Chapter 45: By then, with the blessings of the Three Great Holy Lands' Senji, just thinking about it makes one feel extremely excited!
Seeing this scene, [Orochimaru] took a step back to avoid the splashing blood. After shrugging, [Orochimaru] picked up [Kibaku Kuroishi]'s head and threw it to [Yue Yan].
"Fortunately, you didn't damage his head. After you unlock the [sealing ninjutsu] in his head, the [Yamanaka Clan] [ninjas] on the front line can use their secret [jutsu] to probe his memories."
Hearing this, [Yue Yan], who had just emerged from the [Thunder Beast] state and felt extremely exhausted, nodded.
[Yue Yan] took out a [Scroll] and sealed [Kibaku Kuroishi]'s head into it. Then he looked at the somewhat messy battlefield around him. Just as [Yue Yan] was about to go over and retrieve the ninja swords, [Xiaolan] rushed over and supported him.
"Shit!"
Hearing [Xiaolan]'s concern, [Yue Yan] waved his hand with a smile.
"I'm fine. It's just that I released all the accumulated Lightning Flash at once, which made me a bit weak. I'll be okay after a short rest."
At this time, [Might Guy] and the others, who had watched the entire battle from the side, walked over. Their words were full of admiration for [Yue Yan]'s strength.
After all, [Yue Yan] had just graduated from the [ninja school] not long ago. In [Guy] and the others' impression, [Yue Yan] was still that average - performing classmate, but today he had transformed into a powerful [ninja] who could easily deal with the [Seven Ninja Swordsmen].
"[Yue Yan], thank you so much. Thanks to you for arriving in time to save [Guy] and the others."
[Might Duy] walked over and bowed ninety degrees directly to [Yue Yan].
Although, just like in the original story, [Might Duy] could also create an escape time for [Guy] and the others by opening the [Eight Gates], but it would require him to sacrifice his own [life]. Since no one wants to die when they can live, [Might Duy] was so grateful to [Yue Yan].
Seeing his father like this, [Might Guy] also bowed ninety degrees to thank [Yue Yan], as did [Ebisu] and [Genma Shiranui].
After expressing their gratitude, the father - son duo of [Might Duy] and [Might Guy] had kelp - like tears on their faces and were about to give [Yue Yan] a bear hug.
Looking at the two crying guys rushing towards him, [Yue Yan] twitched the corners of his mouth, quickly waved his hand to refuse, and then pointed to the scattered ninja swords on the ground. He said that he was inconvenient to move at the moment and asked [Might Duy], [Guy] and the others to help collect them.
Suddenly, [Yue Yan] recalled that in the original story, there was a guy named [Gengetsu Hōzuki] who could summon these ninja swords back. In order to gain more benefits in the upcoming negotiations, he also directly sealed these ninja swords into the [Scroll].
Although the Thunder Sabre [Fuguki Suikazan] was broken, the axe blade part of the [Kabutowari] was deformed, and even the [Beheading Prison Chop] was cracked with dense traces due to the excessive addition of [Lightning Bolt], it is believed that after the [Mist Ninja Village] redeems them, they can still be repaired and used.
After [Yue Yan] sealed these ninja swords, [Orochimaru] also sealed the bodies of the [Seven Ninja Swordsmen].
For [Orochimaru], this is also a considerable achievement.
The next day after returning to the front - line camp, Yue Yan handed over the unsealed head of Kibaku Kuroishi to a ninja of the Yamanaka Clan. Then he learned that Orochimaru wanted to see him.
When he came to Orochimaru's tent, Orochimaru got straight to the point.
"Yue Yan-kun, you killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, so this military merit rightfully belongs to you. But based on my understanding of you during this time, I think you might have other ideas. So I've called you here to discuss it."
Hearing this, Yue Yan nodded and then put on an indifferent attitude.
"I'm not really concerned about military merits. You can have them all, Lord Orochimaru. After all, I don't want other villages to take notice of me so soon before I have enough strength."
Hearing this, Orochimaru twitched the corner of his mouth. "You call that lacking strength?" You wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. In the current ninja world, you're definitely considered a strong one.
Although he had a lot to complain about, Orochimaru held it back. He nodded to show that he understood.
"Yue Yan-kun, you've given me such a great gift. I must repay you. Whether it's ninjutsu or resources, as long as I can offer them, Yue Yan-kun, just name it."
Hearing this, Yue Yan's eyes lit up. This was said by Orochimaru. In the whole Hokage world, besides that Second Hokage guy, Orochimaru knows the most forbidden jutsu. There's gotta be some cool stuff with him.
However, after much thought, Yue Yan couldn't think of any forbidden jutsu that suited him.
Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to lack a large enough summoning beast to help him clear out the miscellaneous troops. Then he thought of Orochimaru's Manda.
Katsuyu is big enough, and its Tongue - Tooth Glue Acid has a wide attack range. But in the end, Katsuyu is mainly for medical use and not suitable for battle.
On the other hand, the snakes in the Ryuchi Cave are different. He could even use reverse summoning to go to the Ryuchi Cave and learn the Senji there.
Well, since he's already planning to learn the Senji of the Bone Forest and the Ryuchi Cave, maybe he could also consider the Senji of Mount Myoboku. And his teacher is Jiraiya.
Just imagining getting the blessings of the Three Great Holy Lands' Senji makes me so hyped!
Yue Yan, who thought it was very feasible, got more and more excited.
"Lord Orochimaru, I want to sign a Summoning Contract with the giant snakes in the Ryuchi Cave."
Hearing this, Orochimaru looked strange.
"Haven't you already signed a Summoning Contract with Katsuyu? Why do you still want to sign one with the snakes in the Ryuchi Cave?"
"I just lack a large summoning beast that can quickly clear out the miscellaneous troops."
Hearing this explanation, Orochimaru nodded, indicating his approval.
"Alright, since you insist."
Saying that, Orochimaru bit his finger and summoned a python. Immediately afterwards, the python's abdomen began to bulge, and then it spat out a huge Scroll.
"Just write your name on it."
Orochimaru pointed at the Scroll and said.
"Well, let me make one thing clear first. The Ryuchi Cave is not as kind - hearted as the Bone Forest and Mount Myoboku. Signing a Summoning Contract with the giant snakes in the Ryuchi Cave is very dangerous. If you're not strong enough, you'll be eaten."
As he spoke, Orochimaru let out a soft laugh.
"Well, with Yue Yan - kun's current strength, as long as he doesn't come across those few monsters, there shouldn't be any Mondai."
Hearing this, Yue Yan, who had just opened the Scroll and was about to sign his name, raised his eyebrows.
Manda is the most powerful giant snake in the Ryuchi Cave. But even Manda would never be called a monster by someone as arrogant as Orochimaru. The ones he calls monsters might be the same kind of existences as those in other holy places. In the original story, there are few mentions of the White Snake Sage, Ichikishimahime, Tamakunihime, and Nawatsuhime.
However, these four shouldn't pose any threat to him. Otherwise, the Ryuchi Cave wouldn't have any inheritors.
After figuring it out, Yue Yan bit his finger and was going to write his name on the Scroll.
However, he had to stop before finishing writing the first character because... the wound healed quickly and there was no more blood left.
Seeing this, Yue Yan was quite speechless. He asked Orochimaru for a Senbon to pierce his finger, and then he finished writing his name.
Orochimaru, standing beside him, stared at Yue Yan with glowing eyes and couldn't help sticking out his tongue to lick his lips.
"Although Yue Yan - kun's recovery ability is not as good as that of the First Hokage's cells, he has the strongest recovery ability I've ever seen."
