Chapter 52 Orochimaru
Hongdou took the three of them to the dumpling shop that she frequented most.
Three-color dumplings with green tea is the most classic set meal in this restaurant.
The other people all ordered their own dumplings.
It was Che's turn to order some, and Che specifically asked to add more sugar.
The clerk apologized: "The dumplings have been made in advance, so we can't add sugar to them, but we can coat them with a layer of caramel liquid."
Che chose the caramel three-color dumplings without hesitation, "Remember to wrap the sugar liquid thickly."
Che's taste for sweets and meat was something he retained from his previous life.
The four of them then sat in the shop and started chatting.
Anko saw that the three people in front of her had successfully obtained Chunin certificates, so she first looked at Kurenai's certificate curiously.
Then he ruffled his purple hair in distress and said anxiously: "It's over, I'm the only one who failed the exam, and I'm going to be scolded to death by the teacher."
Hong looked helpless and comforted: "It's okay."
Hongdou shook his head and said: "Teacher, he is so scary sometimes, you don't understand..."
Fortunately, dumplings and green tea had been served at this time, allowing Anko to forget her worries in an instant.
Che and Kakashi looked at each other.
Both of them seemed to have heard of the reputation of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, but Orochimaru's reputation was indeed not a good one.
Cold-blooded, cold and cruel, stern and powerful, these are Orochimaru's reputation that are spread far and wide, making people fear him and dare not approach him.
But this was just a digression, Che soon began to enjoy his three-color dumplings coated with thick sugar liquid.
The rich caramel liquid exploded in his taste buds instantly. Che swallowed it greedily, then bit a pink dumpling with his teeth and chewed it carefully.
The aroma of cherry blossoms combined with the sweetness of glutinous rice makes people intoxicated.
Che is obviously more interested in eating than enjoying cherry blossoms. Perhaps this is the origin of the saying that flowers are not as good as dumplings.
The second one is white and original, with only the mellow flavor of milk and glutinous rice in the mouth. It tastes simple and delicious.
The third one is green matcha flavor. Che uses this dumpling to cover the remaining caramel liquid on the plate. After entering the mouth, the slight bitterness of matcha and the rich sweetness of caramel collide, and the flavor is even more outstanding.
After eating three dumplings, Che picked up the tea cup and drank the warm and fragrant green tea in one gulp. He felt so good after eating it.
Che added this restaurant to his favorite list in his mind, ranking first with BBQ Q.
Che ate three dumplings, while Anko had already finished six dumplings in one hand.
This look made Hong laugh. Hong knew that this was her best friend, so she chose to bring her here today.
After eating two skewers of red beans, he felt it was not enough. He raised his hand and said, "Boss, get two more skewers of three-color dumplings."
"Hongdou, if you eat too many dumplings, you will gain weight." A magnetic and hoarse voice came from outside the door.
The powerful and cold aura made Che and the others feel like they were falling into an ice cave.
A man with long black hair, golden vertical pupils, and pale skin opened the curtain of the dumpling shop and stooped in.
The man was wearing a Konoha Jounin vest, his eyes had purple eyeshadow that extended to his nose, and his face was handsome and a little strange.
"Orochimaru..." Che recited the name silently in his mind, realizing that Orochimaru's temperament was completely different from that of Jiraiya, who was also a Sannin.
The only ones on the field who could move freely under such an aura were Che and Hongdou.
Che did it because of his guaranteed strength, while Hong Dou was used to the teacher's aura.
Kakashi broke out in cold sweat, feeling as if he was being targeted by a predator that was more advanced than himself. He was so frightened in his soul that he couldn't move.
Only when you reach Kakashi's level can you deeply feel the terror of Orochimaru.
Yuhi Kurenai was simply frightened by Orochimaru's somewhat sinister aura and appearance, and couldn't help but hold Che's hand under the table.
Orochimaru glanced at the group of people with his snake-like vertical pupils, and said to Anko: "Anko, your classmates seem to be a little afraid of me."
Anko, who had just finished saying Orochimaru was scary, immediately got up and said without saying anything: "I definitely didn't tell them you were scary!"
"Right...right? My teacher is not scary at all."
Anko turned to Kakashi and Kurenai and said.
Kurenai relaxed her hold on Che's hand and responded with a grunt, and Kakashi reluctantly broke away and stiffly took a sip of tea to ease his mood.
"Lord Orochimaru." Che took the lead in greeting, and Kakashi and Kurenai followed suit.
Orochimaru ignored the reactions and greetings of several people, came to the counter and ordered a cup of green tea, and then sat at the table next to Anko with the green tea.
"I heard about the situation in the Chuunin Exams."
Orochimaru shook the tea cup and said while looking at the hot steam.
Anko straightened her back nervously.
"We'll discuss your situation later." Orochimaru blew into the tea.
Anko immediately relaxed.
Orochimaru took a sip of hot tea and said, "Che-kun, Mr. Sarutobi seems to think highly of you."
Che said modestly: "Lord Hokage, you are so complimentary."
Orochimaru was noncommittal and looked at the fluctuation of the tea and said to himself: "I still need an assistant. I need a ninja with a solid theoretical foundation and strong understanding of ninjutsu. I need a chuunin level to help me complete experiments and experiments every Sunday. Ninjutsu development, commissioned task level A, lasts for one year."
Orochimaru drank the tea in one gulp.
Then he stood up and came to the curtain, turned his back to Che and said: "Mr. Che, if you are interested, please go to the task collection place."
Orochimaru then opened the curtain and left.
Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you didn't scold me now. I can delay it for a while."
Che was now seriously thinking about Orochimaru's intentions and purposes.
Kurenai and Kakashi asked almost at the same time: "Che, what are your plans?"
Che came back to his senses and said to the two of them: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Several people then avoided talking about Orochimaru.
Only before leaving, Kakashi came to Che's side and said, "I think we still need to think more about that matter."
Che nodded slightly, signaling Kakashi not to worry about him.
They parted ways, Che sent Hong home and then went home by himself.
On the way home, Che kept thinking about Orochimaru recruiting him.
As one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru had a high status in the village and naturally had many resources at his disposal.
As long as Che shows enough value, Che believes that Orochimaru will use his resources in exchange for benefits.
In this way, Che's benefits from becoming Orochimaru's assistant are certain.
The only thing to consider is risk.
Orochimaru doesn't seem to be a kind person. If he discovers a few little secrets about himself, he might covet him.
Che thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
Turn around and walk towards the Konoha quest receiving area.
Yes, Che believed that the advantages of becoming Orochimaru's assistant outweighed the disadvantages, so he decided to take on the task.
