Chapter 17: The Secret Meeting with Orochimaru
Only the Reincarnated Eye possessed such insight, and the others, including Itachi, who had not yet opened their eyes, did not notice the flash of surprise on Shennong's face.
And the Hyuga Mirror, who was aware of this, pondered in his heart.
"Seeing Orochimaru and Jiraiya, why is this guy Shennong happy? Orochimaru's defection to Konoha is known to the world, and he and Jilai also appeared at the same time, one plus one subtraction, it stands to reason that there is no substantial help to our current situation, unless... Unless this guy Shennong can be sure that Orochimaru and Jilai will also join forces to help us deal with the Yunyin Ninja..."
"Then how can he be sure that Orochimaru, who is a renegade ninja, will help?"
"Knowing that Yun Yin was chasing him at this time, why did he insist on coming to Tian Zhiguo?"
"He hired a Konoha ninja escort with great fanfare, did he want to provoke a dispute between Konoha and Yun Yin? So how sure was he that he would be able to get out of it all? ”
"Could it be... Isn't it a coincidence that you met Orochimaru here? His hole card is Orochimaru, who is hiding in the country of Tano? ”
"He's Orochimaru's man!? No, he is an empty ninja remnant, and he must not be Orochimaru's subordinate, there should be some kind of cooperative relationship between him and Orochimaru! ”
The observed information, combined with vague memories, quickly had an answer.
But no matter what, the unexpected appearance of Orochimaru and Jiraiya is a turning point for the Hyuga Mirror, if Orochimaru really cooperates with Shennong, then he will not ignore Shennong, and Jiraiya will not let the Konoha ninja be killed by the Yunyin ninja in front of him.
As soon as the thought turned, Hinata immediately put his hands behind his back and made a gesture to Itachi.
Seeing this, Itachi hurriedly took out a Konoha signal stick for help and threw it high into the sky.
Bang bang bang...
With a loud roar, the signal rod exploded in the air in three red clouds of smoke.
In fact, there is no need for Itachi's signal flare for help, and at the same time that Hinata Mirror and others found Orochimaru, and at the same time as Jiraiya, they also found Hinata Mirror and others, and they tacitly stopped fighting and rushed over together.
Soon, one after the other, the two figures of Orochimaru and Jiraiya appeared in front of Hinata Mirror and others.
Looking at the people in front of him, Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, and said with a sad smile: "I didn't expect to meet Yun Yin's human pillar force here, it seems that I have gained something today!" ”
Jiraiya hurriedly said: "Orochimaru, don't come nonsense, it will cause a war!" ”
Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya, took his eyes off Yunyin Yukito's body, glanced at the Hyuga Mirror and his party, stayed on the Hyuga Mirror and Itachi for a while, and finally landed on Shennong's body, revealing a playful smile.
On Yunyin's side, with the successive appearance of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Yukito no longer has the composure he used to have, and the three Yunyin ninjas who are traveling with him are even more like great enemies.
Unlike the Hinata Mirror who paddled in the war, and the fledgling Itachi, the prestige of Orochimaru and Jiraiya was created through one battle after another, even if he was as conceited as Yukito, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore when he saw these two.
"Today's business is not over!"
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yumu Ren threw down a cruel word and decisively led the team to evacuate.
Orochimaru had no intention of pursuing at all, he still crossed his waist and stood quietly in place, obviously his previous words were just to scare Yunyin's Yugiren.
Seeing that the Yunyin ninja took the initiative to retreat, Jiraiya on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Hinata Mirror moved the object of vigilance from the cloud hidden ninja to Orochimaru's body, and asked tentatively, "Jiraiya-sama, do you need our help?" ”
Orochimaru is a Konoha traitor, and on the surface, Hinata Mirror, as a Konoha ninja, naturally has to take a stand.
Jiraiya waved his hand: "Orochimaru is not something you can deal with, there is nothing for you to do here, go and carry out your own tasks." ”
Hyuga Mirror was just a gesture, and when he heard this, he didn't say much, and immediately left with Itachi and Shennong.
After experiencing this turmoil, the three of them became more cautious, they bypassed all the towns, did not deal with anyone, and when they encountered flat and open, unobstructed terrain, they even changed to day and night.
With such care, the three of them finally arrived at their destination safely a week later.
There was indeed a plague in this village, and there was a depression everywhere in sight, and there was indeed a villager who claimed to have written a letter from him, asking Shennong to come to the village to cure the plague.
Hyuga Mirror already knew about Shennong's identity, so he pretended not to know anything, and completed the B-class escort mission this time according to the prescribed procedures.
On the way back, Itachi looked back at the village behind him and said in a low voice, "Captain, there is something wrong with this Shennong. ”
"I know, but it's none of our business."
After a moment's hesitation, Itachi said, "I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that he is hostile to us Konoha." ”
Hinata looked at Itachi with some surprise, and said half-loudly, "Maybe." ”
The empty ninja village was destroyed by Konoha, and it is normal for Shennong to be hostile to Konoha.
The fact that Hinata Mirror was able to judge Shennong's identity was because of the memories of his previous life, and Itachi had such a keen intuition at such a young age, which really surprised Hinata Mirror.
When camping at night, Hinata noticed a secret message left by Orochimaru on a big tree not far away, and knew that Orochimaru was summoning him, so he casually made an excuse with Itachi and quietly came to the meeting place.
As soon as Hinata arrived, Orochimaru's figure came out of the shadows.
Hinata said respectfully as always: "Orochimaru-sama." ”
Orochimaru looked at Hinata Mirror with interest, and it took a long time before he said, "Mirror-kun, the feeling you gave me this time doesn't seem to be quite the same as before. ”
Hinata replied calmly: "Thanks to you, I almost died in the hands of the village, which will be somewhat different." ”
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth were raised, and he smiled: "Is it a blessing in disguise?" Then you have to thank Tuan Zang. ”
"Are you saying that this purge was caused by Tuan Zang?"
"Well, I overestimated his tools and underestimated his means." Orochimaru looked casual, as if he was saying something completely unrelated to him.
Hinata Kagami said tentatively, "It seems that you must have robbed him of some kind of treasure." ”
Orochimaru didn't deny it, but smiled: "Yes, it's indeed a very good baby." ”
After confirming his guess, Hinata Mirror did not continue to probe again, but took the initiative to change the topic and asked softly, "That Shennong is your person, right?" ”
Orochimaru looked at the Hyuga mirror: "Even this is not hidden from you, you are really different from before." ”
Hinata shook her head humbly: "It's he who has revealed too many flaws, not to mention me, even the little guy in Uchiha has noticed something." ”
Smiling noncommittally, Orochimaru said, "He stole some secret techniques about physical regeneration from Yun Yin, which is very helpful for my current experiments. ”
"I see, no wonder Yun Yin sent such a strong pursuit team!"
Seeing that Hinata Mirror seemed to be very interested, Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice: "Mirror, if you are interested, I can also consider giving you a copy." ”
