Chapter 711: Old u0026 New Plans

"Tell me everything about his abilities."

Orochimaru agreed and informed Rasa about the abilities Fujin displayed. He covered everything from Fujin's speed, control over the wind, combination jutsus, Vacuum jutsus and Wind Domain. The only part that he left out was Fujin's sharp tongue as he was looking forward to Rasa getting a taste of it.

Rasa frowned and analyzed, 'His ability to manipulate winds is truly remarkable. To create a dome of wind and perfectly control it... We don't have anyone with such control. It almost reminds me of the things said about Lord Second.'

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, Rasa asked, "Is it true he can use Scorch Release?"

Orochimaru shrugged and answered, "I can't say for sure. He used the Wind dome he created to take control of my fire jutsu and merge it with his wind chakra. The result was very similar to Scorch Release, but I didn't see him use it independently.

According to my calculations, he must be working on recreating the Scorch Release and is very close to the last step. If he succeeds, then it'll be quite remarkable."

A smirk appeared on Orochimaru's face as he continued, "Considering his previous actions, I'm afraid your village will suffer heavily if he is allowed to fully mature."

Rasa's expression became slightly ugly. He wondered, 'How does Orochimaru know that he was behind that incident?'

Akatsuki had taken an interest in why the Western region of the Land of Wind had become so unstable. Due to being the only Akatsuki member from Sunagakure, Sasori had been assigned to investigate. As his partner, Orochimaru got the information from Sasori's spies too. Initially, he was unsure about the information, but his doubts disappeared after Fujin killed Juzo.

Rasa analyzed, 'He's right. That boy will become more troublesome if he continues to grow stronger. Especially the Scorch Release. We can't allow any other village to get their hands on Scorch Release! Especially not Konoha! However, Orochimaru is purposefully trying to make me restless. Everything will be fine if we win. However, if we lose, then Sunagakure will be doomed.'

Rasa said, "You still haven't said how you'll deal with Jiraiya. Also, what about Tsunade? What are your plans if Konoha brings her back to the village and keeps her hidden until we attack?"

Orochimaru answered, "I have already made arrangements to keep Jiraiya occupied during the battle. As for Tsunade, she won't participate in the war. I have long made arrangements to ensure that."

Rasa frowned and replied, "That doesn't tell me anything."

Orochimaru chuckled and asked, "Do you expect me to tell you all my secrets, Rasa?"

Rasa snorted and said, "If you don't, how am I supposed to know whether the arrangements are good enough? You said that you wanted to fight the Hokage while I stall Fujin. Considering our positions, I'll be next to him. How are you planning to switch our positions when they'll be monitoring me closely?"

Orochimaru replied, "It's simple. I'll disguise as you and sit next to the old man. You disguise as a normal Sunagakure ninja and intercept Fujin when he tries to reinforce the old man."

Once Konoha's top-level fighting capabilities are reduced, we can target Konoha once again and put this plan into action. What do you say, Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru's expression became even darker. If someone were to hear Rasa's words and plans, they would find it very reasonable and appropriate. However, Orochimaru wasn't just someone. He knew fully well about Konoha's capabilities.

He cursed, 'This moron! Does he think that Sensei will just wait around for him to make his moves now that Konoha has recovered its strength? If we don't make a move now, he'll have the Naras start making plans to make a move against both Oto and Suna. If he foolishly tried to target their elites, the most likely scenario is that his head will roll.'

Thoughts clashed in his brain at the speed of light as he analyzed, 'Should I do it and continue the plan alone? The arrangements I made over the last 3 weeks should be enough to crush Konoha. However, things will be tricky without a second rank S ninja to look after the operation while I'm dealing with Sensei... If something goes wrong, there won't be any chance of saving the situation.'

Orochimaru immediately began convincing Rasa about continuing the plan. He warned him that Konoha wouldn't wait for him and might send Fujin to do something similar again. Rasa obviously knew that. However, the situation had become too risky and he had no reason to trust Orochimaru. He would rather deal with Konoha's schemes than blindly trust the snake. Hence, Rasa didn't budge from his position. Instead, he tried to convince Orochimaru to assault Konoha in the future and join him in the plan to eliminate Konoha's top ninjas.

The situation became quite weird. Both of them hated and despised each other, but didn't show it and tried to remain cordial since they needed each other's help. The two had an intense discussion for over ten minutes but were still at an impasse. Neither had good expressions as they realized that the other party was too stubborn to change their mind.

Finally, Orochimaru let out a long sigh and said, "Kazekage-san..."

Suddenly, without any change in his expression or demeanor, Kimimaro's fingertips parted, creating holes and exposing his hardened finger bones. He pointed them at Rasa and his guards in one smooth action and fired his bones like bullets at the unsuspecting Suna ninjas!
