[Naruto] Once in ten years (Orochimaru)

In the early morning of the next day, Qian Yehan struggled to sit up from the bed. She patted her face, turned off the alarm clock that was still screaming beside her, and got up to wash up with two big dark circles under her eyes. The book that Orochimaru gave her yesterday had so much content that even if she tried all her strength, it would be impossible to finish reading it before the normal bedtime. Orochimaru seemed to understand very well, and he rushed Qian Yehan to the previous place after dinner. In the empty house where Narita-kun and Sasuke lived, and before Yuzai went back, he asked her to show up at the door on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

In order to go to bed early, Qian Yehan had already used his brainpower to 200%. Finally, when the sky was dim, he took a deep breath, closed the book as if he was relieved, and then collapsed without even bothering to wash up. She fell on the bed. After only sleeping for about two or three hours, she was woken up by the alarm clock. She felt her brain hurt as if it was about to explode. She was still a little dizzy before walking into the bathroom, and her forehead clicked accidentally. The ground hit the door frame.

"You're ten minutes late." When Qian Yehan appeared in front of Orochimaru's door, he saw that he had packed everything and was sitting there waiting for her. When he saw her coming in, he glanced at the big bump on her forehead, and then slowly He stood up, motioned for her to follow him, and walked towards the basement.

Orochimaru walked into the formation, turned around and said to Qian Yehan: "Let them go out through the window, and then gather at the foot of the mountain col that we passed when we came here in the west."

Qian Yehan nodded and began to form seals with one hand. Suddenly, blue light filled her pupils. She slowly scanned everyone's eyes and gave orders in a deep tone.

When everyone walked out of the basement one after another and walked to the indoor window, Qian Yehan had already followed Orochimaru out of the house, locked the door, and handed all the keys to the two rooms to the front desk. The weather is very good today. Although the early morning breeze is slightly chilly, the warm sunlight shining on the body is enough to offset the occasional coldness and even add a bit of warmth. Such warm weather makes people who already suffer from sleep problems The weak Qian Yehan found it even harder to resist sleepiness. She stared at Orochimaru's back in front of her, constantly reminding herself to stay awake.

"How did you like the book I gave you yesterday?" Orochimaru suddenly asked on the way.

Chino Han was in a trance from time to time due to sleepiness. He was surprised when he heard this question. He quickly came to his senses, took out the book from his pocket and handed it back to Orochimaru. At the same time, he replied: "Although I haven't fully understood the book yet." Of the content in it, I can almost memorize it."

Orochimaru took the book and casually asked Chinohan a few paragraphs about the contents of the book. Chinohan could basically answer it well. Some proper nouns were very unfamiliar, and she could stumble out word by word, but Generally speaking, although the accuracy rate is not low, it can also be heard that it is mostly memorized by rote.

"Although it's a bit unsatisfactory, but since you can memorize it all, it's pretty good." Orochimaru's words couldn't help but make Qian Yehan feel relieved and secretly relieved.

The return journey was much easier than the journey here. Since the sparse crowd following behind were basically ordinary people and could only move on the ground, Qian Yehan didn't have to expend too much effort on the road. It would be better to say, She even felt a sense of leisure.

Qian Yehan himself naturally felt that such a speed could not be better, but...where is Orochimaru? She couldn't help but look in the direction of Orochimaru. There was still Narita-kun's matters that needed to be dealt with in the base. Is he going to go back slowly at this speed and spend nearly two days? She opened her mouth to ask a question, then something suddenly occurred to her, and then she closed it slowly and quietly. If... Orochimaru leaves first, leaving aside the experimental subjects behind him, it can be said that she is the only one left... Then... wouldn't she have such an opportunity as soon as Orochimaru leaves? …

Thinking of this, her heartbeat couldn't help but begin to accelerate. After a while, she tried to calm down her mind, and in a very casual tone, she tentatively asked: "Lord Orochimaru, do you think this speed is okay?"

Orochimaru slowly turned around and did not answer Qian Yehan's question, but immediately asked after hearing this: "Don't you think this speed is allowed?"

Qian Yehan was stunned and didn't answer the question for a moment. Then she smiled, gave up all the meanderings, and responded directly: "I'm afraid that you have something to do and rush back to the base to do it. This speed is indeed a bit slow in comparison.”

"Well... you're right." Orochimaru pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Qian Yehan's heart began to beat violently. She even felt that her heart had jumped to her throat and was pounding her throat. However, although she was anxious, she would never dare to speak rashly. She was afraid that Orochimaru would find out if she gave any advice, so she had no choice but to pretend to be careless, look away, and look around to admire the same scenery everywhere.

After a period of silence, Orochimaru slowed down and walked to Qian Yehan's side, his tone was very calm: "In that case, I will go back first, and I will leave this place to you, can you reassure me?"

Hearing this, Qian Yehan was ecstatic, but she didn't dare to show it at all. She turned her eyes back to answer, and suddenly she saw Orochimaru looking at her meaningfully, his eyes were calm, and there was no trace of sadness or joy, but although his eyes were bright, It was not fascinating, but the moment their eyes met, she felt that those golden eyes were like invisible sharp blades, inexorably penetrating into the bottom of her heart. In an instant, it was as if she was naked from top to bottom, and her eyes were penetrated from the inside. Being examined by him in the field, her lips trembled, and for a moment she was so suppressed that she couldn't make a sound. As time passed, she slowly lowered her eyes and summoned up the courage to say: "You can rest assured. I will definitely take them to arrive safely."

Orochimaru looked at Qian Yehan quietly for a while, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay, I'll leave it to you from now on. Before I leave, I will leave a shadow clone with you. "

Hearing this, Qian Yehan subconsciously asked: "Shadow clone?" As soon as he said the words, he realized that this was too inappropriate a response, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, you should have a shadow clone, after all, everyone I don’t have much fighting ability, so if someone comes to cause trouble, my subordinates still can’t handle it.”

While speaking, Orochimaru was seen quickly forming seals. After the sudden white smoke dissipated, another Orochimaru appeared in front of Qianyehan. Orochimaru glanced at his clone, and then said to Qianyehan: "My shadow The clone is an entity and has inherited half of my chakra. No matter what happens to you along the way, I think he should be able to solve it." After speaking, he added an unrelated sentence seemingly unintentionally: "As long as My shadow clone disappears, and all his previous memories will be received by me at the moment of disappearance."

Orochimaru's departure did not bring joy to Chinohan, but made her even more entangled. Orochimaru's seemingly unintentional words were obviously telling her that if he defeated his clone, he would know it instantly. In this case, the method of defeating the clone head-on would not work. She could not let Orochimaru know about the veins of her corpse. thing, but without the use of corpse veins, she would be helpless against this clone with half of Orochimaru's chakra, how could she control him? That was a clone. She didn't know what would happen if she controlled the clone. She didn't dare to take the risk. Then... She subconsciously set her sights on the jounin Horibe Ryuichi in Sand Ninja Village. Could she control Horibe Ryuichi from behind? What about knocking him down with one blow? Even if he was discovered, it could only be thought that the Jonin suddenly woke up and wanted to escape. As for Chinohan, she died or disappeared after the battle with Horibe Ryuichi. It was none of her business.

The more Chinohan thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. She took advantage of her meal and rest in the evening to sneak up to Horibe Ryuichi who was unconscious, sniffed his breath, and touched his chest and back, thinking He knew that Orochimaru had used some method to make him fall asleep.

"What are you doing?" The sudden appearance of Orochimaru's voice made Chinohan wake up from a dream. She stood up slowly. She looked back at Orochimaru's clone, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

"Orochimaru...sir..." She felt it was ridiculous to be so respectful to a clone, but then she thought that after the clone disappeared, Orochimaru would also know everything that happened now, so she felt a little relieved, and she couldn't help but speak. Be more careful: "My subordinates are afraid that he will wake up suddenly and it will be detrimental to everyone, so I want to check from time to time to see if he is pretending to sleep."

"Oh, no," the clone turned around and sat back, his movements the same as those of the real Orochimaru: "To be on the safe side, I placed three seals in his mind. Unless I lift the seal, he will not He's awake, and..." The clone's golden eyes looked at Qian Yehan, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that he is awake, I have put a seal on his heart before, and he used It doesn’t produce chakra.”

While Qian Yehan listened, her heart gradually cooled down. In this case, Horibe Ryuichi's side was not feasible, so... was there any other way she could go? She walked back to the fire in the center of the clearing and sat down, taking the food baked for her by others, and sighed. While eating, she recalled what Orochimaru's clone had just said to her, and she suddenly felt something was wrong. In fact, he only had to tell her that Horibe Ryuichi would not wake up. With Orochimaru's temperament, it was unnecessary. She would never waste any more time, but why did he tell her such a detailed matter? Thinking about her joints, her heart suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Orochimaru's clone, but she didn't expect that clone to be looking at her as well. Their eyes met unexpectedly, Qian Yehan was startled, and wanted to look away the next second. But he was afraid that moving away rashly would make him feel guilty, so after a few seconds of silence, he smiled at the person and said, "Are you eating?"

The clone leaned against the tree and crossed his arms. Seeing Qian Yehan looking over with a smile, he responded: "I don't need to eat."

This made Qian Yehan a little curious, and she asked doubtfully: "So...are you and Lord Orochimaru the same person?"

"Yes, and no." The clone slowly walked towards Qian Yehan: "I know everything about the original body, and naturally, I also know everything about you. I have a similar way of thinking to the original body, but it is not exactly the same. For example... now ," At this moment, he had walked in front of Qian Yehan, squatted down, and slowly lifted Qian Yehan's chin, "I know what you have in mind, do you still want to use Horibe Ryuichi to restrict me? But I am different from the original body. , I won’t tell you clearly even if I know it, I tell you clearly, I can see it, and I hope you won’t make unnecessary struggles. The result of doing so is not only something I don’t want to see, but you also don’t want to see it.”

Qian Yehan stared blankly at the clone in front of her, feeling extremely shocked. She never expected that this clone could actually see her intentions just based on her behavior towards Horibe Ryuichi? No, it was impossible for him to see it. After a moment, Qian Yehan immediately calmed down. His previous behavior was completely incompatible with the rules. Although this matter was true, it could only be a guess now. He had no ability at all. The evidence that gave him a handle, this clone might just be warning her.

Since she didn't carry out anything related to escape, she didn't need to worry about him. Qianyehan took a deep breath, glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "How dare you frame me like this. Indeed, I really want to be free, but I My love for Lord Orochimaru is real, and it is also true that I want to send these experimental subjects back to him safely. Do you want to convict me just based on your own imagination? I just want to tell Lord Orochimaru that I Why? You are not him, you are just like him, so I'm sorry, I don't love you, and I don't want to give you a good look, so I won't be with you anymore." After saying that, she stood up and patted the dirt on her body. , leaving the fire, she saw from the corner of her eye that the clone got up and then walked back to the tree where he was standing, closing his eyes to rest. Seeing that he didn't bother much, Qian Yehan breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way after that, Qian Yehan really didn't think about escaping again. She had already thought that since the clone guessed that she would escape, it meant that Orochimaru had also thought of it, so he passed this awareness to the clone. Since If this was the case, she was neither capable nor felt the need to fight against something that the other party had already thought of and perhaps had taken precautions against. Therefore, she readily gave up such thoughts during the rest of the trip.

After the last time, the clone did not do anything because of Qian Yehan's rude words. His attitude towards her was still lukewarm, and he did not say a few words to her. Qian Yehan regarded this clone as his does not exist. When she has nothing to do, she likes to randomly pick up someone to chat with. Although she always answers whatever is asked, it is still better than having no one to talk to.

During this period of chatting, Qian Yehan really got some unexpected gains. The female ninja from Suna Ninja Village was a medical ninja named Natsuki. She had a crush on her teacher and teammate Horibe Ryuichi for a long time. Ahem. , but this is not really the case. The real unexpected gain is that she asked Natsuki to teach her the control method of Palm Immortal Technique step by step. She found that through the explanation of Natsuki, a professional medical ninja, she gradually seemed to have grasped it. Although the degree of healing in these methods is still negligible, she believes that as long as she practices more, she will definitely make a breakthrough.

Two days passed quickly or not. When Qian Yehan saw the big stone hiding the entrance to the base in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he felt relieved or felt more worried. Orochimaru's clone opened the door of the base with ease, and everyone filed in. She walked at the end, and when she saw everyone's backs disappearing into the darkness, a hint of sadness suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Why don't you go down?" Suddenly a voice appeared from behind.

Qian Yehan didn't turn around. She slowly opened her mouth and said quietly: "After I go down, I don't know when I can come out." She paused and her tone was a little lonely: "Actually...it has been so long that I am not afraid of the dark anymore, but occasionally You still feel a little depressed." She turned back slightly: "Have you not disappeared yet?"

The clone was silent for a long time and said calmly: "You never said these words."

Hearing this, Qian Yehan smiled slightly: "I don't dare to say it when facing Lord Orochimaru. It feels like I'm complaining about something, so...if it's not troublesome, I'll ask you to do it for me. But to be honest, you There is actually no point in telling him or not. After all, since you are worried that I will run away, it means that Orochimaru-sama thinks so too. How about you disappear later and stay here with me? Anyway, you are not Orochimaru. Maru-sama, you’re not very busy.”
