Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

"What a foolish people!"

Orochimaru stood on the edge of the cliff, with a very calm expression on his face, as if he was commenting on the drama between ants.

He didn't seem to notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from another hilltop. After sighing, he stood still.

"Out?"

It wasn't until an inconspicuous figure emerged from the Hidden Mist Village below that he changed his expression again and whispered.

The flexible tongue licked the lips, and the pale cheeks showed a bit of evil, and the golden vertical pupils seemed to see their own prey.

He turned around and walked towards the back calmly. In addition to witnessing this rare scene, he came to Kirigakure today to collect some things that he was interested in, including people and objects.

But now, the person he is interested in has appeared, and he is ready to receive it. It will be a prophetic meeting.

Kimimaro, who was stumbling and seemingly panicked, didn't know how he walked out of Kirigakure Village.

All he knew was that after eating the food, his mind was filled with violent emotions, as if it was filled with explosives.

Then, as soon as he walked out of the dungeon, he saw many ninjas wielding swords, so he followed his inner instinct and took action.

But as the fight continued, he gradually calmed down.

Seeing that the number of ninjas of the same clan around him continued to decrease, he became more and more confused and confused, so he strangely got out of the fight while fighting.

"Is this the meaning of my existence?"

He was half kneeling on the ground, his hands covered in blood.

These are naturally the blood of others, and they still retain a trace of warmth at this time.

Although he was very young and had never even experienced actual combat, with his innate ability and fighting instinct, all the ninjas who faced him were killed.

but.

This is not what he wants.

For as long as he could remember, he had been locked in a dungeon and never seen the light of day. Now that he finally came out, he went out to kill people, risking his life to kill people without any scruples.

The reason for the killing is unknown.

The purpose of the killing is unknown.

It seems that the meaning of his existence is to kill people at this moment?

This meaning has no value at all!

A word flashed through his mind.

Wiping the blood off his hands with the weeds on the ground, Kimimaro stood up and continued walking deeper into the mountain.

Since he still doesn’t know the meaning of existence or the meaning worthy of his protection, then he will go find it!

One day, he will be able to find it.

Now no one restrains his freedom, he is no longer a little beast locked in a cage.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly stared into the shadows not far away.

He felt someone there, an aura that he felt was unfamiliar and extremely threatening.

"who is it?!"

As he spoke, he took out his arm bone knife and held it in his hand, his pale face full of vigilance.

And the murderous intention that had not dissipated after just killing people resurfaced again.

A half-fuzzy figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

A masked ninja?

Kimimaro saw the figure in the shadow, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

So, he rushed out without hesitation.

The masked ninja had also participated in the siege and killing them before, so the guy in front of him was here to hunt him down?

Therefore, he took action angrily with the view of striking first, killing the strange ninja in front of him just like he had killed those ninjas who wanted to kill him before.

The petite figure ran nimbly on the ground.

His speed was astonishing, and the pale bone knife flashed a sharp white light in the night that made people's eyes bright.

Shi Yuan was also a little surprised.

He had only appeared here for a few seconds. He originally wanted to observe Kimimaro for a while before appearing again, but he never expected that the latter would discover his presence very quickly.

Just discover it when you find it, he is about to speak.

But the little devil in front of him rushed towards him with a ferocious expression, intending to chop him down.

This was very different from what he had imagined.

On the way here, he also deliberately recalled the scene when Kimimaro and Orochimaru first met.

Orochimaru said to Kimimaro calmly, "There is no meaning in living, but if you live, you may find interesting things, such as you meeting this flower, such as me meeting you at this time." Then Kimimaro Lu followed Orochimaru away with a look of surprise on his face.

But why did Kimimaro pick up his sword and prepare to kill someone before he even started speaking?

Is it because he is wearing a mask and Orochimaru looks like a human trafficker?

Ding!

Shiyuan pulled out a kunai in time to block Kimimaro's attack, and then planned to disarm the opponent with his backhand and take advantage of the situation to restrain the opponent so that the opponent could listen to him.

But Kimimaro seemed to have predicted his movements in advance.

The other hand swung vigorously, and a sharp bone emerged from the palm again, forcing Shi Yuan to push back, and then quickly retreated to distance himself.

Hey!

Kimimaro looked at the ninja in front of him. He seemed a little different from the guys he had met before.

Unexpectedly powerful.

"I do not have…"

Shi Yuan opened his mouth to explain, but in the next second he stopped what he was saying and jumped up from where he was.

Times times times--

Where he had just stood, several pythons with thick arms appeared biting on the ground.

The clods of soil on the ground took off instantly, leaving a mess.

Fortunately, the python did not continue to attack. After missing a hit, it coiled in place and vomited the message.

Shi Yuan's expression under the mask that escaped the attack suddenly froze, and he guessed who the person who appeared here was.

It was the original owner he planned to cut off - Orochimaru!

"I didn't expect that someone would hit my target?"

A hoarse voice came from the darkness behind the pythons.

Then there was the sound of clogs hitting the ground.

Shi Yuan fell aside, not in a very good mood.

Unexpectedly, he was confronted by Orochimaru. He obviously came here in advance to intercept Kimimaro, but he never thought that Orochimaru also came in advance.

He looked at Kimimaro, and then at Orochimaru, who was slowly revealing his figure in the darkness. His expression under the mask was slightly gloomy.

"Orochimaru!"

He growled into the darkness.

Hearing Shi Yuan's movements, the pythons first spat out snake messages at him as if to provoke him, and then coiled themselves very docilely at the feet of the figure who came out, looking even more like pets than Shi Yuan's Kimaru.

"Oh? It turns out I'm a Konoha ANBU ninja, no wonder he recognized me right away!"

Orochimaru stood still, a python slowly climbed up his arm along his body, and he looked at Shiyuan with a smile on his face, as if he had discovered something surprising.

On the side, Kimimaro also looked at the changes in the field in surprise.

His eyes kept flowing on Shiyuan and Orochimaru, and finally fell on Orochimaru with a hint of curiosity.

This new ninja seemed to have a magical power that made him feel close to him.

"Little one, are you lost?"

Orochimaru said to Kimimaro as if there was no one around, and the snakes at his feet and on his arms slowly receded.

Looking at Kimimaro now, he looked like a harmless weakling.

Kimimaro didn't speak, but compared to when he saw Tokiyuan take action directly, at this time he obviously had an indescribable closeness to Orochimaru, and actually looked at him with gentle eyes.

"Who are you?!"

His right hand still held tightly the bone knife he had just used to chop Shi Yuan, but the half of the bone spur exposed in his other hand had retracted into his body again.

"Me? I'm Orochimaru! The person who plans to give your life meaning, do you want to give it a try?"

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth raised, as if he was not surprised by the reaction of the boy in front of him. As he spoke, he extended one of his hands to Kimimaro as an invitation.

"is it okay?"

Kimimaro's eyes flickered, as if he was moving.

Tokiyuan, who was always wary of Orochimaru next to him, had a complicated expression on his face. He was also a stranger. Why did Orochimaru stretch out his hand as if to lead him away, but he was almost cut down before he could reach out.

People are indeed different.

However, the most uncomfortable thing for Shi Yuan at this time was that he was ignored by Orochimaru.

Narrowing his eyes, he slowly lowered his body, and surging chakra began to surge in his body.

A faint burning heat came out of his body. Maybe he could leave a deep impression on one of the three ninjas in front of him to announce his debut. He also wanted to know how capable he was against a real strong man.

"Oh, I forgot about you."

Kimimaro's emotional changes were seen by Orochimaru, and he immediately turned his attention to the ANBU ninja who had dodged his attack before.

He did not think that the latter came after him, the Konoha traitor.

Probably the recent anomalies in Kirigakure were known to Konoha, so they sent ANBU to investigate. Then the ANBU in front of them noticed the chaotic scene near Kirigakure Village and noticed Kimimaro, the young man who ran away from Kirigakure Village. Guy, so I decided to go forward and collect some information.

Then I met him who had been targeting Kimimaro all morning.

Seeing Orochimaru suddenly look over, Shi Yuan was shocked and said, "Is this kid your target?"

Just as he was speaking, Kimimaro had already moved closer to Orochimaru. He was obviously moved by what Orochimaru just said, which seemed meaningless to Tokiyuan, and chose to believe Orochimaru.

"The blood-stained ninja of the Corpse Vein, he is exactly the person I am looking for."

"It's you, the look in your eyes makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Have we met before?"

Orochimaru's peripheral vision glanced at Kimimaro, who had walked two meters closer to him, and a pleasant smile appeared on his lips. Then he stared at Shiyuan with a dangerous look and said.

"I am just a small character, but I am not qualified to interact with you, one of the three ninjas." A sneer appeared under Shiyuan's mask, and the muscles on his back were tense, ready to burst out with powerful power at any time.

"I haven't seen anyone from Konoha for a long time. I still feel nostalgic when I meet you today, so... you can stay!"

Orochimaru said hoarsely, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out a hand towards Shiyuan.

The wide cuffs exploded, and countless slender things sprayed out like a pour.

Shi Yuan's face froze, and he quickly closed his hands in front of his chest as he looked at the countless slightly open mouths coming towards him.

"Fire Release - Flame Dragon Technique!"

Instead of rashly using a trump card like Melting Release, he first used Fire Release to simply test Orochimaru's strength when he attacked him.

boom!

The snakes and the flames collided together, instantly making a sizzling sound and scattering the formation of the snakes. Then countless white smoke rose up, and the snakes disappeared, leaving behind a place that was bombarded by the flames and was scorched on the spot. corpse.

After neutralizing Orochimaru's blow, Tokiyuan jumped back and did not fight back.

"Good reaction speed, and the power of Fire Release is also very strong. It seems that many good talents have emerged in Konoha after I left!"

Orochimaru licked his lips, not at all annoyed by Shi Yuan's defeat of the snakes, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"After defecting, you naturally don't know everything about the village."

Shi Yuan said softly.

He naturally knew that Orochimaru had left a lot of backhands in Konoha, and the old guy Danzo had maintained cooperation and contact with Orochimaru all year round, but in this case, it was like a weapon that had to be displayed during the battle.

"You are not very young, but you can be sent by a third-generation old man to carry out the task of spying on the intelligence of the Ninja Village alone. Your identity is not that difficult to guess."

"Kakashi Hatake is one, Shisui Uchiha is another, Metkai is another, and finally, Tokigen Sarutobi, who has recently been hailed as the No. 1 new generation of the Sarutobi clan because he defeated the Raikage. "

"Combined with some simple information, such as the monkey pattern mask, proficiency in fire escape..."

"Sarutobi Tokigen?"

"Am i right?"

Orochimaru looked at Tokiyuan standing opposite him leisurely, and finally said a name with a smile.

"This guy……"

Shi Yuan was shocked. He didn't expect that Orochimaru would guess his identity all of a sudden even though he had deliberately avoided using ninjutsu that would reveal his identity in an instant.

That face that seemed to be in control of the whole situation really made him want to punch it and smash it to pieces.

"The intelligence mentioned that you have mastered Melting Release, so do you want to save it for later and use surprise?" Orochimaru continued, his face calm.

Looking calmly at Orochimaru's pale face, Shiyuan felt that he was losing the initiative.

His idea of ​​taking Kimimaro away has been shattered, so now there is actually no need to stay here and entangle with Orochimaru. As for fighting, judging from Orochimaru's attitude, after recognizing his true identity, the other party did not The idea of ​​continuing to fight to the death.

If there is no certainty of victory or defeat soon, then there is absolutely no point in risking a fight on the edge of Kirigakure Village.

Of course, this is the reasoning of a normal person like Shi Yuan, and it does not mean that Orochimaru really thinks this way.

After all, his speculations were based on his great understanding of the strengths of both parties, and Orochimaru did not know his true strength.

"Do you want to keep me?"

Shiyuan noticed the changing expression in Orochimaru's eyes and seemed to feel something.

"I finally met an interesting junior, which aroused my curiosity about Melting Escape."

"Kimimaro, step aside, maybe this is my first lesson to you!"

He then said this to Kimimaro who was standing beside him, obviously determined to take action.

After saying that, he grinned, and his golden vertical pupils suddenly shrank a bit.

"Yes!"

Kimimaro nodded solemnly. He was also very curious about the man who said he wanted to give his life meaning. Maybe there would be a chance to get to know him later.

When Shiyuan heard Orochimaru's words, he was surprised and very calm.

This is indeed Orochimaru's behavior. He has his own set of mechanisms to instigate the next action for people or things he is interested in.

For example at this moment.

Tokiyuan's identity was clearly analyzed under Orochimaru's simple analysis, and even for such a powerful enemy who mastered Melting Release, he would not easily choose to retreat.

He was very interested in being able to independently develop the time source of Melting Escape, so he decided to waste some time to try it out. No matter what the result was, he didn't need to consider what was available or not.

If possible, Shi Yuan may also become one of his targets.

But Orochimaru's behavior not only did not scare Shiyuan in the slightest, but instead made him excited and looking forward to it.

Testing the strength of a ninja is naturally to fight an opponent whose strength is equal to or even stronger than one's own. There is no doubt that Orochimaru's strength at this stage is definitely the top in the ninja world.

He hasn't started the so-called 'reincarnation' yet, and he has almost no major weaknesses.

It may be an exaggeration to say that he is a hexagonal warrior, but at least he is also a pentagonal warrior.

Therefore, such an opponent is undoubtedly strong for Shiyuan!

The world is afraid of Orochimaru, but he is not like this.

Although it is really disgusting to see such a slender and dense creature like a snake, the flame in his hand is not vegetarian.

Swish!

While thinking about it, Shi Yuan only felt that his eyes were blurred, and Orochimaru came to him at a strange speed and route.

That ferocious perverted expression, that pale cheek with long hair, that twisted body like a snake...

"Melting escape!"

Although Orochimaru took action without any morals, Tokiyuan was not caught off guard. With a thought, he directly used the useless method that he had hidden before.

In an instant, most of his upper body was covered by a layer of melt, and the hot breath surged in all directions.

Immediately, he punched Orochimaru, who was rushing in front of him. The molten fluid flowed on his fist, and the air was torn apart by the high temperature, speed and force, creating a trace that was close to a vacuum.

"Is this your melt escape?"

As a former Konoha high-level executive, it was not that Orochimaru had never fought against the melting ninjas.

There was a ninja in Iwagakure Village who used Melting Release with similar properties to Tokiyuan at the moment. The opponent was not only a Melting Release Bloodstained Ninja, but also a Four-tailed Jinchuuriki.

But looking at the hot magma that enveloped Shi Yuan at this time, he still couldn't help but squint his eyes in surprise, as if he had returned to the original scene.

But he was surprised, and Orochimaru would not stop there. He could just test the mastery of Melting Release by the junior ninja of Konoha Village in front of him.

The two figures collided instantly.

boom!

The red hot liquid splashed in all directions, and Orochimaru's clothes were also dripped by the magma, and many holes the size of raindrops appeared.

When it drips onto the skin through clothes, the melt reacts strongly with the skin, as if droplets of hot oil are dripping on it, white smoke and squeaking sounds are constantly rising.

"scare!"

Kimimaro, who was standing aside to watch the battle, clenched his fists, and the bones of his arms were vaguely sliding downwards.

However, he soon discovered that Orochimaru was fine.

Even if he was splashed by the hot magma that dropped on the ground and formed a smoking pit in the blink of an eye, it didn't cause him much reaction.

The pale skin flushed slightly, then nothing else happened.

This made Kimimaro slightly relieved.

The first time he and Orochimaru were fist-fighting, Tokiyuan occupied some of the top positions.

The power blessed by Melting Release allowed him to easily push back Orochimaru.

So he jumped up again and landed instantly.

bang bang bang --

Orochimaru was already at a disadvantage in the first attack and was currently retreating.

Then a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, on the ground after Shiyuan jumped to the ground, molten escape continuously gushes out from the ground.

One after another, springs like large fountains spread towards Orochimaru's position from far to near.

"drink!"

Caught off guard, Orochimaru was hit by the melting force that suddenly rose from under his feet.

Hot and violent!

pat!

He was like a piece of tattered cloth being slapped to the ground, and the large burn marks on his chest made people feel chilly.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Kimimaro has some special emotions towards this man who wants to give his existence meaning.

Although today was the first time they met, he had already identified this man who looked a little sinister.

But unexpectedly, within a few rounds, Orochimaru was knocked away by the guy named Sarutobi Tokigen.

Everything happened so fast, he didn't have time to react.

So, when Orochimaru fell to the ground, he shouted with a hint of worry.

But as Orochimaru's opponent, Tokiyuan would not think that he could defeat him so easily.

After landing, he looked warily at Orochimaru, who had not responded for a long time. He slowly raised his hand as a gesture to attack again.

Swish!

Kimimaro stood between Tokihara and Orochimaru, and he squeezed a bone knife tightly.

Shi Yuan frowned and did not continue to attack.

"What a good boy!"

Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang in Kimimaro's ears, and then he felt a hand gently put on his shoulder.

Looking back, it turned out to be Orochimaru who had just been knocked to the ground.

"Sarutobi Tokigen!"

"I remember you, but it seems I can't continue to play with you this time! I hope I can have the opportunity to really experience Melting Release next time we meet."

"I like the look in your eyes, but you can't seem to let go? What is it that restricts your actions?"

Orochimaru, who appeared behind Kimimaro, didn't seem to have any injuries. Even the holes burned in his clothes when Tokiyuan used Melting Technique just now disappeared completely.

Swish Swish Swish--

After he finished speaking, a large number of snakes emerged from behind him.

The overwhelming swarm of snakes gave Shi Yuan goosebumps all over his body.

"Are you leaving?!"

Shiyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Orochimaru and Kimimaro who were gradually disappearing behind the snakes, as if they didn't understand each other's behavior.

The one who was about to hit him just now was the one who was about to leave now.

It started but ended, and Shi Yuan felt as if he had punched cotton when he burst out with strength.

boom!

Molten magma sprang out from the ground with a radius of two meters around the source.

The snakes released by Orochimaru hit it and turned into white smoke.

Bang-bang-bang explosions continued to sound, and in Shiyuan's perception, the auras of Orochimaru and Kimimaro also disappeared.

After finishing the snake group, Tokiyuan swept towards the position where Orochimaru was knocked to the ground before. There was a human-shaped clod there.

"Earth clone?!"

Shiyuan was a little silent. It turned out that the attack he just made was to defeat Orochimaru's earth clone, and he didn't even see when the other party released the ninjutsu.

Sure enough, none of the three ninjas are simple characters, especially a guy like Orochimaru who has been immersed in ninjutsu for many years and has mastered countless forbidden techniques!

After calming down his breathing briefly, Shi Yuan also planned to leave here immediately.

After all, the noise of the battle just now was not small.

At this moment, he looked to the side as if suddenly awakened.

whoosh whoosh—

More than a dozen figures jumped out from over there and surrounded him.

"whispering sound!"

Shiyuan found the reason why Orochimaru chose to stop and leave. He made a disdainful sound towards Orochimaru, but the face under the mask still maintained solemnity and vigilance.
