Chapter 17: Orochimaru's Choice
"You want to learn science?"
Xue Hui raised his eyebrows, which was a bit unexpected for him, but he thought about it and felt that it was reasonable.
"I know your question to Hizaki, you want to find the true meaning of life?"
Xue Hui looked at Orochimaru.
"Yes, I think that's what I'm looking for, becoming a ninja is just one way, but now, I've found a more direct way from you."
Orochimaru replied truthfully.
"I see."
Xue Hui nodded, lost in thought.
In Orochimaru's anxious and expectant gaze, Xue Hui finally spoke:
"Yes, but it's not something you can learn in a few months."
The joy on Orochimaru's face flashed.
"I understand, Teacher Xuehui!"
"No, you don't understand, I'll only stay in Konoha for another month or so at most, and when the negotiations on the same day are over, I'll rush back to Vortex Village as soon as possible."
Xue Hui raised his hand to stop Orochimaru, who wanted to speak, and continued:
"Don't worry, I know what you're trying to say, you want to come to the Vortex Country to find me, it's not the time yet. I need you to follow me and Hizali to practice ninjutsu and improve your strength now, this is an era of ninjas after all, if your strength is insufficient, then you can't do anything, do you understand? ”
After Orochimaru calmed down, he nodded in understanding.
"Very good, don't worry, you still have time, wait until you have enough strength, come to Vortex Village!"
Xue Hui looked at the Great Snake Pill on the upper road with satisfaction and said.
"I understand, I'll try to become a ninja like my teacher as soon as possible!"
Orochimaru said with a firm face.
"That's right, oh, that's right, tomorrow I'll call Jiraiya, I'm going to teach the three of you some basics of the sealing technique, anyway, I'm going to give the sun a slash, and it doesn't make a difference to teach you in advance."
Xue Hui commanded before leaving.
"Yes, Teacher Xuehui."
Orochimaru said respectfully to Xue Hui who was leaving.
……
Another week passed, and Xue Hui's negotiations with the day had reached the final stage, and Xue Hui was already counting the days of returning to the village.
But at this time, a major event happened that interrupted Xuehui's plan.
On this afternoon, there was a fierce battle in the Uchiha's clan land, and the explosion caused by the collision of fire escapes was heard by the entire Konoha Village, not to mention the Thousand Hands clan land, which was in the same center as the Uchiha, and Yukiki rushed out as soon as he heard the noise.
Passing through the unguarded Uchiha gate and coming to the center where the noise came from, Yuki saw that most of the Uchiha ninjas had gathered here, and to Yuki's surprise, it was not the expected conflict between the hawkish Uchiha and the dove Uchiha.
Rather, the ninjas of these two factions are besieging the neutral Uchiha.
This surprised Xue Hui greatly, and what surprised him even more was the performance of the Uchiha Mirror.
I saw that he was surrounded by several clansmen in the center, and he seemed to be outnumbered, barely holding on.
Xue Hui frowned, looking at the situation in the field from a place where no one noticed.
"It shouldn't be, even if the strength of the mirror is besieged, it won't end up like this, otherwise I won't be able to easily beat the mirror with multiple shadow clones? But the fact is that instead of being useless, I was really dazzled by the feedback of the multiple shadow clones, and I was caught by the mirror. ”
"Something must be wrong."
Xue Hui observed carefully, but unfortunately there was no way to see the state of the mirror's face at this time.
But before Xue Hui could understand the general situation, the mutation in the field forced him to take action.
"Fire Escape, Dragon Fire Technique!"
Several Uchiha clansmen seemed to be angry, and they didn't stop anymore, and together they cast a superior fire escape.
The clansmen who were fighting with the mirror jumped away in time, and the fire escapes in all directions fiercely struck the Uchiha mirror.
Originally, Xue Hui was not worried, with his understanding of the mirror, this level of bag clamping did not experience too much on the battlefield before.
But the fact is that under Xue Hui's watchful gaze, the Uchiha Mirror did not react in the slightest, and his hands hung down as if he had given up struggling, allowing the blazing temperature of the dragon fire to approach his skin.
"Cut!"
Xue Hui let out an unhappy sound, and then threw the kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God at the Uchiha Mirror.
At the moment before the plural fire escape was about to hit the Uchiha Mirror, Yukiki's kunai flew in front of the Uchiha Mirror, and the next second it was about to pierce into the mirror's body.
"Huh!"
Xue Hui's figure suddenly flashed to the side of the mirror, and grabbed the kunai who was about to pierce the mirror, and the next moment, the fire dragons in all directions hit the two people in the middle under the witness of the crazy Uchiha around them, and at the same time produced a huge explosion.
After a few seconds, the smoke cleared, and several Uchiha looked at each other to see if there was anyone else in the center.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The hidden place that Xue Hui used to observe, Xue Hui and the Uchiha Mirror suddenly appeared, and then Xue Hui let go of his hand and half-knelt on the ground coughing non-stop.
"Whoa!"
Immediately afterward, the frost armor on Xue Hui's exterior turned into broken ice and sprinkled all over the ground.
"The transfer is slower, ahem, sure enough, this kind of flying thunder god is not suitable for me, and I was affected by the fire escape explosion, and I inhaled some thick fog."
Xue Hui coughed while enduring the dizzy sequelae of the Flying Thunder God.
"Snowglow ......"
Only then did the Uchiha Mirror come back to his senses and realize what had just happened in a split second.
"Mirror, you owe me your life now!"
Xue Hui was still joking at this time, raised his head and said to the mirror.
It's a pity that the Uchiha mirror didn't appreciate it at all, slowly shook his head, and said lonely:
"You shouldn't have come, let me die at the hands of my clansmen like this."
"That's not going to work!"
Xue Hui completely ignored the tone of the Uchiha Mirror, and retorted forcefully:
"In my eyes, the entire Uchiha is not as important as you alone, if I have to choose, I would rather let these Uchiha who attacked you die."
"You! Alas—forget it, it looks like I'm not going to die. ”
The Uchiha Kagami looked at the belated Hokage and the Shadows, and looked at the clansmen who had suffered casualties with sad faces.
"Mirror."
Xue Hui suddenly lowered his head and shouted the name of the mirror in a low voice.
"Huh?"
The Uchiha Kagami subconsciously responded.
"Bang!"
The unexpectedly punched by Xue Hui was swung from the bottom to the top, hitting the Uchiha Mirror's jaw without any hindrance, and after a sound of fists and flesh intersecting, the Uchiha Mirror's entire body was knocked into the air by Xue Hui, and then slammed into the ground.
The Uchiha Mirror was stunned by the sudden attack, and lay on the ground for a long time without reacting, wondering if it was because he himself didn't want to get up.
