Orochimaru is walking out from the behind a big tree with a playful smile on his face.

Kakashi sees Orochimaru smiling, although the smile seems kind of normal, but Kakashi feels that there is something else from his smile just now.

After using Kirin, Kakashi's Sharingan was overburdened, causing his body to be a bit heavy. What's worse, after one night in the stream, and numerous battles, Kakashi now had a lot of wounds.

Although the wound is not fatal, it can be said that Kakashi's combat power right now is greatly reduced.

Even Mangekyō Sharingan can't be used for a while.

His body now feels heavy, he also can't use his Sharingan and now he needs to face Orochimaru, Kakashi could not help but smile.

'Is it the end of me?'

In the face of the death, Kakashi did not have much fear, but instead he is now feeling calm.

'I don't know why, but it is not as scary as I imagined.

Is it because I have already died once?'

Kakashi couldn't help but laughed at himself.

Orochimaru is naturally didn't know what is in Kakashi's mind, but he still feels that there is something strange from Kakashi.

Perhaps normal people can't see the change in Kakashi, but Orochimaru is very sensitive about this as he is a scientist.

Kakashi's condition is very bad right now, Orochimaru can see it at a glance.

Even so, Kakashi did not have the slightest tension and fear when facing him.

'Did he give up?

No! There's no way.

Kakashi has never been a weakling like that.'

Orochimaru suddenly found out that he could never understand Kakashi now.

Originally, he thought that Kakashi was just a good junior. But after getting the Sharingan, in Orochimaru's opinion, this outstanding boy is ruined in all likelihood.

After all, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is not easy to be used by an outsider.

But what Orochimaru didn't expect was that Kakashi was like a different person after Minato's death. He is not washed away by the sadness but train even harder. His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, giving Orochimaru surprises again and again.

Even when they meet at the cliff before, he feels that there is some fear but also confidence from Kakashi when they almost fight each other. That's why Orochimaru didn't fight him on the cliff.

Orochimaru's perception is very sensitive.

Last night, when people see the Thunder that is scorching the earth, others may not know who the Ninjutsu user is, but Orochimaru knows.

Because before the arrival of the Kirin, there were sound like thousands of birds are chirping, and it must be from Kakashi's chidori!

Except for Kakashi, no one else in this world can use this Ninjutsu.

'What an Amazing Ninjutsu Talent!

It is a beautiful and terrifying Ninjutsu!'

Orochimaru looks at Kakashi's eyes, his gaze is full of intoxication, as if he is a hunter that is staring at his prey.

Seeing the gaze from Kakashi and Orochimaru, Kimimaro seems to be an outsider right now, but he does not dare to move at all!

The terrifying pressure between the two makes Kimimaro aware of the terrifying crisis!

'If I move, I will be killed'

This is the only thing in Kimimaro's mind right now.

He starts to feels the cold sweat from his back.

'Who are these two people?'

"So Orochimaru, what are you doing here?"

"Haha, originally I just want to take this boy away, but now I see something more interesting."

Orochimaru said, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.

"Oh? What is the thing that makes you interested?"

Kakashi had a bad hunch in his heart, and he knows that Orochimaru's gaze right now is dangerous.

"Haha, Kakashi, you and I are all smart people. You should understand what I am saying. Is there anything else that can interest me besides you?"

"Ah, I really didn't think that I am actually interesting in your eyes. It really made me flattered."

"Haha, Kakashi, I didn't think that you, an outsider can use Sharingan to this extent, and you also developed that kind of terrifying Ninjutsu. Kakashi, I have to admit that it is not good if I kill you now. You are the most genius person I have ever seen, neither I nor Minato can match you."

Listening to Orochimaru's praise, Kakashi's heart didn't feel anything at all.

Seeing Kakashi doesn't talk, Orochimaru then continues talking: "Kakashi, I am more and more looking forward to your growth. For this, I will give you a present."

Kakashi' pupils shrank after hearing this. When he wants to say something, Orochimaru already form some hand seals.

Kakashi then see Orochimaru's neck moving like a snake toward him, and there are two fangs in his mouth!

"Ah!"

Kakashi screamed, Orochimaru's fangs had bitten Kakashi's neck!

'He's too fast!'

Kakashi right now is not in his best condition, so there is no chance for him to escape!

Kimimaro who is on the side also saw this scene then he starts to pale with fright, 'is this person monster?'

A moment later, Orochimaru's head had returned to him body. He is looking at Kakashi while showing a satisfied smile.

At this time, Kakashi had already crouched on the ground with his hand of his neck, and his handsome face was full of pain.

Three black Magatama-like things appeared on Kakashi's neck.

"Kakashi, this is the Cursed Seal of Heaven, although it is still incomplete, but it is already stronger than the one that Anko has. You should use it well."

Orochimaru wiped the saliva from his mouth and his expression looks very satisfied.

Kakashi didn't feel anything except pain at this time.

Without paying attention to Kakashi, Orochimaru turned and walked toward Kimimaro. Seeing this Kimimaro subconsciously took a step back.

"Haha, child, have you found the meaning of living?"

Kimimaro didn't know what to say, and his eyes are full of confusion. Obviously there is no answer to this question.

Orochimaru seeing this smile and then said, "Maybe, just maybe, there is no purpose in life. But if you linger a while longer in this world, you might discover something of value in it, like how you discovered me and I discovered you."

Orochimaru said that he reached out and touched Kimimaro's tender face, and Kimimaro's face could not help but getting red.

A moment later, Orochimaru turned and said, "Let's go, Kimimaro, follow me to find the meaning of our existence."

Orochimaru's words seem to have a magical power to lure Kimimaro to leave with him.

At the last moment of his departure, Kimimaro looked at Kakashi, who was still struggling.

'Is he one of the interesting things that I discovered?'

Shaking his head, Kimimaro didn't know what the answer was, but Kimimaro had a feeling that if he followed the man in front of him, he would find the answer.

From this day onward, Kimimaro will call him Orochimaru-sama!
