Facing the gate in front of him, he felt like he had returned to the past. The seemingly peaceful village was hiding a huge killing intent.
The girl stood rooted to the ground, not moving forward at all. She seemed to be thinking or waiting…
After a short moment of silence, she felt an aura approaching. She looked up and saw the person's appearance.
[Long time no see, Lord Silver.] Dou bowed to the girl in front of him, unable to look her in the eye. As expected of someone that Orochimaru had taken a fancy to. After the previous experience, he was very interested in Silver's ability.
The girl was puzzled by the term " Lord ". It was strange for this person to say it to her.
[Please come with me now.] Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he turned his head and whispered to the person behind him,"This is Master Orochimaru's order. He wants me to send you safely to the base."」
How ironic! Since there would be such treatment. Even so, it was impossible for her to be satisfied. She followed Dou to the so-called base.
It was inconspicuous but very secretive. Walking in the corridor that extended to all the rooms, one could clearly hear the sound of footsteps. On both sides, one could see many doors of the same style, but they did not see anyone.
At this time, Endo suddenly stopped and stopped thinking,"We're here."」
As he spoke, he looked at the door in front of him. It didn't look anything special. It was exactly the same as the other rooms he had seen when he entered. The only difference was! It was the cold air coming from this door.
The girl had the illusion that she was being spied on, as if someone in the room was looking at her. Only a door was not enough to block this sharp gaze.
He noticed it immediately and frowned.
The door was pushed open as if it had received an order. The girl met his sharp, snake-like eyes. A man in a white kimono leaned against the back of the chair with an arrogant posture. He did not take anyone seriously at all.
This was the first time! He would have this kind of gaze, that pair of golden eyes staring at the person in front of him.」
Orochimaru stood up and came in front of her. His straight but thin body was right in front of her. He bent down and made their eyes meet.
What he saw was that cold and arrogant expression that he couldn't ignore. The girl saw his pale face, but she also saw the wild joy in his eyes.
He reached out and took off the girl's pure white hat. Her silver-white hair was exposed. He was so close that his long black hair could sweep across her face, and his voice drifted into her ears.
[I didn't expect that just this distance could make me so fascinated by you!]」
It was obvious that Silver was disgusted by this distance. She turned her head to look to the side, but Orochimaru completely denied her actions. He used his slender bandaged hand to press against the girl's forehead, causing her to look up and meet the disgusted gaze again.
She felt the coldness in his hand, the warmth of a corpse. It was only a little time, but it made her feel as if a century had passed.
Moreover, time was frozen like stagnant water!
The girl slapped the hand away and moved away. Her murderous aura soared as if she would not be polite if Orochimaru dared to take another step.
A clear voice lingered around him."You don't have the right to touch me.」
She was completely different from the girl's image. Her voice was calm but childish, reflecting her innocent appearance. Perhaps only her voice matched the characteristics of her age.
This was the first thing she said in front of Orochimaru, like a warning.
He looked at her thoughtfully. He did not feel irritated by the girl's actions just now. Instead, the joy in his heart deepened. It was as if he had confirmed something and an evil smile that could not be guessed.
[Lord Orochimaru.] Dou walked in and saw that the time was just right.
[It's almost time.] Although the words were directed at Dou, his gaze was still on Silver, and the reflection of the pair of bloody eyes could be seen in his eyes.」
[There's no need.] The girl's voice rang out again. She was here for a mission, so there was no need for her to stay here for long. As long as she completed it, she would leave immediately. It had always been her style.
"In order to understand the progress of the mission, Lord Orochimaru believes that you must stay.」
He turned around and glanced at the man before leaving with Dou.
He observed the surroundings of the room. Because it was underground, there were no windows. He picked up the paper on the table. It was what seemed to be a list of 1,000 people.
It turned out that it was the mission list. The 1,000 people listed on the paper were the next targets to be dealt with.
Something flashed in the girl's eyes. Looking at the names of the people who had already been foretold of their deaths, how could she describe this feeling? These people were just sacrifices for Orochimaru to achieve his goal.
To her, that was all. He turned around and walked out of the room.
She didn't hide her aura. She was already in the snake's nest, and doing so wouldn't change anything.
[Dou, do you think 1,000 people are too few?」Orochimaru was still leaning against the back of the chair with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Judging from that lord's strength, this is indeed not enough.」Dou stood behind Orochimaru and answered. With White Reaper's strength, he could finish everyone off in less than ten days.
Dou knew that Orochimaru wanted to keep her forever, but even if he followed the plan, he couldn't be sure of the final result.
[Lord Orochimaru, what are you going to do next?」
Orochimaru only smiled when he heard Dou's words. In his eyes, there was no one else but Silver.
"It doesn't matter how I do it. No matter what means I have to use, I will get everything she has.」
In the night, a hundred people were killed in a row. The first thing that people thought of was the White Death.
To be able to have such an amazing record, no one else had been able to do it except for her. The girl didn't take this matter seriously. Anyway, it couldn't change anything. She was used to it and naturally didn't care.
She was used to moving at night, and it was easy to expose her movements during the day, so everything about her was still a mystery.
Many people used all kinds of methods to expose the truth, but until now, there was still no insider information about "Silver".
Dawn was approaching, and the sun gradually shone on her body. She narrowed her eyes and stopped just as she was about to take her first step. He looked up and stopped walking in the familiar direction. After a short moment of silence, he walked in another direction.
When he arrived at the base, he did not return to his room. Instead, he came to a place that was similar to a training ground. It was spacious and hidden.
After taking a few glances, he took off his cloak and hung the flame-colored crystal pendant in front of his chest. He pulled out the scarlet sword and began to practice his swordsmanship.
Her swordsmanship had been trained by Ren since she was young. Before she had the ability to fight, she had already prepared for the trials in the future. She had spent a few years since she was born to forget her sympathy and feelings.
When she was five years old, she had memorized everything that she could learn in this world. Whether it was swordsmanship, ninjutsu, techniques, or knowledge, she had only reached the level of an expert. This red sword was also a weapon that Ren had specially forged at that time. In the end, he had given it to her.
Perhaps some people would think that she was a genius, but that she had used her ability in the wrong place…
Over the past five days, Silver had been continuously training and completing missions. He had no time to rest or sleep. This time, he did not walk to the training ground like he did a few days ago. Instead, he returned to his room.
He removed the heavy objects from his body and lay on the bed. He turned his body sideways and fell into a deep sleep...
Time seemed to have stopped, and the sound seemed to have disappeared. The girl lay peacefully on the bed and slept soundly.
In this quiet room, the door suddenly opened, followed by the sound of footsteps. He gradually walked towards the bed and stopped for a long time. Just as he was about to make his next move, the blood pupil suddenly opened, stopping him.
[Leave.] Silver was still lying down, his bloody eyes looking straight ahead, not looking at that person.
Orochimaru seemed to have known that she was asleep and smiled disapprovingly."Come to me, and I will let you get what you want."」
This sentence did not make her react too much. She closed her eyes and thought,"I don't have anything I want.」
[Even if there is, you can't give it to me.」
Such decisive words made Orochimaru's eyes flash with interest."Are you very confident?」
She stood up and looked to the side. Her bangs covered half of her face. She had an indifferent expression. She never realized that she would say such words."What else can a person without a future ask for?"」
He had never had any expectations. The past was already a scar that he could not let go of. Could he still hope for the future?
"In that case, you should have no reason to refuse.」Orochimaru's face had the evil smile of the past."Staying in that kind of place won't benefit you."」
The girl stood up silently and walked past him towards the door.
He turned to look at the person behind him and said in his usual cold tone,"Our mission in Kansai will end after we complete it. That's all."」
Her pure appearance, her cold temperament, her cold eyes, her sharp moves…she maintained this posture from beginning to end.
The man looked at her back as she left, his eyes filled with a smile that had not existed for many years.
In the dark of the night, Silver returned to her room and threw the list on the table. She did not look at it again. It was not worth staying here for long.
Walking in this empty corridor, she felt as if her breath had disappeared. She could still hear her own footsteps, passing through the empty space that was like a hall. It was so spacious, but she was still underground.
[Are you planning to leave just like that?」
The voice came from the front. Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at the white figure. It was like the first time they met, her face was hidden under the hood again.
Silver didn't reply to his words. He just stood there quietly, as if they had never met.
The girl in front of him would always be a mystery! No matter how Orochimaru observed for the past ten days, he couldn't find anything.
Minlue's observation skills showed that she knew their purpose from the beginning. Her alertness would not let her guard down even in her sleep. Her calm judgment allowed her to quickly come up with countermeasures in any situation.
His strength was never used normally, and he could kill people mercilessly and turn a blind eye to their deaths…
What fascinated Orochimaru even more was that pair of blood-red eyes. They were so clear that he could see his own reflection in them, but they were also mixed with an expression that he would never be able to see clearly.
There were many contradictions in this girl!
Her weak body had the astonishing strength of an expert. Beneath her innocent appearance was a cold, arrogant, and emotionless look that was stained with blood. Her strange, blood-red eyes had never been stirred by anyone else…
It was like spring water that had been filtered thousands of times, so clean that it was frightening.
She would never reveal the naivety unique to her age. He would never let others discover his weakness.
She was too perfect! It was so perfect that it made people want to take it for themselves. She had no desires, so there was only one reason for her will to fight: to survive!
"I still don't understand why you're willing to stay in that place.」
That person's tone sounded like he was lucky. The girl looked up at the front with the same indifferent expression."What are you trying to say?」
[Didn't I say it before?] His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint smile on his face."Come to me, I need your strength.」
She frowned in disbelief. This was the first time she had a direct conversation with the person in front of her.」
Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone. Silver had always known about Orochimaru. As she had traveled everywhere, she had some understanding of most of the information. It was as if there was nothing in this world that she did not know.
[I didn't expect you to be so clear.] He was not surprised, but the smile in his eyes deepened."Red Lotus 'eye technique is not like the Sharunan that can be transplanted at will. If it is not the original soul, it will not be effective.」
She didn't know where Orochimaru found out about it, but she couldn't tell from his tone that he was disappointed.
"Let's talk again! It is indeed a pity to use you as a vessel.」
"What I want is not just power…" The corners of his lips curled up."And…everything about you!"」
Like a snake staring at its prey, it stuck out its slender tongue and wandered between its upper and lower lips. It looked at the person in front of it wantonly. It would not be satisfied if it did not succeed.
A huge killing intent instantly erupted, but the shocking explosive power was not enough to make her afraid.
He looked straight ahead, but he was calm as if nothing had happened. Not only his expression, but even his expression seemed natural.
[Destroy the Chaotic Snakes.] He released several giant snakes and attacked her.
When the attack was less than a meter away from her, it suddenly bounced off and flew to the other side. The snakes seemed to have been burned into ashes by fire. What appeared in front of Orochimaru was a flaming eye that he had never seen before.
It was as if there was a living flame in the girl's eyes. The strange blood pupils turned into burning red flames, deepening the illusion that she could not leave her sight.
Orochimaru was deeply attracted. Something flashed in his eyes, and a longing emotion surged in his heart.」
Every attack was blocked by the girl's Flame Shield. The two of them looked at each other, allowing the girl to capture a certain emotion that flashed through Orochimaru's smile.
He pulled out the red sword at his waist. At the same time, a powerful attack attacked from behind, breaking through Hong Lian's defense.
She had already turned around to block the attack. She deviated from the attack's trajectory and hit the wall, forming a violent dent. It was obvious how destructive it was.
He waved the long sword in his hand. There were no wounds on the sword. The Crimson Sword was made of natural iron and silver, so it could not be damaged by such a small attack. Coupled with the enhancement of the Chakra flame, it had become the most destructive and defensive weapon in the world.
In the next second, it disappeared from Orochimaru's eyes. What appeared next was a lightning-fast attack. It was difficult to even see clearly and dodge, let alone counterattack.
Orochimaru spat out the kusanagi sword from his mouth and suppressed the girl's continuous attacks.」As he spoke, he noticed the wound on Orochimaru's waist. It was extremely deep and blood was flowing non-stop.
A snake emerged from her sleeve. Just as it was about to tie up the prey in front of it, it grabbed nothing. The girl instantly moved a short distance away.
Orochimaru knew very well that she would not be subdued so easily, but it was also because of this that his interest deepened. If it was so easy to get her, there would be no fun!
[The only person worthy of me in this world is you…Silver.]」
The smile on his face could be seen. The girl's face darkened, and silence spread in the air. Waving the Crimson Sword, the flames covered all vision, and the sound disappeared at that moment.
Then, there was an explosion, and the ground shook violently. Her large-scale attack blasted a big hole in the ceiling, leaving only a trace of the girl's aura in the air.
[What happened?!] When Dou heard the explosion, he quickly rushed in the direction of the sound.
When they arrived, they saw the walls that had been shattered by the shaking of the ground and the big hole in the ceiling that could not be ignored.
He looked around calmly. He saw a figure and didn't find any other aura. When he came to the back of the lord he respected, he noticed the wound on the lord's waist.
The blood still showed no signs of solidifying. The depth of the wound could be clearly seen. It should not have been so serious originally. Perhaps it was because of the last impact that caused the wound to worsen drastically. Even if he had successfully withstood it at that time, it had still deepened the original wound.
[Lord Orochimaru.] This was the first time Orochimaru had suffered such a serious injury, because the bleeding still showed no signs of stopping. If he didn't treat it quickly, it might be even more serious.
Hearing Dou's words, he only sneered as if he was saying," This little injury can't do anything to me!
Looking up at the sky, he said,"In the end, she ran away.」There was a faint smile on his face. It was impossible to understand what he was thinking.
Snakes! He couldn't stop there. His desire to go to the bottom of the valley didn't decrease at all. Instead, it made him even more excited.
His eyes were filled with the reflection of the girl's pupils. He curled his lips and thought about his next move.
He opened the door of the room that he was so familiar with. There was no aura in the room at all. He habitually walked to his own room.
He turned his head to look at the note on the table. He had just returned, but he had a mission again. He closed his eyes silently, his hands relaxed as he put the note into his pocket.
Other than the girl's disappearing aura, nothing else had changed in the empty room.
After the mission was completed, Silver was on his way back when he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of depression. He pressed his hand on his chest and returned at twice the speed he usually did.
When he stepped through the door, the floor was littered with books, and there were some bloodstains on the paper. Lying beside him was a corpse that he could not recognize. There was no shock in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that…as the number one assassin, you would end up like this.」He tilted his head and looked at the large knife hanging down from the corpse's hand."Your blade can't kill anyone anymore."」
She covered his eyes with her hands and stared at him for a short time. After all, he was the person who had taken care of her for many years.
After a moment of silence, he stood up and left. When he reached the door, he paused and turned to the corpse that no longer spoke." I'll accept that name..."
Her cold smile was emotionless. Perhaps even her heart was frozen.
A snake hiding in a dark corner made a self-deprecating sound as it watched the girl's back as she left...
