In Orochimaru's eyes, he saw only blood-red pupils slowly expanding and engulfing him.
Then, when he came to his senses, he was no longer in the previous basement.
Instead, he was in a strange, blood-red space. This space appeared slightly mysterious, as if it had existed for many ages.
"This is a genjutsu." Orochimaru's face changed. In such a short time, he had actually fallen under a genjutsu.
"Release." Orochimaru used his genjutsu-release ninjutsu, but it had no effect. He remained trapped here.
"Orochimaru-sensei." Tian Yuan appeared not far from Orochimaru, looking at him calmly.
Upon seeing Tian Yuan, Orochimaru knew that perhaps by defeating Tian Yuan in this genjutsu world, he could also escape. But just as Orochimaru was about to act.
Numerous chains wrapped around his body.
A green-faced, fanged humanoid monster appeared in front of Orochimaru.
"Sensei, this is the construct of my Tsukuyomi world. Please enjoy the first layer: the Hell of Tongue Ripping."
Then two monsters with the same faces appeared. They pulled open Orochimaru's mouth, and a small demon holding iron pincers directly clamped Orochimaru's tongue, slowly pulling it out.
Excruciating pain continuously ravaged Orochimaru's body.
When this tongue was ripped out, another tongue grew in Orochimaru's mouth.
Thus, the cyclical Hell of Tongue Ripping began.
"Second layer, Hell of Scissors."
"Third layer, Hell of Iron Trees."
"Fourth layer, Hell of Mirror of Sin."
Orochimaru experienced world after world of various genjutsu, each layer of hell inflicting immense pain and torment.
This was far more terrifying than Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi in the future.
The mental destruction it inflicted was devastating.
In the world of Tsukuyomi, time and space were created by the user.
A brief moment outside could mean countless hours, months, years, or even longer within.
When he reached the ninth layer, everything disappeared—the demons, the oil pots. In front of Orochimaru, Tian Yuan reappeared beside him.
"Then, Orochimaru-sensei, do you still believe you can keep me here?" Having said this, Tian Yuan vanished from Orochimaru's sight.
Then the space here also shattered.
In Orochimaru's laboratory, underground.
Orochimaru's eyes opened, radiating fear and lingering terror.
He felt as if he had just endured endless years of torment. Orochimaru himself believed he was about to break down.
His originally pale face became even paler.
His eyes were somewhat dim; this was the consequence of severe mental trauma.
"Tian Yuan." Orochimaru looked at Tian Yuan, who was not far away, and gritted his teeth.
"Orochimaru-sensei, I apologize for putting you through such pain," Tian Yuan said, bowing slightly to Orochimaru.
"Don't worry, Orochimaru-sensei. I won't speak of anything here. I hope Lord Orochimaru can also keep my Sharingan a secret." Tian Yuan said, "Then I will take my leave. See you again, Orochimaru-sensei."
Saying that, Tian Yuan left the laboratory.
A meeting with Orochimaru was inevitable. Even if Tian Yuan became a Konoha Chunin, he would follow Orochimaru on missions during this period.
Of course, at a certain point, Konoha would also let Tian Yuan act independently.
More importantly, the Third Great Ninja War was probably about to begin.
The disappearance of the Kazekage caused undercurrents in Hidden Sand Village. More importantly, a long time had passed since the Second Great Ninja War, and the major hidden villages had gradually recovered their strength.
So each hidden village wanted to contend for its own interests.
Especially Konoha. The Land of Fire occupied the fertile lands of the entire ninja world, and its resources were the most abundant.
In general, the Land of Fire would always be a place coveted by other countries.
Ultimately, the ninja forces of various countries and the major hidden villages would naturally start wars from time to time, to contend for limited resources.
Watching Tian Yuan leave, Orochimaru cautiously leaned back in his chair.
He needed to recover from his mental damage, which was not something that could be recovered in a short time. This showed the terror of Tsukuyomi.
"Tian Yuan, and the Sharingan..." Orochimaru's eyes shimmered with light.
The entire underground laboratory returned to peace.
Outside.
Tian Yuan looked at the dark building and chuckled faintly.
Having witnessed Tian Yuan's strength, Orochimaru probably wouldn't make a move easily. Not before he was confident in dealing with Tian Yuan.
Tian Yuan also knew that he and Orochimaru had now openly revealed their intentions.
At most, in front of others, they might display some harmonious teacher-student affection, but if they were alone, Orochimaru probably wouldn't treat Tian Yuan well.
"Orochimaru-sensei, as time goes on, I will become stronger and stronger." Tian Yuan revealed a faint smile, then left the place.
He hadn't even opened the high-definition video he got from this underground laboratory, had he?
On the other side, at the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen, I think Tian Yuan is very suitable for the Root organization," Danzo, whose eyes were wrapped in bandages, said.
"Danzo, what do you mean? Do you want Tian Yuan to join your Root? What kind of joke are you playing?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.
Having watched this Chunin Exam, Hiruzen Sarutobi placed great importance on Tian Yuan.
In both taijutsu and ninjutsu, Tian Yuan was truly a genius.
Regarding the Rasengan, Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew that Tian Yuan, based on Minato Namikaze's research, had deepened his understanding of the ninjutsu and completed an even more formidable Explosion Rasengan, which incorporated fire-style chakra nature transformation.
What would happen if other chakra natures were added?
Minato Namikaze even wanted to consult Tian Yuan.
"Danzo, I know the current situation of your Root. I will not let Tian Yuan join your Root. Not only do I not allow it, but Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru will not allow it either," Hiruzen Sarutobi said loudly.
The Hokage and Konoha's Three Sannin were arguably the most prestigious figures in Konoha.
If these few people did not approve of something, then the chances of that something happening were very low.
"Then what if the ninja who destroyed one of the Root headquarters last time was Tian Yuan?" Danzo suddenly said.
