Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 41 Orochimaru and Might Guy

In the training grounds of Konoha.

One by one, the ninjas wearing green vests were all in position.

Some ninjas were also stationed around the perimeter to prevent other villagers from investigating.

After all, there are still spies in the village.

Among the ninjas standing in the training ground.

Many of them are very young.

Orochimaru's eyes were downcast.

These young children make up half of the group.

They were also among the kids who were forced to graduate early.

The teaching at ninja academies is primarily educational, while becoming a ninja focuses on missions, and the growth rate is much faster than at ninja academies.

A year of training has indeed made them a formidable force.

They had also seen blood during the mission, so they wouldn't be too afraid of life-or-death battles.

Doing missions and going to the battlefield are two different things.

He didn't think these children would survive on the battlefield.

He now feels that what he's doing is leading them to their deaths.

But these were the few remaining resources in the village.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi graduated from the Ninja Academy early, he still had some conscience and did not send him to the battlefield immediately, but instead served as a defensive force for the village.

To save his conscience, he shifted the blame onto Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't care at all.

"Gentlemen, for the sake of Konoha, may our martial prowess be assured!"

"For Konoha! May the martial arts prosper!" the crowd shouted in unison. Judging from their excited expressions, they were clearly unaware that they were heading to the most dangerous battlefield.

Orochimaru had no words left to boost morale, and he didn't even speak to some of the younger ninjas.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals and don't care about these things, but Orochimaru is a human, and humans inevitably act on emotions.

But the impact of his emotions on him was only somewhat limited.

Just as he was about to set off with his men.

The ninjas guarding the training grounds became confused.

Sounds came from the chaotic area.

"I want to see Orochimaru, the Jonin! I want to go to the front lines!"

Orochimaru frowned. All the forces the village could muster were here; the rest were just ninjas guarding the village.

Or perhaps they were ninjas who were utterly useless on the battlefield.

I heard a commotion outside.

The Jonin next to Orochimaru was kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Orochimaru is a useless genin with no ninja talent. I'll get rid of him immediately."

The ninja knew who had arrived.

However, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

"I'm quite curious, how could a useless genin attract the attention of a jonin like you?"

Sweat beaded on the forehead of the ninja kneeling on the ground.

He cursed inwardly.

"Damn Might Guy, can't he just stay in the village peacefully?"

Orochimaru asked the question regardless of the Jonin's motives.

"Bring him to see me."

"Yes!" The Jonin could only agree and headed towards the chaotic guard post.

He soon came over with Matt Day.

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"I didn't expect to see someone familiar. It's been a long time, Dai-kun."

Might Guy knelt down in front of Orochimaru with some surprise.

"I didn't expect Orochimaru, the Jonin, to still remember me."

"Dai Jun's physical skills used to leave a deep impression on me."

The two were classmates at the Ninja Academy.

Back then, when the Second Hokage was still alive, Might Guy belonged to Team A.

However, after the Second Hokage passed away, Might Guy was relegated to Team C because of his poor ninjutsu talent.

After that, I haven't seen him wear it much.

Orochimaru sighed inwardly, realizing that everything had changed since they last met.

time flies.

"Lord Orochimaru, please let me join your party. I also want to fight for Konoha." Might Guy knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Lord Orochimaru, Might Guy has absolutely no talent in ninjutsu. He's just a taijutsu ninja, and his wife just gave birth to a child."

The ninja who was stopping Might Guy also spoke up at the same time, doing everything in his power to prevent Might Guy from entering the battlefield.

"It's a pity, Dai Jun, you are of no use on the battlefield. Physical skills alone are not enough on the battlefield."

Orochimaru shook his head regretfully, unsure whether the ninja who stopped Might Guy was acting out of goodwill or malice.

A ninja who focuses solely on taijutsu (physical techniques).

On the battlefield, they are not even cannon fodder; a barrage of ninjutsu can wipe them out instantly.

Do you really think everyone is like Uchiha Kin?

"Lord Orochimaru, I can now use ninjutsu."

Matt Day was not willing to give up.

"Look."

His hands clumsily began to form hand seals.

Instantly, everyone swarmed around, all pulling out their weapons.

Making hand seals in front of the commander at this time would certainly be considered an attack.

Orochimaru raised his hand to stop everyone, squinting at Might Guy's clumsy hand seals.

If Orochimaru hadn't acted quickly enough, Might Guy would have been killed instantly.

Watching the speed at which the hand seals were applied.

The hand seals for a transformation spell took almost twenty seconds to form.

Everyone else shook their heads and sighed. At that speed of hand seal formation, they couldn't even stabilize their chakra, let alone successfully complete the hand seals.

Amidst the mocking gazes of everyone.

Matt Damon grinned, showing his teeth.

Thank you for your support of my efforts!

"Transformation Technique!"

"Bang!"

Might Guy became exactly like Orochimaru.

This surprised everyone.

Even the ninjas who knew Might Guy were surprised.

In their minds, Might Guy was someone who couldn't do anything except for physical skills.

What's most surprising is that the seal, which should have failed, actually succeeded.

"How is this possible?!"

"The hand seals are so slow, and the chakra is so unstable! How could it possibly succeed?!"

"Cheating, please! But how can you cheat with this kind of ninjutsu?!"

Everyone was shocked by Might Guy's hand seals.

Besides wanting to quickly perform ninjutsu, the purpose of forming hand seals quickly is also to ensure that ninjutsu can be used smoothly during periods of stable chakra.

If you keep performing hand seals for a long time, your chakra will not be as stable as it was at the beginning.

This performance also made Orochimaru narrow his eyes, as he sensed traces of basic internal energy cultivation.

The battle merits required for basic internal skills are getting higher and higher now, and they are not something that an ordinary genin can easily exchange for.

Orochimaru had some guesses about where the other party got it from.

It also reminded him of something someone had once said.

"I'm only average when it comes to taijutsu. But I do know someone in the village who, if he fought desperately, could not even stop the Third Hokage with just taijutsu."

But he had never heard of such a person before.

"Dai-kun, do you know Uchiha Kin?"

"Golden boy, huh?" Might Guy scratched his head, revealing his kind front teeth, and gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"He's an extraordinary person."

really.

Orochimaru licked his lips with his snake-like tongue.

He seems to have found the man with the strongest physical skills that Jin had mentioned.

"Dai Jun, if you want to go to the front lines, we need to test your abilities."

"My lord, let me do it."

The ninja who had been stopping Might Guy spoke up quickly.

"No." Orochimaru said with a smile.

"I'm here to test Dai Jun's abilities."
