this one again. ”
Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, and his long tongue turned into a slender poisonous snake, and the snake split again in an instant, and then the poisonous snake began to split continuously, changing exponentially in a split, and finally turned into countless poisonous snakes in the sky, besieging Sasuke.
"Whew!Whew!Whew!"
Sasuke, on the other hand, was still undisturbed by the knife in his hand, and at the same time kept flashing among the snakes, swimming like a dragon. Under his blade, the snakes in the sky continued to turn into headless dead snakes, and one by one the snake's head separated from the snake's body, flew high and then fell to the ground.
However, although Sasuke's speed of killing poisonous snakes is not slow, the snakes around him have not decreased significantly, all because the speed of Orochimaru's magic to generate snakes is too fast, and ordinary attacks are not clear at all.
"Cut~~"
Sasuke cut in disdain and annoyance, and jerked back a few steps.
"Boom!"
Pierce the tip of the knife into the ground, put it aside, and spread your hands out, as if there is a huge force about to burst out of your body!
"Thunder Escape: Thousand Bird Streams!!
An astonishing scene appeared, with Sasuke as the center, countless blue-purple arcs burst out from all over his body, and these arcs finally converged to form a huge thunderbolt sphere with Sasuke as the center and a diameter of more than two meters!
"Bang~Bang~"
The sound of electric sparks slamming into each other filled the entire training ground, and under this powerful electric shock, countless snakes were all turned into charcoal, and then turned into flying ashes!!
"Oh, I didn't expect to use this trick so early. However, Sasuke's Chidoriga-ryu power has increased again, nearly double the power of the last time I saw it. It seems that there is a lot of effort to change the nature of thunder. ”
Orochimaru said in admiration, and when he said this, he remembered Haruyo who almost killed him before, although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to say that Haruyo was the ninja he had ever seen who had made the most extreme change in nature. It was also at this time that Orochimaru briefly appeared for a moment of distraction.
Sasuke, who had been watching Orochimaru with his writing wheel eyes, seized the opportunity in time at this moment.
"Boom!"
Without hesitation, he pulled out the knife on the ground, and Sasuke actually maintained the thunderball state of Chidodori like that, and suddenly increased his speed, and at this moment Sasuke's destructive power and speed all reached the extreme!
"Wow~~~"
With sparks and lightning along the way, Sasuke rushed in front of Orochimaru!
"Poof!"
Without hesitation, Sasuke's knife stabbed into Orochimaru's chest, and the blade stabbed in without pause, leaving only one hilt outside.
"Uh......"
Orochimaru snorted, looked at the knife on his chest in disbelief, grabbed the handle of the knife with difficulty with both hands, and then tilted his head and lost his life.
Sasuke looked at the dead Orochimaru silently, didn't speak, just pulled out the knife inserted in Orochimaru's body, withdrew it into the scabbard, and stood there without saying a word just quietly looking at the corpse.
Soon, Orochimaru's corpse changed, and the small snakes scattered all over the place, and all those little snakes were lifeless.
The python hanging there was a little overwhelmed by the changes in front of him, and Zhang Huang was swimming in place.
"Sasuke, your growth during this period of time is really amazing, and now your strength is far beyond that of ordinary shinobi. I believe that it is not impossible to surpass Itachi at this rate of growth. ”
Orochimaru's body rose from the ground not far away, looking at Sasuke's face and praising it from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that the master appeared again, the python finally found a support again, and quickly swam over to carry the big snake pill.
Sasuke's expression didn't fluctuate in response to Orochimaru's praise, but he knew that he was still far from the brother who made him hate to the bone marrow, and now he was still a little difficult to deal with one of Orochimaru's clones. So even though he didn't show any joy because of his own improvement.
At this time, Orochimaru suddenly smiled and said cruelly to Sasuke.
"Sasuke, did you really want to kill me with that knife just now? Hehe, it's a pity, it's still very difficult for you to kill me now......
Orochimaru's words were full of murderous intent, as if he would suddenly destroy Sasuke with a hot hand in the next second. However, Sasuke didn't show a trace of fear, he knew in his heart that as long as he hadn't really grown to the point where he could make Orochimaru's heart move, then Orochimaru would never make a move on him. So he didn't pay attention to Orochimaru's current verbal provocation at all, he just turned around coldly and left here, and at the end he didn't say two words lightly to express his attitude.
"Boredom ......"
Sasuke walked out of the training ground calmly, and just as he walked up the stairs to the upper floor, Yakushidou came up to him, holding a stack of papers in his hand. When he saw Sasuke, he subconsciously nodded to Sasuke as a greeting, but Sasuke ignored him. The cold face made Dou shudder a little.
"Orochimaru-sama, Sasuke's ......"
Dou said to Orochimaru with some unhappiness, in his heart he always believed that Sasuke's existence was a great threat. The longer he stayed with Orochimaru, the more confidential information he came into contact with, including the information of the ancient family of Uchiha, and as for the origin of these materials, it can be said that it was written in blood.
As he learned more about this, the more he felt the danger of the Uchiha clan, and now he had a faint foreboding in his heart, that is, whether Orochimaru would be able to control Sasuke in the end.
Orochimaru, apparently not wanting to talk to Du about Sasuke, waved his hand to stop him and then continued.
"Dou, did you come here to find me for something?"
Seeing that Orochimaru was like this, he couldn't say anything, and instead talked about what he wanted to say to Orochimaru.
"My lord, our five small strongholds and two medium-sized strongholds in the border area of Tanokuni have been uprooted by Konoha Shadow and Cloud Hide, do you want to see if we are going to do something to fight back?"
Dou looked at the documents in his hand, and then suggested to Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru obviously didn't care much about this.
"It's okay, we have a lot of strongholds. Just make sure our biggest strongholds are okay. The resources and intelligence we have gathered over the years are sufficient. It's no problem to let those strongholds destroy them one by one, but if you can't do it, just pick some failed items from the cell and build a few strongholds to have fun with them. ”
Orochimaru said indifferently, but he didn't notice a hint of strangeness that flashed in Dou's eyes when he heard his words. In the last year or so, Dou has found that he has really begun to drift away from Orochimaru. At the beginning, when he took refuge in Orochimaru, the two could be said to be like-minded, and Dou also conscientiously assisted Orochimaru to successfully develop one forbidden technique after another, and became Orochimaru's most important deputy.
But now Dou found that everything had changed, and Orochimaru, who was addicted to immortality, began to become indifferent to all this in front of him after Sasuke's arrival, and even he never thought about what would happen if he didn't succeed in getting Sasuke's body in the future?
"Orochimaru-sama, the situation has become very serious now. It's been more than two years since Yunyin and Konoha jointly encircled and suppressed, and now we have lost nearly half of our stronghold. Even if we still have a considerable amount of manpower, there is already a big problem with the depth in which we can maneuver in such a severely limited development space. To be honest, I really don't know how long we will be able to hold on to Tanokuni if this situation continues. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to your and Sasuke's reincarnation ritual at all. ”
Speaking earnestly, Orochimaru also began to ponder after hearing his words. In the end, he chose to follow Dou's advice.
"That's right, then let's fight back and buy us some more time. As long as I get the Sharingan in the end, there will be no one in the ninja world who can restrain us anymore. So do you have any good ideas?"
Orochimaru said this, and smiled, as long as Orochimaru was not completely lost, he would still have the confidence to find the once high-spirited Orochimaru.
"Yes, there's an opportunity right now. Not long ago, we were contacted by someone from the Tunzang faction. He said he would like to be able to work with you again. He hopes to be able to exchange some information on the development of forbidden arts with you with some information about the current Konoha Shadows. ”
"Oh?"
Orochimaru's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that after such a long time, his former old superior would actually want to make a deal with him again.
"What information does he want?"
Hearing Orochimaru ask like this, he reported truthfully.
"He wants some information about the first generation of adults' cell and writing wheel eye fusion technology, I guess there may be some problems with the research on the side of the group, so he needs your information to further improve his research. ”
Dou said this, and Orochimaru groaned.
"Didn't you expect his research to come to this point? It seems that Tuanzang's ambition is not small......"
After a moment of silence, Orochimaru immediately made a decision.
"Promise him! I'd like to see where that guy can get to in the end?"
