Chapter 83 Finding a needle in a haystack

"You actually...took his sword?" Hongdou was so shocked that she forgot about the pain she felt. She couldn't believe that this was something a Genin candidate could do.

"Didn't he give it to me?" Luo Yi flipped the Kusanagi sword twice, then grasped the hilt and inserted it into the soil until the ground touched the hilt.

It’s great. The chakra attachment effect is nearly a hundred times stronger than the previous large sword. Combined with the lightning chakra, there is not much obstruction when piercing into the rock.

When he drew out the Kusanagi sword again, the blade was covered with a scabbard made of rock fragments. "I'll make do with this temporarily, and then go back to make a good scabbard to match it. And then wrap it with a piece of snake skin, as a memorial to the generous Mr. Orochimaru."

Red Bean & Orochimaru: "..."

He is serious.

"You...must you make me angry?" Orochimaru had a hideous and evil smile on his face, and he seemed to be having a fierce ideological struggle.

"How could that be? What I said at the beginning was just chatting. It was you who stuck out your tongue first, okay?" If you don't believe me, turn two chapters back.

"You were the one who extended your hand first!" Orochimaru has a very good memory.

"Don't you have to extend your hand when saying hello? Where are your etiquette?" Luo Yi made an exaggerated angry expression, the kind used to scare kids in school.

Red Bean & Orochimaru: "..."

Does anyone know what the situation is now?

"Well... do you guys want to continue fighting?" Hongdou suddenly found that she was not feeling uncomfortable at all. The curse mark on the back of her neck didn't hurt anymore, and it was even a little itchy.

Luo Yi put the Kusanagi sword on his waist with satisfaction. He had no desire to fight anymore. He wouldn't get any gold coins if he continued fighting at this moment.

Orochimaru hesitated for a while and decided to be patient for a while. The result of being angry with the younger generation was that he lost the big snake, the small snake, and the Kusanagi sword. If he continued to lose, he would not be able to settle the accounts later.

So, "I will remember you. You can keep the sword for a while. We will see each other soon..."

Orochimaru disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"You...just let him go like that?" Hongdou had just gotten into the mood. She was previously unconscious due to the onset of the curse. She only knew that they were having a great time fighting.

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You want me, a trainee Genin, to hunt down an S-rank rebel?" Luo Yi scratched his ears in disbelief. "I can only take advantage of him by relying on the right time, place and people. If we push him too far, we will be in big trouble."

The "Hundred Thousand Volts" that can be used to kill enemies on sight is an improved version of Electric Iruka's "Short Circuit Technique". The power has been increased, but the consumption cannot be reduced.

No wonder Kakashi can only use Raikiri, also a lightning technique, four times a day.

With Luo Yi's current Yin-Tsu chakra limit, the number of times he can use powerful Lightning-Tsu ninjutsu every day is barely twice as many as Kakashi.

Only then did Hongdou realize how ridiculous what she had said was. Why did she just naturally think that she could defeat Orochimaru?

"You're right, Luo Yi, let's go to the tower quickly. If Lord Hokage decides to interrupt the exam, we may have to trouble you with some exam work." Hongdou made the request after regaining consciousness.

"Ah? But you've recovered and can act alone, right? And I'm just a teacher and interrogator at best, so this isn't my responsibility..."

"I will ask the Hokage to let you act as an examiner. Let's go!"

Luo Yi was speechless.

Next up is the Trainee Examiner, right?

What a complete collection of achievements party.

...

On the way, Luo Yi reviewed the battle not long ago and found that there was still room for improvement. As he thought about it, he began to look forward to his next meeting with Orochimaru.

Interestingly, the real person didn't feel as intimidating as he had expected, nor did he have an insurmountable gap in actual combat power.

Red Bean looked at the Kusanagi sword on his waist and thought back to the days when she followed Orochimaru. He always liked to throw the sword around and then control it like sorcery to play with and torture his enemies.

The sword that had been with him for so long was so easy to...

"Luo Yi, tell me the truth, you actually have a chance of winning against Orochimaru, right?" After hesitating for a long time, Hongdou finally succumbed to curiosity.

"Not necessarily. He is severely restricted here and can only exert less than 30% of his strength. This gives me an opportunity." Luo Yi neither confirmed nor denied it, but it was the truth.

He was sure that Orochimaru would not summon the powerful Ten Thousand Snakes in the "Forest of Death" or resurrect the First or Second Hokage through the Impure World Reincarnation to fight him, so he appeared in front of the master and disciple with confidence.

For the former, the appearance of Manda would expose his whereabouts, and if he was unlucky, he would be besieged by the Third Hokage and the Anbu; for the latter, the first and second generations were prepared for Hiruzen, and it would be a waste to use them on Luo Yi.

However, the direct reason why Orochimaru did not use "Immortal Reincarnation" was that he lacked a living being for the reincarnation technique. Luo Yi stared at Hongdou's back for a few seconds.

After all, you are a little reluctant to part with your apprentice, right?

"You seem to know a lot about Orochimaru? You know all his ninjutsu and even his weapons by heart?" It was hard for Hongdou to imagine how a Genin could get access to intelligence about a rebel ninja who had left for many years.

"I'm a teacher and an interrogator. It's normal for me to get to know Hiruzen's apprentice while learning my own job." Luo Yi didn't even want to say that the third generation's home still had a group photo of Hiruzen's class.

He called the Hokage "teacher", and after the exam began, he did hear people from the Anbu mention that the Third Hokage had given him some guidance... Thinking of this, Hongdou dispelled her suspicions about Luo Yi.

It's impossible that the Hokage would make a mistake, right?

...

It took nearly 20 minutes to get back to the tower. Luo Yi was allowed to move freely from the Third Hokage and was even rewarded for "stealing Orochimaru's favorite sword, Kusanagi Sword, which weakened his strength and morale."

The prize was the Kusanagi sword itself, which was supposed to be the murder weapon taken away by the criminal, and the ownership and right to use it were given to him.

Just put it here.

"You're going out at this time? It's already dark!" Hongdou didn't understand why he was rushing out again.

"I'm going to find Sasuke... Uchiha Sasuke." Luo Yi said truthfully, "Those three Sound Ninja attacked Sasuke under the orders of Orochimaru, and I don't want anything to happen to my teammates."

"That's the new Genin that Orochimaru is targeting...Okay, do you need help?" Hongdou had personally experienced how painful and inconvenient it was to be cursed, so it would be very dangerous to encounter the enemy at this time.

"Thank you, I'm enough alone." Luo Yi smiled easily, then climbed out the window and fell into the forest in the dark night.

Orochimaru has left, Gaara and his three companions have passed the exam, and now in the "Forest of Death", there is no one who can pose a threat to him.

You can walk sideways.

...

As a result, Luo Yi walked sideways for two and a half days.

"Man, it's hard to find someone." He tossed two scrolls, "Heaven" and "Earth", which he had snatched from someone, while searching and fishing.

A gust of wind blew.

"Hahahaha, I got the chance!" A wild ninja caught the "Heaven" Scroll when it was thrown to the highest point, and prepared to escape.

"Ah... caught another one..." Luo Yi muttered absentmindedly.

"Fire Style: Stardust"

But a weakened version.

"boom--"

"Ahhhhh! It's burning me to death!" The ninja rolled on the ground to put out the fire. "What's wrong with this thing? It's actually a fake scroll! Is there an explosive talisman on it?"

"What idiot would throw the real scroll around for fun...hiss...Anyway, have you ever seen three Konoha ninjas, a golden-haired boy, a black-haired boy and a pink-haired girl." Luo Yi walked forward and switched to interrogator mode.

"Damn it... Who the hell are you? Why should I tell you?" The wild ninja looked like his mouth was harder than his life.

"Hey... you know I'm in a hurry."

"Earth Style: Naraku"

But a slower version.

The ninja was burned and unable to move. He was unable to escape the whirlpool of mud and began to sink slowly.

"You know the swamp, if you don't move around, you will sink more slowly. At the current flow rate, you still have a full 10 minutes to live." Luo Yi smiled brightly, stretched out ten fingers, and then slowly bent one.

Indicates that one minute has passed.

"Wow! You all are bullying me! I just want to pass the exam to become a Chunin, why is it so difficult?" The mentality of the wild ninja began to change.

"Crying? Crying also counts as time." Luo Yi smiled brightly and warmly, then slowly bent his second finger.

"No! Your timing is wrong, right? How can one minute go by so quickly?"

Before he finished speaking, the third one also bent.
