Chapter 215 Sasuke and Kimimaro
Chapter 215 Sasuke and Kimimaro
The commotion of the battle in the Sound Village attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Sharp bones covered the entire battlefield like a forest, and Kimimaro moved freely through the ancient forest.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, who wields lightning with one hand, easily shatters the incoming bone spikes with his Lightning Blade.
With the Sharingan's superior dynamic vision and the extremely destructive power of the Lightning Blade, Kimimaro's attacks struggled to hit Sasuke for a time.
"Those two are amazing."
Jirobo crunched on potato chips, marveling at the strength of the two.
Upon hearing Jirobo's remark, Sakon and Ukon nodded in agreement.
"Yes, as expected of the person Lord Orochimaru values most."
"That Uchiha must be the youngest among all of us."
"It seems so."
"Despite being the youngest, he was able to fight Kimimaro, the oldest among us, to such an extent."
"So this is the Uchiha clan..."
Hearing others praise Sasuke, Kimimaro became even angrier.
"Corpse Bone Vein - Dance of the Willow!"
Enraged, Kimimaro immediately unleashed his Bloodstained Ninjutsu and charged towards Sasuke.
Sharp bone spurs sprouted from his palms and elbows, and his body swayed like a willow in the wind as he charged toward Sasuke.
Sasuke immediately unleashed his Lightning Blade at Kimimaro, but Kimimaro's body drifted to the side like a leaf, dodging the attack.
At the same time, a sharp bone spur hurtled toward Sasuke's throat.
"Cough!"
A gleaming steel knife held the bone spur in place.
Sasuke drew his sword just in time to block Kimimaro's attack.
"Alright, you two, that's enough."
Just as the two were about to continue their battle for hundreds of rounds to determine who was superior, Kabuto's voice came from afar.
"Lord Orochimaru wants you two to come over."
"Humph."
Upon hearing that it was Orochimaru who had called them, the two stopped fighting.
Kimimaro sheathed his bone spikes, and Sasuke sheathed his sword; the two walked toward Orochimaru's location.
"Next time, I won't hold back."
"Heh, holding back? I think you were already using your full strength just now. Next time, I will definitely beat you."
"You can certainly try it next time."
Inside the laboratory, Orochimaru sat in front of a machine that looked completely out of place in this ninja world.
Kabuto Yakushi stood respectfully beside Orochimaru, acting as his assistant.
"You've arrived."
"Lord Orochimaru."
"Orochimaru-sensei."
The two greeted each other respectfully.
At the same time, Kimimaro glanced at Kabuto Yakushi with a hint of envy.
Although both are Orochimaru's assistants, I am more like a butler, while Kabuto is more like an assistant who can participate in Orochimaru's experiments and help with research.
He also hoped that he could be of some help, but unfortunately, although he had considerable combat talent, he seemed to have no talent at all in this area.
"almost."
Orochimaru stopped what he was doing, recorded the final result, and nodded in satisfaction.
Only after he had done all this did he turn around and look at the two of them.
"Sasuke, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
Sasuke replied.
"Orochimaru-sensei, when do you plan to teach me the ninjutsu that can revive my family and clan?"
"So that's the ninjutsu you wanted."
Orochimaru nodded and immediately activated the Summoning Jutsu.
A small white snake was summoned, and it spat out a scroll from its belly. Orochimaru picked up the scroll and shook it.
"The ninjutsu you requested is right here, but I'm curious, do you think you're capable of resurrecting your clansmen in your current state?"
"I can do it, I definitely can! Now that I have the Sharingan with two tomoe, I can definitely revive my family and clansmen. Even if I can only revive one at a time, I believe that as long as I persevere, I will definitely be able to revive all my clansmen!"
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke and couldn't help but shake his head. Sure enough, all Uchiha are the same; they're prone to extremism.
Even though Sasuke is still just a child right now.
However, this does show that Sasuke's Uchiha bloodline is quite pure.
"No, I think you're not ready yet. Reversing life and death and resurrecting others isn't that simple."
"No, I can do it! I definitely can!"
"Alright, since you insist, then I'll leave this to you."
Orochimaru didn't hesitate and tossed the scroll in his hand to Sasuke.
"Let me remind you first, this is only a prerequisite for resurrecting your family and clan. If you want to truly resurrect your family and clan, you still have a long way to go."
Sasuke gripped the scroll tightly in his hand, his heart pounding as he looked at the words written on it.
"Impure World Reincarnation! Is this the ninjutsu that can reverse life and death?"
"This is not a true resurrection; this is only the first step towards truly resurrecting your people."
Orochimaru wanted to say something more, but seeing Sasuke's infatuated expression, he ultimately gave up and let him be. After all, he had already warned him that Sasuke would come back to him when he realized that this technique could not truly revive his clansmen.
"Thank you, Orochimaru-sensei. I'm going back to study this ninjutsu now."
Sasuke was no longer listening to anything else; he took the Edo Tensei and turned to leave.
After he left, Orochimaru looked at Kimimaro standing to the side.
"Kimimaro, I have good news to tell you."
"Good news? Lord Orochimaru, do you need my body again?"
Upon hearing this, Kabuto, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids twice.
He didn't quite understand Kimimaro's thought process; how could this possibly be good news?
Furthermore, even if Lord Orochimaru really needed someone else's body as a vessel, he would never choose you, okay? Your blood disease is already very serious. That delusional Uchiha from earlier was the best choice, okay?
"No, Kimimaro, I have already said that I do not need anyone's body as a vessel now."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's answer, Kimimaro felt a pang of regret.
"However, Kimimaro, I have found a way to completely cure your blood disease. From today onwards, you will no longer suffer from the pain and will be able to stay by my side forever."
"To be able to stay by Lord Orochimaru's side forever!"
Upon hearing this, Kimimaro's somewhat disappointed expression turned excited again.
"That's right, your bloodstain disease can be cured."
As he said this, Orochimaru's expression was one of immense pride. Curing the blood disease that others would surely die from was a very rewarding thing for Orochimaru.
"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."
"Alright, enough talk, let's begin the treatment."
Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly, much like a college student about to see the results of his graduation thesis.
