Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Meet Again, Suigetsu!
"If Sasuke-sama says so, I have no problem."
"Kimimaro!"
Tayuya was a bit furious. They're the ones who have been together all along, but now they suddenly have to add three more people.
It was okay for Jūgo, but they haven't even heard of the other two. Do they really have the qualifications to join them?
"Tayuya, we're just subordinates of Lord Orochimaru. We've got no business questioning this."
Kimimaro's icy tone instantly cooled Tayuya's hot-headedness. She glared angrily in Kidōmaru's direction and fell silent.
Kidōmaru:?_? What does this have to do with me?
............
"By the way, Orochimaru, give me your Kusanagi Sword."
...
Hearing this tone that sounded like an order, Orochimaru stood there stunned. This thing was clearly his. Why should he give it to Sasuke? Moreover, Sasuke's attitude was far from respectful.
"Hurry up!"
Seeing Orochimaru dawdling, Sasuke urged impatiently.
"Let's clarify one thing first. I do have the Kusanagi Sword, but it's mine. Why should I give it to you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your swordsmanship is mediocre. This sword won't be put to good use in your hands. It's better for me to use it."
!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
Bandit!
A typical bandit's logic!
"If you still don't want to give it, how about we have a swordsmanship contest starting with you? The winner gets the Kusanagi Sword."
Orochimaru: No way. This sword is originally mine! I don't need to win to keep it!
(′- へ -,)
Helplessly, under Sasuke's overwhelming pressure, he had to hand over the sword.
Sasuke took the sword and held it in his hands, examining it carefully. It still had that familiar feeling. This famous sword that had accompanied him for years always made him feel something was missing when it was not by his side. It was good that it was back now.
He gently stroked the long-lost beloved sword, drew it out of the scabbard. The cold blade emitted a faint, eerie glow, exuding a menacing killing intent.
Sasuke lovingly fastened it to his waist. Everything was as natural as a flowing stream, as if this sword was made for him.
"Let's go!"
After getting his beloved sword, Sasuke started ordering everyone around. Orochimaru found this extremely annoying. He really felt like he had lost the chicken and the rice.
"Wait a minute."
"Kimimaro?"
Sasuke turned around and was surprised to find that it was Kimimaro who had spoken. If it were someone else, Sasuke wouldn't have been surprised, but Kimimaro, who was always calm and had supported this operation, was actually stopping them.
"Sasuke-sama, Orochimaru-sama, please let me join this mission."
"Oh~ It's quite rare. You're actually interested in things outside."
"Well, even though I support you two, I still wanna see for myself if those strangers are qualified to join us."
He stood stubbornly in place, meeting Orochimaru's cold gaze without a trace of evasion. Well, it doesn't matter if there's one more.
"Then come along together."
"Wait! I'm going too!"
...
?_?
"It's not like we're kindergarten kids going on an outing. Why is everyone so gung - ho today?"
After saying that, he rubbed his temples with a headache. The situation was completely beyond his expectations. He had no idea these brats were so full of curiosity and energy.
"Look, as future members of the group, shouldn't we get to know them better?"
Hearing Tayuya spouting such nonsense, she, who always acts on her own, is the least qualified to say that.
"Fine. Whoever from Orochimaru's group wants to go can just follow."
"Ah, there's nothing else to do."
Just like this, a group of seven from the base set off in grand style, making quite a spectacle.
To Sasuke's surprise, Kabuto had also come!
This guy had been very obedient ever since Sasuke had dealt with him. Sasuke wondered what was going through his mind when he decided to join this mission.
.............
"The base where Suigetsu is located is up ahead."
The gate was exactly the same as in his past life, but this time, Sasuke had six "tails" following him.
When the guards at the base saw Orochimaru, they hurriedly opened the gate and rushed forward to report on relevant work matters.
Just like this, the group walked slowly through the base, bored to death. It was dark and damp, and even the walls were a bit wet.
A drop of water gathered on the ceiling, then, unable to bear its own weight, fell onto Tayuya's face.
"Ugh, so disgusting. Why is it so humid here? Can't someone wipe it?"
"What? That's strange. The base's hygiene has always been maintained to strict standards. Maybe it's due to the damp weather today or a leaking pipe somewhere. Please rest assured, my lord. I'll go back and check carefully."
"Humph! Just remember that."
Damp weather or a leaking pipe?
He had never heard of such things in his past life. Moreover, the walls were wet in a very strange way, dripping continuously.
In that case, he'd give it a try.
Thinking this, Sasuke took action. He reached behind his back, grasped the handle of the Kusanagi Sword with one hand, and drew it out gracefully. The sharp blade slid down quickly from top to bottom, clearly a peerless sword.
"Did you feel it?"
"Yes, Sasuke - sama. Although it's very faint, there's Chakra flowing nearby."
The two who have learned the Sage Art have a perception ability that others can't match. Maybe Orochimaru knew about this situation, yet instead of getting involved, he left it to these young people.
Sasuke held the sword in a reverse grip and stabbed the sharp blade into the ground, but nothing strange happened. Kimimaro couldn't help but frown in confusion.
"Did I overthink it?"
"No! Your guess is right!"
Sasuke glanced at the wet wall again and curled his lips into a sneering smile. Since the other side came up with such a dumb escape plan, don't blame him for being rough - handed.
"Chidori Current"
Powerful and gorgeous blue electric currents were released through the Kusanagi Sword towards the surrounding walls in the narrow and damp corridor.
Water conducts electricity. The thunderous light covered the damp area almost instantly, and a shrill and miserable scream echoed throughout the base.
As Sasuke twisted the hilt of the sword, the output of chakra also increased. A foul scorching smell emanated from the person being bombarded by the electric current.
The damp liquid on the ground, corridor, and walls was condensing into a human - shaped figure at a visible speed.
With everyone wearing surprised expressions, Sasuke stepped forward and showed an impolite smile.
"Suigetsu, we meet again!"
