Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Konoha Village.

An old mansion.

Under the quiet night sky.

The bright moonlight spilled across the ground.

Orochimaru sat quietly on a futon, dressed in a white kimono with his chest exposed, his mind immersed in the cultivation of his soul.

Ever since Qing pointed out the flaw that the Reincarnation of the Corpse would damage the soul, he has been spending two hours every night without fail cultivating his soul after splitting his soul.

To heal the wounds torn from the soul by forbidden magic.

The effect is obvious.

At least now the location where his soul was torn will no longer ache while he sleeps.

The faint, rustling sounds around him did not affect Orochimaru's training.

He carried out each step with focus and seriousness.

It's like conducting a study.

suddenly.

A noise came from the courtyard gate.

Then Orochimaru heard the commotion of more than ten people and surrounded the entire courtyard.

Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes, his vertical pupils emitting a pale yellow glow in the darkness.

"Teacher...you've come, and with such a grand entourage...are you too old to walk? Why do you need so many people to come with you..."

Orochimaru chuckled softly, casually picked up two teacups in front of him, placed them in front of him, and poured two cups of tea.

"I don't have enough tea for so many of you..."

There was only one pot of tea in the teapot.

It's only enough to entertain one person.

"Orochimaru, come back with me!"

"If you leave with me, I can cover up everything you've done in the past and forgive you for it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in a black combat suit, pushed open the wooden door, walked up to Orochimaru, and looked down at him, saying...

"Teacher, do you think I'll go back with you? You know... I have absolutely no interest in village affairs, otherwise... Minato Namikaze wouldn't have been the one to succeed me."

Orochimaru pushed a cup of tea towards them and revealed his true feelings.

I hope the teacher can understand.

They are pursuing different things.

"Have some water, teacher... This might be the last time I call you that in the village."

The tea had cooled down slightly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, bent down to pick up the tea from the coffee table, and took a small sip.

The tea flavor is very strong.

Slightly bitter.

It doesn't smell good.

"How long has it been since you last brewed tea? You can't even control the water temperature anymore."

"That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi commented."

He gripped the rim of the teacup with his fingers, his knuckles turning white.

Orochimaru picked up the teacup, examined it carefully for a few moments, and said with a deep gaze, "Master, you're late, and as you know, I don't like making tea..."

"I only learned how to brew this tea after one of my disciples brewed it for me."

"Disciple? Red Bean... she doesn't know how to make tea, does she?"

"The other new recruit, named Qing, told me..."

"Tea... as long as it can refresh you, that's fine. Spending time learning about it is just a waste of precious time."

"These trivial matters can all be left to him to handle. As for me, I can just focus on doing what I love."

At this point, Orochimaru's face broke into a smile.

"You value this disciple highly!"

"Does he really deserve your attention?"

"Red Bean told me that it was he who persuaded you to do those experiments..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that Orochimaru was very unfamiliar at this moment, as if Orochimaru had never smiled since Nawaki died.

He hadn't seen such a smile on this disciple's face in a long time.

A sense of curiosity arose within me about the grand-disciple Orochimaru had mentioned.

"teacher."

"That's what I want to do, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"In my opinion, you still love meddling in other people's business, interfering with their thoughts, and imposing your own will on them... You're almost dead... Stop worrying so much and hand over the Hokage position to a younger person!"

"That way, you can live for at least a few more years."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he paused for a moment, his gaze falling on his teacher's aged face and graying temples.

Time, without anyone noticing, quietly etched its marks on his face.

Although the teacher covered it up very well.

However, he could still clearly sense that his teacher's breathing was somewhat unstable.

Their strength has also begun to decline gradually.

My body is becoming weak and powerless.

teacher.

I'm getting old.

Death is not far away.

"Death is not the end, Orochimaru! As long as what you do is meaningful, even death is not scary."

"If living means hurting important people or jeopardizing the safety of the village, then I'd rather die now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his teacup and said in a threatening tone.

He was trying to awaken in Orochimaru the last bit of his loyalty to Konoha.

"Come with me! Stop your research, hand over all your findings, and the village will give you a decent living."

This is the greatest sincerity he can offer.

He risked being impeached for his position as Hokage and suffering criticism from the village.

He also wanted to give this disciple a chance.

"It's too late, teacher..."

Orochimaru drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, a bitter taste rising into his throat.

I don't know if it's the bitterness of the tea or the bitterness of my heart.

"There's no going back now!"

With Uchiha Ao's reminder, he had already made thorough preparations.

Just before leaving.

Say goodbye to your teacher properly!

Snapped!

The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the table, his gentle demeanor vanishing, replaced by a ferocious and ruthless expression.

If negotiations fail, then we'll have no choice but to use force to capture Orochimaru and bring him back!

Bang!

The teacup shattered on the ground.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has not yet made a statement.

Orochimaru took the initiative, suddenly raising his arms and forming hand seals with his hands hidden in his sleeves.

"The Shadow Serpent has many hands!"

In an instant, the coffee table shattered, and more than a dozen venomous snakes swarmed out from Orochimaru's sleeves, heading straight for Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

"Earth Release: Earth Formation Wall!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was prepared; the moment the swarm of snakes arrived, an earthen wall appeared in front of him.

Then he waved his hand.

"Summoning Technique: Monkey Demon!"

White smoke exploded from the ground, and a black shadow emerged from the smoke, instantly transforming into a black iron rod that fell into Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

Hiruzen Sarutobi swept his hand across the screen.

The swarm of snakes that swept out from all directions was instantly crushed into mud by the black iron rod in his hand.

Orochimaru's body was also crushed.

However, the moment the minced meat scattered, it suddenly burst into thin pieces of snakeskin.

molt?

Wow, that's fast!

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, a sense of foreboding rising within him. He turned and rushed out of the room, noticing Orochimaru's figure emerging from a corner of the courtyard.

"Sarutobi... why did you attack Orochimaru!?"

The ape demon, still confused, asked in surprise.

"You two haven't sparred in over ten years, have you? You're both so old, why are you still testing your disciple's fighting skills? Or are you finally planning to hand over the Hokage position to Orochimaru...?"

Enma was very familiar with Orochimaru. Before Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, he often fought against Orochimaru and taught him how to fight.

It can be said that Orochimaru's fighting style in the early stages was very similar to that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't make many moves after that.

After Orochimaru made a contract with Ryuchi Cave, he developed some snake-like fighting styles.

"Enma... Orochimaru has defected!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only offer a simple explanation to make Enma take it seriously.

Before the ape demon could react,

There was new commotion in the courtyard!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Orochimaru made his move again.

The fireball he spat out was more than ten meters wide, instantly engulfing the entire house. The fire covered the wooden walls and engulfed Hiruzen Sarutobi in the room!

Boom!

A loud bang was heard.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's golden cudgel suddenly extended, sweeping the entire house away.

next second.

A black figure rushed out of the ruins.

In just a moment, he appeared in front of Orochimaru.

Clang!

Orochimaru's right hand emerged from his long sleeve, and a long sword gleaming with cold light suddenly thrust forward.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was prepared.

Suddenly, a pair of black hands appeared on the golden cudgel and directly grasped the blade of the Kusanagi sword.

However, Orochimaru's left hand transformed into a large black snake, which bit Hiruzen Sarutobi's calf.

At the same time, the black golden cudgel instantly grew several times larger, directly sending Orochimaru's body flying over a hundred meters away before crashing into a stone wall and coming to a stop.

As the Monkey King released his grip, blood slowly flowed down, and the Kusanagi Sword flew back in a flash.

Orochimaru pulled his body out from under the wall, reached out his left hand to wipe the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and the pale red blood spread across his white clothes.

Click...

He gently twisted his right foot to put the broken bone back in place.

"Teacher, your physical skills seem a bit slow. Are you really getting old?"

Orochimaru said softly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
