Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 127 More Like a Beast
Shanks is only 15 years old this year, seriously speaking, he is one year younger than Hexie.

But a person's strength obviously cannot be simply equated with age.

In the world of One Piece, there is not a set of recognized strength classifications. In general, it is either roughly analogized according to the rank of the navy, or roughly divided according to the amount of the reward.

Although Shanks is young, but because he was adopted by the Pirate King Roger since he was a child, and he practiced with that ship of masters, now his strength is at least at the level of a naval elite vice-admiral in Haixi's opinion.

The sharp claw strike was intercepted by the sharp blade, and Haixi's right claw shrank, and she clasped the blade instead, then leaped into the air, using her right front paw as a fulcrum, flicked it lightly, and her hind paw and tail whipped the air, making a slight explosion.

[North wind sweeps the tail]!
Swah——

"Good come!"

Shanks made a sound of admiration, as if he appreciated Haixi's change of tactics.But facing the attack that was close at hand, he didn't panic at all, but took half a step forward very nimbly.Flipping his wrist, he changed his grip from a pronated grip to a reversed grip, and stabbed Haixi's belly with the hilt of his sword.

This blow is not much gorgeous to speak of, but the timing is just right, like a great ingenuity to reduce complexity to simplicity after many battles.

After Haixi's transformation, he became a frost wolf with a body length of three meters, which meant that there was a gap of about one meter between his forelimbs, hind limbs, and tail. This was the common weakness of all wolf creatures - the waist and abdomen.

If it was a fight to the death, one would almost lose half of one's life after being hit by this trick.

But Hexi was actually not that careless. After all, his right front paw was still grasping Shanks' sword. After sensing the opponent's intention, he also pressed his left front paw, and at the same time his two hind legs retracted to protect Shanks. The waist and abdomen, leaving only the tail to chop down vertically, continued to maintain the offensive.

Boom!
The hind paw collided with the hilt of the sword, making a dull sound, and then Haixi jumped back with his strength, his gaze became more serious.

He originally wanted to launch a continuous and crazily fierce combo like the howling north wind, but he was forced to retreat and defend in the second move, and was finally interrupted. He could only choose mediocre Unsurprisingly ended.

'Informative and domineering? '

He recalled Shanks' response just now, and he didn't realize that the other party predicted his moves in advance, "That's pure combat experience."

Taking a deep breath, he had to admit that because of his lack of physical fitness, although he had a lot of combat experience, they were all medium and long-range, and there were almost no fist-to-body fights with the enemy.

Even in those mission worlds.

"It can't go on like this..."

Recalling the battle scenes of the Snowfield Wolf King that appeared in his mind, Hai Xi made up his mind, "It is impossible to gain the approval of the North Wind King Wolf. I have to fight more like a wild beast." .”

"Come again!"

He let out a growl and charged at the enemy again.

……

……

Ninja world.

Sand Hidden Research Institute, a secret laboratory.

"finished!"

Haixi let out a long breath, "Try it?"

Orochimaru stared at the seal pattern on his abdomen for a few times, with a slightly complicated look on his face, and then tried to seal it.

After a while, he let out a deep and hoarse laugh: "Very good, it's this power, Immortal Chakra..."

"Hey,"

Haixi suddenly interrupted his wild laughter, and then threw a mirror to Orochimaru.

"Look at the effect of your double eyeshadow, isn't it too hot?" He said with a look of disgust.

Immortal mode would have added eye shadow special effects to the caster, and Orochimaru usually likes to apply purple eye shadow on himself, this superposition... Good guy, it looks like a killer smoky eye makeup , Do not eat too much lotus root.

Hokage also has to pay attention to its image.

Orochimaru looked in the mirror, and then removed his original eye shadow.

"It's much more pleasing to the eye now,"

Hai Xi nodded, "By the way, when are you going to do it?"

"Of course the sooner the better,"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, "My dear Sarutobi-sensei has been urging me recently to compete with Minato in dealing with tailed beasts. I'll just give him a surprise this time."

"The old man is getting old, don't scare him to death." Haixi gloated.

"Don't underestimate our ninja..."

Orochimaru smiled playfully.

……

Leaf Village.

The Naruto office is holding a high-level enlarged meeting.

In addition to Hokage and its three assistants, the participants also included Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Nara Shikahisa, the squad leader of the ninja class.

"Tell me, Orochimaru."

The Third Hokage took two puffs from the pipe, "You proposed today's meeting."

His words caused everyone present to turn their attention to Orochimaru, and they all had different expressions on the head of the Sannin who had been famous for many years and made great achievements in battle.

The most obvious is Jiraiya, he seems a little guilty, and he doesn't even dare to look at Orochimaru.

In the eyes of the elder Shimura Danzo, there is naked hostility and jealousy. As for the others, they are more alienated.

I have to say that in terms of popularity, Orochimaru is indeed inferior to Namikaze Minato.

"Hum hum……"

After sensing the emotions of everyone present, Orochimaru laughed softly, "I agree with your proposal. As Hokage, it is indeed very important to subdue the tailed beast and protect the village."

Hearing what he said, Sandai Hokage was obviously relieved.

To be honest, although he is more inclined to Namikaze Minato in the choice of the fourth generation of Hokage, it does not mean that he wants to give up Orochimaru, a disciple who has always been very optimistic.

If you can't be Hokage, you can still continue to serve the village!But we must not repeat the mistakes of Konoha Baiya back then. It would be a pity to lose such a useful combat power for nothing.

"but……"

It's a pity that he was too happy too early, and Orochimaru hadn't finished speaking.

Seeing that he only used two words and made many people nervous again, Orochimaru became more and more disdainful, "As a senior, I am very happy to have a young genius like Minato-kun appear in the village. But recently I heard There are many rumors, they say that Minato-kun's strength and achievements have surpassed mine, which makes me very disliked."

He looked around and finally met Namikaze Minato's eyes.

"I want to clear up this rumor. I don't know what Minato-kun wants?"

"How to clarify?" Namikaze Minato's heart tightened, with an inexplicable premonition.

"It's simple,"

Orochimaru had a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, "We are all ninjas, whoever is strong and who is weak, we will know in one battle. So that no one will make false statements in the future."

"Hey, Orochimaru!"

Zilai also couldn't sit still when he heard it.On one side is his close friend, on the other side is his disciple, and may even be the son of the prophecy who will change the world in the future. It is very uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle.

"Why, do you want to go too?"

Orochimaru turned his head and sneered, and was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

"Oshemaru, Konoha has never been the strongest to become Hokage." Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

"Of course, I didn't say that this matter has anything to do with Hokage,"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, "I just want to clarify this rumor. Why, Minato-kun, don't you dare? Otherwise, Sarutobi-sensei can clarify this in the name of Hokage."

Three generations of Hokage stopped talking immediately. If it comes to strength, everyone is still a little uncertain about who is stronger, Orochimaru or Namikaze Minato.So in terms of merit, Namikaze Minato is at least ten years behind Orochimaru's mission. How does this compare?
Hokage came forward and said that Namikaze Minato's achievements were not as good as Orochimaru?Hiruzaru Sarutobi was unwilling to make such an official qualitative statement.But it's even more impossible for Hokage to come forward and tell nonsense, and it's not that biased.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is more feasible for Orochimaru to use strength to determine the superiority.The information on both sides is not a secret. When the time comes to brainstorm, I don't believe that Namikaze Minato can't win.

And this is exactly the purpose of Orochimaru. If you don't show some benefits to the other party, how can they agree?

"Okay, Senior Orochimaru's proposal, I accept."

After exchanging glances with each other, Namikaze Minato accepted Orochimaru's invitation to fight.
