Chapter 247 Orochimaru: My Target?
Orochimaru...is dead?
The sudden scene stunned Hongdou, who was still in pain, and she even temporarily forgot about the pain.
He just stared blankly at the headless corpse.
Immediately afterwards, his whole body went limp.
It's as if it has lost all support.
Just as Hongdou was about to fall headfirst, Baiyun Qingye quickly reached out and caught her.
"Sister Red Bean, are you alright?"
Leaning against Shirokumo Aoba, looking at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, Anko said somewhat helplessly, half-jokingly.
"I never expected that you, Xiao Qingye, would actually save me like a hero."
"This is all thanks to your cooperation, Sister Hongdou."
Baiyun Qingye answered with a smile.
However, he received no response because Hongdou had already fainted.
It's probably because the cursed seal consumed too much energy, and they didn't eat the pills to replenish it in time.
However, at this moment, Hongdou appeared much more delicate than her usual carefree self.
Like a little girl who is easily bullied.
Baiyun Qingye gently placed the red beans on a flat surface.
Orochimaru's headless corpse, lying on the ground, suddenly began to writhe silently.
Suddenly, the still-bleeding neck split open, and a completely new Orochimaru silently emerged.
It was Orochi-ryu's stand-in.
A pale neck stretched out in a horrifying way, lunging towards the back of Baiyun Qingye's neck.
At this moment, strange patterns appeared in Baiyun Qingye's red pupils and began to rotate.
"Feng Jue!"
A transparent square space suddenly expanded outwards from the center of white clouds and green leaves.
In just a moment, it passed over Orochimaru's body and enveloped the surrounding area.
All sounds are silent.
Orochimaru, who was about to bite Shirokumo Aoba's neck, stopped in his tracks.
Remaining motionless in its original position, its golden eyes became empty and lifeless.
It looks like a strange doll fixed in mid-air.
However, this doll's neck is a bit too long, making it look like it came straight out of a Junji Ito work.
Shirokumo Aoba stood up and turned to look at Orochimaru.
He has complete control over everything in this space.
Whether it's time, space, or even human thought, it's all the same.
then.
Based on this ability, Shirakumo Aoba began to manipulate Orochimaru's mind.
……
"vomit!"
Orochimaru's first action after being able to move was to uncontrollably retch.
The feeling he had just experienced left him with an indescribable, strange sensation.
It's like the few seconds it takes for someone to regain consciousness after being anesthetized.
Even though I couldn't move at all, I felt like any slight movement would be magnified tenfold. What I meant by just shaking my head felt like my whole body was being flung away.
He seemed to have entered another space, where time seemed to stand still, yet also as if only a second had passed.
He felt as if a finger was stirring inside his brain.
The person was constantly teetering between life and death.
The feeling of being so close to death filled him with immense terror.
"Cough cough..."
Gasping for breath, Orochimaru felt like he was about to vomit his guts out, but he couldn't resist the strange, twisting pain he had just experienced.
"This is truly astonishing. What kind of power is this?"
After Orochimaru managed to adjust his body, he began to survey his surroundings.
Although the scene was exactly the same as the original, it was filled with an inexplicable sense of strangeness.
It was as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button on the entire space.
Everything came to a standstill.
The falling leaves froze in mid-air, while the large birds around them remained motionless, flapping their wings.
Orochimaru's gaze finally settled on Shirokumo Aoba.
His recent experience made it difficult for him to even entertain the idea of launching a sneak attack.
"It seems I have nowhere to run."
He could sense that all his connections with the outside world had been severed.
Even reverse channeling is impossible.
This must be some kind of space-time ninjutsu. Although the surrounding environment has not changed, he should now be in a completely independent space.
He couldn't guarantee that he could escape from this place by using his trump card.
You can understand it that way.
Baiyun and Qingye revealed a faint smile.
"There is no murderous intent emanating from you."
He found himself unable to understand the white-haired boy in front of him; the boy didn't seem to have any intention of fighting him.
But why torture him like that again?
However, he didn't want to experience that kind of torment again.
Orochimaru, are you interested in returning to Konoha?
Bai Yunqingye asked with a smile.
Orochimaru's expression froze for a moment.
"Can you accept me conducting experiments on human subjects?"
“There are many death row inmates in prison, but I don’t recommend you do that.”
Baiyun Qingye answered with a light smile.
"Then forget it. If I can't freely study what I like, I'd rather die here."
Orochimaru revealed a sinister smile, or rather, dying here was the best outcome for him.
Many people in the Sound Village have cursed marks on their bodies, and he can revive them.
"That's a real shame, I'm quite interested in you."
"Interested in me?"
Orochimaru was momentarily stunned. He suddenly remembered the conversation between the other party and Anko earlier. Could it be...?
Indeed, the body he currently inhabits belongs to a beautiful young woman with fair skin and a lovely appearance...
Orochimaru couldn't help but swallow hard; this was a terrifying thing.
Although he doesn't care much about gender now, he is still a well-known figure, one of Konoha's former Sannin, and an S-rank rogue ninja.
He couldn't bring himself to do something so immoral and disrespectful.
"If you like... excellent female ninjas, there are quite a few talented ones in Otogakure as well."
"Cough cough!"
Upon hearing this, Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but cough.
He had originally planned to maintain his superior persona, but Orochimaru's words completely ruined it.
Could this guy think I have feelings for him in that way?
That's not what I meant!
Baiyun Qingye adjusted her expression again.
"I am interested in your research on immortality."
"Ok?"
Orochimaru's expression was somewhat surprised.
"I didn't expect that Aoba-kun, at such a young age, would already be pursuing immortality?"
"Because I discovered that human strength has its limits."
Baiyun Qingye answered with a smile.
"I have learned in my short life that the stronger a person is, the more they will discover their own shortcomings, unless they become a being beyond human."
"An existence beyond humanity, you mean..."
Orochimaru was somewhat puzzled.
"There is such a thing as immortality in this world, but it doesn't belong to humankind."
"What is that?!"
Orochimaru pressed for an answer.
