Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Chapter 237

A few days later, outside the door of a room in a research institute in Konoha.

"Master Xia Yan, this is Master Oshemaru's laboratory."

A beautiful girl said to Xia Yan beside her.

"I've said it all, just call me Xia Yan."

Xia Yan scratched his head helplessly.

Although he has been hiding at home for the past few days, with the visits of Kushina, Ikaku-sensei, Fuyue and others, he still knows that he is very famous in Konoha because of his scandal with Tsunade.

And because of this scandal, all kinds of information about him have been dug out, and even the fact that he is Mito-sensei's disciple has changed from something that only a few people know to everyone.

In the eyes of ordinary ninjas, Mito was basically a legendary figure, and Xia Yan, who was her last disciple, was naturally looked up to because of this.

That's why the ninja in front of him is so respectful to him.

However, Xia Yan, who has always liked to keep a low profile, still misses the days when girls treated him well because of his handsome face, not his status.

"Then I'll just go in here by myself, thank you for leading the way."

Ignoring the winking eyes thrown by the other party, Xia Yan expressed his thanks and goodbye to Nun Nin.

After the girl reluctantly left, Xia Yan shook his head helplessly and smiled, and then knocked on the door of the laboratory in front of him.

In fact, Orochimaru had invited him here before, but Xia Yan was unable to attend the meeting because he went to find Tsunade.

Xia Yan, who originally had the idea of ​​making Orochimaru a tool man, actually planned to find an opportunity to talk to Orochimaru someday, but he did not expect to receive an invitation from Orochimaru just a few days after he came back...

Not long after, the door of the laboratory was opened with a small gap, and then a little purple-haired head that Xia Yan was slightly familiar with was slightly exposed, looking at him carefully.

"Long time no see, little sister Hongdou."

Xia Yan waved his hand and greeted with a smile.

"Ah, it's the big villain... No, it's you, the boss of the game hall!"

Hongdou also quickly recognized Xia Yan, and opened the doorway with a look of surprise.

In addition to studying the sealing technique in the research institute, she basically spent the rest of her time in the newly opened game hall.

So before Xia Yan set off to find Tsunade, Hongdou had seen him several times, and naturally recognized him quickly.

It's just that she couldn't think of why the owner of the game hall and teacher of the ninja school appeared here.

At this time, there was another slight sound of footsteps coming from inside, and the two of them saw that Orochimaru, who had just finished the experiment, also came over.

"I didn't expect Xia Yanjun, you and Hongdou also know each other. That would save you the time to introduce yourself."

Orochimaru said in his unique voice while taking off his gloves, and at the same time looked at the two with great interest.

At this moment, Hongdou's heart suddenly tightened, and she felt an ominous premonition.

Then she heard Xia Yan laughing:

"Haha, Master Orochimaru may not know, you little apprentice is a frequent visitor to my game hall, especially Wood Dun vs. Zombies is a sneaky game."

"Oh? Wood Dun vs Zombies..."

Orochimaru glanced at the petrified red beans and smiled playfully.

"Didn't you always say that you have too much homework, Hongdou, that you don't even have time to rest?"

"It seems that you are just being modest, there is still room for more learning..."

Hongdou opened her mouth, but as a five-year-old human cub, she has not yet mastered the skill of sophistry, so she can only remain speechless.

All she could do was draw circles behind Xia Yan's back and curse him after Xia Yan walked into the laboratory.

"Wow, as expected, this villain is my lifelong enemy!!!"

But Xia Yan, who noticed Hongdou's little trick, smiled secretly in his heart.

You little girl called me a big villain just now, did you think I didn't hear clearly?
And the tragedy of Hongdou did not end there.

Because soon Orochimaru said again:
"Xia Yanjun, I'm sorry, I rarely have guests here, so I haven't prepared anything to greet you."

"—By the way, Hongdou, I remember you brought some snacks for afternoon tea..."

……

After Orochimaru assigned another pile of homework, and then sent the mournful red beans aside to do the homework, the two sat down, with two cups of tea and a few strings of three-color balls on the table.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Orochimaru slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Tsunade……"

"Master Tsunade and I are innocent!"

Before Orochimaru finished speaking, Xia Yan suddenly interrupted.

It is really that too many people have asked him this question these days, which made him form a conditioned reflex.

However, Orochimaru just smiled hoarsely, and said: "Xia Yanjun, don't worry, Tsunade has already told me."

"But you have to be careful. Although Tsunade is not young, he has always been an idol in the hearts of many people in the village. If someone makes trouble for you, I won't be surprised at all."

Orochimaru had a rare look of gloating, and then pointed out: "But I don't think there is any need to worry about Xia Yan, except for a certain white-haired idiot, I am afraid that there are not many people who can really do anything to Xia Yanjun you."

"After all, I've heard that Xia Yanjun, you were able to draw a tie with that famous bounty hunter. It's really amazing..."

"It seems that you are much better than when you sparred with me last time. This speed of improvement is really scary. Is Mito-sama's teaching level so high?"

Xia Yan waved his hands and said humbly, "Master Dashemaru, you are over-rewarding."

"I barely resisted Kakuzu-san's attack just because I had a few novel moves. If Tsunade-sama hadn't arrived in time, you might not see me now."

Orochimaru laughed noncommittally a few times, and then followed the topic:
"It's just that I didn't expect you to meet Kakutsu on this trip to find Tsunade."

"Actually, I'm very interested in the rumored immortal body he possesses."

"So I don't know Xia Yanjun who has actually fought against him, can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"Of course, in exchange, I will also provide some information that Xia Yanjun is interested in."

It was only then that Xia Yan realized that Dashewan's previous words were all foreshadowing this purpose.

Looking at his familiar appearance, Xia Yan knew that he had made such deals with others.

That’s right, although Orochimaru thinks that a ninja is someone who masters ninjutsu, so he is determined to master all ninjutsu, but it is impossible to redevelop each ninjutsu by himself. It is very reasonable and useful to exchange ninjutsu or information with others. efficient approach.

Xia Yan actually had the same idea when he went to the appointment this time, so the two hit it off.

So Xia Yan was not pretentious, and began to directly tell the story of his battle with Jiaodu.

Of course, it is an abridged version of Orochimaru's special confession. It only tells some details that help to understand the principle of Kakuzu's so-called immortal body, and his actions are just a passing mention.

It can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven, Jiaodu exchanged his information for money and brought Xia Yan a lot of trouble, but this time it was Xia Yan's turn to use Jiaodu's information in exchange for benefits.

Although it was only a partial detail, after listening to Xia Yan's narration, Orochimaru couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his lips. The golden vertical pupils seemed to be glowing in the dark laboratory.

"It's actually an interesting way of thinking that you can obtain immortality by taking other people's hearts."

"Sure enough, there are still too many mysteries in this ninja world that I don't know. I really don't know whether to be happy or sad..."

Then Orochimaru reviewed Xia Yan's words again, and then said thoughtfully:

"According to Xia Yan, those black tentacles in Kakuzu shouldn't be pure ninjutsu..."

Xia Yan nodded and said: "Indeed, those black tentacles are not so much ninjutsu, but rather a strange creature that co-exists with Kakuzu, just like..."

"The parasite secret technique of the Younv Clan..." Orochimaru added.

Xia Yan nodded to show that he thought so too.

The two kinds of secret techniques are to use one's body as a container for some kind of creature to lodge in it, and then use Chakra as a bond to achieve a strange symbiotic relationship. "

So Orochimaru, who understood the principle of the immortality of the horns, suddenly lost interest.

Obviously, this kind of half-baked immortality is not what Orochimaru wants.

"It seems that although the immortal body of this Jiaodu is still genuine, it may not be so easy to achieve real longevity..."

Orochimaru stared at Xia Yandao, "Xia Yanjun, do you know why?"

Xia Yan hesitated a little, but said straightforwardly: "Is it a soul?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he laughed again and said:

"As expected of Xia Yanjun, I really know this."

"Few people know the fact that in addition to the aging of the body, the soul corresponding to the body is also slowly aging."

"It's just that almost everyone's body has reached its limit long before their soul fails and dies, so they don't know this fact."

"Although there are many legends about immortality in the ninja world, none of them involve the realm of the soul at all."

"Even if you live for hundreds of years by relying on the immortality of your body, you will still die due to the exhaustion of your soul, which is not considered a true immortality."

Listening to Orochimaru commenting on Kakuto's immortal body, Xia Yan felt a strange sense of sight for no reason.

What kind of Aunt Snake's tea balls are immortal?

Sure enough, Orochimaru sighed next:

"The only ones who really have the opportunity to set foot on the longevity are people like Xia Yanjun, you and me who understand the importance of the soul..."

God, there was no thunder.

That's why Xia Yan didn't tremble when he picked up the green tea. After taking a sip, he said in a slightly speechless voice:

"Master Orochimaru, I haven't thought so far yet. After all, I'm still in my twenties. Longevity is too far away..."

"By the way, Master Orochimaru, you are only in your early thirties, so don't be in such a hurry..."

"Hehe, if I think about it when I get old, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Orochimaru, who also seemed to feel that he had lost his composure just now, ended the topic with the above emotion.

After taking a sip of tea, he smiled slowly.

"Even so, the information you provided, Xia Yan, is still very interesting."

"Then it's your turn, Xia Yan, what do you want to know?"

At last it was him.

Xia Yan thought to himself, in fact, it is quite appropriate to ask sideways about the topic of the soul to ask about the knowledge of the curse seal, but with the scroll given by Teacher Mito, there is no need to take such a risk.

So Xia Yan still asked the question he had prepared before:
"I don't know, Oshemaru-sama, have you ever heard of a ninjutsu that absorbs Chakra?"
