Chapter 273 The Seven Sound Swordsmen?
Sasuke was completely confused now, he never expected to see his brother here.

He should have been surprised to see his brother, but he was confused by his brother's words.

What did your brother say just now? To be more respectful to the teacher?
Who is the teacher? Is he referring to this ugly guy called Orochimaru?

Why? Didn’t my brother come to rescue me?

At this time, not only Sasuke, but even Naruto, who knew the inside story of his kidnapping, was a little confused. He thought to himself, isn't Sasuke's brother an enemy? He had fought so fiercely with Brother Lu before, and knocked down Orochimaru with an illusion.

What is the situation now? Why did Sasuke's brother also ask Sasuke to become Orochimaru's apprentice?
Just when Naruto and Sasuke were both confused, Lu Li walked out of the forest, arriving late.

"Itachi, you've seen the person, be careful when you go back, don't reveal your whereabouts."

Lu Li reminded that the Uchiha clan was in a critical stage of transformation, and it would be hilarious if people discovered that Itachi went to Orochimaru's place to see Sasuke from time to time.

"Don't worry, senior. No one in Konoha can follow me quietly now."

Itachi nodded and looked at Sasuke again, "Sasuke, you may not understand the situation yet, but you have to believe that we are doing this for your own good. With Orochimaru, you can get the best education and quickly become a powerful ninja..."

After thinking for a moment, and fearing that Sasuke might not be motivated enough, he added, "...to become a stronger ninja than I am."

Sasuke was a smart child. When he saw the three-party meeting between Zai, Orochimaru and his brother, he understood that there was something fishy about the battle in Konoha. His brother and father were in cahoots with Zai and the others!

He felt uncomfortable and had no intention of listening to Itachi's advice. The young boy just wanted to go home and enjoy his brother's warm smile and his mother's gentle hug.

"Brother...Father, Mother, etc..."

Sasuke tried to get his brother to retract this horrible decision. If he let him train with a guy like Orochimaru who looked so suspicious, would he die?
"Father has already agreed to this matter. I will talk to mother about it."

However, before Sasuke could finish, Itachi interrupted him and said, "You can practice here with peace of mind. Believe me, this place will be safer than the current Konoha. I will come to check your homework once a month. If you don't make progress, I will let teacher Orochimaru be stricter with you."

Sasuke was suffocated by Itachi's words and felt aggrieved, but the pride of being an Uchiha prevented him from showing weakness. He felt a little relieved when he heard that his brother would come to check his homework.

"Haha, Sasuke, we will be classmates from now on, so don't let me leave you behind."

Naruto was full of energy on the side. He was very happy to hear that Sasuke wanted to train with him. He said that he hated Sasuke, but it was rare that a peer was willing to communicate with him, so he was still quite happy.

Besides, he had seen how powerful the Uchiha were, and felt that if he could defeat Sasuke, he would surely become a great ninja.

"Hmph, stop bragging. How could you possibly have better grades than me? In a class with only two of us, you can only be the last one."

Sasuke said proudly. Provoked by Naruto, he became more competitive and no longer thought about returning to the village.

If he just left like this, wouldn't Naruto, the idiot, look down on him? No, he had to let Naruto know the gap between himself and the genius!
Lu Li looked at Sasuke and Naruto, thinking that children are easy to fool. Even the future King of Force, Jiko, didn't think too much. Itachi's few words and Naruto's mouth cannon directly kept Sasuke here.

"On the other hand, if you're not as strong as me, you'll be the last one!"

Naruto's train of thought is simple, and he directly counterattacks Sasuke's words.

Sasuke and Naruto put their heads together, looking like they were about to fight. Judging from the distance, if someone helped, they would kiss each other directly.

At this time, Orochimaru, as a teacher, spoke up, "Don't get me wrong, there are other children here. As ninjas, you are currently the two weakest."

As a teacher, Orochimaru never indulges his students and bluntly says that Naruto and Sasuke are the worst here.

For a moment, not to mention Sasuke, even Naruto was dissatisfied.

Because Brother Lu said before that he was the child of the Fourth Hokage, and he was also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so he believed that he must be a person with excellent ninja qualifications.

It can be said that because he learned about his own life experience, apart from his resentment towards the village, Naruto is no longer inferior at all. Instead, he feels that he should have the mentality of a young genius to face his training positively.

"What Senior Orochimaru said is true. You two little guys, don't think that the teaching level of Konoha is that good. In the peaceful times, the children who come out of the ninja school are getting worse and worse. Let's not talk about anything else. Sasuke, do you know how old your brother was when he graduated from the ninja school?"

Lu Li looked at Naruto and Sasuke, wanting to discourage these two overconfident kids.

"Seven years old..."

Sasuke certainly knew the achievements of his idolized brother, but after he said this, he realized that something was wrong. He was now 5 years old, not much younger than his brother was, but he had not yet entered the ninja school...

"And your teacher, Senior Orochimaru, graduated at the age of six. Although you are an Uchiha, you are still just a child who can't even be considered a ninja. If you enter Konoha's school to train according to the original plan, how old do you think you will be to graduate? Ten? Twelve? Thirteen?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "Please, your brother opened the Mangekyo at the age of thirteen and became a Kage-level expert."

Sasuke was speechless for a moment. He roughly calculated in his mind that if the normal arrangement was followed, he might have to wait until he was a teenager to graduate from the ninja school.

By then he would be nothing more than a Genin, a twelve-year-old Genin. That didn't sound cool at all and he couldn't compare to his brother at all.

"Then...if I follow Sensei Orochimaru, will I become very strong?"

Sasuke asked hesitantly, looking at Lu Li with a bit of fear in his eyes, mainly because Lu Li had made such a deep impression on him as a killing god in the battle of Konoha.

In addition, his brother seemed to be very respectful to Lu Li, which made him feel that Lu Li was oppressed.

"It seems useless to just talk, Senior Orochimaru, why don't you show them the results of your teaching?"

Lu Li smiled and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice: "Kimimaro, bring them out."

I don't know if he had contacted the children in Sound Village in advance, but Kimimaro was on standby in the house outside the woods. Hearing this, he walked out with the people behind him.

The future fighting force of Otogakure all came out with Kimimaro. Jūgo, Karin, Hozuki, and Haku who was sent to a cram school by Zabuza, they were a luxurious seed team. Naruto and Sasuke looked at these five children who were probably the same age. Although they had not officially become ninjas, they could feel how powerful these five people were.

Lu Li looked at this scene, raised his hand and touched his chin, wondering what this group should be called in the future, The Seven Sound Swordsmen?
No, that seems a bit inelegant.

"Lord Orochimaru, is this the disciple you want to accept? He looks very weak."

Kimimaro expressed his thoughts expressionlessly, and the look he gave Naruto and Sasuke contained a hint of jealousy and vigilance.

He had already decided to dedicate his entire life to Lord Orochimaru, but even though he was so loyal and talented, he was not accepted as a disciple by Lord Orochimaru. He did not dare to ask for such a status, and only hoped to do his best under Lord Orochimaru.

But these two new kids looked like cowards at first glance, but they were actually accepted as disciples by Lord Orochimaru, which was a huge honor for him.

"It looks like they'll die easily. If I punch them, they'll die."

Jūgo followed closely behind Kimimaro and said with a worried look on his face.

"Is this the ninja from Konoha? He looks so weak."

Gui Deng Shuiyue complained, and looked at Bai who was older than him, "Sister Bai, don't you think so?"

The cute little face turned cold, "How many times have I told you that I'm a boy, don't call me sister, Shuiyue, do you want to be frozen by me again?"

When Suigetsu shrank his head, Bai shifted his gaze back to Sasuke and Naruto, "But you're right, they do look a little weak."

"Oops... isn't he a little handsome?"

Karin yawned, pretending to be nonchalant, and stole a glance at Sasuke.

Naruto was okay, but Sasuke, who had been arrogant and thought of himself as a genius since childhood, could not stand this insult, and an unhappy expression instantly appeared on his little face.

"Hmph, that sounds good, why don't we fight each other and see."

Sasuke said that although he did not enter a ninja school, he did some ninja training every day and was also quite good at shuriken.

"Hey, don't be so cocky, I'll become stronger soon and surpass you all!"

Naruto was also shouting at the side, feeling dissatisfied.

"It seems that the freshmen are not convinced. Well, let me show you the teaching results of Senior Orochimaru."

Lu Li said with a smile, then looked at Shuiyue, "Shuiyue, educate them."

Suigetsu first glanced at Orochimaru, and then walked out of the queue when he saw Orochimaru nod.

He grinned, revealing a set of shark-like teeth. "You two, come on together."

Sasuke was well versed in the art of showing off at a young age. He put one hand in his pocket and raised the other hand to block Naruto, "Naruto, don't do anything. Let me teach him a lesson."

Suigetsu didn't interrupt when she saw this, but just looked at Sasuke like a clown.

Ten seconds later...

Well, Sasuke looked very embarrassed when he fell to the ground, but he was really handsome when he was pretending to be cool just now.

"Sasuke!"

Seeing this, Naruto rushed forward, but was no better than Sasuke and was knocked down at the first sight.

There was also some surprise in Itachi's eyes as he was watching the fight. From an ordinary person's perspective, this was just a fight between a few five or six-year-old kids, but Itachi could see Suigetsu's ninja skills.

It can be said that, judging only by the basic skills of a ninja, Suigetsu is already an elite among the Genin, and he is only five or six years old.

Not only that, he believed that Orochimaru would not train a child casually, and this child might have some bloodline limit or secret techniques that could only be used by a special bloodline.

It can only be said that the education Sasuke received was too gentle. Of course, it was also because the situation of Uchiha was not good in recent years, and neither he nor his father taught Sasuke well.

"Kimimaro, we still have some things to do. You should take the brothers down there to stay and teach them the basics of ninja."

Orochimaru ordered, and the content of his words perked up Kimimaro.

Junior brother?

Doesn't that mean that Lord Orochimaru also considers me as his disciple?

Thinking of this, Kimimaro's mood became better, and he looked at Naruto and Sasuke in a more favorable light. He walked forward, helped Sasuke and Naruto up, and dragged them away, one on the left and one on the right, "Let's go to your rooms first."

Seeing Itachi's look of expectation and worry, Lu Li spoke to comfort him, "Itachi, don't worry. Sasuke is tougher than you think. He will become stronger. I will contact you if there is any situation."

Itachi felt much more at ease after hearing this, and thought to himself, that's right, the senior is still here with Orochimaru, so nothing unexpected will happen.

You have to know that the Fire Nation, which is recognized as the strongest in the ninja world, has been defeated by your senior. In such a big world, I am afraid that only the leader of the Akatsuki organization who possesses the Rinnegan that your senior mentioned can defeat your senior, right?

Thinking of this, he no longer worried about Sasuke's safety staying here. As for Orochimaru, he believed that after the deal with Uchiha, he would not do anything to Sasuke, a blind child.

"Senior, I will go back to Konoha first. Regarding the reconstruction of the village and the election of the new Hokage, we will communicate later if there is anything else."

Itachi finished speaking, without further delay, and used the instant body-flickering technique to disappear from the spot.
