Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Half a month later.

Hokage conference room.

The third generation general put down the pipe in his hand, took a puff of smoke, looked around at the senior village officials present, the head of the Ninja clan, and said slowly,

"I just got news that the Kumogakure envoy who came to Konoha for peace talks was beheaded by a bounty hunter yesterday and was exchanged for the bounty on the black market."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the Hokage room, and everyone looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions of surprise.

Although there are some strong men in the black market and bounty hunters, most of them rely on shady tasks to make a living. How dare they dare to provoke the two major ninja villages like this?

"Don't underestimate these desperadoes. The two S-class traitorous ninjas who took action are Kakuzu and the Red Sand Scorpion."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Tsunade, who was looking angry, and said in a deep voice, "It would be fine if this happened in other countries, but they died in the Land of Fire. These guys must be taught a lesson."

Naturally, no one had any objections. Most of the rebel ninjas and bounty hunters were mid-level genin, and only a handful of them were powerful, even worse than the small ninja village.

The risk is not high, but the benefits of wiping out the black market are not small at all, no less than a forbearance battle.

"The Uchiha, Hinata, Nara and other ninja clans each sent out a certain number of elite ninjas to form wartime teams to wipe out the black market with all their strength."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, "Danzo will be the commander, and Jiraiya will be the deputy to direct this operation."

The two Hokage advisors were away, and they had to take charge of the village. The only people they could use were Orochimaru, the others, and Danzo.

Orochimaru aside, Tsunade and Jiraiya are not good at encirclement and suppression, pursuit and killing tasks. These things still depend on Danzo who is used to dirty work.

"..."

Fugaku frowned. He had a bad opinion of Danzo and did not want his clan members to be under Danzo's command. However, Orochimaru was not here at the moment and the other ninja clan had no objections, so he could not speak.

However, unexpectedly, Danzo objected,

"Jiraiya is the deputy commander? I'm afraid this is not appropriate. He has the duty to protect the Nine-Tailed people and help them. How can he be distracted by such a trivial matter?"

Danzo pointed at the empty seat outside the long table, one eye flashing with inexplicable meaning, "Orochimaru... what is he doing?"

Since leaving the secret laboratory that day, he had sent people to inquire about Orochimaru's whereabouts, but half a month had passed and he still could not find him.

Danzo was very suspicious that Orochimaru had secretly left the village again, or that he was indulging in some kind of experiment.

The former was fine, but the latter was not conducive to his plan. He had to find a way to find out Orochimaru's specific whereabouts, and now was an excellent opportunity.

Jiraiya said, "Orochimaru is busy practicing and can't get away."

"What kind of practice is so important? Can it be compared to the tasks in the village?"

A clear sneer appeared on Danzo's lips. He glanced at Fugaku, "Don't do any experiments again."

Fugaku's expression changed and he regained his composure. He was upright and was not afraid of the shadow. No matter what Orochimaru was doing, there was absolutely no Uchiha involved this time.

But having said that, the eyes of the ninja clan chiefs present became a little strange, and they looked at Jiraiya with a vague look of inquiry.

The changes that happened to Uchiha Shinsuke were not just the third generation, Danzo was concerned about, they were also curious and eager.

‘Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality’—How can Uchiha always be given the upper hand by a surgery that can improve his strength?

Realizing this, Jiraiya secretly complained in his heart, he really didn't know what Orochimaru was doing, and the so-called practice was just prevarication.

Danzo's eyes flashed with pride, "Jiraiya, it seems that you don't know too well, but you can't find Orochimaru, and the same goes for asking his subordinates to contact him. That Yakushi Kabuto..."

"No need to bother."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, interrupting Danzo's next words. He looked around the crowd and said slowly,

"Orochimaru is indeed practicing, and he has reported it to me. As for why he can't get away, it's because he is practicing immortal arts."

"Immortal magic?"

Everyone present looked at each other and turned pale, seeing the surprise on each other's faces.

This word, even in Konoha, is a strange word in the entire ninja world, and it is the same for them, the ninja elites.

Is Konoha going to have another strong man who uses senjutsu?

Danzo was worried, but he also knew very little about senjutsu. Although he knew that this was the third generation's prevarication, it was still difficult to question it.

It seems that if you want to find out Orochimaru's whereabouts, you still have to attack Yakushi Kabuto.

Danzo's eyes flashed coldly.

After seeing that no one had any objections, the third generation nodded slightly and continued to arrange the task of cleaning up the black market in the Country of Fire.

…

A martial arts field not far from the Uchiha clan.

Kabuto Yakushi held his knees and gasped for air. His whole body was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

However, after just a moment, his breathing became evener, and new strength surged out of his already depleted physical strength, allowing him to continue training without any obstacles.

When Kai saw this scene, he was amazed, "Aunt Kui is like this, and so are you. This physical skill talent is too good."

After training for such a long time, Kai knew very well that neither of them took any additional medicinal materials, nor did they rely on willpower to support themselves. It was purely due to their special physiques.

Even Kabuto would feel a little uncomfortable being praised for his talent by a real Taijutsu master.

But it was impossible to explain. He believed that Kai's character was not someone who would leak secrets casually, but he also believed that Kai's carefree character would reveal it unintentionally.

Of course, the more important reason is that Lord Orochimaru has no intention of letting Kai use the cell fusion fluid, and it would be annoying to say it.

After a few more rounds of training, Kai said, "I can only train with you until here today. You have to perform tasks starting tomorrow. Don't let your body get too tired."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded, stopped training, and followed Kai towards the center of the village.

"Are you going to stop practicing for a while?" Kai scratched his head and asked doubtfully.

Kabuto Yakushi naturally did not intend to continue training. He knew his identity very well - a 'traitor' at the root.

Although this is near the Uchiha clan, you still can't be careless and put yourself in a defenseless state.

You know, he was caught by the Uchiha Guards last time.

But obviously this cannot be told to Kai. The pharmacist Kabutan said calmly, "This is Lord Orochimaru's order."

"Oh, I see, it's Orochimaru-sensei's order."

Kai asked casually and was satisfied when he heard Yakushi Kabuto's casual words.

Seeing Kai's careless behavior, Kabuto Yakushi was also a little speechless.

Perhaps, only such a straight person can master Taijutsu to such an extent. It is really worthy of Orochimaru-sama's attention.

Orochimaru did not intend to let Kai take ordinary cell fusion fluid, as it would destroy Kai's long-trained body.

But if perfect fusion at the cellular level can be achieved, Orochimaru will not be stingy with this disciple.

Orochimaru's attention to Kai even made Kabuto Yakushi, who had always been indifferent to other things, a little jealous.

"Gene Era"

But after taking a look at Kai who was cheerful and looking forward to dinner, Kabuto Yakushi shook his head again.

It's really hard to dislike such a simple guy.

Pushing up his glasses, Kabuto Yakushi jumped up and followed him.

However, what he didn't find was that an insect the size of a pore was attached to his clothes.
