Orochimaru chuckled: “It’s just a joke, don’t take it so seriously. When I want to let him go, I will let him go.”

“…Yes, Ninja-sama!”

What else could this retainer say?

He could only submit humbly.

Orochimaru ignored this person. He looked back at a simple Ninja Village behind him and grinned evilly: “Whitebeard gave me a lot of inspiration! He can easily destroy a Ninja Village in a small country. Then I He also has the ability to easily build a ninja village in a small country.”

“This is also an escape route arranged in advance!”

Orochimaru actually joined the Akatsuki organization out of curiosity about the Akatsuki organization and the Rinnegan.

But as time goes by.

He found that the Akatsuki organization’s ideas were different from his goals.

how to say……

Although there are many adults in the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru feels that their ideas are very childish.

Especially Akatsuki’s ultimate goal, in the eyes of people like Orochimaru, is beyond childish.

Will a world that has experienced “pain” really enter peace?

Orochimaru thought it was absolutely impossible.

Because human greed and cruelty are more terrifying existences than any ninjutsu.

There will always be a few lunatics in the world who are not afraid of that kind of pain.

And those madmen might even have the power to stir up the ninja world.

Unless humans become extinct one day.

Otherwise the war will not stop.

This difference in philosophy and goals gave Orochimaru the urge to leave the Akatsuki organization. The main reason is that in the Akatsuki organization, he is just a tool who is called around.

The Akatsuki organization did not provide him with any help beyond research.

On the contrary, he has to perform tasks for the Akatsuki organization at every turn.

Orochimaru believes that not only the Akatsuki organization’s ideas and goals are naive, but its organizational structure is also a grassroots team. There is no normal reward system internally, it all depends on a group of rebellious people working for love.

Even Orochimaru couldn’t understand, those people who joined the Akatsuki organization…where did they get the motivation to sacrifice their lives for the Akatsuki organization?

For that childish idea?

He doesn’t understand.

So… Orochimaru, who wanted to leave Akatsuki, kidnapped a daimyo of a small country in his free time and established a small ninja village in advance to use as a retreat after leaving Akatsuki.

“Lord Chief!”

At this moment, a masked ninja appeared behind Orochimaru and knelt down on one knee and said: “There is a telegram from Konoha, and the Sandaime Hokage warmly welcomes our ‘invitation’. He It was bluntly stated in the telegram that all the food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses of all the ninjas from the Otogakure Ninja Village who come to Konoha to take the Chunin Examination will be contracted by Konoha.”

“Ha ha……”

Orochimaru smiled and said, “The old man is still so proud. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of so many ninjas is not a small amount of money! It’s only been a few years since the end of the Third Ninja World War, and he has so much money to spend on this.”

“The Chunin Exam!” Orochimaru was a little eager to take the test.

But he shook his head and said to himself: “Now is not a good time. I am not proficient in that ‘skill’ yet.”

It seems… this time I can only send some brats to take the chunin exam in Konoha Village.

By the way, let them find out what Konoha is like now.

Gather some useful information.

In this way, you can pave the way for your future plans.

Orochimaru adopted a lot of interesting little ghosts some time ago.

Letting them take the Chunin Examination is also considered as training for them.

When the time comes, just send any of your subordinates to lead the team.

“Huh?” Suddenly, Orochimaru felt a strange movement in a ring he was wearing.

He frowned slightly.

He walked into a laboratory underground in the Sound Ninja Village without saying a word.

Injecting a trace of chakra into the ring.

The mind was invested in it.

……

“Don’t worry, with my recommendation, you will be able to successfully join Xiao. This meeting is just a formality. After all, it is an organization, and it must have a sense of ceremony.”

Obito still wore a mask, although his previous mask was shattered by Whitebeard’s knife.

But there are no less than a hundred masks of the same style in Obito’s Kamui Space.

At this time, the person standing in front of Obito was Itachi Uchiha.

“It sounds like you are a senior member of this organization?”

Itachi had an expressionless face and asked Obito seemingly unintentionally.

“Hey, do you want to get information from me?”

Obito put on the mask, his IQ temporarily occupied the high ground: “Don’t ask so many questions, you just need to wait. After joining the Akatsuki, you will be an intern of the Akatsuki organization, and someone will arrange it for you then. A partner.”

“The other party is also a newcomer. What is his name, Loquat Juzo?” Obito chuckled softly: “He is also a relatively famous person. He is somewhat famous in the ninja world.”

“Loquat Juuzang…”

Itachi narrowed his eyes: “The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village?”

“Oh! That’s right!” Obito said: “It’s this guy. He joined Akatsuki a little earlier than you, but not much earlier. He only spent half a month looking for it at most. That guy is quite powerful. He took our A new man was killed, and he came to us with his head and said he wanted to join us.”

“The people from the Hidden Blood Mist Village are indeed very murderous! In other words, with the urine of the Hidden Blood Mist Village, he must have killed many of his fellow villagers back then, and you have killed many of your clan members.”

“I think… you will get along very well with him. After all, from this point of view, you and that Loquat Juuzang are barely the same type of people.”

Speaking of it.

Obito gloated.

Uchiha Itachi ignored him and just stood there quietly, silent.

Because Itachi was trying to capture some useful information from the information Obito revealed.

Uchiha Itachi has not forgotten his purpose of joining the Akatsuki organization.

He had promised the Third Hokage.

“‘Madara-sama’, got some interesting information!”

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

I saw A Fei emerge from the ground: “Konoha Village is going to restart the Chunin Examination, and many Ninja Villages are invited to participate!”

Chuunin exam?

Obito raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Uchiha Itachi with a bit of schadenfreude, and sneered: “It seems that little monkey Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t take the Uchiha clan seriously. What happened to the Uchiha clan? Not only did that guy turn a blind eye to such a big event, he also wanted to hold such a grand event.”

“Itachi, you used to work for such a person?”

The leader wanted to reach out and pat Itachi on the shoulder.

But Itachi dodged it very skillfully.

Obito narrowed his eyes, but didn’t say much. He just said: “Don’t you want to take revenge on him? After joining the Akatsuki organization, you no longer need to work for this kind of guy.”

“Are you done?” Itachi looked at Obito.

Obito replied: “It’s over.”

“Stop nagging after you’ve finished speaking.” Itachi ignored Obito directly: “It’s very annoying when you are nagging.”

Obito: “…”

……

The land of water.

Kirigakure Village.

“Terrumi Mei, it’s up to you to escort these children to Konoha. You must be careful on the way, especially the Akatsuki organization. I don’t think they will let it go just because of the death of the fourth generation. Maybe they have been watching. Our Kirigakure Village.”

Master Yuan was leaning on a cane and said earnestly to Mi Mei: “If you encounter an ambush by the Akatsuki organization, remember not to fight with them. If you can run with the children, then run with them.”

“They are all Kirigakure’s future, and they are also Kirigakure’s team to get rid of the blood mist in the future. We must not let them collapse in the middle. Remember, your task is very difficult!”

Terumi Mei nodded heavily: “Master Genshi, please rest assured, I will definitely protect them.”

Behind Terumi Mei was a group of young boys and girls.

Although there are many adult genin in Kirigakure Village, for this Chunin Exam, Kirigakure Village decided to send a group of younger people with more potential.

Konoha, who leads the Chunin Exams, wants to show the power of the village.

The Kirigakure Village, which is participating in the Chunin Examination, doesn’t want to take this opportunity to tell the entire ninja world…that their Kirigakure Village has not lost its talent because of the blood mist policy.

“By the way…take that thing out.”

When Master Yuan finished these words, a ninja behind him quickly handed over the items he was holding.

“This is?!!”

After seeing that thing, Terumi Mei’s eyes widened a bit.

“This is the Mizukage hat, symbolizing Kirigakure’s highest power.”

Genshi took the Mizukage hat and handed it to Terumi Mei solemnly: “I hope that after you go to Konoha, you will deliver this important symbol of Kirigakure to the Honorable Edward Newgate.”

Master Yuan said Whitebeard’s name in a serious tone.

However, an honorific was added after the name.

“Whether Sir Edward Newgate is willing to take over the position of the Fifth Mizukage or not, this hat, which symbolizes the highest power of Kirigakure Village, will also be kept by the Whitebeard Pirates.”

Genshi continued: “The Whitebeard Pirates, who have a Mizukage hat, can appoint anyone to become the Fifth Mizukage. And no matter who they appoint, we must support that person 100% to become the Fifth Mizukage. Our Godaime Mizukage!”

Terumi Mei was stunned when she heard that.

“This, this, this…” She took the water shadow hat.

And looked up at Master Yuan who looked serious in front of him.

“Genshi-sama, if you do this, wouldn’t it mean that after the fifth generation Mizukage is elected in the future, the person Kirigakure really talks about is not the fifth generation at all, but the Whitebeard Pirates?”

Terumi Mei was speechless: “In this case, wouldn’t our Kirigakure Village become a vassal of the Whitebeard Pirates? Just like the Kusanagi Village that has been annihilated by the Whitebeard Pirates?”

“Ming, today is different from the past.”

Genshi’s cloudy eyes are the great wisdom of the several Mizukages: “I have a hunch that within the next twenty years, the structure of the ninja world may undergo earth-shaking changes.”

“Today’s Kirigakure must rely on the Whitebeard Pirates. In this way, we can continue to call ourselves one of the five great ninja villages. Otherwise, do you think the current Kirigakure is worthy of this title?”

Terumi Mei was speechless.

Because Master Genshi is right, if we don’t rely on the power of the Whitebeard Pirates, what if there is a war in the future…

With the Kirigakure Village being torn to pieces by the Fourth Mizukage?

Maybe even Sunagakure Village can’t be defeated?

“Remember… if we sit on the same boat with the Whitebeard Pirates, our Kirigakure Village can be prosperous.” Yuanshi said: “The starting point of all this is for the village, for the Kingdom of Water, and especially for those who Common people who don’t have enough to eat.”

The Kirigakure Village is in desperate need of progress.

In the eyes of Master Yuan, if the Whitebeard Pirates can embrace the thick legs, why should Kirigakure Village not be able to make progress?

As for whether it would be embarrassing to do so?

For a politician like him, there is no word shame in the dictionary.

If you kneel in front of Whitebeard and recognize Whitebeard as your father, you can change Kirigakure Village for the better.

Master Yuan was definitely the first to kneel down, and also the first to recognize Whitebeard as his father.

Even at his current age…
