Orochimaru recalled the time when Kaoru stood there with a calm face, and the aura he emitted alone made him feel uneasy.
"Is that so, since even one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, has come to persuade me personally, then I must accept this favor!" Zabuza's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he said slowly.
Zabuza knew very well that from the moment Orochimaru appeared, he had no choice but to obediently follow Orochimaru's ideas, otherwise, the end would probably be death......
"Very good." A smile appeared on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth, "It's best if you can agree like this, but before that, I want to do one thing....."
"Do one thing?" Zabuza was stunned.
"That's right, you are too weak now. Since you want to help me, I must strengthen you and your companion's strength." Saying this, Orochimaru glanced at Haku beside him.
"I'm going to give you two a kind of power....." Orochimaru said slowly.
"Oh, is it that? Orochimaru-sama really values them two." Hearing Orochimaru say this, Ukon said.
"I hope you can fully master my power in the next week." Orochimaru smiled, and then his head moved suddenly, his neck stretched out violently, and pounced towards Zabuza.
"Zabuza-sama!" Haku's heart moved, and he stepped forward suddenly, coming in front of Zabuza.
"Water Style Secret Technique: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"
Haku waved a large amount of water stains with both hands, and the water stains turned into a large number of senbon in the air, shooting towards Orochimaru's head.
"Such a poor ninjutsu is useless to me!" Orochimaru snorted coldly, "But you care about him so much, so let's start with you first!"
With that said, Orochimaru turned his head and rushed straight towards Haku. All the senbon that Haku used were all stuck on Orochimaru's head, but they didn't cause any injuries.
"Puchi!"
In the next second, Orochimaru's head had already appeared beside Haku, he opened his mouth and bit Haku's neck directly!
"Ah!!! Zabuza-sama!" Haku cried out in pain, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Damn it, what did you do to Haku!" Zabuza shouted frantically when he saw what Orochimaru had done. He couldn't move at all now, and could only watch helplessly as Orochimaru performed violence on Haku.
"Didn't I say, I'm giving you power....." Orochimaru's laughter came, making this scene even more bizarre.
After a while, Orochimaru let go of Haku's neck. His strange snake eyes turned and looked at Zabuza, who was still lying on the bed: "Don't worry, you're next."
"Damn it......" Haku painfully covered his neck, and endless pain poured out from there. Zabuza looked up and found that on Haku's neck, where Orochimaru had bitten, there were three tadpole-shaped black rune imprints.
"What is this cursed seal?" Zabuza was shocked.
"A cursed seal that gives you power." Orochimaru smiled, "Don't worry, you will thank me after you accept this."
.......
Land of Waves, in Tazuna's room.
The tired Kakashi opened his eyes. At this time, he was lying on the bed.
"Kakashi-sensei, you finally came to your senses....." Seeing Kakashi wake up, the students all surrounded him.
"It seems it was caused by excessive consumption of the Sharingan and some exhaustion of chakra." Kaoru said on the side.
"That's right." Kakashi nodded helplessly, "It seems that I will have to stay like this for a week."
"Kakashi-sensei, you really made us worry to death."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, it's great that you're okay."
"Okay, okay, you guys leave here first, I have something to say to Kaoru." Kakashi was a little annoyed by the students' chatter, and waved his hand.
"Well, you guys leave first." Kaoru also waved his hand.
Seeing that the two teachers said so, the students had no choice but to leave the room.
"Speak, Kakashi." Seeing that the students had all left, Kaoru said.
"I want to know, what do you think about the five ninjas who appeared inexplicably?" Kakashi asked, "I remember that the guy with six arms who was blown up by your clone mentioned that you were someone who was targeted by Orochimaru, what does that mean?"
"Just like that guy said." Kaoru nodded: "It seems that I have been targeted by Orochimaru. It is estimated that the five ninjas who appeared suddenly are all subordinates of Orochimaru, and their purpose is not Mr. Tazuna, but me."
"If that's the case, it's troublesome......" Kakashi shook his head depressedly: "I'm afraid I have to lie down for a week now, and we are now in the Land of Waves, which is just an island nation, and there is no way to ask Konoha for help. I have estimated a little bit, the strength of those five guys are all different, and if they cooperate, it can be said to be quite tricky, plus Zabuza and that young man with a mask are not dead..... This also means that next time we may face the attack of seven powerful ninjas."
Kaoru frowned. One of the Sound Five had been blown up by him, and there were four others. Except for Kimimaro, who was a bit tricky, the others were not worth worrying about, and Zabuza and Haku should also be able to deal with them. The only trouble was that Orochimaru might personally take action.....
In the original story, Orochimaru once strangled the Fourth Kazekage together with Kimimaro. If it weren't for Kimimaro's serious illness, Gaara and Rock Lee would have been killed by him. Kimimaro's strength was not weak, plus the shadow-level Orochimaru and his super perverted forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation, this time can be said to be the biggest challenge for Kaoru since the Uchiha clan was wiped out.
The Sound Five, Zabuza, Haku, and the terrifying Orochimaru, this lineup is even more luxurious than when they invaded Konoha......
What Kaoru was most worried about was his sister and the students. Now they had just graduated from ninja school, and they were probably no match for even the Sound Ninja Four excluding Kimimaro. If they were to fight against Orochimaru and others, they would definitely be just lambs to the slaughter.
For Kaoru, he naturally couldn't let this happen.
"Kakashi-senpai, let's do this." Kaoru said, "Orochimaru's subordinates' target is me, in that case, I will leave the Land of Waves separately from you, so that you can safely return to Konoha."
"No way!" Kakashi shook his head decisively, with determination in his eyes: "If you do this, it will be too dangerous for you. Those seven ninjas gathered together, it can be said that killing a Jonin is easy, I will not give up any companion!"
Hearing Kakashi's words, Kaoru's heart was indeed a little touched. The current Kakashi was no longer the cold-blooded Kakashi of the past. After experiencing Obito's death, and serving as a Jonin leader for several years, he had a very good understanding of what his father, Sakumo Hatake, had done back then. He now valued his companions extremely important.
It's just that there was no time to protect the so-called companionship right now.
Thinking of this, Kaoru continued, "Kakashi-senpai, you need to know that if we continue to be together, I'm afraid we two Jonin won't be able to protect the students. In that case, it's better to abandon me and let me draw away the enemy's firepower, leaving a chance for you to survive. Besides, I won't necessarily die."
"No, I absolutely can't bring myself to abandon my companion!" Kakashi still stubbornly shook his head.
