Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

"Well... just write some words of encouragement!"

Nohara Lin thought for a while, her face turned red and she didn't know what to ask Orochimaru to write in the notebook.

Orochimaru held the pen and hesitated for two seconds, then scribbled a sentence on the notebook, bent down and handed the notebook back to the little girl.

Hinata Kumokawa also took a look.

"The teacher once said that you don't have to force yourself to choose a path you don't like in life. It doesn't matter whether you live or die as you like. However, no matter which path you choose, don't forget to protect the people you cherish.

--Orochimaru. "

Writing is pretty fast.

One thing to say is that Orochimaru's calligraphy must have been practiced, and the fonts are beautiful. Compared with Hinata Kumikawa's calligraphy, it cannot be said to be evenly matched, it can only be said to be worlds apart.

"Thank you Orochimaru-sama!"

Nohara Lin was so excited in her arms that she quickly bowed and thanked her.

Orochimaru smiled and ruffled the girl's hair. At this moment, Orochimaru was like a little sun possessed.

Nohara Rin's face was slightly red, and she was about to become Orochimaru's little fan girl, but suddenly she remembered her purpose of calling Hinata Kumikawa.

"By the way, Kumokawa-kun, is Kakashi... okay?"

"It shouldn't be too good."

Hinata Kumokawa told the truth.

"Really... I haven't seen him for many days, so I'm a little worried."

"He'll pull through."

"Then you...are not with him now?"

Nohara Lin looked at Orochimaru and probably had some guesses in her mind.

Hinata Kumokawa nodded.

"What a pity. I prepared an amulet for him. I originally wanted to ask you to help deliver it..."

Lin looked regretful, clutching the notebook in her arms tightly, bowing her head in silence for a moment, then taking out an amulet made of yellow special paper with a red string from the bag on her waist, and handed it to Hinata Kumokawa.

"Here, I did it for you."

Hinata Kumokawa took it with both hands, "Thank you."

Lin forced a smile.

"Then...goodbye, Orochimaru-sama, and good-bye, Kumokawa-kun!"

"Goodbye"

"Ha~ Goodbye."

Watching the girl leave, Orochimaru put down his hand, his smile gradually faded, and his state instantly switched to iceberg beauty mode, "What a nostalgic friendship. At our age, we can no longer encounter such pure feelings~"

Hinata Kumokawa didn't answer.

It was obvious that Orochimaru was thinking of a certain stupid teammate and another unruly young lady. Rather than saying this to Hinata Kumikawa, it was better to say that Orochimaru was sighing for himself...

While he was signing his name, master Zaoda Yaya had already found two imitations of the Kusanagi sword, carried two long wooden boxes back to the shop, put them on the table and opened them.

They are two different swords...

It should be said that it is a sword and a sword.

The knife is a straight knife, about 1.3 meters long. The three-inch tip of the knife is double-edged. The rest of the knife is single-sided. The shape of the knife tip is a standard blade. Regardless of the edged part, this is a standard long knife. The sword, hilt and scabbard are all made of leather and wood, with a simple oval flat blade without patterns.

The other is a double-edged sword, the same length as the former, but much more ornate. The hilt and guard are inlaid with gems, and there is a silver-carved snake head at the end.

Orochimaru touched the blade lightly, tapping it lightly with his fingernail.

"Both of these are the works of masters?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he didn't see Kusanagi Sword's true appearance until the end, so he could only rely on rumors to make assumptions."

"Even the original Kusanagi sword is nothing more than this~"

"Hahaha... You praise him too much, Orochimaru."

"Senior, I wonder if I can collect one of them."

"If it's Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, it's not impossible... However, the purpose of the ninja tool when it was first cast was never to collect it, but to follow the master to conquer the world..."

Orochimaru picked up the single-edged sword, and chakra condensed on the blade through the handle, making a soft roar.

"Of course I won't let him be embarrassed, senior."

"Oh, okay, it's not a shame for him to be able to follow Orochimaru-sama, one of the three ninjas... But even you have to pay, and the lowest discount is 500 million taels~"

The old lady blinked, playfully breaking the serious and solemn atmosphere.

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth also turned up slightly.

"of course."

……

Hinata Kumikawa watched the whole process.

Hinata Kumikawa still remembers such a famous thing as the Kusanagi Sword.

Two are shown in the anime.

One is Orochimaru's double-edged sword, and the other is Sasuke's straight-edged Kusanagi sword.

The Kusanagi sword chosen by Orochimaru in front of him does not match either of them, and it is not authentic. If you have to guess... I guess the real Kusanagi sword is already in Orochimaru's hands.

Then why would he buy a fake?

Moreover, it is so expensive...

But after Orochimaru paid a wad of money, he put the sword in the scabbard and handed it to Hinata Kumokawa.

"But one thing you guessed wrong is that I am no longer a front-line ninja, so this sword... is actually a gift to Yunchuan."

Hinata Kumokawa: "????"

What do you mean, buy something from the master and give it to the apprentice.

To put it bluntly, even if Orochimaru doesn't buy it, these two Kusanagi sword imitations will still fall into the hands of Hinata Kumikawa in a few decades. I always feel that Orochimaru's move is a bit unnecessary~

However, Zaotian Ye was just stunned for a moment before he understood what Orochimaru meant, pursed his lips, smiled, and nodded slightly.

……

In fact, Orochimaru was giving a gift to Zaoda Ye, because in the unwritten rules of ninjas, two masters teaching one apprentice are not allowed. The nature is probably similar to Lu Bu worshiping two adoptive fathers at the same time.

Orochimaru sends money to Zaotianya.

One is to show that he will teach his knowledge of ninjutsu to him like a disciple, but he will not explicitly claim that Hinata Kumikawa is his disciple. The other is that Hinata Kumikawa will occupy most of his time in the future. Make amends around you.

Of course, Hinata Kumikawa didn’t know there was such an unspoken rule until a long time later...

……

……

For more than two months after that, Hinata Kumokawa basically stayed in the laboratory.

At first, I went out to eat, but gradually I became a loyal fan of Bingliangwan.

With unremitting efforts, I can barely get started with the art of Palm Immortality.

As for the chakra scalpel.

Because it is somewhat similar to Hinata Kumikawa's usual training method, but requires more sophisticated chakra control capabilities, I can get started quickly, and then I can only give time to polish my skills.

It is worth mentioning that the experimental boy was still alive that day.

Because the principle of Palm Immortal Technique is to use your own chakra to stimulate the cells around the wound on the injured body, causing it to accelerate division and thus accelerate wound healing, it requires extremely precise control and input of chakra into the injured body...

The result is that, with the introduction of Palm Immortal Technique, the method of helping people to clear their veins has improved a lot.

Relying on Hinata Kumikawa's semi-skilled palm sensibility treatment and increasingly sophisticated "acupoint massage", although the boy's physical condition is getting worse day by day, he is still hanging on to his life...
