Chapter 73：

This kind of thing will happen sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

Now that Uchiha is actually out of the control of Konoha Village, he has become independent in terms of tasks.

From now on, Uchiha can listen to the instructions rather than the propaganda.

After the matters in Yinyin Village are finished, we have to go back as soon as possible to take over the position of clan leader.

Chapter 91 Sound Hidden Village

Dream space.

Water escape, water wave!

Xia Mu opened his mouth and spat out, and a stream of water shot out like a water gun, making a huge hole in the ground.

Xia Mu wiped her mouth, but the water wave was still much worse than the water break wave. The second Hokage Tobirama used Water Break Wave, which was like a high-pressure water jet, cutting wherever it was sprayed.

Natsuki likes it very much, but even if he obtains the water attribute affinity, it is not that easy to learn Shuizanbo.

I am still far behind.

Natsuki continued to form seals.

Water escape, water formation wall!

boom! A wall of water immediately burst out of the ground in front of Xia Mu!

Xia Mu frowned. It seemed that the water formation wall didn't have much effect.

Even worse than his own Susanoo, the second Hokage Tobirama can use the water formation wall to surround him.

Now I can only use it at best, but it is far from being able to apply it flexibly.

Xia Mu quickly exited the dream space without continuing to practice.

Yesterday, I received news from Itachi that he had successfully brought Kaoru Jugo back to the Oto Ninja Village.

Orochimaru has already figured out the problem of Itachi and Shisui's Sharingan. The study of Hashirama's cells still requires more experiments.

However, it requires consuming a lot of precious materials and a huge amount of money.

Xia Mu has no shortage of money, but there are some things that are hard to buy with money.

According to the small country of Konoha Village and Tianno Country, it would take a long time to gather the materials.

Xia Mu had no choice but to speed up and lead a few people on their way to Tian Country.

…

Tian Country, Sound Ninja Village.

The white-haired, muscular Jiraiya arrived at the entrance of the village.

The current Sound Ninja Village has become the strongest Ninja Village among the five great Ninja Villages due to the addition of Uchiha, and the efficiency in completing tasks is very high.

After the development of Oto Ninja Village, it was not as shabby as when Itachi and Shisui first arrived.

Jiraiya saw many people coming in and out of the mission hall on the way, some coming to entrust missions, and some ninjas from Oto Ninja Village taking missions.

Among them, Jiraiya also saw a few Uchiha people, but the Uchiha people did not say hello when they saw Jiraiya passing by, but were minding their own business.

Jiraiya was surprised to see Uchiha Takuya, the third elder of Uchiha, in the mission hall.

They had met before.

"Isn't this Lord Jiraiya? What kind of wind brought you here?"

Uchiha Takuya handed over the matter in hand to his assistant and greeted Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked around.

"Find a place."

Takuya naturally understood what he meant and immediately took Jirai to a secluded room.

"Itachi and Shisui rebelled against the village!?" Jiraiya asked in a deep voice as soon as he sat down.

Takuya's face was full of surprise: "Jiraiya-sama, why did you say this? We are just here to take on tasks to make a living."

Jiraiya frowned: "Isn't it the same as accepting missions in Konoha?"

Takuya chuckled: "No, no matter what we do in Konoha, we are stared at, and our eyes are easily gouged. Although this is a small ninja village, it is free and comfortable."

Jiraiya was speechless for a moment. Everyone knew that Danzo dug out Uchiha's eyes. Uchiha Takuya used this as an excuse. He had nothing to say.

He understood what Uchiha Takuya meant, which was that he had suffered too much discrimination in Konoha.

Jiraiya sighed. Whether these Uchiha were outside or still in the village, they might already be planning a rebellion.

"Is Orochimaru here?" Jiraiya asked directly.

Takuya looked erratic: "I don't know, I'm just here to make a living. If you want to find Orochimaru, you can just leave the mission."

From the look on Takuya's face, Jiraiya knew that Takuya had news about Orochimaru, but he would definitely not tell him in vain.

Jiraiya made an estimate and took out one hundred thousand taels: "Then I will give one hundred thousand taels and leave a mission to find Orochimaru."

Takuya raised his head and glanced at Jiraiya. It seemed that Jiraiya was really determined to find Orochimaru.

"Okay, I'll go and issue the mission right now. Jiraiya-sama can eat more delicious food nearby. The results will be available in three days at the latest."

Jiraiya nodded, and Takuya probably went to ask Orochimaru if he wanted to see him.

When Takuya was about to go out, he leaned against the door and said, "By the way, Jiraiya-sama, our bathhouse has a sealing barrier."

Jiraiya's face suddenly darkened.

…

Orochimaru is different from the original time and space. Now Orochimaru is busy doing research every day and is overwhelmed with various topics.

He did not join the Akatsuki organization, nor did he have any plans to collapse Konoha. He no longer cared about the Third Hokage's impression of him. After all, he had more important things to do.

He had long forgotten what happened to Konoha in the past.

Takuya took Jiraiya's money and went directly to ask for Orochimaru.

The current management of Oto Ninja Village, the third elder Uchiha Taku also contributes a lot.

So even though Orochimaru was very busy, he still found time to see him.

"Lord Orochimaru, Jiraiya has come to find you. He has paid a hundred thousand taels to offer a reward for information about you. He is now near the Sound Ninja Village."

"Oh?" Orochimaru was very surprised. Jiraiya actually didn't cry out to kill him. Does this money offer for a reward mean that he is not prepared to use force?

"It seems there has been some change." Orochimaru has never paid much attention to things in Konoha.

He was worried about not being able to find those special drugs in several studies, so Jiraiya came.

Orochimaru thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curved.

…

After Tian Zhiguo’s strong support, the [Chinese Food] store has indeed made money.

Otonin Village is expanding every year and now has a very mature commercial street.

Many people who completed the mission went to the streets of Sound Ninja Village to spend money, buy things, and eat, which promoted the development of Sound Ninja Village.

The more people there are in the commercial street, some simply choose to release tasks in the Sound Ninja Village, which promotes each other and creates a virtuous cycle.

Jiraiya found a hotel, and after visiting the night market in the evening, he came back with a lot of barbecue and wine, eating skewers and drinking some wine.

So chic and happy.

Jiraiya had to admit that these delicacies were really delicious.

Jiraiya was eating when his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the door.

Orochimaru lifted the curtain and walked in.

Orochimaru sat across from Jiraiya, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru. He always felt that there was something wrong with Orochimaru, but he couldn't explain it. There was a sense of disobedience that always lingered.

In fact, it's because Orochimaru has been reincarnated, and his current body is not his original body.

Jiraiya, who had been his teammate for many years and often practiced senjutsu, naturally felt a little inconsistent.

In the past few years, Orochimaru has basically not fought much. He is busy with experiments every day. His ruthless temperament has dissipated a lot, and he has become a bit bookish.

…

Chapter 92 An encounter in Tang Country

It was Jiraiya who spoke first.

"Orochimaru, you founded Otogakure Village?"

Orochimaru chuckled lightly: "It's just a cooperative relationship. I'm already here. You're not planning to talk to me about old times, are you?"

When Jiraiya saw Orochimaru, he felt very strange. After not seeing each other for several years, Orochimaru seemed to be a completely different person.

Orochimaru was not so easy to talk to before.

"Did Danzo do the kidnapping of the baby in the village?" Jiraiya asked in a deep voice.

"What's the point of saying this now, so what if it is, so what if it's not?"

Orochimaru didn't answer directly, but his attitude was really nonchalant.

Jiraiya said seriously: "This is very important."

Orochimaru watched Jiraiya keep staring at him. For a long time, he said one word: "Yes."

Jiraiya seemed to be relieved and said a little puzzled: "Why don't you explain to the old man."

Orochimaru chuckled: "Why should I explain? I am Danzo's accomplice. That's no problem."

Jiraiya sighed: "Why do it have to be like this?"

Orochimaru's face turned cold when he heard this, and he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Why can't you choose me to be the Fourth Hokage? Why do you have to choose Minato!"

This matter has always been a thorn in Orochimaru's heart. When Jiraiya mentioned it, Orochimaru felt unhappy.

"The old man had his own considerations at the time." Jiraiya knew that Orochimaru was angry and hurriedly defended the third generation.

Orochimaru snorted and seemed to calm down: "What's the point of talking about it now? If I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Jiraiya said.

"The old man said: 'It doesn't matter whether you come back or not.'" After Jiraiya said what he said.

Orochimaru said nothing, paused for a long time, and then walked to the gate without turning his head.

"The old man has aged a lot recently." Jiraiya couldn't help but said again.

Orochimaru stopped and turned his back to Jiraiya and said: "My experiment recently requires some precious medicinal materials, deer heart grass, red sand vine and..."

Orochimaru reported several precious medicinal materials, all of which happened to be some of the specialties of the Konoha ninja clan.

These are very precious to the outside world because they are not sold to the outside world, but with the energy of the Hokage, they can still be obtained.

Jiraiya thought arrogantly that Orochimaru was giving the Third Generation a step up. He excitedly patted his chest: "Don't worry, Orochimaru, I can find a way to get it!"

Jiraiya was a little excited, he suddenly thought of something.

"Orochimaru, please wait."

Orochimaru didn't turn around: "What else is there?"

Jiraiya bit his finger and broke the seal.

Psychic art!

Bang, a red toad appeared on the ground.

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

"up to you."

Without looking back, Orochimaru left with a smile on his lips.
