Orochimaru had never been a person who would easily admit defeat.
Not only was he obsessed with eternal life.
After obtaining endless life, Orochimaru could throw his infinite life into the great undertaking of exploring the mysteries of the world. This was his ideal.
Scattered souls could be constantly resurrected, which was his greatest confidence.
The enemy could defeat him time and time again, but they could not kill him.
"Country of Heaven, from now on, this is my territory."
Orochimaru licked his lips, took Shin, and plunged into this broken country.
Soon after, the Otogakure was established in a low profile.
Orochimaru also planned to find a chance to contact the Fuumal Clan and bring them into Otogakure.
But that was a matter of the future.
"Shin, this is Sharingan, whom I have treasured for a long time. It wasn't easy for me to get it. You have to cherish it."
Orochimaru took out a glass bottle, and the eyes of two magatama were sealed inside.
When he was on the Western Front, there were also dozens of Uchiha clansmen who were his subordinates.
In order to get this pair of Sharingan, Orochimaru also spent a lot of effort to get it. He secretly dealt with the owners of these eyes, and their corpses were turned to ashes.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama! I will definitely use these eyes well to see the road ahead for you!"
Uchiha Shin trembled all over, and his face was deeply obsessed. It was a devout believer who finally saw the expression of God after going through many hardships.
The operation began.
Orochimaru moved his hand and dug out the original eye of Uchiha Shin, then implanted the pair of magatama into it.
The process was very smooth.
Just as Orochimaru had expected, the body of Shin did not show any rejection to Sharingan, as if Sharingan had been his eyes in the first place. It was natural.
"What an amazing physique. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for a second body like this to appear in the entire Ninja World."
Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips, and his eyes showed a little desire.
If he could carry Sharingan, then he must be able to carry Hashirama's cells.
It must be known that the right arm that he had made for Danzo had been specially cut off the right arm of Uchiha Shin, using the right arm of Uchiha Shin as the foundation material, and was then slowly cultivated.
"Orochimaru-sama, these eyes are really useful. I can see even more clearly."
Shin sat up, staring at the magatama with his eyes wide open.
When he saw his original eyes that had been dug out, he immediately revealed a look of disdain and crushed the two eyes with his hand.
"You don't miss the eyes of the past at all? You are even more heartless than I thought. Shin." Orochimaru laughed.
"Orochimaru-sama, you know me. As long as I can become a member of Uchiha's clan and possess the bloodline of this clan, I can pay any price! Compared to Sharingan, what are these ordinary eyes worth?"
Uchiha Shin was very excited. "Right now, it's just a piece of jade. In the future, I still have to think of a way to raise it to three pieces and then have Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"What a great dream, I'm looking forward to it." Orochimaru said this, but in fact, he did not care.
Don't joke around.
Even if he did not reject Sharingan, it was impossible for Shin to open Mangekyou.
Even for Uchiha clan, it was extremely difficult to open such eyes, let alone an outsider like Shin.
At this time.
Jugo walked in from outside, holding a letter in his hand.
"Orochimaru-sama, I found a ninja from Hoshigakure in the Kingdom of Bear. He seems to have been wandering in the Kingdom of Heaven for a period of time, wanting to find someone who can be hired... Hoshigakure hopes to hire as many ninjas as possible to protect their village."
"Oh? The people of Hoshigakure actually came to our newly created village. They are hungry for food. It seems that there is a big problem."
Orochimaru opened Uchiha Shin and looked at it, his eyes showing a trace of surprise.
"Star meteorite was taken away by the mysterious man... A monk, a man in black... Interesting."
Orochimaru's inner curiosity erupted.
He was full of interest in all forms of unknown.
Just the two of them, and the two of them were enemies, had seriously injured Hoshigakure?
One had to know that the Hoshigakure was publicly regarded as the sixth largest Ninja Village, and had the two superior ninja, Hotaru and Natsu.
Coupled with the support of a large number of other Ninjas, they were actually unable to protect the treasures that their family had enshrined for so many years?
"Hmph, an enemy that surpasses the Elite Jonins?"
Orochimaru was very interested and planned to take a look around.
He also wanted to see if there were any youths that could be cultivated in Hoshigakure, and if there were any, he would take them to his Otogakure.
Orochimaru changed his appearance, pondered for a moment, and left with Uchiha Shin.
Before he left, he locked him up in prison so that he wouldn't go out of control and start a massacre.
He was happy to be locked up, hiding in the prison, patiently waiting for Orochimaru to come back.
The Country of Tian was very close to the Country of Bear, so he only needed to go east.
On the other side.
The two of them had just looted a bounty place in the Country of Earth and were currently cursing each other as they went back and forth.
"Bastard, you wanted to kill me just now, right? Otherwise, why did you work so hard on my back when I was killing people"
"Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about? Everything has to be based on evidence... I clearly saw that you were struggling, so I decided to help you take care of your enemies."
"Then, you took care of me along the way and explained to the leader that you accidentally killed me Bastard, I'll kill you!"
"If you can kill me, then come at me."
Towards Hiruko's questioning, Kakuzu only let out a sneer.
Isn't attacking your own people a basic operation?
He attacked the enemy. If you can't dodge, then blame me? You yourself were killed for being incompetent. Blame me?
"What a pity. I was already planning to take your corpse to exchange for money." Kakuzu sneered.
Hiruko's expression became even colder. "You offended the Fire Nation and the Earth Nation's bounty. You still want to take money?"
"It doesn't matter. Aren't there three other big countries?" Kakuzu didn't care at all.
The two of them carried several suitcases and planned to return to the Rain Country.
Weng!
A chakra fluctuation came from the ring.
"Eh? Leader is gathering us? Could it be that there are new people?"
"Good, I was just about to ask Konan what happened! I heard from Zetsu that she blew up a million exploding talismans?"
"Ah, don't ask too much about this kind of thing. I only mentioned it to you before. I feel that that guy is unreliable."
"Bullsh * t! I'm in charge of Akatsuki's finances. I worked so hard to earn money for the organization, so of course I have to ask!"
In the dark, empty cave.
One figure after another appeared on the fingers of the Gedo Statue.
"Konan, carefully tell me about the explosion talisman." Kakuzu's expression was unkind.
Konan frowned. "I don't need to explain anything to you."
"What? I worked so hard to earn money for the organization, but this is the explanation you gave me?"
"Kakuzu, the Explosive Talisman used by Konan is her personal secret technique. Not using the money you painstakingly saved," The Tendo, Pain said.
"Hmph, so that's how it is... So, there are obviously such rich guys in the organization, and you still want me to work hard to earn money?"
"No, only I can use the explosive talisman I made using paper escape." Konan said coldly.
She had gone out on a mission, but she had encountered such a painful failure. Her mood was naturally extremely bad.
Sasori that she had recruited was also killed by a fellow who called himself a sage.
It would be strange if Konan was in a good mood. She had always been brooding over this failure.
"So, why did you gather us this time?" He tilted his head and looked at Pain.
Pain said coldly, "The first thing is to investigate the matter regarding the Eye Organization. I suspect that this organization has something to do with the two guys who can summon meteorites from before."
"The second thing is about the Hoshigakure. This village has issued an employment mission. The content is to protect Hoshigakure. Kakuzu and Hiruko, the two of you go and carry out the mission. Be sure to bring the money back."
Pain slowly said, "Although the other party did not directly issue a mission to us, Akatsuki, we must forcibly accept it. After the mission is completed, we can force them to pay."
With that, Tiandao Peien decisively ended the meeting.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It was raining heavily in the Rain Country.
Pain was sitting on a huge statue that had been built not long ago.
This statue was a building that imitated the appearance of King of Hell's head. It had a big mouth and a long tongue.
Pain was sitting on the tongue, quietly overlooking the village.
"Haven't you come out of your failure yet?" Pain said, not turning his head.
Konan slowly appeared and stood behind Pain, her face still filled with unwillingness. "It's not that I can't afford to lose, it's just that I can't accept such a defeat... Sasori clearly agreed to join the organization, but it was killed by the enemy in front of me."
As soon as she thought of the mysterious woman, Konan gritted her teeth.
However, it had to be said that her strength was truly formidable.
"I'm very interested in this eye organization. They actually want to rope me in to join them..."
Pain's expression was indifferent.
He called himself a god, but in the end, a person who called himself a sage appeared. This was ridiculous, arrogant to the point of being extraordinary.
Konan asked, "How do you plan to deal with this organization after we find it?"
"As long as they can help us achieve peace, I can forgive their offense. If the other party refuses, there is no need to be polite."
Pain slowly stood up, his eyes surging with eye power that made one's heart palpitate.
Ever since he fought with those two blind and mysterious enemies, he had more ideas on how to unearth the potential of these eyes.
At the same time, his strength also increased at an astonishing speed.
It wouldn't be long before the entire Ninja World would personally experience the terror of this god.
"Peace..." Pain opened his hand and pointed at the sky, muttering in a low voice.
...
Hoshigakure became more and more lively.
A small number of hired teams arrived one after another.
"Thank you very much, everyone. The mission content is to protect the Hoshigakure for two months and help our village survive this most difficult period. After the matter is completed, we will offer 80 million taels of bounty and send it to you according to your contribution points."
Sandaime Akaboshi said in a low voice.
Orochimaru fabricated the identity of the top Ninja of the Otogakure and listened quietly. He also represented Otogakure and talked with Sandaime Akaboshi.
In fact, he was very interested in the crater, and he was not that interested in money.
"How interesting, is this battlefield from before?"
Orochimaru stood in the crater, looking around with a pair of sinister eyes. He bent down from time to time, looking at the things on the ground.
What if he could find the DNA of a strong person?
"What are you doing?" Several figures appeared in front of Orochimaru, their voices ice-cold.
Orochimaru looked up, a smile hanging on his lips: "Hey hey hey, Konoha, is it strange for me to check the battlefield? Maybe I can find some useful information. Or, do you, who came from the Great Village, not even allow our little village to do this kind of thing?"
Hmph, Root's ninja... Konoha actually sent Root's ninja.
Is this Minato's order, or... is it Yuuji's order?
Orochimaru became alert.
Beside him, Shin slowly raised his head, looking a little eager, but Orochimaru pressed his shoulder and calmed down.
Root's ninja was silent for a moment before retreating silently.
"Orochimaru-sama, why don't we deal with them on the spot? It's not like we can't do it." Shin looked up and asked.
"Tsk, believe, calm down. Don't be blinded by the sudden power." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.
He stared at the group of Root Ninjas who had left, and a trace of suspicion flashed through his eyes.
Then, he continued to pick and pick from the stones on the ground.
"Otogakure..."
In the distance, Yuuji took off the mask on his face and casually placed it on the table, looking in the direction of Orochimaru and Shin.
That guy is Orochimaru, right? This is too interesting.
This guy still ran to the Country of Tian and established Otogakure.
"Do you want to deal with the other party?" On the side, Yamato asked in a low voice.
"I'm not interested in Orochimaru, but I'm very interested in the youth next to him."
Yuuji touched his chin. Being able to follow Orochimaru directly, he must be very valued by Orochimaru...
Time passed.
Yuuji's main body had already officially met the young Sumaru. He had easily obtained the trust of this child.
While hiding his tracks, he secretly taught Sumaru so that he could come into contact with the power of radiation.
The Peacock Technique had its merits. At the very least, being able to fly freely was very practical. It could also allow Sumaru to continue learning.
"Sir, what should we do now? Should we directly betray the village?" Natsu asked respectfully.
"Betrayed the village? That's not necessary. Even if I told you two to betray the village, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to bear it. Don't try to hide it from my eyes. You have deep feelings for this village and the children in the village."
Yuuji smiled and shook his head.
Under the mask, the pressure of the left eye was constantly bursting out.
It made Natsu and Hotaru feel their hearts palpitate. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they felt that the eye power of this left eye was slowly rising.
"A very interesting guy has appeared. Soon, your family of three can find an opportunity to go missing." Yuuji said.
He sensed that the guy who had made a spiritual contract with him was getting closer and closer.
I didn't expect Akatsuki to be involved in this. Are they so short of money?
But it doesn't matter.
Kakuzu and Hiruko arrived at Hoshigakure and looked at this apparently down and out village.
"It's here. If not for the money, I wouldn't come to this kind of place. There is no such thing as a blood limit."
Hiruko was a little impatient.
Ever since he merged with Pakura, it had been a long time since he had obtained the blood limit he liked.
Right now, he wanted to fuse with the top blood limit, such as Sharingan, Byakugan, and the like.
After entering the village.
Kakuzu looked at the other teams with a cold gaze.
"Konoha and an unknown village took the task before us, hehe..."
"What do you want to do?"
"Kill all these guys, and all the rewards will belong to us. After we get the money, we will slaughter this village and plunder all the belongings. We can earn at least one or two hundred million..."
Kakuzu was meticulous in his calculations.
Hiruko was a little speechless. "You are becoming more and more unruly now. Are you planning to get rid of his patron? If the leader knows, he won't let you off."
"Stupid. As long as we can take back enough money, the leader won't say anything. Because what we do is beneficial to his goal. That is right!"
Kakuzu snorted coldly.
As long as he could get money, what was the rule?
He had turned from a bounty hunter to a swindler, and now he was planning to do the business of bandits. He had no psychological pressure at all.
As long as he could get money, it was right. Money was the truth.
After the two impatiently made contact with Sandaime, they immediately found a place to set up camp, looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Lord Sandaime, these two look very dangerous..."
"En, I can feel that these two are experts."
Sandaime Akaboshi revealed a helpless expression.
Akatsuki? He had never heard of this organization, but it was enough if they were strong. Hoshigakure could not afford to offend anyone now.
The only people in the Hoshigakure that could take action were the two elite Jonins, Natsu and Hotaru. Moreover, the couple did not know what was going on. Recently, their movements and behavior were somewhat different from usual.
They were probably worried about the current situation of the village.
After dozens of minutes, Hiruko, who had figured out the situation, returned.
"On Konoha's side, there is a group of Root's Ninjas. They are relatively difficult to deal with, but there are only two people in that group that I have never heard of." Hiruko said.
Kakuzu sneered. "It's fine if it's Konoha's group. They sent a group of ninjas. It is obvious that they are sincere in earning this money. What happened to those two fellows from the Otogakuree? There are only two people who are here to swindle money?"
Hiruko kindly reminded him, "We are also two people."
"Noisy! How can this be the same?"
Kakuzu got up and twisted one of his hands. He listened to the soft sounds of the black threads rubbing against each other on his wrist and immediately revealed a sneer.
"For money, you have to sincerely earn it. Only then will you be able to earn more money. These two guys are obviously here to swindle money. You have to get rid of them as soon as possible!"
Hiruko shrugged. "Then you go kill them. I'll watch from the side. Those who don't have the blood limit can not attract my interest."
"Hmph, whatever you want."
The two of them moved and found Orochimaru and Shin.
Kakuzu saw that the two were still searching for something in the crater. He looked down at them for a moment and immediately made his move.
"Fire Release, Zukokku!"
Boom!
A mask flew out of his body and opened his mouth towards the crater. He spat out a shocking flame!
The huge fireball covered the entire crater.
Kakuzu sneered as he looked down at the scene in front of him. "They were attacked by my head. These two third-rate ninjas are dead for sure. The next thing we need to do is to deal with the person who dealt with Konoha."
Hiruko glanced down. "You two are really pitiful. You met a murderer like Kakuzu..."
"Hey, you make it sound like you are a kind monk. You have also killed a lot of people!" Kakuzu snorted.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The intense flames burned everything, and the terrifying high temperature rose, triggering the panic of countless people.
Many people of Hoshigakure did not understand why these people who had accepted the employment would suddenly start fighting.
Under the orders of Sandaime Akaboshi, they all distanced themselves, not daring to approach, allowing these people to fight.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
"I know, believe me, don't panic..."
Orochimaru looked up and immediately used the Summoning Spell, summoning several giant snakes to block this Fire Release spell.
After the flames dispersed.
Kakuzu was already planning on how to kill Konoha.
However, Hiruko revealed an astonished expression as he looked at the scene before him in astonishment. "What's going on? These large snakes that suddenly appeared... aren't they the giant snakes from the Dragon Cave?"
It had been a very, very long time since he had seen these kinds of snakes.
As far as he knew, only Orochimaru was the best at controlling this kind of snake!
Hiruko's expression changed, could it be...
"Heh, I was only planning to collect some materials, but I didn't expect to be attacked by you... Hiruko, it's been such a long time since we last met. You've come together with a very dangerous guy..."
A hoarse voice came out.
Along with the banging sounds, the burnt giant snakes all turned into smoke and disappeared.
Orochimaru protected Shin behind him, and looked at an old acquaintance with a strange expression.
"This kind of summoning technique, this voice... Could it be that you are Orochimaru? How could it be? You should have been killed by that guy Yuuji!"
Hiruko widened his eyes.
Orochimaru casually tore off the human skin on his face, revealing his face: "Haha, I won't die so easily. In this world, the person who can kill me doesn't exist."
Shin also revealed Sharingan, his face gloomy: "Orochimaru-sama, it seems that I have to find a way to kill these two rude guys."
Kakuzu, who had already turned around, turned back and looked down with interest. "I thought it was just two trash fish, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good. I met a valuable guy... Orochimaru, one of Konoha's Sannin, and you actually joined hand with Otogakure. You're really in a sorry state."
Orochimaru was too lazy to explain.
He didn't know Kakuzu, but he could feel a hint of threat from this guy.
Looking at Kakuzu who had jumped into the pit and walked in step by step, Orochimaru decisively made a hand seal and cast Edo Tensei.
Rumble!
A coffin emerged from the ground, and on the coffin board, there was a large character "Darkness".
Kakuzu approached step by step, his desire to kill rising.
Kakuzu sneered, "How dare you stand in front of me. Orochimaru, you are really a good junior. You may not understand me, but back then, the battle with Shoudai Hokage..."
At this time, the coffin suddenly opened.
A figure stepped out of the coffin.
As he stepped forward, he only listened to half of the words and immediately replied, "That's right. I didn't expect that there would be someone in Ninja World who was talking about my great achievements? The battle between this old man and Shoudai Hokage was earth-shattering. It made this old man very happy. He even personally experienced Shoudai Hokage's strength!"
"??!!"
