At this point, the children's storyline isn't very important.
The real villain is Orochimaru; his feud with the Third Hokage is the biggest scene in the early stages.
His eyes continued to search, shifting back and forth among the crowd.
The next second, a smile appeared on his lips.
At the very end of the procession, a tall, thin figure with a pale complexion and a gloomy demeanor, wearing a large straw hat, slowly approached.
found it.
This person is the number one scientist in the Naruto world. He is not the strongest nor does he have any cheat codes, but he is the most difficult to die and is a strange person who can even fool the Grim Reaper.
Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha who defected from the village, now the leader of the Sound Village, and the one closest to immortality!
277, take a good look, this is a big treasure prepared for you!
Who is Orochimaru?
He was a direct disciple of the Third Hokage and, along with Tsunade and Jiraiya, was known as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
In addition to possessing outstanding strength, he is also proficient in human body research and the development of forbidden techniques.
He possessed exceptional talent and an obsessive pursuit of immortality. He collaborated with Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Anbu, to steal the remains of the First Hokage for cell culture, thereby obtaining a wealth of valuable data.
For example, he himself has been able to achieve near-immortality by transforming his body and planting a curse mark.
As Orochimaru continued to conduct human experiments, he gradually developed an interest in the Uchiha clan.
In Orochimaru's eyes, those with extraordinary talent in the Sharingan are perfect vessels for souls.
Unfortunately, due to the machinations of the Third Hokage and Danzo, the Uchiha clan of Konoha was wiped out overnight, with only Sasuke surviving.
Not wanting to let this precious opportunity slip by, Orochimaru used the Chunin Exams as a pretext to enter Konoha, intending to plant a cursed seal on Sasuke during the survival challenge and turn him to the dark side.
These plot points are from as early as possible, and while they are quite interesting, they are still relatively minor compared to the grand scenes that follow.
The only interesting thing is the battle between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage.
Eugene composed himself and stared intently at the nameless soldier from "Kusagami Village" who wore a straw hat and a gray robe.
This person is none other than Orochimaru in disguise. His purpose in participating in the Chunin Exams was twofold: first, to end his feud with the Third Hokage, and second, to obtain Sasuke as a vessel.
Eugene had no intention of getting involved in other matters. His gaze lingered on Snake for a moment before naturally shifting away.
Because the second round of the Chunin Exams is about to begin.
He then needed to follow these people to the examination grounds on the outskirts of Konoha—the Forest of Death.
That's where the battles between the ninjas truly begin.
Although ninjas are highly vigilant, Eugene has many tricks up his sleeve, and his agility and perception far surpass theirs.
He would also change his appearance along the way to evade non-existent pursuit.
Soon, led by the examiner Mitarashi Anko, the children skipped and hopped to the front of the dark and deep Death Forest.
This cheerful young lady was Orochimaru's disciple before he defected.
She herself never expected that her master, who was on Konoha's most wanted list, could return here so brazenly, and that the two of them had even met at such close range.
After waiting a moment, Eugene finally received the order to begin the assessment.
He seized the opportunity, became invisible, and entered the heart of the forest in one fell swoop.
In places with poor visibility and many obstacles, his echolocation can be used to its fullest potential.
Looking down at the familiar figures from above, Eugene was filled with emotion. Ino-Shika-Cho, Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, Shino, Kiba, Hinata—each and every one of them would become an important figure in the ninja world, yet they were still just little kids.
"Ha, who would have thought that a bunch of twelve or thirteen-year-old kids would start killing each other?"
Unlike Ichigo from Bleach and Luffy from One Piece, Naruto was only twelve years old when he first appeared, and immediately afterward he participated in the battle against Zabuza and realized the cruelty of the world.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since this place is designed according to the Japanese Warring States period, so boy scouts aren't unusual.
Perched atop the towering tree, Eugene surveyed the surroundings and refocused on the trio of protagonists.
After a few minor setbacks, they soon faced Orochimaru, who was disguised as a Grass Ninja.
What followed was, naturally, a one-sided crushing defeat.
Naruto unleashed his fury, causing the Nine-Tails' chakra to leak out, but Orochimaru suppressed it with his Five Elements Seal.
Sakura immediately shrank back, and it became Sasuke's solo show.
The young man is quite skilled; his actions were fierce, but he exhausted all his chakra and his output was still less than 2.5.
Even so, Snake was quite satisfied.
He transformed into a long-necked monster, his head flying far away, planting a cursed seal on Sasuke's neck, which led to the subsequent storyline of the rogue ninja.
After doing all this, Snake departed peacefully, his figure disappearing into the shadows.
"it is good!"
That's enough of Eugene's spectator role.
He used echolocation to pinpoint Snake's location and tracked him from a distance beyond visual range.
Because the opponent was one of the powerful Sannin, Eugene wasn't entirely confident he wouldn't reveal his identity. Fortunately, he knew the plot and had memorized Anko's reaction in the Echo.
Anyway, the master and disciple would meet sooner or later, and he wouldn't miss the opportunity, whether he was keeping an eye on his master or his disciple.
Sure enough, after a series of detours, in Eugene's perception, the rapidly approaching Red Bean finally met with his hated rogue ninja master.
Without saying a word, the two started fighting as soon as they met.
As for why this young lady was so brave, daring to take on the three ninjas single-handedly, we have no idea.
After several rounds, she was controlled by Snake. The power of the three-tomoe curse mark on her neck caused Anko to lose control of her body and fall to her knees in pain.
it's time!
Seizing the opportunity, Eugene unfurled his trench coat and, like a hawk pouncing on its prey, swooped down!
Snapped!
He flicked a ball of magic at Hongdou's nape, causing her, already weakened, to fall into a deep sleep.
This action immediately attracted Orochimaru's attention.
When did he appear?
A pair of eerie snake eyes focused on the man in front of her, whose thin, pale face was now fully exposed, exuding an evil and sinister aura.
"Who are you?"
Holy crap, even though I was mentally prepared, it still gave me the creeps when I got close!
Eugene started complaining before he even did anything, no wonder he's Snake's childhood nightmare!
He quickly adjusted his mindset, locked his gaze on his opponent, and replaced any pleasantries with the magic he had unleashed.
! !
This unusual pressure caused Orochimaru to frown, and his confident, wicked smile vanished.
Although Eugene uses his own magic, it is similar to the chakra of the Naruto, both being a combination of spiritual power and physical energy.
Especially for monsters like Eugene, who possess a vast amount of magic power, their aura is top-notch intimidating people no matter what world they are in.
The two remained silent and faced off. In Eugene's view, if you want the other party to take you seriously, you must show enough sincerity.
Orochimaru was momentarily confused by the sudden appearance of this extraterrestrial visitor.
He had no idea who this powerful figure in front of him, who wasn't wearing a headband and whose aura was quite strange, was.
However, since the other party specifically sought him out under these circumstances, he must have had his own purpose.
"Orochimaru-san, over the years, you've accumulated many cell samples from the First Hokage, haven't you?"
Eugene got straight to the point. His voice was soft, but it stirred up quite a ripple in Orochimaru's heart.
Not many people know that he conducted human trials using first-generation cells.
"so what?"
With a cold expression and a chilling voice, Orochimaru had already mobilized his aura, like a giant snake spitting its tongue, revealing his ferocious nature.
The first generation of cells was crucial to his foundation, and (Ma Wang Zhao) could not possibly discuss it with others in a reasonable manner.
Eugene was not surprised by the other party's reaction.
He sighed softly, feigning regret.
"I was hoping to become friends with you."
At the same time, he stretched out his arm, and large patches of black raven feathers gathered inward on his wrist.
"?"
Instinctively preparing for a fight, Orochimaru warily looked at Eugene's summoned creature, Wang.
Little did he know that the more cautious he was, the more it suited Eugene's tastes.
"Even though we can't be friends, we still need to show some courtesy."
Holding the raven aloft on his wrist, Eugene's eyebrows gradually curved.
Please take a good look; this is a special gift I prepared for you.
With a thought, the crow turned its head and revealed its other hidden scarlet eye to Orochimaru, who was staring intently at it!
Sharingan!?
It was at this moment that Orochimaru, who had once experienced the power of the Sharingan, realized the trap.
But it was too late. In the instant their eyes met, the strongest single-target genjutsu in the Naruto world was activated!
Kotoamatsukami! Open!
278 Kimimaro the Defeater, Jugo the Withered Flower and Fallen Willow?
Kotoamatsukami, activate!
The strongest single-target genjutsu in the Naruto world, capable of perfectly altering a person's consciousness, turning them from the most heinous villain into a Buddha on the spot!
This technique is unsolvable. For those who have no pupil power, everything is perfectly normal, no different from what actually happened.
