068. Toad and Snake

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Several weeks passed like this, and finally the mission of guarding the fourth generation came to an end.

As the sun set, Hinata Zou and Yin left the Hokage Building and talked about the reforms that the Fourth Generation might implement in the future.

Hyugazo boldly guessed that the Fourth Generation would start with the Uchiha and solve the Uchiha problem. The Fourth Generation would then gain the support of the largest clan in the village and completely consolidate his position.

Uchibo just smiled and looked at Hinata without saying a word. The behavior of the clan members would not change due to the change of Hokage. Maintaining that arrogant attitude and carrying out the work of the security team would definitely arouse the resentment of the villagers.

But it's just disgust. It's not like his work and attitude have turned against the villagers.

Hinata shook his head slightly. Many things could not be explained. Who could have thought that Uchiha would eventually perish in the hands of traitors due to various changes.

Passing by the bustling streets of the village and buying some desserts and snacks, Hinata's eyes suddenly froze.

Looking along Hinagazou's line of sight, Yin easily saw the pale figure in front of him, walking towards the two of them.

"It's Lord Orochimaru..." Uchibo said.

Hinata nodded slightly and stayed where he was, looking at Orochimaru with caution in his heart.

Although Orochimaru did not leave the village, he was still wary. This guy would do anything to pursue science.

"Hyugazo, Uchibo..." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse, "We meet again."

"Yes, what a coincidence, Lord Orochimaru..." Hinata said cautiously.

Orochimaru nodded and smiled sinisterly: "Sure enough, I was right. You and Uchibo are both outstanding ninjas with considerable talents..."

Hinata became more vigilant and began to look unhappy.

After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "If you weren't attracted by the Fourth Generation, I would really like to eliminate you, but if you are willing, I can also talk to the Fourth Generation."

Hyugazo shook his head slightly: "Thank you Orochimaru-sama for your kindness, but we are the fourth generation's ANBU!"

Orochimaru examined Hinata Zou for a long time, then glanced at Uchibo, and said with emotion: "That's really a pity. Becoming my subordinate can quickly improve your strength."

Hinata looked at Orochimaru and felt that what Orochimaru said seemed to make some sense.

After Orochimaru's experimental transformations, his strength will indeed be greatly improved, but the upper limit is also fixed.

He and Yin don't need those at all, or those techniques can't improve their strength at all.

The atmosphere seemed to be at a stalemate like this. Hinata Zou couldn't leave before Orochimaru. Being followed by a poisonous snake would always send chills down the spine.

Fortunately, at this moment, another figure appeared on the street. After he saw Orochimaru, he hurried over.

"Orochimaru, you are here."

Jiraiya was holding wine in his hand and his face was a little rosy. As soon as he came up, he wanted to hook Orochimaru's shoulders, but Orochimaru got out of the way in time.

"Orochimaru, I have a bold plan and I need your help."

"I refuse!" Orochimaru's cold tone was filled with helplessness, and then he looked at Hinata Zou and Yin, and said: "The deal I mentioned last time is still valid. If you have time, you can come to the root base to find me..."

After finishing speaking, Orochimaru left on his own initiative and disappeared in a corner of the street.

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief. Being targeted by Orochimaru was not good news. The reason may be because of the position of ANBU, or because of the identities of Hinata and Uchiha.

No matter what point, we cannot take it lightly in the future, and there is another reason for refusing to leave the village.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Hinata looked at Jiraiya again in front of him. Compared with Orochimaru, Jiraiya was much easier to get along with.

But now Jiraiya's face is red and his condition looks very wrong...

Is it because of the fake alcohol? As a Sannin, you must abide by the Three Ninja Taboos.

"It's Hinata Zou!"

After raising his head and seeing Hinata clearly, Jiraiya repeated his previous words, "I have a bold plan and need your help!"

"Jiraiya-sama, can I refuse..."

Based on Jiraiya's tone and expression, Hinata Zang felt that this plan would ruin his reputation.

"Hyugazo, I thought we should be of the same kind. You have the Byakugan and I have the experience to execute the plan perfectly..."

After a pause, Jiraiya wanted to say something more, but when he saw Hinata hiding behind his voice, he sighed: "We are not the same kind of people, but we will be soon, after I go out to travel..."

With that said, Jiraiya left without looking back and walked towards where Orochimaru left.

After Jiraiya left, Uchibo looked at Hinata and asked curiously: "What is the plan Lord Jiraiya said?"

Hinata shook his head and sighed, "Jiraiya-sama asked me to go to the bathhouse. Byakugan can see through..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... you are such a person," Uchibo said with disdain in his eyes. After glancing at his mouth, he protected his body and said, "You... when you turned on your Byakugan before, did you do that?"

"Don't worry..." Hyugazo explained: "I'm not the kind of person who peeps, and you don't need to watch Yin?"

"?"

Uchibo didn't say a word, but there was a subtle change in his mind.



After Jiraiya turned the corner, he threw away the wine bottle and his face became clear again.

He looked at Orochimaru's back in front of him and followed him silently.

For a ninja of his level, alcohol no longer has much effect. Unless he wants to, it is difficult to be truly intoxicated, not to mention that he doesn't drink much.

"Jiraiya, it seems you're awake."

At some point, Orochimaru appeared in front of Jiraiya, holding his waist with one hand and looking at the latter.

"Orochimaru, are you still angry about running for Hokage?" After a pause, Jiraiya continued: "Minato's successful election was the result of everyone in the village voting together..."

Orochimaru said calmly: "I originally thought you were running for Hokage, but I didn't expect Minato Namikaze to be the candidate. But the voting results... Humph, whether you or Minato Namikaze are the Hokage, aren't they both puppets of the old man?"

Orochimaru was very dissatisfied with the fact that he failed to run for Hokage. He did not want the position of Hokage, but he was dissatisfied with the third generation's methods. In terms of merit and qualifications, he was no worse than Namikaze Minato, and was better.

Jiraiya tried to explain: "The old man is not such a person, and Minato is not a puppet."

Orochimaru's expression did not change at all, and he crossed his arms and said, "You are right, but can you stop following me now? We should all have important things to do."

After saying that, Orochimaru turned into a black shadow and disappeared completely.

Jiraiya was stunned and did not pursue him. He still had many things to say to his teammates in the team, but it still turned into a sigh in his heart.

In the three-person team, Tsunade has left, and Orochimaru has joined the root.

He is the only one still performing the mission...

No, even he was running around the ninja world, looking for the son of prophecy with sky-blue eyes for the Great Toad Sage.

The Sannin who were once united no longer live up to their name.
