Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 48 Orochimaru

Kirito looked at the giant snake that had suddenly appeared before him, but he didn't panic. He immediately formed a hand seal and whispered, "Release."

The next moment, the giant snake disappeared, and the scene before his eyes returned to normal.

After the illusion dissipated, Kirito immediately took a few steps back, took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and stared warily at the man in front of him who made him feel uncomfortable.

Orochimaru!

Kirito never expected to encounter this guy here. He had sensed a strong chakra coming from the stairs, but he never imagined it would be Orochimaru.

Shouldn't they still be on the battlefield in the Land of Rain right now?

Has the war between Konoha and Amegakure ended?

And why did he just use illusion magic on him?

Kirito was filled with doubt and apprehension. He then quietly set up a sealing technique, preparing to retaliate immediately should the guy in front of him attack him again.

Orochimaru looked at Kirito, who was now on guard, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He admitted that he was excited and couldn't help stick out a long tongue, which he then slowly pulled back in.

He never expected that an eight-year-old kid could so easily break through his illusion.

He originally just wanted to play a joke on this kid with decent chakra.

I never expected that the other party would crack it so easily.

It's really fun.

He returned in a hurry this time and unexpectedly encountered such an interesting and talented little devil.

When Kirito saw Orochimaru sticking out his tongue, his stomach churned. He almost couldn't resist activating the sealing technique he had successfully set up to bind this disgusting guy and then give him a good Gentle Fist punch in the face.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

Orochimaru swallowed his tongue back and spoke to Kirito in a slightly hoarse voice, revealing a smile that would scare a child.

"Please, stop laughing."

Seeing this, Kirito thought to himself, then said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you use illusion magic on me just now?"

"Oh, that? I'm sorry, consider this my apology."

Orochimaru smiled when he saw that Kirito was a little grumpy.

After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth, and a snake crawled out of it. Then the snake opened its mouth again and spat out a scroll covered in mucus.

Orochimaru grabbed the scroll and threw it at Kirito.

Upon seeing this, a chakra thread instantly grew from the chakra chakra point on Kirito's shoulder. It precisely wrapped around the flying scroll, lifted it into the air, and then slowly placed the scroll in front of Kirito.

When Orochimaru saw Kirito's use of chakra threads to manipulate the scroll, the vertical pupils in his golden eyes instantly shrank to pinpoints.

He couldn't help himself; he got excited again, and his tongue couldn't help sticking out.

"Sparashi, at such a young age, he can freely open the chakra points on his body and has such excellent chakra control. This child is very much like me when I was a child."

Orochimaru squinted, looking at Kirito with the eyes of someone eyeing a precious treasure.

At the same time, his eyes revealed undisguised admiration and a hint of greed.

He suddenly had the idea of ​​taking on apprentices.

Kirito felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that by Orochimaru. If he hadn't already detected several Jonin-level chakra nearby, one of which was the familiar Senju Jiun's chakra, he would have turned and run away.

The person in front of him was truly a monster.

He couldn't take it anymore.

"My lord, I accept your apology. My name is Kirito Tohsaka. I am here to clean the archives on the orders of Master Jiun Senju. I will take my leave now."

Kirito didn't even look at the contents of the scroll. He just held it with his chakra threads, said indifferently, and then boldly continued walking forward.

"Kirito Tohsaka, I'll remember you. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come find me. My name is Orochimaru."

As Kirito brushed past Orochimaru, he heard Orochimaru's hoarse voice in his ear.

Kirito didn't respond, but quickened his pace, trying to distance himself from Orochimaru as if he were fleeing.

Once Kirito disappeared at the top of the stairs, Orochimaru slowly withdrew his eyes and turned to look at the frosty-faced female medical ninja in front of him.

The newcomer was none other than Thousand-Handed Compassionate Cloud.

"Orochimaru, don't mess with Kirito. He's Mito-sama's disciple."

Ciyun warned Orochimaru in a cold tone.

She disliked this fellow Konoha ninja and Tsunade's teammate intensely; her dislike for his contemptuous and malicious golden eyes was truly irritating.

This person is extremely dangerous; letting him come into contact with Kirito would definitely not be a good thing.

"I see. It's that child. I heard Tsunade mention him before. He is indeed an outstanding child, and he has learned a very good sealing technique from Lady Mito. No wonder Lady Mito likes him so much."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked down at the ground beneath his feet and said thoughtfully.

Kirito's little tricks, of course, did not escape the notice of someone who was also proficient in sealing techniques. The snake on his body, which had been modified to have a strong sense of chakra, had already discovered that Kirito was secretly using chakra, but he just didn't say anything.

However, since Kirito did not activate the sealing technique he had secretly set up, he did not know what kind of sealing technique Kirito had used.

"You know that Kirito will be an important right-hand man to Lady Tsunade in the future, so you'd better not interfere with his growth."

Ciyun issued another warning.

Although Orochimaru spoke very softly, she still heard him, so she now needs to take preventative measures and not give Orochimaru any chance to cause trouble.

If she weren't unsure whether she could defeat Orochimaru, she would have loved to get rid of this source of trouble.

Beat him until he never dares to even think about hitting on other people's babies again.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it on her own. Orochimaru was incredibly powerful. He had already earned the title of "Legendary Sannin of Konoha" alongside Tsunade and Jiraiya on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, becoming a renowned ninja in the ninja world.

However, just because she herself cannot do it does not mean that the Senju clan cannot. As long as Lady Mito and Lady Tsunade are still alive, even Orochimaru would not dare to lay a hand on Kirito, Lady Mito's disciple.

"Since he's Tsunade's right-hand man, I won't touch him. Goodbye."

Orochimaru stared directly into Jiyun's dangerous eyes, sneered, and then walked past Jiyun slowly toward the hospital exit.

Ciyun turned around and looked at Orochimaru's receding figure, wondering, "Why would that disgusting guy come back at this time?"

A few minutes later, Orochimaru walked out of the hospital. He looked up and used his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight.

As he lowered his hand, an ANBU ninja wearing a cat mask appeared in front of him.

"So you're one of Danzo's men. Speak, what is it?"

Orochimaru instantly recognized the person's identity and looked at him with interest.

"Orochimaru, Lord Danzo requests your presence."

The Root ninja spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
