Naruto: Sasuke loves to visit forums

Otogakure Ninja Village, Orochimaru Base.

The crypt was empty except for darkness.

It's hard to tell whether it's day or night.

After confirming the time for the immortal reincarnation, he said goodbye to Kabuto Yakushi, and Hinata Neji returned to his room.

He had been sitting quietly on the edge of his bed, waiting for the final answer to come.

He had done everything he could, and all he could do next was wait.

Time passed slowly but surely with every breath.

During the long wait without anyone noticing, Hinata Neji silently stared at his bandaged palm.

He suddenly thought that he was confined to such a tiny body, but the world outside himself was so huge.

The crowd is huge and life is like a prisoner.

My own strength is really too weak.

And there are too few things that I can control.

Hyuga Neji cannot control how Orochimaru views himself;

Neji at this moment also had no way of knowing whether Uchiha Sasuke would arrive as promised;

As for the more distant future, such as the fate of the caged bird, it is even more like the torch in the crypt.

Dim and flickering, erratic.

Sometimes the torch was as weak as a bean, and sometimes it trembled and burned again.

The air of fate envelops the flames, and the shadows on the wall grow and shrink, just like the young man's weak belief in the bright future.

"Bang bang—"

A knock on the door came from outside the house, and an Otogakure ninja reported respectfully outside the door:

"Lord Neji, Lord Orochimaru please come to see me immediately, saying that there is something important."

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

After a period of exploration and familiarity with the rather complicated tunnel route in the cave, Hyuga Neji has roughly mastered it.

He was seen twisting and turning, and soon he came to the door of Orochimaru's hall again.

Looking from a distance, he saw Kidomaru standing alone there.

At this time, I was looking towards the end of the tunnel, not knowing what to see.

"You came!"

After seeing Hyuga Neji, Kidomaru immediately showed a happy expression and said:

"I have fulfilled our agreement. Right now, Uchiha Sasuke is talking to Lord Orochimaru inside.

"Shouldn't it be time to fulfill what you promised me?"

Hearing that Uchiha Sasuke was inside now, Hyuga Neji suddenly felt like his ears were exploding.

He didn't listen to a word of Kidomaru's subsequent words.

After rebelling against the village, Neji was under high pressure all the time.

After seeing Orochimaru, he had to be careful in everything, be careful at all times, and keep his brain running fast at all times.

He had to stick to the bottom line without irritating Orochimaru, and he didn't want to be too flattering, lest people look down on him and Sasuke.

All this is really not that easy for me.

Although the time away from Konoha was not long, judging from Neji's feelings.

In just a few days, it felt like half a lifetime had passed.

In his ears, Kidomaru was still whispering something. Neji was completely in no mood to pay attention to him at the moment, so he took a step to open the door and walk inside.

"Hey? Hey hey?! What are you doing?!

"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Kidomaru quickly grabbed him and asked with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"No, Brother Kidomaru, I you.

"Master Orochimaru, call me if you need anything. I'll go in first and play with you later."

Hinata Neji was excited and his words were incoherent.

Making random gestures with his hands, he still wanted to rush through the door.

"no!"

Faced with Hyuga Neji's refusal, Kidomaru flatly refused and said:

"You refused last time, and now everyone is here, and you still refuse!

"If we agreed that I would take you to the base, we have fulfilled the agreement. If we delay any longer, I don't know how long it will be.

"Right now, right away, right away! Still using the 'soft fist' that your Hyuga clan has been boasting about all day long, I must show you the power of gold-laced armor!"

As he spoke, Kidomaru formed a dark golden protective film on the surface of his skin and said proudly:

"I said, this ninjutsu can completely block chakra. Even if you can really attack acupoints and internal organs, you will never be able to do anything to me!"

"Boom, bang."

Hyuga Neji suddenly struck out with two palms, but Kidomaru remained motionless.

"It's really amazing!"

Hinata Neji clapped and walked directly into the hall.

The whole process took less than two seconds, leaving Kidomaru standing there in a daze.

"Right? I just said it's awesome."

Kidomaru said something to show off, and Hinata Neji had already left at this moment, leaving only a ball of air in front of him.

"Crack-"

The golden armor fell to pieces on the ground, and Kidomaru felt that his mood was not as happy as he imagined.

It seems that something is wrong.

Looking at Hinata Neji's back, Kidomaru was confused——

Could it be that I was perfunctory by him just now?

Hearing the sound behind the door, Uchiha Sasuke turned around and met the bright eyes of the boy in white.

We said goodbye by the Konoha River, but today we meet again, separated by mountains and rivers.

Long journeys, life and death battles.

Intelligence was flying around, and there were overt and covert fights.

Finally, after all this, the two met again as scheduled.

The plan to undercover Orochimaru has finally successfully completed its first phase.

At this time, both of them had extremely turbulent emotions in their hearts.

Uchiha Sasuke had a little better control and was the first to ask:

"how long?"

What he wanted to ask was the last piece of information that could not be determined clearly - that is, the exact time since Orochimaru's last reincarnation.

Since the message was delivered by Orochimaru's subordinate Shirobo, we had to consider the possibility that they had tampered with the information midway.

However, in his excitement, Sasuke only asked two words, but it was difficult to form a sentence.

"Half a year, cough, half a year ago."

Hinata Neji understood and immediately answered.

His voice was hoarse and dry, and he couldn't help but clear his throat.

"No more unnecessary words. Now, let's talk about - as you said - a deal."

On the steps, Orochimaru, who was sitting high on the chair, broke the moment with words.

Bring Sasuke and Sasuke back to reality.

"Yes, tell me your conditions."

Uchiha Sasuke turned around and looked at Orochimaru again, regaining his rational and calm appearance.

"Two and a half years."

Orochimaru said:

“During this period, I will use all my knowledge to help you gain enough strength.
