Konoha Shenwu

Chapter 557 Metamorphosis
Early the next morning.

Orochimaru came to the training ground early, waiting for Hatake Sakumo's arrival.

"Morning."

Seeing Sakumo walking slowly, Orochimaru warmly greeted him.

"morning."

Sakumo responded indifferently, his eyes finally rested on Orochimaru's hand.

As if sensing Sakumo's gaze, Orochimaru hastily raised the dagger in his hand and explained, "Because I want to learn swordsmanship from you, I went back yesterday and went to the ninja shop in the village to buy one."

"Put it away."

Shuo Mo said lightly.

"Huh? Oh."

Orochimaru didn't understand why Sakumo asked him to put the knife away for a moment, but he traveled half of Konoha to buy this knife similar to Sakumo.But since Sakumo said it, Orochimaru put it away directly.

"Give you."

After Orochimaru put away the dagger, suddenly Sakumo's voice came, and then an object flew directly towards Orochimaru. Facing the flying unknown object, Orochi subconsciously reached out to catch it, and saw that his hand was obviously used for a long time The wooden sword Orochimaru couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"This is?"

"It's easy to hurt yourself if you use a sharp blade at the beginning of practice. This wooden knife is what I used for practice, so I give it to you. You use it to practice and wait until you get started, and then replace it with the knife you bought."

Shuo Mo said calmly.

Hearing Sakumo's words, Oshemaru suddenly felt a strange feeling in his chest, which he hadn't felt for a long time since his parents passed away.

"Ah."

Orochimaru nodded heavily with a smile.

"Shoot decisively, and absolutely seize every opportunity in a fight. For a swordsman, every moment is enough to tell the winner."

"The sword should be faster. You have to make your sword faster than the enemy's kunai, faster than the enemy's ninjutsu, and even faster than the enemy's instant body and double."

"Every time you make a knife, remember to leave a little room for turning around. Otherwise, when you haven't thoroughly analyzed the enemy's intelligence just after the break, you may be calculated by the enemy if you don't leave any room."

"Okay, let's come here today."

Looking at the sweaty Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo said calmly, the guy in front of him is indeed a genius, and he has already started in just half a day.

"Okay, Brother Shuo Mo."

one year later.

"Brother Shuo Mao, I'm graduating tomorrow."

After finishing today's training, Orochimaru said to Hatake Sakumo expectantly.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon, even you are going to graduate. By the way, I heard that the third generation of adults will accept you as an apprentice. After learning ninjutsu, don't give up swordsmanship so easily."

Sakumo said to Orochimaru with a rare smile.

Hearing Sakumo's words, Orochimaru was a little disappointed. What he wanted to hear was not this, he wanted to hear that it was Brother Sakumo who came to see his graduation ceremony.

"correct."

Following Sakumo's sudden opening, Orochimaru's eyes lit up again.

"I have a task tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to attend your graduation party."

Hearing Sakumo's words, the light in Orochimaru's eyes slowly faded away.

"But I can give you a gift in advance."

Saying that, Sakumo took out a camera from the bag not far away, smiled and said to Orochimaru: "Let's take a group photo."

"It turns out that Brother Shuo Mao has already planned it. I am still curious why Brother Shuo Mao suddenly brought a backpack in the morning."

Orochimaru smiled brightly.

Click!

With the sound of the shutter being pressed, a picture slowly appeared.

On it are two teenagers with exceptionally bright smiles.

"Hey, Oshemaru-sama, what is this wooden knife in your room for? Is it possible that Oshemaru-sama is the same as a child? Nana."

"A Fei, don't rummage around if you have nothing to do. You still have a wooden knife? What. Wooden knife!"

Orochimaru, who was doing the experiment, heard the words of A Fei who suddenly appeared from the side, and said without raising his head, but when A Fei said the wooden knife, Orochimaru's hand stopped obviously, and then saw the words that made him In the scene of being furious, I saw Ah Fei waving his treasured wooden knife in the air.

Orochimaru stretched out his modified arm without saying a word and took the wooden knife back.

"Yeah, Oshemaru-sama is really stingy. Heijue, tell me. Oh, it's over, Heijue is dead."

Ah Fei, whose wooden knife was taken from his hand, said in a strange way.

"Go and play with Kaguya, she has the latest games and snacks."

"Well, it's really boring. Kaguya is so good at playing games. If I don't have enough snacks, I can reluctantly give her some advice."

Ah Fei, who couldn't pass the first ten levels again and again, said boldly.

Looking at A Fei who left, Orochimaru couldn't help but shook his head. It was really a nt decision to bring this guy back at that time, but when he saw the wooden knife baptized by the years, Orochimaru's thoughts flew out.

Dim battle camp.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who are just showing their talents in the ninja world, all gathered here.

Tsunade hurried over, his clothes were drenched, he was panting heavily, he seemed to want to enter a certain room, but he was stopped by Jiraiya.

Orochimaru's face was calm, but the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

The torrential rain just fell directly on the three of them.

"Tsunade, it's better not to go in and have a look." Jiraiya whispered.

Orochimaru sneered and said, "What's the matter, anyway, I can't recognize him as my younger brother."

"Oshemaru! Just don't say a few words, the matter is already like this!" Ziraiya shouted in a low voice.

"The corpse has long been beyond recognition. What I see now is just a rearranged appearance. What's more, it was directly hit by an explosion of that scale. Even if you are present, it cannot be treated, Tsunade."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade coldly, his voice seemed a little cold.

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Tsunade immediately took a step back and fell to sit on the ground, staring at the tent behind Jiraiya with wide eyes, unable to speak.

Seeing Tsunade's appearance, Orochimaru stretched his right hand into his arms, took out a green pendant, and said in a low voice: "It's just that children are really overexcited, especially a child who just received a birthday gift the next day .”

Orochimaru handed the pendant to Tsunade, and then left.

It was still raining heavily outside, but Orochimaru didn't care at all.

He raised his head slightly, and the rain drenched his face.

There seemed to be drops of water falling from the corners of the eyes.

I just don't know if it's tears or rain.

Nawaki, he is not only Tsunade's younger brother, but also Orochimaru's first disciple.

Orochimaru loves this talented disciple very much.

But now, such a person died so aggrieved.

"Life is really fragile."

"Orochimaru."

Suddenly there was a shout from someone, and Orochimaru turned his head to look.

In the rain, a man with a dagger on his back slowly appeared.

The rain drenched Orochimaru's long hair. He lowered his head and stared at the ground. The rainwater kept slipping from the tip of his hair and pouring into the ground.

"Sakumo... What is the meaning of a ninja? Is such a sacrifice really necessary? Is life really so fragile?"

"Sakumo, I will definitely create that ninjutsu that can bring the dead back to life, definitely!"

"Then let's go."

Hearing Sakumo's words of encouragement, Orochimaru suddenly raised his head and found that Sakumo was looking at him seriously.

"Ah."

Orochimaru nodded slightly.
