Chapter 332 \n<h1>Chapter 332: The Ladder of Human Progress</h1>\n
âThis Arhat Fist is really extraordinary.â Masahiko rubbed his stomach.
Masahiko thought that Arhat Fist is quite interesting. Jirobo actually covers his fist with Chakra, and the power of his punches far exceeds the strength that a boy of his age should have. It seems a bit like a weakened version of Tsunadeâs brutal force.
The flute sounded melodious, interrupting Masahikoâs deep thoughts.
Jirobo rolled to the distance, and Tayuya that got really vigilant, hurriedly played the flute in her hands. The melody didnât sound aggressive, and she used it to call her companions. After half a minute, dozens of Otogakureâs ninjas surrounded them.
âOtojutsu, a trick made by Orochimaru.â Masahiko shook his head slightly, âSomething I can do too.â(T/N: Otojutsu: Sound Jutsu.)
Masahiko waved his hand to add a defensive barrier around Kimimaro and the others, turned to Otogakureâ ninjas, who were approaching, and smiled, âYou friend there tried my Buddhaâs finger, and you guys gonna try my Lion Roar.â
Suddenly Chakra was poured into his throat, then he screamed at the top of his lungs, âOROCHIMARU, COME OUT AND SEE ME!â
The world fell into the silence.
Two minutes later, Orochimaru appeared in front of Masahiko.
He glanced helplessly at the village that had just been built and became dilapidated, and then at the ninjas who were still stunned, âElder, what are you doing here?â
Masahiko waved his hand and lifted the defensive barrier on the three, âThereâs something I need you to do, which is related to this child.â
Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro, stretched out his tongue, and licked his lips, âOh, itâs that child from the Kaguya Clan.â\n
Karin shuddered, then whispered, âThis guy is such a creep. Can he really cure Kimimaro?â
Masahiko turned his head, âHis hearing isnât worse than mine. If he feels like it, he might kidnap you for research purposes, Karin.â
âI will never dare. Elder, please come with me.â Orochimaru licked his kips again and cast a sideways glance at Karin.
Karinâs face turned pale.
âŚ.
On the other side of Otogakure, Masahiko and Orochimaru walked into his underground lab side by side. Behind them, Karin, Haku, and Kimimaro followed.
The group walked through a long corridor. On both stone walls of the corridor, there were murals. These drawings told a mythical story of a warrior holding a divine sword and beheading an eight-headed snake.
âYamata-no-Orochi?â Masahiko was startled.(T/N: Yamata-no-Orochi: was an extremely immense snake (Orochi is ancient Japanese for âgreat snakeâ) that had eight heads and eight tails.)
Orochimaru turned his head and explained, âElder, this is an unexpected gain when I was looking for a certain sword. Itâs a very interesting mural.â
Masahiko couldnât laugh or cry, âYouâre taking a bite of your own flesh, Orochimaru.â
After walking all the way through, they were in front of the lab.
Masahiko suddenly remembered something, so he turned, âHaku, you can wait for us here, donât go in.â
After thinking for a while, he added, âKarin, you wait here too with Haku.â\nâIn such a dark place?â Karinâs face turned paler.
Masahiko picked up Kimimaro on his back, âWhat are you afraid of? Thereâs a boy next to you to protect you.â
Karin quietly curled her lips, and Haku nodded seriously.
âElder, your heart has softened.â Orochimaru seemed to point.
Masahiko smiled indifferently, âTheyâre still young, and theyâre all good children.â
Orochimaru didnât say anything back and walked straight forward, then pushed the heavy gate of the lab, and the smell of blood rushed over.
Masahiko frowned and waved away the smell, âOrochimaru, canât you open the windows sometime? Or do you really like the smell?â
âElder, I thought you wouldnât mind the smell of blood since you lived in the Warring States Period.â
âFamiliarity doesnât mean likability, let alone thereâs a child here.â Masahiko shook Kimimaro on his back a bit.
Kimimaro was lying there, completely dizzy and almost unconscious, and didnât even make any reaction, which made Masahikoâs mouth twitch.
âKirigakureâs children are stronger than you think.â
Orochimaru walked a few steps forward, found a test tube, then walked back, âI will need some of this kidâs blood.â
Masahiko sighed slightly. It was for this reason that he didnât come to Orochimaru at first, âI will give it to you. But itâs not allowed to be used for other purposes.â\n\nâFirm faith? You mean his faith in me?â Masahiko smiled bitterly, âThen I, God, canât make him become inhuman.â
Masahiko was silent for a moment and suddenly remembered another incident, âBy the way, why did you kill Danzo?â
Orochimaru was startled, âElder, I havenât seen him for a long time.â
âElder, which method are you going to use? Or are you going to ask Tsunade to help?â Orochimaru didnât care about Danzo at all.â
âNah, Tsunade wonât work either.â Masahiko shook his head, âI will treat him.â
âOrochimaru, you put the research result on cells, blood, as well as medical ninjutsu⌠Forget it, give me a copy of all the collections, and I will give you a satisfactory reward!â
It was about time, whether he likes it or not, he had to read, learn, and activate his medical skills, so he can stop being a quack doctor!
âŚâŚ.
April 17, Masahiko: âBooks are the ladder of human progress.â
April 18, Masahiko: âHardships leads to success. Life is meant to take challenges.â
April 19, Masahiko: âKimimaro, donât worry, just a few more books.â
April 20, Masahiko looked at the hundreds of books left in the house, âDamn it, why is Orochimaruâs collection so rich?â
April 21, Masahiko: âWhy donât you activate the skill already, you stupid system!â
