It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

"Uncle, you might fool a three-year-old with what you're saying, but your wicked eyes are completely visible to my Sharingan." Zhi Xue opened her three-tomoe Sharingan, threw out kunai, and they collided in the air, stabbing at Orochimaru from all directions.

Seeing the seemingly endless attacks around him, Orochimaru formed hand seals and unleashed a hurricane from his mouth, sending the kunai flying.

"Hehehe, you're nothing more than a fledgling bird that hasn't fully grown its wings yet. You have no choice in this matter!" Orochimaru formed hand seals on the spot, and his two arms transformed into dozens of venomous snakes that coiled around Zhixue.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball shot out from the water's surface, colliding with the swarm of snakes, and the aroma of roasted meat wafted from its center.

But as Zhixue intensified her attack, a long white blade shot out from the flames, severing a lock of her hair, which then drifted onto the river surface.

A blue light flashed on the Kusanagi sword, which, under Orochimaru's control, stabbed towards Shiseido.

Seeing the Kusanagi sword flying towards her, Shiki was covered in a layer of scarlet chakra. Two tails appeared behind her, and a huge chakra arm was pulled out from her body, grabbing the blade of the Kusanagi sword and preventing it from moving forward even an inch.

"Is this Tailed Beast Chakra?" Orochimaru felt his brain go blank the moment he saw Shisei extend her chakra arm.

Where in Konoha could you find a second tailed beast besides the Nine-Tails? But if it's not the Nine-Tails, what is this thing in front of us?

Zhi Xue watched as Orochimaru, controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra arm, grabbed Orochimaru and pressed him down into the deep water.

"Summoning Jutsu!" Orochimaru, who was being dragged wildly through the water by his chakra arms, pulled out his hands and slapped the summoning mark onto Shisue's scarlet arm.

puff!

Suddenly, as if the bottom of the water had been filled, a huge wave surged up. Zhi Xue's Nine-Tails Chakra arm also disappeared underwater. After using the Body Flicker Technique to get hundreds of meters away, Zhi Xue was able to see the enormous purple figure in front of her, which was as big as a mountain range and covered the sky.

Orochimaru shook off his soaked robes, looked down at the tiny Shiki below, and grinned.

When Manda first appeared, he also focused his attention on Orochimaru.

"Hey, Orochimaru, my time is very precious. Where is that human brat named Yuki that you want to deal with?" Manda glanced around at the scenery, but didn't seem to find anything suspicious.

"Heh, don't look in the wrong direction, old friend, the enemy is right behind you." Orochimaru pointed in a direction towards Manda, but just as Manda turned its massive snake head and saw the familiar little brat on the shore...

Manda: ? ? ?

Upon seeing that Orochimaru's enemy was the brat Uchiha Shiyuki, Manda decisively threw Orochimaru off his head.

"Damn it, you want me to deal with this brat? Only an idiot would do something like this! If you want to get rid of me, don't drag me into it!" After cursing Orochimaru a few times, Manda didn't hesitate for long before turning into a puff of white smoke and disappearing from the scene.

Orochimaru, who had just fallen into the water and was unaware of what was happening: ? ? ?

Why is this stinky snake so irritable today? What's wrong with it?

After adjusting his posture in the water, Orochimaru poked his head out and looked in the direction of Zhixue, muttering, "Summoning beasts are too unreliable. The key is to rely on yourself... Huh? What's that?"

Just as Orochimaru emerged from the water, a golden light suddenly rose from Zhixue's hand and slammed down in his direction.

"Look directly at me, bastard!"

Chapter 96, Pain's Heavenly Path - Super

"Today is a good day, a good day..." On a small road on the edge of the Land of Grass, a grass ninja held a keychain in his hand, preparing to change shifts with the ninja guarding the border of Amegakure.

Because Amegakure is closed off for most of the year, hardly anyone passes through here. Therefore, guarding the border here is a rare and desirable job. All you have to do every day is keep an eye out for any large animals and protect the farmland of the surrounding villages from being attacked.

But just as this cheerful grass ninja thought he would spend the day leisurely as usual, a golden light slashed from afar, leaving a long trench beside him. He was also thrown away by the shockwave from the impact, crashing into a large tree and breaking it in two.

"Mom, Mom, what kind of ninjutsu is this?! Could it be an invasion by an enemy country? No, no, I have to report this to my superiors, there are enemies here!" The grass ninja, who had gotten up from the ground, had eyes filled with fear as he limped towards the nearby stronghold.

On the water's surface, where Zhixue had cleaved, the empty area in the middle was gradually recovering with the surging of the water. Zhixue, panting heavily, also dispelled the giant sword she had condensed with earth-attribute chakra.

Orochimaru, who had been slammed into the water, sank to the bottom. But soon, two hands emerged from Orochimaru's mouth, and as his mouth opened wider, a brand new Orochimaru emerged from his body.

This time, Orochimaru was smarter. Instead of going directly to the surface, he sent a small snake to an inconspicuous spot on the shore to observe Zhixue's current condition.

Hmm, he looks quite weak. That attack probably used up a lot of chakra. But the aura of the tailed beast chakra he just witnessed made Orochimaru feel very uneasy. However, things had already come to this point, and he couldn't stop now.

Orochimaru, still holding his breath, formed hand seals, and the Kusanagi Sword, hundreds of meters away, stood upright in the water, radiating a ghostly blue light, and thrust upwards towards Shisue.

At this moment, Zhixue, who was still on the shore, seemed to sense something. She took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai from her pocket and used a counterattack to get behind Orochimaru just before the blade protruding from the water stabbed her.

Snapped!

Zhi Xue grabbed Orochimaru's shoulder, and the natural energy accumulated in her body was poured into Orochimaru's body.

Orochimaru's pupils contracted as he felt his body being petrified.

"This is Sage Mode!?" Orochimaru turned his stiff neck and looked back at Zhixue's small body. A large brown snake emerged from Orochimaru's mouth and lunged at Zhixue.

The Nine-Tails' chakra reappeared around Zhixue, and she strangled the giant snake that had bitten her in the water.

Seeing Orochimaru unable to move, the clover in Shiki's eyes began to spin.

"The Magical Shackles Technique!" Orochimaru stared blankly at Shiki's crimson pupils.

In the blood-red space, there was a blood-stained wooden stake, firmly fixed to it by four huge nails. Orochimaru looked at Shiki with a wicked smile.

"Did you pull me into a genjutsu? But you should know that I am a ninja who is proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. You can't control me!" Orochimaru's body gradually withered, and a brand new Orochimaru emerged from his mouth. But soon, a powerful eye power locked onto him and pressed him back down.

“You’re right, your genjutsu skills are indeed impressive, but in front of these eyes, all the ninjutsu you’ve learned and your future ideas are utterly insignificant.” Zhi Xue walked up to Orochimaru and met his gaze with his golden snake eyes.

Orochimaru's expression was no longer as calm as before, as he looked at Shiki's contemptuous attitude and her view that all his ninjutsu had been refuted.

"What arrogant words! You're just a clueless brat. How could you possibly understand what I'm pursuing?" Orochimaru said to Zhixue with a gloomy expression. Then, his chakra began to flow throughout his body, and the nails around him began to pry open.

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be struggling to break free from the genjutsu, Zhixue increased the use of her eye power, but it didn't seem to be very effective. Orochimaru was struggling fiercely, and she was starting to lose control...

Suddenly, Zhixue, who was still struggling to suppress her emotions, seemed to have thought of something. She removed the nails from Orochimaru's body, then closed her eyes, as if searching for something in her mind.

Seeing Zhixue's confused actions, Orochimaru pounced on her without hesitation. But just as he was about to grab her, a strange light gate appeared in front of her, and Orochimaru, unable to stop himself, crashed into it.

system:……

Ding, this host is quite shrewd. Knowing it's difficult to suppress, he threw it here.

"Hmm, System, is this considered an illusion?" Zhi Xue asked the system, looking at Orochimaru who had been thrown into the virtual training arena.

Ding! The virtual training ground can also be described as an illusion, strictly speaking.

"Phew, that makes things much easier. Commander, summon a Kage-level, no, a Super Kage-level AI for Orochimaru. If it's defeated, keep summoning AIs of the same level until the mission is completed." Zhi Xue exhaled a breath of turbid air as she spoke.

Ding, received.

At this moment, Orochimaru, whose consciousness was deeply drawn into the virtual training ground, looked around at the desolate and silent environment with vigilance.

"How could the illusion space here be so large?"

Unlike the short and powerless magical space that Zhixue had created before, Orochimaru here seemed to have completely detached himself from his physical body and could not sense it at all.

While Orochimaru was still exploring everything around him with a sense of bewilderment, beams of light gradually combined and formed on the open ground not far away.

Super Shadow Man-Machine is being generated...

Generation complete…

Human-Machine Name: Pain Super

Strength: Super Shadow.

Specialties: Rinnegan eye techniques, Yin-Yang Release.

When Pain appeared, Orochimaru's mind raced, and he immediately realized that what he was seeing was probably an illusion. He didn't pay much attention to it, but when Universal Pull pulled him in, Orochimaru's mind went blank.

"Wang Xiaoting!"

"Damn it!"

"Valivaliwapein, Kamina!"

……

Zhi Xue, who was observing the miserable state of the virtual training ground from outside, felt sorry for Orochimaru, who was being brutally beaten by Tendo, for a couple of seconds.

It's really tragic that he got beaten up by his own boss right from the start. He'll probably have a psychological trauma from seeing Pain after being beaten so badly.

At this moment, Orochimaru, who was still in the virtual training field, once again used the Orochimaru-style substitution technique and ran wildly on the surrounding open ground. He glanced back at Pain, who was chasing after him, and his expression was quite interesting.

"That despicable Uchiha Shiyuki! How could she resort to such despicable tactics? Or were you all plotting against me all along...?" Orochimaru tried to use the dispelling seals to break the genjutsu, but it was useless. He was still trapped in the genjutsu space, unable to leave. It was like encountering a ghost in broad daylight...

Chapter 97, The Mother and Daughter Being Transported

Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and receiving the reward: Kusanagi Sword, and your Illusion Mastery has been upgraded to level 7.

After pulling Orochimaru, who had already lost the ability to resist, out of the virtual training ground, Orochimaru, who had just returned to his body, could still feel the pain all over his body.

It wasn't physical pain, but it still made it impossible for Orochimaru to effectively control his body. He could only watch helplessly as Shiki slowly squatted down in front of him, unable to do anything.

Speaking of which, because Orochimaru was too cowardly, the battle with Pain lasted for a long time without ending. Seeing that it was almost evening, Zhixue had no choice but to switch to Edo Itachi and use Tsukuyomi to stab Orochimaru for three days and three nights before she heard the system notification that the mission was completed.

"What...what exactly is that?" Orochimaru, slumped on the ground, asked, his face filled with fear, avoiding Zhixue's gaze.

Although the little devil's eye power was strong, it was not enough to completely suppress him. However, in that desolate space, the pain was so real, and no matter what method he used, he could not leave that hellish place, which was simply terrifying.

"Would you believe me if I said it was the Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique?" Zhi Xue raised her hand and turned Orochimaru's head toward her gaze, and the clover pattern began to slowly rotate.

"boom!"

"!!!" Orochimaru was startled by the sound effect simulated by Zhixue, and his body suddenly reacted by leaping back several meters.

"Oh, I was just joking with you. Now that the joke is over, we should continue on our way." Zhi Xue smiled, as if nothing had happened. However, Orochimaru's mental state took a long time to recover.

They walked together on a path in the Land of Grass, Orochimaru with ropes tied around his hands being led behind by Shisue.

Watching Zhixue's leisurely pace, Orochimaru looked somewhat haggard. This guy was too strange; he couldn't understand where his abilities came from, and that last thing that resembled a genjutsu was even more perverted. He had now completely lost interest in this evil Uchiha brat.

All he wants now is to be a scientist in peace; this organization is no longer a good fit for him…

Snake's sadness.jpg

During his time in the Land of Grass, Orochimaru used his agile skills to escape from Shiseido's clutches.

Zhi Xue was not surprised at all. It was obvious that Orochimaru had developed some psychological trauma towards Pain and her after being beaten up by her. It was probably impossible for him to return to the organization. She just needed to find a reason to explain things properly.

After Orochimaru left, Zhixue took out a longsword with a red tassel and a black hilt, which was a reward from the system, from her virtual ring. The blade seemed to have streamlined patterns on both sides, which shimmered in the sunlight.

Kusanagi Sword (Fire)

Description: Unlike the divine weapons in the original Naruto world, this sword seems to have a strong affinity for fire-attribute power.

Features: Excellent chakra conductivity, high temperature resistance, high toughness, indestructible, and sharp.

He swung the sword a few times in the air, producing a series of sword cries that made Zhixue nod in satisfaction.

Then, Shiyuki gathered fire-attribute chakra in her hand and channeled it into the Kusanagi sword through the hilt.
