After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

"You're going to die!"

Hearing the voice behind her, Qianyu stiffened and her expression turned rather grim.

Fortunately, she wasn't facing the other person right now, otherwise she would have been exposed.

With a slight movement of her powerful wrist, adjusting her blood flow to slow her heartbeat, Qianyu maintained a perfectly balanced look of confusion as she turned around.

"Sister, are you calling me?"

"..."

Orochimaru didn't answer, but just kept a playful smile, watching Chiba with great interest, as if he were watching a performance.

"Sister?" Seeing that the other party did not answer, although she was already sweating profusely inside, Qianyu still tilted her head slightly in a cute way, maintaining her adorable appearance.

But the woman in front of her wasn't buying it.

Orochimaru spoke calmly and confidently: "You recognize me."

"I'm curious, how did you recognize me?"

Just by looking at Orochimaru's current female attire, you can tell that she simply came back for a stroll on a whim.

Of course, she probably also had a thought in her mind that seeing me come back like this, how many of you would recognize me?

But this is like exhibitionism. Although it's about seeking stimulation, it's about seeking stimulation without being discovered. If someone discovers you, then it's a different kind of play.

So she was genuinely curious about how Chiyu could recognize her.

"Hahaha, this was an accident, an accident!"

However, when faced with Orochimaru's question, Chiba could only manage an awkward laugh.

Because recognizing Orochimaru this time was truly an accident.

Didn't she upgrade the White Fang Sword Technique to Master level?

In addition to the improved understanding of swordsmanship, the master level also increased her previous sword range.

The sword's range is the entire territory within a single sword strike. However, after the White Fang Sword Technique reaches the master level, an additional step is added to this single sword strike.

Within a single step and a single sword strike, Qianyu will maintain the highest level of perception and reaction to any place he can reach.

The problem today is precisely this: it was this extra step that allowed Chiba to experience Orochimaru's chilling spirit.

While Orochimaru being a man might be a blind spot for others, it doesn't apply to Chiba.

So, with long hair reaching her waist, an oval face, and golden eyes, Qianyu instantly identified with the kind of spirit and aura that appeared during this period.

And that's where things went wrong.

Because Chiba never expected that her first encounter with Orochimaru would not be the Chunin Exams, but the Memorial Forest.

Caught off guard, she revealed a slight flaw, which Orochimaru immediately noticed.

It can only be said that knowing too much is really not a good thing.

At the same time, even an unexpected statement could not dispel Orochimaru's doubts.

"An accident? There aren't that many accidents. You can't just brush me off with a perfunctory answer. It won't dispel my doubts."

"Or are you simply unable to speak?"

As he spoke, Orochimaru took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Chiyu just a few steps away. His pale hand bypassed Chiyu's instinctive attempt to stop him and precisely pinched her cheek.

Then Orochimaru exerted a little force, and Chiba's small mouth was forcibly pried open, revealing a pink, delicate little tongue to Orochimaru.

However, the black incantation that Orochimaru had anticipated was not seen on that small, delicate tongue.

"It wasn't Danzo's people?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly upon seeing this result.

She thought Chiyu was from Root.

Because she certainly knew Qianyu.

She was a teammate of Naruto and Sasuke in Team 7. She was suddenly placed in the team at the last minute, replacing Sakura Haruno, even though the team assignment list had already been finalized.

In this context, considering Danzo's constant claims about weaponizing Jinchuriki and his surveillance of the Uchiha clan, Orochimaru naturally interpreted it as Danzo winning the battle against the Third Hokage.

She even mocked three generations back then.

But now it seems that's not the case; she was able to join Class 7 for other reasons.

"Tell me, don't keep me waiting too long!" Orochimaru released Chiba, showing some interest in her.

"Okay!" Despite the huge difference in strength, Qianyu was unusually obedient and didn't even dare to rub her cheeks, which were being pinched so hard.

She explained, "Actually, it's just that my senses are relatively more sensitive than the average person's."

"Then, I enjoy flipping through books a little more than others, so..."

Chiba looked at the memorial tablet next to Orochimaru.

That is a memorial stone that has been standing for quite some time. Over the years, it has been weathered and left many marks.

Yet the name on it remains clearly visible.

Following Chiba's gaze, Orochimaru also saw the name that had a profound influence on him—Nawaki!

"Excellent, very keen observation and judgment!" Orochimaru nodded in praise.

Being able to discern her identity through her aura and her act of worshipping the rope tree, even among the people Orochimaru had met, Chiba was considered one of the quickest-witted.

This improved Orochimaru's mood somewhat. After all, as a scientist, she had a certain aversion to stupidity and couldn't stand idiots, fools, or morons.

But at the same time, Orochimaru changed his tone: "However, you can't find my information by flipping through the book."

There is a saying that goes something like "to destroy the writings one has written since birth".

Since Orochimaru's human experimentation was exposed, everything about him has been labeled as evil. All the records on the surface were destroyed, and those that were not destroyed were collected by Danzo.

Official records cannot be destroyed, and the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Annals is also what is preserved. Only the oral traditions passed down from generation to generation retain a little memory of it.

If there is a tradition, then this is not surprising.

But Qianyu is an orphan!

"So, you have a secret!"

Orochimaru chuckled softly, and under Chiba's extremely wary gaze, he opened his mouth, his long, dark red tongue sticking out with sticky saliva, and licked his lips: "What secret is it? Ah, how intriguing!"

A terrifying pressure descended upon Qianyu at that moment.

It felt as if countless slippery, cold snakes were crawling all over her body, and Qianyu got goosebumps all over.

"Drip!" Cold sweat trickled down his smooth forehead.

At that moment, she even had the urge to immediately open the three gates and then use her spatial substitute to slip away.

She's still quite confident when it comes to just slipping away.

However, Qianyu forcefully suppressed this impulse.

Because she suddenly realized something: Orochimaru would never lay a hand on her.

She does have secrets, but she's not Sasuke, and her secrets are irrelevant to Orochimaru.

Furthermore, she is a member of Team 7. Orochimaru's current target is Sasuke. What if something happens to her and Team 7 doesn't participate in the Chunin Exams?

Thinking of this, Qianyu gradually calmed down.

Upon seeing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Orochimaru's eyes: "A wise choice!"

"You didn't lose your composure because of fear, and you're so smart and capable... What should I do, little guy, I've suddenly taken a liking to you!"

"So, do you want to come with me?"
