A light rain suddenly fell from the sky, with a rustling sound, floating into the lake bit by bit, lingering on the shoulders, splashing dust and mud gracefully...
The scene is beautiful, but it is the scene that Uchiha Tokumitsu hates the most.
This reminded him of the sticky, musty smell that was everywhere when he "returned to the south" when he lived in a small and messy rental house in the Magic City in his previous life.
Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about buying a house in this life.
Uchiha Tokko was inexplicably relieved.
But then I thought it was a bit funny. After traveling through time and being reborn, why do I still remember those unpleasant things in my previous life?
I thought about it but couldn't figure it out.
Then just don't think about it.
Life is full of grass and trees, and autumn comes and goes like wind and rain. Being able to live another life is already a wonderful thing that others would envy, so why worry about it?
Uchiha Tokumitsu tidied up the ninja tools scattered around the training ground and prepared to complete today's ninja tool throwing training.
Originally, I had an appointment with Hatake Sakumo today to discuss the issue of rebuilding and strengthening the mobile force. Who knew that a special task would appear and the employer clearly designated Hatake Sakumo to perform it. As a last resort, Hatake Sakumo had to send someone to send a message to Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was let go, hurriedly went out to perform his mission.
Since the meeting place between the two of them was at the Jonin training ground in the village, it was rare for Uchiha Tokumitsu not to bring a guard squad with him, and in line with the guidance spirit of "come here, come here" in his previous life, by the way, he hasn't come here yet. Try it out at the training ground.
Although he was born in a luxurious family in this life, Uchiha Tokumitsu still has no habit of extravagance and waste, and he is especially careful about the protection of personal belongings. Who knows if there will suddenly be something that can track or track items through items in the ninja world? The mysterious ninjutsu of the curse will strike at the critical moment.
After packing up the ninja tools, Uchiha Tokumitsu habitually spread out his mental power to sweep them away to avoid missing anything.
There are outsiders!
Although it is normal for people to come and go on the training ground, the information returned from the mental feedback is that there is a person on the tree crown about a hundred meters away, who is obviously squatting and facing himself as if observing. It is naturally impossible. He is an ordinary training ground user.
Without thinking, Uchiha Tokumitsu threw the shuriken he had just collected toward the tree crown where the imaginary enemy was. At the same time, he pulled out a psychic mutual multiplication scroll with a large number of detonating talismans sealed from the scroll sleeve on his upper body.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
Throwing the ninja tool is just to explore the way, and the scroll is to defend against one attack. The traditional attack and testing action of the serious Uchiha clan usually involves a fireball to hit the face.
At the same time, his hands dropped down seemingly casually, and special chakra wires that were almost invisible to the naked eye flew out from the cuffs and began to spread around under the control of chakra.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
An ordinary water release ninjutsu blocked Uchiha Tokumitsu's fireball attack.
The caster's voice was a little hoarse, but it also felt a little sinister.
In the thick smoke and dust produced by the collision of water and fire, a young man wearing a Konoha Jounin uniform, with long black hair and pale skin walked out.
Although his face looks handsome with a bit of evil, the most impressive thing is his snake-like golden pupils and the purple eye shadow that extends to the wings of his nose.
It's Orochimaru!
Uchiha Tokko frowned, not expecting to encounter such a difficult person at this time.
He thought it was some agency personnel such as Anbu or Roots who were following him, and he thought of giving him a lesson to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that it was Orochimaru, a difficult and troublesome figure.
It seems that this time, the check-in records of the three apprentices of contemporary Hokage have been collected.
"It's me, Tokumitsu-kun."
Orochimaru stopped about ten meters away from Uchiha Tokko, with an indescribable evil smile, and bowed slightly to say hello politely.
Ten meters is a very subtle distance.
It can not only reflect the respect when meeting for the first time, but also take into account the other party's defensive psychology; at the same time, it is a very suitable distance for initiating ninja throwing and single-target ninjutsu. Moreover, for taijutsu masters, the distance of ten meters is There isn't much difference from being close-fitting.
"Orochimaru……"
Although Uchiha Tokko was a little wary in his heart, he did not show any emotion on the surface.
He just raised his hands slightly, clasped his fingers slightly, and quietly retracted the special chakra wires distributed around his cuffs.
Orochimaru also looked around in slight surprise.
After showing off his unique skills of chakra control and ninja tool manipulation a little bit, Orochimaru was shocked, and Uchiha Tokumitsu stopped as soon as he saw the opportunity.
"Good day, Tokumitsu-kun." Orochimaru suppressed the smile on his face and nodded to Uchiha Tokumitsu again with a slight seriousness, "I take the liberty of disturbing you..."
"Good day, Orochimaru jounin." Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded to Orochimaru equally politely.
They both fell silent at the same time.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's inner defenses remained unabated. I don’t know if Orochimaru has completed the software transformation at this time, turning himself into an unkillable human-skinned snake. ,
Orochimaru didn't know what to say.
He always felt that Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes were wandering around his neck, heart, vagina, knees and other vital parts. His powerful danger premonition ability reminded him that the young man in front of him had very bad intentions!
After a while, Orochimaru was able to laugh a few times and barely break the deadlock.
"Are Tokumitsu-kun training alone?"
"Yes, come and try out the village's training ground." Uchiha Tokumitsu looked directly at Orochimaru, tapping the blade of the Kodachi on his waist with the fingers of his left hand.
"It's really rare~ Generally, few jonins from the ninja clan are willing to come to the village's training ground. They usually conduct secret skill training at their respective family training grounds." Orochimaru felt that the chat atmosphere suddenly improved, " Especially the Uchiha clan, I haven’t seen any Uchiha ninja coming to the village’s training ground.”
Orochimaru's words were a bit long-winded, but Uchiha Tokumitsu's answer seemed very concise.
"My pleasure."
Even Orochimaru, who was famous for his cold temperament and inhumanity, couldn't help but choked by Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.
No wonder the Uchiha clan has no allies or friends in the village and is hated by everyone!
Orochimaru was complaining madly in his heart.
"Tokumitsu-kun... seems to be a little wary of me?" Orochimaru took a slight breath, put aside unnecessary disguises and spoke tactfully.
"Yes." Uchiha Tokko nodded.
Orochimaru's nose twitched slightly and he tugged, "Tokumitsu-kun is really outspoken, but...why?"
He was really curious. The first time he heard about Uchiha Tokumitsu was from his teammate Jiraiya. In his description, Uchiha Tokumitsu was a vicious and murderous young man who was in urgent need of psychological correction.
After returning to the village last night, I got slightly different information when chatting with Tsunade. In her description, Uchiha Tokimitsu was a ninja who was good at disguise, ambitious, arrogant and eyeing the position of Hokage. Heir to a wealthy family.
But whether it was Jiraiya or Tsunade, their descriptions of Uchiha Tokimitsu were incompatible with Uchiha Tokimitsu at this moment.
"Your strength... is very strong." Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to speak bluntly, and the fingers that were originally tapping the sword's tang have been transformed into empty grips on the handle of the sword. "And, you are Mr. Hiruzen's disciple."
"Actually, there is no need to be so... vigilant." Orochimaru spread his hands to show friendship, carefully considered the words, and said slowly: "I just passed by the training ground and took a look out of curiosity. There is no harm..."
"Since you're curious, would Orochimaru Jonin be interested in a competition?" Uchiha took the initiative to invite a fight.
Orochimaru was slightly startled.
"This is the first time someone has said this to me..." With an evil smile, Orochimaru nodded slightly, "Since it is Tokumitsu-kun's request, I am not good either..."
Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru suddenly lowered his body and thrust forward, appearing in front of Uchiha Tokko as if he was performing the Shukuchi Jutsu.
"……reject."
The unfinished words floated in the air as the body moved forward, and what followed was——
"Latent Shadow Snake Hand!"
Orochimaru's left hand strangled Uchiha Tokumitsu's throat. Several venomous snakes emerged from his sleeves and twisted and intertwined. The snakes and fangs danced wildly, as if they wanted to bite people.
only--
In Orochimaru's view, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who seemed to have no time to react under the sudden attack, was shattered into pieces like a broken mirror when his left hand was about to grab his throat.
"Sharingan: The art of turning the sky and the earth."
Uchiha Tokumitsu stood about five meters in front of Orochimaru and said calmly.
The scarlet three-magatama Sharingan rotates slowly, the small sword at the waist has been drawn out and held in reverse with the left hand, and the "Yin" seal is on the right hand.
"not good!"
Orochimaru was shocked.
But it was too late to stop and dodge.
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"
Although the dragon fire jutsu is a C-level fire escape ninjutsu, when used in Uchiha Tokumitsu's hands, its speed and power are first-rate and ferocious.
Orochimaru, who was unable to dodge, was blasted by the pillar of fire. Before he could even scream, he was burned into a charred corpse by the fire escape ninjutsu at close range. The poisonous snakes on his arms were directly turned into fly ash under the high temperature.
"Click."
The corpse's knees, which were still leaning forward, seemed unable to bear the weight of the body. The calf broke with a "click" and the corpse fell to the ground.
Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned and looked at the charred corpses in front of him with indistinguishable facial features.
After two minutes, he slowly said: "Orochimaru Jonin, can you come out?"
"As expected of Uchiha's genius..."
A hand covered in mucus stretched out from the mouth of the charred corpse, opened the mouth of the corpse, and a living Orochimaru but covered in mucus crawled out of the mouth of the corpse.
Even the clothes on his body were still intact.
But this is just so disgusting.
Witnessing all this, Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned and felt waves of intense discomfort in his stomach.
He thought Orochimaru's Orochimaru Substitution Technique was to tear open the burnt skin on the surface, but he didn't expect it to look so disgusting.
"Orochimaru Jonin, with your ninjutsu talent, there is no need to make the ninjutsu so disgusting, right?" Uchiha Tokumitsu swallowed his saliva to suppress the stomach acid that seemed to be surging up.
"Don't worry about these unnecessary details..." The new version of Orochimaru twisted his neck "click-click-click" and mobilized chakra to dry the mucus on his body.
The evil-minded version of Orochimaru once again stood in front of him.
"Tokumitsu-kun's genjutsu seems to be different from other Uchiha jounin." Orochimaru had a smile on his face, and his eyes almost narrowed into a straight line.
"The power of ninjutsu naturally varies from person to person." Uchiha Tokumitsu casually took the sword flower and sheathed the sword.
"It's just... when did Tokumitsu-kun turn on his Sharingan to perform genjutsu? I didn't realize it at all." Although Orochimaru had a smile on his face, it could be seen at a glance that it was just a fake smile.
The cold snake eyes scanned Uchiha Tokko up and down, his eyes were cold and vicious, like a black mamba trying to bite people, with a trace of imperceptible greed.
"The Sharingan is the most powerful source of power for the Uchiha clan." Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his chin pretending to be arrogant, "Every move you make cannot escape my eyes."
Instead, Orochimaru withdrew his gaze.
"Sharingan..." Orochimaru, who was muttering to himself, lowered his head and looked at his bent and raised hands, "The ninja clan... blood successor limit... is such an enviable power..."
Although there was no real fight, in just this round, Orochimaru understood the difference between himself and the wealthy blood successor ninja clan.
Maybe he is proficient in more ninjutsu, maybe he has richer combat experience, maybe he has more chakra... But in front of the Uchiha clan's unreasonable blood succession boundary, all the differences and gaps seem to be overwhelming. It was forcibly wiped out.
Although Orochimaru firmly believed that he would not lose if he started fighting, he knew after a round of trials that he had no chance of winning in a short period of time.
Whether it is the mysterious illusion or the powerful Fire Release, it is enough to prove that there are no Kyoshis under the famous reputation. What's more, according to Orochimaru's information, Uchiha Tokumitsu also masters the brand-new blood inheritance power of Fire Release and the power of mutual interaction. Use special forbidden magic methods such as the technique of detonating talismans.
"Tokumitsu-kun... it seems that he is indeed a troublesome person." Orochimaru raised his head again and looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu with some emotion.
"Excellent." Uchiha Tokumitsu responded calmly, "Orochimaru Jounin's skin-shedding technique also opened my eyes."
"The art of mirroring the sky and the earth..." Orochimaru laughed at himself, "Tokumitsu-kun's illusion can actually blind my perception."
"Illusions are normal." Uchiha Tokumitsu said calmly: "All illusions are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning. They vary from person to person."
"Tokumitsu-kun, I'd better tell the truth." Orochimaru looked directly at Uchiha Tokumitsu's face, "I heard that the Uzumaki clan gave the Uchiha clan all the secrets of sealing techniques accumulated over thousands of years, right?"
"Yes."
"I want a copy of the sealing technique information." Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue to wash his face, and the greed on his face calmed down a little, "Tokumitsu-kun, let's give you a price."
"OK!"
Uchiha Tokko replied affirmatively.
Before the smile on Orochimaru's face could bloom, Uchiha Tokumitsu's next words made him understand what it meant to be happy too soon——
"Bring the Sealed Book in exchange!"
