Chapter 99

Title: Orochimaru's Decision ​​

"Swordsmanship…in this world of pirates where mysterious devil fruits appear, there are still people practicing swordsmanship."

Seeing the fifth chapters, Orochimaru was a little surprised.

"Is there any problem?"

Some people think that this child is weird. They all read comics, but he talks the most.

Orochimaru shook his head hearing their questions and did not speak.

For him, training Swordsmanship is also equivalent to using a sword in the Ninja World which is stupid and ridiculous.

Seeing his expression, Akabane couldn't help but said: "Swordsmanship is not necessarily weak, the Land-of-Iron also has an expert in that expertise and It's not impossible for other villages to also have a Ninja that masters swords which will not lose to a Kage."

"Well, you have a point."

Orochimaru nodded and agreed, but it did not prevent him from despising the Samurai.

But if in the Pirate World a pirate doesn't eat Devil Fruit, it doesn't mean they are weakling.

Akabane slightly smiled, without much explanation.

These involve the follow-up plots, and he has to sell them first before spoiling the story.

After reading, Orochimaru closed the Comic book politely and put it on the shelf.

He glanced at Akabane, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I saw Tsunade, the Princess, and Akabane on the way here."

"Oh… Akabane was with Her Highness the Princess. No wonder I didn't see him."

"I'm not sure if he will come later, so I must ask carefully."

"Is I the only one who wants to see the princess?"

Everyone immediately became excited. Whether it is Akabane or the princess, it is exciting news for them.

But…

Orochimaru made this remark, not for them, his main goal is obviously Akabane, he wants to be alone with Akabane.

"Everyone, I will visit the other places first, I wish you all a good time."

Orochimaru got up and said and bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Akabane stood up and followed Orochimaru's footsteps.

After walking a few steps, he saw Orochimaru sticking under a big tree on the side of the road.

"Akaba, from the way I see it, it seems that you are not happy being with them. Using a Shadow Clone to fool Tsunade while you are here having fun yourself."

Orochimaru said gleefully.

Akabane rolled his eyes and couldn't help but feel bitter: "The two girls were like water and oil, they won't mix with each other. So if I get involved while in the middle, it will be a pain for me."

"Women are all troublesome creatures, but I am very happy to see you unhappy."

Orochimaru chuckled lightly and said.

Knowing that he will only suffer if they continue the topic, Akabane directly changes it and asks. "It seems that you have played enough Uchiha Ryo, have you let him go?"

"no, I left Shadow Clone."

Orochimaru With Transformation Jutsu, walk forward slowly and rhythmically.

Both of them are in a state of not being able to see the light, but there are many topics to talk about with each other.

He took a few steps and then said with emotion: "I wanted to learn from Akabane and write my own story. Later, I discovered that studying the mystery of Ninjutsu and studying the mystery of life, are what interest me the most."

Huh?

Akabane didn't know how to answer since this guy's aura suddenly changed into a learner from the way he talks.

He followed for a few steps, and then suddenly asked sternly: "Speaking of people."

Orochimaru froze for a while, then laughed: "From your story, I got a lot of inspiration, so comics are not entirely useless."

"What do you mean?"

Akabane froze for a moment, not quite sure what Orochimaru wanted to say. But he definitely has a reason for talking like that.

"Um…nothing, I just want to find someone to chat with."

Orochimaru said after a moment of silence.

"Which step is your deal with him?"

Akabane slightly frowned.

Orochimaru's mentality has changed a bit quickly.

"I am going to join them."

He answered indifferently and after a moment of silence he continued, "If I join them, there will be more opportunities to go out of the village."

Ninjutsu research requires a lot of support from experimental and theoretical knowledge.

He does not have the terrifying theoretical knowledge and talent of Second-Kage, so he can only choose more experiments.

"Be careful, he is not so easy to deal with, it is best to have enough strength to talk about it later."

Akabane muttered after a moment of silence.

Danzo's methods are very dark and vicious, he will push people into the abyss step by step.

"He is a poisonous snake, but…I am Orochimaru!"

[TL/n: Orochimaru also means "Big Snake" or "Serpent".]

Orochimaru answered in an extremely confident manner.

Associating with poisonous snakes, there are always times when he gets bitten back, but he is born as a snake.

"I see."

Akabane nodded and didn't say much since he knew that it won't change anything.

Although there are no outsiders in the range of his senses, he still has to keep enough guard against Danzo and the Anbu. If he can't talk about these things, you can say less about other aspects.

They walked a few steps to a relatively remote path.

Suddenly…

A gust of wind rolled up and followed by a silhouette in the middle of the road.

Danzo.

He looked at Orochimaru and then at Akabane. He was obviously taken aback, and then he said: "You are together, it saves me a lot of time."

"Teacher."

Akabane did not change back to his original form but bowed slightly.

"Ummu…in the land of the Uzumaki, there may be a war."

Danzo indifferently said.

"Just like I thought."

Orochimaru licked his lips and mumbled.

The exhibition was not just for talking when he saw the Daimyo, but also for pre-war negotiations.

So for him, this is an opportunity.

"What about the time?"

Akabane asked after a moment of thinking.

"The initiative is in their hands, we can only deal with it passively, but roughly the time is after the Chunin Exams."

Danzo lightly answered.

Akabane didn't continue asking, he doesn't want to go with Danzo, so it's better not to go.

"It looks like another war is coming."

Orochimaru said.

"War is inevitable. If Konoha wants to be stable, we must use thunder on other people."

Danzo said indifferently.

He looked at Akabane and Orochimaru, and then continued: "The probability of this game is Anbu and Gen. I hope you guys can help me."

"No one can say anything about the future, so I can't immediately agree."

Orochimaru said in an indifferent expression.

"Teacher, if you need to help with training, I am obliged to do so."

Akabane said very confusingly.

He didn't want to participate in the war, or at least he didn't want to participate in this war with Danzo.

As for Orochimaru…

He didn't have the slightest surprise or other emotions when he heard it, but just from the slight movement he made, he could still see that he was not that deep yet on his goal of joining Danzo's project.

"Un."

Danzo nodded, after looking at it, he said, "It's okay if you know what to do, I'll go first."

"Goodbye Teacher "

Akabane bowed slightly, then looked up when Danzo had left.

He narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself, did Danzo find out that they were working together?

Both of them are thinking about this in their hearts.

They were silent, walked a few steps each, and finally relaxed after a few minutes passed.

Judging from Danzo's action, there should be no discovery, but the fact that the two know each other's identities is probably expected by Danzo.

After all, he contributed to this situation.

"Akaba, I'm leaving first if there is nothing to do. There are still a lot of things for me to do."

Orochimaru lightly said, "Anyway, after the closing ceremony, I don't need to be present."

"Yes, it's fine."

Akabane flexed his muscles and stretched his waist, and look at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru slightly nodded, and then followed the path towards the village.

After following Orochimaru's back with his sight, Akabane glanced at the time and then calculated it a bit.

The two girls should finish a lap quickly, and the closing ceremony is almost here.

"I have to find some time to change the clone back."

He thought to himself.

If he lets Tsunade know that he left a Shadow Clone to fool her, it will definitely not be that good for him.
