Secret Underground Research Base
"Chidori!"
Accompanied by flickering lightning and the sound of birds chirping, a surge of electricity ran through the underground base. Uchiha Kaien's eyes revealed the Sharingan as he held the completed Chidori in his hand. His target turned to mud in an instant, and his straight blade was already unsheathed at his waist.
Ding ding
The clash of his blade against a kunai rang out. Uchiha Kaien moved with lightning speed, relentlessly attacking with his exceptional swordsmanship.
Amidst the glimmering blades, Orochimaru wore a casual smile, constantly blocking the attacks with his kunai.
"Your swordsmanship is impressive. If only your mastery of the lightning chakra nature was a bit stronger and you could fully control chakra nature transformation, you would unleash the true power of this blade."
Orochimaru's approving comment was followed by another flash of blades as he transformed into a mud clone. Witnessing this, Uchiha Kaien couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The power of the Sannin was truly terrifying. Their hand seals were flawlessly executed, reaching their maximum potential.
"Wind Release! Great Breakthrough!"
With a resounding shout, Orochimaru suddenly appeared in the air. He formed hand seals with one hand and exhaled a powerful gust of wind.
Caught off guard, Uchiha Kaien could only hastily assume a defensive stance as the fierce wind approached.
Boom boom boom
In an instant, the earth shattered, and a layer of ground was swept up in the gust of wind.
Eventually, as the smoke cleared, Orochimaru landed slowly, wearing a hoarse smile as he looked at the figure in the mist.
"Hehe, is this the terror of a bloodline limit? Kaien, it seems that your potential has been unlocked with the advancement of your bloodline. In just two months, your chakra talent, both in terms of quantity and control, has surpassed that of ordinary shinobi."
Orochimaru's hoarse smile was filled with a peculiar admiration as he looked at Uchiha Kaien in the dense mist, then let out a low chuckle.
"Interesting, very interesting. It seems that the human body holds boundless treasures."
As the smoke cleared, Uchiha Kaien coughed repeatedly, feeling a piercing pain throughout his body. He grimaced and walked out, gazing at Orochimaru, who had a peculiar smile on his face. Uchiha Kaien couldn't help but say with a bitter smile, "Orochimaru-sensei, you were a bit too harsh."
The C-rank ninjutsu Orochimaru used just now was like a hurricane. Uchiha Kaien could clearly feel that he could hardly breathe when the hurricane swept over. It created a force that scraped at his body.
It was painful.
Looking at his tattered clothes, Uchiha Kaien couldn't help but complain, "These clothes were expensive."
…
With a creak, the door opened, revealing Orochimaru in the research room carefully handling test tubes. Uchiha Kaien, wearing new clothes, walked in and picked up the nearby documents.
As he looked at the documents in his hand, Uchiha Kaien began recording and addressed Orochimaru, "Orochimaru-sensei, the Seventh Division of the Police Department will now follow your orders."
Orochimaru, who had been focused on his experiments, visibly reacted and wore a hoarse smile.
"Hehe, I've received your sincerity, Uchiha. I wonder under what circumstances this so-called following of orders will be?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kaien smiled, "Orochimaru-sensei, I am the captain of the Seventh Division. Naturally, I will obey your commands."
In other words, although he is an Uchiha, he is completely bound to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru showed an evil smile. "It seems like the Seventh Division has become a sieve."
Indeed. Uchiha Kaien knew that Orochimaru already understood everything about Konoha's recent actions. Although the Seventh Division was a gift from the Uchiha clan, it had also been infiltrated by various factions.
"Hehe, Kaien, your eyes were filled with greed when I first saw you. There was also an endless desire for power!"
Greed and the desire for power. Uchiha Kaien was momentarily stunned by Orochimaru's evaluation, but he soon smiled. He had never concealed his ambition. In this dangerous world, even a high-level shinobi could not claim to have complete control over their own life, let alone an Uchiha.
"So, Orochimaru-sensei, do you have any plans for the current situation?"
Although everything Konoha had done was out in the open, Orochimaru seemed to accept it, hiding his true intentions in the shadows—something that continued to puzzle Uchiha Kaien.
