At this moment, the sun had already passed through the bumpy clouds and was setting in the west.
Tatsumi was walking home alone.
He rubbed his shoulder, feeling a little tired.
Just now, he had accompanied Minato to Uncle Nishimura's place to apologize and had undergone another round of Uncle Nishimura's genjutsu baptism.
Tatsumi only felt his head was dizzy, as if it was filled with paste.
He could only silently curse that Uncle Nishimura would be single for the rest of his life, and then his important right hand would also be broken.
Tatsumi quickened his pace, he felt very hungry.
Hmm?
He suddenly stopped.
Long-term practice had given him some perception abilities.
"Come out."
But no one answered him. In the night, the surroundings were silent, and even the cicadas had stopped chirping.
Suddenly, two dark kunai shot directly at Tatsumi's chest.
"Tch."
Tatsumi felt a little helpless.
In his previous life, when people met, they would at most ask, "Have you eaten?"
How warm and friendly that was.
But when ninjas meet, they like to greet each other with kunai, and a few kunai will come at you if they disagree.
Although this thought flashed through Tatsumi's mind, his hands were not slow at all.
Two shurikens accurately hit the kunai, disrupting their trajectory.
Throughout the whole process, Tatsumi seemed to have not made any movements.
After deflecting the kunai, Tatsumi did not stop.
Several shurikens continued to fly toward the direction from which the kunai had been thrown.
At the moment the shurikens approached, a log suddenly appeared in its place.
The shurikens hit the log.
Tatsumi just waited for the other party's next move.
The opponent, like a snake, hid in the dark, ready for a fatal blow at any time.
Tatsumi was on guard when suddenly a pair of pale hands stretched out from the ground, grabbing toward Tatsumi's feet.
Tatsumi quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, and before that hand could grab him, he turned into a log.
Tatsumi disappeared, and the log was shattered by that hand.
Since the other party didn't want to come out so easily, then he wouldn't come out either.
Tatsumi decided to hide as well.
The path became quieter and quieter.
The opponent was hiding in the dark, and Tatsumi was also hiding behind a big tree, waiting for the opponent to reveal a trace.
However, the situation on the field was not particularly favorable to Tatsumi.
The opponent had been waiting for Tatsumi here, and he hadn't even seen the opponent's face.
His intelligence on the opponent was zero.
This was very unfavorable to Tatsumi.
Therefore, although Tatsumi was now in the dark, he was actually still in the light.
As time passed, a shadow quietly appeared behind Tatsumi.
He used advanced Earth Release to appear in this place.
The man glanced at Tatsumi and knew that this was definitely the real body and not a shadow clone because he had a special perception ability and was very sensitive to chakra perception.
The man shook his head. A bird in a cage, no matter how beautiful, cannot become an eagle.
He had always believed that fighting was the best way to communicate, but he was very dissatisfied with this exchange.
Tatsumi's vigilance was too poor.
The man took out a kunai, and the kunai directly slashed across Tatsumi's back.
But the Tatsumi in front of him, after being hit by the kunai, turned his head 180 degrees and looked at him with a smile.
Genjutsu? When?
The man immediately disrupted his chakra flow.
The Tatsumi in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Only a kunai broke through the air,
The kunai was like a shell fired from a cannon, and it even made a tearing sound in the air.
Then the kunai directly hit the man's head. The entire head was blown off. The kunai continued to shoot through the tree trunk and flew out after passing through the head.
One shot, headshot.
Tatsumi was very satisfied with the power of his 98k.
If he improved it further, it should be comparable to an Italian cannon.
However, the person who was headshot suddenly turned into a puddle of mud.
A hand suddenly rested on Tatsumi's shoulder.
Tatsumi's body trembled, and the kunai on his body were all scared to the ground.
"Tatsumi, you've become stronger," the man said in a hoarse voice.
Tatsumi turned his head and found the person who had ambushed him - Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was wearing a kimono at this time, but with a Jonin vest on the outside.
This aesthetic is indeed unique. He is worthy of being the kimono prince, the cool and aloof Orochimaru.
Tatsumi smiled, "Lord Orochimaru, why are you so free to come to me? You should be very busy now."
Tatsumi had not seen Orochimaru since the training three years ago.
Although Orochimaru said that Tatsumi could ask him for advice at any time, he had never gone.
The nearly twenty-year-old Orochimaru was completely different from three years ago.
Three years ago, he was still a little green, but now he was becoming more and more feminine.
His strength was also unfathomable. At least Tatsumi, this scum, could not see through it.
However, why did the other party come to him now?
Tatsumi suddenly thought of the gossip he heard from Nawaki.
"It's been three years, I didn't expect you to become so strong now."
Snake Uncle's voice was still so distinctive. That hoarse feeling even made Tatsumi feel a little - sexy.
He quickly shook his head and threw this thought out. He was a straight man.
"Let's go, I just received the order to return to Konoha today. Accompany me for a chat." Orochimaru patted Tatsumi on the shoulder, and then walked forward alone.
Since Snake Uncle had proposed to take a walk with him, Tatsumi could not refuse.
At least in the future, he could brag that he talked and laughed with one of the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru.
But you just came back and didn't go to rest or accompany your friends, but came to find me, a nine-year-old child. You wouldn't want to take me to see the little goldfish, would you?
Tatsumi shuddered. Snake Uncle really had a preference for luring children.
Orochimaru walked slowly in front, and the two walked into a small bar.
Tatsumi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't going to see the little goldfish. He just happened to not have eaten yet.
Tatsumi walked in and looked around the small bar.
It was very deserted inside, with only a few people. The dim lights made the bar look a little dilapidated.
Then, Snake Uncle ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes.
"Drinking?"
"Snake Uncle, I am still a minor. I can't drink."
The other party nodded, did not say anything, and poured himself a full glass.
"When I was young with Tsunade and that idiot Jiraiya, we often ran here to drink."
"Speaking of which, this shop was discovered by Tsunade. This is the only place in Konoha that sells alcohol to minors."
"....."
It hasn't been shut down like that, it seems that this store has a strong background and is a bit tricky.
The small shops in Konoha are really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"When I came back this afternoon, I found out that the old boss of this shop died a few days ago. Now his son has inherited the shop."
After speaking, Snake Uncle took a full sip of wine.
Snake Uncle is a bit talkative today. Tatsumi nodded and continued to wait for Snake Uncle to continue speaking.
"Things with form will wither sooner or later. So are people. What do you think?"
