Chapter 458 Orochimaru's Concerns

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes moved slightly. Based on his understanding of Danzo Shimura, he did not think that Danzo Shimura dared to clone a clone of Nawaki and let him take part in the Chunin Exam.

You have to know that the current Hokage of Konoha Village is Tsunade. With Tsunade's violent temper, if Danzo dares to do this, Tsunade will turn his roots upside down.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes darkened slightly, and he slowly approached the rope tree without making any sound.

At this time, Orochimaru had temporarily given up other things, because the matter of Rope Tree had now completely occupied his mind.

You know, the reason why Orochimaru disappeared from the ninja world in these years was because he was in seclusion studying the art of immortality.

Once the most proud disciple of the Hokage, and later became one of the famous Three Ninjas, Orochimaru gave up the position of Hokage because he had long turned his interest into the art of immortality, and in order to obtain the necessary experimental materials and information, he even cooperated with Danzo Shimura.

This also shows his enthusiasm for the art of immortality.

Moreover, he has not been without gain over the years, he has even developed the technique of reincarnation. Theoretically, as long as Orochimaru keeps using this technique, he will be able to constantly acquire a younger body and achieve immortality.

However, as the only ninja who knows this technique, Orochimaru has a vague feeling that this forbidden technique he invented must have certain limitations. If he continues to use it, his soul will most likely become damaged and he will eventually die.

Therefore, when Orochimaru saw Rope Tree, he was in a trance for a moment, and then he immediately realized that if Rope Tree really came back to life, then his research value would far exceed that of any experimental subject.

As long as he could figure out the secret of Rope Tree's resurrection, his technique of reincarnation could be improved, and it would be very likely that the fatal side effect could be eliminated.

As Orochimaru approached the rope tree calmly, his heartbeat became faster and faster.

Because under his observation, the Rope Tree in front of him seemed to be real, the disciple he had taught before, because no matter Rope Tree's expression, his body posture, some subtle small movements, and even the chakra breath, were exactly the same as the Rope Tree in his memory.

Orochimaru still has enough confidence in his judgment of these situations. Even among the three ninjas, he is considered the best.

Orochimaru's heart was also a little complicated at this time. After all, the reason why he changed his beliefs was partly because he witnessed the death of Rope Tree, which made him feel the fragility and insignificance of life, and made him change his goal to researching the way to immortality.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru said in his heart:

"Shengshu, it seems that you and I are destined to be on the path to immortality."

Just when Orochimaru was about to make another move, he seemed to sense something, and slowly retracted the step he was about to take. He hid quietly in the shade of a tree, and his aura was suppressed to the lowest, making his presence even weaker.

Chirp~~~

As Orochimaru finished his action, he heard a sound of wind passing quickly over his head, causing Orochimaru to raise his eyes slightly and see Mitarashi Anko who had already arrived at the entrance of the Forest of Death.

"Hongdou, it's been a long time~~"

After seeing this familiar figure, Orochimaru immediately recognized her identity and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Phew, we caught up..."

At this time, Mitarashi Anko was standing on the gate. She looked at the sun above her head with lingering fear, and only felt relieved when she found that she was not late.

After all, many villages are participating in this Chunin Exam, especially the two big villages, Sand Village and Mist Village. If she is late for such an important occasion, it will really bring shame to Konoha Village and her in the entire ninja world. I believe that when that time comes, Lady Tsunade will definitely treat her well.

Thinking of this, Mitarashi Anko wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and shouted:

"Okay, the time is almost up. Anyone who wants to participate in this competition should sign this life and death agreement, and then they can receive the mission scroll..."

Afterwards, Mitarashi Anko briefly introduced the rules of the competition.

At this time, Orochimaru looked at Red Bean not far away, and then looked at the rope tree next to him. Finally, he suppressed his eager heart and planned to go to the Forest of Death to get the rope tree.

After all, although Red Bean's strength was average, she was taught by him personally, and there was also a curse seal planted on her body by him. If Orochimaru wanted to make her lose her fighting ability, it would only take a thought.

But this is the territory of Konoha Village after all, and that damn Uchiha Qiushan is rumored to be very good at space-time ninjutsu. If he makes too much noise here, it is very likely that Uchiha Qiushan will appear here in an instant. In that case, his plan to arrest Nawaki will most likely fail.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's aura was suppressed by him to the point of being almost invisible.

It is better to wait until we reach the Forest of Death. In this way, even if I capture Rope Tree, it will take a long time for Konoha Village to react. By that time, Orochimaru will have already taken Rope Tree out of the border of the Land of Fire. By that time, I can do whatever I want.

After a while, under the chairmanship of Mitarashi Anko, each team signed the contract one after another. Holding the Book of Heaven and Earth that they were assigned, they quickly rushed to the center after entering the Death Forest.

呲~~

With a slight sound, Uchiha Qiushan appeared on the platform of the Death Forest Tower. With his perception ability, even if he was here, he could sense the situation in the entire Death Forest, so he simply came here, eating the three-colored meatball in his hand while sensing the situation in the entire forest.

"Well, this dark chakra should belong to Orochimaru. Oh, Red Bean's chakra is not far away from him.

Tsk tsk tsk, this little Red Bean is no good, Orochimaru is right next to her and she hasn't even noticed it. "

Uchiha Qiushan was eating the three-colored meatballs he had just bought while constantly complaining based on his own perceptions.
