Chapter 63 - 57 (1/2)

Two shadows silently ran towards a certain room in the dark hallways that is only slightly lit by the torches placed on the walls.

Hikaru made a clone to deliver Tayuya to a certain place somewhere in the forest that only he knew where. She would only be a nuisance here, after all.

Hikaru made his way towards a certain room while the dark figure right beside him hid somewhere.

The room had no door, only a hole that's the size of a person.

Inside that room was Orochimaru, he was sleeping yet Hikaru can feel that he hasn't let go of his guard yet. One wrong step and he'll awaken him but that's not really a problem any longer. There's a much bigger thing he wants to do right now.

He walked towards the middle of the room with footsteps loud enough for a trained ninja to hear. Orochimaru immediately opened his eyes and yelled while he got up, ”DId I not say not to disturb me!?”

Hikaru, with an apathetic look on his face, took out a spear from his inventory box and threw it at Orochimaru's shoulder, pinning him onto the wall.

It was so fast that Orochimaru had no time to dodge, and his reflexes were not fast enough to catch a thing like that.

The wall behind was pierced by the spear that Hikaru threw with his shoulder also stuck on the wall. He screamed in pain as he tried to pull the spear out from his shoulder, but Hikaru gave him no time and appeared in front of him standing on top of the bed as he punched him in the stomach and held his neck tightly, immobilizing him even further.

Hikaru leaned a little closer and said to Orochimaru as he smiled as if he hadn't seen a longtime friend, ”Hey, how are you doing? I wanted to stick a literal stick up your ass but that would be quite disgusting. You have to consider the feeling of this spear, after all.”

”Who,,,the... hell are... you!? Gah!” The snake barely wheezed out as Hikaru held his neck quite tightly.

”Who? Me?” Hikaru looked around and pointed at himself.

It seems to pissed Orochimaru even further.

”I'm just joking, don't look at me like that. Don't bring me to your pedo fantasies, 'kay?” Hikaru said as he winked at him playfully, which served to pissed the already pissed snake even further.

”You…worthless...mongrel!!” Orochimaru hissed.

”Oh wait, you couldn't breath because I'm strangling you with this hand of mine. But you have to understand, I don't want to see another you coming out of your mouth, that would be pretty disgusting.” Hikaru said.

Then, Orochimaru opened his mouth and Hikaru got confused as to why he would do that, only for a sword to come out of the snake's mouth. Hikaru saw that and did nothing, as when the sword reached his face, it only made sparks as if it was hitting a very hard object.

The sannin widened his eyes in shock when he saw his sword didn't pierced the kid in front of him.

Hikaru is wearing armor that's been reinforced with titanite to +10, and coupled with his steel hard skin, he's basically immune to physical attacks and some jutsus. The dark mask was covering his head, but even without that, the Kusinagi sword still wouldn't pierce even the outer layer of his skin.

”That wasn't nice, you know? Heh, no matte-”

He was interrupted when Orochimaru used his substitution jutsu, and another him came out FROM his stomach. That one was fast enough to slither towards the door like a snake, yet Hikaru was still faster than him.

Taking out a random long sword from his inventory box, he appeared in front of the snake instantly and cut all of his limbs.

”Raaahh! You bastard! I'll kill you!” Orochimaru hissed.

This time, Hikaru replied no longer joking around, ”With what army? Face it, you're going to die. At least die a little bit graceful.” He thought about it for a little moment and said ”No, a snake like you shouldn't deserve that kind of respect from someone like me.”

Orochimaru smirked and snakes grew out from the parts where he lost his limbs. All of them attacked Hikaru but they all just burned to ashes when the Undead used his pyromancy. It was different from any other flames, it was redder than normal yet Orochimaru could feel the heat of it. The flame was melting his body even though he was quite away from it.

”Be honored, snake, for you were able to see the chaos flame in action before your eventual death. But before you die, tell me what do you think about Kimimaro?” Hikaru said.
