A Shinobi Awakens - Chapter 55 The Birth Of The Saimin Clan

After a few minutes of daydreaming Ichizo’s Guards announced Orochimaru entered the Palace to answer the summons. Over the past few years Orochimaru has studied and fulfilled all ideas Ichizo has brought forth from the Trains to the CPUs of most electronics, his department worked the hardest to make the Kingdom into what it is today. Long hours, weeks working without breaks to ensure something was completed according to schedule, of course they were all compensated for their efforts but without them the Village and The Nation would not be as developed as it is today.

Orochimaru entered the Throne room as he walked in he looked up a the Man sitting upon the throne, the Chakra in the air danced around him gracefully like a gentle spring breeze. The density of the Chakra was apparent due to it’s almost tangible appearance as it corested the garments of the King. This was also the first time Orochimaru has seen the King since his transformation, Outward he showed no reaction but, inside his views on power were obliterated. Even from outside the Palace you can feel the oppressive force of the King’s raw power but once you step inside you wonder how the building could even support the pressure. Every step was getting more difficult, every breath became harder to take, every thought became “leave here without angering the Deity in the room”.

Seconds felt like minutes, Minutes felt like years, step after step he approached the King. His Gaze could no longer focus on the King so he found himself staring at the Marble floors of the Throne room. After what felt like hours he finally arrived at the foot of the Throne, He bowed and began the customary greeting to the King.

“Orochimaru, Head of the Department of Research and Development greets His Majesty King Zenkichi!” Sweat dripped down his forehead due to the fact no one informed him of what this summons was for, all sorts of thoughts and Ideas passed through his head. ‘What could I have done to be called by His Majesty? Was I not efficient enough in my Work? Did I not follow his directives correctly?’ Then he heard the King Speak.

“Orochimaru I am very pleased with the work you have accomplished over the past few years, when I first gave you this task I said that I would reward you handsomely now it is time to do so.” The King reached into his inventory to others it appeared as if his hand just entered a fold in thin air, out of his inventory he pulled out a small vial of a clear liquid.

“This vial contains the Bloodline of the Uchiha with this when you accumulate enough merit I will grant you permission to become a wielder of the Timeless Sharingan to begin your journey to immortality.”

Orochimaru’s breath became even more hurried as his chest rose and fell quicker than before, every cell in his body was yearning for that vial yet if he tried anything to receive it before the King finished speaking he world be wiped from existence before his brain could process his death. He attempted to slow his breathing and return to an expressionless face, who knows what the King would do if he saw such vulgar behavior.

“The Uchiha Name is associated with the Hidden Leaf, Madara, these two entities draw attention away from the work you will do in the future therefore that clan name will stay with the Leaf. After Today you will no longer be just Orochimaru, Your Name will be Orochimaru Saimin Head of The Saimin Clan! One of the 13 Pillars of the Night Kingdom, You bear the eyes of your Monarch do not disappoint me!” When Ichizo finished speaking the vial appeared in Orochimaru’s Hand which he immediately ingested.

His brown eyes became a Black Abyss no other visible changes to his body happened yet his Chakra spiked to a level which the other Kage would find extremely oppressive but not quite the level of Madara or Hashirama. He is currently the Only Jokyunin that has not opened 1 or more gates, Similar to Shisui after the changes were done Orochimaru visited Warden.

He found himself in an open field filled with Skeletons littering the ground with such dense layering he could not walk forward without kicking bones. Every step he took the Bones would shuffle under his feet, he walked at a slow pace but his alertness was at its peak. Wind Blades began flying in his direction.

“All These Toy’s Master has brought Warden has left me quite entertained! But A new Toy has Arrived! Master Must have Big Plans for you! So Warden will only play with you for a short time, Warden will be sure to show you a lot of attention!”
