Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 94 Orochimaru Arrives (Please Subscribe)

"Mr. Yang, please forgive my sudden visit."

Orochimaru's sudden visit surprised Uchiha Yoichi. What surprised him even more was that Orochimaru brought a timid boy with him, but he still welcomed them both in.

After all, he was the Hokage's disciple and one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha.

After pouring three cups of tea and setting them on the table, Uchiha Yoichi finally spoke, asking, "Lord Orochimaru, what brings you here?"

"There is something I need to discuss, Yang Yijun. Do you know him?"

Orochimaru gestured to the boy beside him.

This question puzzled Uchiha Yoichi, who then shook his head and said, "I've never seen him before. Who is he?"

"I intend to take that village chief from the Land of Iron as my disciple and teach him how to use chakra; this was the village chief's request, but I also have this intention."

Orochimaru paused for a moment, then continued, "I just returned from Ryuchi Cave. Although I passed those three trials, I may have difficulty successfully mastering Sage Mode, so I plan to do some research before attempting the challenge again."

He almost went mad from the immense natural energy after just one attempt at cultivation. If he hadn't used his unique Substitute Technique in time, he probably would have failed in his cultivation and been swallowed by the White Snake Immortal.

Orochimaru even suspected that the White Snake Sage didn't want him to cultivate sage techniques at all, which was why he declined, saying that he didn't have the aptitude.

"I was a little unwilling to give up like this, so I decided to study some immortal techniques. Just then, the village chief came to me, so I took him on as a disciple."

"However, that village chief also wants their entire clan to join Konoha, which is beyond my ability to do. I guess Yang Yi-kun has the power to do so, so I came to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yang immediately shook his head: "I don't have that either. Their clan goes berserk when they absorb too much natural energy, and even Chunin have a hard time controlling them when they go berserk. If this problem isn't solved, which ninja village will accept them?"

Even if they are incredibly powerful, who would want someone who goes berserk at the drop of a hat? Unless they are all locked up in a specially made prison, who could stand it if someone from this clan suddenly went berserk in the middle of the night while everyone else was sleeping?

"Since Yang Yijun isn't interested, then forget it. But Yang Yijun, have you started practicing immortal arts?"

Orochimaru asked, somewhat unwilling. Jiraiya could successfully master Sage Mode, but he couldn't; if Uchiha Yoichi had any ideas, he hoped to exchange them.

Uchiha Yoichi replied, "I will definitely try it in a while, but I'm not in a hurry."

He has a constitution that allows him to absorb natural energy, and it is more perfect than that of the people in that village. He absorbs natural energy every day by relying on his body's instincts. If he cultivates immortal arts after a long time, it will definitely be a natural success.

"Is that so? Well then, I'm sorry to bother you today."

After saying this, Orochimaru prepared to take his leave.

"Wait a minute, Lord Orochimaru. Now that you're here, let's chat a little longer."

Uchiha Yoichi called out to Orochimaru, then his Sharingan appeared in his eyes. He glanced at the boy next to Orochimaru and immediately put him to sleep.

"Lord Orochimaru, would you like to cooperate with me?"

"Cooperation? You mean..."

"I know that Lord Orochimaru wants to study the physique of that race in order to develop a method for cultivating Sage Mode; I can provide you with the resources, but I want a copy of the results after the research is completed."

Orochimaru's initial dream was to learn all ninjutsu, which later turned into researching all the truths of the world. In the end, he discovered that human lifespan is finite, so he became immortal.

However, his research into immortality was also in preparation for studying the truths of the world; it must be said that this guy was a research talent. Orochimaru and the techniques he researched were largely responsible for the chaos in the ninja world later on.

"I don't lack resources, but I still owe you a favor, Yang Yijun. I can agree to this as well."

Orochimaru did not refuse outright, but instead asked for resources, which could also be seen as repaying the favor of having given information about Ryuchi Cave.

One of the Legendary Sannin might actually have no shortage of resources. If Tsunade wanted to, she could mobilize medical supplies from the Wasteland. Orochimaru certainly has his own ways of doing things.

However, since Orochimaru agreed, Uchiha Yoichi's goal was achieved.

Cursed seals are a great boost to a ninja's abilities, making them ideal for training subordinates. The Uchiha clan has many Chunin; if all of them were equipped with cursed seals, their strength would definitely rival that of special Jonin.

"Lord Orochimaru, we will have many opportunities to cooperate. In the village, there is no one else who is suitable to cooperate with you except me."

Uchiha Yang said, "Not only do I have a lot of money, enough to buy you many test subjects, but I also have secret techniques collected by the Hidden Cloud Village, that's all!"

He brought back the secret techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village last time, but there were quite a few ninjutsu among them. After giving some to Kenji Uchiha, he kept the rest.

He hadn't fully mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Impure World Reincarnation, and he simply didn't have the energy to study the secret techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"The secret technique of the Hidden Cloud Village."

While Orochimaru was still pondering, Uchiha Yoichi had already turned and walked out of the living room. He quickly returned and placed a scroll on the table.

"This is a compilation of the secret techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village, but it only contains names. I obtained it during my last mission."

Of course, they wouldn't take out their most precious Uchiha Yoichi. No one knows where the Hidden Cloud Village got him from. They were secretly making a very powerful weapon, a chakra cannon that wouldn't be available for decades.

However, Uchiha Yoichi got his hands on all the blueprints, but he didn't have the energy to manufacture the chakra cannon, and even if he did, he wouldn't have anywhere to store it.

After Orochimaru finished reading quietly, he smiled and said, "Impressive, Yang Yi. I agree to the cooperation. Cooperating with you is almost equivalent to cooperating with the Uchiha clan. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

"That's natural. I understand you, Lord Orochimaru. To control all the truths of the world is a great dream."

Now that the cooperation was agreed upon, Uchiha Yoichi naturally didn't hold back his praise; and Orochimaru's eyes also showed satisfaction after hearing this, as this was exactly what he had been looking for.

Uchiha Yoichi then discussed the details of their first collaboration with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru can find the necessary research equipment, experimental subjects, and supplies himself, as his earth-style techniques are his forte.

Apart from the experimental subjects, the other two are easy to deal with; anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem.

Even the test subjects are easy to deal with. The garrison prison still holds a group of Shimura family members, which can be sent over directly when Orochimaru needs them. Moreover, there are quite a few death row inmates in the ninja world, so it's easy to buy some.

After Orochimaru and his students left, Uchiha Yoichi also began his training.

After losing Gates, Uchiha Yoichi switched back to weighted training, but he felt that the improvement was not as obvious.

Forbidden techniques cannot be practiced in the village. Who knows where Hiruzen Sarutobi might be using his telescope technique to look? Whether it's the Impure World Reincarnation or the Flying Thunder God Technique, if one of them is discovered, it will be very troublesome to explain.

Mikoto Uchiha didn't come to see him today either. Although he knew she was being sent to do something, he felt something was missing without his mature wife by his side.

------------

"Hong, are you also cultivating?"

As Sarutobi Asuma passed by the training grounds and happened to see Kurenai Yuhi. He ran up to her with a delighted expression and asked, "Want to go out for dinner after training? My treat!"

Kurenai shook her head and said, "Forget it, Asuma. I need to go home tonight. Besides, aren't you going to train? The village is facing war, and we could be sent to the battlefield at any moment."

Asuma said, "Of course I'm training, but I also need to balance work and rest. I can't keep training like this all the time!"

"Never mind, Teacher Yangyi has set a training plan for us. If we don't complete it, we will be punished."

Asma scratched his head and said, "This is too strict, and I haven't seen any of your teachers. Did they slack off and go to rest? Haha."

After laughing twice, Asuma suddenly noticed that Hinata Satomi and Chishima Kazuhiko were looking at him strangely, and he guessed that he might have said something wrong.

"Asuma, you've always ranked higher than us at the Ninja Academy. How about we have a match now?"

Hinata Satomi suggested in a less-than-friendly tone that she greatly respected Yoichi-sensei. Although Yoichi was from the Uchiha clan, he took good care of her, a student from the Hyuga branch family. Within the clan, she was basically invisible and no one ever looked after her, but it was different with Yoichi-sensei.

"Never mind, Rimi."

Kazuhiko Chishima spoke up, "What if Asuma loses? They're classmates."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma found it hard to accept. Back in the Ninja Academy, besides Kakashi, who could be stronger than him, the son of the Hokage?

"Alright, let's have a competition then. Individual or team?"

Kazuhiko Chishima said, "Of course it's the team! On the battlefield, you always need the help of your team!"

"OK."

After Sarutobi Asuma finished speaking, he called out to Namiashi Raido and Iwashi, who were standing outside the training ground, "Raido, Iwashi!"

"This is such a hassle, I don't want to do this kind of thing."

"Never mind the similarities, it's actually quite interesting, let's have a friendly competition."

Raido wasn't very interested; having just finished his training, he lacked any motivation. However, Ivasi wanted to have a spar, since the other two in Class 1 were stronger than him, and he had also trained very hard. Now that he had met other opponents, he naturally wanted to show off his skills.

"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here, no problem."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke realized that his younger brother liked the girl, but he wasn't very good at talking.

But with him watching over things, even if they spar, nothing will go wrong.

Hinata Satomi pulled Yuhi Kurenai aside and whispered, "Kurenai, I know you're interested in Asuma, but when it comes to Yoichi-sensei, you won't go easy on him, will you?"

"Don't gossip about who's interested in Asuma. We're just classmates!"

Kurenai Yuhi was a little anxious and quickly clarified, then assured Rimi Hyuga, "I won't hold back later, don't worry."

The two teams quickly agreed on a sparring match, limiting the location to the training ground and the surrounding forest, with no restrictions on the method, and using training kunai and shuriken.

clap clap!

Kurenai clapped her hands twice to draw everyone's attention to her, then gestured again and repeated, "Everyone, please don't stand too far apart, or we'll waste too much time."

With her light and melodious voice and beautiful ruby-like eyes, Kurenai Yuhi immediately caught the attention of Iwashi and Asuma Sarutobi when she spoke; after all, before graduating from the Ninja Academy, Kurenai Yuhi was the most beautiful girl in their class.

However, upon witnessing this scene from afar, Sarutobi Shinnosuke exclaimed in surprise, "Was this illusion technique taught to me by Shinku-senpai?"

After the signal to begin, Kurenai and the other two almost simultaneously threw out a number of smoke grenades to help Satomi Hyuga block her vision.

At the same time, Kurenai Yuhi and Kazuhiko Chishima retreated. They couldn't see anything in the smoke bomb, so there was no point in them staying inside. They would definitely come out as soon as possible to help Hyuga seal the person inside.

Based on his previous memories, Kazuhiko Chishima threw out six shuriken with steel wires, hoping to block the location of one of them.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Satomi, hidden in the smoke bomb, used her Byakugan to quickly rush towards Sarutobi Asuma and his two companions.

Faced with the skillful teamwork of Kurenai and her two companions, Asuma and his two friends were caught off guard at first. Although their Team 1 also valued teamwork, they certainly didn't have such a smooth and coordinated teamwork.

Team 8's usual hypothetical opponents are Uchiha Yoichi and Konoha Raiga's shadow clones. They have tried various methods of coordination, and even considered poisoning them.

"The other side is rolling their eyes, let's move out of the smoke bomb!"

Sarutobi Asuma shouted, but just as the three of them were about to retreat, Namiashi Raido yelled, "We have shuriken and wire!"

Sensing that ninja tools were coming at them, Namiashi Raido hurriedly tried to dodge them, but his vision suddenly blurred, he stumbled, and his legs were wrapped in steel wire before he fell to the ground.

Suddenly, a Byakugan girl appeared in front of Sarutobi Asuma, which startled him. The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist was extremely powerful in close combat, and he didn't want to try it.

But since Hinata Satomi had gotten close, she naturally wouldn't give Asuma a chance to retreat. Her Byakugan, which looked slightly ferocious, locked onto Sarutobi Asuma, and after letting out a soft shout, she directly swung her palm forward to attack.

On the other side, Ivashi dodged left and right, barely managing to escape the smoke bomb's range. But as soon as he emerged, he saw that Sarutobi Asuma had been cut in two, with Namiashi Raito's head resting on his body.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

When Kurenai saw Ivasi scream in shock and then faint, she felt a little embarrassed; she realized she had gone a bit too far.

Soon, all three members of Team One were defeated. After Kurenai Yuhi defeated Iwashi, she went to help Kazuhiko Chishima. The two then went to the vicinity of the fight between Satomi Hyuga and Asuma to prepare to intervene, but were stopped by Shinnosuke Sarutobi who suddenly appeared.

"Alright, that's enough, Asuma, you've lost."

Sarutobi Asuma said somewhat unconvinced, "I haven't even used ninjutsu yet."

"Face reality. If you can't even admit victory or defeat, then you've already lost even more completely."

Hearing his elder brother say this, Asuma could lower his head even if he was unconvinced.

"Alright, Asuma, it was just a sparring match, let's head back now."

Kurenai greeted Asuma, and then left with Rimi Hyuga and Kazuhiko Chishima. They had almost finished their training and it was time for them to go home and rest.

Then Sarutobi Shinnosuke broke Ivasi's illusion and called the three of them to him, saying, "I originally thought your teamwork was pretty good, but compared to Team 8, you are still far behind."

Furthermore, none of the three of you noticed that you were under an illusion from the very beginning. Although it was just an illusion that affected your senses, your foundation was too weak. Starting tomorrow, you should begin your training from the basics as well.
