The next day, Orochimaru's residence.
Bai Yu came to the door early, but Orochimaru was not at home.
He had been here several times before, so he walked to the backyard with ease.
The entire mansion occupies a large area, and the backyard alone is twice the size of Bai Yu's home.
You can't tell it when watching the anime, but actually living here makes you feel that the "village" of Konoha is really big.
The 44th training ground used in the original Chunin Exam alone has a diameter of more than 10 kilometers. There are fifty or sixty such training grounds in Konoha, all located on the periphery of the village.
Orochimaru and Kushina's homes are relatively large, but because they are in the periphery, the land price here is far lower than in the central area.
Especially in the prosperous areas of East Street and West Street, the land there has been allocated during the construction of the village, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
One can imagine the concept of Kushina having a street on West Street.
Being idle and bored, Bai Yu walked around the house, except for the more private bedroom and study room, he took a look at other places.
"It's too deserted."
The house is clean and tidy, but it also lacks the atmosphere of life. There is not even a housekeeper in the house.
The only green plant is an old tree in the backyard.
Bai Yu finally came to the kitchen and found that the kitchen utensils were complete and there were signs of use. There was also an apron hanging on the wall.
It's hard to imagine Orochimaru cooking with an apron on.
Bai Yu opened the refrigerator and saw that there were only eggs, some compressed biscuits and military grain pills left in it.
"Is that all?"
It was still early, so Bai Yu went out to buy some ingredients. What he bought were the dishes that Orochimaru ate more in the restaurant.
For most of the morning, Bai Yu cooked a table full of dishes.
It was close to noon when Orochimaru came back.
He walked into the living room and was stunned for a moment when he saw all kinds of fragrant food on the table.
Bai Yu heard the noise, put on an apron, and walked out of the kitchen with a spoon:
"Teacher Orochimaru, you are back. You have one soup left before you can eat. You should wash your hands first."
Orochimaru nodded silently.
After a while, Orochimaru changed into a set of bright yellow casual clothes.
Bai Yu brought the last soup to the table, and then poured a bowl of soup for Orochimaru. After he took a sip, he asked: "Teacher Orochimaru, how does it taste?"
"Not bad, a little salty." Orochimaru said calmly.
Bai Yu smiled: "Maybe it's because Kushina likes the taste to be stronger, so I'm used to it."
Orochimaru:"......"
The two began to eat in silence, with only the slight sounds of chopsticks and dishes touching each other.
"I'm full." Orochimaru only ate a bowl of rice and then put down his chopsticks.
"Then I'm not welcome!" Seeing this, Bai Yu's eating movements gradually became wild.
Soon, Bai Yu finished all the more than a dozen dishes and a large pot of rice.
Orochimaru waited until Bai Yu put down his bowls and chopsticks, then stood up and said, "Follow me to the tenth training ground."
"Yes." Bai Yu said excitedly, finally waiting for the highlight.
But when Bai Yu walked to the door of the living room, he found Orochimaru still standing by the table.
Orochimaru frowned slightly, his gaze resting on the messy dining table.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yu asked doubtfully. Following Orochimaru's gaze, he reacted, but he didn't take the initiative to speak, and just looked at Orochimaru.
"Remember to wash the dishes." The atmosphere became increasingly anxious, and Orochimaru was silent for a long time before holding back these words.
"Wash as soon as you get back."
Bai Yu chuckled.
...
Outside Konoha Village.
Bai Yu and Orochimaru came to the center of the Tenth Training Ground covered by dense forests. There was a large open space specially opened up.
The first ten training grounds in the village are open to all ninjas and can come and go freely.
As for the training grounds at the back, they all have specific uses, and part of them are used by the ninja clan.
For example, the Nara clan has been raising deer for generations. There must be an environment suitable for raising deer near their clan area, and lakes are also essential.
"You have already learned the art of channeling, so I won't explain it." Orochimaru came to the middle of the open space and stood still.
Bai Yu nodded.
There are only five seals in the art of channeling, so it is not difficult to learn.
Generally divided into blood contract summons and non-blood contract summons.
The former summons can summon a psychic beast to assist the ninja in fighting. You need to sign a blood contract with the psychic beast before you can summon it. The size of the summoned creature is also related to the amount of its own chakra.
The latter can summon things stored elsewhere to assist in the battle. Like Tiantian in the original work, the scroll seems to contain inexhaustible ninja tools, and it is precisely through the use of non-blood contract summoning.
After all, a normal storage scroll cannot accommodate so many ninja tools.
"Yes." Orochimaru didn't say anything more. He bit a small hole on his thumb and blood immediately gushed out. He smeared the blood on the palm of his left hand, then formed a seal and slapped his left hand towards the ground.
Bang!
A huge cloud of white smoke rose.
Immediately afterwards, a large earth-yellow snake about ten meters long sprang out from the smoke. It only raised its upper body and was as high as a two-story building. It looked like it was full of the oppression of a large psychic beast.
When Orochimaru saw Orochimaru, he immediately leaned down and looked very respectful.
"Give me the contract scroll." Orochimaru patted the serpent's head gently.
Hearing this, the big snake retracted its body, raised its head, opened its mouth, and squirmed.
Soon, Bai Yu saw a bulge appear in the big snake's belly, and then a huge scroll was spit out, which was also stained with some mucus.
Originally, Bai Yu thought Orochimaru would open his mouth and spit out the scroll like in the original work.
However, according to the thickness of the contract scroll on the ground, if Orochimaru hides it in his stomach, his style will probably explode when he spits it out.
"Sign your name on it with your blood, and then press your five-finger fingerprints."
Orochimaru explained.
Bai Yu opened the scroll, and there were rows of names and handprints on it. Except for Orochimaru, all the other names had a red "×" drawn on them.
However, the name of the last contractor "Suna" has an "×" on it, but the name is red like Orochimaru, and the names of the previous contractors are all black.
Bai Yu bit his finger to sign, and asked at the same time: "Teacher Orochimaru, why do these people's names have different colors?"
“Those with ‘×’ represent that the contract with Longdi Cave has been terminated, and black names represent that the contractor has died.”
Orochimaru said.
Bai Yu nodded and pressed his fingerprint.
"Try it, use as much chakra as possible in one breath, so that the snakes you summon will be stronger, but be careful, some may attack you as soon as they come out. When you encounter one that can be surrendered, remember its chakra Carat properties, you can summon it again next time.”
Orochimaru said solemnly.
"Yes!" Bai Yu responded and began to gather a large amount of chakra, then quickly formed a seal and slapped his left hand on the ground.
"Psychic Art"
Bang!
Huge smoke rose, and the distance between Bai Yu and the ground instantly widened. His body had risen to the sky and appeared in mid-air.
The next second, he was thrown out.
Bai Yu adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily.
Orochimaru frowned and immediately entered a state of alert. He flashed and appeared in front of Bai Yu.
He had never seen the big dark-blue snake in front of him before.
Although there are thousands of snakes in Longdi Cave, most of them are of average strength.
A large snake like this, which is more than twenty meters long, is nearly half as long as ten thousand snakes. It is definitely the most powerful psychic beast in Longdi Cave.
Psychic beasts grow very fast in their childhood, and their growth rate slows down only after they reach adulthood.
This dark green snake should be a powerful psychic beast that has grown up in recent years.
"Kid, I didn't allow you to stand on my head!" A deep magnetic voice sounded from the smoke, and the dark green snake lowered his head and glanced at Bai Yu and Orochimaru in front of him.
Can you speak?
Orochimaru was slightly stunned. Being able to speak means that this big snake contains a lot of natural energy and has used it to a very strong level, which means that it has high growth potential.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu could summon such a powerful psychic beast as soon as he came up.
"Hello, my name is Yagami Baiyu. When I used the psychic technique to summon you just now, I was standing on top of your head. I'm sorry."
Bai Yu showed an apologetic smile.
The psychic beast in front of him obviously seemed to have a good temper. It didn't use any force when it threw itself down just now. Even if an ordinary genin fell, it would only suffer a little bit, but it would not be seriously injured or even killed.
This dark green snake exudes a strong energy field and is obviously not weak.
"It's quite polite. I forgive you." Green Snake said slowly: "I do feel the power of the contract. You can call me Green Snake."
"A small gift, please don't be polite." Bai Yu took out a thunder calf leg half a man's height from the storage scroll.
Thunder cow is a top-notch ingredient, and this leg alone is worth one hundred thousand taels. However, compared with the size of the green snake in front of me, this beef leg is probably not big enough to fit between the teeth.
"Is this how you want to conquer me?" Green Snake said, but he still swallowed the thunder calf in one gulp.
"There is another roasted one here." Bai Yu took out a roasted Thunder Beef Leg from another storage scroll.
"Cooked?" Green Snake took a breath, then swallowed it in one gulp, and then said: "It tastes weird, but it's okay."
"There is not enough time this time. If you like it, I will prepare twenty roasted cows for you next time." Bai Yu said with a smile. Since the green snake can accept cooked food, it can be replaced with ordinary beef next time.
"Half is enough, and I want to eat the other half alive." Green Snake asked: "What is your purpose? It's impossible to make me obey your orders, unless you defeat me. And you can't let the contract next to you Please help.”
"I just want to be friends with you."
"friend?"
"It's the kind that occasionally helps out at very critical moments without fighting." Bai Yu explained that his purpose was to obtain the blood and cells of powerful snakes.
"This... is fine." Green Snake hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, if it didn't have to fight, there would be no need to decide the outcome with the kid in front of it.
"By the way, Green Snake, do you eat people?" Bai Yu asked. He thought of Wan She. If the Green Snake eats people, he would have to consider changing to another snake. This is the bottom line.
"I don't eat people!" Green Snake shook his head and said, "If you're okay, I'll leave first. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Bai Yu smiled and waved.
Bang!
The green snake turned into smoke and disappeared.
"..." Orochimaru looked confused.
Is this okay?
In order to subdue Wan She, he had to fight hard.
In the end, he did not defeat Wan She, but barely gained Wan She's approval.
Moreover, Wan She had made an agreement with him that every time he summoned it to fight, 100 people would be required as sacrifices.
Therefore, unless Orochimaru is facing a life and death crisis, he will not summon all snakes to fight.
During the Second Ninja War, Orochimaru only summoned Ten Thousand Snakes once, allowing him to eat more than a hundred enemies.
Wan She has a very high status in Longdi Cave, second only to the White Snake Immortal and several immortals.
Although the green snake just now is not as good as ten thousand snakes, it is obviously not inferior to ordinary jounin in strength. If it cooperates well with Bai Yu, it will be able to fight against elite jounin.
The key is that two corbels are enough! ?
The green snake is obviously gentle, and it is estimated that it will become familiar with Bai Yu in the future, and it will be willing to fight for Bai Yu without having to defeat it.
"I didn't expect Green Snake to be quite polite and easy to talk to. It seems that not all the giant psychic beasts in Longdi Cave..."
Bai Yu said with a smile, but paused mid-sentence. He thought of Orochimaru's Ten Thousand Snakes.
Even ninjas from the same village would stay as far away as possible when Orochimaru summoned all the snakes to fight.
Because all snakes fight without distinction between friend and foe, this is the only "black spot" on Orochimaru's body at present.
"..." Orochimaru fell into silence. Although Bai Yu didn't finish what he said, he knew the meaning and couldn't hold it any longer.
Bai Yu looked at Orochimaru's awkward expression, smiled and said:
"Thanks to Orochimaru-sensei for reminding me to prepare gifts in advance. It seems that I met a foodie snake this time."
Orochimaru was silent for a long time, then uttered two words: "Let's go."
After saying that, he turned and left directly.
Bai Yu followed quickly. He didn't ask the green snake for blood as soon as he came up. After the relationship was good, it would not be easy to get some blood from it.
It seems that the progress of the experiment can be accelerated!
...
In late November, a big event happened in Konoha.
Cloud Hidden Village sent a delegation to Konoha to formally form an alliance with Konoha.
The alliance process went very smoothly.
After all, for the major ninja villages, alliances are just a formality in peacetime. When it comes time to go to war, who cares whether they are allies or not.
Breaking alliances has not never happened in history.
The second Hokage Senju Tobirama died because during the First World War, the Konoha envoys went to Kumogakure to form an alliance with the Second Raikage. As a result, they were attacked by Golden Horn and Silver Horn during the meeting, and the Second Raikage died on the spot. Senju Tobirama was seriously injured and escaped with six disciples.
Senju Tobirama developed the Flying Thunder God Technique and possesses unparalleled speed. No one can stop him if he wants to escape.
However, in order to allow the next generation of Konoha's elite to survive, he gave up the hope of survival and chose to be the queen, facing alone the Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and dozens of Jonin who possessed the Nine-tailed Chakra and Six Paths Ninja Tools. Eventually died in battle.
Since then, the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure has been tense.
This alliance may bring new development opportunities to both parties.
perhaps.

PS: Naruto does not have any Konoha chronology, this is summarized by the fan author based on the plot. Among them, there are two chronologies that are more commonly used.
1. The end of the Four Wars is Konoha 64, then the first plot is Konoha 60, and the Nine-Tails Rebellion is Konoha 48.
2. The end of the Fourth War is Konoha 67, then the first plot begins in Konoha 64, and the Nine-Tails Rebellion is Konoha 51. The formula book prefers the second type, but the formula book has many timelines with inconsistent contents.
Starting point: Most Naruto fans use Konoha 48 as the plot time of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and most readers are more accustomed to it. "The Three Watching Beasts of Maturity" has always adopted the "first" chronology, and there is no right or wrong in this. Such instructions will not be later placed in the text.
PS: Please vote for me at the end, and this book will be on the shelves on the 1st of next year.
