Chapter 149

Land of Fields, Sound Village, training ground of Orochimaru's base.

"Dance of the Larch———!"

A boy with snow-white hair and a pair of red moles above his eyebrows, while his body was rotating forward at high speed, his body suddenly grew a large number of bone spurs like a hedgehog and crashed toward Shengzai.

However, facing such an attack, another young man in front of the boy, who also had a pair of red moles on his forehead, was holding a bone sword in his hand and easily flicked it upward!

Accompanied by a blue sword light exploding in the air, Kimimaro, who used the Dance of the Larch to crash into Shengzai, had all the bones growing on his body surface shattered instantly, and even his body flew backward for more than ten meters.

"Kimimaro, you are still too green, but in terms of the Bloodline of Shikotsumyaku, you are undoubtedly a genius of the Kaguya clan.

After all, at your age, clan members who can use Shikotsumyaku to this extent are few and far between, even in the glorious period of the Kaguya clan.

But your application method of Shikotsumyaku is too shallow, and you rely too much on the power of the Bloodline.

No matter how strong the Bloodline is, it is just a means to assist ninjas in battle. But your level of Bloodline application and your own combat quality are too poor."

Hearing Shengzai's unceremonious comments, Kimimaro, whose body was already covered in scars, struggled to climb up. Although he had been beaten very miserably, he still nodded humbly and said: "Brother Shengzai, thank you for your advice. I will definitely become stronger!

Because only in this way can I help Lord Orochimaru..."

Hearing Kimimaro's words, Shengzai looked noncommittal. Although he didn't know how strong the personality charm of that guy Orochimaru, who washed his face with his tongue all day, was, that could make so many people loyal to him.

But if it weren't for Orochimaru, Kimimaro would have already died long ago. This is indeed a fact.

Kimimaro is a genius of the Kaguya clan, but he did not receive the treatment a genius should have. Because he awakened "Shikotsumyaku," he was imprisoned by his clan members as a human shield and weapon when he was young.

And the reason why Kimimaro calls Shengzai brother is actually not wrong, because in terms of seniority, Shengzai is indeed Kimimaro's clan brother.

And when other clan members of the Kaguya clan regarded him as a monster, only Brother Shengzai was extremely good to him, so Kimimaro has always respected Shengzai very much.

The reason why the Kaguya clan perished was because of rebellion. In the battle to attack the Hidden Mist Village, the whole clan was wiped out. Only he, who did not participate in the battle due to illness, luckily survived.

And the reason why Brother Shengzai in front of him died was not because of the battle with the Hidden Mist Village, but because of the family's congenital disease.

That's right, just like his current situation, historically, any Kaguya clan member who awakened "Shikotsumyaku" would inherit this congenital disease.

For the Kaguya clan, Shikotsumyaku is both a powerful force and a life-taking curse.

If it weren't for meeting Lord Orochimaru, he would probably have died alone in a prison.

At the same time, because he was raised by Orochimaru and felt the warmth he couldn't feel from his clan members, Kimimaro worshipped Orochimaru extremely and was loyal to him.

"Kimimaro, today's lesson ends here. We will meet again."

Hearing Shengzai's words, Kimimaro was a bit confused, but thinking that Shengzai meant to see him tomorrow, Kimimaro didn't pay too much attention and just nodded to show he understood.

And after seeing Shengzai's back leave, Kimimaro looked at his arm that was still trembling constantly and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Why do I feel that Brother Shengzai today seems to have become stronger than before...

It seems that my training is still not enough. With my current level, I am not qualified to be Lord Orochimaru's new container."

Kimimaro thought while turning his head to look at the Sound Four next to him, and under the fearful gazes of the few, he said: "Kidomaru, Sakon, Tayuya, and Jirobo, next, you four fight me.

You can use the power of the curse mark, but I will not show mercy. If you don't have the determination to kill me, I can't guarantee what you will become in the end."

Hearing Kimimaro's words, the Sound Four next to him instantly showed bitter faces.

No one knows better than them how strong Kimimaro is, because the four of them are often beaten to death by Kimimaro.

As elites of the Sound Village, in the case of using the "Curse Mark Power" bestowed by Lord Orochimaru, the strength level of the four of them definitely reaches the level of elite Chunin.

But even if the four of them went together, in the face of Kimimaro, they would still be completely crushed by the normal Kimimaro.

Don't look at how Kimimaro was belittled by Shengzai in the previous battle, but the Sound Four all know very well that Kimimaro is just not good in front of Shengzai.

Even without using the power of the curse mark, Kimimaro has the strength close to a Special Jonin. If he uses the power of the curse mark, his strength level is definitely comparable to the Jonin of the five major ninja villages.

In the eyes of the Sound Four, Kaguya Shengzai has always been an existence comparable to an elite Jonin. If it weren't for Lord Orochimaru being the caster of Reanimation, the opponent would not have obediently surrendered to Lord Orochimaru.

After a fierce exchange, the Sound Four finally lay on the ground in a mess, and Kimimaro, who slowly exhaled, took back the two bone spurs on his hands into his body and instantly regained the confidence he had just lost.

That's right, he, Kaguya Kimimaro, as a survivor of the Kaguya clan, is still very strong. The reason why he had no power to fight back in front of Brother Shengzai was just because the opponent was too strong.

However, the next day when Kimimaro wanted to find Shengzai for special training again, Kimimaro was stunned to find that Shengzai's room was empty.

And on the table in Shengzai's room, there were letters left by Shengzai for Orochimaru and Kimimaro respectively.

Kimimaro opened the letter written to him, which contained only one sentence: "You cannot become Orochimaru's container, because the Bloodline he wants most is the Sharingan, not the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku.

Instead of becoming a container used by him for three years, it is better to find a way to solve your own disease, so that you can always stay by his side and serve him."

Kimimaro was loyal to Orochimaru, and the possibility of Shengzai kidnapping the other party was not high. For the sake of the same clan, Shengzai could only try his best to help Kimimaro change his thinking so that he would not die too worthless.

Kimimaro already possessed Jonin strength at the age of fifteen and could even assassinate the Fourth Kazekage with Orochimaru. It can be said that he had huge potential. In Shengzai's view, dying like that was really a pity.
