Chapter 107 - 107

Title: Mysterios Man with a scar on his face.

They run in just a few hours, so they can recover in just a few minutes since all of them are Ninjas.​​

But due to Akabane's thick face, everyone rested for half an hour before all of them once again moved following Hatake Sagiki lead.

It didn't take long for everyone to enter Land-of-Rivers.

"The environment here is good."

Orochimaru was surprised and didn't expect that there is such a country surrounded by mountains and rivers besides the Land-of-Wind.

"It is a buffer zone between wind and fire."

Hatake Sagiki answered as he continued running on the road.

"This country is very miserable. It is almost the same as the current Land of Uzumaki."

Akabane said after considering it for a while.

Owning fertile land didn't mean the village would also be fertile. 

Since the said village was being watched by two great Hidden Villages eyeing the land from each other, it's not weird for the Land Of River to be this miserable.

Like how the Land of Uzumaki is being watched by all Nations, but theirs are not because of land, but because of their sealing ninjutsu which they all wanted to be owned by their Villages.

"We are going to the more prosperous city of Land-of-Rivers, but there are many rebels there so be careful."

Akabane continued.

These are all the information he got from Yamano Izumi.

"Betrayal…"

Orochimaru licked his lips. Not only was he not afraid, but his eyes showed excitement.

Betrayal?

That means you don't have to be responsible for killing them.

"Hey, Orochimaru, what are you excited about?"

Jiraiya whispered.

"It's nothing, I just thought that there might be a fight, so I was a little excited."

Orochimaru indifferently said.

"You don't have to worry about that since they wouldn't dare to take a shot against Konoha Ninja."

Hatake Sagaki said.

Rebels/Betrayals have their own rules. If they don't want to be hunted by the Konoha ninjas, it's better not to do anything to them. That is one of Land of Rivers Rebel rules.

The village is too close to Konoha, so they are just seeking death.

They were very fast, and it didn't take long for them to cross the mountains and forest, what appeared in front of them was a town full of rogue ninja's roaming town.

The town is not large, but compared to Land-of-Rivers, this is already a very prosperous area.

"I'll go to the caravan, you can play whatever you want."

Since he arrived in the town, Akabane is going to leave everyone temporarily to look for the caravan that he sent first.

"Hey, this is too dangerous!"

Tsunade said anxiously.

Hatake Sagiki didn't speak but looked at them quietly.

"If you are worried, I will go too."

Orochimaru faintly smiled and said, "It just happens that I am not interested in this side. If two people are together it will be better than one right?."

"Um…ok."

Hatake Sagiki nodded.

As Jonin agreed, Tsunade had no choice but to let them leave the team even if she was worried.

"Father, is it okay?"

Sakumo frowned, he felt that the purpose of these two guys was not so simple.

"Don't worry."

Hatake Sagiki's reply is very simple.

As the leader of the team and a Clan, he certainly does not think that Akabane's departure is just to find a caravan.

But…

What to do with him.

The Land of Rivers is chaotic and disorderly, and rebels here are not all good people anyway.

So regardless of the killing, he has no opinion.

However, if Akabane and Orochimaru want to leave the team, they must bear the cost of leaving the team.

"After entering the city, a team of three or four will move freely."

Hatake Sagiki said as he took the lead to the town.

_

"Why did you follow me?"

Akabane asked after they finally got a distance from their team.

"It feels like you are going to do something fun, so let me join in the fun."

Orochimaru licked his lips and answered excitedly.

"I'm just going to inform the caravan…"

"Akaba-kun, do you believe it yourself?"

Orochimaru didn't believe it.

Akabane is helpless.

This guy has a crucial moment, how can he behave like Jiraiya?

"My caravan cooperated with others and came to Land-of-Rivers with its identity hidden. I wanted to open up a long-term trade channel, so I could not expose the identity of Konoha Ninja."

Akabane explained.

Through the introduction of Izumi Yamano, another caravan agreed to try selling his manga. This cooperation is to open up the sales channel in the Land-of-Rivers area.

There are underground rules.

If Konoha Ninja is required to participate, it will be more troublesome in places like Land-of-Rivers.

"It turned out to be like this…"

Orochimaru chuckled and took off his forehead gear.

Transformation Jutsu!

In an instant, he has become an adult like the rest of the people.

Akabane froze for a moment.

He has to say that on Transformation Jutsu, Orochimaru's attainments in it can also be at the same level as what he redeems from his system.

"I just want to experiment with my newly created Ninjutsu. If I don't encounter an enemy, I won't cause you trouble."

Orochimaru shrugged.

"We are all together, so what is the point of saying these."

Akabane shook his head, and the same also used Transformation Jutsu to change his appearance.

And both of them started walking to the agreed location.

"Hehe, Akaba-kun, it would be nice if you hadn't said that."

Orochimaru smiled maliciously, and his pace accelerated a lot, "I have sensed it, a lot of ninjas…"

Hearing it, Akabane didn't stop walking.

Anyway, Orochimaru wants to do it. And he is happy to save energy–

If Orochimaru couldn't deal with ordinary Rebels, then he won't be Orochimaru anymore.

"manga? What the hell is this thing!"

"What's the point of this kind of little book, and you dare to sell this thing, have we agreed for you to do it?"

Nearing the place where the agreed place was located, the two of them hear voices one after another.

"We have already paid Master Bang, and he allows us to trade here."

The leader of the caravan explained.

"Bang? Humph, unfortunately, we have killed Bang."

One of the rebels said with a sneer and continued, "So you have to pay again to us."

"Impossible!"

The leader of the caravan was stunned hearing it since it's a little unbelievable for him.

Since he just saw Bang yesterday, how could he be killed in one day!

"He is just a Chunin, do you think he will survive fighting our leader that is a Special-Jounin!"

The Rebel said full of disdain.

Although the strength of Special-Jounin is different from that of Jonin, it is also very scary. How could trifling Chunin be their opponent?

'It seems impossible to talk peacefully…'

The leader of the caravan sighed softly and thought. While the ninja belonging to the Kurama clan inside was ready to fight.

But at this time, a voice sounded.

"Are you the rebel in charge of this street?"

The stern silhouette walked out from the dark, and when everyone saw his face clearly, they suddenly were stunned. This guy has scars on his face, and it looks like he is not to be trifled with.

"Who are you?!"

"We are the subordinate of Master Shew, if you dare deal with us, Master Shew will not let you go."

Seeing the ruthless face of the man that suddenly appeared that looked like he came from the battlefield, the rebels quickly bark with all their might, they use their master name to threaten the guy in front of them in fear.

These Rebels' strengths are not high, they can threaten ordinary people, but not someone who looks like a ninja since their existence in the ninja rank is at the bottom.

They are afraid of death, so they dare not do anything with the other side.

"Who is he?"

"The newly arrived Rebel!"

Kurama-clan ninja, hidden in the caravan, became vigilant, seeing the arrival of the man. This guy's aura is dozens of times more dangerous than Bang they meet!

Under the Transformation Jutsu, no one can recognize Orochimaru right now.

"A Special-Jonin, right?"

Orochimaru smiled coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent, and said: "You lead the way, or do you want me to.."

"I… we will lead the way, please d-don't kill us, don't kill us!"

Before Orochimaru could finish his speech, all the rebels knelt quickly and begged for mercy, and then they rushed to lead the way.

Akabane, who was watching from the side, frowned when he heard Orochimaru looking for the leader.

That's Special-Jonin…

He sighs helplessly and uses hand seals to create a Shadow Clone.

There is no need to communicate. As the main body and clone, both parties have understood their intentions.

"Let's go, then."

Orochimaru said with his face devoid of emotion, he didn't kill them since they were just small fry.

Since Special-Jonin is more interesting!

As he turned around, he couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth excitedly.
