58, secret meeting, Orochimaru's first appearance
Konoha Hidden Village, a remote pavilion, three men wearing Konoha ninja forehead guards, a chilling conversation.
Standing at the top of the pavilion is the big snake pill that transforms into Konoha Shangninja, at this time he looks ordinary, his expression is indifferent, his transformation is perfect, and he enters and exits Konoha like no one, no one can recognize him.
But if you look closely, you can still see the clues in his snake-like tongue and the evil light that radiates from his eyes.
The medicine man's pocket is still dressed like before, and his face is still sunny and smiling.
He has more experience than the other two in hiding his identity and infiltrating Konoha as a spy.
The third ninja is Mizuki.
His attempt to force Naruto Uzumaki to steal the Book of Seals failed, and when he was about to kill Naruto Uzumaki, who had saved Lu Mang, and the two of them, he was defeated by the sudden appearance of the shadows.
Half a month after escaping in a hurry, he received instructions from Orochimaru's men and secretly infiltrated Konoha Village to meet Orochimaru.
……
"I have to say, Mizuki, your actions are really a failure, you can't even beat two imps who aren't shinobi."
Although Yao Shidou's smile was bright, his voice was extremely cold, and his words were full of malice, with a posture of wanting to kill Mizuki.
"What's going on?"
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils were cold and ruthless, staring at Mizuki like a giant python watching food.
Mizuki was horrified, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and begged for mercy from Orochimaru, "My lord, my subordinates are not doing things well, but ......"
Yakushidou opened his mouth to interrupt Mizuki's defense, and unhurriedly knocked Mizuki into the abyss of fear.
"Mizuki, you still don't know what kind of sin you've committed, it's really disappointing."
He pushed the narrow-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his right index finger, "My lord has been preparing for the 'Konoha Destruction Plan' for three months later, and I don't know how much thought I have put into it.
Now because of one mindless action, you almost exposed the whole plan.
That's your biggest sin, not some misconduct, you know? ”
Mizuki retorted unconvinced: "Yakushidou, at most I exposed myself, and it was you who exposed the plan, right?" ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Yakushidou looked at Mizuki with amusement, as if he was looking at something interesting, not at a big living person.
"It was you who failed to test Konohamaru, but he grabbed the handle and had to flee from Konoha Village......"
"Enough!"
Orochimaru snorted coldly to stop the quarrel between the two, his golden vertical pupils looked at Yakushidou, and asked impatiently, "Yakushidou, explain the reason why you urgently summoned me here." ”
"Two things."
Yakushidou first erected two fingers, and then bent down the middle finger of his right hand, "First, as a container that adults fancie, Sasuke has been doing very well in recent times.
He was successfully promoted to Shinobi and made great progress under Kakashi Hachiki's training.
But because of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force Uzumaki Naruto, his mental state is not stable enough, or he is moving in a direction that adults don't want to see.
It's my responsibility to spy on Sasuke, but how to deal with this situation needs to be handled by the adults themselves, or I can be granted the appropriate permission.
If you want to take Sasuke now, there's a great opportunity right now.
Sasuke will go to the country of waves with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, and only Kakashi Kikashi will lead the team......"
Orochimaru categorically vetoed: "You don't need to pay attention to this matter, just monitor it from afar."
Sooner or later, he will go down that path, because that is his destiny.
Now, talk about your second thing. ”
"As you wish."
Yakushi shrugged, withdrew his last finger, and said with a relaxed expression: "The second thing, according to my observation, the Nine-Tailed Pillar Force Uzumaki Naruto has signs of loosening the seal in the battle with Mizuki, and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox may break the seal at any time. ”
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said happily, "This is a good sign.
If the Nine-Tails can intervene while the 'Konoha Collapse Project' is underway, it will save us a lot of effort.
In this way, before Sasuke and the others set off, Yakushi took Mizuki and the others to the land of waves to lay out and add some difficulty to their mission.
By the way, stimulate Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki and let them go faster on the road of fate. ”
As he spoke, he stopped, glanced thoughtfully at Mizuki, who was still on one knee, and then swooped down on Mizuki's side with lightning speed.
Mizuki didn't have time to react at all, and waited until there was a sharp pain in his neck before he realized what had just happened.
His face instantly turned from yellow to ruddy, and then from ruddy to pale, and his mouth opened so wide that he could almost stuff a whole steamed bun.
After a long while, he was a little more sober, swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, and said tremblingly: "Spell, curse mark, spell mark power?!" ”
The power of the curse seal, one of Orochimaru's genius inventions.
Based on Chongwu, a kind of escape technique researched in combination with the combat method of human pillar force.
The owner of the Sigil can have great power when using the Sigil, which is almost ten times more powerful than before it was used.
Of course, there is a great price to pay for using such a powerful retreat technique.
The longer the power of the sigil is used, the more damage it will do to the user itself, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
But for Mizuki, who had no talent in the cultivation of retreat arts, the power of the spell seal was the only way for him to become a ninja-level powerhouse, and it was also the real purpose of his defection to Orochimaru.
Unfortunately, he also knew that Orochimaru would not give someone the power of a curse at will, especially a failed ninja like him who couldn't even steal the Book of Seals.
Therefore, when he realized that he had obtained the power of the curse seal, Mizuki showed an extremely shocked expression.
……
And for Orochimaru, a small character like Mizuki is just a pawn that he can discard at any time, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
He just glanced at Mizuki, who was kneeling on the ground and thanked Dade, and put the matter behind him, and instead asked Yakushi about something he had doubts about.
"Yakushidou, if it's just because of these two things, it doesn't seem worth the risk of sneaking back to Konoha Village from the Land of Wind.
From what I know about you, you should have something else to hide from me. ”
"It's worthy of Orochimaru-sama."
Yakushi Dou praised Orochimaru from the bottom of his heart, and said the most fundamental reason why he had summoned this meeting.
"An interesting little ghost, and some kind of interesting ability in him that seems to be the 'Blood Inheritance Limit'."
"Blood Inheritance Limit?!"
Orochimaru's two golden vertical pupils instantly shrank into an extremely thin line.
