[Hokage] One tit for another

The days at the Orochimaru base were unexpectedly interesting.

Orochimaru gave me unimpeded power in the base, I can go anywhere I want, including outside the base.I can choose my favorite training ground, live in the room I think is the most comfortable, read all the books and research data of Orochimaru at will, and even decide what to eat at noon in the whole base.

Many people have expressed dissatisfaction. Maybe they don’t like eating tomatoes and barbecue, but Orochimaru eats everything. Even Orochimaru has no objection. What are they jumping around?Say I'm disrespectful to Orochimaru?Say I abuse Orochimaru?

Isn't roast meat and tomatoes nutritious enough? !

So I violently suppressed all those who opposed it.

In fact, I didn't do anything special, I just beat up people who stopped on the road every day. If the meal that appeared at noon was not what I wanted, I would stop by the kitchen and threaten the chef.

Two days later, I found that there was a change in the kitchen. The new chef was very understanding, and the food was three and a half times better than before.

It’s very free in the base, I can do whatever I want, I don’t have to do boring tasks, I don’t have to pull weeds, pick up trash to find pets, and I don’t have to hide from the dark side.

I fight when I want to fight, and I can find a lot of people who are resistant to fighting. If I want to study ninjutsu, I study ninjutsu. Orochimaru has an amazing collection of books. I can change chakra at will without being interrupted by a white hair , I can also practice lying on the bed without fear of breaking the bedside lamp.

When Dou automatically and consciously replaced the damaged things in the room for me again, I decided to hate him less.

Orochimaru will take the time to teach me ninjutsu. His understanding of ninjutsu is very interesting. There is only one thing that is not good-his aesthetics are problematic.

I don't know why he has such an obsession with snakes.

For example, releasing snakes from the sleeves and mouth, I firmly refuse to let those strange little animals come out of my mouth, but I can accept the sleeves.

I have to admit that many of Orochimaru's ninjutsu are quite practical.

【Array of Ten Thousand Snakes】

In the training ground, I quickly formed seals and pressed my hands on the ground. The ground was cracked inch by inch, and densely packed long snakes emerged from the soil, churning continuously, converging into a sea of ​​snakes.The number of these snakes was terrifying, hissing and surrounding Orochimaru from all directions, swallowing him up in an instant.

Orochimaru tried to break free, I controlled the snakes to wrap around him, more and more snakes flew up and wrapped around his hands and feet.The snakes broke the ground beneath his feet, making him lose his balance and have nowhere to focus.

Orochimaru fell down and was submerged in the sea of ​​ten thousand snakes.

I could feel that Orochimaru had killed quite a few snakes, but there were too many of them, and those dead little snakes were nothing compared to the huge herd of snakes.

Suddenly, Orochimaru disappeared surrounded by snakes.

No, to be more precise, Orochimaru's heavily entangled body suddenly suffocated like a leak. The snake group lost its target and scattered loosely, but he himself was extremely flexible and fast from the group of snakes. Passing through the gaps of the human body, drilling into the ground, as if losing the limitations of human form.

Orochimaru was very fast, and came to me in an instant. The moment he jumped out of the ground, he suddenly recovered his human form from his slender state, and the grass pheasant sword flashed a sharp edge in the sun.

I took a step back, and the snakes surged like waves, forming an extremely tough barrier, blocking the attack of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't move anymore, and the group of snakes retreated without warning as if they had come, and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a piece of completely destroyed land.

"What's that?" I looked at the place where Orochimaru disappeared, and there was only a thin shell-like thing left. Because it was separated from the body, that layer of skin gradually collapsed and melted into an unknown puddle. liquid.

And Orochimaru not only got away with this, but all the traces of snake bites on his body disappeared.It looks a bit gross...but it works!

But Orochimaru did not answer my question first, but commented on the ninjutsu I used: "Sasuke, you could have activated this technique a little faster."

Yeah, it could be faster, but that would mean I need to spit thousands of snakes out of my mouth.

I curled my lips, noncommittal: "How does it feel to spit out so many snakes from your mouth?"

Orochimaru smiled lowly, ignored my choking voice, and just said objectively: "That would be more conducive to the impact on the enemy's front."

Although what Orochimaru said is indeed true, when the two sides are fighting, suddenly spitting out something from the mouth can not only save your hands, but also hit the opponent's face directly, but I still have no intention of changing my mind.

"Sasuke, you are very talented in changing the art. The snakes appearing from the ground is more conducive to enveloping the opponent, leaving no room for escape, and you have finely controlled every movement of the snakes, which is rare. A ninja can do it." Orochimaru smiled and said, "Whether it is offense or defense, you have done it very well."

"This is no longer my 'Men Snake Formation', Sasuke, you have invented a new ninjutsu, you can give it a name."

Orochimaru looked at me encouragingly. He is actually a very good teacher. He is very patient when teaching ninjutsu. His evaluation is very objective, his insight is sharp, and he is never greedy for merit. , he accepted it very well, and asked me to name the new ninjutsu I invented.

And unlike Kakashi's caution and dissuasion, Orochimaru appreciates any attempt I make in ninjutsu.

Unfortunately I was never a good student.Giving a ninjutsu a name is really stupid and secondary. I have already passed the age of shouting "Avada Kedavra" with a twig.

"Sasuke's ninjutsu." I said calmly.

Orochimaru was a little helpless: "Sasuke, that's the name of the technique yesterday."

Why is this guy so obsessed with naming things?

I took a look at Orochimaru, so I had to choose a new name: "Sasuke's Ninjutsu 2."

"Pfft..." Tou on the side couldn't help laughing, and then silently covered his mouth under the constant gaze of Dashemaru and me.

"I'm sorry, Oshemaru-sama, Sasuke-kun." Dou said awkwardly.

He's laughing at my name? !Yes, that's right, he also looked down on "Sasuke's knife" very much.

How dare you desecrate my sword!I frowned slightly, but Orochimaru let Dou go away just in time before I could draw my knife at Dou.

"Du, you go to the No. [-] laboratory first." Orochimaru ordered.

"Yes, Oshemaru-sama." Tudou pushed his glasses, bowed respectfully, turned and left.

I didn't expect Orochimaru to protect this guy.I silently let go of my hand from the hilt.

But this guy is very strange, it seems that he is just wandering in the world with a false shell, but there is nothing inside.

I met a lot of people in Orochimaru's base. Orochimaru seems to be keen on collecting magical creatures from all over the world. He has everything in his inventory. Those people either have special skills, special physique, or personality and Growing up is fun.In my opinion, each of them is much better than Dou, and with Orochimaru's ability, it can become a right-hand man with a little training.

But Orochimaru chose to let Dou be his valued assistant, and he didn't intend to replace him at all.

"Dou's ability is very good." Orochimaru explained as if he had sensed the faint waves and undercurrents between me and Dou.

The word "spy" is almost written all over Dou's body. He was trained as a spy. I don't believe Orochimaru doesn't know about it. Even Dou is a spy who has no position. He will betray at any moment.

However, since Orochimaru likes it, it doesn't matter.

Judging by the look of the pocket, he seems to like Orochimaru quite a bit.

Looking at the place where Dou left, Orochimaru suddenly added: "He is very useful."

There seemed to be many meanings in this sentence, and it seemed to be very simple. I looked up, but saw Orochimaru smiled slightly, showing me the most common covetous look: "Of course, Sasuke is the one I have seen The best."

I twitched the corners of my mouth, ignoring Oshemaru's provocative words from time to time, and began to think carefully about the unique substitute technique that Orochimaru used just now.

Orochimaru's ninjutsu is a school of its own. Unlike other ninjas who only guide Chakra through seals, Orochimaru uses Chakra in various places to achieve magical effects.His ability to change the body at will is not a forbidden technique, but comes from the unique use of chakra inside the body.

Orochimaru is a genius. His genius lies not only in his natural talent, but also in his unconstrained thinking. He dares to do and think about anything.

This is the first time I have met such a person.

I concentrated my mind and changed the chakra in the way of the Orochimaru genre. It was a wonderful feeling, as if the body was just a shell, and then I struggled lightly, like a snake peeling off its skin. The sticky liquid acted as a buffering adhesive. I looked back at the "skin" I took off, and the mass of things withered and melted quickly.

My body is a little weak after the outer shell has been removed, but it is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some of the small abrasions I suffered before have all disappeared.

The spell worked, and I was still immersed in that unique way, calculating other feasible changes in my mind.But this time, Orochimaru did not applaud once I succeeded as before, and poured out a bunch of hypocritical praise.

I looked at Orochimaru, and found that he was crossing his arms, looking at me deeply, the sun was shining down his pale side face, leaving a sharp shadow, and there was a faint purple in the corner of his eyes, which seemed His eyes became more and more sinister, his gaze was extremely hot, but with incredible penetrating power.

"It's amazing." After a long time, Orochimaru said softly, as if trying to suppress something in his voice, he took a sudden step forward and grabbed my shoulder.

Orochimaru stared at me, his long hair hanging down from the side of his face, as if blocking the sunlight to form a small dark space.His breathing was a little short, and he was very excited: "Sasuke, how did you do it?"

How to do what?

No matter what kind of ninjutsu Orochimaru demonstrated to me, I can learn it immediately after watching it, and then modify it slightly.But those ninjutsu all have standard seals, as long as the seals are correct and Chakra can be used reasonably, they can be used.

As for the substitute technique just now, Orochimaru was used surrounded by snakes. I shouldn't have been able to see what he did. What's more, the substitute method is not something that can be achieved simply by making seals.

Orochimaru didn't listen to my answer at all, and immediately said the answer by himself: "You can see Chakra!"

Orochimaru looked at me in amazement, stroked my eyes with his fingers, and muttered to himself as if immersed in his own world: "Even if it is Sharingan, it is impossible to do this... You don't need Sharingan you can see."

"Perceptual ninja..." Orochimaru said suddenly, covering his face and laughing loudly, "It turned out to be a perceptual ninja! Sasuke, you amaze me. I've never..."

Orochimaru laughed so hard, he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, even ignoring that we were still training, he grabbed my hand and dragged me back to the base.

Orochimaru dragged me along the dark corridor, striding forward, the gouyu earrings and long hair swaying in the wind.

"Sasuke, how many people are in the West Prison?" Orochimaru asked.

On the west side of the corridor is a huge cage with no light, only a small area behind the iron railing can be vaguely seen, and hysterical roars can be heard from the boundless darkness.

Orochimaru is going crazy again.

I didn't understand what he was excited about. After a moment of silence, I still answered truthfully: "72."

Orochimaru clenched my wrist tightly, he didn't look back, I couldn't see his expression, but I could hear his low and satisfied voice: "Very good."

"Very good." Orochimaru repeated himself.

I looked down at the hand held by Orochimaru, but I was really curious about what Orochimaru was going to do, so I had to endure the urge to cut off his hand for the time being.
