Chapter 182 Decision

Quickly rushed to the Hokage Building. Now there were still a few years before the Second Ninja World War. Sarutobi Hiruzen was only in his forties. When he was in his prime, his beard was still black.

Seeing his proud disciple coming back, he put down the documents in his hand and his expression eased a little, "What was the result of this trip?"

"When we arrived, Uzushio Village had been destroyed," Orochimaru said as he handed over the task scroll, "The scene was handled very cleanly, and it was unclear which side took action."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed when he heard this, "I know, you've made a lot of trouble, go back and rest."

However, Orochimaru did not rush to leave, but asked for help, "Teacher, I want to find some historical records of the early ninja world."

"Historical records?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised, "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

"Explore the source of ninjutsu!" Orochimaru said concisely.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's face. His disciple was good in every way except that he was too obsessed with ninjutsu research. "Go find Shinnosuke. He will take you to my house. You can see it yourself."

"Thank you, teacher!"

After saying that, Orochimaru turned and left.

After he left, two more ninjas appeared and knelt on one knee.

"What did you see on this trip? Tell me in detail!"

The two ninjas immediately told everything they saw and heard.

"Are you saying that Orochimaru fought with someone?"

"I didn't see any enemies, and Lord Orochimaru also said it was an accident."

"How is his mood?"

"It seems that he has something on his mind."

"Before leaving, or after returning?"

"Well, it seems that it has always been there, and it was more serious when I came back."

"I see, go!"

"Yes!"

The two ninjas disappeared again, and Sarutobi Hiruzen whispered, "Is it because the Uzushio Village was destroyed?"

He didn't doubt Orochimaru, but simply saw that his disciple looked worried, so he asked a few more questions out of concern.

Three days later, in the Senju ancestral house, Tsunade pulled out several boxes of books from a corner, raising a cloud of dust.

Throwing the boxes in front of Orochimaru, she patted the dust and said, "I really don't understand why you want to read these things for no reason!"

"Haha, the purpose is not important, the main thing is that this is the first time Orochimaru asks for help!" Another white-haired young man stood aside and grinned and teased.

"Thank you!"

Orochimaru did not explain too much, opened the book box and read one by one.

Although the books in the box have been stored for a long time, they have been protected from insects and moisture, except for being a little fragile, which basically does not affect reading.

When turning to a certain page, Orochimaru suddenly stopped, and his eyes stayed on one line.

[......According to legend, the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja Sect to eliminate the barriers between people and bring peace and love, and spread the chakra practice method. As he continued to travel, people from all over the world gradually mastered the power of chakra...]

After reading, Orochimaru continued to flip through other books with a blank expression.

Soon his finger stopped again and found another record.

[...The glory of the Senju clan can be traced back to the Six Paths Sage...]

Orochimaru frowned slightly and then turned the pages again.

He finished reading all the books in one afternoon.

Before leaving, Jiraiya grimaced, his face was blue and purple, which was the result of training with Tsunade in the afternoon.

Orochimaru was too lazy to pay attention to him. When the two were about to leave the Senju clan, a little red-haired girl was timidly brought into the Senju main house.

"Hey, Orochimaru, that hair color is from the Uzumaki clan, right? It's not that they..."

"Who knows." Orochimaru retracted his gaze and turned away.

"Hey! You guy, wait for me!"

That night, Orochimaru sat alone in the house without turning on the lights.

After several days of investigation, most of the words in the message were confirmed.

At this moment, a light blue light curtain floated in front of him. He looked at the "God-viewing Method" and did not hesitate. According to what was written in it, he tried to mobilize his mental power alone, and in a completely new way that he had never tried, he could look inside his own soul little by little.

This process requires extreme silence. For the genius ninja Orochimaru, except for the initial discomfort, he quickly became proficient.

Unconsciously, his impetuousness was gone, and Orochimaru felt the beauty of "quiet" for the first time. This feeling had never been experienced before, and he was unconsciously intoxicated.

At this time, in the darkness with his eyes closed, an illusory figure gradually became clear.

Orochimaru instantly recognized that it was his own soul.

It felt wonderful to see his own soul in this way for the first time.

But the next second, what he saw made his heart almost stop!

In the depths of his soul, he saw two things, a blue rune and a green seed with roots.

When Orochimaru's thoughts swept over, Daowen fed back information and transmitted it to his brain, telling him that this thing was the root of the blue light curtain.

As for the seed, as Orochimaru's thoughts approached, he not only did not get any information, but was horrified to find that the other party was like a leech, constantly sucking his life force through its roots.

Buzz!

In the room, Orochimaru suddenly opened his eyes, cold sweat had soaked his whole body, and he felt a chill all over his body. He raised his hand and grabbed his chest tightly.

That was where the chakra seed in the soul was located.

It was true!

What the message said was actually true! !

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, despair, fear, and anger flashed in his eyes.

He even had a tendency to self-destruct.

For a whole night, when the dim light shone into the bedroom the next day, Orochimaru's eyes were already bloodshot.

Mental breakdown?

No, after thinking for a whole night, the despair and fear in Orochimaru's eyes had disappeared, and there was only anger and determination.

For freedom and survival.

He wanted to resist!

Thinking of this, he controlled the opening of the light curtain and took the initiative to leave a message below the post for the first time.

[Hello, Immortal, through the secret technique you left, I have successfully seen the chakra seeds. I would like to express my respectful gratitude to you. I wonder if you can tell me how to expel the chakra seeds? If you can, I would be very grateful. ]

After sending the message, Orochimaru felt a little complicated. Whether it was the Six Paths Sage or the Wandering Sage who created the light curtain, they seemed to be able to control the lives of ordinary people like them at will.

He clearly remembered that there was still a Daowen in his soul.

No one can be sure whether the Daowen has any other functions besides maintaining the light curtain, but in comparison, the other party's gift of the "Guan Shen Fa" to actively expose the existence of the Daowen can be regarded as a kind of honesty.

Orochimaru, who has no better way for the time being, can only try to cooperate with the other party.

But he should be wary.

It's just that the expected answer has not appeared. At first, Orochimaru thought that this was the other party's communication skills of self-esteem and pretentiousness, but it turned out that he thought too much.

As time passed, Orochimaru would open it every morning to take a look and wait for an answer.

He was ready for the other party to make various requests.

But in this way, more than half a year has passed, and it has come to the 34th year of Konoha, and the light curtain is still silent.

Orochimaru also went from being on high alert at the beginning to becoming irritable, then uneasy, then panic, and now hopeless.
