Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 149 Scientific Spirit

Orochimaru was speechless at how quickly Chiga broke free from the illusion.

He really hadn't seriously looked at Chiga's information.

It was just a sudden whim after seeing Chiga.

However, he didn't seem to care much, putting on an innocent expression and saying with a smile, "Just a little trick to get you to agree to this deal!"

"Yeah."

Qianhe narrowed his eyes, picked up the Gale and slashed downwards, instantly cutting a small snake with its mouth open at his feet in half.

"Then, esteemed Lord Orochimaru, what is the matter with this little snake?"

Chiga looked at Orochimaru with disdain. With so many underhanded tricks, it's no wonder he has no chance of becoming Hokage.

Compared to Minato, Orochimaru is more suited to do Danzo's job.

"It's just a small trick! Since you won't cooperate, I'll have to take it myself!"

Orochimaru's attempt to abduct Orochimaru failed, and in a fit of rage, he tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and instantly a small snake appeared inside.

The small snake slowly spat out a sword, which Orochimaru grabbed and pulled out.

"Huh~"

Chiga and Sarutobi Asuma both exclaimed upon seeing this.

As expected, compared to freaks, everyone else is a level below Orochimaru.

Before the two could react, Orochimaru had already charged towards Chika and Sarutobi Asuma.

Clang!

A metallic clang echoed down the corridor.

Then a series of fighting sounds rang out.

In the darkness, the two figures clashed, their swords flashing, like dancing snakes battling against the drifting wind.

Chiga's movements were as nimble as the wind, and his swordsmanship was light and sharp, with each swing accompanied by the crisp sound of wind chimes.

Clang clang!

That brat.

Orochimaru became increasingly surprised as the fight progressed.

His eyes gleamed with an unusual light in the darkness, his interest growing ever stronger.

Chiga didn't notice this, but he rarely encountered anyone who could rival him in swordsmanship.

This fight, ironically, made Chiga quite excited.

Chiga ducked and swept the ball horizontally.

Seeing this, Orochimaru could only jump away to avoid it.

The moment he landed, Chiga followed closely behind and stabbed Orochimaru in the chest.

puff!

Chiga's Gale pierced Orochimaru's chest without any hindrance, yet not a drop of blood flowed out.

Orochimaru, who had been pierced by Chiga, gave a strange laugh. His body slowly melted into a puddle of mud, and then countless tadpole-like characters emerged, spreading along with the sword energy to Chiga's entire body.

Oh no, it's a sealing technique!

Before Qianhe could even feel joy, his expression changed. He felt as if his body was bound by invisible steel cables, unable to move.

"Got you!"

The real Orochimaru slowly emerged from underground, his eyes burning with fervor as he looked at Chiga.

Chiga struggled for a few moments under Orochimaru's murderous gaze, realizing that it would be difficult to break free of the sealing jutsu in the short term. She then forced an awkward but dignified smile: "Um, Lord Orochimaru, is it too late for me to surrender now?"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly: "Heh, Chiga-san, do you really think that's possible?"

As he spoke, Orochimaru took out a scroll from his pocket, unsealed it, and took out a syringe. He gestured with it a couple of times, not quite satisfied with the size, and then picked up an even larger and thicker syringe before nodding in satisfaction.

Looking at the thick needle hole, Chiga broke out in a cold sweat.

Orochimaru is such a pervert! It's one thing to have an ambiguous relationship with Jiraiya, but he even had to give him injections at such a young age!

"Relax, I'll be right there!"

Orochimaru offered Chiga a word of comfort and then aimed the syringe at Chiga's arm.

"You're a pervert!"

With a roar, Qianhe no longer held back, and a large amount of chakra surged out from his body, instantly shattering the black tadpole-like patterns that covered his entire body.

After regaining control of his body, Chiga didn't hesitate and swept his Gale Blade towards Orochimaru.

Nani?

They broke free?!

Orochimaru was clearly shocked that Chiga could unleash such powerful chakra. His body twisted in shock as he dodged Chiga's sword strike.

Seeing this, Chiga clenched his other fist, adjusted his posture, and threw a punch.

boom!

Orochimaru took a direct hit from Chiga's punch and was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

[Negative emotions from Orochimaru, Emotional Value +10. First time receiving Orochimaru's emotional value, rewarded with Scientific Spirit Talent!]

"Thank goodness, that injection would have drained me dry!"

While Chiga was startled, she was also secretly delighted!

Previously, when he and Kushina stole Orochimaru's experimental materials, Orochimaru was never angry.

He either vented his anger on Kushina, or he simply didn't care about the other test subjects.

Now that a single punch could produce such an effect, Chiga couldn't help but feel it was worth it.

"Chika, how are you?"

Just then, Kushina came out of the room. She had also heard Chiga's roar and rushed out immediately.

"Kushina-sensei, I'm alright. Did you succeed?"

Chiga shook his head, then asked.

"Um!"

"Okay, let's get out of here quickly!"

As Chiga spoke, he took Kushina's hand.

Since he received the emotional points, it means Orochimaru was angered by him. If he stays, he might really be drained dry by Orochimaru.

At the same time, a sword shadow flew rapidly from the darkness, but unfortunately, it could only pierce the wall in the face of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Chiga and Kushina were startled and quickly dodged to the side.

"Kusanagi Sword!"

Kushina gasped in surprise as she looked at the katana that had suddenly grown longer.

Seeing Orochimaru emerge with a grim face and murderous intent, Kushina quickly shouted, "Orochimaru, do you want to kill me? Let me tell you, I have very powerful connections, so think carefully!"

"."

Orochimaru looked at Kushina and Chika without saying a word.

Seeing that Orochimaru seemed intimidated by her, Kushina hurriedly whispered to Chiga, "Let's go! If he gets us tied up, we'll have to spend the night in the Anbu!"

Chiga nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she stared directly into Orochimaru's gloomy gaze.

After a long while, under Kushina's questioning gaze, Chiga stuck out her tongue.

"Hehehe!"

Kushina rolled her eyes at Chiga, mischievous!

Swish!

Chiga and Kushina disappeared.

Orochimaru did not stop him, or rather, he knew that stopping him would be useless against the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Looking in the direction where the two disappeared, Orochimaru glanced again at Sarutobi Asuma, who had been completely invisible.

Sarutobi Asuma: "." I haven't gotten on the bus yet!

Before long, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived with a group of Anbu members.

This place is also considered important. Although its defense level is not as high as that of the Book of Sealing, its importance is self-evident.

"Orochimaru, what happened?"

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived, he asked Orochimaru a question.

"It was Kushina Uzumaki and Chiga who infiltrated."

Orochimaru gave a simple reply.

"What brought them here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again.

"From what Kushina said, it was for the Four-Tails' chakra."

Orochimaru hasn't entered the lab yet, so he doesn't know what's missing, but he still remembers what Kushina said earlier.

He didn't believe Kushina would lie; the most important thing in this laboratory was the Four-Tails' chakra.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and pondered, "What would she need that thing for?"

After thinking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and just looked at his silly son.

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

Before, when it was just Kushina, it was okay for her to do something outrageous.

With the addition of Chiga, the power increased considerably, but that was still about it.

But now, both of them actually know they need to find a scapegoat.

The techniques are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

"Hmph! I was the one who started it all!"

Faced with his father's disdainful gaze, Sarutobi Asuma turned his head away unhappily.

Dude, I'm taking this responsibility for Chiga and Kushina today. What are you going to do with me?

Five days later, at the barbecue restaurant.

The Chiga Squad, Kushina, and Minato, a total of nine people, sat together.

Kushina patted Sarutobi Asuma's shoulder enthusiastically and said generously, "Come on, Asuma, what do you want to eat today? Order whatever you like, it's on me!"

"And also, for your act of loyalty, from now on, I, Kushina, will protect you and promise I won't let that old man beat you up like that again!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma's face was swollen like a steamed bun, and he was still limping.

But it's much better than a few days ago; at least I can get out of bed.

Sarutobi Asuma glanced at Kushina, then at Chiga, and mumbled, "You said it yourselves, and I'm going to eat you into bankruptcy today!"

Faced with Sarutobi Asuma's resentful gaze, Chiga awkwardly turned her head away.

After he and Kushina left that night, he realized he had forgotten about Sarutobi Asuma.

After all, it used to be just the two of them, so suddenly having another person around feels a bit strange.

In addition, Sarutobi Asuma didn't have much of a presence.

So when I left, I really forgot about Sarutobi Asuma.

Chiga swears that she absolutely did not do it on purpose!

Kushina and Chiga felt guilty towards Sarutobi Asuma about this matter, which is why they decided to treat him to a big meal today to make amends.

Originally, the barbecue was intended to be a private meal for Sarutobi Asuma, but considering the size of the team, Chiga also invited Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune. As for Minato...

This is what real payment looks like!

Kushina did say she would treat everyone, but Minato and Kushina were one entity.

With her boyfriend already there, there's no reason for Kushina to pay.

Kushina really did as she said, ordering a huge amount of grilled meat.

Minato, who was standing beside her, hesitated, then could only sigh and say nothing.

Enjoying the free barbecue, Chika was in a good mood and couldn't help but ask Minato, "By the way, Minato-senpai, has Lord Jiraiya returned from the Land of Wind?"
