Chapter 09: Nine-Transaction-1

Qingshui looked through the window of the ward at the roof of a residential building 20 meters away. Even with the cold light of the bright moon, he did not see anyone standing there. ‘Invisibility? ! ’ He guessed in his mind, ‘Who could it be? ! ' At this time, Qingshui could be said to have no ability to resist, and the chakra in his body was empty. Because he was seriously injured, he did not continue to synthesize chakra, because the body energy consumed to synthesize chakra would delay the recovery of the injury.

Now suddenly a powerful ninja used "invisibility" to lurk near him, which caused his nerves to be highly tense. His bloody experience in the Anbu for many years made him see too many "accidents".

Even though this is Konoha, in the S-level mission a few days ago, he killed almost 20 Sand Ninjas, and even the Sand Ninja ANBU Captain named Chensha lost one of his hands! The Sand Ninja must have hated him so much that they sent elite Anbu to sneak into Konoha to assassinate him. It was not impossible!

However, this chakra is too powerful, even stronger than the Tsunade who just left! In the past, when his perception had not reached this level, even if the Sandaime Hokage stood in front of him, he could only tell that "the Sandaime Hokage's chakra is indeed stronger than him, but the strength is limited."

It turns out that it's not that the Sandaime Hokage is too strong, but that his perception is too weak. This time, he deeply felt what it meant to be powerful, the hopeless gap that was beyond reach.

"A chakra stronger than Tsunade, one of the three ninjas?! Suna ninja has such a role?! Could it be that the Kazekage came in person?" Qingshui was a little unbelievable.

"Yiyuejun, don't be so nervous."

While Qing Shui was still hesitating whether to synthesize chakra, a somewhat unfamiliar voice broke into his ears. The other party has actually come to the window? ! When exactly? !

An instantaneous technique at this speed...

Qing Shui couldn't help but wonder, was it Minato Namikaze? ! But that voice...

While thinking, he raised his head and his eyes met a pair of yellow vertical pupils.

Orochimaru? ! It's Orochimaru! What is he here for? In fact, the image of Orochimaru as the villain in his previous life is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Let’s not mention the weird scientific experiments for now, but those horrifying human experiments are real. If the other party is interested, take him and slice him...

He had an impression of this. Before Orochimaru left Konoha, he dared to use Konoha's Anbu as experimental materials...

This innate impression deeply rooted in people's hearts has caused Qingshui to always stay away from this powerful ninja. Therefore, the only time he came into contact with Orochimaru was on the second ninja battlefield, the final battle... From then on, the two of them had no communication.

"It's really a very keen perception. Does April-kun have any special perception methods?" Orochimaru asked casually. When he was on the opposite roof, he saw April Qingshui trying to find him. Apparently, the other party was waiting for him before he came. He had been discovered by some means the moment he reached the roof.

Although concealment is not his specialty, it is not something that a ninja of April Qingshui's level can see through, not to mention that April Qingshui is not a ninja who is good at perception.

"Senior Orochimaru, what's the matter with coming so late?" Yueyue Qingshui did not answer Orochimaru's question, and his perception ability suddenly increased significantly. It is a bit unbelievable to say this. If Orochimaru was aroused by talking too much, Maru's interest or suspicion is really seeking death.

"Haha..." Orochimaru didn't care that Qingshui ignored his question. He was about to turn over and enter the window, but he was stagnant because he found a barrier - this was a sensory barrier! If you break in forcefully or try to erase this barrier, you will be noticed by the releaser of this barrier immediately. I guess this is arranged by Tsunade.

‘It turns out that the old man is quite fond of this junior. ’ That’s why Danzo was helpless and had no choice but to seek his help. If Danzo asked him to do it forcefully, maybe he could finally complete the deal with Danzo.

But this will never be the result he wants. Just for such a small benefit, he completely stands on the opposite side of the Sandaime Hokage, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Orochimaru had already made a decision in his heart. He smiled, but this smile looked a little scary in the cold moonlight. "I remember the last time I met Yuki-kun so close to each other. It should have been the Second Ninja War." It's time... It was in the final battle against Sansho Hanzo..."

Qingshui was a little surprised. It was natural that he could remember the contact with Orochimaru; but he was a powerful Sannin, why should he remember that he was a little Chuunin at that time? Coincidence?

"Yuki-kun's courage and determination when facing Hanzo can be said to be the most dazzling presence on the final battlefield... Not only me, Jiraiya and Tsunade must also be impressed." As if to answer. When Qingshui asked Orochimaru, he revealed the reason why he could remember Qingshui, a little ninja. "If Yuzuki-kun's talent wasn't really limited, he would have been recruited by all the major families."

Qing Shui remained silent. He was indeed a little passionate when he had the courage to face Hanzo, but the most fundamental reason was because he knew that in the end, Hanzo not only failed to kill all the Konoha ninjas and Sannin, but actually showed his kindness. , giving the three of them the title of "Sannin".

Otherwise, even if he had 100 courages, he wouldn't dare to make a mistake in front of the "demigod" Sanshouyu Hanzo! !

"I didn't expect that 6 years later, Yue Yue-kun has broken through the jounin bottleneck and grown to such an extent. This must have made many patriarchs of big families miss the point... No, I think everyone has made the mistake. "In fact, when April Shimizu was able to refine and synthesize chakra at the age of 2, Konoha really thought that a super genius would be born, so it once opened a green channel for him, an orphan.

But unexpectedly, as Qingshui grew up, the analysis of his body cell samples showed that his talent was actually very limited, and he could be said to be as ordinary as a commercial product. To put it bluntly, even if he reaches the age of 20 and his body energy is developed to the limit, he will still be unable to break through the bottleneck of jounin.

Therefore, after Shimizu relied on his amazing performance in childhood to obtain a cheap teacher - Kosuke Maruhoshi, who has the strength of an elite Jonin, Konoha Village no longer has resources to lean towards him, and major families will not choose to invest resources. To him; naturally, Namikaze Minato would not hand over the Rasengan to such an unknown ninja.

Class is an unavoidable product of human society. It was the same in the past life and it is the same in this life. It's nothing more than changing from money to strength. But to gain strength, what can you achieve by just practicing hard? Without a famous teacher, no opportunity, no talent, then - chunin, or special jounin, is the final destination. But in the Great Ninja War, even a Jonin may turn into a withered skeleton at any time.

"Senior Orochimaru came here late at night just to remind me that someone will notice me in the future? Maybe he will show his favor to me?" Qingshui said calmly.

"Yuyue-kun, it seems that he is very wary of me..." Orochimaru was not annoyed and continued, "Strong ninjas will naturally be recruited. As for where Yuki-kun chooses to stand, I don't care, and I don't care. I don’t mind. I’m just telling April Jun some facts from my personal standpoint.”

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils stared closely at Shimizu. His eyes seemed to have magic power, and his voice was low and magnetic, "Yuki-kun, the ANBU team you led has ceased to exist in name only. I want to wait until you return to ANBU." You’ll see three new faces.”

"What did you say??!!" Qingshui thought for a moment that he had heard wrong. He could not believe Orochimaru's hidden meaning.

"Your subordinate, Starfire has lost his legs and can no longer become a ninja; as for Gray Eagle and Arashi Fox, they are dead." Orochimaru's voice was cold and emotionless.

"How is it possible?! They have obviously been gone for at least half an hour...how could they not escape? How could the Suna ninja catch up with them." Qingshui's eyes gradually lost focus, and he could not accept Orochimaru's words.

"That's the truth. As one of the 'Three Ninjas', I am not bored enough to make up these lies to deceive you." When Orochimaru said this, he showed extremely strong confidence and arrogance.

It seems... things are really developing in the worst direction...

'how so? ! Why? ? ! ! ’

Qing Shui closed his eyes in pain. He forced himself to take a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that were about to burst out. After a while, he regained his composure. He lowered his head so that people could not see his face clearly, but his His voice was extremely indifferent, "Senior Orochimaru shouldn't just be here to tell me this, right?"

"Someone has offered a reward on the black market - April-kun, your head is worth 30 million taels. I think there will be many S-class ninjas willing to accept this commission. Everyone knows that this is a mission issued by Sunagakure Village, but who How can we refuse 30 million taels? Even if we are enemies of Konoha."

"Yuki-kun's strength is pretty good, but you are still too weak when facing a truly strong man. Because you lack truly powerful ninjutsu, and these are ones that Kosuke Maruhoshi doesn't know at all, and no one will teach you." You." Orochimaru's golden pupils seemed to be emitting the light of hope as he continued, "And I have the Ninjutsu Codex of the Second Hokage, which contains the S-level Ninjutsu of the Second Hokage."

"Your subordinates are very important to you, right? Otherwise, why would you give up the opportunity to escape and choose to be the bait alone? It's a pity that it backfired. You can't take revenge now because your strength is still too weak... "

"What do I need to do?" Qing Shui raised his head. There was nothing strange about his face, and his calm and deep eyes looked directly into Orochimaru's golden pupils.

"I was doing a research recently and ran into a little trouble. I think only April-Jun can help."

Human experiments?

"What kind of experiment can only I help you with?"

"I want to explore the secret of the power of ninjas, and Yuzuki-kun is a very good positive material. A non-bloodline ninja can break through the limits of his own talent and reach a higher field. I think it is of great research value." Orochimaru He smiled and said, "Just drawing blood and collecting body cell samples will not cause any harm to you, so you can rest assured."

Normally, Shimizu would not believe what Orochimaru said, even though he gave the so-called Sannin's promise, let alone agree to his seemingly tempting conditions, but Orochimaru was confident in his genjutsu It must have had quite a hypnotic effect as he was waiting for April Qingshui to agree to his terms.

"Okay, deal!"

"Wise choice!" Orochimaru smiled, then turned around and said back, "I will come to you again!"

Orochimaru left.

Did Orochimaru's genjutsu affect him? Maybe, but Shimizu didn't care. If a person has faith, then he will shine with incomparable brilliance: For the safety of the village, the fourth generation Hokage chose to sacrifice his life to seal the Kyuubi... The third generation Hokage, in order to settle the grudges of the year, repay the crimes he committed. For sin, they chose to die together with Orochimaru... and Jiraiya, who sneaked into the Rain Ninja Village alone and fought against god-like enemies without flinching... They have something they want to protect, so they are willing to make sacrifices. This is normal people Incomprehensible feelings.

And he, April Qingshui, came to this world twenty years ago, without a father or a mother. Most of his friends who grew up together were buried on the battlefield. He wandered around like a duckweed until he later joined the ANBU and gained harvest here. The sincere emotions like comrades-in-arms. Gray Eagle and Starfire, these are two subordinates whose backs can be entrusted to them. If they didn't have a strong sense of trust and friendship, it would never be possible... and Lanhu, not long ago, he He was actually still imagining that she could appear in front of him again and find some courage and courage to take that step...

Destiny is such a ridiculous bitch.

Perhaps, making a deal with a dangerous person like Orochimaru is asking for death. But so what? ! As long as he can obtain stronger power, he will not hesitate or shrink.

Under the cold moonlight, his hands dropped weakly, and a line of clear tears quietly slid down his cheeks.
