Chapter 12: Orochimaru's overtures
After the death of Konoha White Fang, the criticism that was originally a bit noisy suddenly died down. Human death is great, and since Qimu Shuomao practiced his own forbearance with his life and blood, outsiders have no meaning in beaking. It's just that the fall of such a near-shadow level powerhouse has invisibly reduced the deterrent power of Konoha Village a lot.
Konoha White Fang, after all, is a super powerhouse in the Megatron ninja world. In the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash gradually aging, the famous three ninja is also in harmony with the gods, the runaway, the travel, the dormant, the deterrent power is greatly reduced. Among the new generation of ninjas, the Bo Feng Shuimen, who is cultivating the Flying Thunder God, has not yet begun to show its glory, and the Uchiha Fugaoka and Hinata Hinata have always stayed in the village, and their influence on the outside world is actually limited. And Kakashi, Kai, Sarutobi Asma and others who will shine in the future are all teenagers who have just graduated, and the strongest is only Nakashinobi.
At first glance, the strength of the Konoha ninja does have some appearance. This is also one of the reasons why the three generations of apes attach so much importance to ninja school education, as well as the cultivation and excavation of talents.
When Inuzuka was cultivating outdoors, he was born with strong spiritual power, and he was naturally particularly sensitive to the prying eyes of the outside world. The slightest sense of prying in the telescope technique of the three generations of Hokage did not escape Inuzuka's intuition. However, there is no malicious intent, and there are even most elements of care and protection. In addition, the number of times Ape Fei Ri snooped was not too much, especially when Inuzuka was cultivating in the family, the three generations also knew and never crossed the line, so Inuzuka has always been resigned.
"Whoosh! Syllable! "When Inuzuka was rubbing his hands in a water balloon on the way out of school again, and was passing through a remote street, a small pebble passed through the center of the water balloon, and the water balloon exploded instantly. Inuzuka's figure retreated, looking up in the direction where the stones were flying. The good end of the cultivation was interrupted, and the little guy's face instantly turned cloudy.
In his sight, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared. A black-haired cardamom girl who is holding her wrist and smiling, wearing a forehead guard on her head, looks like a lower ninja. The other is a tall middle-aged man with long black hair, a white robe, and a slightly pale face.
"Red beans! You're naughty again! The man spoke slowly. His voice was low and hoarse, yet full of indescribable magnetism.
"Oh! I was wrong, my lord! The girl known as Azuki stuck out her little tongue and grimaced at the angry Inuzuka tree, and then returned to her well-behaved side of the man.
Inuzuka Shu's upward gaze moved away from the girl's body, and when he made eye contact with the middle-aged man, the pair of vertical pupils like cold snakes instantly made him shiver.
One of the famous Konoha Three Ninjas, Orochimaru! Inuzuka recognized this evil and awe-inspiring big man almost at a glance. Then, the girl beside him, there is no doubt that it is his student and subordinate Mitarai Red Bean.
"Hey! It is very unreasonable to disturb other people's practice casually! That sister, you have to apologize! Inuzuka Tree's mind was full of thoughts, but in terms of momentum, he did not become submissive because the other party was Orochimaru.
"Oh?" Mitarai Red Bean's little face tightened, and a pair of eyes narrowed dangerously. She clasped her hands to her chest, raised her chin slightly, and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "Little ghost, don't you know that in the world of ninjas, the weak are not qualified to express anger?" ”
The Great Snake Pill on the side was silent, and seemed to agree with his disciple's words very much. A pair of snake eyes narrowed slightly, looking curiously at the little ghost who was ruthlessly despised by the red bean. He's the genius student who has been valued by the old man very much recently, Inuzuka Tree? Although he looked angry, his eyes were as clear as water. Well, the vitality in the body is also unusually vigorous, and the chakra in the body seems to be unexpectedly abundant. Interesting, he does have a good talent for ninjas.
Hearing Mitarai's arrogant words, Inuzuka's face suddenly calmed down. Being branded as a weakling, and even being rudely deprived of the qualifications for anger, as a man, even a four-and-a-half-year-old man, will not be willing to endure it. Even if there is a yin person like Orochimaru standing next to her, Inuzuka doesn't want to be looked down on nakedly.
"The weak are not qualified to be angry? So, do you dare to accept my challenge? As soon as Inuzuka's words fell, Yukimaru jumped from his hoodie to the ground, and also let out a whining demonstration at the red bean.
"You are such a little doll, dare to challenge me?" Azuki's expression became extremely surprised, and then he held his stomach and laughed. Then, she said to Inuzuka with a pout, "Ninja battles are not a game in your ninja school. If you're not careful, you'll get hurt or even die!"
Inuzuka smiled slightly, glanced at Orochimaru, who was watching the play, stretched out his fist and said to the red bean: "That's a lot of nonsense!" Just ask you if you dare? "At this time, Orochimaru still has illusions about becoming the fourth Hokage, and those forbidden human experiments may not have been officially launched. As a disciple of three generations and the commander of the Konoha ninja army all year round, Orochimaru is still very confident in competing Hokage. With Orochimaru on his side, there is no life-threatening risk in his own battle with Red Bean. After all, the voting intentions of the Inuzuka clan are also crucial to the ownership of the Hokage.
Since there is no danger to his life, Inuzuka Shu, who has full confidence in his own strength, is still afraid of a yarn? Don't be intimidated, just do it!
Orochimaru naturally noticed and understood Inuzuka's eyes, and couldn't help but smile dumbly. This doll is not a hot-blooded little stunned young man, it seems to be cunning! However, at the age of only four and a half years old, this face has a fearless appearance, does he really have the certainty of defeating red beans? Although Hongdou is a shinobi, he can go on a mission with himself for so long, but he has killed people and seen blood, so he is a very trustworthy subordinate.
"Where did he get his faith?" Orochimaru stretched out his usual tongue and licked his thin lips, a hint of an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
Inuzuka took his eyes off Orochimaru's face, he really couldn't stand Orochimaru's eerie appearance, and he stuck out his tongue, and he was so old and disgusting.
"Huh! My temper ...... "Mitarai Red Bean is a cannon temper, and was blatantly invited to fight by a four-year-old doll, and suddenly became angry, rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists, and was about to rush up to teach this little bean a lesson.
Inuzuka and Yukimaru glanced at each other, and the chakra on their bodies suddenly skyrocketed, and the momentum was not weaker than the Shimoshinobi red bean on the opposite side.
"Wait!" Orochimaru's figure suddenly appeared in front of Red Bean, stopping her with a flushed face.
He looked at the inuzuka tree in full swing, and a pair of vertical pupils narrowed dangerously. With his vision, he could naturally see that this little guy's chakra had reached or even exceeded the level of the lower ninja. Then, in order to protect his disciples, don't lose face, and of course, what's more important is that Orochimaru doesn't want to lose face. After all, it's not nice to say that your subordinates were defeated by a four-year-old doll! Besides, even if the red bean wins by luck, it doesn't make any sense, and it still has a reputation of bullying the small.
Now that the strength and potential of this little genius have been tested, there is naturally no need to start this kind of meaningless fight.
"My lord? Why are you holding me back? I want to teach this little guy a lesson that he will never forget! Red Bean leaned out from behind Orochimaru in confusion, and shouted indignantly.
"Enough!" Orochimaru's unique hoarse voice became a little cold, and Mitarai Red Bean's body suddenly trembled, and he didn't dare to croak anymore.
Inuzuka glanced at Orochimaru with strange eyes, and then he retracted his breath and stood up with his fists in a hurry. With that calm face, it seemed that Orochimaru had long expected that this competition would be interrupted.
Inuzuka gave a slight bow to Orochimaru to show his respect for the great Konoha Sannin. Then, a smile suddenly bloomed on a small face.
"Lord Orochimaru, as the saying goes, the son is not the fault of the father, although you are not the father of this young lady who is both impolite and bad-tempered, but you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, and you have witnessed such provocative behavior, why? Are you masters and apprentices going to join forces to bully my little doll? ”
Orochimaru's perennial ice-like face rarely showed a trace of unnaturalness. This is in Konoha Village, although the location is a little remote, but the surveillance in the shadows is almost everywhere. The Hokage's shadows, the roots of Danzo, and the protectors secretly sent by the Inuzuka clan, if Orochimaru teaches Inuzuka a lesson here, there is no doubt that he will soon become the target of criticism in the village.
Fortunately, Orochimaru is not interested in embarrassing a child, he is just more curious about this genius who is taken care of by his own teacher.
Of course, don't even think about making red beans apologize. Apologize or something, Orochimaru disdains it, even if his own disciple is rude first.
"When you have time, you can come to my residence and pick a ninjutsu you want." Orochimaru shook his head, shook his right hand slightly, and then turned around and left with red beans in style. Only a metallic hoarse voice was left behind, drifting away in the wind.
"Whoosh!" A flash of light suddenly appeared, and a thin, round object was inserted into the beginning of Inuzuka Tree. Inuzuka was startled, and subconsciously reached out and touched the top of his head, for fear that this old yin man would break his head.
The little guy let out a big sullen breath, and then looked down at the snake scale book in his palm. Orochimaru's exclusive token? Is this compensation for yourself? How do you feel that you are here specifically to send this favor? Otherwise, how could Orochimaru care about a child's opinion? Could it be that Orochimaru also has the intention of accepting apprentices for himself? Could it be that his appointment to apprentice with Watergate made him feel a little pressure on the prospect of competing for the fourth generation Hokage?
