"Alright, from today onwards you are my sister, Yi Shuihan's sister. I will protect you from now on, and no one, no matter who it is, will be able to hurt you or let you suffer any harm."
This is going to be a process of raising a little girl! Well, I'm innocent, I just want to take in a little sister.
The plot of becoming a disciple but being taken in as a sister instead—a scenario that doesn't even exist in Chinese—is happening right before their eyes, making Ino and the others feel more and more like they're dreaming.
"That's wonderful! I want to be his sister too." Sakura looked at Hinata, who was being held in Yi Shuihan's arms, and suddenly felt very envious.
"To celebrate the arrival of my new little sister, I'll treat everyone to a meal today!"
Yi Shuihan announced loudly, while simultaneously giving Hinata a gentle head pat in his arms.
Lolis have three good qualities: soft voice, supple body, and easy...
Uh, something seems out of place.
In short, today is destined to be an unusual day.
Chapter 388, Orochimaru has researched something?
Yi Shuihan's adoption of Hinata Hyuga, the daughter of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, as his sworn sister caused quite a stir in Konoha, especially since Yi Shuihan had just killed Danzo not long ago.
Originally, because Itachi Uchiha became Yi Shuihan's disciple, the situation in which the Uchiha clan was suppressing the Hyuga clan was instantly reversed, and the two clans returned to the same starting line.
Of course, this is only on the surface. In reality, the Uchiha clan's strength is undoubtedly superior to that of the Hyuga clan. Uchiha Itachi has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the Hyuga clan has to be cautious when dealing with him alone.
"I don't know what good fortune the Uchiha and Hyuga clans have recently had, but they have both made contact with that person one after another."
"Who told them to have one such good son and the other such a good daughter!"
"These two families are about to rise to power! Even the Hokage lineage probably won't be able to suppress them."
Since taking Hinata as his younger sister, Yi Shuihan has recently encountered many people coming to his door asking to become his apprentices or throwing themselves at him.
The age range is also extremely wide, ranging from 3 or 4 years old to 30 years old. It can be said that Yi Shuihan will encounter all kinds of accidents whenever he goes out.
While others stage accidents to extort money, Yi Shuihan targets women—little lolis, mature women, innocent girls, charming girls, shy girls—a constant stream of unexpected encounters, as if he wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
These families went to great lengths to associate themselves with Yi Shuihan, and because Yi Shuihan did not immediately appear, they thought they had found the right direction and became even more focused on it.
At first, Yi Shuihan took it all in stride, since these girls were all pretty and it was pleasing to the eye to tease them. However, he started to get impatient after running into them every time he went out.
In the end, it was Tsunade who was asked to issue warnings to the main families. After more than a month of reflection, the turmoil finally subsided.
Another year has passed.
The 12 Konoha Genin have finally graduated. Well, compared to the original story, they graduated two years earlier. They were 10 years old that year, but despite their young age, they were all quite strong. At least they were Chunin level, and the most powerful ones were Jonin.
Also in that year, Yi Shuihan's mission to develop martial arts came to an end. In terms of strength, he was already able to rival ninjas. All he lacked was an opportunity to prove himself, for which Yi Shuihan had put in a lot of effort.
In one year, he taught dozens of students to the Core Formation stage and over a hundred to the Transformation stage. Yi Shuihan was very diligent in order to complete the mission. It was thanks to his spatial abilities that he was able to keep running around the continent, otherwise he would have been exhausted.
"You mean Orochimaru wants to see me?"
Yi Shuihan looked at the bespectacled boy in front of him with considerable surprise. Speaking of which, Orochimaru hadn't shown his face for nearly ten years since he obtained his dragon blood, making him forget for a moment that such a person even existed.
"Yes, I was sent by Lord Orochimaru to guide you. Lord Orochimaru originally wanted to come and see you, but he was simply too busy." Kabuto said respectfully. Yi Shuihan was a powerful being whom even his boss, Orochimaru, was very wary of, so he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
"You've come to see me at this hour, have you discovered something new?"
Yi Shuihan couldn't help but think this way, and once he thought of it, he had the idea of going to take a look. As for whether there was any conspiracy or anything like that, he didn't consider it at all. Even if there was, so what? In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers.
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
Seeing that Yi Shuihan agreed, Dou also smiled, his mission was almost complete.
"I wonder when we can set off?"
"Can we go now and come back as soon as possible? I need to be back for dinner tonight!"
"But sir, the research institute is no longer in the Fire Country. Even at the fastest speed, we can't get back today."
Dou was completely dumbfounded when Yi Shuihan said he would be back for dinner that night, having no idea what Yi Shuihan was thinking.
“Your speed is naturally not good enough, but mine is perfectly fine. Just point out the exact location to me, and then do as I say.”
As Yi Shuihan spoke, he took out a map. This map was different from ordinary maps; it was extremely precise, encompassing almost the entire Ninja World Continent, and even marking the smallest villages. It could be said to be the most detailed and accurate map in the world.
Upon seeing the map that Yi Shuihan had taken out, Dou could not hide his shock. As Orochimaru's assistant, he was quite intelligent and could see a lot from this map.
To obtain such a map would require an enormous amount of manpower and resources, down to the village level, and even more so to almost the entire continent. Even if all the ninjas of Konoha were mobilized, it would probably take several years to obtain this map, and it would be impossible to do so quietly.
Logically speaking, such a map shouldn't exist in this world, but Yi Shuihan has taken it out. What does this mean? It means that there must be a powerful force supporting Yi Shuihan that spans the entire continent, and this force is very secretive. At least, he doesn't know the origin of this force.
How ambitious is he to create such a map? Does he want to rule the ninja world?
It has to be said that Kabuto was completely overthinking things. If Yi Shuihan had any ambition to rule the ninja world, he would have done it long ago. Why would he need to do it now?
This map was actually drawn by Yi Shuihan all by himself. With his spatial abilities and his own flying speed, he could basically travel all over the Ninja World in a day. The map was just something he drew to pass the time.
"Don't just stand there, where exactly is it located?"
Yi Shuihan was unaware of Dou's other thoughts, assuming that the other party was simply shocked by seeing such a detailed map for the first time.
Coming to his senses, he quickly searched on the map and pointed out a location a moment later.
"The Land of Rain?"
Is Orochimaru still in Akatsuki? Since Itachi didn't join Akatsuki, Orochimaru wouldn't be forced to leave. It's quite possible!
But what does that have to do with me?
"Are you sure this is the place? If not, let's set off."
Yi Shuihan gripped Dou's shoulder with one hand and said that he planned to teleport directly there.
Chapter 389, Xiao wants to see Yi Shuihan
Even though he knew he was sure he wouldn't make a mistake, Dou still checked it once more. Yi Shuihan was putting a lot of pressure on him, making him dare not be careless in the slightest.
"That's right, that's it."
Yi Shuihan nodded slightly. "You might feel a little uncomfortable later, so be prepared."
Before Dou could even finish speaking and think about what preparations were needed, everything went black, and a dizzying sensation made him feel nauseous.
Feeling top-heavy and lightheaded, as if his entire body had lost its mass, a feeling that even a ninja like Kabuto couldn't resist, it was already a miracle he didn't faint.
Time passed, and I don't know how many breaths had gone by; time seemed to have become blurred and imperceptible.
"arrive!"
"……vomit……"
Upon feeling his body again, Dou didn't have time to react before he vomited.
"Young people these days! They're so weak, they're failing so quickly."
Yi Shuihan kept a distance, not wanting to get tainted by anything unclean.
Dou, who was vomiting, heard Yi Shuihan's words and cursed Yi Shuihan in his heart while vomiting.
What do you mean by physical weakness? Don't even mention me, even Lord Orochimaru would have the same reaction!
It took Dou a while to recover. When he looked up, the familiar scenery surprised him. The research institute was only about 100 meters away.
Is this space-time ninjutsu? It's amazing.
Kabuto's eyes gleamed with intense interest. As Orochimaru's assistant, he had developed some of the habits of a scientist, and he would want to study any special ninjutsu he saw. However, he dared not bring up Yi Shuihan, even if he wanted to.
"Are you done? If you are, lead the way."
"plz follow me."
Dou led the way, guiding Yi Shuihan through a maze of paths until they reached a cave. The maze was made because there were many warning traps around, which could be triggered if one was not careful.
The hollowed-out mountain interior was surprisingly bright, with all sorts of facilities, making it look almost exactly like a modern research institute. However, it would have been even better if there had been less of the smell of blood and fewer strange corpses.
When Yi Shuihan met Orochimaru, Orochimaru was standing outside a metal cage. Inside the cage was a 2-meter-thick python, or rather, a serpent that had evolved into a dragon, because it had two fleshy horns on its head.
Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Orochimaru nodded and then took out a test tube containing a bluish liquid, the purpose of which was unknown.
When Orochimaru took out the test tube and walked into the cage, the previously quiet serpent instantly became active, its head constantly moving in and out, its eyes fixed on the test tube as if it were extremely eager.
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you right away."
A magnetic voice rang out from Orochimaru's mouth, his face filled with fanaticism, and his eyes showed a rare expression of anticipation.
"What are you doing?"
Just as Yi Shuihan was wondering, Orochimaru threw the test tube in, and the upper body of the serpent turned into a blur, opening its mouth to bite.
It even swallowed the test tube directly into its body.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, and finally, in the fourth second, something changed.
As if subjected to extremely intense stimulation, the serpent writhed and rolled inside the cage, repeatedly banging its head against the cage.
Boom, boom, boom...
"Runaway?"
Seeing that Orochimaru made no move and instead had an expression of expectation on his face, Yi Shuihan had no choice but to patiently continue watching.
Yi Shuihan quickly discovered the mystery: as the serpent continued to strike, the fleshy growth on his head gradually grew larger, as if something was about to emerge. Moreover, its aura did not weaken but instead increased at an extremely rapid pace.
In a short moment, his aura became twice as strong, and the rate of increase was still accelerating.
10 minutes later,
The aura of the serpent had grown to an extremely terrifying level, judging from its aura alone, it was close to the level of a shadow-level being. However, it seemed to have reached a bottleneck at this level and would no longer increase.
"Are you going to fail?"
The impact had stopped, but the serpent's aura seemed to be about to collapse.
Orochimaru's expression also turned somewhat ugly at this moment, and he said with some reluctance, "Come on! Baby, just one more step and you'll succeed."
Seemingly having heard Orochimaru's words, the serpent moved again, slamming violently into the ground.
bang
The "snap" sound was so crisp that a pair of small antlers, which looked like deer antlers, completely broke through the two fleshy tumors of the dragon. The blue antlers looked beautiful.
"Success!"
"Hahahaha, finally, finally..."
With the birth of the new horn, it seemed as if some kind of boundary had been broken. The previously stagnant aura of the Flood Dragon surged again, entering the realm of Shadow level without any pause, and it continued to strengthen.
Interesting, is this all he has achieved?
"It's been so many years, Yi Shuihan!"
Orochimaru looked at Yi Shuihan as if he were greeting an old friend, appearing extremely friendly. However, since he was the aloof type, this friendly expression gave people a sense of disharmony.
"It hasn't been that long, and you haven't changed at all!"
"Thanks to you."
Orochimaru was almost unchanged from ten years ago; his body was still the same. Yi Shuihan knew that he had used some dragon blood and that he probably hadn't researched reincarnation techniques.
"Let's talk somewhere else!"
Following Orochimaru, they arrived at a room that resembled a living room. Orochimaru dismissed Kabuto, leaving only him and Yi Shuihan behind.
The room was furnished with great taste, as if it were the reception room of a large family.
"Speak, what brings you here today? Is it that dragon blood can now be replicated?"
Orochimaru's expression was somewhat awkward when Yi Shuihan asked him, which made Yi Shuihan instantly understand that the dragon blood copying had failed, and he was slightly disappointed.
"Give me a little more time and I'll definitely succeed. The reason I called you here is actually because of something else."
"Other things?"
"I've joined an organization called Akatsuki, and the leader of the organization wants to meet you."
Is it Nagato Uzumaki who wants to see me? Or is it Obito Uchiha who wants to see me?
Chapter 390, Your surname is Otsutsuki?
"Is that the reason?"
Yi Shuihan's expression was slightly unpleasant. He was dissatisfied that Orochimaru had not only failed to produce any research results, but had instead used this method to make him meet with the Akatsuki members.
"Of course, it's not just that." Noticing Yi Shuihan's expression, Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I haven't succeeded in copying the dragon blood yet, but I haven't gained nothing. You saw what happened before, right? That was a kind of achievement."
"It can make snake-type summoned beasts evolve. I call that substance Dragon Liquid. By adding some human blood, you can control summoned beasts that have evolved with Dragon Liquid."
