[Hokage] Scales

I held Kunai in my backhand, bent my knees slightly, breathed the slowest, leaned my back against the wall and remained motionless, pretending that I was a part of the smooth stone wall.

The closed eyes couldn't block the bright light, the "vision" was white, and there was silence in the ears, as if there was no one else within a hundred meters.

Nerves tensed instantly, and muscles moved reflexively. I raised my hand and used kunai to block the hard object that was attacking me. With a fierce attack, I couldn't see anything, so I had to mobilize the sensory nerves all over my body and my ethereal intuition to dodge and resist.

The frequency of impetuous attacks suddenly became messy for a moment, I seized the opportunity to change from dodging and rushing forward, and Kuwuyi put the opponent's neck on the neck, and the voice of Orochimaru sounded at this moment.

"Okay, stop."

I let go as I said, and walked towards the sound source of Orochimaru. Before the battle started, he was standing at the entrance of the martial arts arena. Behind the entrance was a place that was too dazzling for me to reach.

According to past experience, he will not move his position during the battle, even what position he was in at the beginning, he is still in that position at the end, maybe it has been changed in the middle, but several times I deliberately pay attention to it during the battle and it has not changed.

After walking a few steps, I dodged to the left, the thing attacking me couldn't hold back, and hit the floor hard. I stabbed down hard while the opponent was still stuck, and the sharp tip of Kunai sank into the difference with the touch of human skin The huge hard skin, and because of his intention to withdraw, drew a long hole. As I gradually increased the downward force, I finally broke through the second layer of hard skin. After piercing, I continued to press down until it was nailed into the floor. .

Orochimaru smiled, I didn't hear the sound, and I didn't see it, after all, my eyes were still closed, but I just had the feeling that he just laughed.

Estimating the distance, I raised my foot and gave a roundabout kick, which hit the opponent's abdomen. Something splashed on my leg, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

I stepped a few more times on the place I kicked, and I kicked my twitching body on the ground. I couldn't help it, and I stood up and turned my head.

"Blue scales."

Orochimaru made a sound to point me, and I returned to the road interrupted by the assault, finally entered the shadows, opened my eyes and blinked.

Looking back at the person who just fought with me, he was still lying on the ground, he had just pulled up the Kunai that was pinning his thick dark brown scorpion tail and threw it aside, looking at me with a gloomy expression, the scorpion that had regained its freedom The tail stretched out section by section, erected high, spots of light swam on the carapace, and the crochet at the end of the tail shone with the luster of purple venom.

He stood up slowly, still locked his eyes on me, his tail was still raised high, like a scorpion's intimidating posture.

I ignored his provocation, my eyes shifted, and I met the golden pupil of Orochimaru.

"Go."

He nodded, and I walked back to the room through the passage that turned left and right and turned right and left.

The layout of the current room is similar to the previous one, with a bed, a glass water tank, and a toilet.

The size of the bed is slightly smaller than that of a double bed, and there are pillows and quilts that do not match; the water tank can lie two people side by side, leaning against the wall, and the faucet with only one knob protrudes from the wall, and the water outlet is above the water tank; the toilet It is the toilet, which is twice as spacious as the previous one.

I turned on the faucet, and the light blue liquid was gurgling, the sound of the slightly viscous water flow was a bit dull, and a layer of puddles formed at the bottom of the tank in a blink of an eye.

Let the water flow, I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom to wash off the dust and dirt on my body due to the battle. When I came out, the water tank happened to be [-]% full.

Turning off the tap, I sank into the now-familiar miraculous liquid, the gill openings on the side of my neck opened, gurgling out a series of bubbles, and soon fell asleep.

There are actually many secret laboratories of Orochimaru. Except for the Land of Water, which is not connected to other countries, there are all in the territory of the four major countries. I suspect that he just set up one when he was bored and had nothing to do on the way to the mission.

Some laboratories have simple functions, holding experimental subjects and doing research, just like the place where I was arrested and cut up and then made a little mess; some are basically small bases, in addition to the above two functions, there is also the production of experimental subjects. , storage room for strange items, playground for experimental subjects, etc., depending on what he needs, there will be more functions. There are relatively few of this type. inside.

He spends most of his time in the latter one near Konoha, and only stays in the former when he finds an interesting target—such as me at the beginning—usually the former is for a one-time use, and it is used for long-term tasks I guess pastime.

Small bases will have several long tunnels that extend to secluded places where there are people and human activities are not too frequent. I.

There are also some experimental subjects who come to Orochimaru voluntarily, and these experimental subjects fight with each other, and they are proud of being favored by Orochimaru. I don’t know their mentality very well, and I don’t know how they come to Orochimaru. What is the purpose? If it is to become stronger, if the people who come survive, almost no one will leave, and it is completely useless to show that they have become stronger.

They have one thing in common, they don't like me very much, I think it's because I'm Oshemaru's assistant, the person closest to him in daily life.

My work is very complicated, arranging the residence of the voluntary experimental subject, tying back the person who fell into the trap by mistake, passing a tool to perform ninjutsu when cutting the experimental subject in Orochimaru, being the experimental subject's partner to let him see the experimental results, and occasionally acting as an experiment Taste and drink some strange-colored medicine... Probably Orochimaru is trapped when he has only two hands, to be his other two hands, or to help him with trivial chores that waste his genius brain.

I don't need to cook. If I'm hungry, I can just make potions. I don't know how other people fill their stomachs. That's not my responsibility, and the experimental subjects have never asked me for food.

As for the broken right hand, I took it back on the day I returned to the base with him. Orochimaru seems to have some private goods, and there is a circle of silvery scales growing on the joint, but there is no effect other than the appearance. I don’t know if it was just a one-off Failed experiment.

Since I came, Orochimaru has been studying how to transplant the characteristics of animals into humans. He guessed without shame that it should be inspired by me. Ninjutsu, surgery and sealing techniques are multi-pronged.

When I was still the meat on the chopping board, he showed his hands that turned into snakes, but it was short-lived and not permanent. It was a kind of ninjutsu. I'm not sure whether Orochimaru's goal is to be able to change shape at will , and the man with the scorpion tail I hit, and those experimental subjects with various animal limbs earlier, some can turn back to a complete human form, and some can't.

Dragging the ninja who was knocked out by me and wearing the forehead protector with the logo of Hidden Sand Village, I opened the big cage and threw him in and locked him up. I wrote down the capture time, height, weight and other records on the note board hanging outside the cage.

There is a sealing array to suppress Chakra outside the cage. There are two empty cages in this room. Usually only one is used. There are very few opportunities to catch two or more in a short time. Orochimaru is very fierce with experimental products. But it's not like four people fell into the same trap. That time, they were ordinary people who organized a group to go hunting in the forest.

It’s time to take medicine again. In recent days, Orochiwan has asked me to drink the medicine on a daily basis. The color is very normal, as transparent as water, and there is no peculiar smell.

I pushed open the door of Orochimaru's room, which was dark and gloomy as usual.

His room was much larger than mine, and it was full of experimental equipment and bottles and cans. I went to the table where the medicine was usually placed, picked up the medicine and drank it. It was only when I was about to go out that I realized something was wrong.

In the corner farthest from the door was an unknown object curled up, like a coiled white giant snake. It was said that it was not as big as Orochimaru's psychic beast Ten Thousand Snakes. The snake's body was about the waist thickness of an adult.

I don't know which nerve was miswired, and I did something I would never do before - approach an unknown object.

Well... I didn't mention the car I originally booked
