Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 11 First Encounter with Orochimaru

Jin never expected to run into Orochimaru here; his appearance was so sudden.

However, the person he most wanted to meet in Konoha was Orochimaru.

However, this is not Orochimaru from that period.

At this time, Orochimaru was wholeheartedly devoted to the village and had not yet awakened from the brainwashing of the Will of Fire.

His character underwent continuous changes in the later stages, but his final form was the moment he lost to Minato Namikaze and failed to become Hokage.

If he were to pass on his basic internal skills to Orochimaru, the latter would definitely hand them over to the village immediately.

This disrupted all his plans.

Although if the basic internal skills are taught to the village, the speed of dissemination will definitely be faster than if he finds them one by one, and those who can learn them will be elite ninjas.

But the key point is...

His surname is Uchiha, so we have no idea how the village will treat him; most likely, they won't be friendly.

The Konoha leadership is the last thing they want in the Uchiha clan to have a capable member.

Just as Jin remained silent, his thoughts turning over.

Orochimaru's snake-like pupils stared at him, and the murderous aura emanating from him seemed to warn him that if he made any unusual reaction, he would be attacked by Orochimaru.

Even if Orochimaru hasn't reached his peak yet, he's still an elite Jonin.

Even someone as skilled as a Jonin as Gin is no different from an ant in his presence.

Orochimaru asked in a casual tone, as if he didn't care at all.

"Can you tell me why you, who are known for being unable to use ninjutsu, can freely use Shadow Clone Jutsu and Fire Release techniques?"

Damn.

The man in front of him not only witnessed the process of him unleashing his ninjutsu, but also knew who he was.

His reputation is great, but few people know what he looks like. How did Orochimaru find out?

With a mix of trepidation and respect, Jin said calmly, "I never expected that Orochimaru, a Jonin, would know about someone as insignificant as me."

To be recognized by Orochimaru like that, is this some kind of death wish?!

Doesn't this just tell the village that he's haunted?

"This was Danzo's doing, to undermine the prestige of the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru spoke in a flat tone.

This also explains why Uchiha Kin's reputation has spread so widely.

After all, that man hidden in the shadows would stop at nothing to damage the reputation of the Uchiha clan.

"Damn Danzo."

Jin was gritting his teeth; without this troublemaker, his reputation wouldn't have become so tarnished.

Make a note of this debt.

Orochimaru looked at Jin with a mixture of curiosity and doubt. Although Jin maintained the same expression, Orochimaru still noticed the subtle changes in his expression.

"You seem to know about Danzo's existence."

Although Danzo was a high-ranking official in Konoha, he was also Konoha's shadow. Apart from Jonin, no other ninja was qualified to know of Danzo's existence.

Otherwise, how could it be called a root? It is naturally buried deep under the big tree.

They were beings whose death on the surface of Konoha would not cause any panic.

Of course Jin knew Danzo; he was the future 5.5 Hokage, the first Naga-kage.

But because of this, Orochimaru's murderous aura surged even more.

Jin's body stiffened; the peace he had enjoyed for so many years made it impossible for him to escape the pervasive killing intent.

I can only explain it word by word.

"My parents' diaries contain records of this."

Orochimaru's face revealed absolutely no information; concealing a ninja's facial expressions is a fundamental skill for any ninja.

But Jin understood that the other party hadn't believed a single punctuation mark.

Because the murderous intent had intensified.

"I don't think Lord Orochimaru believes the Uchiha clan would be spies!!"

Jin almost shouted it out; it seemed as if he had exhausted all his strength with just that one sentence.

The effect was significant; the murderous aura weakened.

Orochimaru pondered for only a moment before drawing a conclusion.

indeed.

If we were to ask who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village is least likely to betray it, it would undoubtedly be the Uchiha.

For Orochimaru, any family in the village could betray the village if their interests were great enough, mainly because the old guys from the Warring States period weren't all dead yet.

The Uchiha were different; from the old-timers of the Warring States period to the new generation, they all considered Konoha their own.

According to the radical Uchiha faction, Konoha originally belonged to the Uchiha.

They wouldn't give up their own things either.

In Orochimaru's view, although the Uchiha were crazy, they were also the teammates he least had to worry about betraying.

Even if they betray each other openly, such teammates are still closely guarded by the Konoha leadership.

I just don't understand.

"Is it because you're afraid of war?"

Orochimaru's eyes were lowered, making it impossible to discern any change in his expression.

If only Nawaki would also run away out of fear of war.

"No, that's not true!"

Jin, no longer sensing the murderous aura, plopped down on the ground and hurriedly tried to explain himself with a spitting emoji.

"Both of the Ninja Exams involved ninjutsu, and I couldn't use ninjutsu back then. I only recently managed to use it again."

Orochimaru didn't want to hear Kin's explanation and turned to leave.

"Lord Orochimaru, have you ever considered that ninjas can live forever?"

Jin's words made Orochimaru stop in his tracks, turn his head to look at him, his eyes deep.

The dream of immortality had only just begun to sprout in his heart; now he was more focused on pursuing ninjutsu.

No one could possibly know the thoughts that had just been born in his mind.

Jin ignored Orochimaru and continued talking.

"I have developed a ninjutsu that can grant immortality. It allows one to continuously accumulate chakra without causing physical harm. Theoretically, if there is enough chakra, it is possible to achieve immortality."

Moreover, it must be one's own chakra; for example, Jinchuriki borrow the chakra of Tailed Beasts, which can even endanger their lives.

Orochimaru pondered this carefully. Theoretically, this idea was feasible, as ninjas could not live long mainly because they died in battle.

Furthermore, they extract a large amount of their own chakra, which is equivalent to consuming their own life force. Even so, there are many ninjas who can live to be sixty or seventy years old.

"Can I see your technique?"

Orochimaru walked over and pleaded with the blond-haired man.

We should respect the unknown.

"I happen to have one with me." Jin grinned, revealing his white front teeth, and pulled a small notebook from his knife bag.

"But in exchange, would you accept me as your disciple?"

After a quick thought, I realized that he shouldn't be labeled as afraid of war, as it would affect his future actions.

Moreover, the opportunity to face Orochimaru was too rare, and he didn't want to miss it.

Orochimaru might have a different understanding and modification of basic internal energy techniques.

Then create the persona of a genius ninjutsu researcher. As for the subsequent malice from higher-ups, if he becomes Orochimaru's disciple, it will alleviate a lot of the pressure.

Jin had high hopes, but unfortunately things didn't go as he imagined.

Orochimaru paused in his hand holding the notebook, flipping through it as he said, "I have no plans to take on disciples for the time being."

The shadow of Rope Tree's death still looms over him, and he has no plans to take on any more disciples for the time being.

Looking through the contents, he realized that the three stages, which consisted entirely of sealing techniques, were actually the disassembly and fusion of a single seal.

Upon seeing the first seal that had been dismantled, he understood why Uchiha Kin had been unable to use ninjutsu before.

Everything needs no explanation.

This level of skill is not something a child who hasn't even reached adulthood could produce.

His deep eyes looked at the disappointed Jin, who was wearing a sad expression as if she was about to cry.

But in his mind, he was cursing Orochimaru's ancestors for eighteen generations.

No one does things like that.

"A genius who studies ninjutsu? No wonder he's from the Uchiha clan," Orochimaru murmured to himself.

The Uchiha clan has produced a figure similar to the Second Hokage; it's unclear whether this is good or bad for the village.

I will help you keep your secret.

Orochimaru closed the notebook and looked at Jin meaningfully.

"I can't be your teacher, but I'll find you one."

"Bang!" Orochimaru turned into smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Jin looked bewildered. Things had turned out completely differently than he had expected. Orochimaru had actually chosen to help him keep it a secret and was even going to find him a teacher.

"Who is it? You'd better explain yourself clearly."

Ideally, it would be Tsunade; she's beautiful, has a great figure, and is a top expert in human medicine.

Please, don't let it be Jiraiya, the one who chases after his destiny!!

He can't get along with charlatans!

...

Inside the ninja academy.

Minato Namikaze looked at Kim, whose dark circles were almost like a panda's, with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with you? You look so listless."

I haven't seen you for just one day, how did you become like this? It looks like... you've been indulging in... something.

"Don't even mention it," Jin sighed.

Exhausted, he was completely unaware of Minato Namikaze's strange gaze.

He was exhausted yesterday and didn't sleep all night after getting home. He was originally quite happy to switch to the Eight Gates Formation.

But then he ran into Orochimaru.

You should at least tell me who you're looking for as your mentor.

As a result, the person simply vanished without a trace, and he didn't even know where to look for Orochimaru.

After arriving home, he absorbed the memories of learning ninjutsu from his clone and began to continue researching ninjutsu, wanting to complete his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

But later on, he did see where the flaws lay.

It's a matter of size. His body is only so big, but he wants to make the Bagua arrangement super large. Let alone moving to avoid other people's attacks, he can't even achieve the deceptive nature of the Lingbo Weibu itself.

As a result, he had no choice but to abandon Lingbo Weibu and instead develop other techniques.

While lightness skills are impressive, they all rely on one's own body, and the level of skill achieved by ninjas in the general martial arts world is generally unattainable.

Unless it's something like "Martial Arts Chronicles," being stronger than a ninja is feasible, but the descriptions of martial arts in those shows are too vague, lacking specific steps.

I want to create, but I don't know where to begin.

Then we had to choose another approach. After spending an entire night, we finally succeeded in figuring it out.

He will no longer create things like basic internal skills that require gradual improvement.

Once Jin reaches the first level of deduction, he can unleash his full power through his body.

"I didn't sleep all night," Jin said, yawning.

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up after school."

After saying that, Jin lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Inoue Satoru, who was giving a lecture at the front desk, turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Does this student who repeated a grade not respect him?
