Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

The rope tree jumped into the pit and helped Hizashi up, who was about to lose strength.

The battle between Mikoto and the shadow clone next to her also came to an end. Mikoto watched the Phoenix Fire Jutsu released with her last chakra, but it was easily blocked by the rope tree's water formation wall, and she helplessly raised her hands to admit defeat.

For Mikoto, this battle was really frustrating. The powerful illusion talent coupled with the two magatama's Sharingan are useless in front of the shadow clone.

Fire style and shuriken were completely restrained by water style, which was good at defense. The battle between the two was like a ninjutsu showdown. Until the chakra in the body was exhausted, Mikoto was unable to counter the shadow clone. cause any actual harm.

Of course, Naoki's shadow clone also deliberately kept his hands away. Well, except for Mikoto's body being soaked with water and all her clothes sticking to her body, it didn't hurt Mikoto.

When Naoki saw Mikoto raising her hands and admitting defeat, she also dismissed the shadow clone. The memory that came to her made Naoki smack her tongue.

"Hiss! There is something special about this shadow clone! Except for the water escape that can make clothes wet, it has never been used by any other means! Is this considered revealing its true nature?"

Orochimaru saw that the battle was over, and his figure reappeared on the field, calling the three of them over.

"very nice!"

"Although each has some shortcomings, at your age, it is rare to have such strength!"

"Then let me tell you some of the problems I see based on your performance!"

"First, Hizashi!"

Orochimaru looked at Hizashi and gave him an affirmative look.

"There should be no one in the Hyuga clan who is more talented than you!"

Hizashi lowered his head slightly and clenched his hands unconsciously.

"Your reaction ability is outstanding, and your grasp of fighter planes has exceeded the average chuunin level. Even the rope tree is not as good as you in this regard."

As Orochimaru spoke, he glanced at Naoki with a dissatisfied look. Naoki scratched his head in embarrassment. His family knew his own affairs, and his combat experience was indeed very weak.

"But your shortcomings are just as obvious."

"You have more than enough offense, but not enough defense. You have no defensive means except to consume all your chakra in one use."

"Secondly, your pace and speed are not agile enough."

"For example, just now, if the wooden clone of Rope Tree hadn't been careless and you hit the acupuncture point on the leg, would your next soft fist still hit it?"

"You might even be like Mikoto, unable to break even a single clone of the rope tree."

Hizashi opened his mouth and found that this was indeed the case, and suddenly seemed a little depressed.

"The next step for you is to train your speed and footwork. Physical skills are not just about using your hands."

Hizashi understood how valuable the advice from an elite jounin was and nodded humbly.

"Yes! Orochimaru-sensei!"

Orochimaru nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Mikoto.

"Next, let's talk about Mikoto."

When Mikoto heard Orochimaru talking about her achievements, her face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment. When he heard Orochimaru calling him, he stood up straight and listened carefully to Orochimaru's instructions.

"Very good! Double Magatama Sharingan. You are only fourteen years old, right?"

Mikoto nodded.

"In the records of the Uchiha clan, this talent should be rare!"

"Your Shuriken and Fire Release have a very solid foundation, and your chakra control is pretty good."

"This is rare."

"But your attack strength is a little weak, and you lack a means to gain a decisive advantage in the battle, which will slow down your battle rhythm. Moreover, your chakra capacity is not outstanding. In a long battle, only It will slowly erase your advantage."

"The direction of your next practice should be to develop the power of Sharingan and at the same time strengthen the training of your own chakra. As for the means of attack, I will find a way to help you solve it."

Mikoto bowed gratefully to Orochimaru.

"Yes! Teacher Orochimaru."

Orochimaru waved his hand and looked at the rope tree again.

"Rose Tree, through this battle with your peers, have you seen your shortcomings?"

Naoki put away the expression on his face and looked at Orochimaru seriously.

"Yes, teacher!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

Orochimaru smiled and looked at the rope tree with interest.

"My biggest shortcoming now is probably my experience in shuriken throwing and close combat, and my speed is also a bit slow."

"Well, I'm also not very good at illusions."

The more Naoki talked, the more he felt that he had many shortcomings. Apart from the amount of chakra and water escape, as well as the wood escape ninjutsu that could not be revealed at will, he was almost useless.

I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

When Orochimaru saw the appearance of the tree, the smile on his face became a little deeper.

"Okay! Finally you still have some brains and haven't lost your mind due to strength."

"The only thing you can use now is the amount of chakra which is pretty good. Apart from this, other aspects are simply clumsy and laughable."

"Although your water release ninjutsu is powerful, your control ability is terrible."

"The Second Hokage can use an offensive water wave to produce the effect of a water formation wall."

"What about you? Ninjutsu is not a static and dead thing. It can be finely controlled and innovated."

Orochimaru seemed to be addicted, and the more he spoke, the more severe he became.

"Also, you are somewhat self-aware. You know that you are not good at illusions, so you used your shadow clone to fight Mikoto."

"Are you not good at illusions? You are simply clueless!"

"If you were to fight Mikoto with your true form, I'm sure you wouldn't even have the courage to look Mikoto in the eye."

"snort!"

Naoki scratched his head in embarrassment, glanced at the teacher who was about to get angry, and quibbled in a low voice: "Then I can stand far away and keep casting ninjutsu! Why do you still have to look into her eyes when you know you can't deal with genjutsu? ?”

Orochimaru was not angry, but nodded in approval.

"That's good to say."

"Although you have many shortcomings, your advantages are also great."

"The huge amount of chakra is enough to sustain you through a very intense battle. If you can't get close, use ninjutsu to suppress the opponent from a distance."

"Combat experience cannot be gained in a short period of time. Using force to overwhelm others is the path you have to take now."

Naoki nodded in agreement, receiving a stern look from Orochimaru.

"But don't relax your practice in other aspects. You must know that although the first generation is not good at illusions, have you ever heard of anyone whose illusions can affect him?"

"It's normal to have shortcomings. There is no perfect ninja. But if you want to stand at the top like the first generation of adults, you must use more powerful power to offset all your shortcomings. Otherwise, you will never be able to Get that far!”

Orochimaru looked deeply at Naoki, wanting to imprint these words into Naoki's heart.

Naoki bowed solemnly to Orochimaru.

"Yes! Teacher! I understand! I will definitely not slack off!"

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction and took out a scroll from his arms.

"Your strength has been recognized by me. From today on, you are my disciples, Orochimaru."

"To congratulate you on becoming my disciple, I have a gift for you."

"Mikoto, this is also the way I said to solve your attack power!"

Orochimaru unfolded the scroll, and a psychic contract scroll with the three characters Ryuji Cave written on it was unfolded in front of the three people. There were several names written on the blank scroll, and the bottom one was Orochimaru's name.

"This is the psychic scroll from Longdi Cave. It was originally intended to be passed on to Shengshu. But now that the three of you are my disciples, you are all qualified to sign your name on it."

"Then you can use psychic techniques to channel the giant snakes living in Longdi Cave to fight. This will greatly improve your strength."

Mikoto looked a little excited and looked at the psychic scroll with excitement. Hizashi didn't react much, he just took a curious look and shook his head.

"Teacher, I don't like snakes too much. Besides, my soft boxing skills are still far behind. I still want to practice physical skills first. If there are suitable psychic beasts in the future, can I ask the teacher for help?"

Hearing Hizashi's refusal, Orochimaru was not angry, he just smiled and nodded at him.

"Okay! In the future, the teacher will help you keep an eye on psychic beasts that are suitable for you."

"Thank you, teacher."

Hizashi bowed in thanks and stepped aside.

Mikoto, on the other hand, doesn't have so many scruples. The psychic beast that can improve her strength is a huge help to her idea of ​​going to the Land of Rain to avenge her mother.

Looking at Orochimaru with excitement in his eyes.

"Teacher, I want to sign this contract."

Orochimaru nodded, pushed the scroll towards Mikoto, and then handed her a writing brush.

"Write your name in the blank space, and then press your fingerprint on the name with a blood contract."

Mikoto took the pen, quickly wrote her name, then simply cut her palm with a kunai, slapped it on the scroll, completed the signing of the psychic contract, and then stepped aside happily.

Shengshu was not in a hurry to sign his name, but looked thoughtfully at the gray name at the top of the scroll.

"Taizo?"

"This person seems to have an impression! Where have I seen him?"

Orochimaru looked at the stunned Naoki with a puzzled look.

"Rose Tree, it's your turn! Why are you dawdling?"

Shengshu woke up and gave up the familiar feeling that he could not remember in his mind. He took the brush handed by the teacher and signed his name on the scroll and put his fingerprints on it.

Orochimaru saw that both of them had completed the contract and bent down to put away the scroll.

"Okay, now that the contract has been signed, I will teach you the seal of necromancy."

"Watch it!"

"There are five seals in the art of channeling spirits, Hai-xu-you-shen-wei, the art of channeling spirits!"

With a "bang" sound, a huge burst of smoke rose from the ground, and Wanshe's huge head appeared in the training ground with Orochimaru on his head. "

"Hey! Orochimaru, why did you call me out again? I don't have time to play ninja games with your disciples!"

As soon as the snake appeared, it sprayed Orochimaru with a harsh noise.

The rope tree saw the old snake and waved hello to it.

"Hey! Wan She, I see you again, hello!"

Wan She's body froze, and she turned her head to stare at the rope tree with angry snake eyes, which were about to spit out fire.

"It's your kid! I haven't settled the debt with you last time yet! This time I must let you know how powerful I am, Wan She!"

Orochimaru stamped his foot hard on Wan She's head. The huge chakra contained in his feet caused Wan She's mouth to close violently, almost biting his own Nobuko.

"Wan She, I summoned you this time just to demonstrate to my disciples how to use necromancy. If you don't want to be beaten back to Longdi Cave again, just stay calm."

Wan Snake received a heavy blow and closed his mouth tightly. His cold snake eyes stared at the rope tree, but he did not actually launch an attack.

"Mikoto, the chakra in your body has been consumed too much. Please wait until the chakra is restored before using the psychic technique."

"Rope Tree, you go first! See how big a snake you can channel."

"Remember, the size of the snake you channel is directly proportional to the amount of chakra you use."

Shengshu nodded, and with the blood that flowed from his palm when he signed the contract, he quickly formed a seal of psychic skills, and pressed his palm on the ground.

A huge crimson figure appeared in the field from the psychic circle, and Naoki's sight suddenly rose up, directly surpassing Orochimaru who was standing above Wanshe.

Wan She, who was waiting to see the rope tree's joke, his pupils suddenly dilated, staring at the red figure at the foot of the rope tree, and uttered a sentence in disbelief.

"Xin Ya? How could you possibly respond to a human's call?"

The giant crimson snake opened a cold vertical pupil and glanced at Wan She with disdain.

"I sensed Asura's aura, who is it?"
