Orochimaru also alarmed by these three sudden display of their powers. He looked at them for 20 seconds, deciding whether to fight or not.
Kisho, naruto, and Sasuke also waited for him to decide, as this will only help them with more time for reinforcements. Kisho on the other side looked at orochimaru and he wants to ask a question to orochimaru, which has been pestering him from even his previous life.
He couldn't take it anymore and looked at orochimaru with a curious look and asked,
"Orochimaru sama, I have a doubt that has been pestering me for who knows how long. Can you please be a big heart and clarify this juniors question."
Kisho asked with great interest. On the side, Naruto and Sasuke looked at kisho with admiring gazes, as they thought that kisho is just delaying this fight even more. So that reinforcements will get more time for moving. Orochimaru also thought the same thing, but he knew that even if they start fighting right now, kisho himself can fight against him without much problem. Not to say, Naruto and Sasuke are also there to deal with.
Since this trip is going to go waste anyhow. He decided to know what doubt kisho got, that only he can clear.
"Kisho kun!! Looks like you got a question, that these dumb villagers can't solve huh? Throw me whatever question you have, I will try to solve it. If I can't solve it, I will do more research on it and will let you know, after I find a solution."
Orochimaru said with much confidence, as what he mainly does is gaining knowledge. He looked at kisho with anticipation on his snake-like eyes.
"Ah!! Orochimaru sama, it isn't much of a difficult question.....I just want to confirm...whether you have one or two, as you are almost a snake now?"
Sasuke and naruto who are the only ones that close to him first got confused by kisho's question. But soon they stumbled to the ground. A long-distance away, Shikamaru,ino, and sakura looked at the stumbled duo, couldn't help but frown as they didn't know what's happening.
Orochimaru also first felt that this question is a bit du.....but soon he felt it was interesting. He looked at kisho with a smile on his face and said,
"You got quite interesting question kisho kun. As I am human, I only have one. But when I turn snake, I didn't experiment with this situation, as I can't bother those things much. Since you asked this question and I have promised to clear your doubt, I will tell next time we meet again."
Kisho also simply nodded his head, as he was just curious about that. He pretty much knew that he could possibly be a g**. He looked at orochimaru with pitiful eyes, but orochimaru didn't know why kisho looked at him with pity.
"Kisho kun!! What do you say about my proposal, you joining as my subordinate?" Orochimaru asked without bothering the pity in kisho eyes.
As soon as orochimaru asked that question, kisho who was pitying him suddenly had a flash of a smile on his face. While orochimaru trying to understand why this fellow was much more difficult to understand than him, he suddenly got alarmed as his body and mind telling him to dodge something.
Kisho who was smiling at orochimaru suddenly vanished fro his place and was already standing in front of orochimaru with a kunai on his hand forcing it towards orochimaru.
As orochimaru alarmed, he dodged the attack of kisho narrowly and with a woosh, he jumped backward and looked at kisho with amazement. But soon he felt that his left hand is bleeding a little.
"Ha!! Kisho kun, looks like I have underestimated you huh? From the speed you have shown, it was enough to contend against someone who opened 6th gate with jonin level chakra right?" Orochimaru estimated accurately, making both naruto and Sasuke amazed by this, still, they didn't know who this fellow was and why kisho know him.
'Clap Clap'
"As expected of the legendary Sannin level ninja, who also has tremendous knowledge. Orochimaru sama, I am just a level below you in fighting prowess and if I were to attack you with naruto and Sasuke as my support, it won't be much difficult for me to scope with you even if we fight for hours."
After saying that, he looked at orochimaru for some time in silence, before continuing.
"So, the best option for you is to delete all your ambitions on Sasuke and me. Of course, you have much fear towards naruto also, from the attack I see at the start. You outright tried to eliminate him. Hmm.....Let us come to a pact, you won't attack my friends or to say Konoha village, I will let you go for today. Else, I am sure of my speed and I am also sure that I can be able to stop you from going away before Hokage comes. Even though, you may be able to fight Hokage now, can you fight the combined force of me, Hokage sama, naruto, Sasuke, guy sensei, and Kakashi san without your schemed plan?"
Kisho asked with a cunning smile on his face. That smile right now made orochimaru shudder with foreboding feeling, as kisho knew the attack he planned to destroy leaf village.
"How do you know?" Orochimaru asked with a defeated expression.
"Is it important?" Kisho also simply responded with a question.
"Now, Now..... I am really interested in you, kisho kun. From what I see, you are only around 13 years, right? I know, if I were to let you develop anymore, I am unable to do anything to you. As your prowess may very well be too much for me to fight you, the next time we met. Then...I will agree with this fact, but I want to fight with you in 3 years again. Until these 3 years, I will not attack any of the villagers from Konoha at all. But, if you can't impress me with your strength at that time, I will again resume my goal to deal with Konoha. Will you agree to this deal?"
Orochimaru asked with much interest, as he became fond of kisho talent. Kisho also knew that if he let go of orochimaru know, he will never get another chance like this anytime soon. But he knew that orochimaru will not die for real, even if he was killed here.
Hence, he decided to gamble on this and wanted to see how orochimaru develops. He also wanted to kill Kabuto right in this exam. But soon restrained, as kabuto also turn a new leaf after that incident. He knew all these wars that happened and will happen is the result of black Zetsu. So, he wanted to gamble on orochimaru changing his view.
"Its a deal then!!" Kisho also said, But soon he heard a voice telling him to not let him go.
"Don't let him go!! He was a wanted criminal by Konoha village." Anko said as she saw all the fight scene that happened. She came there, just when kisho attacked orochimaru and knows that kisho can stop him.
"Oh!!" Orochimaru just looked at her with disdain and went away with a smile on his face.
Anko tried to attack him but was restrained by kisho tug on her hand. Soon orochimaru vanished from their sight.
Anko just looked at orochimaru vanished sight with hatred flowing in her eyes. But soon she turned to look at kisho with accusing eyes but didn't say anything. She along with her subordinates went away.
Just as she was about to vanish from their sight. She heard the voice of kisho and shuddered, before moving away with tears in her eyes.
"You knew that you are not a match for him. Plus, I want to give him a chance, maybe he can change for the better." That was the words, she heard from kisho. She was used to admiring his sensei and even now she wants him to change.
After all, this is completely over. Shikamaru, Sakura, and ino also came to them. He looked at all of them with a smile and said,
"Let's go!! We will discuss the details on the way. Your team doesn't have your scroll yet, right? First, we will get a scroll for you and we will hand the scroll to the people at tower. So that we can have more time to practice." As kisho said, he started walking slowly.
