The Sealed Book is a forbidden book kept by successive Hokage. The scroll contains ninjutsu that can cause great harm or even death to the user.
Of course, this is just what the Hokage family has always said to the outside world.
According to the speculations of the Uchiha clan, the ninjutsu collected in the Book of Sealing must be all-inclusive. In addition to extremely dangerous or incomplete forbidden jutsu, the powerful high-level ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation by the Senju clan will definitely also be included. Among the records, there may even be various secret techniques and even immortal techniques of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.
The reason why the Uchiha clan has always been eyeing the position of Hokage is not only because they are from the same founding family as the Senju but have not been able to become the Hokage, but also because the martial arts Uchiha are in pursuit of power. Obtaining more and stronger spells will inevitably lead to coveting of the Sealed Book.
The person who contributed the most to the techniques in the Book of Sealings was naturally Konoha's first-generation research madman Senju Tobirama. It can be said that the most dangerous and weird forbidden techniques in the Book of Sealings, such as the Reincarnation of the Earth, Flying Thunder God and other secret techniques , basically all written by Tobirama.
As the core forbidden art book passed down from generation to generation since the third Hokage of Konoha, the importance of the Book of Sealing is self-evident.
Although Orochimaru is the apprentice of the third generation of Hokage, and he is also the most favored and talented one, but in any case, as long as he does not take over Sarutobi's position and succeeds the fourth generation of Hokage, he will never get the sealed book.
This is a matter of principle related to the orderly inheritance of the position of Konoha Hokage, and it is also the basis for ensuring that as the new Hokage, he can possess the strongest ninjutsu to shock the village and outsiders.
Perhaps Orochimaru can obtain several forbidden spells in the Book of Sealing based on his contribution to the village or the favor of his teacher, but it is impossible to obtain the original scroll of the Book of Sealing.
Orochimaru's expression was uncertain. ,
He finally understood the meaning behind Uchiha Tokko's words.
The so-called "exchange for the book of seals" simply means "you are worthy of Orochimaru," and it is a mockery of his coveting the secrets of the Uzumaki sealing technique obtained by the Uchiha clan, which is purely a whim of overestimation.
"Tokumitsu-kun..." Orochimaru stared straight at Uchiha Tokumitsu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then...you are not willing to trade the secret of the sealing technique?"
"The secret of the sealing technique obtained by Uchiha is a gift given by the Uzumaki clan out of gratitude for saving his life, but it does not mean that the Uchiha clan can grant it to him in private." Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about Orochi either. Maru's ferocious look at this time: "The Uchiha clan has always respected their allies and will never do anything to hurt their allies' feelings."
Although the so-called "ally" relationship with Uzumaki does not clearly exist in fact, at least the two clans have not concluded a formal alliance edict, and the so-called "ally relationship" according to the etiquette of the ninja clan naturally does not exist.
The Uchiha clan's hopes and needs for the Uchiha clan are more simply to be protected by Uchiha's force to survive the current period of weakness; but Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't mind on other occasions, especially when facing people like Orochimaru. When a person with this special status, the "Uchiha-Uzumaki" alliance was thrown out to confuse the public.
Some words are said too much by oneself and heard too much by others, and over time, without the person involved voicing a rebuttal, they naturally become true.
No one knows whether there is an alliance between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan, but everyone sees the special care given by the Police Department to the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumaki clan sent people to the Uchiha clan to teach sealing techniques to the Hokage clan. It's not a special secret for the ninja clan.
Even if there is no covenant between the two tribes, this special relationship has to make others think twice. Don't you see, now even the traditional allies of the whirlpool, the Senju clan who have retired to seclusion after the great loss of their power, can't sit still.
Orochimaru is a smart person, so he naturally thought of a lot from Uchiha Tokimitsu's words.
He couldn't help but re-examine the Uchiha boy in front of him.
I thought he was a junior who was powerful but lacked mental resources. Unexpectedly, after some testing, he seemed to be facing a senior ninja fox, full of tricks and slippery hands.
"As far as I know, when the Anbu brought back the granddaughter of the Uzumaki clan, the Ashina clan leader also entrusted him with the core secret of the Uzumaki sealing technique. I wonder if you, Orochimaru jounin, know about this. ?" Seeing that Orochimaru's face looked very strange, Uchiha Tokumitsu kindly pointed him out a clear path: "Although the secret of the sealing technique obtained by our Uchiha clan·1 cannot be used without the consent of the Uzumaki clan. I gave it to others privately, but after all, besides Uzumaki and Uchiha, there are other ways to obtain it."
"Really!" Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his long tongue and wash his face, looking very excited.
"Yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied very definitely, "The name of the ANBU captain responsible for the transfer seems to be Sarutobi Shinnosuke. When I heard it, I knew he was a member of Qi's clan. I don't know if you recognize Orochimaru as a Jonin. I don’t know him, do you need the police department’s help in checking this person’s specific information or intelligence?”
"No."
Orochimaru shook his head.
"Oh~ It seems that Orochimaru Jonin knows this Mr. Shinnosuke."
Uchiha Tokumitsu expressed surprise with a somewhat exaggerated expression, but his perfunctory and impatient expression made it obvious at a glance that his 'surprise' was fake.
"Tokuguang-kun, there is no need to test anymore..."
"Really? What did I test?" Uchiha Tokumitsu said provocatively to Orochimaru, who was a little lonely.
"Since Tokumitsu-kun is unwilling, then just pretend that I didn't say anything about the sealing technique." Orochimaru had no intention of continuing the conversation for the time being, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, Tokumitsu-kun."
"No, I think it's interesting to chat with Orochimaru Jonin." Uchiha Tokumitsu forced a smile on his face, "Just as a ninja, Orochimaru Jonin, you really have a great influence on the Uzumaki clan for generations." Are you really not interested in the secrets of the legendary sealing technique?"
In order to enhance the allure of the words, Uchiha Tokumitsu added several modifiers to the sentences.
With his keen senses, he noticed that Orochimaru's breathing became slightly heavier, but he soon regained his composure.
"Tokumitsu-kun, you are just trying to trick me into betraying Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru's eyes were like looking at a heinous scumbag, "Using the secret of the sealing technique as bait, the so-called intelligence as bait... you are trying to Do you want me to steal Sarutobi-sensei's secrets or plot against Shinnosuke who might know about it?"
"You are committing a crime!" Orochimaru stared at the astonished Uchiha Tokimitsu, and said somewhat righteously: "Uchiha has been in charge of the police system responsible for Konoha's security for many years. Unexpectedly, he came out I don’t know if you, a junior who has alienated the relationship between master and disciple and tried to incite others to commit crimes, is it because the Uchiha family is in disharmony or because of poor discipline!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that he heard something wrong. His Sharingan shone involuntarily, and at the same time he mobilized chakra to circulate throughout his body.
There is nothing strange about the body, and there are no traces of illusion.
But were those righteous words full of master-disciple friendship really spoken by Orochimaru?
If the person standing in front of me was Jiraiya, then that would make sense...
Uchiha Tokko couldn't help but stare at the Sharingan, and carefully observed Orochimaru in front of him from top to bottom again, as if to find some flaws in the disguise.
Orochimaru's face also began to show a bit of anger.
No matter how strong you are, you can't stand the chill that feels like having the tip of a knife pressed against your skin when being observed at close range by the Sharingan.
"Tokumitsu-kun, what do you mean?" Orochimaru's words contained extremely obvious displeasure.
"No, it's nothing." Uchiha Tokumitsu closed his Sharingan and laughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the young version of Orochimaru actually hides a heart that loves the village and respects his teachers under his cold and evil appearance.
It's just that I don't know what happened later to turn this cold-faced and warm-hearted Hokage disciple into a master-slayer who "fails to die with filial piety".
"Does Orochimaru Jounin really not intend to find another channel to obtain the secret information of the sealing technique?" Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to fight with some enthusiasm.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that." Orochimaru waved his hand and planned to leave.
"Aren't you even interested in the forbidden arts in the Book of Sealings?"
Just as Orochimaru turned around, a seductive word came from behind that stopped him from taking a step forward.
"snort!"
Orochimaru didn't even look back and snorted coldly, "The Uchiha clan...where did the forbidden technique come from!"
Even so, he didn't continue to leave, he just didn't look back.
Uchiha Tokko relied on the trace amount of chakra he dispersed in the air to sense Orochimaru sticking out his tongue and licking his lips with some restraint.
"I have read the Sealed Book." Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled and casually gave a seemingly correct reason.
"Tokumitsu-kun...you didn't tell the truth." Even so, Orochimaru finally turned around and stared at the smiling Uchiha Tokumitsu with an inexplicable expression, "And...your mutual detonation I'm not interested in the art of talismans..."
"Then what ninjutsu is Orochimaru Jonin interested in?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's words unexpectedly made Orochimaru resist and resist.
"Tokukan-kun, your words are like your illusions, they can strangely point directly to people's hearts." Orochimaru forced himself to calm down.
in conversation. He always felt something was wrong.
Although it was the first time he met Uchiha Tokumitsu, he felt that the Uchiha boy in front of him showed an unusual familiarity with him.
Some words that seemed to have no origin, seemed to touch the truest thoughts in Orochimaru's heart, and seemed to destroy the deepest darkness, nastiness, and unbearableness in the heart of Orochimaru, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside in the eyes of the Konoha villagers. Dig it out and dry it in the sun.
But Orochimaru is very sure that before today, he has never seen this Uchiha boy who is so eloquent and charming, and what the person in front of him shows, whether it is the sophistication in probing battles or the traps in verbal exchanges. , and they are completely different from the bloodthirsty or arrogant phenomena that we have learned from the intelligence collected in the past.
A person with an ever-changing image, and he is also an Uchiha.
Orochimaru couldn't help but think of the Nidaime's description of the Uchiha clan.
"It's really an evil clan..."
Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh.
This also made Uchiha Tokumitsu a little nervous. His legs moved slightly, and his left and right legs were separated in front and back. His body turned sideways towards Orochimaru. At the same time, his left hand involuntarily touched the handle of the Kodachi at his waist, preparing a backhand. Preparation for the Iai Slash.
Orochimaru's right hand was also hidden behind his back.
Two people who misjudged each other at the same time fell into a deadlock at the same time.
"It can be seen that Orochimaru Jonin respects the teacher very much." Uchiha Tokumitsu was at a loss for words, trying to slightly ease the murderous situation.
Even though he was facing only the young version of Orochimaru, he still felt that there was no possibility of defeating him.
The best result is that the stalemate ends in a draw after a period of time, but this can only be said to be achieved with probability during the battle, and does not mean that the two people are of equal strength.
"Sarutobi-sensei taught the three of us." Orochimaru spit out a snake from his mouth, and a sword came out of the snake's mouth, but for some reason he could continue to speak, as if the poisonous snake in his mouth did not hinder the sound in his mouth. .
"My ninjutsu all comes from the careful teachings of my teacher... So, Tokumitsu-kun, don't you find it ridiculous to ask me why I respect my teacher?"
Gently waving the long sword covered in mucus, Orochimaru held the sword in front of him with both hands, bent his right leg slightly behind him, turned his body sideways to Uchiha Tokumitsu, and assumed a standard lower left sword stance. .
As a direct disciple of the Third Hokage, he is also proficient in Konoha-style swordsmanship.
"It's really..." Uchiha Tokumitsu was also speechless for a moment.
I don't know which of the words he said touched the reverse scales of the poisonous snake in front of me, making him look a little angry and put on a sword duel stance.
Uchiha Tokko took a deep breath.
With his left hand, he slowly pulled out the Kodachi from the scabbard at his waist and placed it across his chest. His right hand was hidden under his left hand and he brushed the blade from below. A purple flame of flames rose from the blade.
"The structure of the reverse heart."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also ready for Uchiha-style swordsmanship.
"So this is Yan Dun..."
Orochimaru's eyes were staring straight at the rising purple flames of Uchiha Tokumitsu's Kodachi lying across his chest, and he murmured to himself.
The sword posture of the lower left section is also slightly scattered.
"……Yes."
After hesitating for a moment, Uchiha Tokumitsu answered with some hesitation.
"The fusion of Yin Release and Fire Release... the power of Yin Release to create nothingness combined with the power of Fire Release to smelt all things..." Orochimaru's long tongue stretched out again, as if he wanted to move forward to test and lick Uchiha Demitsu. However, he resisted the urge and just washed his face with his tongue.
"It seems that we can't fight today." Uchiha Tokumitsu moved his left ear slightly and smiled thoughtfully.
"Oh?" Orochimaru responded casually, his eyes still fixed on the flames rising from the blade.
Suddenly, Orochimaru seemed to feel something and turned his head to look behind.
After a while, an ANBU jumped out of the woods and knelt down on one knee in front of Orochimaru.
"Jounin Orochimaru, Lord Hokage, I have something to call you!"
"That's true." Orochimaru gave Uchiha Tokko a deep look, followed the ANBU and turned around without any delay.
"There is always a chance." Uchiha Tokumitsu sheathed the Kodachi, "Mr. Orochimaru, who respects his teacher..."
