Master
Time continued to pass. After practicing day after day, I could already master the Thousand Birds Ninjutsu very well. In my current state, I can cast three Thousand Birds. Chakra still has some remaining. If I use all my strength, I should be able to break through my limit and cast another one. However, after that, I will have to exhaust my strength for a period of time and it will also cause a certain amount of damage to my body.
"Qi, how is it? Are you nervous?" There was a malicious smile on Fuqiu's face.
A few days ago, there was news that Shui Ying had finally made a move on the Moonless Water Clan. A huge battle broke out in the Shadowmist Village, and the Moonless Water Clan was almost wiped out. Only a few women and children fled to various places, and another famous clan fell.
After that, the wary and fearful Radiant Night clan also had a conflict with Shui Ying. In the constant internal friction, Shadowmist Village had suffered great losses, and it was not worth it for Mu Ye to be as vigilant as before.
Therefore, Orochimaru, who was going to be my teacher, returned to Koba. Now, Fuqiu and I officially went to the village entrance to welcome him.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. I'm just thinking about what I should learn from Lord Orochimaru.”I maintained a calm expression and tried my best to speak in a calm tone to show the nervousness and complexity in my heart.
To be honest, even though Orochimaru wouldn't harm me in any way, I still couldn't control the nervousness and fear in my heart.
"Lord Orochimaru is very powerful in many aspects, especially in ninjutsu. In the entire village, other than the three generations of adults, no one could compare to him in ninjutsu.”From his tone, it seemed that Fukuoka respected Orochimaru.
"I just want to know what he has that suits me the most. I only need something that suits me.”I retorted disapprovingly.
"Then you'll have to ask Lord Orochimaru yourself.”Fuqiu replied unhappily.
Compared to the previous two grand welcoming ceremonies, the current scene was no longer a scene that could be described as cold and cheerless. It was more like a shabby one.
Other than the sentry at the door and the necessary guards nearby, there were only a dozen people waiting around the door like statues. They did not make a sound. Fuqiu went up to greet them. After that, it was quiet, very quiet.
It was so empty that my eyes could see the corners of the streets without any obstruction. It was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.
Moreover, those dozen or so people should be Orochimaru's direct subordinates, the die-hard faction. After all, in the eyes of those big shots, anyone who came to welcome Orochimaru without the village's orders could be labeled as Orochimaru. It seemed that his current situation was not very good!
Somehow, after seeing this scene, my mood inexplicably improved. All my nervousness, worry, and fear were thrown away. I tilted my head and smiled at Fuqiu."Looks like my future teacher isn't in a good situation either!”
Fuqiu stared at me with his eyes wide open, as if he was dumbfounded, as if he didn't believe that I could say such words.
From the corner of my eye, I saw that the people around me were also glaring at me. If they didn't know that I would be Orochimaru's disciple, they would probably run over and beat me up. Looking at them like this, I felt even more amused. My laughter became even louder and more wanton.
"Oh, what's so funny, Qijun? How about you tell me too?" The hoarse voice that suddenly appeared had a rare faint gentleness. However, no matter how gentle the voice was, it could not hide the coldness and ruthlessness in it. Perhaps its owner did not want to hide it at all.
Orochimaru's sudden appearance shocked everyone present. Everyone's first reaction when they saw Orochimaru was surprisingly the same-their bodies tensed up and their pupils constricted slightly. That was nervousness.
"I just think that fate is too interesting. Teacher Orochimaru." I shrugged casually.
"Qijun, you are right. Fate is indeed very interesting.”Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he looked at me with a playful and approving gaze.
Following that, Orochimaru nodded at the dozen or so subordinates who had come to wait for him as a form of greeting. Then, he turned his gaze to the door. As for the dozen or so fellows, they seemed to have received a great honor and were inexplicably excited.
Now, I had the time to carefully examine him. Orochimaru was wearing a standard ninja suit with a tight-fitting suit and a green vest. His forehead was covered with a shield. His posture was straight, and he did not look like he had been injured. The information that he had been seriously injured not long ago was obviously not true. She only felt that he looked much more heroic in this outfit than in a kimono. He was not as delicate and feminine.
Ten minutes later, a large group of ninjas appeared at the entrance of the village. They were the ninjas who had returned with Orochimaru. They were dressed in tattered clothes like defeated soldiers, but they were all standing straight. Although his face was covered in dust, he looked very clean and energetic.
When they saw this empty and quiet scene, they couldn't help but tremble. Then, their bodies couldn't help but step down. Their faces were filled with deep disappointment. This disappointment turned into anger after a moment. The faces of those who welcomed them were distorted by anger.
I saw the corner of Orochimaru's mouth curl up slightly. He said in his usual hoarse and calm voice,"Everyone, I'm very happy to be able to fight with you. I'm even more happy to be able to return to the village alive with you. I look forward to working with you next time. I think what everyone needs now is information and rest. Alright, you are dismissed." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving a group of people staring at each other.
Fuqiu gave me a look to signal me to follow. I nodded to Fuqiu to show that I understood and followed, maintaining a position about one step behind Orochimaru.
When Orochimaru and I reached the corner of the street, I glanced at the disappointed ninjas who had already dispersed.
"Oh, you're back already." A tall man with a loud voice rushed up and said to Orochimaru.
There was a large group of people behind him. There were the third generation, the group, the gang, and the other big shots of Koba.
"En, the injuries of my subordinates are not light. I have already dismissed them.”I, Orochimaru, said nonchalantly as my eyes swept across the expressions of the Muye bosses after hearing this. After hearing Orochimaru's words, everyone was enlightened, surprised, amused, and praised. However, most of them were furious.
I suddenly understood in my heart. Good move, Orochimaru was indeed a good move!
Originally, these big shots wanted to join forces to suppress Orochimaru and ruthlessly cut off his face, but they were tricked by Orochimaru instead. Now, in the eyes of everyone who had returned this time, the upper echelons of Muye were all petty people who favored one over the other, and were full of conflict with the upper echelons. If the hearts of the people were scattered, how could they lead the team? Compared to those higher-ups, the commander who fought alongside him and received the same cold treatment was naturally much more trustworthy and adorable. Orochimaru was really amazing. Not only did he give the upper echelons of Kanye a loud slap in the face by just arriving a little earlier, but he also easily received the favor of a large group of teams. He won beautifully, turning the clouds with a flip of his hand and turning the rain with a flip of his hand!
There was nothing else to say after that. It seemed that they were not in the right mood to chat. After a few formal conversations, everyone dispersed. I continued to follow behind Orochimaru.
During this period of time, quite a few people had their eyes on me as if they were looking at some precious animal, which made me very unhappy.
"I haven't seen you for a while. Qijun, you've changed a lot.”Orochimaru seemed to be in a good mood after fooling those big shots.
"Oh, change? What kind of change?”Without a range, it was hard to say.
"You've grown in all aspects, beyond my expectations.”The words were filled with an indescribable meaning.
"Oh, really? That was what he should do. If he didn't grow and improve, he would only die on the battlefield.”
"Then, Qijun, you hate war.”His voice was a little playful.
" Actually, there's nothing to hate or like. War itself is a part of ninja life, just like eating and drinking. There's no meaning in talking about likes or dislikes. Thinking about it carefully, if there was no war, I would also feel quite depressed!”I said half-truthfully.
"Hahaha, what an interesting comment. Is this how you grow in the war?!”Orochimaru laughed loudly after hearing my words.
" You can say so. If there is war, we will naturally face death. The experience of wandering between life and death will cleanse the soul of a person. The impurities in the soul, faith, and thoughts will be completely removed, and people will become pure. " We will be sublimated in this process. Those who cannot be sublimated will inevitably be eliminated by history.”I continued to make comments that echoed his thoughts. It felt a little strange, like a declaration from a cult. However, a large part of it was indeed what I felt.
"Qijun, talking to you is really interesting. This is the first time I've found someone so similar to me.”Orochimaru grinned happily.
I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly, while Orochimaru smiled even more happily.
"What about my future cultivation?" I asked directly.
"From tomorrow onwards, as long as I have time, you can come and find me.”
