37 Meetup

Orochimaru let the kunai slip back into his kimono. It has already become his habit of keeping kunai in custom-made space inside his sleeves as it is convenient and easier to use.

And for his introduction, his response was "Orochimaru". Nothing more was needed and he won't even tell more if asked.

But Esudesu was unperturbed by it as she also used the same cold tone and words for anyone. But she was very fascinated by Orochimaru's strength and fighting style and he won her respect thus she talked more openly to him.

After that Orochimaru started training his taijutsu stances and physical conditioning. After this fight, Orochimaru found that having a combination of taijutsu specialists, chakra beast and, chakra controller is formidable.

Esudesu pouted a little but still did not stopped his training but observed it while she was resting to restore her chakra. His every move was unpredictable and very beautiful.

There were even sharp purple projectiles or sharp edges used in between from various places.

Orochimaru just got star chakra talent but he has already seen that it was a very practical talent, if not for its low level he would have used it in many ways, but still, he is integrating its usage in his taijutsu.

Orochimaru came to know that there is no chunnin exam like in anime as villages are still not in that much peace to send their people here furthermore the system has to be implemented.

Moreover, Orochimaru didn't want to become a chunnin instead he wanted to become an anbu after all he knows that he would not be able to win this talent jade easily as before.

He was able to win so many talent jades at this period because of his accumulation of early years and new achievements such as becoming an academy student, unlocking chakra, and first kill. But now he has just become a genin and it will take a long time to breathe ch chunnin level physically, so he has to farm more points slowly. He can now display chunnin level power due to the accumulation of many talents plus the speed of his taijutsu.

He wants to join anbu so he can get a high-level mission as he won't get many points from bandits and low-class danger beasts.

He has also said it to Madara sensei and his answer was straight and simple " Hn"

So he was going to apply for it when after he has enough missions in his record. As they won't even test him if he does not have a high mission record and performance.

So, now his strength will not skyrocket like before he now has to accumulate and master his talents to a high level during this time.

So, after this meetup, he would start the mission again and submit his form for anbu exams.

After some taijutsu training, Orochimaru started meditation. Although Orochimaru calls it taijutsu training but it involves the training of everything that he has learned as Orochimaru wanted to sublimate all his talents into his taijutsu style making it deadly and simple.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru also observed who has already started training, her fighting style also revolves around ice kekkai Genkai, and Orochimaru also saw that she was able to form a sword of ice without hand seals when the ring on her finger lit, which shows that it was a rare ice type senzobuki.

So following days she also joined in training and even Madara's guidance session, it looks like she recently came back from a long mission.

Although they did not talk much they are already used to each other presence and even usually spar together.

Today he was going to meet his friends in the evening so Orochimaru ended his practice a little earlier.

Confused Esudesu asked "Why are you going early today Orochi"

To answer her question Orochimaru answered "Meeting classmates"

Some will be surprised as they could talk with each other with such familiarity in such a short time. But you can say that as battle maniacs they become more friendly and familiar easily by fighting, and they respect each other strength.

Esudesu was also interested in Orochimaru's friends as from what she knows his friends also graduated with him at age of 5.

It was unheard of that so many people graduate at such young age. So also decided to come with Orochimaru to meet friends.

Orochimaru didn't think much of it and agreed and they decided to meet at the venue after dressing up.

At 5:00 PM

Orochimaru walked outside the house with black kimono with beautiful embroidery. Arriving at the meetup place he saw that most of the friends already reached.

"Haha, snake eyes you are busy nowadays that you didn't even come to meet me," Tsunade said to Orochimaru when he arrived.

Orochimaru didn't pay any attention to Tsunade's use of snake eyes and other things and just sat down and ignored her as he already used to ignore her teasing.

"Tch, can't you show little more emotions" Tsunade grumbled seeing no response from Orochimaru.

Their friends are all familiar with each other but there are already people with their own best friends or people they are most familiar with.

Like hiruzen and Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade, and surprisingly Kenpachi and duy.

While Orochimaru was waiting for the arrival of his good friend 'Barbecue', esudesu finally arrived and immediately found Orochimaru and came to our table" Orochi. Was I late"

She said to Orochimaru. At which Orochimaru answered "Hn" while nodding and continued"Very late".

At their talk everyone was stunned. It was unbelievable as she said Orochi with such familiarity. Even Orochimaru's cousin and seatmate Tsunade called him with such familiarity.

Moreover, Orochimaru didn't even refute her saying Orochi to him.

Meanwhile, Tsunade asked in an annoyed and unfriendly tone"Orochimaru! who is she"

Before Orochimaru can answer Esudesu said in her usual cold tone" Nice to meet you. My name is Esudesu, Orochi's senior sister"

After that, she sat and checked up on Orochimaru's classmate, and even though she did not get any pressure and can beat them.But she has to say that many of them were strong based on her instincts.

She became familiar with them a little but she didn't know why Hokage's granddaughter was staring at her with fighting intent. Was she craving for battle with her, if that is the case then she was really satisfied with her attitude.
