027 Apprenticeship

Time is passing by, and during the day-to-day practice, I can master the ninjutsu of Chidori very well. With my current state, I can cast three Chidori, and there is still a little left in chakra. If I try my best, I should be able to break through the limit and cast one, but I will have to lose my strength for a period of time and it will also cause certain damage to my body.

"Qi, how about you? Are you nervous?" Fuqiu had a malicious smile on his face.

A few days ago, news came that Shuiying finally attacked the Shui Wuyue clan. There was a big fight in the Wuying Village. The Shui Wuyue clan was almost exterminated, and only some women and children fled to various places. Another wealthy family in the famous ninja world collapsed.

Afterwards, the Kaguya clan, who was on guard and fear, also had friction with Mizuki. In the continuous internal friction, the loss of Mizuki Village was huge, and it was not worth Konoha being as alert as before.

So, Orochimaru, who was about to become my teacher, was about to return to Konoha. Now Toki and I officially went to the entrance of the village to greet him.

"There is nothing to be nervous about. I am just thinking about what to learn from Lord Orochimaru." I looked calm and tried to make my tone lighter to demonstrate the tension and complexity I am now.

To be honest, although Orochimaru will not be detrimental to me from all aspects of consideration, I still can't control my tension and the slightest fear.

"Orochimaru is very powerful in many aspects, especially in the aspect of ninjutsu. There are three generations of adults in the village, and no one can compare with him in ninjutsu." From the tone, Tokika highly respects Orchimaru and respects them very much.

"I just want to know what he has the most suitable for me. I just need something that suits me." I replied without considering it.

"Then you will ask Lord Orochimaru yourself." Tokuki returned without being angry.

Compared with the grand welcome ceremony in the previous two times, the current scene is no longer compatible with the word "cold" and it is almost as shabby.

Except for the guard post at the door and the necessary guards nearby, only a dozen people were waiting around the gate like statues, without making any sound. Fuqiu went up to say hello to them, and then it was quiet, very quiet.

It was so empty that my eyes could see the corners along the long streets without any obstruction, so quiet that I could hear my heartbeat.

Moreover, those dozen people should be Orochimaru's direct subordinates and loyalists. After all, in the eyes of those big names, without the village instructions, those who come to greet Orochimaru can be labeled as Orochimaru. It seems that his current situation is not very good!

Somehow, after seeing this scene, my mood improved inexplicably. I didn’t know where the nervousness, worries and fear were thrown. I tilted my head and smiled at Fuqiu: "It seems that my future teacher's situation is not very good!"

Fuqiu stared at me with wide eyes, as if he was stupid, as if he didn't believe that I could say such things.

I saw the people around me glaring at me. If they hadn't known that I would be Orochimaru's disciple, I would have run over and beat me up. Looking at them like this, I felt more and more funny in my heart, and my laughter became bigger and more wanton.

"Oh, what's so funny, Qijun? What do you want to tell me?" The sudden hoarse voice was a rare faint softness, but no matter how soft the sound was, it could not hide the coldness and ruthlessness. Perhaps its owner had never thought of covering it up.

Orochimaru's sudden appearance surprised everyone present. Everyone's first reaction when they saw Orochimaru was surprisingly the same - their body was a little tight and their pupils were slightly contracted, which was nervous.

"I just think fate is so interesting. Orochimaru teacher." I shrugged casually.

"Qijun, you are right. Destiny is indeed very interesting." Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at me were a little playful and agreed.

Then Orochimaru nodded to the dozen men who came to wait for him as a greeting, and then turned his eyes to the door. The dozen guys seemed to have received great glory, and seemed to be in a state of great excitement.

Now I have the time to look at him carefully. Now Orochimaru is wearing Konoha's standard ninja suit, tights and green vest, and his forehead is protected. His figure is straight and he can't tell that he has suffered any injuries. The information said that he was seriously injured not long ago and had not healed. He just felt that he looked much more heroic when wearing this outfit than when wearing a kimono, and was not as delicate and feminine.

Ten minutes later, a large group of ninjas appeared at the entrance of the village. They were ninjas who came back with Orochimaru. They were dressed in rags, like soldiers who had defeated the battle, but they were all straight; although their faces were full of dust, they looked very clean and energetic.

When they saw this empty and quiet scene, they were involuntarily excited, and then they stepped down involuntarily, with deep disappointment on their faces. This disappointment turned into anger after a moment, and faces distorted by anger filled the faces of all the people who were greeting.

I saw Orochimaru's side face slightly raised, and he said in a hoarse and plain voice: "Everyone, I am very happy to fight with you, and I am even more happy to be able to return to the village alive with you. I am looking forward to working with you next time. I think what you need now should be information and rest. Okay, let's disband now." After that, he turned around and left, leaving a group of people with big eyes.

Fuqiu gave me a look to tell me to follow. I nodded to Fuqiu to show my understanding, and then followed, keeping it at the position of Orochimaru's side or so.

When Orochimaru and I walked to the corner, I took a look at the disappointed triumphal ninjas that had dispersed.

"Oh, you're back." The man with a tall body and a carefree voice rushed up and said to Orochimaru.

Behind him is a large group of people, including Sandian, Danzo, Tsunade and other bigwigs of Konoha.

"Well, my subordinates' injuries are not very serious. I have already asked them to disband." Orochimaru said casually, glanced at the expressions of the Konoha boss after hearing this. After hearing Orochimaru's words, everyone was suddenly aware, surprised, entertaining, and admiring, but more of them were still angry.

I suddenly understood in my heart that good means, Orochimaru is indeed a good means!

Originally, these big guys wanted to join forces to suppress Orochimaru and slash his face hard, but Orochimaru made a move. Now, in the eyes of all those who returned this time, Konoha's senior leaders are villains who favor one another and forget their interests, and are full of resistance to the senior leaders. When the people's hearts are dispersed, how can the team lead? Compared with those senior leaders, the commander who fought bloody battles with him and received the same cold reception is naturally much more credible and cute. Orochimaru is really powerful. He only came a little earlier, not only slapped the senior leaders loudly in the face, but also easily accepted the favor of a large group of teams. He was so beautiful that he turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain!

There was nothing to say next. It seemed that their mood was not suitable for greetings and chatting now. After just a few formulaic conversations, everyone dispersed. I continued to follow Orochimaru.

During this period, many people have turned their attention to me, as if they are looking at some precious animals, which makes me very upset.

"I haven't seen you for a while, Qijun, you have changed a lot." After slapping those big guys, Orochimaru looked in a good mood.

"Oh, change, what kind of changes?" It's hard to say if there is no scope, so I'm pushing it back.

"Every aspect has grown, beyond my expectations." The language is filled with an indescribable meaning.

"Oh, is that? That's what you should do. If you don't grow or make progress, you will have a dead end after you go to the battlefield."

"Then, Qijun, you hate war." The voice was a little playful.

"In fact, there is no saying that you hate or like. War itself is a part of ninja life. It's like eating and drinking water. It doesn't make any sense to talk about likes or hates them. If there is no war, I will feel quite depressed!" I said half-true.

"Hahaha, what an interesting remark, is this your growth in the war?!" After hearing my words, Orochimaru laughed loudly.

"That's right, if you have war, you will naturally have to face death. The experience of wandering between life and death will cleanse people's soul, soul, belief, and thoughts. The impurities in people's souls, souls, beliefs, and thoughts will be cleared out, and people will then become pure. We will be sublimated in this process. Those who cannot be sublimated will inevitably be eliminated by history." I continued to make remarks that echoed his psychology, and it felt a little strange, like a declaration of cults entering the church. However, a large part of them is indeed my feeling.

"Kijun, it's really interesting to talk to you. This is the first time I've discovered a person who is so similar to me." Orochimaru smiled happily.

I shrugged indifferently, while Orochimaru smiled even happier.

"What should I do if I practice in the future?" I asked directly.

"From tomorrow, you can come to me as long as I have time."
