Orochimaru's attack was exactly what Aokawa had expected.
The arm, composed of countless thin snakes, appeared to move so slowly.
This scene was all too familiar to Qingchuan.
It was exactly the same water that Itachi had released this morning.
The Orochimaru in front of them was merely a test.
That makes things easier...
Qingchuan didn't even bother to swing his sword!
She switched from holding the knife with both hands to one, extending two fingers of her free, slender hand just before the serpentine arm reached out...
Hado 11: Lightning Bolt!
It is a powerful Hakado among the beginner Kido.
This move also does not require chanting.
I was compensated for diligently grinding the Ghost Path proficiency twice a day, morning and evening.
A bolt of lightning struck directly at the countless thin snakes!
"Ninjutsu without hand seals?!"
Orochimaru's snake-like eyes narrowed.
In an instant, the snake's arm disintegrated, and the scattered, thin snake pieces were charred black!
"I've changed my mind, Mr. Orochimaru."
Withdrawing his fingers and resting them on Senbonzakura again, Aokawa felt much more relaxed.
"I want to get the answer."
"You're going to get two more cuts!"
Instant Step activated!
Aokawa's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Orochimaru!
The Thousand Cherry Blossoms in my hand gleamed with a cold light, and that chilling coldness that struck straight to the soul was so terrifying!
To deal with someone like Orochimaru.
Zanpakuto come with their own buffs.
Swish—
bite!
One side of the kunai blocked the view of the Senbonzakura.
Under the weight of the kunai, Orochimaru's gaze gradually softened.
That was the signal that he was putting away his toying with his prey.
"A young, innocent girl..."
His eyes held a hint of danger, and his tone was no longer playful.
At this moment, Orochimaru had already acknowledged the strength of the girl before him.
From a container, a preparatory container, a replacement, to a successor with an infinite future and threats.
bite!
Ding ding!
Orochimaru's response was once again Aokawa's sword.
no way.
With his current abilities, the only way for him to hurt Orochimaru is through the unique properties of the Senbonzakura Zanpakuto.
Even the strongest Hado technique he can unleash right now is nothing more than a high-level ninjutsu in Orochimaru's eyes.
Not to mention whether he could be given enough time to chant.
For Senbonzakura to inflict damage, close-quarters combat with her blade is the only way.
This will obviously give Orochimaru more opportunities to retaliate.
But Qingchuan had no other choice.
However.
Orochimaru's movements, from the initial Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, remained in a defensive stance.
The probing seems never to have stopped.
Ding ding ding!
Several more clashes occurred between the sword and the kunai.
Seizing the opportunity, Qingchuan activated his Instant Step again, escaping the battlefield.
Orochimaru did not pursue them.
He was still staring intently at Qingchuan, but seemed to be wary of something and dared not move an inch!
"Mr. Orochimaru, you really are a bit of a scoundrel..."
I adjusted my breathing.
Qingchuan's tone changed from indifference to playful.
This feigned ease and provocation almost made Orochimaru laugh!
If one weren't in the thick of it, the girl in front of him would sound remarkably similar to his silly, meatball-loving apprentice.
However, he usually ignores his apprentice's attempts to act cute.
Or just nod and get rid of them quickly.
But the girl in front of me...
Orochimaru couldn't muster any anger.
yes.
If this was the apprentice he initially took on.
So perhaps...
"That's really interesting."
Orochimaru gave his evaluation once again.
Doesn't she know who her opponent is?
He's Orochimaru!
Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!
That's incredibly bold...
My mood returned to cheerfulness.
Orochimaru withdrew his kunai and also suppressed his superfluous expression.
perhaps.
This girl is worth his time and careful guidance...
then.
Under Qingchuan's watchful gaze.
In the blink of an eye, Orochimaru transformed from a perverted scientist into a cool and handsome middle-aged man.
"Your talent is quite good; you've passed my test."
Orochimaru adjusted his tone, expression, and that damned aura.
At this moment, he is none other than Orochimaru, the Cold-blooded King, one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, a disciple of the current Hokage, and a phenomenal elite Jonin of Konoha!
"Although you're not old enough to start school, I'll help you apply for early enrollment."
"Remember, don't waste too much time there, graduate as soon as possible."
"At that time, I will personally guide your spiritual practice."
Orochimaru spoke slowly.
He looked exactly like a teacher instructing students.
Qingchuan's expression gradually became strange...
What kind of trouble is this guy up to now?
Is the intention to interpret everything that just happened as a test, and then force a reversal?
You're just trying to fool an idiot!
Qingchuan suddenly felt like he had met his match.
No match for swords and ninjutsu.
Rather, they are opponents who pretentiously deceive people...
This feeling was something he had never experienced before since he started dressing as a woman...
Damn it.
We've met someone who knows how to have fun!
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
Haruko simply slung the knife over her shoulder and smiled sweetly.
"Wait till I graduate, I'll kill you sooner or later!"
