Kapitel 28: Chapter 28: Lesson
The next day, Orochimaru, who had mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, eagerly attended the class with Tsunade, but his mind seemed to be wandering elsewhere.
There was a reason why Orochimaru chose to develop the Mystical Palm Technique before delving into Chidori and the Rasengan. The healing abilities of Mystical Palm Technique were simply astounding. Practicing Chidori and Rasengan could easily result in self-harm, which was much riskier than medical ninjutsu. Currently, Orochimaru was all alone, and his connections weren't very strong. Asking Tsunade for help over a trivial matter didn't seem worth it. Therefore, relying on his own medical skills for self-medication was a better option for now. His primary focus was to improve his survivability by transforming his body, and the development of Mystical Palm Technique could serve as both learning and practical use.
But Orochimaru faced a limitation in his experimental materials. What should he do?
Of course, the solution was simple— get them from a prominent clan!
Furthermore, Orochimaru needed a bargaining chip. Mystical Palm Technique was the perfect way to showcase his value. As a seven-year-old ninja researching A-level medical ninjutsu, it would undoubtedly create a sensation and attract attention from various powerful figures who wouldn't let go of such a genius.
Personal strength was crucial, but until one surpassed a certain barrier, background and connections became equally important.
Just look at White Fang, the head of Konoha's Anbu, whose strength rivaled Sarutobi Hizen's, and yet, we never saw him demonstrate his abilities. He was practically controlled and manipulated by the elders.
Tsunade had been away from Konoha for many years, assuming the identity of Senju Princess. Didn't numerous powerful figures approach her, seeking to appoint her as Hokage?
Had anyone considered the feelings of Danzo?!
Orochimaru pondered which prominent figure to establish a relationship with for the time being. The Senju family seemed to be the best choice at the moment. The Uchiha clan possessed many valuable assets, but they were also quite proud. The Hyuga clan had their Byakugan bloodline and but were inclusive.
Just then, a medical ninja appeared at the door and whispered to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, someone is looking for you at the door."
"Oh?" Orochimaru walked out curiously.
Four individuals stood at the entrance of the medical class. Judging by their attire, a fan symbol behind their blue and black clothing identified them as members of the Uchiha clan.
Seeing their arrogant and haughty expressions, Orochimaru knew who they were.
"You must be Orochimaru." The leader, a teenage ninja towering over Orochimaru, looked down at him coldly. "I am Uchiha Ken, and I've been sent by the Third Elder to take you to the Uchiha clan to discuss something. Come with me immediately!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Orochimaru retorted, "Why should I go with you? I don't even know why your Third Elder wants to see me."
In his previous life, Orochimaru had encountered many stubborn individuals who needed a lesson in humility. However, he had to restrain himself due to societal rules governed by the law. But this world was different—might made right! And Orochimaru's thirst for power was real!
"You don't need to know the reason; just know that this is an opportunity given to you by the Uchiha clan—a great honor!" Uchiha Ken closed his eyes and reopened them, revealing two slowly rotating Sharingan in his bright red pupils.
Sharingan, huh? Quite intriguing! Orochimaru's icy snake eyes flashed with killing intent as he stared back, the power he had yearned for and suffered to obtain—the eyes of insight.
Orochimaru's mental power surged like a turbulent wave, and his dark golden snake pupils locked onto Uchiha Ken's.
"Ah!" Uchiha Ken let out a low scream, feeling as though he had been pricked by needles. His eyes teared up, and his head throbbed, instinctively causing him to shut his eyes and step back.
Orochimaru sneered with disdain. "Waste."
This humiliation infuriated Uchiha Ken, who now felt extremely insulted. His eyes, however, were unable to open immediately after the stimulation, adding to the irony.
"You!" Uchiha Ken trembled with anger, but he couldn't open his eyes at that moment, which was quite amusing.
The subordinates of Uchiha Ken tried to step up and deal with Orochimaru but Orochimaru easily dealt with them.
This attracted the crowd.
"I guess he was just trying to cause trouble. Even the great Uchiha clan can be pathetic!"
"Haha, this is so amusing!"
The crowd around them grew, and Uchiha's reputation was already bad among the villagers. Now, seeing Uchiha Ken's downfall, they couldn't help but revel in it.
"Damn you! You've offended the Uchiha!"
