Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 1 Lord Orochimaru, it's been a long time!

tick-

tick-

The sound of dripping water echoed continuously in the dark underground laboratory. Shihara Hidezawa, dressed in ANBU uniform, carefully followed behind a female ANBU member with purple hair as they walked forward.

The pitch-black passage seemed to lead to hell; most people would feel a chill run down their spine upon seeing it.

"Be careful, this may be Orochimaru's laboratory."

The purple-haired girl glanced at the situation ahead, then whispered to Xiuze behind her.

"Moreover, we have been separated from the others, and a battle could break out at any time, so we must remain focused."

"I know, Senior Yugao."

Hidezawa nodded, but his words made Uzuki Yugao pause for a moment.

"Your ANBU assessment was excellent, so why don't you know you should use code names during work hours? And pay attention, we're facing Orochimaru!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, senior."

Uzuki Yugao clearly had some dissatisfaction with Hidezawa, especially since as members of the Anbu, they represented the Hokage and Konoha!

Especially in recent years, the situation in Konoha has been very bad.

Five years ago, in the 47th year of Konoha, the Nine-Tails incident caused Konoha to lose its Fourth Hokage.

Then, fifty years later in Konoha, Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, even defected from Konoha!

Last year, the Hidden Cloud Village almost went to war with the Hidden Leaf Village, which was in a precarious state at the time.

As members of the Anbu, they naturally have to work hard for the honor of Konoha, especially now that they have finally obtained information about Orochimaru.

"Something's up, be careful."

Just as Uzuki Yugao was about to say something more, Hidezawa suddenly spoke up and grabbed Uzuki Yugao, pushing her aside.

call out--

call out--

call out--

Several kunai, accompanied by the sound of them being torn apart, came toward the two of them, and the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard from other places within the laboratory.

Clearly, they've been ambushed!

"hateful!"

Uzuki Yugao steadied herself, cursed under her breath, quickly drew her ninja sword from behind her, and turned to Hidezawa.

"Prepare for battle, we!"

Before the words were even finished, the explosive tag tied to the kunai was detonated, and flames and thick smoke instantly enveloped the surroundings. Moreover, several figures were rushing towards them through the smoke!

At the critical moment, Xiuze suddenly formed a hand seal, and the ground trembled slightly.

"Is this chakra that strong?"

Uzuki Yugao was somewhat taken aback. Although she was only thirteen years old, her ability to enter the Anbu already demonstrated her considerable talent.

However, she had read Xiuze's report and found that the boy who had just joined the Dark Division was even younger than herself.

"No wonder his evaluation report was all excellent."

As they were marveling at this, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless spikes rose from the earth, instantly engulfing the figures that had suddenly attacked.

Thick smoke enveloped the area, and Xiuze suddenly leaped up and plunged straight into the smoke, a sight that caused Yugao Uzuki's expression to change slightly once again.

"That's too risky. Those Orochimaru henchmen are definitely not easy to deal with. How could he be so reckless?"

Although Uzuki Yugao was somewhat dissatisfied with Hidezawa's previous attitude, she still cared about him as a fellow member of the Anbu.

The Anbu is the Hokage's direct subordinate unit, and its members are the ones most deeply influenced by the "Will of Fire."

If one cannot even pass the "Will of Fire" test, it will be difficult to enter the inner circle, let alone gain the Hokage's trust.

Even though the Anbu can be extreme and will stop at nothing to complete their missions, they are still much better than the Root, who don't care about the lives of their comrades.

"We have to help him!"

The ninja sword in Uzuki Yugao's hand gleamed with a cold light as she looked for an opportunity to go in and help the newcomer, Hidezawa.

However, she soon realized that her idea seemed to be wildly wrong.

Even shrouded in smoke, she could still make out Xiuze's figure—after all, he looked shorter than everyone else.

Even though Shusawa was shorter than Orochimaru's henchmen, it did not affect his fighting ability in the slightest.

Uzuki Yugao could see relatively clearly that Xiuzawa's figure moved like a ghost in the smoke, constantly launching attacks while hovering around the attackers.

Ding--

Ding--

Ding--

The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously in this area, and even the sound of metal piercing flesh could be heard constantly!

Such sharp speed and such mastery of technique left Uzuki Yugao completely dumbfounded.

Before long, the smoke slowly dissipated.

Xiuze landed, standing there calmly, while the ninjas who had launched the attack were already dead around him.

Looking at that figure from behind, Uzuki Yugao was momentarily dazed; she didn't seem to have done anything.

"Are you alright?"

Although she was feeling a little down, Uzuki Yugao still asked with concern.

But when Xiuze turned around, he grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him.

This action made Uzuki Yugao want to say something, but she stopped abruptly the next moment because she heard footsteps walking slowly towards her.

Moreover, as those footsteps approached, an invisible pressure also followed!

Before long, a man dressed in white, with a pale face and orange-yellow eyes like snakes, vaguely appeared. When Uzuki Yugao saw this figure, her face under the mask turned deathly pale.

"Orochimaru."

The latest novel is first published here!

They unconsciously tightened their grip on the ninja sword in their hands. Even though their target this time was Orochimaru, Orochimaru was still one of the Legendary Sannin!

Countless ninjas grew up listening to his stories, so it was natural that Uzuki Yugao couldn't suppress her fear when facing him.

"Senior Yugao, don't worry, I'm here."

Just then, Xiuze suddenly spoke softly, and this voice unexpectedly calmed down Uzuki Yugao's heart.

"I lost my composure."

"No, anyone would be nervous facing Orochimaru."

Xiuze shook his head slightly before speaking seriously.

"Senior Yugao, please leave here first and find the others to join you. Then quickly reinforce this place. I will try my best to hold off Orochimaru."

"No!"

Before Xiuze could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yougao Uzuki.

"How could I possibly entrust such a dangerous task to you?"

"Senior Yugao, now is not the time for argument."

As Shuzawa watched Orochimaru getting closer, he quickly whispered something.

"Senior Yugao is more skilled in swordsmanship, but swordsmanship is unlikely to be effective against someone like Orochimaru."

But I'm different. My seniors have seen my abilities, so please trust me.

Looking at Xiuze in front of her and listening to his approaching footsteps, Yugao knew that her time was running out!

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and nodded, then said in a deep voice.

"Please don't let anything happen to you, and wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, she gave Xiuze a deep look, then gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Just then, Orochimaru slowly walked to a position about three meters away from Hidezawa.

clap clap-

As applause erupted, both Xiuze and Xiyan, who had turned and left, felt a chilling sensation as if they were being watched by a venomous snake!

"Commendable courage, so how long can you hold me back?"

A hoarse voice rang out, and Orochimaru's face showed a mixture of admiration and amusement.

Upon hearing this voice, Uzuki Yugao felt even greater pressure, which made her speed up even more.

However, Hidezawa, who remained in place, appeared very calm. Only after confirming that Uzuki Yugao had gone far enough did he slowly remove his mask.

His short black hair and handsome face made him easy to like, and he gave a slight bow to the cold Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, it's been a long time."
