Chapter 295: 'Orochimaru's' death!
"Smelly brat, you didn't even say anything when you went out?"
Just after returning to the village, the Third Hokage came to his door immediately.
Akabane smiled awkwardly, and then explained: "I went out for something..."
The Third Hokage wanted to smoke but noticed that there were papers everywhere in the lounge. He put the pipe back in a daze, and said grimly, "Go to the office and talk."
"Okay."
Akabane has nothing to say.
Originally, according to the rules, any ninja who left the village had to report to the guard, or find the Third Hokage to explain the reason.
But this time, he knew very well that he had to tell the boss or they would definitely not let him go.
not to mention...
There is something in it that is not suitable for telling others.
The two went to the office, and the Third Hokage took out a scroll and said, "This is a letter from Rain Village. It is Hanzo. He claims to have met Uchiha Madara."
Madara?
Impossible!
Akabane was startled slightly, then took it and took a look.
The description of Madara above was not clear. Obviously, Hanzo didn't really see Madara. He thought for a while and asked, "Shouldn't you talk about this with Danzo-sensei, not me?"
Hiruzen glanced at him coldly and said angrily: "Danzo is in charge of the Sand Village. And he said I should talk to you!"
"Um... Okay, if you want me to say it, the Madara Hanzo saw is definitely a fake, because the real Madara was in the country of the River some time ago, and I had a face-to-face with Madara before I came back."
Akabane talked about the situation of his own trip.
Of course.
He temporarily skipped the Kakuzu incident.
"You know that Madara is in the country of River, but you deliberately go there to find Madara, are you not afraid that your life will not be long enough?"
Hiruzen is very angry.
To put it bluntly, Akabane is a very important cornerstone in Konoha's future. He and Danzo will be very sad if anything happens to him.
Therefore, from his perspective, it is absolutely impossible to agree to things like meeting Madara in person.
It is precisely because of this that Akabane did not explain to the Third Hokage in advance, but chose to go to the country of the river alone.
In the face of Hiruzen scolding, he can only nod and bow his waist. After all, Hiruzen is not willing to let him take risks, that's why he became so excited after knowing this.
After a burst of madness, Hiruzen's anger subsided a little...
He sat smoking his cigarette pipe while thinking about the intelligence that Akabane brought back in his mind. After a long time, he said: "The Sand Village has sent more than 20 teams. Our reconnaissance team has found them, but Madara is still in the Country of River..."
"Now he should go to the country of wind."
Akabane added.
Whether Madara's goal is the First Tail is still unclear, but the Land-of-Wind is definitely one of the most suitable countries for Madara.
It is vast and sparsely populated, suitable for hiding.
Of course, the environment is indeed quite bad.
Hiruzen nodded, he also considered this point. According to this, the one that appears in Rain Village is not Madara, and there is a high probability that it should be Black Zetsu.
Thinking of this, he felt a little worried.
The origin of Hanzo's title of "Demi-God" is not based on prestige and reputation, but on solid strength. Once this person stands on the side of Madara and Black Zetsu, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although Hanzo is still sending them information, it is too decisive and stupid to determine the Hidden Rain Village's position based on this information.
Akabane observed it again.
What happened to Black Zetsu, he really didn't expect it...
Even if they are on each other's throats, he was still "enthusiastically" pulling sponsors to Madara.
Although this move to win over the Hidden Rain Village seemed to help Madara increase his strength, on the other hand, it also revealed the news that Madara was still alive.
When this news spreads, everyone will notice this legendary figure in the world of forbearance.
When this news spreads, everyone will notice this legendary character from Ninja World.
Looking at it this way, Black Zetsu probably really wants to abandon his plan for Madara.
He thought for a few seconds, and finally shared his conclusion with the Third Hokage, which was praised by the Third Hokage.
This viewpoint may not be unexpected for Hiruzen if he thought about it clearly.
It's just that his thoughts were more on Hanzo's issues, instead of thinking about the information implicit in Black Zetsu actions.
After some talk, Akabane was about to leave the office.
At this time, Hiruzen suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Orochimaru will go back to Konoha today. You are responsible for answering back, lest the Jashinists find this time to do something."
"Ok."
The manpower coming back is certainly not all. Although everyone already knows how to deal with the Jashinists, there are too many cultists but on their side, they have insufficient manpower.
So cohesion is necessary.
However, Akabane remembered that he seemed to have "painted to death" Orochimaru in the comics.
This...
After the meeting, Orochimaru might not look good.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I propose to let Tsunade go with me and fight against Jashinists. Some of the injuries suffered by the ninjas may not be completely resolved with emergency treatment."
"Well, go and contact her yourself."
Hiruzen nodded.
With Tsunade on his side, it shouldn't be bloody later, although the Eight-Headed Serpent Jutsu is really ugly and disgusting, but those are indeed the proud Forbidden Jutsu of the Original Orochimaru.
Tsunade is now in the hospital almost every day. She is not too old, but she is truly talented in medical ninjutsu, and her attainments in this area may be slightly higher than that of Utatane Koharu.
Meeting her again after a while, Akabane could feel the changes in her.
Her Chakra aura weakened, while the Yin Seal aura strengthened a lot. Obviously, the forbidden research on Creation Rebirth has not been put down recently.
After talking to Tsunade, she readily submitted a leave as she agreed to it.
The next second, his Flying Thunder God Jutsu launches.
Seeing Akabane, Orochimaru was indeed full of resentment.
Although they were on their mission, it was not difficult to buy comics in the Land of Fire, so he not only read the comics but also made up the plot to the latest stage.
then...
Like Kakuzu, Orochimaru witnessed the death of "himself" with his own eyes.
Kakuzu died at least under the beating of a bunch of strong ninjas. Although the death was extremely bitter, at any rate, it was full of excitement, but what about Orochimaru?
After devouring Sasuke, his mental will was not as good as his apprentice who was taught by his hand, causing his consciousness space to be invaded and killed.
That's stupid!
Only after reading the ending in the comic, Orochimaru only had these words in his mind, nothing else.
of course.
This is Orochimaru's current thinking, as for whether there will be a reversal of "Orochimaru" in the future, even he himself is not sure.
But there is a line Orochimaru agrees with.
He is eager to know all the truths in the world, hoping to understand all the unknown, and wants to understand the meaning of all existence.
From this perspective, the pursuit of longevity is not incomprehensible.
Due to Tsunade's existence, Orochimaru didn't get too entangled in this matter. After a brief greeting, Orochimaru was excited to take Tsunade and Akabane to "visit" the spoils of this trip-a bunch of living, sealed cultists.
Undead Cultists are the most important, but they also collected those cultists who can become larger and also those who have stronger recovery capabilities.
Akabane saw this undead again, and many of them had been reassembled and stitched together, but without exception, they had no limbs, and they were kept like human sticks in small cages constructed by sealing technique.
Orochimaru explained: "Their immortality is slightly different from Hidan. Their limbs can be separated for a long time, but they will die if their head is separated for more than half an hour."
"Most of them are old, maybe they are just a semi-finished product."
Akabane quickly found the difference.
These people are a lot older than last time. It seems that the price of such immortality is also life.
This is also normal.
To Jashinists, life is just the least valuable thing.
"What is his ability?"
Tsunade pointed at a cultist who was simply tied up.
"Self-healing, his self-healing ability comes from Jashin Chakra. If you want to maintain this ability, you must follow the rules of the Jashinists Cult and perform rituals in the process of using it. It is the ability we have encountered the most times, like this…"
As Orochimaru said that, he also stabbed the guy for her to see.
The cultist was clearly in a coma, but after the knife was pulled out, his body began to recover automatically.
As early as Chunin Exams, Akabane and Orochimaru met this ability.
But now, these Jashinists Cult have obviously improved.
Its power consumption is lower.
But for Tsunade, this ability has a very high research value. After observing for a long time, she finally said excitedly: "These cultists are really interesting..."
Then she took out a scalpel and stabbed it a few more times.
Then, Orochimaru led Tsunade to "visit" various cultists, and each time the two of them started "practical" drills.
The companions who followed and watched didn't feel excited at all. The conversation and actions of Orochimaru and Tsunade made them feel like they have one's hair stand on end.
Is this ninjutsu research?
How Horrible!
Orochimaru noticed their expressions, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "With Akabane, half of you can choose to go back to the front line, plus border defence, to prevent cultists from crossing the border and disturbing our country of fire."
"Yes!"
A group of ninja shouted excitedly.
But then everyone thought of a question, the quota is only half, who will go and who will stay?
The other side is a genius lunatic.
During this period of time, Orochimaru's obsessive research on the various abilities of cultists has made many of his associates afraid and terrified, and he himself knows this.
So seeing this scene, he thought and said again: "Leave a few escorts, and the rest will go back."
"Yes!"
The selection of the escorts was simple-ten elite Genins were left behind.
As for the question of whether the cultists will cause trouble, Orochimaru is not worried at all.
Thank you so much for trusting me!
As everyone knows, Akabane hates work and troubles the most, especially this kind of delicate work, he will never take it if he has a choice.
But Orochimaru said so, what else could he say?
Yes, you are the boss today.
Akabane silently accepted, then activated his perception ability and checked the surrounding conditions to avoid accidents.
