Chapter 49: Hidden Sound Village

"It's useless. With your strength, you can't possibly dispel my illusion."

Uchiha Itachi's voice had no emotional fluctuations.

It was as if he was facing not one of the legendary Sannin, but an ordinary Genin.

Orochimaru exuded a gloomy aura all over his body.

His expression was extremely ugly.

He had always pursued immortality and mastering all ninjutsu.

Uchiha Itachi's words were an unprecedented insult to him.

The thing that Orochimaru took pride in seemed to have no effect in front of him.

Even though he had the Curse Mark as a last resort and was not afraid of death.

He understood that his strength was far inferior to Uchiha Itachi.

Those eyes were definitely not ordinary Sharingan!

A glimmer of light flashed in Orochimaru's snake-like pupils.

It was possible for him to obtain it.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the pain in his body had greatly diminished.

A painting emerged in the blood-red illusionary world.

The painting depicted a boy of about ten years old.

Surprisingly, it was Uchiha Shisui.

After receiving information from Ibiki Morino, Uchiha Itachi arrived in Kirigakure in just over a day.

He even used Susanoo.

Uchiha Shisui's disappearance had thrown him and Shisui into chaos.

Now that he had received news about him, he absolutely couldn't miss it.

"Have you seen this person in Kirigakure?"

Uchiha Itachi's tone still sounded calm.

Orochimaru looked at it, feeling very unfamiliar.

According to his memory, if he had seen him, it would be impossible to forget.

Who exactly was this person?

To make Uchiha Itachi rush from Konoha to Kirigakure.

Orochimaru licked his lips and asked, "I have seen him. Do you want to know where he is?"

He planned to obtain some useful information.

But Uchiha Itachi's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.

Orochimaru instantly lost consciousness.

A few seconds later, he woke up and let out a scream.

Flames were burning his internal organs.

An unimaginable desire appeared in his eyes.

With his intelligence, he naturally knew what had just happened.

He was actually being controlled, and he had no ability to resist.

What kind of power did those eyes possess?!

At this moment, Orochimaru was not afraid, but rather excited to see the New World.

At the same time, outside, Li Xiang took a deep breath.

Orochimaru was screaming like a slaughtered pig.

It would be troublesome if he died.

Although he could be resurrected, it would still take time.

Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi didn't know about the Living Corpse Reincarnation. Otherwise, if he sealed Orochimaru with a Ten-Fist Sword, Orochimaru would have nowhere to cry.

Li Xiang gritted his teeth. The current situation was very dangerous, but it was also an opportunity.

If he saved Orochimaru, he could naturally join the Hidden Sound Village.

If Orochimaru refused to carry out the Leaf Collapse Plan, he could provide a little assistance.

He just needed to perfect the details to avoid arousing suspicion.

"Sir from Konoha."

Li Xiang raised his hand and said, "Over at the Mizukage's building, there is a masked ninja wearing the same clothes as him fighting our Kirigakure's Mizukage. Can you help..."

Before he could finish his words, Uchiha Itachi had already disappeared.

Compared to Orochimaru, there was no doubt that Obito had a greater attraction to him.

But before he left, he also left a big gift for Orochimaru.

Burning flames.

Without any surprises, Orochimaru would soon be burned to death.

Li Xiang quickly formed hand seals.

Waves of water surged onto Orochimaru's body, extinguishing the flames.

"Let's go! Head north!"

Orochimaru only managed to say this sentence before he passed out.

He had suffered torment in the illusion and his body was once again roasted by fire. It was difficult for his will to hold on.

Li Xiang carried him and ran.

He was also worried that Uchiha Itachi would come back.

At the seaside, he felt a tremendous and earth-shattering surge of chakra.

When he turned around, it turned out to be Susanoo.

"Oh, poor Obito, may God bless you."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he immediately jumped back.

The sound of breaking wind rang out.

Three snowflake-shaped crystal shurikens fell where he had just stood.

"Orochimaru-sama is injured!"

Li Xiang had already guessed who launched the attack.

Red Lotus, possessing Crystal Style.

"Injured?!"

A female ninja wearing a green coat immediately appeared and, upon noticing Orochimaru, quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Now is not the time to talk, let's hurry and leave. Haven't you seen that thing behind us?"

Li Xiang carried Orochimaru onto the boat.

Red Lotus glanced at Susanoo, shivered, picked up an oar, and paddled desperately.

"Do you know medical ninjutsu?"

She saw the green light in Li Xiang's hand and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't disturb!"

Li Xiang concentrated intently and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

Orochimaru's injuries were too severe.

Although he was a genius, it was impossible for him to reach Tsunade's level at the age of seven.

The green light in his right hand gradually condensed.

The Healing Resuscitation Technique!

It was supposed to be performed by several ninjas working together.

But now, there was only him.

He was running out of chakra!

For the first time, Li Xiang experienced the feeling of being completely drained.

He had no strength left in his body.

His face was as pale as a corpse that had been dead for months.

"Are you okay?"

Red Lotus was startled when she saw that Li Xiang hadn't moved for a long time and quickly asked.

She pushed him, but there was no response.

"What should I do?!"

Red Lotus had a good personality. Li Xiang had saved Orochimaru, so she considered him one of her own.

But now both of them were unconscious, and she didn't know medical ninjutsu.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure and steered the boat towards the Land of Hot Springs, then turned back to the Hidden Sound Village in the Land of Rice Fields.

Pain! It hurts so much!

Orochimaru woke up while holding his head.

His body instinctively tensed, but when he saw Red Lotus, he relaxed.

"Sir, you're finally awake?!"

Red Lotus had a tough time these past few days.

She was worried that Orochimaru and Li Xiang would meet their demise, and she was also worried that the powerful enemy who had injured Orochimaru would catch up to them.

Now that Orochimaru had woken up, she had someone to rely on.

"My injuries?"

Orochimaru realized.

He could feel the cells in his body growing frantically to fill the wound.

"He used medical ninjutsu to save you."

Red Lotus quickly said, "But he passed out afterwards. Can you see what's wrong?"

Orochimaru reached out and placed his hand on Li Xiang's forehead. After a moment, he said, "He's fine. He just needs a few days of rest. He exhausted his chakra."

A pensive look appeared in his eyes.

As a scientist, he knew how severe his injuries were from Uchiha Itachi.

The fact that Li Xiang was able to save most of him was simply a genius among geniuses.

There was no doubt that it gave him a great surprise.

This child... perhaps... could be...

Orochimaru licked his lips. Using Li Xiang for experiments or as a vessel would be too wasteful.

He had plenty of geniuses under his command, such as Kimimaro and the Sound Four, but none of them knew medical ninjutsu.

Li Xiang could easily become his assistant.

Most of Orochimaru's experiments involved the human body, and having an excellent medical ninja would undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Li Xiang had to be loyal enough.

In this regard, Orochimaru was confident.

Everyone in the Hidden Sound Village was wholeheartedly following him.
