Walking on the way to Orochimaru's lab, Sasuke's face was looking quite bad.
After receiving his father's "loving education," Sasuke finally understood—he had been deceived.
Looking at the whole of Konoha, only a few people could manage to deceive him.
With his intelligence, all he needed was to think carefully, and he could figure out who had tricked him.
"Damn Orochimaru, this isn't over."
Rubbing his slightly swollen eyes, Sasuke could barely hold back his desire to bite Orochimaru to death.
Is this something a human would do?
Pretending to be his sister, and even encouraging him to confront his father, which led to two huge black circles under his eyes.
With so many bystanders watching, tomorrow the village would probably be filled with rumors.
When has Sasuke Uchiha ever been treated like this?
It really was one of those moments where holding it in just made it worse, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
He was definitely going to settle the score with Orochimaru.
Coincidentally, Orochimaru had never planned on letting his "lovable disciple" go so easily.
When Sasuke left, heading toward the lab, a scout had already informed him.
"Haha, my lovely disciple is probably about to explode with rage, right?"
On the side, Kimimaro silently watched Orochimaru, who was lying in a rocking chair and laughing maniacally.
He didn't understand why the usually cold and ruthless Orochimaru had turned into some kind of comedian.
Though there were some things about the current Orochimaru that he wasn't quite used to, Kimimaro's loyalty to Orochimaru had never changed.
"Orochimaru-sama, is there anything you need me to do?"
"No need, Kimimaro. For now, just stay in the lab and cooperate with Kabuto on the experiments. Also, you need to calm down Jugo's issues."
"Understood, Orochimaru-sama. And Sasuke?"
"As for Sasuke, I'll handle that personally."
Orochimaru stood up, excitement evident on her face. "Now, I'm going to show Sasuke what it means to respect a teacher's authority."
No, once you pretended to be Sasuke's older sister, you already lost any authority.
Luckily, Kimimaro wasn't the type to make sarcastic comments, otherwise, he would've definitely said something like that.
"Orochimaru, look at the mess you've made."
Orochimaru didn't bring Sasuke to the lab; instead, she went out herself and "coincidentally" ran into him just outside the lab door.
As soon as Sasuke saw Orochimaru, he pointed at his eyes and started questioning her.
"Hehehe, this is the price you pay for not respecting me, your teacher."
Hearing this, Sasuke's eyes widened, and in disbelief, he asked, "You're punishing me for such a ridiculous reason?"
"Ridiculous? I don't think so. Look at Jiraiya's disciple, Naruto. Even though Naruto always calls him a perverted sage, it's clear that Naruto respects Jiraiya a lot.
And then look at Tsunade's disciple, Sakura. Since she became Tsunade's student, she's shown nothing but respect for her. Whatever Tsunade asks her to do, Sakura doesn't even question it and just gets to work.
And you, my dear disciple, you can't even bring yourself to call me 'teacher.'"
"..."
Sasuke fell silent.
He thought about it for a moment and realized that since becoming Orochimaru's student, he had never once called her 'teacher,' always just using her name.
On the surface, it really did seem like he didn't respect Orochimaru.
But this can't be blamed on him.
Before he became a disciple, he had already made it clear to Orochimaru that he wouldn't show the traditional respect toward him like other apprentices.
At that time, Orochimaru didn't say much.
What?
After seeing the way Jiraiya and Tsunade treated their disciples, are you feeling jealous?
What a joke. If you're feeling uneasy about it, that's your problem, it has nothing to do with me, Uchiha Sasuke.
Anyway, Sasuke had made up his mind.
He would never call Orochimaru "Sensei."
For one thing, the fact that she pretended to be his sister was already enough to show she didn't act like a teacher.
"Looks like you've made up your mind not to call me 'Sensei'?"
Sasuke didn't reply, instead giving Orochimaru a cold smirk.
Orochimaru responded with the same cold smile. "Well, I hope you don't regret it."
With that, Orochimaru raised her foot and started walking.
When Sasuke saw Orochimaru walking toward the Uchiha compound, he instinctively called out to her.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Where am I going? Obviously, I'm going to your house."
"What do you want at my house? Don't tell me you actually want to be my sister? My parents won't approve, and neither will I."
"Naive. If you don't agree, do you think I have no other options?"
Turning around, when she saw Sasuke looking confused, Orochimaru kindly reminded him, "You do realize this body of mine is female, right?"
"And? So what?"
"Heh, looks like your thinking is still too rigid. Let me be clear with you: I'm not going to the Uchiha compound to find Fugaku. I'm going to find Uchiha Itachi."
"Itachi? What do you want with him? Are you planning on becoming sworn siblings with him to make yourself my sister?"
"Eh~ How did I not think of that? An adopted sister is still a sister."
As Orochimaru was contemplating the possibility of becoming sworn siblings, Sasuke suddenly got angry.
"Enough! Damn you, Orochimaru! What the hell do you want?"
"I've already said this much, and you still don't understand?"
Orochimaru sneered, then lightly wiped his face with his hand.
In front of Sasuke appeared the face of a strange woman with big eyes, a tall nose, and a small cherry-like mouth.
"I just told you, this body is female. Since you want to make the Uchiha clan thrive, as your teacher, I must help you out."
"Are you serious? Is this how you're going to help?!"
Sasuke was stunned.
Now he understood what Orochimaru wanted.
In addition to being a teacher and sister, this bastard was thinking about his sister-in-law!
"Orochimaru, you're not human."
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, gave Sasuke a seductive glance, and replied with a smile, "When I was young, after seeing my parents' bodies, I realized one thing."
"What is it?"
"Human abilities have limits. If you want to break those limits, you have to take another path."
"…What are you trying to say?"
"I'm saying, Sasuke, I've long since stopped being human."
After saying that, Orochimaru performed a hand seal and revealed his white-phosphorus snake form.
Seeing Orochimaru turn into a giant snake, Sasuke was truly stunned.
He had already known that Orochimaru was in a half-human, half-snake state, but he hadn't expected that Orochimaru would completely abandon the human body and become a full snake.
"Now, Sasuke, tell me, do you still want to call me 'teacher'?"
"I won't call you that."
"Alright, if you won't call me teacher, then you can call me sister-in-law."
Damn.
"Wait."
Sasuke shouted, pain, confusion, and uncertainty all showed on his face.
It really is tough on him, so many expressions appearing on that little face at once.
".Oro...Teacher."
Orochimaru, who had returned to her human form, revealed a victorious smile. She didn't stop when things started to go well, instead, she spread her hands and placed them near her ears.
"What? I can't hear you, speak louder."
"Oro...Teacher!"
"Still can't hear."
Clenching his fists tightly, Sasuke had never felt so uncomfortable.
Between the two titles of 'teacher' and 'sister-in-law,' he still preferred the former.
Calling her sister-in-law really felt impossible.
The thought of possibly calling this monster 'sister-in-law' in the future made Sasuke feel a surge of anger rising from his heart.
He stared hard at Orochimaru and shouted loudly, "Orochimaru-sensei!!!"
"Sensei"
Orochimaru closed her eyes, enjoying this hard-earned title.
She was completely relaxed, so relaxed that she was almost reaching his peak!
