Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 24 【024】Cicada Chirping

As Aida swept Hui's gaze, a slender figure slowly walked out of the originally dark woods.

Orochimaru's skin was still pale, and under the faint moonlight it glowed like ripples on the snake's scales, like the light of a lake. His pair of vertical pupils shrank into straight lines, and there was a smile on his face.

After his figure was revealed, he had no intention of hiding any more, and his voice was a little hoarse:

"Aida-kun, you really hide everything."

Orochimaru walked slowly out of the dense forest, and his ninja shoes fell on the messy lawn between the woods, but there was no sound.

"Strength, intelligence, investigative power, and business acumen."

"To be honest, until I read all your mission reports for the past six years, I didn't notice any problems in them. It seems that you are just an ordinary ninja who is diligent enough but has no talent."

"From the time you graduated at the age of nine until the time you took the initiative to expose yourself, your life has been packaged perfectly."

"Until half a month ago."

Slowly, Orochimaru stood three meters in front of Aida Masaki.

The flexible tongue stuck out of the lips and subconsciously traced the corners of the mouth - but Masaki Aida understood that the poisonous snake spitting out a message was a clear signal of detection.

This means that he may take action at any time.

However, even without these strong hints of danger, Aida Masaki could clearly feel the killing intent and chakra fluctuations emanating from the other party that swallowed everything like a tsunami.

This is a special technique formed by the connection between illusion and chakra, which can expand a certain psychological suggestion without limit.

In the dark night, the chirping of cicadas became more rapid, harsh, and sharp.

"Can you tell me why?"

The voice was so clear that it seemed to be ringing in Aida Masaki's ears.

However, Aida Masaki's face still had that warm smile that couldn't be more genial:

"of course"

As soon as he spoke, he saw an arc of light as bright as moonlight suddenly light up in the narrow space between the two people.

The arm-length dagger, fully infused with chakra, tore through the air as fast as a thunderbolt, but it didn't make the slightest sound.

It wasn't until his eyes captured that scene that his ears had time to receive the dull crackling sound, as if he was half a step too slow.

However, this sword that was faster than the sound was not for attack, but for defense.

"Ding!"

The clone that emerged from the ground behind Aida Masaki stabbed out the kunai, but the short sword that arrived first went around a full moon faster than the kunai.

The steel kunai uniformly customized by the Konoha army, under this chakra-attached sword, only had time to survive the short half second when it made a sound.

Immediately afterwards, it was divided into two parts like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Also split in two was the earth clone holding a kunai. The sword penetrated the body from the shoulder and cut out from the waist. The wind of the sword ripped open the ground and drew a long mark.

At the same time, at the moment when the sword light came on, Orochimaru was even faster than Aida Masaki, disappearing and reappearing at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and quickly forming seals with his hands.

If there is a knowledgeable and powerful Jōnin present, he will definitely recognize that it is a wind release and body-blinking technique that still maintains a high degree of completion in the Muji state.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

The moment the hoarse voice sounded, a Category 12 hurricane rose out of thin air in the not-so-wide area. The strong air kinetic energy could almost uproot huge trees that were slightly closer.

However, the most deadly thing is the wind blade hidden in this hurricane, as sinister as a blade.

However, Aida Masaki seemed to have expected it, and missed the hit. The "Toki-e" short sword held in the right hand was immediately switched to the reverse grip in the left hand. The whole body was almost parallel to the ground, and at an acute angle that was almost touching the ground, he was caught in the violent hurricane.

Moving quickly.

No questioning, no hesitation, no hesitation.

After the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, perhaps to a certain extent, there was an iron rule called "order" among the ninjas in the same village who were originally in the chaotic and evil camp.

But this rule will only take effect when the status is equal.

For those who hold a high status and have the right to speak about order, it is in name only.

Ninjas should always speak with their strength.

"laugh--"

The moment his footsteps rubbed against the ground, a slight wave of air exploded.

The powerful explosive force of the body and the heat emanating from the life energy made even Orochimaru feel frightened. Instead, an even more astonishing light bloomed in those golden vertical pupils.

"Water Escape·Water Crush Wave."

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk."

The waves of water that exploded from the mouth were mixed with the cascading flashes of thunder. Driven by an almost unlimited amount of chakra, they seemed to be endlessly swallowed up in the direction of Aida Masaki, as if a majestic churning was built in front of him.

The huge wall roared to swallow up everything in sight.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"

"Rumble--"

A low groan, which seemed extremely weak amid the roar of the water waves, sounded almost at the same time as the thundering waves. The huge amount of sea water flashing with bright thunder light engulfed everything in sight, leaving nothing behind.

However, Orochimaru's reaction was far faster than that of ordinary ninjas, and there were no silly questions like 'Are you dead?'. He almost without any hesitation pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed towards the ground behind him.

Whistling out.

"Ding dong!"

The figure suddenly jumped out of the ground and struck out with two knives in succession at the moment he turned over. He barely blocked the sword at a speed that was more than a step faster than ordinary people. The blade collapsed in two places, but the steps under his feet did not stop at all.

mean.

An inch long, an inch strong.

Length is not only an advantage for men, but also an advantage for weapons.

Therefore, Aida Masaki had almost no hesitation. The moment he flew out, he used his speed to erase Orochimaru's arm span suppression, quickly got close to a distance that was almost like a ballroom dance, and held Toki'e behind his back and drew a trace on his wrist.

hit.

Blood immediately flew out.

What was unexpected was that Orochimaru had no intention of continuing to distance himself from him. Instead, he licked the corners of his lips excitedly, and while Aida was slashing the knife, he quickly raised his knee and hit him accurately.

With numbness in his elbow, he directly knocked the short knife from Xiangtian Shoghui's hand away.

The situation changed in just this moment, and both of them dropped their weapons at the same time.

Orochimaru's golden eyes shone with astonishing brilliance. He did not leave any room for Aida Masaki to escape, and his body moved his elbows, raised his knees, swung his arms into his legs, and quickly swung his body sideways at an extremely fast speed.

, under a series of blows, there was a muffled sound of body collision.

After this set of standard and almost textbook Konoha fluid techniques was launched, Aida Masaki discovered that Orochimaru was not inferior to Konoha's most powerful taijutsu jounin in terms of flexibility, strength or speed.

Aida Masaki, whose body was still in the developmental stage, was suppressed for a moment.

Orochimaru is now in his thirties, a period when a man is at his peak physically and mentally.

Although his body has become riddled with holes due to countless modifications and enhancements, these modifications undoubtedly have only one purpose.

powerful.

All-around powerful.

The man in front of him, who was called "Cold Lord" Orochimaru by the entire ninja world, spent the entire first half of his life on the road to pursuing the ultimate limit of self-perfection.

Wind, thunder, fire, earth, water, or yin and yang.

Ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, or sealing jutsu.

What he can see and learn must be the best.

Against the background of the two green leaves of Jiraiya and Tsunade, the cold Lord Orochimaru, who sacrificed countless ninja lives in the war to earn his reputation as a "genius", is far from being the weak and corrupt degenerate who was corroded by serious illness in later generations.

appearance.

It was precisely because of this that when he saw a young genius who was more dazzling than himself before, so bright that he had to learn to hide his brilliance through self-burying at such a young age.

"It's only natural to want to weigh him, right?"

"boom!"

At the same time as the sound sounded, Orochimaru was seen using a flexibility that was almost impossible for humans to bend over the defense and punched Aida Masaki on the right side of his face.

His neck was broken almost at a right angle.

As long as he is a normal person, he should die.

However, Aida Masaki's body was still standing there, and his waving arm stopped an inch in front of Orochimaru.

At the same time, a voice sounded in his ear that was as plain as a stick reading.

But it seemed like he was reading Orochimaru's virtually constructed mental activities that were frequently affected by illusions.

The cold feeling made the hair or scales on Orochimaru's back almost stand up.

Slowly, the hand of the body with a broken neck stopped in front of Orochimaru, like a real corpse, stiffly stretched out a finger.

Point straight to the right.

Orochimaru's pupils narrowed slightly and he turned his head in the direction of his fingertips.

Aida Masaki was still standing where he was.

Just like the first time, the smile is warm and gentle.

In the forest, the chirping of cicadas completely disappeared.
