WTR-
A cold, dark killing intent swept towards Izumi, and she immediately tensed her body.
"Oh! Is this killing intent?" Izumi felt a chill all over her body; it was the first time she had felt such an aura. She said with some regret, "If you don't want to, you don't want to! Seriously, sigh."
Orochimaru thought that his laboratory just happened to be lacking Uchiha material, and this time he might be able to take the risk and obtain one.
He directly stretched out his arm and shouted at Izumi, "Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"
A snake suddenly appeared from his sleeve and bit towards Izumi.
Izumi couldn't dodge in time and was bitten on the neck.
However, then Izumi suddenly transformed into a log, while she slowly walked out from behind a nearby tree, her eyes already turned into the crimson Sharingan.
Izumi laughed, "Phew, that was close, that was close! Thanks to Lord Orochimaru for holding back, otherwise I wouldn't even have been able to use the Substitution Technique."
Orochimaru stared blankly at Izumi. Against a little girl who seemed to have just started school, it was naturally impossible for him to use his full power, but this was definitely not something she could have dodged at her current age. Moreover, she had already awakened her Sharingan.
Orochimaru regained his composure. Not only was he not angry, but he became excited. He had previously seen Uchiha Itachi's strength, which far surpassed his peers, and now he saw another genius girl from the Uchiha Clan. He thought of himself; if he also had such bloodline...
Izumi asked, "Lord Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru snapped back to reality. He suddenly withdrew his killing intent and asked, "How was it? Did you learn that move just now?"
Izumi scratched her head and said awkwardly, "Uh, haha, I'm really sorry, Lord Orochimaru. I didn't learn it. You seemed to use something, and then used this move together. I don't know what that was."
"As expected of the Sharingan." Orochimaru smiled, though his smile was still terrifying. He asked, "You want to learn Ninjutsu?"
"Yes, yes!" Izumi immediately nodded.
"Good, then come with me." Orochimaru directly turned his head and left.
"Eh? Really?" Izumi immediately followed him.
Orochimaru smiled, thinking to himself, "Tricking a little girl couldn't be easier. I'll make you like Anko, training you so that from now on, you'll only have me, Orochimaru, in your eyes. Once my Ninjutsu research is complete, I can gain great power and then achieve immortality!"
Orochimaru brought Uchiha Izumi to an underground laboratory. It was filled with bottles and jars, numerous instruments, and even many bodies soaking in liquid.
Orochimaru asked, "Are you scared? It's normal for someone your age to be scared. No one in Konoha researches this."
Izumi shook her head and said, "Not scared, but rather I feel very impressed."
"Oh?" Orochimaru had never seen such a young girl before. He asked, "Why impressed?"
Izumi said, "Everyone wants to learn powerful Ninjutsu and become strong Ninja, but no one is like you, a Ninja who loves scientific research. Although researching corpses is cruel, someone has to do it, right?"
"Pioneers are always misunderstood and easily labeled as dark and cruel, but it is precisely because of these pioneers' exploration in the darkness that future generations can step into a bright future."
"Oh? Remarkable, to have such a philosophy at such a young age." Orochimaru was struck by her words. Yes, his methods were not recognized by others and were instead considered heretical, yet the Third Hokage and Danzo and those people continued to profit from his achievements. He was indeed a pioneer exploring in the darkness.
Orochimaru looked at Izumi. He had originally planned to use her for experiments, but now Orochimaru changed his mind. He wanted to cultivate her. If things went smoothly, he would brainwash her and make her his pawn. He would also have an obedient subordinate, a pawn from the Uchiha Clan, which was quite good."
"If she doesn't obey later, once my Jutsu succeeds, I'll use her as material for the Living Corpse Reincarnation. It doesn't matter if she's a female; my evolution doesn't care about gender."
He sat down and asked, "Do you want to learn Ninjutsu and these researches from me?"
Izumi nodded, "Mm-hmm, I want to learn."
Orochimaru nodded, "Very good. As my disciple, I want to give you a welcoming gift. Hmm, what should I give you? I've got it."
"Summoning Technique!"
He placed his hand on the ground and used the Summoning Technique.
He summoned a huge scroll, then said to Izumi, "This is a Summoning Beast scroll. Sign your name on it with your blood, and you can use Summoning Beasts to assist you in battle. My Summoning Beasts, of course, are snakes."
"Eh? Really? Thank you, Lord Orochimaru!" Izumi immediately opened the scroll and looked at the names on it: "Anko Mitarashi," "Yakushi Kabuto."
Seeing these names, Izumi narrowed her eyes. She bit her finger and wrote her name in blood.
Orochimaru demonstrated once and said, "This is the hand seal for using the Summoning Technique. You can use it from now on. If you use it now, you can only summon some ordinary Summoning Beasts. Powerful Summoning Beasts require you to personally sign a contract."
"Mm-hmm!" Izumi immediately nodded and memorized the hand seal sequence.
Orochimaru said to Izumi, "You're still in school, aren't you?"
Izumi nodded, "Yes, that's right."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then you go back first. Come early tomorrow, and I'll teach you some more powerful Ninjutsu."
Uchiha Izumi shook her head and said, "Lord Orochimaru, I can learn today."
Orochimaru patted Izumi's head and said with a smile, "Heh heh, children are always like this, always impatient. You should rest well today, get your spirits up, and I'll teach you other Ninjutsu and how to use these instruments tomorrow."
"Okay! Then fine." Izumi could only return, looking dejected.
"Goodbye, Lord Orochimaru!" Izumi waved goodbye to Orochimaru.
"Mm, Izumi, goodbye." Orochimaru also waved and smiled.
After Izumi left, Orochimaru sneered, then stuck out his long tongue and licked his face, saying, "First, use the materials I bought, finish this experiment, and then prepare for tomorrow. If not, I'll plant the Cursed Seal on her tomorrow. Uchiha Clan material, heh heh."
Orochimaru sneered and returned to the laboratory.
Walking out of there, she was overjoyed. After all, she had a Summoning Beast, and a very strong snake-type Summoning Beast at that. She bit her finger again, completed the hand seals, and pressed her palm to the ground, saying, "Let's start with a small one, Summoning Technique!"
"Bang!" With a sound, a slender blue snake appeared in the center of the sealing array.
Izumi looked at the small snake with some surprise.
The small snake approached Izumi, making her a little scared, but it crawled up her leg and then gently coiled around her body.
Izumi tried to stroke its head, and it obediently allowed her to pet it.
"Ah, so cute!" Izumi couldn't help but say, "This is really nice!"
"Young lady." A strange voice came.
Izumi was startled, then looked at the snake flicking its tongue and said, "Wow! You can talk, you scared me."
Blue Ya nodded, "Yes, of course I can talk. It's my first time being summoned, it's really interesting."
"My name is Izumi, what's your name?"
"My name is Blue Ya."
"Mm-hmm, good, hahaha, I'm also someone with a Summoning Beast now, hahahaha…"
The next day, Izumi got ready early. Just as she was about to go find Orochimaru, she suddenly heard everyone saying that Orochimaru had been discovered by the Third Hokage doing human experiments and had defected.
"Ah! That fast!" Izumi was stunned. She had originally planned to rely on Orochimaru, learn his Ninjutsu and research achievements before he defected, and even obtain Senju Hashirama's cells for research.
If possible, she might even have been implanted with the Cursed Seal, and she could have easily broken through the Cursed Seal using Divine Ink to gain its power, and even cultivate Sage Mode, but Orochimaru defected the very next day.
"Seriously, what a useless guy." Izumi complained about Orochimaru for a few moments, then returned home.
However, it was a good thing Izumi got Orochimaru's Summoning Scroll; otherwise, she would have gotten nothing and risked being captured for experiments by relying on him, which would have been a real loss.
