Crossover: The Strongest Uchiha, the Ninja World is in Turmoil!

Page 96

With the support of Tianzhiguo, the [Zhonghua Cuisine] stores are indeed quite profitable.

The Sound Village has been expanding year after year and now has a well-established commercial street.

After completing their missions, many people went out to shop and enjoy food on the streets, contributing to the prosperity of the Sound Village.

As the flow of people increased, some even chose to post missions directly in the Sound Village, creating a virtuous cycle of mutual promotion.

Jiraiya found a hotel and strolled through the night market that evening.

We brought back a lot of kebabs and wine, enjoying them while sipping the wine – it was so pleasant!

I must admit, these dishes are indeed delicious.

As he was eating, his expression changed, and he looked towards the door.

Orochimaru lifted the curtain and stepped inside.

They then sat down opposite Jiraiya, and the two remained silent for a moment.

Jiraiya scrutinized Orochimaru, feeling that something was amiss, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it; a sense of unease lingered.

In reality, Orochimaru had already undergone reincarnation, and his current body was not his original one.

As Jiraiya had been a teammate for many years and often practiced sage techniques, he naturally sensed something was amiss.

In recent years, Orochimaru has hardly participated in any battles, spending his days engrossed in experiments.

The sinister aura had faded considerably, replaced by a scholarly air.

...

Finally, Jiraiya broke the silence. "Orochimaru, did you found Otogakure?"

Orochimaru chuckled: "It's just a cooperative relationship. Now that I'm here, you wouldn't happen to want to catch up with old friends, would you?"

Jiraiya felt a great deal of unfamiliarity when facing Orochimaru. After not seeing him for several years, Orochimaru seemed to have completely changed.

The Orochimaru of the past wasn't so easy to talk to. Was it Danzo who committed the baby disappearances in the village?

Jiraiya asked in a deep voice, "What's the point of bringing this up now? What if it is, and what if it isn't?"

Orochimaru did not give a direct response, and his attitude seemed quite casual.

Jiraiya said seriously, "This is very important."

Orochimaru noticed Jiraiya's gaze, and after a long while, uttered a single word: "Yes."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you explain to the old man?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Why should I explain? I'm Danzo's accomplice, what's wrong with that?"

Jiraiya sighed, "Why bother with this?"

Orochimaru's expression turned cold upon hearing this, and his voice became shrill:

"Why was Minato chosen as the Fourth Hokage instead of me!"

This matter had always been a thorn in Orochimaru's side, and it was brought up by Jiraiya.

Orochimaru was filled with displeasure.

"The old man had his reasons at the time."

Jiraiya noticed Orochimaru's anger and quickly defended the Third Hokage.

Orochimaru snorted, his emotions seemingly calming down: "What's the use of saying all this now that things have come to this? I'll be leaving if there's nothing else."

He stood up, intending to leave. "Wait."

Jiraiya spoke up. "The old man said it doesn't matter whether you go back or not."

Jiraiya said those words.

Orochimaru remained silent for a long time, then walked to the door, his back to the crowd. "The old man seems to have aged considerably lately."

Jiraiya couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up again.

Orochimaru paused, his back to Jiraiya, and said, "My recent experiments happen to be lacking several precious herbs: Deer Heart Grass, Red Sand Vine, and..."

Orochimaru listed several rare medicinal herbs, all of which happened to be specialties of the Hidden Leaf Village.

These herbs are extremely valuable to outsiders because they are not sold, but with the Hokage's abilities, it is still possible to obtain them.

Jiraiya, in his naiveté, thought that Orochimaru was giving the Third Hokage a way out.

He patted his chest excitedly: "Don't worry, Orochimaru, I have a way to get it!"

Jiraiya was somewhat excited, when suddenly an idea struck him.

"Orochimaru, wait a moment."

Orochimaru didn't turn around: "Is there anything else?"

Jiraiya bit his finger and formed a hand seal.

Summoning!

With a bang, a red toad appeared on the ground.

"I'll leave this communication frog with you for now. I'll let you know when everything is ready."

"as you like."

Orochimaru, without turning around, left with a smile playing on his lips.

...

The Land of Hot Springs borders the Land of Rice Fields, and Uchiha Kawasaki plans to head straight from the Land of Hot Springs to the Land of Rice Fields.

Kawasaki and his group entered the town of Yu-no-kuni, only to find that there weren't as many tourists as they had heard.

On the contrary, there were very few people, making it seem somewhat deserted.

The few ninjas who occasionally appeared to be in a hurry also seemed to be in a hurry.

Kawasaki learned that a cult of evil gods had appeared in the Land of Hot Springs, spreading their teachings everywhere. The evil gods revered taking pleasure in killing.

Yugakure was originally a peaceful village, but its rich natural resources attracted the attention of an evil cult.

Many ninja from Yugakure were brainwashed and became henchmen of the evil god.

However, the Land of Hot Springs has already sought help from the neighboring Village of Sound, and the Village of Sound has sent members of the Uchiha clan.

Kawasaki suddenly realized that this might be the lair of the serial killer Hidan.

·····Requesting flowers·········

Now that the Sound Village has risen to prominence, the Land of Hot Springs has directly sought help from the Sound Village.

Kawasaki was puzzled when he first looked at the map, wondering how Pain had received the request from the Land of Hot Springs.

To get to Amegakure from the Land of Hot Water, one has to travel through most of the Land of Fire.

Crying sounds came from afar. Kawasaki and the others approached and found a person hanging from a tree in a strange posture.

The corpse was a bloody mess, with large amounts of blood pooling in small pits on the ground, and triangular circles drawn on the ground not far away.

A woman was weeping on the ground, and her husband was hanging from her.

The tree was tall and straight, clearly beyond her ability to handle alone.

Kawasaki's expression darkened slightly, and he gave Kimimaro a wink.

Kimimaro nodded, cut the rope of the hanged man with a dart, and leaped up to catch the falling corpse.

The sounds of fighting and rising smoke could be heard in the distance.

Kawasaki quickly turned around and ordered, "Don't move, I'll go check the situation."

Deep in the woods.

"How dare you disrespect the Evil God!"

"Hey!"

Hidan, in a frenzied manner, charged directly out of the Great Fireball.

Uchiha Yaoyue frowned; this guy had actually passed right through the Great Fireball.

Hidan, with burning wounds all over his body, swung his scythe violently.

Yao Yue met the attack with her sword and successfully parried.

However, Hidan's scythe was too large, and the sharp spikes still managed to cut a small gash on Yotsuki's arm.

Taking advantage of the moment Hidan's weapon rebounded, Yaoyue slashed Hidan's throat with her sword.

Hidan's body stiffened abruptly, and he fell to the ground.

Yaoyue frowned. Was it resolved so easily?

Sure enough, there was a noise behind him. Turning around, he saw Hidan, his throat ripped open, already standing up. "Ugh...that really...hurts!"

Hidan's voice was hoarse and his words were indistinct.

Yao Yue was startled. How was he still alive? What kind of technique was this?

Yaoyue has gained a firm foothold.

Hidan shouted, "I will carry out God's punishment on you!"

He stepped on his own blood and quickly drew a circle and a triangle.

Yaoyue threw five darts directly.

"Swish swish swish..."

The sound of darts hitting flesh in succession.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Hidan screamed in agony, but he did not leave the circle on the ground.

He revealed a sinister smile: "I'll punish you!"

He quickly ran his hand across the sickle, about to put it into his mouth.

A figure flashed into view, bringing with it a dazzling flash of light.
