Chapter 29 Orochimaru's Appreciation of Kiyohara
Chapter 29 Orochimaru's Appreciation of Kiyohara
As for the regeneration of the White Serpent, its Yang Release chakra increased by 20%.
Yang Release is the foundation of all medical ninjutsu. The more Yang Release chakra one possesses, the stronger the healing ability and the faster the recovery speed.
For Qingyu, who is currently learning medical ninjutsu, this trait is only slightly less valuable than the wish for immortality.
As expected of Orochimaru.
While others practice ninjutsu, he's truly using technology.
"Tsunade told me about your situation."
Orochimaru took two steps back, creating distance again.
"But I don't like to draw conclusions before I see them with my own eyes."
"Attack me, let me see what you're made of now."
Qingyu glanced at Tsunade.
Tsunade nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to hold back.
Qingyu no longer hesitated, took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and formed hand seals.
Water gushed out from a point on the blade of the kunai, spinning rapidly and enveloping the entire kunai, forming a sharp water blade.
Water Release: Water Blade Slash.
Qingyu pushed off with his feet and lunged at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's figure swayed slightly, and the water blade grazed the hem of his clothes, but didn't even touch it.
"This speed is faster than some genin, isn't it?"
Orochimaru said calmly.
Without pausing after landing, Qingyu pushed off with her feet and moved forward again.
This time, he handed the kunai to his left hand, and at the same time took out two shuriken from his ninja tool pouch with his right hand. The shuriken flew towards Orochimaru in two directions, one above and one below.
Orochimaru didn't even dodge this time. He simply raised his right hand, and two white snakes darted out of his sleeve, grabbed the sword in his hand, and then disappeared back into his sleeve.
"good."
Orochimaru nodded.
Being able to react in such a short time is quite impressive.
Tsunade leaned against the door frame, her eyebrows slightly raised.
When did this kid improve so much?
Although Orochimaru easily neutralized that combo, the smoothness of the transition and the timing of the attack were a step up from the last monthly exam.
Tsunade stroked her chin, suddenly feeling a bit sentimental.
If only her gambling skills could improve as quickly as Qingyu's.
Who would have thought that after years of gambling, he would still be a novice upon his return?
In the arena, Qingyu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a crimson glint appeared in her eyes.
A magatama slowly rotated in the pupil.
Sharingan.
Orochimaru looked into those eyes, and the curve of his lips deepened slightly.
Just as the intelligence indicated, he had already awakened the Sharingan.
Such talent is extremely rare, even within the Uchiha clan itself.
Qingyu didn't give Orochimaru much time to reflect.
They began forming hand seals again.
Orochimaru looked at him with great interest, then suddenly stretched out his right hand.
From the cuff, several brown venomous snakes swarmed out, their mouths agape as they lunged at Qingyu.
Qingyu's Sharingan spun rapidly, allowing his dynamic vision to clearly see the movements of the snake swarm.
The next moment, Qingyu raised her head.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
The white snakes suddenly froze in mid-air.
Although they are creatures summoned by Orochimaru, they are still living beings with chakra flowing within them and are still susceptible to the effects of genjutsu.
"Can illusions be this beautiful...?"
Orochimaru looked down at the snakes that Kiyohara had controlled.
The timing of the action was impeccable.
Why can't ordinary people cast illusions so easily?
It's important to know that hand seals are a pre-cast animation that most ninjas cannot avoid.
Illusionary techniques of the eye type are equivalent to hand seal ninjutsu.
Taking advantage of the brief pause, Qingyu pushed off with her feet and leaped out of the snake swarm.
But as he landed, a hand gently pressed on his shoulder.
Orochimaru had appeared behind him without him even noticing.
That's enough.
Orochimaru withdrew his hand, a cryptic smile on his face.
He had the entire test under his control from beginning to end.
But Qingyu's performance did exceed his expectations.
The fact that Kiyoyu could use genjutsu to freeze the snake he summoned while in a one-tomoe state shows that Kiyoyu's eye power is much stronger than that of other Uchiha of the same age.
What Orochimaru was even more concerned about was Kiyoha's ability to adapt in battle.
From easily dodging the first attack to trying various methods to find a breakthrough, and finally finding the right moment to control the venomous snake, this growth is clearly visible.
Most importantly, he was born with the Sharingan, possessed all five chakra natures, and combined the physique of the Senju clan with the eye power of the Uchiha clan.
This child is so perfect, like the final answer to his long-sought scientific research goal.
"I am very satisfied with this assistant."
Orochimaru turned to Tsunade, took an envelope out of his pocket, and handed it to her.
He had only been joking with Tsunade, but now he was genuinely considering taking Kiyoha as his disciple.
"You don't need to pay back the money I borrowed. This is an additional reward. I'll return the person to you in a few days."
Tsunade took the envelope, felt its thickness, and her brows immediately relaxed.
Boss, you're so generous!
She opened the envelope and began counting the money.
One, two, three...
As she counted, Tsunade's conscience suddenly began to ache.
Sending people to Orochimaru feels like pushing a little rabbit into a snake's den.
She looked up and glanced at Qingyu, who was standing next to the lab table, observing the laboratory.
Tsunade stuffed the envelope into her pocket and made a decision in her heart.
We'll have to make it up to this kid later.
"Let's go, Qingyu."
Tsunade waved to Kiyoha.
Today is just a preliminary meeting.
Qingyu bid farewell to Orochimaru, then followed Tsunade out of the research institute.
It wasn't until they had walked two blocks that Qingyu turned back to look at the building covered in ivy.
This meeting was very fruitful.
He has two D-rank traits and has also made connections with Orochimaru.
Although Orochimaru is dangerous, he also possesses many valuable items.
As long as you maintain a proper balance and keep an appropriate distance, this line may well become a source of support for your growth.
Importantly, Qingyu has Tsunade behind him.
The bond between the three legendary Sannin was quite strong; they shared a life-or-death friendship.
In the original work, after Orochimaru killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, he went to Tsunade to heal his hands and told her that she was the only one he didn't want to kill.
Finally, seeing that Tsunade was willing to sacrifice her life for a kid she had just met, he felt that Tsunade was wasting her precious life, and in a fit of rage, he really did kill her.
Moreover, Orochimaru treated Nawaki quite well. If Nawaki's death hadn't further deepened Orochimaru's understanding of the fragility of life, he might not have turned evil so early.
Anko Mitarashi did not want to betray the village, and Orochimaru also left after erasing Anko Mitarashi's memories of his experiments.
"However, there is some danger to my health."
Qingyu pondered for a moment.
Can Orochimaru resist his temptation?
……
A few days later, Qingyu's daily routine of going to school, training, and returning home included an additional task: assisting Orochimaru.
Fortunately, none of them were difficult; they were just some basic experiments.
Furthermore, Orochimaru would also take the time to provide some guidance to Kiyoha.
He possesses seven chakra natures: fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yin, and yang, which is extremely rare in the ninja world and comparable to innate full soul power.
Therefore, he has done some research on any chakra-based ninjutsu.
Qingyu also eagerly absorbed knowledge from Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, what are we learning today?"
After finishing her work, Qingyu looked at Orochimaru, who was washing his hands.
