Naruto Talent System - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Snake Shadow Appears

“Who!”

Just as Uchiha Zeno was about to take off his shirt and put on new weight-bearing equipment to start exercising, suddenly he felt something strange.

He was startled, and instantly realized that someone was casting an illusion on him, and immediately erupted the Chakra in his body, dispelling the illusion, then turned around suddenly and shouted to one side, his eyes became extremely sharp.

Swish Swish Swish! ! !

Shadow Clone reacted in the same way. The Shadow Clone also cracked the illusion at the first time, then stopped practicing, and swept around Uchiha Zeno, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune.

There are ten Shadow Clones on each side, all surrounded in a circle, facing the outside, looking around cautiously.

It’s just that unlike Uchiha Zeno, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune, who were also protected by Shadow Clone, reacted very strangely, as if they were frozen in place, motionless, and when they looked closely, their eyes were also blank.

Obviously, the two women were also attacked by illusions. Because they did not have the abilities of Uchiha Zeno and Shadow Clone, they did not find out and could not break free.

“What a wonderful boy, not only broke free from my illusion, but also reacted so quickly, Uchiha Zeno, you are as good as I heard.”

In the direction where Uchiha Zeno was staring sharply, a slender figure slowly came out from behind a big tree. It was a man with long hair and a handsome appearance.

Seeing each other’s appearance, Uchiha Zeno’s pupils shrunk.

Even with the cover of the Shadow Clone, the visitor was keenly aware of the change in Uchiha Zeno’s expression, his voice was slightly hoarse, but he chuckled charmingly: “It seems that you know me, so you should be able to untie it. Be prepared.”

“Well, since it’s Master Orochimaru, there’s really no need for this.” Though thoughts flashed through Uchiha Zeno’s mind quickly, but he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he showed a cheerful smile after saluting and moved Shadow Clone swung back.

That’s right, the man who suddenly appeared is Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin.

“I don’t know if Orochimaru is looking for something for me, and if possible, please help my classmate dispel the illusion.” Seeing Orochimaru approaching, Uchiha Zeno said respectfully without changing his expression.

Naturally, he wouldn’t think that it was just an accident that Orochimaru appeared here and used illusion.

After walking a few meters away from Uchiha Zeno, Orochimaru stopped. He glanced at Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune who were still in the illusion, and his eyes soon fell back on Uchiha Zeno.

“Let’s keep your two classmates like this for now. I won’t hurt them. I just want to get to know you, Zeno, here.”

With a chuckle on Orochimaru’s face, he continued: “I heard that another outstanding genius appeared in the Ninja School, and he is also a well-known Uchiha tribe, so I came here out of curiosity.”

“Master Orochimaru, I’m just a very ordinary person. It’s not worth Master Orochimaru coming to me in person.” Uchiha Zeno said very modestly.

“No, I think it’s worth it. Your performance just now was better than I imagined.” Orochimaru glanced at the scattered Shadow Clone, and praised Uchiha Zeno.

Although the illusion he cast just now was only a C-level illusion, with his ability, it was enough for Chūnin to fall into it unaware.

But Uchiha Zeno was aware of it in an instant, and easily broke free from the illusion.

Moreover, he also hid his aura, but Uchiha Zeno still found his location quickly.

Just these two performances have given Orochimaru an idea of ​​how good Uchiha Zeno is, and it’s just the lower limit.

In addition, there are a lot of Shadow Clone.

Although the difficulty of learning Shadow Clone is much easier than other B-level ninjutsu, it is not easy to learn at will, let alone assign twenty of them to practice like Uchiha Zeno.

From this situation, Orochimaru has already known that Uchiha Zeno’s Chakra is also far more filling than his peers, which is also an extraordinary point.

“It’s my honor to be recognized by Mr. Orochimaru!” Uchiha Zeno scratched his head for Orochimaru’s praise, and said with some embarrassment.

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Zeno meaningfully, and suddenly said: “Zeno, I wonder if you are interested in becoming my disciple.”

Uchiha Zeno’s eyelids twitched, and he said in surprise, “Master Orochimaru, do you want to accept me as a disciple?”

This time he was really surprised. He speculated about the intention of Orochimaru’s appearance, and even thought that the other party was sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen to test him, but he didn’t expect that the other party actually wanted to accept him as his disciple.

Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

“It’s just an idea, but your talent really makes me appreciate it. It just so happens that I haven’t accepted any disciples. Although I can’t say absolutely, if you can get my training, you must be able to grow better.” Orochimaru smiled Said.

Uchiha Zeno had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Orochimaru did not urge this either, but quietly waited for Uchiha Zeno’s reply.

After a while, Uchiha Zeno stared at Orochimaru and said respectfully: “If Master Orochimaru is willing to accept me as a disciple, I am very willing!”

Of course Orochimaru will be a dangerous figure in the future, and even has pervert-like ambitions for Sharingan.

But at this period, the opponent has not yet experienced the psychological blow brought by Uchiha Itachi, so the ambition for Sharingan should not have been stimulated.

Moreover, when Orochimaru did not defect, he had a very high status in Konoha, and even had the qualifications to compete for Hokage. Being able to become the opponent’s disciple also had many benefits for Uchiha Zeno.

Of course, the most important thing is Orochimaru’s own ability.

It is undeniable that the opponent’s research on jutsu can be said to be a good successor to Sarutobi Hiruzen who has a “ninjutsu professor”.

If he can get the sincere cultivation of the other party, he will definitely be able to get richer resource support.

Uchiha Zeno’s answer obviously satisfied Orochimaru, with a wider smile on his face, he said: “It’s really good, it seems that I will have a good disciple soon….”
