A week had passed since the incident. According to Ma Hui's understanding, Nakagawa Shichikai had applied to join the medical team and become a medical ninja.
During this period of time, the third generation Naruto didn't arrange for Ma Hui to join a new team. Ma Hui was happy to relax in the clan and cultivate.
This battle also made Ma Hui realize many of his shortcomings.
Lying on top of the Fire Shadow Cliff, a cool breeze blew past. Looking at the drifting white clouds, Ma Hui hadn't been so free for a long time. Usually, he would always practice in Uchiha's clan or in specific occasions. He never stopped practicing. Stealing half a day of leisure! As expected, people should know how to relax while busy.
It would be perfect if he had a pot of tea and some snacks.
"Ta."
The steady footsteps were particularly ear-piercing on this quiet Fire Shadow Cliff. Ma Hui didn't turn his head because there was no need. He didn't need to know who had come, nor did he want to know.
He had long black hair, pale cheeks, and was wearing a coquettish but clean kimono. He was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.
There was no mission today. He wanted to look around the village and see what the scenery was like from the highest point. However, when he arrived, a child occupied the spot he wanted to stand.
"Hehe, what are you doing here?”A magnetic and alluring voice entered Ma Hui's ears.
"What are you doing? I just lost my way in life. The higher I stand, the easier it is to find my way.”Ma Hui didn't turn his head. He didn't know who it was, so he only spoke lightly.
Even an amazing genius like Orochimaru couldn't help but sweat when he heard this. A six-year-old kid was looking for a direction in life. Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh.
"Sometimes, living in this world is a very confusing thing. However, as long as one is alive, one can break through the confusion and find their own direction in life.”Orochimaru looked into the distance. He wasn't just saying this to Ma Hui, he was also saying this to himself.
Ma Hui turned around and looked at the person he was talking to.
"Orochimaru." Looking at the person who came, a name instantly appeared in Ma Hui's mind.
"It seems that you know me." Orochimaru stared into Ma Hui's eyes, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Who doesn't know Lord Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas?”Although he said that, Ma Hui had no intention of getting up. A character like Orochimaru would not stoop to the level of a little brat.
At this moment, Orochimaru's strength hadn't reached its peak, but he hadn't gone through the reincarnation process. His soul was still intact, and his strength wasn't something Ma Hui could compare to. Of course, it was impossible for Ma Hui to not know his own limits.
"I heard that you are a genius of the Uchiha clan.”Orochimaru asked.
"Genius?" Ma Hui muttered to himself.
In this world, he had never thought of himself as a genius, nor had he ever thought that the Uchiha clan had produced a genius. Geniuses were just a term given to them by others. In Ma Hui's eyes, those who were stronger than the first generation Naruto and Uchiha Banban, as well as the later Uchiha Weitake and Uchiha Sasuke, could not be considered geniuses. They were merely people with powerful abilities.
There was only one true genius in the entire manga, and that was Orochimaru.
He had a strong thirst for knowledge, cultivated all kinds of talents, collected information, and conducted experimental research. He was simply a science freak.
Humans had always dreamed of immortality. Only the philosopher Orochimaru had talked about it, and he had pursued the secret through research. He had constantly used his own body to carry out all kinds of experiments.
He didn't have a good father, no powerful bloodstains, no tail beasts, and no heaven-defying luck. He wasn't a rich second-generation heir like Okami, nor did he enter Miaomu Mountain through luck like Selaiya. Instead, he searched through his own efforts and found a place with immortals, the Dragon Cave. His strength was completely dependent on his own talent.
"How does Lord Orochimaru understand the word 'genius'?”Ma Hui didn't answer Orochimaru's question directly, but instead asked.
"Isn't someone like Ma Huijun a genius?”
Orochimaru didn't answer Ma Hui's question directly because he didn't know how to answer. He was a talented genius, but he didn't think he was a genius.
Perhaps, a true genius would never think of himself as a genius. Only in this way could people with an empty cup mentality improve and become a genius in the eyes of others.
"It seems that Lord Orochimaru has done a lot of research on me.”Ma Hui tilted his head and looked at Orochimaru.
"It's not easy not to understand a genius like Ma Huijun.”After Orochimaru finished speaking, he could not help but stick out his tongue. He looked like a snake that had found its prey.
Although Ma Hui approved of Orochimaru, it didn't mean that he approved of his actions.
"I heard that Ma Huijun has developed a Mudra Ninjutsu. I wonder if you can show it to me.”Orochimaru's snake eyes stared at Ma Hui, as if he was certain that Ma Hui would not refuse.
In fact, Ma Hui had never thought of rejecting him. A person like Orochimaru would not be bothered to secretly learn other people's ninjutsu. He had the ability to develop it himself. At most, he would just use it as a reference.
Buzz. He raised a hand and a blue spiral ball appeared in his hand.
"This is the ninjutsu that Ma Huijun developed! To be able to produce the Mudra Ninjutsu by using the change in the form of chakras, what a genius, Ma Hui-kun.”Orochimaru couldn't help but praise when he saw the spiral ball in Ma Hui's hand.
"This should be an incomplete ninjutsu!”Orochimaru's experience told him that this ninjutsu could still be enhanced.
"As expected of Lord Orochimaru. This is only the form change of this ninjutsu. The nature change has not been integrated into it. Oh right, Lord Orochimaru, do you want to test the power of this ninjutsu?”Ma Hui suggested as he raised the Spiral Ball.
Looking at Ma Hui's serious expression, Orochimaru was speechless. It was an A-grade ninjutsu, yet you casually asked someone to experience it personally. Why don't you experience someone else's A-grade ninjutsu yourself?
However, Orochimaru still had confidence in his body. After hesitating for a moment, his curiosity overcame his rationality. He said to Ma Hui,"Since that's the case, Ma Hui-kun, let me experience this A-grade ninjutsu!”
Er, Orochimaru really agreed. This was beyond Ma Hui's expectations.
This time, Ma Hui hesitated and said,"Are we really going to experiment? This is very powerful."
"Come on!" Orochimaru frowned and said decisively.
Alright then! You're the one who's injured anyway.
Without hesitation, Ma Hui raised the Spiral Ball and attacked Orochimaru's abdomen.
"Bang!" The spiraling ball struck Orochimaru's abdomen with a powerful attack and spinning force.
" Uh…" Orochimaru's mouth was wide open. The veins on his forehead bulged, and sweat kept flowing.
"Bang!" The powerful impact sent Orochimaru flying. The rocks on the Fire Shadow Cliff were knocked down by Orochimaru.
"Are you alright, Lord Orochimaru?”Ma Hui didn't run over, but called out from afar. Orochimaru might not die from being attacked by the Spiral Ball, but he would definitely lose a layer.
"Kaka." Orochimaru's mouth opened wide, and a pair of hands stretched out from his mouth. Finally, Orochimaru's entire body appeared.
The Orochimaru-style substitution technique was the most perfect substitution technique. Even Eritsu's kaleidoscope shirin eyes could not see through it.
After being hit by Ma Hui's Spiral Ball, Orochimaru had no choice but to use this Chakra spell that consumed a large amount of energy.
Orochimaru stood up and instantly released his murderous aura. However, he quickly restrained his killing intent.
Do you want to kill me? Ma Hui's senses were very powerful. Even though Orochimaru's killing intent was quickly retracted, Ma Hui still sensed it. At that moment, Ma Hui felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Very good ninjutsu." Orochimaru praised. Then, he turned around and left. Just now, he almost couldn't help but kill this little brat from the Uchiha clan.
This little brat's ninjutsu almost killed him. If it wasn't for the Substitute Technique that he had developed, he would probably be lying on the ground. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Orochimaru left. However, he did not think about who was the one who wanted to experiment with ninjutsu just now.
On Ma Hui's side, although he knew that Orochimaru would be injured, he didn't expect it to be more serious than he had imagined.
