Chapter 74

"What? You don't want to leave with me?"

Hongdou slowly stepped back, her big eyes full of confusion, and her tone was hesitant.

"Why did the teacher leave the village and go out to travel? What about Kagetsu? He is also the teacher's disciple, and he will go with us, right?"

Hongdou's action of taking a half step back undoubtedly showed her inner thoughts, but Orochimaru was not disappointed. His snake-like vertical pupils flashed a strange color.

"Sure enough, you are better than me, the teacher.......Forget it, since we are master and disciple, I will give you a precious gift before we part. This gift can help you catch up with Uchiha Kagetsu a little bit. Don't resist."

In an instant, Orochimaru smiled coldly, and his neck suddenly shot forward like a snake hunting, and two sharp hollow fangs suddenly pierced Hongdou's delicate neck.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Light blue fluorescence flowed, and the static blood suit that barely withstood the piercing of the sharp teeth only lasted for a moment before it collapsed in an instant.

The hollow fangs were injected with a spell, and three magatama-style curse seals were injected into them. The intense pain made Hongdou faint in an instant

"There is a one in ten chance that this will be the key that will give you a level beyond that of an ordinary ninja and unlock the lock of the immortal."

"Well, let me see your ability, Uchiha Kagetsu, your ability as a perfect sage, hehehe......"

In a flash, Orochimaru left the laboratory. Without waiting for others to notice the inside story of the laboratory hidden in Konoha, he abandoned the experimental field where he had poured his efforts and memories without any hesitation.

The sun was shining brightly, and the golden rays shone on the young face covered with cold sweat the size of beans. Every cell in her body was in severe pain.

The unstable curse, accompanied by natural energy that ordinary people could hardly perceive, constantly eroded Hongdou's body cells and chakra, and also constantly amplified her negative emotions.

‘I......Am I going to die? Orochimaru, why, what does this feel like, kill him, kill him, kill him! '

The only remaining rationality in her mind was gradually drowned by madness. The pain in her body made Hongdou unable to move. The mental pressure and confusion made her firm her belief.

At some point, while Hongdou was drowsy, the faint fragrance of grass and trees brought vitality and temporarily relieved the pain in her body.

Hongdou looked intoxicated and couldn't help but take a deep breath. She fell into a deep sleep and fell into a beautiful dream.

‘A familiar and pleasant smell, this smell is......’

The sun sets in the west, and the sky gradually darkens.

Hongdou opened her eyes in a trance. The pain and cold sweat on her body disappeared without a trace. The ceiling in front of her was strange and familiar.

Wait, I always feel like I have forgotten something. This doesn't seem to be my home.......

‘No way, it's happening again! '

His expression gradually became numb, and he subconsciously looked down. It was very white, very warm, and very familiar, but the touch was not right.

He turned his head away, and the smiling face that he wanted to see but couldn't see and didn't want to appear from time to time was now looking at him with a half-smile.

"Long time no see, it seems you are not in a good mood, is there something bothering you?"

Gnashing teeth, furious, indignant......

Even without turning on the red-eye function, Huayue could tell that Hongdou's emotions seemed to have gone from one extreme to another.

"How dare you ask, you bastard! One or two of them are like this, you can't see them all day long, Orochimaru is mysterious and I don't know what he is researching all day long, and I, Hongdou, almost died!"

After a moment of brain failure, Huayue seemed to remember something, and knocked his hands together, pretending to be enlightened.

"Oh!!! Are you talking about Orochimaru's curse seal? You can get through that by yourself, you are indeed a research-oriented ninja. You can reach the state of immortality by using the curse seal, you are indeed a......"

As expected of a researcher with the highest scientific research level in the entire Naruto world, Huayue only repeated this in her mind to avoid irritating Hongdou who was in an abnormal state.

"Do you know where Orochimaru is going?"

Lying flat on the bed, Red Bean stared at the ceiling in a daze. After listening to Huayue's explanation of this special curse, she finally understood her position in Orochimaru's heart. There was a one in ten chance that she would die completely if she was unlucky. She was just a chess piece that Orochimaru casually arranged. The last sentence was Huayue's words.

"Who knows? Snakes love to dig holes. God knows how many hidden bases they have hidden outside."

Then the subject changed. The white finger slowly pointed to Hongdou's shoulder and poked it gently.

Ding!

The girl's white jade-like, youthful and energetic shoulders now showed a dark blue, regular and invisible ripples, which attracted Hongdou, who was still lost.

"This is? Wasn't it bitten to pieces by Orochimaru?"

"Stupid, the Static Blood Suit is not that fragile. As long as the defensive spell in the blood vessels does not disappear, it will recover even if it is temporarily broken."

"In addition, I assimilated the unstable curse seal left by Orochimaru with the Static Blood Suit.

Now the defense of the Static Blood Suit is so strong that even the chakra knife of Lightning Release may not be able to pierce it.

"Assimilating the curse seal that can connect natural energy with the blood suit was a topic that Kagetsu had set up when he mastered the Sage Mode.

Orochimaru thought that this would be a good way to test his research progress, but he was still too naive.

Hongdou, who was ready to face pain and torture, widened her eyes, her purple eyes sparkling, and couldn't help but exclaimed

"Why doesn't it hurt at all? It seems like my whole body is full of strength, and even my chakra has been enhanced a lot. What's going on?"

"This is the normal Sage Mode. Your physical fitness is greatly improved, your chakra power is increased several times, and you will not feel excessive pain when attacked......."

When Hongdou realized that this was the power inheritance from the three legendary holy places of cultivation, she sighed and murmured to herself:

"Is the gap between people really greater than the gap between people and dogs? Is what Ebisu said true? Is there a whole sea of stars between you and me?"

Hua Yue shook her head repeatedly, subconsciously measured it, and said frankly

"Isn't it 3 centimeters?"

Hongdou suddenly realized and subconsciously pulled the quilt wrapped around her body. The big-eyed cute girl kept blinking beside her, which made her very embarrassed.

"You, haven't you seen enough? If you hadn't saved me again, sooner or later, I, Hongdou, would have killed you. Only on the day of death would you behave yourself. Humph"

"This is not the first time. Compared with the last time, the little pigeon seems to have grown a lot bigger......."

With those shy and murderous eyes, he slowly drew the curtains to block out the dim starlight, blew out the lights and plucked out the candles.

A few days later, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen officially abdicated, and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato took over. Except for the Hidden Cloud Village, the other major ninja villages officially ceased war with Konoha, and the Land of Fire entered a period of peace.

One year after the Fourth Hokage took over, on July 23 of that year, Kazuki, who was immersed in research and training, looked at the Konoha Hospital with a flickering look in his eyes, hinting at excitement.
