"I hope to join the rogue ninja group!"
The small words echoed in the messy laboratory, making Kimimaro's expression also change slightly.
For outsiders, becoming a subordinate of a rogue ninja was a kind of shame.
However, during this period of time, the special status of the Konoha rogue ninja, the Crimson Ashura, Uchiha Kai, in the ninja world, gave Kimimaro a kind of special honor.
If it was said that not long ago, because of his Kaguya clan identity, he was a rat crossing the street, that everyone shouted to beat.
But now, mentioning that he was someone by Uchiha Kai's side would cause chickens and dogs to fly, and a face full of awe.
This huge difference in treatment was not because of the change in his own strength.
But rather because of a name.
This was enough to interpret what was meant by a prominent reputation.
Otherwise, the one before him, who was hailed as one of the Konoha Sannin, and received the attention of the demigod Hanzō of the Salamander, an Kage-level powerhouse, would not be so polite to him.
Now that Orochimaru suddenly proposed to join the rogue ninja group under Kai's command, it made Kimimaro suddenly remember a very important thing.
He had only followed Kai when all the old members had left the team.
He was not very clear about what it meant to officially join the rogue ninja group.
If there really was a threshold, then the simplest shortcut for Kimimaro to gain the recognition of the other members was to pass the threshold of joining.
"You want to join my command?" Kai's eyebrows could not help but raise.
He was not too interested in the character of Orochimaru.
After all, in the original work, even Kishimoto had a stroke of genius, giving Orochimaru a chance to whitewash himself.
In the subsequent plot, he even became a scientist who cooperated with Konohagakure and was treated with respect by the five great ninja villages.
It could be said that he was a clear stream in the whitewashing camp.
Although, in the original work, Orochimaru had a rebellious bone, with words like "I like your body" hanging on his lips, and would suddenly attack to seize a body at any time.
But under absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were bullshit.
What's more, in Kai's subsequent plans, he would still need to use Orochimaru as a chess piece.
This kind of surrender was always better than having to search the world for this stinky snake when he needed him.
Looking at Orochimaru, who had an eager face, and those eyes that were as hot as fire, Kai really suspected the top and bottom Orochimaru's sexual orientation.
However, needing him was one thing, but the threshold to join was another.
If he had to say that there were any requirements and tests to join his command, then there was only one condition.
Take a hit!
"Boss, is it true that there are assessment conditions to join your command?" Kimimaro could not hold back either.
Feeling the eager gazes of the two, Kai helplessly rubbed his nose, saying, "Yes, the conditions are very simple, as long as you can withstand one of my attacks and not die, then you can become a member of my command."
"Withstand one of your attacks?" Orochimaru's expression suddenly changed, and the battle between Uchiha Madara and Kai that day involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Between raising his hand and moving his foot, the attack methods that shattered the heavens and the earth.
For Orochimaru, just thinking about it made his spine feel cold.
"What's wrong, it's still too late to regret it now." Kai patted Orochimaru's shoulder with a smile, saying, "Don't force yourself, otherwise, in eighteen years, you will be a good man again."
You!
Orochimaru was suddenly speechless.
However, the more he looked at Kai's calm and breezy smile, the more his heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
But, thinking of the superb scientific technology that Uchiha Kai possessed, Orochimaru could not suppress the fire in his heart.
After his gaze flickered for a moment, Orochimaru gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I am willing to accept the test."
In terms of combat power, Orochimaru admitted that he was not Kai's opponent.
But in terms of self-preservation methods, he still had some confidence.
"I am willing too." Kimimaro hurriedly echoed.
That expression was as if he was worried that he would be left behind.
Kai looked at Kimimaro with a bit of surprise, shaking his head, saying, "You are still young, you don't need to accept this kind of test."
"Forget it, do as you please!"
Looking at Kimimaro's stubborn face, Kai was too lazy to waste his breath, and took the lead to walk out of the laboratory.
Orochimaru and Kimimaro exchanged a glance, and quickly followed.
A full few minutes passed, after being far enough away from the laboratory, Orochimaru and Kimimaro followed Kai to an old ruin.
Looking at the suddenly stopped footsteps, as their hearts clenched fiercely, they directly mustered up twelve points of spirit, and became vigilant.
"Don't be alarmed, the threshold for joining that I promised is to resist one attack, I won't sneak attack you." Kai rolled his eyes helplessly, as if at the two who were startled, saying, "However, you still have a chance to withdraw now, once it really starts, then you will probably die."
As these words fell, it immediately made Orochimaru and Kimimaro's hearts skip a beat, involuntarily exchanging a glance, and then Orochimaru could not help but force a smile, licking his scarlet tongue, saying, "Isn't it just one attack, I, Orochimaru, am still one of the Konoha Sannin, I still have some confidence."
"However, brat, I know your strength is very good, and you also have a rare bloodline limit, but if you really can't hold on, you can hide behind me, I will take care of you a little."
"No need, you better take care of yourself first." Kimimaro replied coldly.
Seeing that the matter could not be negotiated, the two's gazes suddenly turned, locking onto Kai's body.
The hands hidden in their sleeves had already secretly formed hand seals.
Facing this test, their minds had clearly abandoned the idea of attacking, and thought about their strongest means of defense.
As long as Uchiha Kai made a move, they would use their strongest defensive ninjutsu, striving to be able to block this test attack.
However, as disorganized thoughts flashed through the two's minds, in the moment of holding their breath and concentrating, they met Kai's gaze, and their entire persons seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
The Uchiha Kai, who had been as ordinary and unremarkable as a boy next door, had completely restrained all of his aura in an instant.
The next moment, a ghastly white color, like a frenzy, covered a pair of pupils.
The nine tomoe, in the moment of a circle of ripples passing through, seemed to penetrate their souls.
An indescribable aura, as if high above, overlooking the world, like a god, indifferent to the world, spread out from Kai's body.
In an instant, it shook their minds, directly hitting the depths of their souls.
They had already seen Nagato's Rinnegan, at that time, in addition to curiosity, there was a feeling of strangeness.
But now, the feeling Kai gave them was like a deity.
Giving them a kind of illusion that their lives were being held in someone's hands.
Before they could react, what entered their eyes was the Uchiha Kai, whose expression was as cold as water, slowly raising his right hand.
