Red Bean continued to follow Orochimaru and walked in this science class.

The researchers who came and went on the road did not say hello.

Even if Orochimaru is the Hokage.

Or rather, this is the rule set by Orochimaru in the science class, he can't tolerate wasting time on such inefficient politeness, if he really wants to find him, then there must be something.

So the researcher on the road, at most, glanced at Orochimaru with respect, but other than that, he was busy with his own business.

"Red Bean, your endurance is very strong, and this is also what I value you."

“…… Teacher, if I want to be strong and keep up with them, what do I need to endure? ”

"Pain."

Orochimaru pressed the elevator button in front of him.

The elevator opens.

He walked into the elevator, and Red Bean hurriedly followed.

"In many cases, there is no point in enduring pain. The suffering in life will make people lose themselves, of course, there are also some people who can be tempered under the endurance of pain, break through themselves, and become strong in the true sense, of course, there are still very few such strong people. ”

"Jiraiya-sama is such a strong man."

"Of course, he was a man of great perseverance, though he was often too clumsy to find his way and indulge in something that he didn't know what to do. But he really has a determination to change everything, no matter how stupid the way he chooses, even if it is stupid, even stupid, he will still persevere. ”

“…… Teacher, are you looking down on him, or are you looking down on him? Red Bean asked a little sweaty.

"I've always looked up to him, he's my companion." Orochimaru said with a smile.

“……”

The elevator stopped and the doors opened.

Red Bean followed Orochimaru out.

"What about Tsunade-sama? What kind of strong person is she? ”

"She's a genius, and in some ways, she's as talented as me." Orochimaru exclaimed, "But she is a typical little woman, no matter how bold she looks on the outside, she still seeks someone to comfort her inside. She couldn't take the blow and became vulnerable. She wants to paralyze herself and live a boring life...... Wasted a lot of his talents. ”

It's praise and sarcasm.

So you can't afford to look down on your two companions?

"Of course, despite the fact that she is, she is still my companion." Orochimaru said with a smile.

“……”

"And you, Red Bean."

Red beans are a spirit.

"You're a—"

"Teacher, don't say it!"

Red Bean covered her ears.

Praise is okay, and the irony mixed with praise is avoided, and she can't listen to these heart-piercing truths.

“……”

After a while, seeing that the teacher didn't say anything more, Hongdou put down the hand covering his ears and looked at his teacher carefully.

After a while, she followed the teacher into an underground space with a lot of facilities.

"Let's get down to business."

Orochimaru spoke again, and Hongdou looked at him carefully, if you were to the point, it shouldn't be an evaluation of her, right?

"As I said earlier, there are many situations where there is no point in enduring suffering. A lot of meaningless suffering does not have a sharpening effect on people, but only makes people lose themselves more and more. And red beans, you have a strong endurance, which shows that pain has a lot of room for sharpening in you. ”

"Doesn't it mean that there is no point in enduring a lot of pain?"

"So it's about making the pain meaningful."

Orochimaru pushed his hand and turned on the switches of one instrument after another.

Then there was a start-up sound.

An instrument that looked like a white coffin stretched out a board that could lie flat.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"The physical examination cabin must conduct a physical examination on you before the start of the experiment, and accurately measure your data to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Teacher, you said the experiment, right?"

"Do you want to retreat?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.

Hongdou, who was so frightened that he shrank a step, clenched his fists when he heard this, and took another step forward.

"I must keep up with them! Especially the Itachi! You must not be crushed under him! ”

"Then let's go in."

Red Bean lay on the board happily.

Soon the board retracted and took her back into the physical examination cabin.

Then there was the buzzing and ticking sound from the medical examination cabin, which was accompanied by the fluctuation of chakra, which was obviously a high-tech mixed with chakra technology.

Soon after, the device spat out a long string of paper with many complex graphics and texts like passwords.

Orochimaru picked these up and looked at them seriously.

After all, it is about the disciples he cares about, not the experimental consumables that are not worth mentioning, so he must treat all this with a comprehensive attitude.

Not long after, when I heard Orochimaru say okay, without waiting for the board to stretch out, Red Bean couldn't wait to climb out of the physical examination cabin.

She didn't want to lie in this kind of coffin board, it was too unlucky!

Then, she looked at the teacher expectantly.

"It's going to be painful next." Orochimaru made an advance notice.

Hongdou clenched his fists and responded: "I'm not afraid." ”

"If you really can't bear it, you can give up."

"A little pain is nothing!"

"Alright, let's get started."

Orochimaru took out a bottle from a cabinet not far away, which contained a pale green liquid.

"What is this?"

"Comes with a highly concentrated nutrient solution with stimulating ingredients that stimulates your body while providing nutrients. It's a kind of early test, if you can't even pass this test, you can't move on to the next step. ”

"How do you use it?"

"Drink it, although I prefer injections, but after all, it's a test session, so it's safer to drink it."

"What happens to the injection?" Red Bean asked curiously.

Orochimaru opened the bottle and handed it to her.

"For you, it is estimated that there is a thirty percent chance that you will die of exhaustion if you can't stand the stimulation."

Agitate.

Red Bean swallowed.

Tilt your head and drink the liquid in one gulp.

Soon, her neck was swollen and red, and she fell to the ground, her whole body spasmed, and her eyes were wide open, which were bloodshot.

In this kind of consciousness that can still be felt, she heard Orochimaru-sensei say to her, "In the midst of this pain, try to stay awake." If you can't even stay awake, then the test will fail, and the rest of the process will be meaningless. ”

"Old, teacher..."

"Meaningless pain has no value, so red bean, work hard, try to make the pain you are suffering now, meaningful. Only by turning all this suffering into the truest meaning can you truly live in this world..."

Really... Live in this... In the world...

The whole world in front of me, along with the teacher's voice that could be heard, became distorted and untrue.

The pain she endured.

It's as if the whole world in front of you is distorted.

Is she suffering, or is the world passing it on to her?
