4 Chapter 4
Orochimaru held quite a grudge against his own teacher.
Fortunately, Orochimaru seemed to realize that he was an adult, and there had to be a limit to speaking ill of others behind their back, especially not to show an immature side in front of a teenager.
"In any case..."
"My teacher is not a kind person..."
"If you encounter the Third Hokage in Konoha, you must stay away from that old man. He is best at beguiling people's minds, people are always easily brainwashed by his sweet talk..."
But...
Lord Orochimaru...
You are quite good at brainwashing people too...
A sarcastic thought couldn't help but cross Kagura Akihara's mind.
"Perhaps..."
Orochimaru seemed to think of something, smiling faintly, "I don't need to worry about this issue. Danzo absolutely would not dare to let you get close to the Third Hokage..."
Orochimaru placed his hand on Kagura Akihara's shoulder, with an unusual touch of seriousness on his face, "Kagura, you are my most perfect creation. The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, is known as the God of Shinobi, and you have almost perfectly assimilated with his cells. You are the most talented child of this era..."
"..."
The young man nodded silently.
He had known this before he underwent the Wood Release experiments. Otherwise, why would he risk undergoing human experimentation? So, what about Danzo?
Fortunately.
Orochimaru did not forget Kagura Akihara's question. He casually chatted about Danzo Shimura, seeming not to think highly of his own investor.
However, Kagura Akihara listened very carefully.
Danzo Shimura was his future boss after all!
Especially considering that this guy was undoubtedly the most troublesome boss in Konoha. It was very necessary to find out about the boss's preferences in advance for the future work!
Danzo Shimura.
The Hokage's aide in Konoha.
A short-sighted yet ambitious old man.
Due to the fact that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura were life-and-death comrades in their youth, the Third Hokage treated Danzo Shimura with great leniency, gave Danzo considerable power, and secretly allowed Danzo to handle Konoha's dirty troubles.
"..."
The young Kagura Akihara felt that Orochimaru was a bit unfair.
The bit of information Orochimaru shared was actually less than what he knew himself, which made him wonder how he was going to work in Konoha in the future!
Clearly.
Orochimaru did not notice this.
Orochimaru thought that the young Kagura Akihara probably wouldn't like the gloomy old fellow, Danzo Shimura, so he wanted to talk to Kagura Akihara about some of the children he had been observing in Konoha...
"There's a very interesting child in Konoha..."
"That little guy showed remarkable talent from a young age, and also happened to possess a bloodline limit that is a natural enemy to the Wood Release..."
"Who?"
The young Kagura Akihara was indeed a bit curious.
In this era of Konoha, there seem to be quite a few geniuses in the village, and the genius that Orochimaru can't forget must not be something ordinary...
"Itachi Uchiha."
Orochimaru uttered a name that was familiar to Kagura Akihara, and continued on his own: "That little guy is a true genius, even in peaceful times, he can't hide his far superior ninja aptitude and talent compared to his peers..."
Orochimaru remembered a scene where he had seen the young Itachi Uchiha training in a training room, and couldn't help but admire the boy's talent: "That child... if it's him, he might be able to awaken a higher level of Sharingan..."
"..."
The expression on the young Kagura Akihara's face was a bit odd.
However, as a professional, Kagura Akihara was very professional, seeing Orochimaru's lingering thoughts on that genius child, he took the initiative to speak out and relieve the concern for his boss.
"If Lord Orochimaru wants to see Itachi Uchiha again, I will find an opportunity in the future and try to bring him to you..."
"Good."
Orochimaru showed an approving look at the sensible boy.
Wood Release and Sharingan, without a doubt, are the best two bloodline limits.
If Kagura Akihara can really bring Itachi Uchiha to him in the future, Orochimaru plans to let the two geniuses fight each other face to face, and he will take over the body of the winner...
As for whether Itachi Uchiha would agree to become a vessel, Orochimaru didn't care, he only needed a look to immobilize Itachi Uchiha...
"..."
The young Kagura Akihara remained extremely respectful on the surface.
If in the future he could actually bring Itachi Uchiha to Orochimaru, Kagura Akihara planned to let Orochimaru and Itachi Uchiha have a face-to-face battle, making Lord Orochimaru recognize the power of the Sharingan, and thereby completely infatuated with the Sharingan...
Moreover...
The system identifies this as a job requested by the boss.
[System Prompt]: [New work task, find an opportunity, bring Itachi Uchiha to Orochimaru.]
This kind of work...
Kagura Akihara swore to do it well!
Even if these two people have met in the future at some places where they shouldn't have, Kagura Akihara must find a way to make them meet again!
Time passed a bit too fast.
Perhaps Orochimaru was too engrossed in his research experiments.
Time passed a bit too slow.
Perhaps Kagura Akihara was too expectant of going to Konoha.
On the fourth day.
Someone finally came to this base.
An old man leaning on a cane appeared around the base, his head wrapped in bandages, even one of his eye sockets was wrapped in a bandage, as if someone had scratched one of his eyes.
Two ninjas followed closely beside the old man, looking around the environment with a vigilant look, fearing that the old man would encounter danger in this base.
"Lord Danzo."
One of the ninjas looked at the scattered rocks all over the ground and advised in a deep voice: "There was a fierce battle here not long ago, Orochimaru might have encountered an enemy, we can't stay here..."
"It's not an enemy."
Orochimaru came out with Kagura Akihara, smiling: "It's just a small disturbance caused by Kagura after a successful experiment..."
"..."
The two ninjas immediately blocked the old man!
Even though they knew there was a connection between the old man and Orochimaru, from an identity point of view, Orochimaru was an S-Class rogue ninja from the village!
Simply by the identity of being a rogue ninja, Orochimaru was a dangerous individual!
"Stand down."
With a single word, the old man dismissed his subordinates, looked at Orochimaru, and slowly said: "It's been a while, Orochimaru, it seems... you've been doing well recently?"
The old man's speech was a bit slow, as if trying to make others listen hard to what he was saying, thereby indicating his superiority.
However, the old man quickly revealed his characteristic. Without waiting for Orochimaru to respond, he turned his gaze to Kagura Akihara beside him and asked in a deep voice, "You just said... the experiment was successful? This child?"
"Yes, it's what you wanted."
Orochimaru's mouth curled up, he slowly said, "Compared to the previous immature work, the Wood Release in Kagura is much stronger..."
"Leave this child to me."
The old man squinted his eyes, his voice carried an unquestionable firmness, "Only Konoha... can wield the power of Wood Release."
