Orochimaru suddenly appeared on the training ground, saying that Hiruzen was very fond of him and wanted Orochimaru to take him as a disciple.
Yasu's eyebrow twitched slightly.
Hiruzen was indeed very fond of him and he could see that.
Because more than once, he had hinted to him that he could apply for the graduation exam in advance and become a formal ninja.
It's just that he pretended to be confused and somehow fooled him.
Yasu was unwilling to graduate early and become an ordinary ninja to perform those low-level tasks, which he felt was a waste of time.
Unless Hiruzen could clearly state that he could directly participate in combat missions after graduation.
If Hiruzen didn't make it clear, he wouldn't gamble on that chance.
If he lost the gamble, he would have to pick up trash.
But he didn't expect that when he was about to take the graduation exam in two days, Orochimaru would come to him in person.
And Hiruzen who introduced him to Orochimaru.
Yasu suddenly realized that the current Orochimaru was still one of Konoha's most prestigious Sannin, Hiruzen Sarutobi's proud disciple, and one of Konoha's pillars.
Orochimaru hadn't experienced being completely shat on by the Sharingan yet, he was just a Konoha ninja who wanted to learn all the jutsus in this world.
But Orochimaru at this time is still a little dangerous.
Because he lost his parents at a young age, and witnessed the deaths of his friend Kato Dan and his apprentice Nawaki, his thinking was already inclined to be negative, and he should have already begun to enter the darkness side.
Moreover, he will later unite with Konoha's high-level officials to conduct research on Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
And he, who possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan, is the best experimental material.
However, the Wood Release research should only happen after the end of the Third Ninja World War, when the next Hokage is being selected.
Now Yasu doesn't know whether Orochimaru has begun to learn the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu to revive the dead and research the immortality technique.
In general, the risk of becoming Orochimaru's disciple is not high at present, after all, he was personally introduced by Hiruzen.
Moreover, Orochimaru's teaching level is beyond doubt.
In the future, Uchiha Sasuke, as Orochimaru's disciple, he not only trained Sasuke very well, but also left a good foundation in teaching him to analyze the enemy's abilities and formulate strategies.
Although Yasu has now learned the Thunder Breathing Full Sword Style, it is only limited to the Thunder Breathing Full Sword Style and the basics taught in the ninja school.
Therefore, his training is only purely integrating the abilities he currently knows, and he hasn't learned anything new.
Becoming Orochimaru's disciple, he will always be taught something new.
Moreover, he also wants to learn about analyzing the enemy's abilities and formulating strategies.
Having made a decision, he bowed deeply and said: "Please accept me as a disciple, Lord Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru chuckled and said: "Although I am very interested in you, and the old man also hopes that I can accept you as a disciple, it does not mean that you will definitely become my disciple."
"I will give you a chance, with the determination that if you don't kill me, you will be killed, pass my test, as long as you pass the test, then you are my disciple."
Yasu stood up and asked: "I understand, Lord Orochimaru, then the test will start now, right?"
Orochimaru nodded slightly: "That's right, it starts now."
The moment his voice fell, Yasu immediately retreated and distanced himself from Orochimaru, his right hand resting on the hilt of the katana, gathering chakra, his hands and feet already flickering with lightning.
Orochimaru was very satisfied with Yasu's behavior, without being sloppy, he immediately prepared for battle after learning about the test.
"Thunder Breathing · First Form · Thunderclap and Flash!" (Ichi no kata: Hekireki Issen)
Yasu burst out in one breath, like a thunderclap tearing the air, approaching Orochimaru at high speed, performing a rapid draw and slash at him at a speed that even the naked eye couldn't see.
But after he performed the draw and slash, he didn't feel the feedback from the katana cutting into a solid object.
It was a clean cut, but Orochimaru was no longer in front of him.
He frowned, such a fast Body Flicker Technique.
Orochimaru's voice sounded from his side: "The speed is very good, but the weakness is also quite obvious, you can't change direction midway, it can only be a straight line, as long as the enemy sees through your attack, change direction before your attack arrives, even if it's only a body position, your attack will miss."
After Orochimaru made a hand seal, his arm was aimed at Yasu.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
Orochimaru instantly summoned several snakes on his arm, and these snakes rushed towards Yasu.
Yasu immediately changed direction and faced Orochimaru head-on.
"Thunder Breathing · Fourth Form · Distant Thunder!"
His body burst out with dazzling blue lightning, attacking Orochimaru at lightning speed, approaching him and swinging his blade for a high-speed slash.
The snakes summoned by Orochimaru hadn't even touched him before they were electrocuted by the lightning on his body.
Yasu slashed at Orochimaru at high speed, but Orochimaru dodged his slashes once again with ease.
Orochimaru then commented: "This move sacrifices some speed, but increases the strength of the lightning release chakra nature transformation, and the power is also good."
While dodging Yasu's slashes, Orochimaru quickly made hand seals with both hands.
"Wind Release · Great Breakthrough!"
Orochimaru spewed out a gust of wind from his mouth.
Although Wind Release · Great Breakthrough is a C-rank ninjutsu, the size of the scale changes depending on the caster's ability.
When used by excellent ninjas, the wind force has the destructive power to blow down a forest of hundred-year-old trees.
And Orochimaru is naturally an excellent ninja.
The gust of wind struck, and he was directly blown away.
At the same time, because Wind Release restrains Lightning Release, the lightning flickering on the surface of his body was blown away by the gust of wind.
Yasu, who thought he was going to be blown far away, suddenly stopped in the air.
A snake was wrapped around his body, and the end of the snake was wrapped around Orochimaru's arm.
Yasu was like a kite, floating in the air.
Just as he wanted to break free from the snake's restraint, Orochimaru pulled it suddenly, and he rushed uncontrollably towards him.
Orochimaru punched him heavily in the abdomen, and Yasu instantly flew backwards.
"Cough..."
Yasu widened his eyes, feeling like stomach acid was about to come out. He fell heavily to the ground, and rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
Orochimaru still looked calm and composed, commenting: "The ability to adapt on the spot is insufficient, when I used Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, before releasing Wind Release, and when pulling you over, you had a chance to escape or counterattack."
Yasu covered his abdomen and stood up from the ground, took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and directly activated the Sharingan.
