Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 148 Snake's Temptation

Just as Kushina was about to open the door and enter the laboratory, a cold voice rang out.

"As expected, the only ones from Konoha who would dare to show their faces here are the two of you."

Chiga and the other two were startled and turned around in unison. They saw a tall, slender figure standing on the other side of the passage – it was Orochimaru.

Orochimaru stood with his arms crossed, a purple eyeshadow extending to his nose on his pale face, adorned with magatama earrings, and his golden pupils resembling those of some kind of reptile.

He exuded a chilling aura.

Unexpectedly, they actually encountered the worst situation and were caught red-handed by Orochimaru.

Kushina and Chika exchanged a glance, somewhat relieved that they had brought Sarutobi Asuma along.

"What? Running out of experimental materials? Trying to steal a few more from me?"

Orochimaru watched the three with interest, his hoarse and magnetic voice possessing an unusual charm. When he saw Sarutobi Asuma, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Haha, Lord Orochimaru, you're joking! We didn't touch your test subjects! It was Jiraiya who did it!"

Kushina chuckled upon hearing this. She and Chika usually waited until Orochimaru was away before stealing his experimental materials.

So he had never actually had a direct confrontation with Orochimaru, and now that he had been caught red-handed, he immediately felt a sense of unease.

"I can still recognize that idiot's handwriting, Kushina!"

Orochimaru pulled a slip of paper from his pocket and casually tossed it to Chiga.

Chiga reached out and took it. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the very note he had written in imitation of Jiraiya's.

Goodness, it's been preserved for so long, it seems Orochimaru has been remembering this all along!

"I knew it! The fact that he could recognize the white-haired pervert's handwriting so easily meant there was definitely something fishy about their relationship!"

Kushina whispered in Chiga's ear, but even her soft voice was perfectly clear to Orochimaru's hearing.

"Kushina, don't put me with that idiot!"

Orochimaru's eyes turned cold instantly, and at the same time, the doorknob of the gate through the Four-Tails' chakra suddenly turned back into a small snake.

It opened its mouth and bit at Kushina's neck.

With quick reflexes, Chiga drew his Gale Blade and cleaved the snake in two.

Seeing this, Kushina immediately rolled her eyes at Orochimaru. It was unreasonable that he liked Jiraiya in a way that was unclear and caused misunderstandings, and then wouldn't let people talk about it!

Of course, she didn't dare to provoke Orochimaru anymore.

However, she wouldn't let Orochimaru get away with it so easily.

Once this is over, I'll go back and complain to Tsunade that Orochimaru bullied her! I'll ask Tsunade to discipline her companion properly.

Oh, and while you're at it, bring that white-haired monster along too!

Jiraiya: (╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴

Orochimaru on the other side was also having a headache. Although Kushina didn't dare to be too presumptuous towards him, he also didn't dare to do anything to Kushina.

The fact that he could provoke Danzo, Jiraiya, and himself so brazenly in the village without any consequences suggests that his identity is far from simple.

He already had some guesses in his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Orochimaru licked his lips with his snake-like tongue and said, "Kushina Uzumaki, do you know that this place is not just for my experimental subjects? If you try to force your way in, even Sarutobi-sensei can't protect you!"

"Tch, it's just the Four-Tails' chakra. I came here today to see what the Four-Tails' chakra is like!"

Kushina didn't seem to care at all, as if she were someone who could be easily scared.

"Oh? So you're going to force your way in?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's chilling aura intensified.

Chiga and Kushina exchanged a glance, then Kushina turned around, kicked open the door, and rushed inside.

Hidden Serpent Limbs!

Seeing this, Orochimaru immediately launched an attack, suddenly stretching out one hand forward.

Several snakes hidden in Orochimaru's sleeve flew towards Chiba in an instant.

Faced with the sudden attack, Chiga reacted extremely quickly. Two tomoe appeared on his dark pupils, and with a swift movement, he sliced ​​several snakes in half.

After dealing with the snakes, Chiga pulled Sarutobi Asuma in front of him.

"Asuma, we have a job to do!"

Sarutobi Asuma "." I'm fucking idiot!

Previously, Sarutobi Asuma thought he could take down one of the Anbu members by launching a sneak attack.

But now that we're facing Orochimaru, isn't it a bit absurd to ask me to get involved again?

However, Asuma finally understood his role.

shield!

Chiga and Kushina must have calculated that Orochimaru wouldn't dare to kill them with him around, which is why they brought him here.

Seeing this, Orochimaru actually stopped his attack and looked at Chiga with great interest.

"Speaking of which, your name is Uchiha Chiga, right? We haven't officially met yet, have we?"

Seeing that Orochimaru wasn't attacking, Chiga asked somewhat warily, "Lord Orochimaru, what do you want to say?"

Since the other party wanted to chat, Chiga was happy to oblige, since his current goal was simply to buy Kushina some time.

However, Chiga still needs to be extremely vigilant.

The other party is the notorious number one kidnapper in the ninja world.

Chiga's age perfectly matches Orochimaru's requirements for kidnapping him.

Who knows if Orochimaru's words might contain some kind of trap?

If you fall into their trap, you could be illegally imprisoned, subjected to S&M, or even merged with Orochimaru—anything is possible!

Seemingly sensing Chiga's wariness, Orochimaru smiled and slowly said, "It's nothing, I just want to make a deal with you."

"Oh? I wonder what I have that Orochimaru is interested in. Please tell me, and I'll change!"

Chiga really didn't want Orochimaru to have his eye on her, so she quickly and solemnly promised.

"Can your bloodline be changed too?" Orochimaru licked his lips and explained, "I know something about your Uchiha clan. The extreme negative emotions brought about by awakening the Sharingan can plunge your clan into darkness."

"But you are truly an unexpected existence. I really want to see what's so special about you."

"If you can provide me with 500 milliliters of blood every month, I'll pretend you were never here tonight, how about it?"

Orochimaru's magnetic voice carried an indescribable allure.

Chiga almost agreed, but quickly realized what was happening.

"Lord Orochimaru, did you not finish reading my file?!"

Chiga shook his head slightly, dispelling Orochimaru's genjutsu, and sneered.

At the same time, he looked at Orochimaru with the same eyes one would give a pervert.

Good heavens, even someone as skilled in auditory illusions as him almost fell for it.

As expected of a kidnapper in the ninja world, one really can't afford to be careless.
