While Orochimaru was deep in thought, Kimimaro attacked again.
Seeing that the bone blades in his hands were useless, Kimimaro swung his body backward, simultaneously raising both hands towards Yūto.
Corpse Bone Pulse – Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The finger bones instantly shot out like bullets, not only extremely fast but also incredibly powerful.
Seeing this scene, Yūto showed a helpless expression on his face, allowing the attack to hit him.
The moment the ten finger bones touched Yūto's body, they seemed to lose all power, sliding down his clothes.
Seeing that Kimimaro's attack was completely unable to harm Yūto, Orochimaru's eyelids twitched slightly:
"Alright, Kimimaro, stop."
Following Orochimaru's voice, Kimimaro's body, which was about to attack, paused slightly. Although a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, he still stopped.
Orochimaru didn't wait for Yūto to act, he himself lifted his leg and stepped down.
Puff!
Accompanied by a splash of fresh blood.
To Yūto's slightly surprised expression, Orochimaru himself crushed Ukon's head.
"Without any use, there is naturally no need for him to exist."
Orochimaru said calmly, then raised his head to look at Yūto, saying faintly with a fake smile:
"Yūto-sama, you came here today, I presume it's not for these useless subordinates of mine."
Yūto chuckled softly, glanced at Kimimaro, and said in a low voice, "I want two people."
Orochimaru's eyelids twitched slightly, and a hint of curiosity and expectedness flashed across his face.
Kimimaro's identity was not much of a secret; as long as the Mist Ninja Village wanted to investigate, they could still find out Kimimaro's identity.
This was also the reason why Orochimaru brought Kimimaro out. It was clear that Orochimaru had guessed that Yūto came today for Kimimaro.
But now, Yūto actually said he wanted two people, which made Orochimaru a little curious about who the second person Yūto was referring to was.
"Who?" Orochimaru's pupils deepened slightly, and he licked his lips, saying.
"Kimimaro, Suigetsu Hozuki."
Yūto smiled lightly, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Orochimaru, and he said with a questioning tone:
"Speaking of which, I am very curious, I wonder what Otogakure intends by capturing people from our Mist Ninja Village?"
Kimimaro was one thing, after all, it was the Mist Ninja Village's own doing, and Orochimaru at most just picked up a bargain.
But Suigetsu Hozuki was indeed captured by Orochimaru.
Hearing Yūto's words, Orochimaru lowered his head slightly and let out a low chuckle:
"I happened to encounter someone from the Hozuki Clan a while ago and was a little curious, so I invited them as a guest. The two people Yūto-sama wants can leave with Yūto-sama at any time."
Orochimaru, who was lowering his head, had a subtle hint of killing intent flash in his eyes. The Hozuki Clan itself held a significant position in the Mist Ninja Village.
Naturally, when Orochimaru captured Suigetsu Hozuki, he did it very secretly. Besides the people in Otogakure, no outsiders should know about this matter.
It seems that during this time, I need to clean up the inside of Otogakure, Orochimaru thought to himself.
Yūto rolled his eyes at Orochimaru's skillful lying and couldn't be bothered to respond.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Kimimaro's body stiffened, filled with disbelief:
"Orochimaru-sama, you don't need me anymore…"
Before Orochimaru could speak, Yūto looked at Kimimaro and said seriously:
"You are Kimimaro of the Kaguya Clan of the Mist Ninja Village, never Kimimaro of the Sound Ninja Village."
After Yūto finished speaking, he noticed that Kimimaro's attention was not on him at all, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his face.
Orochimaru's brainwashing skills were too exaggerated. Yūto believed that he didn't have any talk-no-jutsu that could easily change other people's minds.
Therefore, Yūto stared intently at Orochimaru with a strong threatening gaze.
Feeling Yūto's gaze, Orochimaru's eyelids twitched wildly, but his expression was unusually calm as he looked at Kimimaro faintly:
"Unable to be a vessel, you no longer have any use."
"No use?" Feeling Orochimaru's cold gaze, Kimimaro's body trembled, and he muttered to himself with lifeless eyes.
After speaking, Orochimaru turned his head and no longer looked at Kimimaro. He formed a hand sign, and a small snake quickly slithered away from Orochimaru's body.
While Kimimaro was in a daze, a hand gently patted his shoulder.
Kimimaro mechanically raised his head and looked at Yūto, who had a gentle expression.
"A person's value is never determined by others, the key is in oneself."
"The Mist Ninja Village needs you, and I need you too."
Yūto's soft voice entered Kimimaro's ears. Hearing that he was needed, a glimmer of light flashed in Kimimaro's originally lifeless eyes.
At this point, Yūto stopped. Changing Kimimaro's mind would definitely not happen overnight.
However, Yūto was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time.
Tap—tap—
Several footsteps sounded from a distance.
Suigetsu Hozuki was a little curious. He didn't know what that guy Orochimaru was thinking today, to actually unlock all the restraints that had been confining him and even send two people to bring him out.
He glanced at the two people, one holding him and the other leading the way. These two were just ordinary Otogakure Ninja, not very strong.
Even though his body was a bit weak due to prolonged confinement, Suigetsu Hozuki was confident that he could easily take down these two people.
However, thinking of Orochimaru's terrifying strength, Suigetsu Hozuki's heart trembled slightly, and he obediently followed along.
It didn't take long for Suigetsu Hozuki to see Orochimaru ahead, and a young man standing opposite Orochimaru with a casual expression.
After bringing Suigetsu Hozuki over, the two Otogakure Ninja looked at Orochimaru with fiery eyes and said:
"Orochimaru-sama, Suigetsu Hozuki is here!"
Orochimaru nodded faintly and waved his hand casually at the two Otogakure Ninja.
The two Ninja quickly bowed and turned to leave.
"Alright, Yūto-sama, the person you wanted has been brought over."
Orochimaru looked at Yūto with a hint of respect in his expression.
Suigetsu Hozuki on the side widened his eyes, completely unable to understand the current situation.
Did Orochimaru's words just mean that he was letting him go?
Suigetsu Hozuki was a little incredulous, and for a moment, he actually overlooked the respect in Orochimaru's tone.
"Hozuki Clan brat, what are you spacing out for?"
Yūto looked at Suigetsu Hozuki and said faintly.
Suigetsu Hozuki was slightly taken aback, looking at Yūto, who was not much older than him, and pouted with dissatisfaction: "You don't seem much older than me, brat."
Yūto was stunned for a moment. Since his resurrection, this was the first time he had heard someone call him a brat.
Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Yūto's face:
"Very good, I like your tough personality."
"That's right, I'm the man who will revive the name of the 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist'." Suigetsu Hozuki stuck out his thumb and pointed at himself, answering proudly.
