However, Kimimaro knew that it was almost impossible to achieve such an extravagant wish.
Even Orochimaru, a top-notch expert, could only occupy a part of Otogakure.
He looked at Haku. This kind boy held an extravagant hope that was too difficult to achieve. The two children next to him opened their big eyes and began to explore the house.
With Otogakure's protection, they should be able to live to a dozen years old.
In this era, it was not easy to live.
"Next, I will explain the rules of our Ninja Village to you." Kimimaro's tone became calm again.
"In Otogakure, you can not do anything to harm the village. You can not leave the village without permission. Every Ninja needs to receive commissions regularly. The village will take out a part of the reward as capital for the construction of the village."
"Yes, I have no problem with that." Haku nodded.
"Since you have joined Otogakure through Orochimaru-sama, you will have special privileges. As long as you carry out more than a certain number of commissions, your strength will also pass the assessment. You can join Oto Ninja's group of five." Kimimaro said.
Before this, Orochimaru had already instructed him to inform Haku of all sorts of matters.
In this regard, Naruto had no objections.
Joining Otogakure was a good protective umbrella for Haku, and at the same time, it was also a place for training.
"Oto Ninja's group of five?"
"Only the best of the younger generation has the chance to join Oto Ninja's group of five and serve Orochimaru sama." When it came to Orochimaru, Kimimaro couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.
It seemed that Orochimaru's reputation was very high.
Haku seemed to see the way he used to follow Zabuza.
They were also willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.
It was a good thing to have someone willing to give up everything to follow.
Because it would make your heart more determined.
At least.
He would not be confused.
"Please advise me." Haku stretched out his right hand and revealed a brilliant smile.
....
"Naruto-kun, this way please." Under the guidance of Orochimaru, Naruto went deep into the experimental base.
"At present, Hollowfication's experiment is progressing smoothly, but Hollow's destructive power is amazing, so I urgently need powerful helpers."
"I have already begun to explore the mysteries between the human soul and Reiatsu. I believe that soon, there will be results."
Bang! The layers of doors opened.
Every floor's door was guarded by Ninjas, and the strength of these Ninjas was probably different from that of the Chunin.
Occasionally, there would be a few Chakra who were comparable to Jonin Ninja.
Although the ability of the guards was not high, it was enough to look down on them in Small Ninja Village.
Along the way, they passed a few small laboratories, and their hearts were bound to the material on the stage.
Naruto also saw a few Shinigami.
Noticing the look in Naruto's eyes, Orochimaru explained, "These are all materials for successfully transforming Shinigami. However, they have retained their memories when they were alive and have a great hatred for us, so we can only control them for the time being."
When they arrived at the last laboratory, through the French window, they could see two Hollows sitting on the ground covered in wounds. In the middle, there was a half-body Hollow.
"The Reiatsu in their bodies is very good." Naruto opened his eyes and was a little surprised.
"They are survivors after killing each other." Orochimaru smiled and said, "I have a feeling that they are not far from Adjuchas, so in the second stage of the experiment, Shinigami will be in the same room as them."
Orochimaru pressed a button, and then the door opened, pushing a huge cage into it.
Inside the cage, Shinigami was trapped inside.
When they saw Shinigami, the two Hollows immediately boiled.
"Orochimaru!" Shinigami grabbed the pole of the cage with both hands, glaring at Naruto and Orochimaru as he roared furiously.
"This is Shinigami, a Sand Ninja Jonin transformed into." Orochimaru pressed another button, and the cage opened.
The two Hollow rushed forward.
"Doton - Doryūheki's."
The two earth walls quickly rose, but they were instantly shattered by the two Hollow.
The sharp claws passed by and directly split the wood into countless pieces.
"Doton - Dosekiryū."
After forming the seal, the Earth Dragon formed from soil and stone swept towards Hollow.
Bang. Along with Hollow's scream, a powerful impact pushed him to the corner.
The other Hollow quietly moved to the back when the Sand attacked, slashing with his claw.
"Clang!" Asauchi suddenly appeared in the Sand's hand, blocking the heavy blow. The backhand hacked at Hollow's chest, leaving a wound. Haku's colored Reishi continuously flowed along with the wound.
Naruto and Orochimaru watched the battle below with relish, and gave comments.
"This Shinigami's strength is not bad. It is obvious that he has awakened for a period of time. The problem of killing one Hollow with the cooperation of Ninjutsu and Slashing should not be a problem, but his opponents are two Hollow."
"In comparison, Hollow can only be regarded as a brainless beast. He has a strong strength, but he can't fulfill it."
"I think that this Shinigami should be able to replace Hollow. What do you think, Naruto?" Orochimaru looked at the battle in the field with great interest and asked with a smile.
At this moment, it was as if they were watching an interesting movie.
"These two Hollow will be killed," Naruto said with a smile.
"I believe in humans. No, Shinigami's wisdom."
The battle came to an end.
The Sand Ninjas constantly used Kawarimi no Jutsu to dodge Hollow's attacks. At the same time, under the harassment, the two Hollows also left wounds on the other side from time to time.
He first used one Clone to trick one of Hollow away, and then Sword cut off the other Hollow's head.
* whoosh * He then used Reiatsu to condense countless Kunai and threw them at the last Hollow.
"Saton - Sunabokori." The entire area was soon covered with small sandstorms.
"Saton - Sunayari." Then came the sharp sand spear condensed from the sand.
In the middle of the sandstorm, the last Hollow blocked Kunai with his claws.
But in the next moment, the aura was locked, and the sand spear that could penetrate everything flew towards Hollow's head.
"Damn, it seems that I still underestimated Shinigami's wisdom." Orochimaru spread his hands helplessly: "But these precious experimental subjects can't die like this."
"Doton - Doryūheki." The tall earth wall stood straight, blocking in front of Hollow.
"Zzzt zzt zzt zzzt!" The sand spear stabbed into the earth wall, bringing with it a tremendous amount of power as it continued to thrust forward.
Unfortunately, Orochimaru had Kage Rank strength after all, so the earth's current wall created by him was still not something that a sand spear could pierce through.
"Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō!" At the same time, Naruto chanted softly.
Six pieces of light condensed out of thin air, like sharp swords stabbing into the Sand's side, forming a subtle connection. The Reiatsu contained within was so familiar.
The Sand's expression changed, only feeling that Chakra and Reiatsu within his body seemed to be suppressed, unable to be used.
"This!!" He raised his head in shock and looked at the smiling Naruto.
He had not expected this.
There was actually someone in this world who possessed Reiatsu like him and maintained their intelligence!
"As expected of Naruto-kun. Just Clone alone was able to use Kidō, who could control Shinigami." Orochimaru looked at Naruto with some surprise, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
Although Shinigami was almost exhausted by the two Hollow.
However, the ability to control Shinigami so freely was not to be underestimated.
"Naruto-kun seems to have become stronger again, as expected of Konoha's number one genius." Orochimaru praised softly.
"Number one genius? I don't dare to accept that." Naruto shook his head.
"It's just controlling an exhausted Shinigami."
At this moment, the cage once again controlled the unwilling Shinigami and pushed him out of the big door. The only one left, Hollow, immediately ran towards the other Hollow's corpse, swallowing and chewing.
"Naruto-kun, I'm very curious. When are you going to leave Konoha?" Orochimaru looked at Naruto and asked with a smile.
"Leave? It's not the time yet." Naruto shook his head. "Root's intelligence team is still useful. At this stage, there are still many benefits to staying in Root."
Naruto was still waiting for Oni no Kuni's commission.
He wanted to rely on Root's information to find the secret hidden in Oni no Kuni.
Perhaps, he could find a way to the Pure Land.
"Root's intelligence is really good, but even so, they have a lot of information that they can't grasp." Orochimaru licked his lips and said hoarsely.
"Orochimaru, besides Konoha, are there any other dangerous forces in Shinobi world?" Naruto asked.
At present, he was already preparing to leave Konoha.
Before that, he needed to understand the distribution of the Shinobi world's forces, so that he could find a relatively safe land for his future strength.
Hearing Naruto's question, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of reminiscence. He said slowly,
"I wonder if Naruto-kun has heard of the Akatsuki organization?"
