Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 34 Exams, Trivia

Training Course.

Hongdou stood opposite Lu Nie with her hands on her hips, looking very proud, and said with her head held high: "Lu Nie, I will definitely win this time!"

"Can I admit defeat?" Lu Nie raised a hand weakly.

"Of course not!" Hongdou rejected Luna's request to admit defeat. Her eyes kept scanning Orochimaru outside the training ground eagerly.

"Let's start. There is one more thing I need to tell you about you later." Orochimaru, who was wearing a ninja vest, nodded.

With Orochimaru's permission, Red Bean immediately formed the Seal of Opposition, and without waiting for Kagawa's response, she threw out several shurikens that made whistling sounds in the air.

"Who do you think will win between Red Bean and Kane, Shisui?" Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Shisui beside him and asked softly.

"Lu Nie." Shisui said with a smile.

"caught you!"

The battle on the field entered an extremely intense stage in a short time. Hongdou was almost dancing, stomping the ground with her feet at a high frequency, and quickly turning and moving to attack Lu Nie.

As a teammate, she knew very well that the best way to deal with Lu Nie was to keep a distance and use long-range ninjutsu to attack and suppress him. However, this method had been clearly proven in previous battles that it did not work against Lu Nie.

At least when the opponent is her, it doesn't work on Lu Nie!
She didn't have many long-range ninjutsu, and the only one she could really show off was the Dragon Fire Jutsu. Facing Lu Ni, this jutsu could only compete with Lu Ni in chakra consumption.

On the contrary, she is better at close combat and has a higher chance of winning.

The only thing she had to be careful about was not to step on Lu Nie's shadow. As long as she moved fast enough, Lu Nie's shadow would have a hard time catching her.

"It's time to decide the winner!"

Shisui's Sharingan was fixed on Shikagawa on the field. He could see that the chakra in Shikagawa's body was rapidly gathering and then exploding.

What appeared next was that Lu Nie's shadow was suddenly split into a dozen tentacle-like lines, covering Hongdou from all directions like a big net.

The black shadow even left the ground and turned into a black rope like a real entity, tightly wrapping Hongdou's limbs together.

"Damn it!" Hongdou, who was bound by this sudden change, suddenly turned red in the face, but her body was bound tightly by the shadow and she couldn't break free.

"What is that?" It was also the first time that Shisui saw Luna use this kind of shadow secret technique. Although he was not very old, as a member of the Uchiha clan, he had a deep understanding of the basics of ninja and ninjutsu since childhood. With the insight and assistance of the Sharingan, he was able to understand the difficulty of this technique.

"Shadow Seam Technique. It's a secret technique of the Nara clan that can materialize shadows to attack and capture enemies. It has a short activation time and a long duration." Orochimaru explained to Shisui.

Shisui looked at the two people who had won the match in amazement. He was not like some Uchiha in the ordinary clan, who looked down on any other clans and bloodlines except the former Senju.

After joining Orochimaru's team, he realized a wider world in many aspects.

For example, Shisui couldn't see through Luna. According to his chakra and the strength he showed in training, he should be stronger than Luna now, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that if it was really a life-and-death fight, the one who could survive might not be him, who was stronger. Although this voice had no reason.

"Okay. Today's training ends here. Next, I want to tell you something very important." Orochimaru said as he watched Red Bean reluctantly complete the seal of reconciliation with Luna.

"Red Bean and Shisui have graduated from the Ninja Academy for more than a year, and have accumulated a lot of mission experience, so I recommend you to participate in this Chunin Exam."

"Chūnin Exam?" Shisui and Anko both looked up at Orochimaru.

"This time the exam is hosted by Konoha, so I have time to recommend you. If it were hosted by other villages, you would have to change a team leader if you wanted to participate." Orochimaru said.

He is currently immersed in the development and research of technology, and constantly summoning some assistants and materials that he likes from his external base. There is no time to waste.

"Luo Nie hasn't graduated from the Ninja School yet, so he's not even a Genin, right?" Hongdou suddenly leaned over and stared at Lu Nie, who was a head shorter than her, and poked his forehead with a sly smile.

"Don't worry about that. If you participate, I can ask the Ninja School to arrange an exam for you to obtain the status of Genin." Orochimaru said.

With the knowledge and chakra foundation that Lu Nie has mastered, it is not difficult to pass the graduation examination. With Orochimaru's endorsement, there is no need to maintain six years of schooling before taking the exam.

"I have no problem." Although Lu Nie felt it was troublesome, he did not object.

"Then get ready, I will recommend the three of you." Seeing that no one among Lu Nie and the other two raised any objections, Orochimaru nodded.

In fact, Orochimaru did not take this Chunin Exam seriously. If necessary, he could arrange an internal promotion exam for Luna and the other two. It was just that this time he was forced to join the army by his own teacher.

……

"Hiruzen, you should take care of Orochimaru!"

Inside the Hokage's office, Danzo and the two Hokage advisors looked sullenly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on a chair across from them, puffing out smoke and looking worried.

Danzo tapped the ground fiercely with his cane and said coldly: "Orochimaru's research on strengthening the Uchiha must be stopped! All the pills that have been circulated must be recovered! The Uchiha who have used the pills must also be supervised and reprimanded!"

"This is impossible!" Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and rejected Danzo's proposal.

"Don't forget what the second generation said about the Uchiha clan! This is a troublesome clan! Having power will give rise to some thoughts that they shouldn't have!" Danzo refuted Sarutobi Hiruzen's words in a stern tone and reiterated his demand forcefully.

"The Uchiha really shouldn't be empowered! Suppressing the Uchiha was the strategy set by the Second Generation. Orochimaru didn't do a good job in this matter." Utane Koharu echoed and mentioned the late teacher Tobirama Senju.

"Hiruzen, we three are not forcing you, but the Uchiha is too uncontrollable. Once we lose control, we will suffer great losses." Mito Kado En's voice was very gentle, persuading the third generation. "The Uchiha provided more than half of the funding for the Technology Development Bureau." Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed on his pipe, his face hidden in the rising smoke.

"It's all for the village. I believe Orochimaru can understand." Danzo said.

"We can try to get him to cooperate with other ninja clans." Utane Koharu made a suggestion.

"Which ninja clan is willing to offer so much money as the Uchiha? The Hyuga? What do they need from the technical development department?" Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Utane Koharu.

"But strengthening the Uchiha will ultimately have hidden dangers," Mizuto Menen reminded.

"Why not hand over the technology to the Root, and I will talk to the Uchiha." In the silence, Danzo suddenly spoke, "Even if the Uchiha have any dissatisfaction, let them come to me."

"Go talk to Orochimaru yourself." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied sullenly.

Danzo and Mito Kado En looked at each other, and stopped surrounding Sarutobi Hiruzen, but left at the same time tacitly. They came this time without expecting to get an accurate and affirmative answer from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't refuse and keeps an ambiguous attitude, it's enough for them.

The three of them knew the character of the Third Hokage too well. He was no longer the vigorous and resolute ninja hero he used to be. Unless he was clearly forbidden, Danzo would dare to do things under the banner of the Hokage.

……

Following Orochimaru through the dark underground corridor, they finally came to an underground storage room filled with coffins. Looking at the frozen coffins, Lu Nie subconsciously looked up at Orochimaru.

"these are?"

"Corpses." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and answered Luna softly. "They are all ninjas with special skills or some kind of bloodline limit."

When Lu Nie heard this, he suddenly understood.

In addition to being the headmaster of a kindergarten, Orochimaru is also known as a corpse snatcher. Of course, the latter was eventually made more famous by Kabuto Yakushi.

"Don't you want to study bloodline limits? There are a lot of materials here, although they are all inanimate objects." Orochimaru took Kagome and walked between the ice coffins, introducing them to him one by one.

Dissolve and escape.

Boiling escape.

Steel Escape.

The Uzumaki clan.

Uchiha family.

Hyuga clan.

Of course, the corpses of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans had empty eye sockets.

"That was a branch of the Hyuga clan. His eyes were destroyed by a sealing technique. But he was very strong in physical skills when he was alive, and his body has certain research value."

Seeing that Luna was interested in the corpses of the Hyuga clan, Orochimaru introduced them. For Orochimaru, living materials are always scarce, and as for materials that have become dead, only Hashirama's cells or other powerful bloodline limits can make him want to study.

"You can study and use the corpses here at will. You should know that the corpses of ninjas also contain a lot of useful information." Orochimaru said to Shikagawa.

Lu Nie nodded vigorously.

"Also, you have to be careful. Although the shadow clone can allow one to multitask and do multiple things at the same time, using this method for a long time will put a great mental and physical burden on a person.

In severe cases, it can even destroy a person's will. Don't test your own limits. You still have a long time to grow, Lu Nie!" Orochimaru reminded Lu Nie at the end.

It has become a routine for Lu Nie's three shadow clones to handle multiple things and learn at the same time. Seeing that Lu Nie's complexion is getting worse and worse, Orochimaru is also worried that Lu Nie's spirit will collapse under the pressure of ninjutsu.

"I will take care of my body." The shadow under Lu Nie's feet extended out, bound the two ice coffins, and took them away from the ice storage while saying.

Orochimaru nodded upon hearing this and didn't say anything else.

It is well known that the Nara clan is the best in Konoha in terms of health care. After all, their physical fitness is not very good under the pressure of Yin Dun secret technique. As the saying goes, long-term illness makes a doctor. Every member of the Nara clan is a medicine jar, and a medicine jar with a future to be determined.

With Tsunade's instruction, Luna, who was proficient in pharmacology and medical ninjutsu, really didn't need to worry about him in this regard. Orochimaru was just reminding him when he saw that his spirit was becoming increasingly sluggish.

"After some time, you can go visit Minato." Orochimaru ignored the two ice coffins behind Lu Nie, "You want to systematically learn advanced sealing techniques, and there are only a few people in the village who can teach you.

Old man, Jiraiya's disciple Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina of the Uzumaki clan. I have already greeted Jiraiya, and after he communicated with Minato, Minato is willing to teach you the sealing technique. "

Orochimaru has mastered the art of sealing, and his attainments in the art of sealing are not low, otherwise he would not have been able to develop the immortal art of curse seal. However, everyone has their own expertise, and when it comes to advanced sealing techniques, the Uzumaki clan, who rely on sealing techniques, cannot be avoided.

Orochimaru had already laid a certain foundation of knowledge of sealing techniques for Shikagawa, and only after confirming that Shikagawa was not without talent in this area did he open his mouth to Jiraiya.

Anyway, I have already asked Tsunade once, so it doesn’t matter if I ask Jiraiya again.
