Chapter 548 Meeting

"Finally back, Tou? It's a little later than expected by the item."

In the research facility located underground in Otonin Village, Dashemaru saw the pocket that opened the door and entered, and a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.

According to the original plan, Dodo should return to Otonin Village one step earlier than Sasuke. However, it has been a while since Sasuke came to Otonin Village, but he didn't see Dou returning to Otonin Village. He thought for a while that some unknown accident happened when the other party was investigating the root base.

"Sorry, Oshemaru-sama, I wasted a lot of time because I found that 'thing'."

Dodo answered Orochimaru with a normal expression, and pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose as usual, showing a faint smile.

"No Naoyu's body? I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with that woman."

Oshemaru also seemed to think of something, and raised his eyebrows.

"Master Orochimaru, do you feel jealous?"

Dou joked and laughed.

"To a certain extent, it is true. Because I appreciate your talent very much, and I also regard you as the most important part of my siblings... The expectation of you is not even inferior to Sasuke-kun."

An inexplicable smile appeared on Orochimaru's waxy face.

"I see."

Dou was not moved by such words.

It is true that Orochimaru thinks highly of him, and has acquiesced many times to allow him to do some little tricks secretly, but if he touches the restricted area of Orochimaru, he will still be treated as a useless pawn.

Therefore, he must not return with such a dejected attitude that 'No Naoyu's body has not been found'.

He believes in and worships Orochimaru, but it doesn't mean that he has no defense against the other party.

Once he reveals his strangeness, maybe everything about him will be controlled by the other party.

This kind of thing cannot be tolerated by Dou.

Because only everything about that woman cannot be mastered by anyone other than myself.

It's like he once served Danzo.

If it weren't for the death of his adoptive mother, Nonoyu, under the conspiracy of Danzo, he might have embarked on a completely different path from the present, and he would shine for Konoha.

But, did Orochimaru know about this?

Dou did not ask.

It's like he won't take the initiative to question Danzo, where did he hide Nonoyu's body, does he still want to use that woman to control himself, put a layer of chains called 'slaves' around his neck, and fight for Konoha to the last moment like Uchiha Itachi who was also chained...

Because these behaviors are too dangerous.

Whether it is for that woman or for myself to find new meaning, the most important thing is to live.

At this time, just pretend to be 'ignorant and stupid' for the time being, and let these people continue to control themselves.

I have experienced the life of a spy for more than ten years, and it is not difficult to continue for a few more years, ten years, or decades.

A mask is not only a camouflage, but also an armor to protect oneself.

"So, about your disappearance these days, aren't you going to give me a reasonable excuse?"

Oshemaru picked up the experimental vessel and asked Dou with great interest.

It was time to kill boredom, he wondered if he found the meaning of rebirth after getting the pocket of Nonaiyu's corpse.

Do you continue to serve him, or...

This answer, no matter when it is guessed, makes Orochimaru full of curiosity and excitement.

He is the guide of Dou's "second half of life". He is eager to know whether Dou has escaped from his imprisonment and gained new growth under his own teaching.

The unchanging things on the first floor are very boring, but the windmills blown by the wind are extremely vivid and interesting.

Dou, is it the windmill that is blown by the wind?

"Take care of some private matters."

"Oh, what an ambiguous answer."

"Because I don't think Oshemaru-sama doesn't care about these things."

"...Dou, do you know who I hate the most?"

Orochimaru was silent for a while and asked.

"Those who understand and think they understand Oshemaru-sama are like Uchiha Itachi and Danzo."

Double answered without thinking.

"Now you are one of them."

The smile on Orochimaru's face disappeared, and his expressionless face gave people a gloomy and terrifying impression.

"Sorry, I don't intend to be your enemy, Oshemaru-sama."

"You can't even beg for mercy? You are really boring. I thought you would say something like 'If you really don't believe it, use the curse mark to control me'."

Orochimaru shook his head helplessly.

This kid is as bright as ever.

It was just like this that he was reluctant to kill the other party, but stayed by his side, and spared no effort to cultivate him.

Therefore, he didn't care what he did secretly.

Just knowing that he continues to intend to do things for himself is enough.

Loyalty, betrayal, these are insignificant things.

Dou kept his smiling face unchanged.

If he really said that, he would not be far from death.

In Yinnin Village, there is no so-called democracy, and all wills are centered around Orochimaru.

The ninjas of Yinnin Village either hate, fear, worship, or respect Orochimaru.

As long as you do things around this point, you won't become a consumable on the test bench for no reason.

Simple but brutal rules.

"Master Orochimaru joked very few times. It seems that Uchiha Sasuke's performance after coming here makes you very satisfied, Oshemaru-sama."

Changes to other topics.

"He has a talent that is not inferior to or even better than Itachi's. Itachi's physical potential and his mental state can be said to have reached his peak as a ninja. It is difficult to go further... Sasuke-kun is still very young, and his future has unlimited potential. It will be the most important cornerstone on my path to eternal life."

Orochimaru's unsparing praise made Dou slightly surprised, but then regained his composure.

"Since that's the case, why didn't Oshemaru-sama directly choose to occupy his body at this time? With your ability, you should be able to do this with ease."

"What, are you interested in this kind of thing?"

Orochimaru asked with a smile.

"Yes, because the longer the delay, the worse it would be if the other party turned back."

looked at Orochimaru, trying to see something from his expression.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the smile on Orochimaru's face remained the same, nothing unusual.

"You will know this kind of thing in the future. Next, I will leave it to you to handle the dispensing work for Sasuke-kun. Compared with Itachi, he is still very immature and needs to grow faster."

"Then do you want to add some condiments, Oshemaru-sama?"

asked around.

Oshemaru left the laboratory with a smile, leaving Dou with an unfathomable back.

Dou saw Dashemaru leaving, and sighed softly on the spot.

"I hope there won't be any accidents when I're reincarnated..."

A bleak breeze blows by, and above the head of the person standing on the edge of the cliff, the wind chimes hanging from the bamboo hat jingle.

From this position, you can overlook the forest below. You can faintly see a figure running through the forest.

"Water Escape Water Shark Bullet Technique!"

Huge shark-shaped water bombs fell from the sky, directly crushing an area in the forest with outrageous momentum, forcing a battle field full of stagnant water to be vacated.

The ninja team that was attacked immediately fell into chaos. Lightning flashed in the forest, and then lost all traces in silence.

In Itachi's eyes, he only saw Kisame killing the enemy with an overwhelming advantage.

As one of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and a Kirigakure ninja who was born in the age of blood mist, Kisame's fierce and murderous aura, even Jonin will be affected by his aura and cannot exert his full strength.

Adding the big sword shark muscle that can absorb chakra, it will be even more beneficial.

The ninjutsu used by those ninjas disappeared directly under the ninja knife.

After a while, the sound of fighting in the forest gradually disappeared.

Itachi watched all this happen in silence, until a ninja knife passed through his back and appeared in front of his eyes, he turned his head slowly and saw a face with a smirk.

The opponent wears a cloud-marked forehead protector on his forehead.

Obviously, the person who attacked him was a ninja from Yunyin Village.

Just when he thought he had succeeded in sneak attacking Itachi, Itachi's body suddenly swelled up and turned into black crows that squeaked and flew into the sky.

The entire sky turned into a strange color of blood, which made the expression of the sneak attacking cloud hidden ninja suddenly change.

Pfft!

Before waiting for the ninja Yunyin to react, Kunai stabbed precisely into the back of the ninja Yunyin.

Yunyin Ninja only felt a stabbing pain coming from his back, and he didn't even have the strength to look back. Then he lost consciousness and fell forward.

Itachi looked at Yunyin Ninja who was deceived by his illusion and died in the counter-sneak attack, the scarlet Sharingan in his eyes did not fluctuate at all.

"Anyone else slipped through here?"

The voice came from behind, and Kisame walked over with a big grin on his shoulders, and grinned when he saw the corpse of the ninja Yunyin lying on the ground.

"This group of Yunyin ninjas came here to recover Erwei."

Itachi directly named these Yunyin ninjas for their coming.

"Then they picked the wrong target. It wasn't us who caught Erwei, but the group of Scorpion and Didala."

Kisame said unhappily.

"For Yun Yin, arresting any member of the organization and obtaining intelligence is the most valuable action."

"That's right. In this way, the matter of the organization has officially entered the eyes of ninja villages in various countries. I feel that the subsequent actions will become extremely troublesome."

Kisame sighed helplessly.

"For those villages, the tail beast has the function of protecting and deterring foreign enemies. If someone robs such an important weapon, it will naturally not let it go. We must also be prepared to be attacked at any time."

"In other words, it's not just Konoha and Kirigakure's chasing troops who are chasing us?"

"That's the truth."

Itachi glanced at the corpse on the ground, then turned and left.

"Itachi, Kisame, you are late."

In the dark cave, a series of figures, shining with rainbow-like colors, condensed from the air and gathered here one by one.

"Sorry, I was attacked by a cloud ninja on the road, and then I spent a little time inadvertently trying to find a safe landing point."

Different from Itachi who remained silent, Kisame straightforwardly told what happened before.

"Yunyin Ninja? Did you come to the door so soon?"

Nagato, who appeared here as a phantom, had a slight fluctuation in his tone.

"After all, Erwei was taken away, and they will do everything possible to get the tailed beast back."

Kisame replied.

"Since this is the case, please pay attention to the members of each group in the future. It will be more difficult for Yun Yin's guy to be targeted by them."

Nagato advises the personnel of each team.

Then, he glanced around at the people present again, and said: "This time you are only called for a brief meeting, and I will inform you that Konoha's new Hokage is the medical ninja Tsunade among the three ninjas. In the future, Konoha's foreign policy may change."

"Does this have anything to do with us? Hmm."

Didara is not very interested in this kind of thing.

"Unlike the third generation of Hokage, Tsunade seems to be a decisive ninja, and Konoha has always been alert to our organization. If Tsunade increases his strength in the direction of the hostile organization, the degree of trouble will not be lower than that of Yun Yin who is in action."

Nagato conducts an objective analysis from known intelligence.

"Then it will depend on each person's means. Let Konoha's guys also see my art, eh."

Didara's tone sounded very excited.

"Didara, you guy, just don't get killed by your own art in the end."

Scorpion's cynical voice sounded.

"Brother Scorpion, even if you are also an artist, I will be angry if you say such a thing. Hmm."

Didara was dissatisfied and glanced at the scorpion who was dismantling his platform.

Nagato ignored the artistic dispute between the two, but set his sights on Itachi, and said: "Also, Itachi, regarding your younger brother Uchiha Sasuke, it seems that he left Konoha for some reason, and now he is taking refuge with Mr. Orochimaru. Do you have anything to say?"

Itachi's eyes did not fluctuate, and his tone was quite indifferent: "It doesn't matter, he will stand in front of me sooner or later."

When everyone heard Itachi's words, they all turned their faces, their eyes were different, and they seemed to be thinking about something in their hearts.

"Caught by Orochimaru, there is a high probability that it will be used as reincarnation ninjutsu material. If you want to get something from your brother, you'd better move fast, Itachi. If you go late, you won't get anything."

Scorpion seemed to be speaking from Itachi's standpoint.

But this is definitely not out of good intentions, but to provoke the conflict between Itachi and Orochimaru, making them kill each other.

Itachi glanced at Scorpion, but said nothing.

At this moment, Beiliuhu, who had been silent in the corner, said, "Is there anything else you want to say, leader? I still have important research work to deal with."

"There is indeed one more thing... that is, the ten-year 'peace' agreement with the ghost country in the past, and the time has been less than a year."

As soon as Nagato said this, the hearts of all the people gathered in the cave froze, and their eyes turned to Nagato's face.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Nagato's reincarnation eyes still showed no emotion.

"Next, Baijue's intelligence network will be mainly used to cover the movement of the ghost country. Therefore, in the face of the pursuit of other villages, you should handle it according to your own discretion. Finally, I would like to advise you, don't be killed because you are forced to act on your own. You should have heard a little bit about the guys in the ghost country in recent years. They will not be as gentle as villages like Konoha. Dismiss the meeting."

After finishing speaking, Nagato didn't wait for everyone's reaction, and the phantom figure disappeared directly from the cave.
