Chapter 22: Orochimaru’s Awakening Progress: 10% (1/2)

Wakaho felt like he had opened Pandora's Box.

And he had evidence.

Orochimaru first brought him to the training ground.

"Wakaho-kun, observe with your Sharingan."

Orochimaru performed the hand seals in slow motion, but did not complete the technique or specify what jutsu it was.

Yet the system responded.

[Ninjutsu Type: C-rank Wind Style: Wind Cutter.]

[Triggering "Blazing Flame Child" effect, you can learn all Ninjutsu. The activated jutsu will be replaced by flame.]

[Successfully learned Ninjutsu: Fire Style: Wind Cutter.]

A simple Wind Style jutsu.

Wakaho knew that Orochimaru was starting to observe his "everything is Fire Style" talent.

Anyone who has been to school knows:

First observe, then study, compare multiple aspects, and experiment repeatedly.

This is just the most basic quest for knowledge for a scientist, right?

Wakaho naturally welcomed this.

He didn't even want to hide his buff that allowed him to instantly learn jutsu!

As the heir of the Will of Fire, the future Uchiha Clan Leader, and the head of Konoha's Security Force, it would be unacceptable not to have some talent.

Swish, swish, swish!

Instead of spitting out the fire like other Fire Styles, several blazing flame blades appeared out of thin air, cutting through the air in front of him with high temperatures!

Wind Style: Wind Cutter → Fire Style: Flame Blades!

Orochimaru did not hide himself either.

He thoughtfully took out a notebook, quickly recorded, then pursed his lips and demonstrated a new set of hand seals to Wakaho.

However, this set of seals was a bit more complex, and Orochimaru only demonstrated without using the technique.

"This technique might require a bit of chakra."

"If you can't learn it, don't force yourself."

"Okay, Sensei!" Wakaho was very enthusiastic!

Fugaku had said similar things, and had demonstrated all his Fire Style techniques.

Orochimaru, the cold-hearted master, was also a teacher of ninjutsu.

Even though this period was not a time of complete mastery and was filled with snake techniques, it should still be enough for a while, right?

[Ninjutsu Type: B-rank Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet.]

[Triggering "Blazing Flame Child" effect, you can learn all Ninjutsu. The activated jutsu will be replaced by flame.]

[Successfully learned Ninjutsu: B-rank Fire Style: Water Dragon Bullet.]

Wakaho was a bit excited to try out the technique with twenty or so seals.

Using Fire Style for Water Style—what would be the result?

Swish——!

The air became incredibly hot, and a massive fire dragon appeared out of thin air!

It didn't attack any targets but circled around Wakaho, creating a spectacular scene!

Though the temperature seemed a bit high...

Wakaho felt a bit disheartened; the Water Dragon Bullet had indeed become the Fire Dragon Bullet, but it seemed he couldn't freely soar on the fire dragon like Mei Terumi?

On the other side, Orochimaru looked even more peculiar as he quickly recorded in his notebook once again.

After finishing the recording, Orochimaru did not rush to teach another jutsu but instead took out a shuriken.

"Wakaho-kun, I will now teach you a very practical jutsu."

"It will greatly enhance your Will of Fire..."

"... Okay." Wakaho also wanted to take out his notebook to record this.

[Orochimaru's Awakening Progress: 10%.]

He was starting to feel like he was getting closer to the sneaky snake he remembered...

"Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!"

Orochimaru shouted this time, and the shurikens he threw instantly multiplied, forming a curtain of shurikens!

Just like learning Shadow Clone Jutsu before.

Since it was not a Ninjutsu, it didn't trigger the "Blazing Flame Child" learning buff.

This time, the system did not pop up any hints.
