Then, Mitarashi Anko retracted her Shadow Snake Claw and quickly ran in front of Orochimaru. She pressed Orochimaru's right palm with her left hand, and used the Kunai in her right hand to stab the back of Orochimaru's left hand.
The sharp tip of the Kunai instantly pierced the back of Mitarashi Anko's hand, pierced through Orochimaru's palm, and pierced into the trunk behind his palm. A stream of blood immediately came out from the place where the Kunai was stabbed, and flowed down the back of Mitarashi Anko's hand.
"Caught you, Orochimaru, let me borrow your left hand." Mitarashi Anko looked at Orochimaru with a smile on her face, and at the same time, she inserted the fingers of her right hand into Orochimaru's left hand and made a hand seal.
"This hand seal is …" Seeing the hand seal made by Mitarashi Anko, Orochimaru's eyes moved slightly, and he said.
"Yes, you're going to die here with me." Mitarashi Anko said softly with a smile on her face, as if dying together with Orochimaru was something she dreamed of, without the slightest fear or fluctuation.
But just as Mitarashi Anko was about to launch a Ninjutsu, Sei Itō, who had been ignored by her and Orochimaru, suddenly came to her side and destroyed the Ninjutsu Seal.
"Anko, are you going to die together with a pile of mud?" Sei Itō stretched out his hand and pulled out the Kunai that was nailed to the back of Mitarashi Anko's hand, and turned his head to look behind Mitarashi Anko, and said softly.
"Oh, you actually noticed, it seems that you're not an ordinary Konoha Ninja." Orochimaru, who suddenly appeared, stretched out his hand and pulled off the skin on his face, revealing his intact, but strangely pale face, and said to Sei Itō.
"Well ~ Compared to you, I'm just a small character." Sei Itō shrugged and said.
"But disturbing me and my beloved subordinate like this can't be forgiven." Orochimaru looked at Sei Itō with a smirk on his face and said.
"Sei Itō, run, you're not his opponent." Mitarashi Anko immediately shouted at Sei Itō, who was standing in front of her.
"Oh? It seems that this person is someone you cherish, Anko. "Orochimaru looked at Mitarashi Anko with interest.
"What are you doing back here?" Mitarashi Anko, who didn't know how to respond to Orochimaru's words, changed the topic and asked Orochimaru coldly.
"We haven't seen each other for so long, but your attitude is still so cold." Orochimaru also didn't entangle the problem with Sei Itō, but instead spoke to Mitarashi Anko in a reminiscing tone.
"Could it be that you're here to assassinate Hokage-sama?" Anko Mitarashi asked.
"No. That's not enough for you to be my subordinate. I just want to find outstanding talents here. " Orochimaru shook his head slightly and said, "I just gave the same seal to another person. I really want that child."
"You still like to mess around." Mitarashi Anko touched the strange black mark on her neck and said softly, "He will die here."
"Indeed, he only has a one in ten chance of surviving. But it's also very likely that he will survive like you. "Orochimaru turned his head and looked at the faint moonlight in the sky.
"It seems that you like that child very much." Mitarashi Anko looked at Orochimaru. She said sarcastically.
"Are you jealous of him? It seems that you resent me for abandoning you." Orochimaru retracted his gaze and looked at Mitarashi Anko again, saying, "He's different from you. He's a very good child. He inherited the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, and he's also very beautiful. He's very suitable to be my successor. "
Sei Itō, who had been playing the role of a bystander, trembled for no reason after hearing Orochimaru's words. He looked at Orochimaru with a strange expression, combining the image of Orochimaru with that old guy Wu Yazi. Then, the images of some doujinshi books he had seen online instantly appeared in his mind, a bunch of mosaics.
"If he survives, then it'll be interesting. You must not stop the exam." Although Orochimaru didn't know why Sei Itō was looking at him so strangely, he wasn't prepared to pay attention to the thoughts of a bystander, so he continued talking to Mitarashi Anko. Then, he turned around and walked back to the tree trunk, saying, "I also have three subordinates who participated in the exam. Let's enjoy ourselves."
Then, halfway through, Orochimaru's figure suddenly disappeared. Leaving only one sentence echoing in the night sky, "If you dare to mess with my mood, then Konoha is finished."
After a while, Mitarashi Anko turned to Sei Itō and asked, "Sei Itō, later when Hokage asks, can you hide part of the conversation between me and Orochimaru?"
"About Uchiha Sasuke?" Sei Itō turned around. He reached out and grabbed Mitarashi Anko's injured left hand, and said while healing it with Senjutsu.
"En." Mitarashi Anko responded, and then said, "That guy always keeps his word. If we mess with his mood, then Konoha … "
"I know." Sei Itō agreed.
"En. Thank you, Sei Itō. "Mitarashi Anko thanked him seriously.
"Remember what I said at the Practice Field's gate? There's no need to be so polite between us." Sei Itō raised his head and looked at Mitarashi Anko with a smile.
"En." Mitarashi Anko responded softly.
After a while, the wound on Mitarashi Anko's hand was healed, but Sei Itō didn't stop there. Instead, he took a step forward and leaned in front of Mitarashi Anko, tilting his head to look at the pattern of three black commas on her neck.
"Is this the thing that Orochimaru was talking about?" Sei Itō asked.
"Eh, yes." Mitarashi Anko raised her hand and touched the curse symbol lightly, and said softly.
"It's very strange …" Sei Itō slowly released his Spiritual Power, surrounding the curse symbol to sense it, and said after a while, "What an evil power fluctuation, and it also contains a strange Spiritual Power, which seems to be able to affect a person's mind."
"You can sense it?" Mitarashi Anko asked in surprise.
"Yes, why?" Sei Itō asked curiously.
"Because no one has ever been able to sense the curse symbol like you." Mitarashi Anko explained.
"Then how did you deal with it in the first place?" Sei Itō asked curiously.
"Hokage-sama used the Evil Sealing Seal on me." Mitarashi Anko said.
"That's also a method that doesn't affect your own Spiritual Will and the use of power, and can also seal the strange Spiritual Power contained in this thing." Sei Itō nodded and said.
"Well, let's go back." Mitarashi Anko said to Sei Itō as she lightly pulled the lapel of her trench coat.
"Okay." Sei Itō agreed.
Then the two jumped up and walked in the direction of the Central Tower. Because of Sei Itō's participation, Orochimaru didn't activate the curse symbol to consume Mitarashi Anko's Chakra and physical strength as in the original plot. Naturally, Mitarashi Anko wouldn't be exhausted and be bullied by the three tigers, so it didn't take long for the two to reach the Central Tower.
At this time, Sandaime was still in the Hokage's office building in Konoha. As the supervisor of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko had the right to decide whether the exam should continue or not. However, with the threat of Orochimaru's departure, even if Mitarashi Anko already knew that Orochimaru had come to Konoha, she could only endure and let the exam continue as normal, and then wait for Sandaime to arrive and report to him.
Four days later, on the last day of the second exam, Sandaime finally came to the Central Tower and summoned Mitarashi Anko as the person in charge of the exam.
During this time, Mitarashi Anko briefly reported her encounter with Orochimaru to Sarutobi, but Sandaime, who had already learned about Uchiha Sasuke's abnormal situation from other sources, immediately guessed one of the purposes of Orochimaru's trip from Mitarashi Anko's report, and decided to continue the exam.
"Let's go." On the other side, Sei Itō, who was with Kurenai, Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Mike Kai, Morina Ibi, and other ninjas, said to Kurenai after receiving the notice from the exam staff.
Then everyone lined up one by one and walked out of the lounge one by one, following the work ninja who led the way to the hall below. Then the Jonin like Kurenai and Kakashi went straight to the stone seal and stood directly under it, looking at the three rows of Genin opposite them.
The others, including Sei Itō, spontaneously lined up in two diagonal lines, standing between the horizontal line formed by the Jonins and the line formed by the Genin, leaving the center empty.
After that, Sandaime, who was wearing an Imperial Robe and a hat, accompanied by Mitarashi Anko and two staff members, came to the hall and stood in the most central area.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the second exam." Mitarashi Anko loudly announced to the candidates: "Next, Hokage-Sama will explain the third exam, everyone should pay attention to it."
"Then, Hokage-Sama, please." After shouting to the students, Anko whispered to Sandaime.
Immediately, Sarutobi took two steps forward, after a slight cough, he began to explain the specific rules and forms of the third exam to the candidates in front of him.
"Next is the third exam, before explaining it, I want to tell you one thing clearly about the real purpose of this exam." Sandaime stated with a serious expression: "Why do the allies have to hold an exam together? I hope you don't misunderstand the real meaning of this exam, this exam is …"
Speaking of this, Sandaime raised his hand and took off the pipe in his mouth, gently exhaling the smoke: "It's a miniature version of the war between the allies."
