26 Chapter 26: Ten Thousand Snakes

Chapter 26: Ten Thousand Snakes

"Isn't it too late to not go back and rest?" Kenichi looked helplessly at the little follower behind him. Why did this little guy like to stick to him so much?

"Senior brother, the teacher has been ignoring me lately. Is he angry with me?" Anko Lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, a look of dejection on her face.

Kenichi scratched his head. He indeed knew what his teacher meant. After all, the teacher had said that Ankowas not suitable to leave the Leaf Village with them.

Therefore, the teacher actually had other arrangements for his junior sister, which was to let her forget about the teacher and live well in the Leaf Village.

Although Kenichi knew this, he couldn't possibly tell his junior sister, so he could only say something else.

"Of course not. The teacher has just been very busy lately. I rarely get to see him myself." Kenichi said with a smile, rubbing Anko's head. This little girl was quite sensitive.

"Senior brother can't see him either?" Ankos howed a surprised expression.

Kenichi nodded.

The best way to comfort someone is to first empathize, letting the other person know you are the same, which makes the comfort more effective.

This was an experience from Kenichi previous life.

"The teacher is so busy. Recently, the village has been spreading rumors that the teacher could become the Fourth Hokage." Ankoseemed to relax a bit and started to ramble about other things.

Kenichi listened quietly, casually buying two skewers of tricolor dumplings and handing one to Anko.

Looking at the tricolor dumplings in his hand, Kenichi thought of Itachi and Kisame. It had to be said that the Uchiha clan produced quite a few geniuses. The Sharingan was indeed powerful.

At least for the current ninja world, it was so. In the later stages, the Sharingan also became a very important combat force.

"By the way, senior brother." Ankosuddenly thought of something and hurriedly tugged on Kenichi sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Kenichi looked at his junior sister with a puzzled expression.

"The ninjutsu that the teacher taught me before, I don't quite understand it. Can you teach me?" Ankolooked at Kenichi eagerly, and he scratched his head but did not refuse.

After all, the teacher had told him to be cautious during this time. Teaching his junior sister ninjutsu was actually a good disguise.

So, Kenichi took Anko to the training ground for some practice, and with his rapidly growing strength, teaching his junior sister became easier.

However, the training session ended quickly, and the reason was the lightning streaking across the sky and the deafening thunder.

"It's thundering." Kenichi thoughtfully said. Speaking of which, he remembered that in the future, Sasuke once created a ninjutsu, Lightning Release: Kirin, a very powerful ninjutsu, but it seemed that it required the Sharingan to clearly see the direction of the lightning.

It was a highly difficult lightning attribute ninjutsu that utilized the power of nature.

Kenichi glanced at his Three Tomoe Sharingan research progress. The current progress was just 23%, not very slow, but still required some time.

Without the aid of the Sharingan, Kenichi had no intention of rashly attempting to research other ninjutsu. Instead, after sending his junior sister home, he slowly returned to his own home and lay down on the bed.

The next morning, as soon as Kenichi got up, he was dragged away by his teacher.

"Kenichi, do you know about summoning beasts?" Orochimaru asked calmly. Kenichi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. Of course, he knew.

In the world of Naruto, the most famous summoning beast would probably be the toads of Mount Myoboku, as they often appeared with the protagonist.

Then there were Orochimaru's own Ten Thousand Snakes, although Kenichi was not particularly interested in his teacher's summoning beasts. The character of the Ten Thousand Snakes was really...

Next came the slugs, salamanders, ninja hounds, and even crow summoning beasts. There were many types.

In terms of pure strength, naturally, the three great sacred lands were better.

"Teacher, are you going to let me contract a summoning beast?" Kenichi was a bit puzzled. Summoning beasts were quite practical, except for those from the Dragon Caves, which might have more conditions.

"No, what you need to do now is to focus on polishing your ninjutsu." Orochimaru shook his head. He himself was once a student taken out by Hiruzen Sarutobi, so he naturally knew the steps from Genin to Jonin.

And the strength level of Chunin can be said to be neither high nor low, somewhat awkward, but it is also necessary to polish the basics. If the basics are polished well, then becoming a Jonin in the future is a natural progression.

After all, whether it's Jonin or Chunin, it's just a title. The key is to look at strength. Even among Genin, there might be freaks who can defeat elite Jonin or even Kage-level ninjas.

"You are my disciple, after all. If your strength is weaker than that of an elite Jonin, I would be embarrassed to admit it." Orochimaru smiled. He had high expectations for Kenichi.

Previously, he thought his disciple could only rely on himself to survive in the future, but now his strength has made rapid progress, which made Orochimaru quite pleased.

"Hehe. I will work hard. So, teacher, what were you saying before?" Kenichi scratched his head and couldn't help but ask.

"It's like this, I was wondering if summoning beasts can get cancer." Orochimaru showed a hint of a smile, his eyes filled with some fanaticism.

Kenichi mouth twitched. Summoning beasts getting cancer? That was indeed a profound question.

In his previous life, Kenichi would immediately nod. Animals are animals, and it's not strange for them to get cancer. But this is the world of Naruto, where those powerful summoning beasts have much stronger physiques than ordinary ninjas.

So whether they can get cancer is also a question, especially if those summoning beasts have Sage Chakra, the variables are even more.

"Teacher, that would require experimentation. Do you want to bring out the Ten Thousand Snakes?" Kenichi rubbed his hands, eagerly asking.

"Don't mention that guy." Orochimaru's face instantly darkened. The Ten Thousand Snakes had become increasingly arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that the White Snake Sage was behind it...

Kenichi coughed twice. That's true. He had only seen his teacher summon the Ten Thousand Snakes during wars. At other times, he would not summon them at all. The character of the Ten Thousand Snakes was indeed very poor.

"The teacher's summoning beast needs a health check."
