Testing
"Qi, I heard that your performance during this period of time has been quite good. Today is a good opportunity for me to see what progress you have made.”On the way, Orochimaru gave me a meaningful look.
"Teacher, you've been very busy recently. I haven't had the chance to receive your guidance for a while. Today, I can ask you to give me an evaluation of my exploration during this period of time. I hope my progress during this period of time will satisfy you.”I replied confidently. There is no teacher who doesn't like a confident disciple. In the entire history of Muye, I have already stood at the peak of my age group. No one can compare to me, so I should be so confident.
As for how to get along with Orochimaru, after a period of personal experience, coupled with my own speculations and speculations, I had also come up with some rules. First of all, I want to show that I'm the same kind of person as Orochimaru and that I'll walk the same path in the future. This is the only way to maintain the meager teacher-student relationship between us.
Second, I don't need to be so respectful or humble to him. He's a pragmatic and exploitative person. As long as I can constantly show my self-worth and usefulness, he won't be unhappy because of my usual little disrespect. On the contrary, no matter how much they respected him, he would mercilessly abandon them when they were of no use to him. Gunmaro was the best example.
Third, I have to show my intelligence. This intelligence is not a talent for 'technique', but a seasoned and cunning person. I have to let him understand that I'm not someone who can be used casually, and I'm not willing to be used by others. You can use me, but you have to give me enough benefits first.
Fourth, I need to show my desire for power and guidance, but I also need to show my limits. My respect for him was completely built on the basis of his powerful strength. In order to become stronger, I would listen to his teachings and arrangements. However, I also had my own bottom line. Under certain circumstances, I would rather give up my strength and his guidance than give up on him. And showing my loyalty to the Uchiha family was the best way to express this bottom line.
Fifth, whether in the family or Muye, I have to constantly consolidate and strengthen my position and influence. I have to let him know that I am not someone who can be easily touched. If he touches me, it will cause a lot of trouble. It will cause a huge loss to his reputation, influence, and interests. It will make him feel that it is not worth it.
Although the above approach seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, it was always good to prepare for a rainy day. Because I had a certain understanding of Orochimaru's perversion and madness through the original work, I couldn't help but feel a little traumatized. In my opinion, the reason why he hasn't been around for so long is probably because he's conducting some forbidden technique experiments or something related to forbidden techniques.
The battle was not as intense as they had imagined. The war machine that had activated Muye was no longer something that any country or village could withstand, especially when the opponent was a small country like the Steel Nation. After killing a few of the Ninjas, I no longer had the desire to fight. I simply retreated to Orochimaru's side.
Looking down from the slope, Muye's encirclement of Steel Ninja Village had been completed, and they were in the process of dividing it. Once the division was completed, it would be the final harvest with the advantage of military strength. No matter what, Steel Ninja Village would cease to exist after today, and the Country of Steel would face the fate of being annexed by other countries.
Orochimaru had been standing on the high ground from the beginning to the end. He looked at the struggling enemy ninjas coldly and disdainfully, and did not attack once. The other two of the Three Ninjas, Okami and Ikari, were the same. They also displayed the reserved and cold demeanor of the Three Ninjas. A Shadow Grade powerhouse should be as proud as a Shadow Grade powerhouse.
It was unknown if they were conscious or not, but the three of them were standing at the three apices of an equinox triangle. As long as the people fighting below could see at least one of them clearly, even if they didn't make a move, they still gave the Koba Ninjas great encouragement and motivation. At the same time, the three of them were like three huge mountains pressing down on the hearts of the Gangninjas, constantly attacking their fighting spirit.
In the past, he had always heard about the Three Enforcers, but that was only a rumor. He was trying to deduce and guess Sanren's strength, but that was just a guess. Although I still didn't have the chance to directly feel Sanren's strength today, it seemed that I already had a clearer answer in my heart.
Today's Watergate was exceptionally lively. Its swift movements were like fish in water in the chaotic battle. Its hands were constantly reaping lives one after another. The golden figure was particularly eye-catching, as if it was explaining to everyone a completely different kind of combat art. Occasionally, he would use a 'Spiral Ball' to easily take down the enemy. Many people had already noticed the powerful 'Spiral Ball' that didn't require any hand seals. Today, he was destined to be the most dazzling star.
"Is this the Spiral Pill? It's a very good ninjutsu.”Orochimaru praised. There was a hint of conceit in his tone. In his opinion, although the Spiral Pill was powerful, it was not to the extent that it could threaten him.
" The Water Gate is testing out its moves. After all, the 'Spiral Pill' spell isn't complete yet. I believe that after sacrificing so many lives today, it will definitely bring some new inspiration to the Water Gate. "Maybe the next time we meet, it won't be like this." I tried my best to speak in a tone that suited Orochimaru's appetite.
"Is that so? Then let's wait and see. By the way, my lovely disciple, I heard that your Thousand Birds is the exact opposite of Shuimen's Spiral Pill. It is the extreme of Chakra's qualitative change, and it is also a complete ninjutsu. How about it? Would you like to perform it for me?”Orochimaru's deep and hoarse voice was tinged with a hint of anticipation.
"I'm happy to be of service to you." Orochimaru's request is also in line with my interests. He wants to see the secrets of my ninjutsu, and I want to become famous.
Step by step, I walked towards the battlefield. At the same time, he began to form seals with one hand. Five seals disappeared in an instant, and the magnificent scene of a thousand birds chirping appeared again.
In the Wood Leaf Thousand Birds, it was no longer a secret that only the higher-ups knew. Now, he was the protagonist of many rumors. There were also many discussions about his strange signs and power, but very few ninjas had actually seen him. Therefore, when the sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out, many ninjas turned their attention to me. I immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Today is my first time performing in front of so many people, so I have to put in extra effort and effort. I activated my Shura Eye to the maximum and aimed at my first target. It was a Jounin who wasn't weak, but his movement technique was relatively weaker. I entered the optimal attack range and began to sprint to my limits. I covered the distance of 20 meters in the blink of an eye. My extreme speed and powerful explosive power didn't give him any chance. With Chidori in my right hand, I directly pierced through his chest.
After I hit him, I didn't waste any time. I kicked his shoulder and flipped backwards before quickly retreating. I wouldn't make the same mistake as last time when my right hand was grabbed by someone. After that, I jumped a few times to get rid of the gazes that were locked on me. I held the Kunai in my right hand and knocked away a few darts and shuriken. His left hand began to form seals again.
Just as the second Thousand Birds was about to be completed, he threw Kunai into the temple of a rookie. Then, with his right hand, which had begun to gather a large number of lightning chakras, he charged forward again.
He once again pierced through his chest, kicked it away, flipped, jumped, and dodged. Then, he used Kunai to knock away the opponent's darts and shuriken, threw Kunai again, and formed another seal.
Then, he completed the third Thousand Birds and the third attack…
And then the fourth time…
In less than a minute and a half, four Chidori had taken the lives of four enemy Jounin. This simple, fast, efficient, direct, and clean attack shocked everyone.
Even though the chakras had improved a little during this period of time, if I were to cast a fifth Thousand Birds, I would still use up all of my chakras, which would be quite a burden on my body. After thinking for a moment, I once again cast the " Fire Escape Grand Fireball Technique " as the end of today's performance.
After a few leaps, he returned to the slope where Orochimaru was standing. Overall, today's performance was perfect. I believe that my name and Chidori's name will definitely become even more popular in Muye.
"What's wrong? There aren't any chakras left, right?”He sounded certain. As expected of a master of ninjutsu, Orochimaru's words hit me right in the heart.
"That's right. The lack of chakras is already the biggest obstacle restricting my development.”I said with some distress. Actually, this was all bullshit. The amount of chakra I had now was already unimaginable for my age group. It was almost impossible for ninjas below the Jounin level to release four Chidoriks in a row. No matter how many chakras he had, it was impossible for him to use more than six thousand birds in a row. This involved the problem of the human body's endurance.
"Don't worry. You're already very outstanding now. You just have to continue cultivating.”Orochimaru's tone was filled with obvious admiration. Are you trying to trick and mislead me? With his level, how could he not see that my thoughts were wrong? It was just that he didn't want to tell me.
The current direction of development should be like what Watergate and Kuraiya had said. They should not cling to Chidori and not let go. They should try to use and combine other low-consumption ninjutsu to make it more efficient and form their own combat style. After all, although Chidori's power was terrifying, the consumption was equally terrifying.
Testing is a must. We have to test each other in order to understand something.
(Today's first update.)
Alright, I'll respect everyone's opinion. I'll use that big lizard. He really didn't want to create a spiritual beast. That would abandon the style of this article and make it feel like something completely different.
Oh right, how many words was that lizard anime? I'm not familiar with animation, please tell me.
There are also many things in the animation that have nothing to do with the manga. I personally feel that they will destroy the original work, so most of them will be deleted. Please understand!）
