Chapter 88: The Chunin Exams - 14

There was a smile on the original Daiki's face as he left the newly formed Black Maned Wolf summoning clan to enjoy their massive bear meal together.

It was surprisingly easy to get them to agree to the summoning contract, and now they would become much stronger and smarter in the future because of it and that wasn't taking into account them possibly getting ninken training in the future.

Now, he found himself playing spectator to Sasuke versus Orochimaru. Naruto had already returned, saved them and got his ass beat and was currently hanging like a rubbish bag pinned to a tree.

He blinked, a rush of memories going through his mind suddenly and he groaned, palming his face as blood rushed south. He could see in his minds eye, Hokuto, the cute older brown haired girl, topless, fair skinned, round perky breasts a bit larger than a handful, capped with rosy little nipples, how they felt in his hands as he 'moved' them to apply the chakra filter seal correctly, and the taste of her lips as he stole a cheeky little kiss from her once he finished applying the seal.

....Fucking clones.

Well, at least he had quite a decent amount of star chakra to start with now, and he could definitely understand what his clone planned and passed on to him.

But, he put that out of mind for now, and focused on the fight going on. It was dwindling to an end now.

He watched as Sasuke bound Orochimaru to a massive tree with shuriken and ninja wire held between his teeth and ran through a few hand seals...

This was it.

In less than a minute, Orochimaru would give Sasuke the Cursed Seal. Such a useful thing that he had no chance of recreating on his own, not without Jugo's DNA.

Honestly, the Cursed Seal itself provided a lot of benefits. Not only did it automatically draw in natural energy, allowing it to be passively collected and would allow someone to basically stay in Sage Mode as long as it was active, it also bestowed upon the user a Sage Transformation like Jugo's.

And if Kabuto was anything to go by, both nature chakra style forms, stacked together.

He kind of wanted it himself. The only problem was dealing with that shard of Orochimaru's that was contained within the seal.

'You wouldn't need to worry about that though,' Isobu piped in, 'To do it like that, the soul shard would have to enter your subconscious, which while for some people would be a very big issue, is a moot point for you when I already live in your subconscious. If you want that seal, then get it, I'll destroy the soul shard.'

Daiki froze.

"Are you sure about that?" Daiki asked, voice serious.

...Because if so, that changed, while not everything, a hell of a lot. Shiromari and the Chameleon clan could not teach him senjutsu. It was one of the first thing's he'd asked.

Shiromari himself was capable of using senjutsu, but that had nothing to do with his chameleon clan, and more to do with his father Manda's side, the Snake clan. He did not so much as learn senjutsu, as he survived it and gained access to it, after all, the way one learned senjutsu with the snakes, was not through training or being taught, it was through being bitten, injected with senjutsu....venom itself for a lack of a better term, surviving and adapting.

Shiromari didn't have the slightest idea of how to go about teaching him how to feel nature energy. So, unless he somehow got the Toad's to teach him, learning senjutsu, was all but impossible for him.

Despite how little it was in contrast to the full thing, his speed increased noticeably, as if he was using the body flicker to speed up.

There was about two miles of distance between him and his targets when he started moving.

At his full current speed, he crossed that distance in less than ten seconds, even without a straight path to follow.

Orochimaru, gave him plenty of time to arrive. The man had far too much fun 'playing' with his prey.

The sannin himself, so invested in his target, and with Daiki hiding his chakra using his eyes, didn't notice him arriving at all.

"-Sense power in your eyes that surpasses even Itachi's," a silky, siblant yet soft spoken voice echoed powerfully through the forest, "My name, is Orochimaru, if you wish to see me again and gain true power, then survive and pass this exam, Sasuke-kun!"

Daiki's eyes landed on his own target as he spoke, the face he wore, half melted, displaying slitted yellow snake-like eyes and a chalk white pale face.

Orochimaru formed a one handed ram seal, and opened his mouth, his fang-like teeth growing noticeably, before his neck stretched and launched through the air so fast, Daiki wouldn't have even been able to track without the Shinkugan and Isobu's chakra enhancing him.

Good thing, Daiki was already preparing, spreading his chakra out and running through a few hand seals.

The instant his neck reached Sasuke and his teeth were about to make contact, there was a puff of smoke, and in Sasuke's place, was Daiki.

A sharp pain lanced up through his neck, while Orochimaru blinked in confusion for all of a microsecond, before his eyes widened in shock.

The confusion lasted long enough for Daiki to elbow the man in the face, dislodging his teeth from his neck.

"You!" Orochimaru hissed, before his eyes seemingly widened even further, to the point where they looked like they would pop right out of his socket, "Rinnegan!?"

"Daiki!" he heard Sasuke shout as well, and saw his friend staring down at him from his previous position on a branch fifty feet up, sharingan eyes wide in shock.

Daiki would have loved to to smirk and give him some cocky line, but he couldn't.

Because that was when, he felt it. He felt the seal form on his neck and something spread out through his body, into his coils, and felt as his chakra coils were forced to take it in, felt as they were stretched out...wider in a sense to accommodate, growing, strengthening.

'...Oh, I forgot something.' he realised in that moment.

He'd forgotten just how much pain the seal itself caused when it formed.

Daiki hunched, bent over and roared as liquid pain, like lava coursing through his veins assaulted his senses.
