Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

When Kushina Uzumaki saw Orochimaru, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

Because of Orochimaru's pale skin and his snake-like vertical pupils, in Kushina Uzumaki's eyes, Orochimaru seemed like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey.

Tsunade and Jiraiya, two of the other three legendary ninja, look perfectly normal, so why does Orochimaru look so terrifying?

Kushina Uzumaki shrank back behind Chiba, somewhat frightened.

However, because Orochimaru was Chiba's teacher, Kushina Uzumaki mustered up her courage and greeted him, "Lord Orochimaru..."

Orochimaru merely glanced at Kushina Uzumaki without saying a word.

Chiyu turned to Kushina Uzumaki and said, "Kushina, Orochimaru-sensei is looking for me. You should go back now. Remember, if anything happens, just ring that bell!"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and said, "I understand, Chiba."

Chiyu ruffled Kushina's hair and said, "Then hurry back and tell Grandma Mito the good news that you've become a ninja."

Knowing that she might not be able to see Chiba again for a while after this parting, Kushina Uzumaki left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.

Chiba was also reluctant, but he didn't want Kushina Uzumaki to be exposed to Orochimaru for too long.

No one knows what the teacher is thinking right now.

Being targeted is not a good thing.

Chiyu turned to Orochimaru again and said, "I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sensei, I've kept you waiting."

"Let's go then."

Chiba left the ninja academy with Orochimaru.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chiyu followed Orochimaru to an underground base on the edge of Konoha.

Qianyu looked at the dimly lit surroundings with a strange expression.

Did Orochimaru already have a habit of building underground bases during this period?

Orochimaru led Chiba to an office that looked like a workplace, with open ninjutsu scrolls all over the desk.

Orochimaru sat down in the chair, looked at Chiyu, and asked, "Do you know your chakra nature?"

Qianyu answered truthfully, "I only know that I have a lightning attribute."

Orochimaru took out a piece of paper: "This is a chakra test strip. It can detect the chakra attribute of a ninja. Just inject your chakra into the chakra test strip."

Chiyu took the chakra test strip and infused it with chakra.

The chakra test strips began to change.

One area became wrinkled, another caught fire, another became wet, and finally, the last area crumbled.

Orochimaru looked at the changes in the chakra test strip and said in surprise, "Oh? It has four chakra natures: lightning, fire, water, and earth. It only needs wind nature to complete the five natures."

Orochimaru closed his eyes, pondering how to teach Chiba.

Chiyu didn't make a sound to disturb Orochimaru, and stood quietly beside him waiting.

Half an hour later, Orochimaru opened his eyes and said to Chiba, "I am not very proficient in the three esoteric techniques of lightning, fire, and water, but guiding you should be enough."

As for taijutsu, you've already mastered the complete sword form of Thunder Breathing, so just keep practicing. I don't have any better taijutsu than the complete sword form of Thunder Breathing.

Since you have already mastered the form and nature transformations of lightning chakra, then focus on lightning release for now and continue to refine your skills. Then gradually master the fire, water, and earth chakra release techniques.

I've noticed that you're not very proficient with your Sharingan. The use of the Sharingan needs to be incorporated into your training plan. As one of the three great dojutsu of the ninja world, even the single-tomoe Sharingan is extremely useful to a ninja.

The Sharingan with its single tomoe provides insight, and when combined with the full sword form of Thunder Breathing, it should provide a significant boost.

Then, my secret technique needs to be used in conjunction with necromancy, so you also need to master necromancy.

That concludes your cultivation plan for this period. Do you have any objections?

Chiba replied, "Orochimaru-sensei, I have no objection!"

Orochimaru stood up from his chair and said, "Since there are no objections, let's start tomorrow. I'll take you to your room."

Orochimaru led Chiba out of the office and into a room.

The room was completely exposed; apart from a bed and a bedside table, there was nothing else.

Orochimaru instructed Chiyu, "You can go almost anywhere in this base, but don't go into any rooms with seals."

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei."

After Orochimaru left the room, Chiba lay down on the bed where she would probably be sleeping for a long time.

Orochimaru truly lived up to his name. Upon hearing Orochimaru's plan, Chiba felt that her days ahead would be very fulfilling.

Chapter 26: Training Begins

Chiba settled down in Orochimaru's underground base.

Furthermore, Orochimaru has already devised a comprehensive training plan for Chiba.

However, Chiyu was unaware that the days that followed would be a nightmare for her.

The next morning, before dawn, Qianyu was awakened by a snake.

When the snake crawled onto Qianyu's bed, Qianyu woke up with a start.

Moreover, this snake can speak human language, making it an absolute summoning beast summoned by Orochimaru.

"Lord Senba, Lord Orochimaru is already waiting for you."

This is the first time someone... no, a snake has ever addressed him as "sir," and it feels strange.

When Chiyu arrived at Orochimaru's office, Orochimaru was already reading a scroll of ninjutsu.

"Since you're already up, let's get started. Come with me."

Orochimaru brought Chiba to the training grounds of the underground base.

In the center of the training ground, Orochimaru summoned a large number of snakes.

Orochimaru said to Chiba, "We'll start with taijutsu training this morning. You can't use Lightning Release chakra to activate your body. Just use your bare physical strength to hit as many snakes as possible within one minute. You can only stop when I tell you to. Are you ready?"

Qianyu was a little dazed when she just woke up. This was too sudden; she hadn't even had breakfast yet!

Chiba took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I'm ready, Orochimaru-sensei."

"Let's begin then, start the timer."

Qianyu rushed out instantly, striking the snake's body with her hands.

The snakes struck by Qianyu all turned into smoke and disappeared.

Orochimaru arrived at the edge of the training ground, sat on the chair that had been prepared beforehand, and continued reading the ninjutsu scroll he hadn't finished reading.

A minute passed quickly, and Qianyu still felt quite relaxed.

It's only been a minute.

Just as Chiyu was about to report to Orochimaru that the minute had passed, Orochimaru, without even looking up, said, "Continue."

Chiyu continued to strike the snake.

Minute after minute, another minute passed.

Qianyu had no idea how many minutes she had passed.

Orochimaru is always those two words.

"continue."

The snakes on the training field have changed several times.

After a while, Qianyu stopped asking and started a new minute on her own.

At first, Chiyu was quite relaxed, but the longer it went on, the more tired she became.

Qianyu got up at five o'clock in the morning to start training, and it's almost ten o'clock now.

This one-minute training session is still ongoing.

Qianyu's speed slowed down, her steps became heavier, and she was bitten by the snake several times.

Fortunately, these snakes weren't poisonous; if they had, Qianyu would have died countless times over.

However, when Chiba was bitten by a snake for the first time, Orochimaru allowed her to awaken her Sharingan for training.

After activating the Sharingan, the increased dynamic vision made Chiba's training a bit easier.

However, the Sharingan couldn't increase Chiba's stamina, and the snakes remained fast, so the training, which had been easy for a short time, became difficult again.

Since Chiba stopped asking questions, Orochimaru had been staring at the ninjutsu scroll, as if he had forgotten about him, which really annoyed Chiba.

Qianyu was distracted and was instantly bitten on the arm by a snake.

Just as Chiyu shook off the snake and was about to continue for another minute, Orochimaru's voice came: "Let's end the taijutsu training here."

Chiba had never found Orochimaru's hoarse voice so pleasant, and immediately collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.

This training may seem simple, and it is indeed simple, but it is extremely demanding in terms of accuracy, concentration, endurance, and speed.

Especially the eyes.

Qianyu's eyes were sore and dry from staring intently at the snake's movements, and she could see double.

Orochimaru closed the scroll in his hand, stood up and walked to Chiba.

Orochimaru began to explain his problem to Chiba: "Your problem is very big. Your speed and endurance are entirely due to the stimulation of your body by Lightning Release chakra, which activates your body."

Without the boost from Lightning Release chakra, you could initially hit about 120 snakes per minute, or about two snakes per second. This speed was quite good compared to your peers, but for someone like you who pursues speed, this efficiency was completely inadequate.

As for your stamina, after an hour, your speed in hitting snakes will begin to decrease significantly. In other words, in the battle, after an hour, your combat power will be greatly reduced.

Your concentration was barely acceptable; you were bitten by the snake about two hours later. However, your use of the Sharingan was terrible.

The awakening of the Sharingan has enhanced your dynamic vision. Therefore, you no longer need to focus only on the few snakes in front of you as you did before you awakened the Sharingan. You should make full use of your dynamic vision to judge the movements of more snakes around you and react in advance.

You rely too much on the buffs from lightning chakra. What you need to do now is work hard to improve your physical fitness. Once your physical fitness is improved, using lightning chakra to activate your body will greatly increase your speed and endurance.

Therefore, in addition to our current physical training, we will also add strength training tomorrow morning.

When Orochimaru explained his problem, Chiba humbly accepted everything.
