Orochimaru was now puzzled by the inexplicable death of the snake he had summoned from the Ryuchi Cave.
Although that snake was of little value to him, and the owner of the Ryuchi Cave, the White Snake Sage, wouldn't care about a small snake that was low in strength and only worthy of being used as food, and he could always use his summoning technique to summon a new one out of the Ryuchi Cave, he felt a little uneasy in his heart at the idea of it inexplicably dying like that.
Because that snake was his experimental subject, a strengthened snake that had gained an extremely strong sneaking ability and mastered the Earth Release ability through his soft modification technique, it was impossible for ordinary perception ninjas to discover it, and it was also difficult for ordinary perception jutsu to be effective against it.
Who discovered it and killed it instantly while it was lurking underground?
Curious in his mind, Orochimaru immediately made a seal to create a shadow clone and instructed the shadow clone to check out the situation.
He then proceeded to focus on the experiment at hand.
In a short while, Orochimaru's shadow clone arrived in the snake hole where the viper had died, and not minding the dirt, he used his hands to pick apart the broken body of the viper, trying to find the cause of the viper's death from the body.
However, the more he examined the viper's corpse, the more doubts he had in his heart.
He muttered under his breath, "Strange, I didn't find any traces of Ninjutsu, the cause of death should be an unexplained explosion inside, what kind of power would cause a sudden explosion inside the viper's body, and there are no other traces of chakra, that would indicate that this isn't caused by a Ninjutsu, is it some kind of peculiar Bloodline Limit's ability?"
Orochimaru shadow clone's brain was running at high speed, trying to find a Bloodline Limit ability that matched the cause of Viper's death from the various strange and bizarre Bloodline Limits known to him, but in the end, he was not omnipotent and omniscient, and was unable to find a matching Bloodline Limit ability.
Unable to identify the murderer, Orochimaru's shadow clone suddenly turned his head in the direction of the orphanage.
At the same time, Kirito saw the Orochimaru shadow clone looking over through the White Zetsu clone's White Eyes, and sneered, "This guy is really sharp as always, but he shouldn't have found out who killed the Viper, he's just being suspicious."
To be honest, he hadn't really thought that the viper was Orochimaru's summoning beast.
He just thought that the viper with chakra was somewhat close to the orphanage and was very large, and thought it would pose a threat to the people in the orphanage, which is why he chose it to be the subject of Ketsuryūgan's experiments, and he didn't expect it to accidentally bring Orochimaru out of the woods.
However, he knew through Ketsuryūgan's blood perception ability that the person who came here to find out the cause of Viper's death was just one of Orochimaru's shadow clones.
Now, in addition to soul perception, he gained a second perception ability that could distinguish between shadow clones.
"Spirit Transformation Technique? No, Spirit Transformation Technique only possesses the ability to obliterate the soul, it's impossible to trigger a corpse to explode from the inside, unless Kirito develops a jutsu based on Spirit Transformation Technique that can make the soul explode.
But this possibility is extremely low, even if Kirito is heavenly talented, but he learned Spirit Transformation Technique only half a year, to be able to master it is already considered astounding, if he can then use it to develop a jutsu that can make souls explode, that would be too unbelievable."
Orochimaru Shadow Clone Technique shook his head as he remembered Kirito, the strongest person in the orphanage, and then the Spirit Transformation Technique that Kirito had mastered.
He didn't think that the Viper was killed by Kirito with the Spirit Transformation Technique, but he still suspected that Kirito was the most likely person to have killed the Viper.
Because around here, the orphanage was the closest power to Viper's death.
Nowadays, because of Kirito's connections, the orphanage has changed greatly in appearance long ago and is not just a place in Konoha with a very low sense of existence, it is now the home base of many young civilian ninjas, and has unconsciously become a young force in Konoha.
And the leader of this force is Kirito.
Orochimaru's shadow clone now guessed that Kirito should have mastered some sort of Bloodline Limit that could kill his target from across the room.
"Interesting, I wish I could have gotten him to join my mission team earlier."
Orochimaru's shadow clone thought excitedly, then couldn't help but spit out his long tongue and lick his mouth.
He then made a seal and disappeared into white smoke.
"Again, so disgusting, it feels like I'm being watched."
Byakugan watched the whole process of Orochimaru's shadow clone's spitting out his tongue with his Byakugan eyes, and suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.
But since Orochimaru had left so cleanly, he didn't have to worry about killing Orochimaru's summoning beast by mistake.
It was a big deal, and if Orochimaru insisted on pursuing it to the end, it was bound to lead to trouble here at the orphanage.
After all, that summoning beast came from the powerful Ryuchi Cave.
Sandaime in all likelihood would see the face of the Ryuchi Cave and send someone to conduct an investigation to give Orochimaru and Ryuji Cave a statement, and he was the focus of the investigation.
"In the future, when I see animals with chakra in their bodies, I can't just casually get them killed, maybe they're some ninja's summoning beast."
Kirito secretly admonished himself.
Next, he began to continue testing the ability of the Ketsuryūgan, he took some blood packets from the lab, poured them all into a basin, and then turned on the Ketsuryūgan.
The next moment, the blood in the basin flew out of the basin under his control, then transformed into various shapes in midair.
He tried to use Ketsuryūgan's blood manipulation ability to make the blood turn into a sharp spike, and then manipulated it to stab down into the ground, but the result was that the blood spike was just a sham, and couldn't pierce into the ground at all.
Kirito wasn't disappointed, because he hadn't used up too much of his Ketsuryūgan chakra to manipulate the blood spike.
That special blood-red Yin Release Chakra was now named by him as Blood Ketsuryūgan Chakra.
This special chakra was the very source of power for the release of Ketsuryūgan's ability, as long as the consumption of this special chakra was increased, Ketsuryūgan's ability would be boosted, and how big the boost would be was unknown for the time being.
He now only knows that when the Ketsuryūgan utilizes Wood Release Chakra or Sage Chakra for opening, the ability of the Ketsuryūgan will be immediately enhanced.
This was because the quality of the Ketsuryūgan chakra born from absorbing the two types of chakra was far higher than that born from absorbing ordinary chakra.
Especially after the Sage Chakra opens the Ketsuryūgan, it allows the Ketsuryūgan to consume a small amount of Ketsuryūgan Chakra to kill Orochimaru's summoning snake from a distance of hundreds of meters.
This ability of Ketsuryūgan to destroy enemies from across the room was now named by him as Ketsuryūgan - Blood Explosion!
Kirito began to consume more of his Ketsuryūgan chakra at once to manipulate the blood, causing it to take the shape of spikes once again.
This time, the blood spikes acted as if they were real iron thorns, digging deep into the ground and showing no signs of collapsing.
Kirito thus obtained the principle that the more Ketsuryūgan chakra consumed, the harder the object shaped using blood would be.
"What if I injected Ketsuryūgan Chakra directly into the blood."
Kirito suddenly thought.
In the original plot, that descendant of the Chinoike clan who awakened the Ketsuryūgan, Chino, had lowered her own blood into the blood-sized pool water, allowing it to spread out in the water, using it to manipulate the pool water to form a powerful blood dragon to attack Sasuke.
He now guessed that those blood might contain Ketsuryūgan chakra.
As soon as he thought of it, a line of blood-red chakra formed from Ketsuryūgan chakra suddenly shot out of his arm and into the mass of blood in front of him.
In a flash, Kirito realized that the blood infused with Ketsuryūgan's chakra was even more closely connected to him, with a feeling of being connected as if it were part of his own body.
With a movement of his heart, the blood instantly transformed into a cold and shiny blood spike, and then ruthlessly stuck into the ground.
Then, the blood transformed into a sharp blood katana.
The blade flashed.
A well-made Kunai in Kirito's hand was instantly sliced in two.
"Interesting, this is the correct way to use the Blood Ketsuryūgan to manipulate blood, by injecting Blood Ketsuryūgan Chakra into fresh blood, not only can I greatly reduce the consumption of Blood Ketsuryūgan Chakra, but I can also make my own manipulation of the blood even further, and the hardness of the object that the blood is shaped into will also increase drastically, and also the fact that the Blood Ketsuryūgan Chakra in the blood does not undergo depletion during the process of me manipulating the blood. It's incredible that they can actually continue to maintain their existence by consuming blood."
Kirito came to this conclusion as he watched him fight with the Ketsuryugan manipulation with the power of the White Zetsu clone's Byakugan on his body.
Finally, there was one more conclusion, and that was that after the blood was infused with Ketsuryūgan chakra, they would not undergo the phenomenon of blood coagulation, and the Ketsuryūgan chakra would automatically prevent that from happening.
"Not bad, not bad, this Ketsuryūgan's blood manipulation ability is no less powerful than even my Special Magnet Release, in a way, it's more powerful than the Special Magnet Release.
Because it is even more deadly, once the blood infused with Ketsuryūgan's chakra injures someone, it is the same as having Ketsuryūgan's chakra infused into the enemy's body.
At that time, another ability of Ketsuryūgan's Flesh Bomb can be activated immediately, as well as Ketsuryūgan's Illusion Technique is also bound to be easier for the enemy to fall for, there is no doubt that Ketsuryūgan's Blood Manipulation Ability is the basic core of Ketsuryūgan's other abilities."
Kirito looked at the blood sphere infused with Ketsuryūgan's chakra in front of him and quickly realized how dangerous it was.
At that moment, he couldn't help but conjure up images in his mind of his future battles on the battlefield utilizing Ketsuryūgan's ability, which were bound to be very bloody and horrifying scenes.
All the blood coming out of the corpses was manipulated by him, and then infused with his Ketsuryūgan chakra, and at his whim, the blood transformed into blood needles, Senbon, Kunai, and other objects to shoot, or it transformed into gigantic blood dragons and waves of blood that swept across the battlefield, and all the enemies who were harmed by his manipulated blood were transformed into flesh bombs that exploded and died.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he just went all the way through the battlefield without a single scratch on his body, with only blood splattered on his body from his enemies' explosions.
By that time, what would the enemies call him?
"I'm not a war maniac, as long as the enemy knows what's going on and is willing to surrender and make reparations, I'll still let them off the hook and won't do anything to indiscriminately kill the innocent."
Kirito shook his head and said, dispelling the gory images he had conjured up in his head before taking out a summoning scroll from his body and using the summoning technique - Absorb to absorb the ball of blood in front of him.
The test of the Ketsuryūgan's eyes ended here for the time being.
"Next, it's time to meet Iwagakure and the other unsuspecting guys, so let's use these guys to properly test the power of the Byakugan."
Kirito closed the Ketsuryūgan's eyes, looked towards the White Zetsu clone, and said with a slight smile.
In the next moment, the White Zetsu clone used the Mayfly Technique to quickly burrow into the ground and flew over in the direction of the Land of Rain.
Kirito's main body, on the other hand, left two shadow clones in the lab to keep up with the lab's work, while he himself quickly left the orphanage and headed towards the hospital.
It was time to ask Tsunade-san for medical jutsu advice again.
Ever since Tsunade had returned to Konoha, she had accepted the job of vice director of the hospital straight away, but in reality, she had more power than Sarutobi Biwako, who was the director.
This was because the heads of the various departments were willing to follow her commands and no longer engaged in private infighting over factions that led to dragging each other down.
With Tsunade around, the efficiency of the hospital was clearly and amazingly improved.
And under Tsunade's special care, he was finally able to break away from the tedious daily outpatient work, get more time to learn about medical knowledge, and still be able to always happily get the opportunity to get Tsunade to open up a private lesson, giving him access to all sorts of precious medical knowledge without the need for all sorts of privileges.
He had learned how to use the Chakra Scalpel in the last few days under Tsunade's instruction, as well as various precious pill formulas for conditioning the body, detoxifying, and enhancing physical fitness. Tsunade had taught him all of them like cabbage.
I have to say, the benefits given by this sister Tsunade are really too much, making him feel extremely happy.
Such a good sister, whom Kirito recognized.
...
In a relatively prosperous border town near the border of Land of Rain and Land of Earth, Kitsuchi, the son of the Sandaime Tsuchikage, was drinking alone in a high-class hotel room.
"Where the hell did this guy run off to, I've been here for a week already, and he actually hasn't been coming to contact me, even if he doesn't come here himself, at least send someone to say how things are going, could it be that he's planning on not making a deal?"
Kitsuchi drank the cup of mulled wine in his hand, thinking very depressed.
He had been stood up for many days. His mood was as bad as the rain outside. He really wanted to find someone to fight with to get rid of the deep resentment in his heart.
However, he was more understanding of the fact that Hattori Masanari stood him up. Their Iwagakure intelligence network was no pushover. There were a large number of Iwagakure spies in this border town which was established because of the border trade between the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain.
For example, the owner behind this high-class inn where he was temporarily staying was someone from Iwagakure.
Therefore, he was well aware that there were already a large number of Konoha and Sunagakure spies gathered in this small border town nowadays.
On top of that, there were several mysterious forces as well as powerful lone warriors operating further down the line.
The reason why all these evil forces had appeared here was undoubtedly because they were eyeing this deal between Iwagakure and Hattori Masanari, and were preparing to sabotage or seize the fruits of this deal.
Kitsuchi had been attacked continuously these days, but fortunately, his own strength and the security forces around him were strong enough to keep him safe.
However, there were several times when Kitsuchi was assassinated, he felt a deadly danger.
This was a sign that there were still ninjas in the shadows strong enough to pose a life-threatening danger to him who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to strike at him, only that none of them chose to do so in the end, or else he certainly wouldn't have been able to stay safe and sound as he was now.
However, in the last few days, the level of assassination was clearly rising, the ninjas and bounty hunters who came to assassinate him were getting stronger and stronger, and their methods were getting more and more defensible.
"Wait for one more day, and go back if we can't wait for anyone else."
Kitsuchi quietly made up his mind when he drank another cup of mulled wine.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue waiting, it was really that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, that powerful ninja who gave him a huge sense of threat would probably be unable to hold back the killing intent in his heart, and would directly strike out at him, an Iwa-nin who was harboring a great deal of benefits.
Out of prudence and identity, this time Iwagakure brought to trade with Hattori Masanari the bargaining chip fell on him.
The bargaining chip in this deal had a large number of Earth Release Ninjutsu in it, including an S-class Earth Release Ninjutsu in it, and its preciousness was self-evident.
As long as he was killed, it was possible to get these precious jutsu from him.
Many assassins came to assassinate him precisely because of this.
Also, as the son of the Sandaime Tsuchikage, he had a noble status, and personally, he was also a powerful elite jōnin in Iwagakure, and the bounty for his head in the underground gold exchange was very high, as high as 120 million.
As long as you kill him, obtain his head, and then successfully get to the underground gold exchange, you will immediately be able to get rich overnight.
Kitsuchi had a good capacity for alcohol, but after drinking five bottles of spirits in a row, he seemed to be a little drunk, his face was flushed red, and his eyes were a little confused.
But the next moment, his eyes that were originally a little confused instantly regained clarity, and became sharp, fiercely looking towards the shadows of the room.
Just as he was about to make a move to use some kind of powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu to force out the guest who had suddenly appeared in the shadows, a figure that he had been waiting for day and night came out of the shadows.
"It's been a long time, Kitsuchi-san."
Kirito greeted Kitsuchi with a smile through his White Zetsu clone cloaked in the vest that was Hattori Masanari.
"Hmph, it has indeed been a long time, I thought I'd never see you again, do you think you have so much face that you can keep us Iwagakure waiting for you to make a deal? Hattori Masanari, our Iwagakure's patience and tolerance for you has a limit."
Kitsuchi sniffed and the surprise on his face instantly turned into indifference as he sneered.
He still had the nerve to smile and say that it's been a long time, what a time, it really made him wait and made them Iwagakure wait.
" I am extremely sorry, Mr. Kitsuchi, I definitely didn't mean to keep you and your Iwagakure waiting for a long time, it's really because I've been watched very closely lately, it's hard to find a chance to meet with you, I'm sure you're also well aware of my difficulties, and the one that's here right now is just a water clone of mine.
I'm short on time, so I'll cut the crap, the location of our transaction needs to be changed, but I hope that you Iwagakure people can continue to stay here to attract the attention of those unsuspecting people.
In fact, I didn't show up for a long time because I wanted to let these people focus on me and develop inertia so that our next transaction can be completed smoothly. You know, it's a bit inconvenient for me to bring two living people to conduct the transaction. "
Kirito explained with an apologetic face.
"Don't talk about this useless nonsense, I just want to ask what to say about the losses our Iwagakure has suffered these days, you don't want our Iwagakure to draw fire for you for nothing, do you."
Kitsuchi didn't want to listen to Kirito's explanation, he just wanted to use it to gain more benefits in favor of their Iwagakure, and aggressively said.
The assassinations these days, he personally was fine, but he also lost a lot of good compatriots of Iwagakure, these losses he had to get back from Kirito, this unpunctual guy, otherwise how could he stand up to his dead companion's, to Iwagakure.
Kirito sniffed, silent for a moment, sighed: "The resources to train jōnin, I can do without, but those Earth Release ninjutsu and S-ranked ninjutsu, you have to give them to me."
"Fair enough, say, where is the new trading place?"
Kitsuchi saw Kirito come up with substantial benefits to make concessions, he saw fit to nod his head expressionlessly and said.
Kirito smiled without saying anything, then turned into a puddle of water under Kitsuchi's puzzled gaze and directly lifted his water clone.
At the same time, a wet wooden plaque landed on the ground where Kirito's water clone disappeared.
Kitsuchi immediately quickly went over and picked up the wooden sign, and when he saw clearly the words engraved on it, he immediately used Earth Release - Rock Fist Technique to to crush the sign into smithereens.
"A good place to trade."
Kitsuchi lowered his head, looked at the wood shavings in his hand, and muttered.
At the same time, in a forest seven or eight kilometers away from the town, the White Zetsu clone drilled out from a large tree and looked at the direction of the town with a grave expression on his face.
He had already opened his Byakugan at this time, and relying on the power of his Byakugan, he was able to see everything and every move of the people in the town.
In fact, with his current combination of Byakugan and natural energy perception, all the powerful ninjas in the town could no longer be hidden from him.
He realized that there were actually twenty jōnin and two Kage-Level powerhouses gathered in this small border town.
This lineup was truly luxurious.
Those twenty-odd upper ninjas came from various forces, of which Iwagakure and Konoha had the most, with five upper ninjas each, followed by Sunagakure with three upper ninjas, once again Amegakure with two Jonin, and the remaining five upper ninjas, one of which was Yamanaka Yun, with the remaining strength unknown, and nine times out of ten, they were rogue ninjas.
As for the two Kage-Level powerhouses, one of them was none other than Sunagakure's Chiyo, and the other was actually was the undead Kakuzu.
"I didn't expect that this deal with Iwagakure actually attracted even Kakuzu, is he here to fetch my vest Hattori Masanari's head bounty or Kitsuchi's head bounty?"
Kirito thought darkly as he looked with Byakugan at a ninja in a private room in the town who was shrouded in black.
This person was none other than Kakuzu, who by now had already controlled the people in the private house with his illusions and had used those tentacles formed by the Earth Grudge Fear on his body to dive into the ground, connecting all the way to the inn where Kitsuchi was.
By the looks of it, the Earth Grudge fear secret art in Kakuzu's body, besides allowing him to live forever, also possessed the ability to detect.
"Hmm~, someone is spying on me, where is this spying coming from."
On the other side, Kakuzu, who was being spied on by Kirito with Byakugan, was startled in his heart, and without moving, he observed his surroundings and used some sort of perception jutsu to counteract it.
Only, that feeling of being peeped at never went away, causing his heart to gradually sink.
"Looks like this bounty trip won't be as pleasant as usual."
Kakuzu found that his perception ninjutsu was useless, so he simply chose to give up, but he was secretly alert in his heart, and mobilized the chakra in his body, ready to attack and hurt people at any time.
Now that he had been exposed, the wisest way to leave this place was to move immediately.
Because he knew very well how difficult it would be to defeat an enemy that his perception ninjutsu could not counter. The enemy was likely to be from a large ninja village and had many capable companions around him.
It was already very difficult for him to take the food from these people alone, and now that he had lost the advantage of being hidden in the shadows, it would be even more difficult for him to try to take the food from the tiger's mouth again, and he might get himself involved as well.
Although his strength was high, he would never take the enemy lightly, this was the experience that he had summarized after living for a long time.
No matter how good the enemy was, one needed to go all out and not be able to have the slightest hint of being gullible and careless.
Knowing that if he continued like this, his situation would become more and more dangerous, Kakuzu did not choose to leave, still sitting steadily in the lodging, continuing to utilize Earth Grudge Fear to monitor Kitsuchi and the other Iwagakure ninja's every move.
"Trying to get me to back off like this, humph, don't even think about it, I won't betray money."
Kakuzu noticed that the prying eyes fell on him and hesitated to leave, and instantly realized what was going on in the other party's mind, and laughed coldly in his heart.
The reason he was here was because he had accepted a commission from someone in the underground gold exchange to assassinate Hattori Masanari.
The generous deposit, he had already accepted it, and it was now impossible to get a refund.
And he didn't have the slightest intention to return the money.
That was for sure.
In this world, only money would not betray him.
Since money didn't betray him, he naturally couldn't betray money, nor could he betray the contract formed with money.
He would do his best to fulfill this contract formed with money, even if he would die as a result.
"I can only say that you are worthy of being a Kage-level expert. You are very skilled and courageous. Even though I am staring at you like this, you still don't intend to leave and escape my surveillance. I am really impressed."
Kirito sighed as he stared at Kakuzu's every move with Byakugan, realizing that Kakuzu was clearly aware of his prying eyes yet he was staying right where he was.
A powerful ninja are very difficult to spy on, as they develop a very strong instinct for danger after experiencing countless bloody battles, and once they're being watched, they're instantly aware of it.
Kakuzu was a same generation as the first Hokage, and once even escaped under the first Hokage, a powerful ninja who had lived for a long time and had experienced hundreds of battles.
A ninja of this level must have realized his prying eyes a long time ago, yet he hesitated to leave, showing how confident he was in his own strength.
Honestly speaking, if he hadn't gotten Byakugan before, he would have run as far as he could against Kakuzu.
Because this guy is also a proficient Water Release powerhouse, and is also proficient in the other four elements.
Relying on Byakugan, he saw that those five hearts in his body were storing a rather huge amount of five attribute chakra.
Combined, that amount of chakra was undoubtedly at the Kage-level.
In the original plot, although Kakuzu only used those five elements release techniques, it does not mean that he does not know other five elements release techniques, just that he is more proficient in those five elements release techniques.
If the White Zetsu clone fights with him in the Land of Rain, nine times out of ten, he will not be able to use the advantage of the land to take much advantage of the situation, and it is likely that in turn, he will be educated by him with the Lightning Release jutsu.
However, the White Zetsu clone now has the power of the Byakugan, and with the advantage of Land of Rain and Sage Mode, there may be a chance to defeat Kakuzu.
According to the plot development, Kakuzu would be a core member of Xiao in the future, a rather important character in Naruto.
As long as he was able to kill Kakuzu now, then he could definitely obtain Enhancement Points.
It had to be said that this was a huge deal.
"Kakuzu's appearance is an accident, since it's an accident, let's put it aside for the time being, the difficult thing to deal with is this Sunagakure's Flower of Shinobi, I captured her son and daughter-in-law, and even used them to make a deal with the Iwagakure, so she definitely hates me to the bone.
If Kitsuchi can't get rid of her trail, Hattori Masanari, this vest will have to fight with her next, this Kage-class puppeteer is an all-round talent, puppetry, medical jutsu, ninjutsu as well as sealing jutsu all have quite high proficiency, it will be extremely dangerous for me to fight with her.
If there is another Kakuzu next to me who is coveting, Hattori Masanari, the vest, would be in danger."
Kirito took his eyes off of Kakuzu and turned to sneak a look at a middle-aged woman who was maintaining her puppet in the basement of one of the private houses, a fixed gaze in her eyes.
He didn't dare to keep his eyes on Chiyo like he had done with Kakuzu earlier, he just swept her offhandedly and then moved away.
Unfortunately, even if he was as careful as he could be, Chiyo seemed to have sensed that someone was spying on her, and the movements of her hand as she fiddled with the puppet suddenly paused for a moment.
"This feeling of spying must be from Konoha's Byakugan ninja. However, they can actually see through the seal barrier I set up and spy on me. The Byakugan ability of this Byakugan ninja must be extraordinary. Could it be a Byakugan ninja from the Hyuga clan? Impossible, those guys are all cowards, it's impossible for them to appear here.
But if it's not the clan family's Byakugan ninja, which branch family's Byakugan ninja has this degree of strength.
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this, what's important is that I've been discovered by the people of Konoha, but I've been away from Sunagakure for so many days, that double should have been recognized a long time ago as well, it's time to make a transfer, this place is not a good place to stay for a long time."
Chiyo didn't move as she continued to fiddle with the puppet, her heart secretly alive.
Soon, she ended her maintenance of the puppet and then secretly left the border town as fast as she could.
Unlike the perspective of a loner, Chiyo was tasked with guarding and building up the Sunagakure, and could not continue to stay in the border town with exposure, adding to the dangers in vain, which would be an irresponsible thing to do for her and for Sunagakure.
"It doesn't matter if you're out of my surveillance, I've memorized your soul scent, I'll be able to find you again even if you run farther."
Kirito said coldly as he watched Chiyo fade into view with Byakugan.
Like Kakuzu, Chiyo was a very important character in Hokage, and killing her would definitely get Enhancement Points, and the amount would not be small.
It was just that, to kill this Kage-class puppeteer, relying on the White Zetsu clone's strength alone was not enough.
He needed helpers.
