Title: Hidden Sand Ninja Spy

Akabane's business development is not for him to become rich, but because he wants to promote his comics to obtain more points.​​

Although his comics are popular in Konoha, the points he received were not enough, especially when stronger jutsu was about to appear with the upcoming next plot.

So…

If he wants to stay firm in Land-of-Rivers, he must have a good relationship with the local tyrant here.

But the best choice was of course also to fight directly.

Akabane followed Orochimaru while secretly observing the streets of the town.

There are many shops on both sides, and there are a lot of people on the street. Seeing how bustling it is, it is indeed one of the most prosperous towns in Land-of-Rivers.

"The front…The house in front belonged to Bang. But our leader killed him this morning so.."

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way."

Orochimaru glanced at him coldly and said, making several rebels quickly fell silent.

"Yes!"

not saying anything further, they quickly continue to lead the way.

When they reached the door, several rebels were trembling in fear.

This trip did not receive much protection fee, but brought outsiders back…

They can imagine what terrible punishment will be ushered back.

"humph."

A chuckle was heard inside, but they didn't feel relieved, instead, they got chills on their back–

If they enter the door they might die.

But If they don't enter the door, they will also die immediately!

Squeak~~

When they opened the door and entered, the smell of blood entered their sense of smell.

Orochimaru sniffed and immediately guessed that the people who died here were within two digits. It seems that rebels here are quite abiding.

"You are coming back so quickly, is someone dissatisfied?"

An indifferent voice came out.

"No…Uh, yes, yes."

"What?"

Hearing it, The Rebel leader named Shew became impatient and walked from his room to the front Hall.

Orochimaru slightly frowned when he saw the leader's appearance.

From the appearance alone, he can deduce this guy is a Sand Ninja.

A rebel from Hidden Sand?

Orochimaru's face became serious and entered battle mode.

Seeing their leader, the rebels that led the way immediately crawled and quickly fled to the side of their leader. 

After feeling safe with their leader on their side, they immediately once again recovered their bearing, and they pointed at Orochimaru with hatred and shouted: "Leader… This is the guy…"

Without any of the rebels knowing, all of them fell as they convulsed and died.

The leader named Shew just glanced at them like they were Ant and then stared at Orochimaru.

'A Poison Expert!' Orochimaru thought and heightened his vigilance to the max.

"Who you are!" The Rebel leader asked.

Hearing it, Orochimaru didn't answer his question and instead said: "I just want to ask, the Land-of-Rivers is our Rebels zone, but you are definitely a Sand Ninja…coming here, you are courting death right?"

Orochimaru's killing-intent is revealed ready to clash.

"Heh, you also said that this is the Rebels zone. Of course, I am here as a rebel."

Sneered Shew.

In the dark place where Akabane was watching everything.

Akabane saw a silhouette emerge from the sidewall.

Puppet?

Speaking attracts attention, so using Puppet sneak attack is really Sand Ninja's style.

He got up to kill Puppet.

However, Orochimaru, with his hand behind his back, quietly gestured to him, meaning to stand still.

"It's hard to say. You can also be a spy from Hidden Sand Village, wanting to control this paradise rebellion."

Orochimaru faintly smiled coldly, the scars on his face that crossed his face look so terrifying complementing his murderous aura.

"How is it possible, I was here because…"

Shew explained in disdain, and when he finished talking, his finger moved and controlled his puppet to make a surprise attack.

Tuk tuk~~

The poison needle was sprayed, and a Puppet also flew from the eaves.

However…

Orochimaru's body bends in an incredible way, that made the poisonous needle just pass him.

Holding a Kunai in his hand, Orochimaru then immediately counter attacked the puppet coming for him.

bang!

The attack was unexpected; he caught off guard Shew who was controlling the puppet.

Although Shew's control was very high, he was still unable to avoid the attack that took his puppet arm.

Body Modification?

Although it is just a basic elastic body modification, it can be seen that Orochimaru's research has been somewhat effective.

"I didn't expect you to have a little more ability."

Shew said while pulling his puppet back to him as a shield with his face becoming solemn.

'Compared with Bang, this guy is much better!' Shew thought.

"I also didn't expect you to be this strong."

Orochimaru said with a sigh.

A Special-Jonin of Hidden Sand Village, although he expected it to be strong, but didn't expect this much...

"If you want to irritate me, then you succeeded."

Shew said lightly.

As he speaks, the Puppet that was in his front suddenly rushes forward towards Orochimaru.

This time, his Chakra Threads are shorter and more precise in control that made the puppet immediately come to Orochimaru in an instant.

At the same time…

bang!

Underneath, a small puppet with a strange shape broke out of the ground.

Two Puppets?

Orochimaru was slightly surprised, and quickly use hand-seal with both hands

Wind-Style _ Great Breakthrough!

The Puppet's advancing speed slowed down a bit because of the wind.

At this moment, Orochimaru twisted his body to avoid the attack of Puppet, and made a hand seal!

Tiger seal?

What kind of technique is this!

Seeing it, Shew tried to recall what kind of Jutsu Orochimaru was going to use but still didn't get a clue.

But after he saw Orochimaru finish the seal and release the Jutsu.

He saw a thick fog sweeping over.

Hidden Mist Jutsu?

"Mist Ninja? How can Mist Ninja appear in this place!" Shew said clearly in shock and quickly tried to run away.

However…

The next second, he felt several ninjas with sword shadows appear.

Sword?

Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

The moment he thought of it, a huge beheading sword flew over his neck.

In reality…

Only when the fog rose, Orochimaru could finally see what happened to the Special Jonin.

He saw Shew's body full of holes with blood flowing from his body.

"Let's go."

Akabane's voice came from behind him.

Kill in a second?

Orochimaru was slightly startled since it felt unbelievable for him.

This guy can control two Puppets at the same time, and it's not surprising that he can become Special-Jonin.

But to die in Genjutsu…

This kind of destructive power Genjutsu is simply unscientific!

"His spiritual energy is very weak and it is easier to deal with him than Chunin."

Akabane explained seeing his face.

"Since you kill him, you can take this site as your own, and it can also be a stronghold."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and said.

"If you are interested, I can give it to you. But if you are not interested, I will use a clone and clean up the rest."

"No, I am interested."

Orochimaru immediately agreed. Since on the way here, countless thoughts came into his mind.

And having the Land of River can one of them be realized.

"Then the condition is that you help me hide my Hidden Mist Jutsu."

Akabane lightly said with a smile.

"Of course…by the way, about my Ninjutsu, do you want to learn it?"

Orochimaru smiled kindly-even though his face after using transformation was a bit scary, Akabane was sure that this guy is clearly excited.

"Soft Body Modification? Forget it!"

Akabane immediately rejected it while shaking his head.

"You are Orochimaru, and you will become a snake man in the future. And I still want to be human." Akabane secretly thought in his mind.

" It's unfortunate, I thought Akabane-kun would be interested."

Orochimaru sighed softly, lamenting that his research results cannot be shared with others.

In his opinion, if Akabane wants this kind of ability, his Genjutsu's release will be more concealed and terrifying.

However, Akabane is really not interested.

He doesn't need to be self-sufficient, why does he need to train such a soft-soft body?

As for the release of Genjutsu…

After the Uzumaki Clan physique is fully redeemed, he can just replace it directly with Shadow Clone.

With how much Chakra Uzumaki has, having more Clones is still possible.

"By the way, just leave it to Shadow Clone here, so as not to turn around and make people suspicious."

Because he feared that battle here was going to be hard, he didn't dare to summon another clone, and also he didn't want to affect Orochimaru.

But now that the Rebel Leader aka Sand Ninja Spy is solved, naturally, his concern in this regard also ceases to exist.

"No problem."

Orochimaru nodded and used hand seals to create Shadow Clones.

He has less Chakra than Akabane, but during the duration of the Shadow Clone, it is completely enough to solve the problem here.

He has great experience in dealing with these rebels.

The deterrence adds a little bit of benefit, and the rebels dare not make moves on them. In terms of deterrence, Shew's death is shocking enough, and this news only brought them advantages.
