[Hokage] One tit for another

The northern stronghold stands on an isolated island, isolated from the rest of the world.

I used illusion to control all the guards, and I successfully persuaded Chongwu to occupy the mountain and be king here... Huh?There seems to be something wrong with this statement.

It's only natural that I want to study the seal.If I hadn't been bitten by Orochimaru and left this curse mark, I would not have chosen to follow Orochimaru from the beginning.

I quite reject this kind of power, just like I also reject all the medicines that Orochiwan injected into my body that are said to enhance physical fitness.Orochimaru is also very aware of this, but obviously, leaving me a curse mark is one of the most proud things he has done in his life.With this damn seal, all my actions are controlled by him, so he can let me go without any scruples, and let me do whatever I want, because the seal has firmly connected me and him together.

Orochimaru has a lot of information, but he has always only thought about how to carry forward the power of the curse seal, but I have the opposite purpose.

So, I found the source of the curse seal and started researching again.

There are a large number of experimental subjects in the northern stronghold, and Chongwu himself is very cooperative, and the research is progressing smoothly, but there are very few researchers in the northern stronghold, and most of the time I am alone. I am enough to do research alone. , but a large amount of experimental data and materials have not been sorted out, and Suigetsu and Shigego are not good at this aspect.

I don't want to waste time stopping and taking notes, but I don't have a good memory...

This is a sad story.

What's even more sad is that Dou secretly sent me a message that a red-haired girl came to the northern stronghold that afternoon.

Xianglin, the orphan of the Uzumaki clan, might be Naruto's cousin.It has a very powerful healing ability and outstanding perception ability. At the same time, it has inherited the unique sealing technique of the Uzumaki family. It is one of Orochimaru's favorite collections.

I have not only read her profile, carefully studied her various abilities, but also met her in person.Xianglin is a capable girl who is cautious and reliable in her work. She has been helping Orochimaru manage the southern stronghold.

Although I always thought that girl was a bit weird.

The way she looks at me has an indescribably weird feeling... If I have to describe it, it's special Orochimaru?Should it be said that he is an important subordinate of Orochimaru?

Xianglin is indeed a good experimental assistant, but this does not weaken my urge to beat him up.

Dou even falsely passed on the order of Orochimaru, and transferred Xianglin to the northern stronghold to assist me? !Did he betray Orochimaru and surrender to me? ...Fuck, if he really wants to help me, I'll eat it... I won't eat tomatoes for three months.

Dou is obviously trying to make things difficult for me, but I really need Xianglin, and his actions are indeed "helping" me.It's just that his actions have increased the possibility that Orochimaru will find out about my small tricks earlier.After all, I occupy a stronghold far away in the sky, as long as I control the communication, I can not be found for the time being, and Dou follows Dashemaru, mobilizing the person in charge of one of the strongholds to make such a big move, Dashewan is not a fool, and sooner or later he will notice something is wrong .

... That villain in the pocket is urging me to do it earlier in disguise.I don't know what he thinks, maybe he feels that he has become my side, let me quickly show the strength worthy of his allegiance, or maybe he hopes that I and Dashemaru will lose both, so that he can stand up and become the master?

I really don't know how to deal with this kind of person.Always disgusting you unknowingly, if you care about him, you will look cheap, if you don't care about him, you will feel aggrieved.

Which organization trained the spies in the first place? ...to cultivate such a virtue that deserves to be beaten?Wouldn't he be beaten to death before he went undercover?

But no matter what, with the fragrant phosphorus, my research continued.

It's just... the final result is just as I feared. Although the curse seal originated from Chonggo, it also injected a lot of things belonging to Orochimaru. Chonggo only provided the form of curse seal, but Orochimaru made this power unparalleled. vitality.The curse seal lives in the human body like a parasite, and provides some kind of power to the vaccinator when necessary, but usually it has been silently gnawing on the vaccinator's body, delivering nutrients to the female worm, and Orochimaru—that is the one "Mother Worm".

The curse seal has invaded every aspect of Ah's body, and there is only one way to completely remove the curse seal.Exhaust my own chakra, induce Orochimaru to enter my body, let Orochimaru fully activate the power of the curse seal in my body, and then use Orochimaru itself as a primer to uproot it in one go.

Although I have successfully developed an inhibitor of the curse mark and promoted it to the entire stronghold.Everywhere in the stronghold is beaming, and Chongwu has changed from his previous depression and autism. He is smiling all day long, and his own natural breath spreads out, driving everyone around him to relax involuntarily.

But I still have a bad face.

Because it means I have to go back and find Orochimaru and kill him.Moreover, the process of killing him was very complicated. He had to spend his own chakra desperately, pretending to be weak, and making him think he was taking advantage of it, but he was actually falling into a trap.

Kill Orochimaru...

Now that there is a conclusion, there is no need for experiments.

I silently packed up the materials, then threw all the thick stack of manuscripts into the fire and burned them. The tongue of fire licked the paper, and all the materials were silently reduced to ashes in the sudden flames.

It was very quiet in the laboratory, just me, the fire on the clean ground, and the fragrant phosphorus.

The fire was burning snortingly, and there were more and more ashes on the ground.

Xianglin stood aside, hesitating to speak.I pretended not to see her hesitation, but just when I thought she would say nothing, she finally made up her mind: "Sasuke-kun..."

What a smart girl...or me, the girls I meet are smart.

In name, Kaorin was ordered by Orochimaru to assist me, but she came here and studied the curse seal with me, so she should have noticed something wrong.

I took precautions against Xianglin and did not give her any chance to communicate with the outside world. Although I asked her to help sort out the data, I was the one who destroyed the experimental data in the end. Suigetsu and Shigego were also responsible for distributing inhibitors to the stronghold.

I don't trust her, because she is a subordinate of Zhenger Bajing Orochimaru, and the meaning of her existence is to be my experimental assistant.Now that the experiment is over, she is the only one who knows the whole research, except me.

There is one law common to all worlds: only the dead can keep secrets.

Universal Universal Rule [-]: There is no need for people who are out of use.

But... Generally speaking, the rules don't apply to me.

I didn't plan to do anything to garphos.

I turned my head slightly to look at her.

Red hair, red eyes, looks a little strange, but there is a strange harmony.Xiang Lin didn't look at me, but just stared down at the fire, the flickering fire reflected on her face, showing a trace of loneliness.

"Master Orochimaru took me in and gave me a home..." Xianglin said softly, with a bit of confusion and depression hidden in her words that maybe even she herself didn't know.

To give you a home is to let all cats and dogs bite you?

I twitched the corners of my mouth, holding back the words that were about to rush out.

I don’t quite understand these children adopted by Orochimaru, such as Xianglin. Orochimaru seems to treat her very well, providing her with food and shelter, teaching her how to use power, caring for her life and health, and even occasionally taking care of her psychological feelings , In the end, give her rights and trust, and give her the meaning of existence.But on the other hand, Xianglin is also the experimental subject of Orochimaru, and Orochimaru has never been soft on experiments.What's more, Xianglin, which is born with a strong healing ability, has been squeezed out of all its value.

I don't want to let my eyes fall on this girl.

Because the dense bite marks on her bare skin are too dazzling, and her healing ability is so strong, but because she has suffered too many injuries since she was a child, those teeth marks cannot be erased, only shallow dots remain on her body .

I feel a little sick.

I always deduce those tooth shapes uncontrollably, and then outline people who are biting girls one by one... Would a normal person just bite a strange girl casually?

Perhaps, this is the survival instinct of human beings. If they can survive, they are willing to do anything, let alone just bite others.

No, I'd rather die with my limbs cut off than drink other people's blood and absorb other people's chakra.

Uh... If it's that bastard Itachi, I can think about it, I can't wait to bite his throat.

Speaking of it, maybe Xianglin's unconscious dependence on Dashewan is also normal. After all, Dashewan didn't cut her up for research on this kind of human-shaped tonic, and made it into a canned tonic, which is quite kind.

"Do you like it when people bite you?"

Seeing that Xianglin was still looking down, I couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" Xiang Lin took a step back and looked at me in shock. She pushed her glasses unnaturally, and shouted in a stern voice, "Za, Sasuke, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

I looked at xiangphos.

"You, you, you..." Xiang Lin stumbled, and she took a few steps back, waving her hands wildly, not knowing whether to separate me or punch me, "Don't talk nonsense! Who , who would like that kind of thing?"

Is it an illusion?Why do I feel a suspicious blush flashed across this girl's face?

The sticky feeling like a big snake ball came again... It made my skin crawl a little.I looked at the girl carefully, but still found nothing. I don't know where the chill came from.

"Then don't let anyone bite you," I said.

"Sasuke?" Xianglin was taken aback.

Although it is born to be a great tonic in human form, there is no need to really make tonics for people without complaints or regrets, right?Constitution is constitution, will is will.

Xiao Li was born unable to use ninjutsu, but he wanted to become stronger and eventually became a ninja.If Xianglin really wants to get rid of the sad fate of being bitten constantly, she should work as hard as Xiao Li. She is a Uzumaki clan with huge chakra and strong self-healing ability, which is much better than Xiao Li, but Li can do it Yes, why can't she do it?

If it's not enough just to be like Lee, then make ten times the effort.It doesn't matter if I completely change my physique, lose my self-healing ability, or become so strong that others dare not ask for it anymore. Anyway, if it were me, I would never go on like this and let a group of greedy and disgusting humans gnaw my flesh and blood.

If someone wants to bite me, hit him until he doesn't dare to think about it again.If you want me to help with treatment, then kneel down and beg me, kneel down in front of me crying bitterly, and offer everything for me in exchange for my little consideration.

She should figure out who is the one asking for help.

"You belong to the Uzumaki family, and you have the ability to heal all wounds." I looked at the girl in front of me who stared at me with wide eyes, and sighed indiscernibly, "But you should know that you have the right to refuse."

"It is not your duty to treat others."

"But..." Xianglin wanted to say something.

"If you don't want others to treat you as a tool for healing, then refuse." I interrupted her, took a step forward, approached her slightly, and looked directly into her crimson eyes, "Only the weak will rely on you to bring disaster to yourself. people."

Stockholm Syndrome?

Because I am in a completely weak position, I can't help clinging to the strong, and the strong occasionally give me a little warmth, and I can't extricate myself from it. Because everything about me is controlled by the other party, I gradually get used to the life controlled by others.

Being controlled by others is also a kind of happiness, at least you don't have to worry about the future, you don't have to worry about being frightened, and you don't even have to worry about being alone.Some people control themselves, which means that others value themselves.

...very sound logic.

"Your perception ability is very strong, and you are also very outstanding in experiments."

With such a strong ability, why do you still need to depend on others?It is obviously easier to use than Dou, but Dou knows how to cause trouble for others and find a way out by himself, why can't this girl not?

The fire was burnt out, the burning flame was lost, and the laboratory regained its pale color, showing a faint coldness.

There is no need to stay in the laboratory anymore, Xiang Lin stared at me blankly, with an indescribable expression on her face, as if all I spoke were birdsong, and she couldn't understand a word.

I walked past her and walked away slowly.

"Sasuke!"

Before going out, Xianglin suddenly called me.

I stopped and waited for a while.

However, I didn't hear anything from her for a long time.

what the hell……

What's going on recently?Finding faults, talking and chatting, Chong Wu always smiled at me in confusion and asked him, but he didn't speak.Well now, the last normal-looking girl has also learned half-speaking skills.

It seems that we still have to kill Orochimaru quickly.

With a dark face, I left the laboratory.
