Konoha: I, Orochimaru, Study Blood

The Land of Rain is located in the middle of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth, and belongs to the buffer zone between the great powers.

In the past, this was a no-nonsense Black zone. Ninja spies from all over the world could sneak into the Land of Rain at will. It was also a routine operation to do burning, killing, and looting while spying on intelligence.

In recent years, with the new generation of Rain Shinobi Village leader Hanzō of the Salamander coming to power, he quickly integrated the disorganized Rain Shinobi ninjas, actively expanded his armaments, and at the same time fought against foreign invading ninjas!

Konoha had sent several groups of spy ninjas before, but they all lost contact one after another, even Jōnin was not spared.

For this reason, Third Hokage had to dispatch Orochimaru from Elite Jōnin to infiltrate Rain Shinobi Village to spy on information.

"Wow~"

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a patter of rain.

The Land of Rain is located among mountains, rivers and valleys, and has a unique terrain and rainy weather. More than 200 days out of 365 days a year are rainy seasons.

The land densely covered by water networks has become a natural barrier to block the invasion of foreign enemies.

"Everything in Area A is normal!"

"Everything in Area B is normal!"

"Everything in Area C is normal!"

"D area detected a creature approaching! Alert!"

"Let your guard down..."

"Just a water snake."

Rain Shinobi ninjas patrol the border and can detect creatures that move underwater with the help of a perception ward covering waterways.

A water snake slowly wandered underwater, swimming towards the distant shore, without arousing the slightest notice from the Rain Shinobi ninja.

"Hiss~"

After the water snake came ashore, it revealed the snake letter, and after confirming that there was no one around, it opened its mouth.

"Ninja-Snake-belly Hidden Technique!"

I saw Orochimaru's body spit out from the snake's mouth.

"Successful infiltration."

Orochimaru looked up to the sky, letting the rain fall on him.

Payne in the original book can use rainwater to launch the "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique" to perceive all targets covered by rainwater!

But obviously, Hanzō of the Salamander does not have such ability.

Orochimaru put on a black cloak to protect him from the rain, and headed towards Rain Shinobi Village. He encountered several waves of ninja patrols along the way, but he easily bypassed them.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the small town of Black ahead.

"Is that the Rain Shinobi Village?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

The architectural style of Rain Shinobi Village is a tall tower made of reinforced concrete. In order to cope with the rainy weather, a large number of drainage pipes were built.

"Stop! Who are you?"

The ninja guarding the gate of Rain Shinobi Village immediately stepped forward and stopped Orochimaru.

"My own people."

The moment Orochimaru lifted his cloak, he cast a hint of illusion.

The other party's eyes flickered, looking at the ninja forehead protector on Orochimaru's forehead, which turned into a vertical raindrop pattern of Rain Shinobi ninja.

"Brother, are you back from missions?"

The Rain Shinobi guard grinned and rubbed his palms, hinting something skillfully.

"Yes."

Orochimaru casually threw a few banknotes to the other party.

"Yo~ It's still the hard currency of the Fire Nation!"

"Brother has a way!"

The Rain Shinobi guards didn't have the slightest doubt as to why Orochimaru had money from the Fire Nation.

For a small country troubled by many disasters, the currency system of the Rain Country has already collapsed, and it can only passively accept foreign exchange from big countries. The country of fire, the strongest among the five major countries, is undoubtedly the most valuable currency.

"I am Chunin of the Kusanagi family, and I have been performing missions outside for many years."

"Has there been any major incidents in the village recently?"

Orochimaru made up an identity, and asked the two about Rain Shinobi Village.

"The Kusanagi clan...!"

The Rain Shinobi guards looked at each other with weird expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Orochimaru remained calm.

He thought to himself: According to the information he learned from the mission scroll, the Kusanagi family is a famous family in Rain Shinobi Village, so it shouldn’t be easy to see through the impersonation.

"Um...nothing."

"It's just that the atmosphere in the village is a bit tense recently. Lord Hanzo is cracking down on the rebellion."

The Rain Shinobi guard's eyes wandered, as if trying to hide something.

"Has there been a rebellion in Rain Shinobi Village..."

Orochimaru's eyes moved, and he silently recorded this valuable information in his heart.

He wanted to continue to ask about the details of the rebellion, but he found that the other party looked at him strangely, so in order to avoid revealing his identity, he decisively chose to leave.

"I'm going back to the village to submit the task first."

Orochimaru passed the guard in front of him and entered the Rain Shinobi Village.

Sensing that someone was following him, Orochimaru turned and entered a dead-end alley, using Earth Style to pass through the wall.

"Huh? Where are people!"

"Damn it! Master Hanzo said that a bounty of 50,000 taels will be rewarded for capturing a rebel from the Kusanagi clan!"

Rain Shinobi guards are cursing.

Orochimaru would never have imagined that the identity he made up casually would turn out to be a gangster Hanzo offered a bounty to catch!

.........

Orochimaru walked in the streets and alleys of Rain Shinobi Village. Since he was not familiar with the environment here, he could not wander around casually, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

"I have to find a place and ask for information."

Orochimaru glanced around for a week, and finally locked his eyes on a small shop in a dark corner, with a flashing pink neon sign: Love of the Rain~Nest.

Tsk~ Isn't this Jiraiya's favorite place to go?

Orochimaru walked over with a grim expression on his face.

Do not misunderstand!

He has no interest in this romantic place at all, it's just for inquiring about information!
