At the port dock of Muku Town.
Orochimaru and Whitebeard face each other, this is their third meeting.
The first time they met, Orochimaru was very confident in front of Whitebeard.
The second time they met, Orochimaru was very nervous in front of Whitebeard.
The third time they met, Orochimaru felt fear towards Whitebeard.
Three completely different emotional changes made Orochimaru's forehead break out in cold sweat.
The distance between the two is just less than five meters. As long as Whitebeard is willing, Orochimaru's body is likely to die on the spot.
You should know that Orochimaru's "Reincarnation of the Dead" has a time limit. Every time this technique is successful, it requires three years of cooling before it can be reincarnated into the next body.
That is to say, if Orochimaru's body is killed by Whitebeard, then the next time he wants to reincarnate, he will have to wait for more than a year.
Because, this body of his was reincarnated more than a year ago.
As for running away?
Orochimaru did think of many ways to escape in just a few seconds, but no matter which method, it requires a certain amount of time to prepare.
Among them, there are many methods that must sacrifice this body of his.
The safest way is to let Manda use the "Reverse Summoning Technique" in the Ryuchi Cave. In this way, he can easily escape and appear in the Ryuchi Cave Cave instantly.
But he accidentally offended Manda last time.
He even almost killed Manda...
Will Manda save him this time?
"Gurararararara! Little ninja, you and that Uchiha kid are really hard to kill!" Whitebeard looked at Orochimaru with hollow eyes, "You almost died in the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates several times, do you still want to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates persistently? Want to challenge me, Whitebeard?"
Orochimaru's back was also wet with cold sweat, he could only squeeze out a smile to calm himself down.
"Can I say... this is just a coincidence?"
Orochimaru said, "The Akatsuki organization just asked me to investigate the information of Jinchuriki, I didn't know I would meet you here."
Revealing some information about the Akatsuki organization, for Orochimaru, there is no psychological burden at all.
And what he said was all true, who could have thought that he would meet Whitebeard here?
If Orochimaru had known this day would come...
He would definitely refuse the task assigned to him by the organization leader.
Even if it means tearing his face with Akatsuki.
Orochimaru would not hesitate.
Whitebeard hooked the corner of his mouth, "Little brat... your name is Orochimaru, right?"
"Hehe... being remembered by such a man as Whitebeard is the greatest honor for me, Orochimaru!" Orochimaru replied to Whitebeard's question.
Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Gurararararara! So, do you want to run away this time, little brat?"
Orochimaru shook his head, "I know that you are staring at me closely. As long as I show the slightest sign of running away, I will die here."
Orochimaru really wanted to run, but he knew he couldn't run, at least he couldn't escape under the current situation.
Because, the one staring at him is not just Whitebeard.
There is also Tsunade next to him, a Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Shisui behind him.
All four directions, front, back, left, and right, were blocked. His only escape routes were the sky, underground, and space-time Ninjutsu.
But looking at the devastation behind Whitebeard, Orochimaru found that neither underground nor the sky were good escape routes.
Surrounded by the Whitebeard Pirates...
Even though he had dozens of escape methods in his mind.
There was no reliable way for him to escape perfectly.
"Tie him up!" Whitebeard said to a group of his children: "Put him in the bottom cabin of Moby Dick, use your ninja's so-called sealing technique to seal him."
Whitebeard grinned: "Since this guy is a member of the so-called Akatsuki, capturing him alive might be able to extort some money from that organization, Gurarararararara!"
This is something Whitebeard often does.
He would often attack navy bases when he was on the sea, then tie up all the navy inside, and ask the navy headquarters for ransom.
For Whitebeard, sometimes a living enemy is more valuable than a dead one.
"Pops, we can also use him to break through Kimimaro's psychological defense! And..." Naruto suddenly interjected: "He once claimed to know a forbidden technique called Edo Tensei!"
"Oh?" Whitebeard looked at Naruto: "What is Edo Tensei?"
Whitebeard knew that if Naruto suddenly brought up this thing, it meant that Edo Tensei must be very complicated.
Naruto was about to explain, but found that he had forgotten what to say.
He pondered.
"Edo Tensei is a forbidden technique that allows the dead to return to the world in a special way." Kakashi helped explain: "It is said to be a very cruel Ninjutsu because every time a dead person is summoned, a living person must be killed as a sacrifice."
"It's not a cruel Ninjutsu at all!" Naruto retorted: "What if the sacrifices we use are all our enemies? Or, are those who deserve to die?"
Naruto muttered and complained: "A group of ninjas in the ninja world have killed so many people, and they regard this Ninjutsu as a forbidden technique. Isn't this double standard?"
Kakashi was speechless.
Then, Naruto continued: "Pops, you told me that you have a son named Ace who died at the hands of the navy. So can we use Edo Tensei... to summon him from the underworld?"
Whitebeard raised his eyebrows.
To be honest...
Whitebeard was tempted.
If the one who died was Whitebeard himself, then Whitebeard wouldn't want his silly children to disturb him in heaven.
But if the one who died was his son, Whitebeard indeed wanted his son to live again.
You can say he is selfish, but which pirate isn't selfish!
Whitebeard is not a saint, and he doesn't want to be a saint.
He is just a pirate.
He is just a Pops who wants his silly sons and silly daughters to live well.
Speaking of which...
It seems that Orochimaru, this little brat cannot be used as a hostage to exchange for a large sum of money from the Akatsuki.
Because the value of this little brat is much greater than money.
It cannot be measured by money.
"Gurarararara!" Whitebeard clapped his hands: "Just lock this little brat up! Kakashi, Tsunade, from now on, you two will watch this little brat. Don't let him run away!"
"Okay, Pops." Although Kakashi felt that he was not Orochimaru's opponent, he felt that there should be no problem in watching Orochimaru.
"Hey, hey, Old Man Whitebeard, I'm not a member of your Whitebeard Pirates, don't use that tone of dividing cotton clothes to give me orders!" Tsunade just complained, but didn't say much else.
She accepted Whitebeard's arrangement by default.
Because Tsunade really wanted to keep a close eye on Orochimaru, to prevent him from causing harm in the ninja world.
Only Orochimaru had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
He began to realize that he seemed to have become a prisoner of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Not to mention whether he can escape in the future.
At least he can't escape now.
"Hehe... It's really fate playing tricks on people!" Orochimaru was silent for a long time, and could only utter such a sentence.
He didn't have any other options.
He could only admit his bad luck.
"Pops... I'm back!" A sudden voice attracted everyone's attention.
It was Kisame who had returned.
Kisame held a damaged black box in his hand, attracting many people's attention.
Orochimaru also took a curious look, his eyes showing a bit of different color.
Kisame explained, "This is what Pops asked me to go and get. If I'm not mistaken, this is the body of that puppet master."
"Ah? This thing is the body of the 'puppet master' who claims to have created a puppet that can deal with Pops?" Uchiha Izumi leaned over curiously, "Isn't there a heart inside? Can a heart control a puppet?"
Kisame nodded and said, "When I found him, he was still controlling this black box trying to escape. He probably used a special technique to seal his soul in his heart."
"There's such a technique?" Tsunade was also a bit surprised, "If you have such a magical technique, why not become a medical ninja instead of running to the Akatsuki organization to be a puppet master?"
Naruto was surprised, "How did this guy start talking in the first place, he doesn't have a mouth here, right?"
Kakashi guessed, "Maybe it's through a special way to control the puppet, and then use the puppet to make a sound?"
The group of people from the Whitebeard Pirates chatted and then locked their eyes on Orochimaru.
Because in their eyes, no one knows better than Orochimaru what the puppet master is all about!
Indeed, Orochimaru is Sasori's partner.
Although the two have always been at odds, Orochimaru does know Sasori very well.
Until Whitebeard's gaze also glanced at Orochimaru, Orochimaru had to be forced to explain, "His name is 'Sasori', he is a puppet master from Sunagakure Village, very good at using puppets and toxins."
"The heart in the black box should be his real body. The reason I know this information about him is because more than a year ago, Whitebeard smashed his puppet body to pieces."
Orochimaru paused, he continued, "Don't look at him now that he can't move. Once he is stuffed into a specially made puppet, he can control that puppet and 'live' again."
Kisame suddenly remember "Sasori? A somewhat familiar name, anyone who makes me feel a bit familiar must have done something earth-shattering, right?"
"Hehe... He assassinated the Third Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village and is an S-class rogue ninja from Sunagakure Village." Orochimaru had no psychological burden when selling his teammates.
Sasori: "..."
Damn Orochimaru!
This disgusting guy revealed all his secrets in just a few words, what's the difference between what this bastard did and being a traitor to the Akatsuki organization?
But even if he wanted to curse Orochimaru now, he couldn't do it, because his heart couldn't speak.
As for why he could hear what Orochimaru was saying...
It might be the magic of Ninjutsu!
...
And so, the Whitebeard Pirates had a few more prisoners, namely five Anbu ninjas from Kumogakure Village, and two members of the Akatsuki organization.
The Anbu ninjas from Kumogakure Village were tied up by the Whitebeard Pirates without any resistance.
After receiving simple treatment from Tsunade, their severe injuries were barely alleviated.
At least their injuries were not life-threatening.
Then, the five of them were thrown into the prison of Moby Dick, becoming "neighbors" with Samui and Yugito.
Nine ninjas from Kumogakure Village looked at each other in the prison of Moby Dick.
It was not until then that these Kumogakure Anbu realized that the missing Two-Tails Jinchuriki and Jonin Samui...
Were actually captured by the Whitebeard Pirates!
"Was it Raikage-sama who sent you to investigate our whereabouts?"
Yugito sighed slightly, she recognized who they were by looking at the attire of these Kumogakure Anbu.
Several Kumogakure Anbu fell silent.
They tacitly acknowledged her guess.
Yugito said: "Even if you find me, it's useless, because the Tailed Beast inside me... has been taken away by the Whitebeard Pirates."
Yugito's words were shocking.
Her brief words made the eyes of the five Anbu ninjas from Kumogakure Village bulge.
They needed some time to digest this heavy news.
The news of the Jinchuriki's disappearance was only recently reported to the Fourth Raikage.
How come they turned their heads and even the Tailed Beast of their Kumogakure Village was gone?
If Raikage-sama knew about this...
Would he be furious like thunder?
Then, she smiled bitterly and helplessly said: "As far as I know, the Whitebeard Pirates still want to sell me to Kumogakure Village as the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Because they said, as long as the people of Kumogakure Village don't know that I am no longer a Jinchuriki, Kumogakure Village will spend a lot of money to ransom me."
Five Kumogakure Anbu: "..."
This Whitebeard Pirate group is too cunning!
They really deserve to be called pirates, don't they?
"But, Yugito-sama, after your Tailed Beast was taken away, can you still..." An Anbu from Kumogakure Village stopped talking here, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.
Yugito explained: "I was indeed going to die, but the Whitebeard Pirates saved me with unknown method."
At this time, Samui, who had not spoken, calmly said: "The next target of the Whitebeard Pirates... should be our Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure Village."
"They seem to want to collect all the Tailed Beasts in the entire Ninja World for some reason."
Just as they were talking, suddenly there were footsteps coming.
A group of ninjas from Kumogakure Village immediately fell silent, turned their heads to look, and found that the person coming was the Sannin Orochimaru!
"Hehe... Do you need to seal my chakra and acupuncture points? Isn't that a bit too cautious?" Orochimaru ignored a group of ninjas from Kumogakure Village, he slowly turned his head and looked at Tsunade and Kakashi behind him.
"Tsk, don't think I don't know you have a lot of escape methods, I don't want to see an empty cell first thing tomorrow morning." Tsunade pursed her lips.
As Orochimaru's teammate, she knew Orochimaru too well.
"Then," Tsunade's mouth hooked, revealing a smirk, "Orochimaru, I know you care about Kimimaro, you guys will meet soon."
"I wonder what he would think when he sees you in such a mess?"
"Oh! Right!"
Tsunade seemed to think of something, she continued with a smile, "You really want to avoid Jiraiya's search, right? Don't worry, you'll be fine hiding in the Whitebeard Pirates' prison, that fool Jiraiya definitely won't find you."
Orochimaru: "..."
...
Meanwhile, on the deck of Moby Dick.
"This is the information Biwa Juzo gave us."
Naruto held an open scroll in his hand, the scroll was filled with tiny characters like mosquitoes, all of which were information recorded by Biwa Juzo during his time in the Akatsuki organization.
Naruto just wanted to read the content of the information in front of everyone, but found that there were many words he didn't recognize.
He was suddenly a bit embarrassed and quickly handed the scroll in his hand to Hinata next to him.
Hinata blushed and took the scroll.
Although she was the same age as Naruto, she had received some education before entering the ninja school because she came from a large family.
Naturally, she is not as illiterate as Naruto.
Hinata read the content of the scroll, "The Akatsuki organization is a black organization with the nature of mercenaries, the economic source of the organization, generally doing mercenary tasks that can't be seen..."
"The core members known so far do not exceed ten people, all led by a person named 'Pain', every member of the core, the strength is at least elite Jonin..."
"..."
Hinata read all the content of the information on the scroll in one breath, making her mouth dry.
And Kisame, Izumi, Shisui and others next to her were all listening to this information very seriously.
"The Akatsuki member mentioned in the information called Kakuzu, I seem to have heard of his name." Uchiha Shisui said, "It seems to be a very famous mercenary ninja in the ninja world, those who are targeted by him, basically will be removed from the ninja world."
"I didn't expect this guy to join the Akatsuki organization." Shisui sighed, "This is a huge hidden monster! We underestimated the Akatsuki organization before."
Kisame's face was indifferent, he showed a grim smile, and said, "The so-called huge monster, if it bumps into our Whitebeard Pirates, it will be as fragile as an egg."
Kisame really had the confidence to say this.
Because the Akatsuki organization in Whitebeard's hands...
Has suffered countless times.
"Also... they seem to be interested in the tailed beasts as well. Biwa Juzo guessed in the information that they want to seize the tailed beasts of the ninja world. We and the Akatsuki organization may be competitors!" Shisui said helplessly.
Naruto rubbed his hands, "Hehe, let's see who is faster! Let's set off now to find the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"
...
