Chapter 4: Something's Wrong

"Damn it, no milk is bad enough, but Orochimaru, that bastard, actually fed me blood?!"

Ishihara's heart screamed a string of curses.

But as the blood flowed down his throat, the hunger in his belly made him swallow involuntarily.

Glug! Glug!

The warm blood flowed into his stomach.

Ishihara's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Not good!"

He felt his stomach was extremely uncomfortable, far worse than having an upset stomach before.

He couldn't digest it!

But just then.

【You understood the digestive system of the stomach, you felt the nutrients in the blood desperately wanting to be absorbed, you created the Bloodthirsty Demon Art】

What the hell is this Bloodthirsty Demon Art?!

Ishihara's eyes widened in shock.

Is there something wrong with this broken system?

I am a good young man, yet you give me a Demon Art?!

But after a stream of information flooded his mind, Ishihara immediately fell in love with it.

【Bloodthirsty Demon Art: Can rapidly absorb nutrients from blood, accelerate body growth, strengthen physique, and speed up body recovery!】

It actually has three special effects!

Awesome!!!

Ishihara cheered in his heart.

Right then, he didn't care if it was a Demon Art anymore and started circulating it directly.

Immediately, his stomach began to exert force, and the blood that had just made him extremely uncomfortable was instantly digested and absorbed crazily by his stomach!

A large amount of nutrients and energy was absorbed and circulated to all parts of his body.

For a moment, Ishihara actually felt his body was warm!

However, he drank so intently that he failed to notice Orochimaru staring at him fiercely, his heart filled with shock.

"Two liters!!!"

"He has already drunk over two liters of blood!"

"Not only is there no rise and fall in his belly, but those bloods disappeared immediately after being drunk down!"

"Could it be that he digested them?!"

Orochimaru was momentarily uncertain and suspicious.

Even though he had seen much, he was shocked by Ishihara's digestive ability and appetite.

"It seems I picked up an extraordinary person this time!"

After staring at Ishihara for a while, Orochimaru suddenly smiled.

Although they had just met not long ago, Ishihara had given him far too many surprises.

He couldn't help but start looking forward to Ishihara's future!

"Let me see how far you can go in the future."

Orochimaru watched silently as Ishihara drank all the blood of the entire wild wolf, said nothing, and continued on the journey with him.

"I was too excited just now, it seems I exposed myself."

Ishihara sighed in his heart and could only take things one step at a time.

As long as I show enough talent, there shouldn't be any trouble, right?

Not long after, Orochimaru escaped from the Land of Fire and arrived at a secret base in the neighboring Land of Rice Fields.

The secret base was located underground.

When Orochimaru arrived, several figures appeared at the entrance and knelt to welcome him.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Orochimaru didn't even look at them, walked straight in, and ordered:

"Collect intelligence on Konoha for me; I want to keep abreast of Konoha's situation at all times!"

"Yes!"

Looking at Orochimaru's back, the cannon-fodder-level subordinates exchanged surprised glances.

Lord Orochimaru, cold as a snake, had actually brought back a child.

"Lord Orochimaru, shall I find a woman to take care of the child for you?"

Someone dared to speak up and ask.

Orochimaru paused, looked down at Ishihara who was waiting with round eyes, curiously looking around.

"No need, I will take care of this child myself!"

The subordinates immediately widened their eyes in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

However, Orochimaru paid no attention to their thoughts and led Ishihara into the dim underground base.
