Konoha Task Maniac

"Is this my immortal curse seal?"

At this moment, Qin Qishi successfully bit Orochimaru's neck and planted an incomplete version of Kong Ming's curse seal on him.

Logically speaking, Orochimaru should be in a state of extreme pain at this time.

Moreover, his soul has been weakened a lot due to the use of immortal reincarnation, so the pain that touches his soul should be even more intense.

The fact was that Orochimaru was just like a normal person. Not only did he not feel any pain, he also turned to look at Nanami and asked the question.

"What a pair of terrifying eyes. I wonder what else you can't copy."

Without waiting for Nanami's reply, Orochimaru's body began to collapse like a puddle of mud, and eventually turned into a pile of mud.

"Earth avatar?"

Returning to his normal human posture, Yan Qishi looked at the puddle of mud on the ground and frowned, appearing very dissatisfied.

"Cut~"

After shaking his head, Qi Qishi ignored Kong Ming and Yamashiro Aoba who were resting on the tree, and left without saying a word.

...

Under a big tree not far away, Yamashiro Aoba breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Orochimaru and Nanami leaving.

It seems that he and Kong Ming should not have to die.

"Kong Ming, how do you feel now?"

After Orochimaru and Qin Qishi left, Kong Ming did not immediately lift the curse seal state.

Looking at Kong Ming who was covered in strange symbols, Yamashiro Aoba looked very worried.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me."

The main reason why Kong Ming did not immediately exit the cursed seal state was because he wanted to restore his chakra to full capacity.

With chakra, he can better display the strength of his clone Rin Qishi.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was because of upgrading the curse seal to the proficiency level, but he found that the so-called side effect of continuous mental damage was not as serious as imagined.

When he turned on the curse seal state, he did feel that his spirit was being oppressed in some way, and even felt a slight tingling sensation.

However, compared to the rapid recovery of chakra, this side effect is still bearable.

Of course, this may also be because the spiritual erosion of the curse seal has not reached the critical point, so Kong Ming felt that this side effect was nothing more than that.

However, he needed to pay careful attention to the fact that the cursed seal contained Orochimaru's soul fragment.

"Can Mr. Yamashiro still move?"

"It seems a bit difficult."

Yamashiro Aoba smiled bitterly.

If he could move, when Orochimaru targeted him and launched an attack, he would have run away long ago, why would he have waited in place for Kong Ming to come to the rescue.

Speaking of rescues...

"Kong Ming, your substitute technique..."

"what?"

"I mean, your substitution technique..."

"What body technique?"

"Substitute technique..."

"For what technique?"

Yamashiro Aoba: (???)

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Regarding the substitute technique, Kong Ming really didn't think of how to explain it.

The situation was urgent at that time, and he couldn't just sit back and watch Yamashiro Aoba die tragically, so he used the Substitute Technique's ability to teleport instantly regardless of the consequences.

Now it depends on whether Yamashiro Aoba is tight-lipped and whether he will tell the Third Hokage about the Substitution Technique.

Otherwise, you will inevitably face some troubles in the future.

"Teacher Yamashiro, are we just going to sit here and wait for Konoha's rescue?"

At this time, Kong Ming's chakra had recovered to a certain extent. He exited the curse seal state and looked at the sky, feeling that waiting on the spot was not a good choice.

"How about...you carry me on your back?"

After saying this, Yamashiro Aoba's old face turned red.

He felt very ashamed to have students carry him on their way.

However, he is really not very easy to move now.

The pain caused by the wound when moving is not bad, as a ninja, it will pass after you endure it.

But I was afraid of aggravating my injuries while moving.

He didn't die in the hands of Orochimaru, but died from the aggravation of his injuries afterwards. This way of death was too cruel.

"...Okay, I've almost recovered, just let me carry you."

After saying that, Kong Ming knelt down on one knee, his back facing the mountain city Qingye.

Obviously, let Yamashiro Aoba climb up by himself.

Looking at the not-thick but comfortable back in front of him, Yamashiro Aoye took a long breath and began to slowly climb up.

"Teacher Yamashiro, if you still have chakra, you can channel some crows out."

"While you were still moaning in pain, I had already channeled several crows to come out."

It is necessary to channel a few crows out. These crows can not only fly in the sky and act as vigilant sentries, reminding them of any danger ahead.

It can also become a guiding light when Tanaka Kazuo and Yui bring Konoha reinforcements.

"Wailing? Mr. Yamashiro, I'm afraid you are hallucinating. It is impossible for a tough guy like me to make such a shameful howl."

"But you obviously..."

"Okay, Mr. Yamashiro, let's talk about the happy things. We don't need to emphasize such small things repeatedly."

"But......"

"No but, Mr. Yamashiro, do you think that when we met Orochimaru on the way back to the village after completing the mission, will the level of the mission be raised again?"

"...Maybe."

...

On the road, Kong Ming carried Shancheng Qingye on his back, walking slowly and chatting.

With such a shared crisis, the relationship between the two parties seems to have deepened a lot.

Yamashiro Aoba Akira said that the reason why he did not go on a mission with the three of them was to cultivate Kong Ming's leadership skills and prepare for his future promotion to chuunin.

And Kong Ming also made it clear to Yamashiro Aoye that even if he was thinking about himself, he would still find an opportunity to severely stumbling him.

In this regard, Yamashiro Aoba didn't say anything. Maybe he thought that he would not give Kong Ming this opportunity to cause trouble.

The two of them were talking and walking on the road. If nothing unexpected happened, they would meet the Konoha ninjas who came to rescue them soon.

However, the accident still happened.

Just when they were walking on the road for about ten minutes, a small white snake suddenly jumped out of the grass beside the road.

While this little snake was still in the air, it began to expand rapidly and turned into a person in the blink of an eye.

"Orochimaru?"

Yes, the person coming was none other than Orochimaru.

"The Ultimate Eye is nothing more than that. It was so easily deceived by my blindness."

"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Orochimaru again, Kong Ming, who was carrying Yamashiro Aoba on his back, did not seem very nervous, but instead asked him the purpose of his reappearance in a righteous manner.

"You are such a good experiment, how could I give up so easily?"

"Sure enough, no matter where I am, my excellence is so outstanding, so different, like a firefly in the dark, so bright..."

(???)X2

With a chuckle, Orochimaru was too lazy to talk nonsense to Kong Ming. He stretched out his hands to catch him, then brought him back to the experimental base and trained him a hundred times.
