God of the Multiverse: A Shinobi's Destiny

Chapter 27

"I'm gonna kill him. Let me kill him!"

"Idiot..."

"Honestly, I'm kinda speechless."

"This is 'kinda' your fault, though."

"Will you three shut up."

Shinku watched as the four figures, two similar but alternate Shinku's, Akame, and Loli gave him mixed looks.

Disappointment. Annoyance. Anger. Impassiveness...

Shinku swirled through a world of darkness with countless voices for what felt like decades.

"Shut... up..." Through gritted teeth, Shinku snapped his eyes open, silencing the voices.

"Hmm. It's warm... so... comfortable..." Shinku blinked a few times. Looking around, he noticed he was lying down on a bed once again with a thick and warm blanket tossed over him.

Though a frown soon marred his face as he noticed, his hands and feet were bound with ropes to the bed with several chakra suppressing seals drawn over them.

"This is excessive..."

"Oh. And you trying to kill me wasn't? Honestly, you attacked unprovoked, and you call this excessive." Orochimaru slithered out from underneath the blanket onto Shinku's chest.

"You drugged me before I attacked."

"It wasn't a drug. It was an experimental sedative Tsunade cooked up. Considering your attempt to leave in a hurry without properly recovering, I'd say it was justified." Orochimaru whispered into Shinku's ear, unmoving from onto of him.

"Still a drug, it doesn't matter how you spin it." Shinku yanked one of the ropes, cracking part of the backboard.

"Sigh. Men..." Orochimaru slid her hands up to Shinku's wrists to stop him from any more attempt to break free.

"I'm fine now, so give me my stuff, and I'll head out." Shinku raised a brow at how close Orochimaru face was to his own and contemplated a headbutt, but brushed the thought aside for now.

"You won't even stay for me?"

With her long, snake like tongue, Orochimaru licked along Shinku's cheek. Grinning as she did so.

Despite her protests and efforts, the headboard creaked, beginning to burst from the Shinku's strength, pulling against it and pushing Orochimaru back.

"Damn..."

The ropes eventually snapped, accompanied by the backboard splintering.

Rolling over, Shinku forced Orochimaru under him on the bed as he ripped the chakra-suppressing seals off and untied the ropes around his ankles. His gaze filled with annoyance.

"I gave you a chance to cooperate, now you're just getting on my nerves." Shinku pressed several chakra points, accessible with his current position, and stood up, leaving Orochimaru partially paralyzed.

"While I'm thankful to you, I have business that needs to be settled." Shinku said as he immediately began scrounging around the room for his stuff, grabbing his sword along the way.
