As soon as Kuroto entered the secret room, she saw the figure of Orochimaru sitting on a chair and reading the contents on the scroll.
Realizing that Kuroto was entering, Orochimaru spoke in his typical hoarse voice, “Kuroto-Kun, I doubt it.”
“What is it, Orochimaru-Sama!?” – asked Kuroto while still standing at the door.
Orochimaru was in no hurry to speak anything, just tossing the scroll he read a moment ago towards Kuroto with a curious expression.
Capturing the scroll, Kuroto opened it and read the information recorded inside.
The information recorded on the scroll was about himself, the latest news recorded was about the mission in charge of Team-11 ‘ to hunt the defecting nin, Uchiha Shinichi.’
After reading everything, Kuroto folded back the scroll and said with an innocent smile, “It looks like you have paid a little attention to me, Orochimaru-Sama.”
Orochimaru licked his lips and added an extra circle around his mouth while saying, “You have grown so fast that I fear I cannot ignore you, Kuroto-Kun!”
Kuroto nodded calmly, “Thank you for the compliment, Orochimaru-Sama!”
Orochimaru was a little hesitant at this moment, as Kuroto's calmness made him feel a little strange.
Compared to the rest of the World, Orochimaru had a better understanding of the Shinobi named Hyuga Kuroto, however, the boy had been nurtured by him, and he understood the character of the boy very well.
Initially, Orochimaru took Hyuga Kuroto under his wing because he remembered his own childhood, and considering Kuroto's parents were his subordinates, Orochimaru decided to take the child under him.
His talent as a researcher was only an added advantage.
Surprisingly Kuroto-Kun keeps reminding his younger self the more he interacts with the boy, the only problem is the boy's talent as a shinobi.
Orochimaru knew that this world was cruel, what could a child with such a small talent like a Shinobi do to survive…? He had to find out .. There was a reason behind it.
Although Hyuga Kuroto was not a very talented child, unlike him. The boy still had a look of despair in his eyes, this always convinced Orochimaru that the boy would grow up.
Why is Orochimaru so sure?
Because Orochimaru knew that the boy was just like him!
And look what we have here..The kid who used to be so scared of him when he started out as a genin...has grown into someone who has the confidence to fight him?
Orochimaru would never reveal it, but he was very proud of his disciple, and somewhere in his heart Orochimaru knew that this child was the only straw that still connected him with Humanity.
But anyway, there was still a need to test the boy, Orochimaru knew that Kuroto-Kun had become the Jinchuriki of the Dragon Vein, so it was time for him to test his disciple, and see if Kuroto was ready to graduate.
Of course, Kuroto is unaware of Orochimaru's thoughts.
After all, it wasn't his style!
Orochimaru is a cruel cold snake that will do anything to achieve its goal!
And to that end, she acted, witnessing Hyuga Kuroto's growth was just good entertainment for her.
After groaning slightly, Orochimaru asked, “I heard you not only fought against Uchiha Shinichi but even defeated him?”
Kuroto grinned when she heard this question and only nodded slightly, “I did fight with her for a while, but to say that I defeated her would be an exaggeration, after all, you should realize that Uchiha Shinichi has awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, so even if I have grown strong, how can I defeat someone like him, right Orochimaru-Sama?”
Orochimaru's questions about Shinichi Uchiha were within Kuroto's expectations, and Kuroto suspected that Orochimaru was targeting Shinichi's Mangekyou Sharingan.
After all, in the original plot, it was only after Itachi joined Akatsuki that it tempted Orochimaru to become impatient and attack him.
So, Shinichi who appeared in Akatsuki with the same situation would obviously tease Orochimaru.
And just as Kuroto had expected, Orochimaru asked, “So, what is the ability of his Mangekyou Sharingan?”
Kuroto shook his head with an exaggerated expression, “I don't know Orochimaru-Sama, other than the fact that Orochimaru-Sama is so powerful that no one in Konoha is able to stop him, no obvious details, no one in Konoha is able to stop him, it's actually very confusing. ”
“Is that so?” – asks Orochimaru with a sharp gaze.
“Yes! Even Shimura Danzo had to avoid it, initially.” – Kuroto nodded without losing his composure.
“Huh! Looks like I have to find another way!” – Orochimaru said coldly with an expression of disdain.
Kuroto did not know if the insulting gaze was directed at Danzo or Shinichi.
At this time Kuroto said, “Orochimaru-Sama if you are planning to deal with Uchiha Shinichi, I advise you to be more careful towards him!”
Since Kuroto needed to inquire about intelligence on Hiruko and go further, she needed a secret technique from Hiruko, therefore she did not want Orochimaru to leave Akatsuki too early, so she did not want to, kuroto therefore suggested this.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes towards Kuroto and asked with a ferocious grin, “Oh, and why are you saying that, Kuroto-Kun? It's not that I'm chasing after Uchiha Shinichi specifically, is it?”
Kuroto just shrugged at this question, “It is not strange for you to pursue it, the research value of the Mangekyou Sharingan is well understood, and given your purpose, it is not strange to develop an interest in the Mangekyou Sharingan, the research value of the Mangekyou Sharingan is well understood, and given your purpose, it is not strange to develop an interest in the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then you asked me about Uchiha Shinichi's ability, so it's not hard to guess!”
As soon as Kuroto finished his explanation, “True..” – Orochimaru muttered. And raising his hand, he shot several shadow snakes towards him.
Kuroto did not dodge, only stretched his hand forward as Kusanagi Sword emerged from his Kimono cuff and he swung the sword very precisely.
Orochimaru was not surprised by this and said with a thoughtful expression, “It looks like you have broken ‘Caged Bird's Seal’!”
Orochimaru was convinced of this because if that was not the case, then Kuroto would never dare to face him.
After all, as long as Orochimaru revealed Hyuga Kuroto's identity as a spy, even if Orochimaru did nothing else, Kuroto would definitely die by the Caged Bird Seal.
Therefore, Orochimaru was very curious about it.
After dealing with all the snakes, Kuroto just stood still, disagreeing or denying.
Noticing Kuroto's silence, Orochimaru licked his lips again and said, “You really are becoming more and more attractive Kuroto-Kun, let me see how many secrets you are trying to hide!”
With that said, he quickly formed a hand seal and shouted, “Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!”
And instantly, the entire secret room was filled with poisonous snakes.
Sizzle... Sizzle... Sizzle... Sizzle..... Sizzle..... Sizzle........ Sizzle…
No sound other than hiss reached Kuroto's ears.
Without wasting any more time, Kuroto immediately took out the gas mask from the storage coils.
After putting the Gas Mask on his face, Kuroto activated the Tenseigan.
Kuroto specially prepared this gas mask before he left for the Land of Sound. After all, he knew a lot of Orochimaru's techniques, so he would naturally guard them.
In the Tenseigan's vision, Kuroto immediately realizes Orochimaru's position and walks towards him with Kusanagi's Sword tapping on his shoulder.
hissing…
The snakes kept coming towards Kuroto, but without exception, they all fell under Kuroto's sword.
If such a thing had happened in the past, Kuroto would obviously have used ‘ Heaven Spinning’ to survive, but after having experienced so many battles and life-threatening situations since he woke up the Tenseigan, he said, Kuroto is on the rise.
Plus, the joint exercises Team-11 did have improved Kenjutsu Kuroto's skills, due to repeated sparring with Kakashi, Shisui, and Guy.
However Orochimaru sneered as Kuroto approached him, and immediately spat out his Kusanagi Sword from his stomach.
Accompanied by the sound of the wind cutting through, the sword blade extended out at super fast speed and slashed towards Kuroto.
Kuroto did not dare to be rash and immediately greeted him.
Clang…
As soon as the two swords met, a sharp sound from the metallic clashing sounded throughout the hiding place.
Orochimaru was a little surprised that Kuroto could withstand the slash with his sword and asked suspiciously, “Sword Kusanagi?”
Kuroto immediately made use of this short gap and immediately rushed towards Orochimaru.
Dangtang .. Dangtang .. Dangtang …
The two did not speak anymore, nor did they back down, and continued the fight of Kenjutsu.
Cut…
The explosion…
From just the sword slashes of both parties, the secret room started to break down, as the items stored in the room were dismembered by the sword wind.
Immediately, the candles mounted on the wall were cut into pieces and the room turned into darkness, but the battle between the two did not stop.
Tick ... Clang .. BOOM …
After a while, the secret room finally could not resist the clash between the two and collapsed.
Along with the smoke and dust, two figures emerged from it.
Glancing at the opposite direction of Orochimaru who was just standing lazily with one hand on his waist and waving his sword, Kuroto said with a smile, “As expected, , I still can't compare to Orochimaru-Sama in terms of pure Kenjutsu skills, even after I've withstood.every one of your attacks, some attacks still work!”
Orochimaru grinned coldly, “Don't be too humble Kuroto-Kun, taijutsu skills, and Kenjutsumu has made a huge improvement, and if I count correctly, your fifteen attacks managed to slash at me… it was an incredible amount.. as expected of someone. praised as the most genius Hyuga..you really have become strong.but enough with chat...it is almost time!”.
Kuroto was confused and asked doubtfully while tilting her head to the side, “Time for what?”
Tapping on the flat surface of the sword on his shoulder, Orochimaru hoarsely said, “You don't think that just because you're wearing a mask, you won't be affected by the poison that's in the air, is it Kuroto-Kun?”
“Oh, do you mean this?” After a short pause, Kuroto nodded and explained, “Maybe you will be disappointed with the result because even if my skin absorbs toxins, a low amount will not have much effect on me!”
