Chapter 180 Ningji’s Tribulation

Otogakure Ninja Village, Orochimaru Base.

The crypt was empty except for darkness.

It's hard to tell whether it's day or night.

After confirming the time for the immortal reincarnation, he said goodbye to Kabuto Yakushi, and Hinata Neji returned to his room.

He had been sitting quietly on the edge of his bed, waiting for the final answer to come.

He had done everything he could, and all he could do next was wait.

Time passed slowly but surely with every breath.

During the long wait without anyone noticing, Hinata Neji silently stared at his bandaged palm.

He suddenly thought that he was confined to such a tiny body, but the world outside himself was so huge.

The crowd is huge and life is like a prisoner.

He didn't listen to a word of Kidomaru's subsequent words.

A knock on the door came from outside the house, and an Otogakure ninja reported respectfully outside the door:

"Lord Neji, Lord Orochimaru please come to see me immediately, saying that there is something important."

He was seen twisting and turning, and soon he came to the door of Orochimaru's hall again.

He had to stick to the bottom line without irritating Orochimaru, and he didn't want to be too flattering, lest people look down on him and Sasuke.

Looking from a distance, he saw Kidomaru standing alone there.

Sometimes the torch was as weak as a bean, and sometimes it trembled and burned again.

After rebelling against the village, Neji was under high pressure all the time.

Making random gestures with his hands, he still wanted to rush through the door.

In his ears, Kidomaru was still whispering something. Neji was completely in no mood to pay attention to him at the moment, so he took a step to open the door and walk inside.

"Shouldn't it be time to fulfill what you promised me?"

"It's really amazing!"

All this is really not that easy for me.

"You refused last time, and now everyone is here, and you still refuse!

"If we agreed that I would take you to the base, we have fulfilled the agreement. If we delay any longer, I don't know how long it will be.

"Right now, right away, right away! Still using the 'soft fist' that your Hyuga clan has been boasting about all day long, I must show you the power of gold-laced armor!"

Neji at this moment also had no way of knowing whether Uchiha Sasuke would arrive as promised;

As for the more distant future, such as the fate of the caged bird, it is even more like the torch in the crypt.

"I said, this ninjutsu can completely block chakra. Even if you can really attack acupoints and internal organs, you will never be able to do anything to me!"

After seeing Hyuga Neji, Kidomaru immediately showed a happy expression and said:

In just a few days, it felt like half a lifetime had passed.

"You came!"

The air of fate envelops the flames, and the shadows on the wall grow and shrink, just like the young man's weak belief in the bright future.

"Hey? Hey hey?! What are you doing?!

"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Although the time away from Konoha was not long, judging from Neji's feelings.

"no!"

After a period of exploration and familiarity with the rather complicated tunnel route in the cave, Hyuga Neji has roughly mastered it.

"No, Brother Kidomaru, I you.

"Master Orochimaru, call me if you need anything. I'll go in first and play with you later."

Hyuga Neji suddenly struck out with two palms, but Kidomaru remained motionless.

Hearing that Uchiha Sasuke was inside now, Hyuga Neji suddenly felt like his ears were exploding.

"Boom, bang."

My own strength is really too weak.

Dim and flickering, erratic.

And there are too few things that I can control.

"I have fulfilled our agreement. Right now, Uchiha Sasuke is talking to Lord Orochimaru inside.

As he spoke, Kidomaru formed a dark golden protective film on the surface of his skin and said proudly:

At this time, I was looking towards the end of the tunnel, not knowing what to see.

After seeing Orochimaru, he had to be careful in everything, be careful at all times, and keep his brain running fast at all times.

"Bang bang—"

Faced with Hyuga Neji's refusal, Kidomaru flatly refused and said:

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Hinata Neji was excited and his words were incoherent.

Kidomaru quickly grabbed him and asked with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Hyuga Neji cannot control how Orochimaru views himself;

Hinata Neji clapped and walked directly into the hall.

The whole process took less than two seconds, leaving Kidomaru standing there in a daze.

"Right? I just said it's awesome."

Kidomaru said something to show off, and Hinata Neji had already left at this moment, leaving only a ball of air in front of him.

"Crack-"

The golden armor fell to pieces on the ground, and Kidomaru felt that his mood was not as happy as he imagined.

It seems that something is wrong.

Looking at Hinata Neji's back, Kidomaru was confused——

Could it be that I was perfunctory by him just now?

Hearing the sound behind the door, Uchiha Sasuke turned around and met the bright eyes of the boy in white.

We said goodbye by the Konoha River, but today we meet again, separated by mountains and rivers.

Long journeys, life and death battles.

Intelligence was flying around, and there were overt and covert fights.

Finally, after all this, the two met again as scheduled.

The plan to undercover Orochimaru has finally successfully completed its first phase.

At this time, both of them had extremely turbulent emotions in their hearts.

Uchiha Sasuke had a little better control and was the first to ask:

"how long?"

What he wanted to ask was the last piece of information that could not be determined clearly - that is, the exact time since Orochimaru's last reincarnation.

Since the message was delivered by Orochimaru's subordinate Shirobo, we had to consider the possibility that they had tampered with the information midway.

However, in his excitement, Sasuke only asked two words, but it was difficult to form a sentence.

"Half a year, cough, half a year ago."

Hinata Neji understood and immediately answered.

His voice was hoarse and dry, and he couldn't help but clear his throat.

"No more unnecessary words. Now, let's talk about - as you said - a deal."

On the steps, Orochimaru, who was sitting high on the chair, broke the moment with words.

Bring Sasuke and Sasuke back to reality.

"Yes, tell me your conditions."

Uchiha Sasuke turned around and looked at Orochimaru again, regaining his rational and calm appearance.

"Two and a half years."

Orochimaru said:

“During this period, I will use all my knowledge to help you gain enough strength.

"But, two and a half years later, regardless of whether you can complete your revenge, I must take your body."

Orochimaru licked his tongue, his eyes full of greed.

"What about the specifics of revenge?"

Uchiha Sasuke showed no fear and continued to press for details of the transaction.

The more details there are, the clearer the information related to Konoha will be.

Seeing Orochimaru's expression startled, Uchiha Sasuke continued:

"What you just said is just something you care about. What I care about is Shimura Danzo's head.

"Two and a half years later, am I going to find Danzo Shimura alone? If I die in that battle, how can I hand over my body to you?

"Or maybe you haven't considered letting me try to take revenge myself?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Orochimaru with lightning eyes.

How can we say accurately about things that are so far away?

Orochimaru didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Hinata Neji standing aside said at the right time:

"Lord Orochimaru once said that he is willing to put your revenge together with the next subversion of Konoha's plan!

"It's just that the specific plans have not yet been determined. It seems too early to discuss this now."

These words seemed to be helping Orochimaru out of trouble.

In fact, another wave of information about "the next subversion of Konoha" was delivered to Sasuke.

After hearing this, several thoughts flashed through Sasuke Uchiha's mind, and he immediately laughed and said:

"Hahaha, okay, that's great!

"Then, in your plan to overthrow Konoha, how about the battle between Danzo Shimura and me be the first one?"

After a pause, Sasuke put away his smile and looked far-reaching, as if he had seen the day when Konoha collapsed through time:

"At that time, if I lose, you will take my body back and do whatever you want with me.

"If I win, I can watch the destruction of Konoha with my own eyes, and then become a sacrifice for your immortal reincarnation.

"If one day comes, I will have no regrets even if I die."

"Okay." Orochimaru nodded.

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke's obsession with revenge, Orochimaru felt very satisfied.

He even said in relief: "When you and I merge, your will will remain in my heart as a residual thought.

"So, you don't really lose everything."

Seeing Orochimaru's hypocritical look, Uchiha Sasuke suppressed his nausea and nodded silently.

"Speaking of which, I'm still curious, why didn't you mention Uchiha Itachi?"

Orochimaru asked curiously.

In his heart, Uchiha Itachi also had a lot of hatred towards him.

Once, when he was in the Akatsuki organization, he rashly attacked the opponent, but one of his arms was cut off by Itachi Uchiha.

Orochimaru was also very unhappy about this.

In a sense, it was precisely because of the existence of this incident that prompted Orochimaru's obsession with Uchiha Sasuke.

"The grudge between me and Uchiha Itachi is not about strength.

"That's not something you can fix."

After hearing that name again, Uchiha Sasuke's voice dropped to freezing point.

"Also, don't mention that guy's name in front of me, he makes me feel really disgusted."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Sasuke thoughtfully.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became a little awkward in Uchiha Sasuke's cold tone.

"If there is nothing else to do, let's rest first. Sasuke must be very tired from running all the way.

"Then, starting from tomorrow, we will be members of the Otogakure Ninja Village!"

Hyuga Neji didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.

Now that everything has been discussed, it is natural to go first.

"Hehe, hehehe"

In the empty room, Hinata Neji's far-fetched laughter echoed.

With no one responding, Neji smiled more and more guiltily.

Until Orochimaru stared at him playfully.

"Do you think you are very smart?"

Orochimaru said gloomily with a hoarse voice.

Since Hyuga Neji came to his side, although he said "come to him", in the actual process, Orochimaru felt that he had been being led by the other party.

Although Orochimaru knew full well that the reason why he was willing to cooperate with him was because everyone's ultimate goal was to find a perfect container for himself.

Moreover, it is conceivable that not all of these plans came from Hyuga Neji alone.

But in terms of subjective feelings, what Orochimaru faced from beginning to end was indeed Hyuga Neji.

This unpleasant feeling reached its peak in my heart when I was asked to verify "the exact time of the last immortal reincarnation."

Now, Sasuke has successfully arrived here, and the container is right in front of him.

Orochimaru was confident, and when he saw Hinata Neji again, he felt quite bored.

"Why, how could that happen?"

Faced with Orochimaru's sudden attack, Hyuga Neji felt his face stiff with laughter and had to say:

"I think it's already very late. Then we'll leave first."

As he said this, he pulled Uchiha Sasuke away and turned around.

"Wait a minute."

Orochimaru stopped the two teenagers, stared at Hinata Neji, and said sadly:

"You helped me accomplish such a big thing, and I haven't seriously rewarded you yet."

"You are too kind, as long as you don't forget my request."

Hinata Neji gradually calmed down and dealt with it calmly.

But I really don’t know what kind of medicine Orochimaru is selling in this gourd.

"Come here, I have a gift for you."

Orochimaru waved, his voice hoarse and gentle.

Hyuga Neji glanced at Sasuke, who looked distracted.

Neji thought to himself, if the other party wants to harm him, then why wait until now?

After thinking about this, he walked straight to Orochimaru's steps.

I saw Orochimaru sitting firmly on the seat, but his neck suddenly stretched several meters.

The protruding head opened its mouth wide and bit the young man's neck hard in one bite.

"Neji!!"

Something unexpected happened, and Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but exclaimed.

In his opinion, he thought Orochimaru really had some reward for Neji.

Successfully arrived at Orochimaru's place, negotiated the deal smoothly, and learned a lot of important information in advance.

These things were completed smoothly one by one, which reduced Uchiha Sasuke's vigilance to a minimum.

If you hesitate for a moment, you will have missed the best opportunity to unleash your kaleidoscope power.

On the other side, after being bitten by Orochimaru, Hinata Neji felt a huge pain continuously coming from his wound until it spread to his entire body.

I just felt that there was a huge force that was swallowing up all my consciousness, and I fainted in an instant.

When he fell, Uchiha Sasuke immediately stepped forward to hold him up, and then slowly placed Neji on the ground aside.

Afterwards, Uchiha Sasuke immediately channeled his "Kusanagi Sword Moon Shadow" in his hand, pointed it straight at Orochimaru, and asked in a cold voice:

"What does this mean?"

"Relax, Sasuke."

Orochimaru smiled sadly:

"As I just said, this is my reward for Neji, a gift."

Looking at Neji's painful look and the familiar pattern on the wound, Sasuke immediately reacted.

Just like what he encountered in the forest of death, Ningji now has the same curse seal power as himself.

"What a joke.

"Kakashi once told me that the chance of survival after obtaining this curse seal is only one in ten."

The Kusanagi sword in Uchiha Assistant's hand was trembling slightly, but his eyes never left Hinata Neji on the ground.

"Then, it depends on his luck. Since he wants to escape the fate of a caged bird, how can he be stingy about polishing his wings?"

Orochimaru looked relaxed and indifferent.

"Fuck you!"

Uchiha Sasuke was instantly angered and cursed:

"If anything happens to him, don't wait two and a half years. One of us will die tomorrow!

"Even if I can't kill you, I will still pick half of your base first!

“Besides, I will definitely destroy these eyes and body before I die.

"I want our Uchiha clan's body to live in your mother's spring and autumn dream!"

Uchiha Sasuke's murderous intent surged throughout his body, and his chest heaved violently in rage.

The burst of abuse made Orochimaru feel very embarrassed.

Originally, he had no intention of putting Ningji to death.

It's just that unlike Sasuke, he still habitually wants to do some combination of kindness and power when it comes to conquering Hyuga Neji.

After all, that kid had always taken the initiative during the transaction.

If we don't find some ground now, I'm afraid there will be some hidden dangers and problems in the driving and management of this subordinate in the future.

In his own imagination, Sasuke should just use the Hinata family brat as a tool to take advantage of.

But I never thought that in addition to revenge, Sasuke also had a lot of obsession with this so-called "friendship".

This discovery made Orochimaru feel dissatisfied and worried again.

“One in 10 fatality rate, that was in the beginning.

"Today, if you can get the care of Yakushi Kabuto, the probability of ordinary people surviving is at least 50%."

Facing Uchiha Sasuke's tantrum, Orochimaru showed a high level of self-control and comforted him:

"Besides, he is still a very powerful ninja. On this basis, accepting the curse seal will hardly put his life in danger."

So what do you mean it depends on luck?

Uchiha Sasuke suppressed his dissatisfaction and said coldly:

"It's no use talking nonsense. Tomorrow, I won't see Hinata Neji alive and kicking, so I'll start with Yakushi Kabuto and kill them one by one.

"I keep my word."

After leaving these words coldly, Uchiha Sasuke strode out.

Orochimaru sat there with a slight embarrassment, looking at Hinata Neji lying on the ground, and then at the empty door, and couldn't help but sigh.

Cold-blooded and rational, yet able to maintain such a strong killing intent at the same time.

Why are the young men of the Uchiha clan so charming and beautiful?

"Lord Orochimaru"

From the small door at the back of the palace, Kabuto Yakushi walked out quietly, interrupting Orochimaru's sigh.

After seeing this person, Orochimaru waved his hand, pointed at Hinata Neji on the ground and said:

"Did you hear that? If this kid dies, you will die too."

As he spoke, Orochimaru smiled, as if he was recalling a naughty child.

"Yes."

Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head and spoke calmly.

There was a white light on his glasses, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

I saw him striding up to Hinata Neji, picking him up by the waist, and taking him out of the hall.
