Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Lei Luo's reaction would be so bland when he mentioned Hanzo's name.
'That's not right. From Tsunade's description, the scale and intensity of that battle should be quite high. There was definitely a real fight between Lei Luo and Hanzo. Why...'
Although he felt strange in his heart, Orochimaru wisely did not ask.
"That's it, I found a place by chance..."
Orochimaru spent a few minutes talking, and Lei Luo gradually understood what the other party meant.
The source of the matter lies with Sakumo Hatake, who was in charge of the Rain Country a while ago.
Although the famous White Fang of Konoha had sharp sword skills and amazing physical skills, during a fight with Hanzo, he suffered a lot from Hanzo's poison technique, causing Konoha to lose many troops.
Although Hatake Sakumo didn't say anything afterward, anyone could detect the annoyance and frustration in his heart. After all, his sword skills were better than Hanzo's, but he suffered from such a rudimentary trick as poison, and in the end he could only accept defeat.
.
As a battlefield commander, Mito Kadoyan naturally saw all this.
Taking into account that Hanzo's poison technique not only suppresses high-end combat power, but also the lower-level ninjas who stick to him and die when they touch him, a plan against Hanzo was quickly put on the agenda.
The poison sample was given to Tsunade, a master of medical ninjutsu, for research, but unfortunately he only got the result that "the antidote could not be made."
As for the reason for the failure, Tsunade gave an explanation: Hanzo's poison came from a special kind of Sanshou fish, and this kind of creature is rare in the ninja world, so many past experiences cannot be applied.
If we want to crack it hard, I'm afraid it will take at least several years.
It's hard not to feel disappointed with this result.
After all, Konoha's only opponent at that time was the Land of Rain, and no one thought the war could last that long.
But just when Mito Monobu was about to give up, Tsunade came up with another point of view: If living samples of this special Sanshou fish can be collected, the progress of the research may be greatly accelerated, shortening several years to a few months.
It's not impossible.
The technical background of Da Ninja Village is so unreasonable.
Mito Monobu took a liking to this and quickly gave Tsunade's request.
But the ninja world is so big, where can the Konoha ninjas go to find that damn special Sanshou Fish?
On the other hand, Orochimaru's brain was relatively easy to use, and his thoughts were mainly focused on Hanzo, and the focus of his search was on the Land of Rain.
Perhaps due to fate, Orochimaru quickly found clues to the special sansho fish.
"You're saying that the small village where there are several large sansho fish may be hiding the secret of half-hidden poison?" Lei Luo put his chin in his hand and looked at Orochimaru thoughtfully.
"Since the clues have been found and you have delayed it until now, the defense there must be sufficient?"
Orochimaru nodded helplessly, "There are at least hundreds of rain ninjas stationed there for a long time. I can't take them down by myself, and..."
"I once witnessed Hanzo appear there."
Lei Luo was a little curious this time: "There are hundreds of ninjas, which means there must be sentient ninjas there, so...how did you escape from Hanzo?"
Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo lightly, and said in a neutral tone: "Some of my ninjutsu can block the prying eyes of sentient ninjas, so Hanzo didn't notice me."
Lei Luo nodded, accepting this explanation.
But then, Lei Luo raised another question: "Since you have discovered that place a long time ago, why don't you report it to the superiors and ask for more manpower?"
"You have so many questions." Orochimaru waved his hand slightly impatiently, but still patiently explained: "When I found it, Hatake Sakumo was transferred away. At that time, there was a vacancy for a new top master. We
It fell into a state of strategic defense."
"Under that situation, naturally we can't allocate too many manpower to attack the well-defended Rain Ninja stronghold, so I'm not in a hurry to report it."
"Now that you are here, instead of looking for a bunch of unreliable people, it is better to directly choose the most powerful combat force and complete the goal in one fell swoop."
Lei Luo was indifferent to Orochimaru's compliment, and just sighed clearly: "You want to take all the credit... Orochimaru, do you think I'm easy to get rid of?"
"If your only rewards are the ones mentioned before, then please find another job."
In just a few words, Lei Luo judged Orochimaru's purpose.
From the current point of view, Orochimaru probably only called himself and did not involve anyone else.
And if Lei Luo really agrees to assist Orochimaru in completing the mission, then the focus will only be on "assistance" and "help". In other words, the person who "leads" the completion of this mission is Orochimaru, not Lei Luo.
.
If it really comes to the stage of reward based on merit, there is an essential difference. Even if Lei Luo can get a lot of benefits, it is definitely not too much, at least not worthy of his "worth".
For Lei Luo, this is equivalent to a loss-making transaction, and the risks and returns are completely out of proportion.
You don’t need Orochimaru to provide you with a period of guidance on sealing techniques and scrolls. With just such a few conditions, you want me to fight hundreds of rain ninjas and Hanzo who may appear there?
I'm afraid you are not living in a dream.
Orochimaru seemed to have expected it. Seeing Lei Luo's expression, he quickly smiled and explained: "Don't refuse in a hurry, Lei Luo. Of course, the rewards I can give are not just what I said before."
"Let's do this... I know you like to learn ninjutsu. If you want any ninjutsu, just mention it. As long as I have it, I can teach it to you."
In order to achieve his goal, Orochimaru worked hard.
Hanzo is obviously not an enemy that can be defeated in the short term. It is foreseeable that Konoha ninjas will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future, and it is unknown how many people will die under Hanzo's poisonous techniques.
Although Orochimaru doesn't care much about the lives of unrelated people, he also knows that if he can participate in the production process of the antidote and provide huge help, then Orochimaru's reputation will be greatly improved, and he will be far away from Naruto.
The throne will also be closer.
For Orochimaru at this time, becoming Hokage is still his biggest dream, and all plans are basically implemented around this dream.
Lei Luo didn't understand Orochimaru's inner thoughts, and he wasn't interested in understanding them. At this time, all his attention was focused on the "price" offered by Orochimaru.
"Any Ninjutsu will do..." Lei Luo pondered for a moment, then mentioned a few Ninjutsus that he most wanted to acquire at the moment, all of which were forbidden ones listed in the Book of Sealings.
Orochimaru was secretly shocked by Lei Luo's "knowledge", but thinking that Danzo might have told him this, he couldn't help but curse the old guy in his heart.
Lei Luo seemed to be "knowledgeable", but Orochimaru couldn't fool him with some "street stall goods".
Seeing Lei Luo staring at him intently, Orochimaru had no choice but to tell the truth:
"I don't have the art of spiritual transformation, but I can introduce you to someone who knows this art."
"I do know the art of reincarnation from dirty earth, but don't blame me for not warning you in advance: this art is not perfect at the moment, and the dirty earth body that is summoned has no consciousness at all, and its strength is less than one-tenth of what it was in life."
"Eight Gate Dunjia? What do you want that kind of skill for?"
Lei Luo shook his head impatiently, "Why do you ask so many questions? Just tell me if you have any."
