Chapter 13: Encounters
Seeing someone coming, after the scorpion swept away the poisonous bees that attacked him, he also looked up slightly at the white-haired boy who suddenly appeared, and then looked at Orochimaru, and was slightly surprised in his heart.
Orochimaru said that this Konoha ninja called Beryuhu was born at the same time as him, and Orochimaru is now forty-one years old, and it stands to reason that Beryuhu at the same time as him should also be around forty years old.
But now it looks like this white-haired Konoha ninja is still a teenager.
Orochimaru is already a ninja with a good face, and he is still like a young man in his twenties in his forties. But Beryuhu is younger than him, and no matter how you look at it, it's not normal.
I remember that Orochimaru said that Beryuhu was expelled by Konoha because he learned a certain forbidden art.
The reason why he looks young may be due to the power of that forbidden art.
Ninjas who can practice forbidden arts are not simple goods.
When Beryuhu over there heard Orochimaru's greeting, he just replied to him indifferently:
"You're the most amazing one compared to me. obviously has such an enviable future, but he gave up his good future and betrayed Konoha. ”
Although the tone was flat, it was difficult to hide a trace of jealousy.
He was born at the same time as Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, but unlike these three, his talent was very mediocre.
When the three of Orochimaru were rampant in the ninja world in the name of the three ninjas, he was just a transparent ninja in Konoha and did not deserve the attention of the upper echelons.
And among the three ninjas, the most talented ninja is undoubtedly Orochimaru.
The other party can be said to be his ideal ninja.
Ninja illusion is omnipotent, has a smart mind, and can serve as a commander during the Great Ninja War, and has also made successful achievements in research.
His single talent, when taken out, is worthy of the envy and jealousy of many ninjas.
But all these talents are concentrated in Orochimaru alone, which is where Beiliuhu has the most inferiority.
Is it true that mortals can't surpass geniuses?
That's why he risked his life to practice forbidden arts.
In order to surpass the so-called genius and become the strongest ninja in the ninja world.
"When you see something that's stagnant, it's natural to feel bored. I'm just interested in the flowing wind. ”
Orochimaru said with a smile.
"Really? So what did you come to me for? I also brought people I didn't know. ”
If Orochimaru was still a Konoha ninja at the moment, Beryuhu naturally felt that when Orochimaru came to find him, he must have caught himself and returned to Konoha.
But now that Orochimaru has betrayed Konoha and become an S-class defector ninja like him, the purpose for him to come to him is worth pondering.
He scanned back and forth between Orochimaru and the scorpion, thoughtful.
Black Background ...... Red Cloud ...... At first glance, it's a standard costume.,Orochimaru, is this joining a certain organization?
And this guy who seems to be a puppeteer gives him a very dangerous feeling.
Compared to Orochimaru, the other party doesn't even have a trace of human smell.
It's like you're facing a cold piece of iron.
"I forgot to introduce, this is the Red Sand Scorpion of the Sand Hide, and now he is my colleague."
Orochimaru is not in a hurry to introduce it to Beiliuhu.
"Red Sand Scorpion?"
Beryuhu glanced at the scorpion unexpectedly.
This ugly and vulgar five-haired man is the red sand scorpion of Shayin?
However, isn't the Red Sand Scorpion a handsome young man with red hair?
His vulgar appearance is completely out of step with the word handsome.
Soon Beryuhu figured something out and nodded.
"I guess I know, but what's the matter with you coming to me? My research is at a critical juncture, and I don't have time to play any organizational games with you. ”
As for the purpose of Orochimaru coming to find himself, Beryuhu can see one or two from the uniform uniform of him and the scorpion.
I'm here to invite myself to join their organization.
However, he had no interest in this.
His forbidden research reached a critical juncture, and he didn't have time to join an inexplicable organization.
Orochimaru smiled unconcernedly, and said to Beiliuhu: "The organization we belong to is called 'Xiao', and this time I came to ask you to join this organization. The organization is now short of manpower, and it can be described as a thirst for talent. With my personal recommendation, there is no need for a series of troublesome audits. ”
Xiao's official members are very strict in their review.
But that's for non-staff personnel.
If he, a core member, recommends Beiliuhu, he can skip the cumbersome assessment and directly join the ranks of the full members.
This is also one of the privileges of being a core member.
"You know, I'm not interested in anything other than forbidden studies. If you're here to do that, you can go back. ”
Beryuhu is not afraid to make a move with Orochimaru.
In the past, he really wouldn't be Orochimaru's opponent, and now it is estimated that he is also very hanging, but after initially completing the forbidden technique, he still has no problem escaping.
What's more, this is his territory, and if Orochimaru wants to do something with him, he has to weigh it.
He is no longer the Konoha ninja who was at the mercy of the three ninjas.
"Don't be too busy refusing, and don't let you be a coolie for nothing. Your Demon Nyoto Technique, you should need a powerful Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja. ”
Orochimaru said firmly.
He also touched on the forbidden technique of Ghost Nago, which he studied in Beruhu, and although it couldn't be compared with Beruhu's in-depth study, he also knew that if Ghost Nago's art wanted to become a complete body, it would require a large number of Blood Inheritance Limit Ninjas.
Integrating the blood inheritance limit of those blood inheritance ninjas and turning it into one's own use is an extremely terrifying forbidden technique.
Because of this forbidden technique, Beryuhu's current strength may be a little weak, but as long as he is given enough blood inheritance limit ninja materials, his strength can soar and reach a very terrifying realm.
This is also the reason why he wants to join Xiao.
"Yes and what? I have my own plans to capture the Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja. ”
"But it takes time, doesn't it? Your intelligence system is not perfect at all, and there is a possibility for your ghost bud Luo technique. Akatsuki can provide you with sufficient logistics, and the intelligence system can be shared with you to help you when you implement your plans. ”
Orochimaru grabbed Beryuhu's sore spot and poked it violently.
Beryuhu was just a transparent shinobi in Konoha at the beginning, so when he defected to Konoha, he basically didn't correspond to him, but chased and killed a lot of Shangnin and the shadows.
In addition, after leaving Konoha, he lived in seclusion here, but he only knew something about the major events in the ninja world, but the information on the details was very poor.
It's not so easy to know the traces of the Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja.
Orochimaru's words silenced Beryuhu slightly.
Although he is reluctant to admit it, Orochimaru is telling the truth.
On more than one occasion, he wanted to build a well-formed intelligence system to prepare for the capture of the Blood Relay Limit.
However, a formed intelligence system requires not only people, but also a lot of money.
As a lone ranger in the ninja world, all the research equipment in the base here has spent all his savings.
It is also extremely important for him to establish an intelligence system.
"What is your purpose?"
Beryuhu asked with a frown.
When he asked this, his heart had already begun to waver.
"It's very simple, all you need to do is catch a few cute critters for the organization. Usually the organization basically does not restrict your freedom, and it meets regularly once a month. ”
It's not that strict, really.
However, what Orochimaru said in his mouth was to catch a few cute little animals, which made Beryuhu very puzzled.
An organization that gathers S-class defector ninjas just to catch a few animals?
"The conditions are very attractive, and it doesn't hurt to go with you."
I didn't say that I would agree directly, but if it was really as Orochimaru said, this organization could provide him with a lot of convenient logistical support, and he usually had a lot of free time, and he only needed one regular meeting a month, which was not very restrictive to him.
The scorpion snorted softly and did not speak.

After leaving Konoha, Ayane returned to the Star Ninja Village, where she oversaw the rebuilding of the Village.
Originally, the Star Ninja Village was just a dilapidated village made up of a large number of wooden houses, whether it was a hospital or a ninja school, it was very shabby.
Ayane, who is used to staying in the country of ghosts, is a little unaccustomed to going to Konoha, and the Star Ninja Village is more like a tribal building of a prehistoric civilization.
However, this is also directly related to the fact that nobles such as the Daimyo of Kuma Country do not want the Star Ninja Village to become strong.
For the ninja village, the daimyo of each country have their own set of opinions, on the one hand, they hope for the power of the ninja village, and on the other hand, they need to limit the development of the ninja village to balance the situation.
But now it's different, the Daimyo of Kuma no Kuni, who thinks that his cronie Akakage, has completely mastered the Star Ninja Village.
Therefore, after the ninjas of the Oni Country attacked the Star Ninja Village and disguised themselves as the ninjas of the Star Ninja Village, in less than a week, the Daimyo of the Bear Country successively distributed three batches of sufficient development materials, allowing Red Shadow to vigorously build the Star Ninja Village.
For this, Ayane naturally accepted it gladly.
Although the logistics of the Ghost Country are sufficient, how can the materials sent for nothing be turned away?
According to the military expansion plan drawn up by the Oni Country, building the Star Ninja Village into a complete military fortress is a key part of the plan.
Construction is naturally a top priority, but there is another reason why Ayane is here.
That is to assimilate the hundreds of ninjas in the Star Ninja Village, as well as countless villagers, and turn them into their own.
This requires the ideological educators of the Oni Country to come here to teach courses in person.
A large number of craftsmen began to build in the forests and mountains around the village of Hoshinobi, and continued to build buildings.
At this rate, in three to five months, it should be possible to build a prototype of a military fortress.
After all, all the original buildings of Star Ninja Village need to be renovated, and the territory needs to be expanded on a large scale, so the time spent will naturally increase.
With the Star Ninja Village in their hands, the follow-up Oni Country military once again sent five hundred ninjas into the Bear Country in batches to gather here in the Star Ninja Village.
He was accompanied by several ninjas of the Uzumaki clan, who used powerful enchantment techniques to envelop the forest area centered on the Star Ninja Village in an enchantment to prevent attacks by beasts and enemies.
With the addition of the three hundred ninjas originally dispatched, there are now nearly eight hundred ninja units stationed in the Star Ninja Village.
This number of ninjas has surpassed the number of ninjas in Star Ninja Village, and in terms of ninja quality, it is naturally far superior to Star Ninja Village, which protects this place impenetrably.
Since the development of the Oni Country, there are more than 7,000 ninjas in total, and 800 ninjas have been thrown into the Bear Country, and the armed forces in the country are still surplus.
With the help of these ninjas, it can be said that the pressure on Ayane's body has been greatly reduced, and she doesn't have to worry about dealing with various chores every day.
She just wanted to finish the affairs of the Star Ninja Village as soon as possible and then return to the land of ghosts.
Just as Ayane was thinking about returning to the land of demons, there was a knock on the door.
Ayane's place was a makeshift office, and when she heard a knock on the door, she said to the ninja outside the door, "Come in." ”
A ninja pushed open the door and walked in from the outside, with a solemn expression on his face, as if something big had happened.
"What's wrong? Are those star ninjas resisting again? ”
Ideological education is certainly not a task that can be accomplished overnight.
There are some guys everywhere who are not afraid of death, and there are many such hard bones in the Star Ninja Village.
So, Ayane's first reaction was this.
"It's not for this, the people of the enchantment group found out that there are ninjas approaching the village."
The ninja replied.
"Ninja? How many people are there in total? Have you identified yourself? ”
Ayane's face straightened slightly, and at this time, a strange ninja appeared, and no clues could be careless.
"The identities of the other two cannot be determined, but one of them is Orochimaru, one of the three shinobi of Konoha."
The ninja's face was heavy.
The names of the three people, many people in the ninja world, are like thunder.
Although the military strength of the Oni Country has skyrocketed, it is still not easy to be careless in the face of ninjas of the level of the three ninjas.
What's more, Orochimaru's strength is recognized as the strongest among the three ninjas.
In the realm of ninja illusions, an all-round ninja with no flaws.
In the face of a ninja of this level, no matter how vigilant you are, it is a matter of course.
Moreover, Orochimaru, who betrayed Konoha and disappeared in the ninja world for nearly two years, suddenly visited the Star Ninja Village at this time, I am afraid that it will not be good.
"Orochimaru?"
Ayane lowered her head, pondered slightly, and then made a decision.
"I'll go over and see for myself, the village is on first-level alert."
Orochimaru is not an ordinary ninja, there is no other ninja here except himself, and he can guarantee that he will be better than Orochimaru in a single fight.
What's more, there are two other people beside Orochimaru, but I'm afraid it's not a simple ninja.
"Yes."

"Hey, Orochimaru, why did you come to such a small village? Aren't you going to take me to your princes? ”
Following Orochimaru and the Scorpion, Beryuhu followed closely behind the two of them and asked.
"Scorpion needs something from Star Ninja Village to use as material for making a puppet, and then take you to the leader. You're not in a hurry right now, aren't you, anyway? ”
Orochimaru turned his head slightly, smiled at Beryuhu and said.
"Is there a treasure in this kind of small village?"
Once a member of the Konoha ninjas, Beryuhu naturally didn't look down on the ninja villages of these remote and small countries.
He is not a fledgling ninja in the ninja world, and he has also experienced the second and third ninja wars and has been to many places in the ninja world.
The ninja village of the small country, he has also visited in the past.
Compared with the almost city-level ninja villages of Konoha, the ninja villages of many small countries are the same as the countryside of the Fire Country, maybe even worse.
A few cabins in a row are the ninja school.
The hospital is also very rudimentary, with only one or two medical ninjas, and the medical equipment is old and dilapidated, giving people a sense of poor backwardness.
This is his consistent impression of Kokuni Shinobi Village.
Of course, there are also relatively powerful small country ninja villages, such as Yuyin Village in the Land of Rain, and Kusain Village in the Country of Grass, which are huge in scale and have a large population.
The scorpion, who was slowly leading the way in front, said in an indifferent tone: "Although it is a small village, there is a treasure in the village. It is said to be a meteorite that fell on the earth from the sky, and was picked up by the first generation of Star Shadow of the Star Ninja Village and became a sacred relic of the Star Ninja Village. It is said that the secret technique of the Star Ninja Village, the Peacock Method, was also cultivated according to this meteorite. ”
Beryuhu didn't care about any extraterrestrial meteorites, he had no interest in them, he was only interested in the powerful Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja.
If his Ghost Bud Luo technique wants to take shape, he needs to plunder the five blood inheritance limits to form a complete body.
Once he becomes a complete body, by that time, there will be no ninjas in the entire ninja world who underestimate him.
Becoming the strongest ninja in the ninja world, like the ninja god back then, is respected by countless people, and it is just around the corner.
"How long will it take?"
"Don't worry, I hate waiting for others, and I hate waiting for others, and it will be over soon."
The scorpion replied.
"I heard that there are hundreds of ninjas in the Star Ninja Village, and their strength is not weak, is it okay for you to be alone?"
Beryuhu asked.
Of course, it is not that I am worried about the safety of the scorpion, but if the scorpion dies like this, it is a waste of time to bury him.
"It's okay, I don't need you to do it, I can solve it alone."
Hundreds of ninjas, in the eyes of scorpions, are nothing more than hundreds of lambs to the slaughter.
With his own strength, it will not be a problem to slaughter them all.
However, his purpose was only the meteorite in the Star Ninja Village, and it would be best if the Star Ninja Village knew a little better.
He doesn't like to spend time on meaningless things.
Although his body has begun to stop growing, and time can be said to be endless, waiting for people and being waited for by others makes him feel irritated.
This is a bad habit that I developed when I was a child in Shayin Village, and it is estimated that it will not be changed in the future.
The scorpion doesn't plan to change either.
At this moment, Orochimaru suddenly stopped, and a snake came out of the grass and crawled around Orochimaru's body to Orochimaru's arm, sticking out his tongue slightly, as if conveying something.
"What's wrong?"
The scorpion turned its head to look at Orochimaru, and also stopped.
"It tells me that there is a sentient barrier around me, and that our tracks have been detected."
Orochimaru replied to the scorpion.
"Really? I didn't expect that the ninja village in such a remote and small country would also have a special enchantment ninja. But that's okay, I didn't plan to sneak in, so I'd attack directly from the main entrance. ”
The scorpion thought about it for a while, and didn't care about the message conveyed by Orochimaru.
"Don't be too careless, I always feel that something is not quite right here, and it is a little different from the Star Ninja Village in my impression."
Orochimaru frowned, the enchantment technique is not common in the ninja world, and it can even be said to be the same as the sealing technique, it is a powerful technique with strong ability, but few people are proficient in it, and it is basically monopolized by the ninja villages of the five major countries.
And an unknown Star Ninja Village has mastered the perceptual type of enchantment technique, and the background displayed by the Star Ninja Village at this time is very different from what they have collected.
The scorpion snorted coldly, but he also knew that what Orochimaru said was true, a ninja village in a remote and small country, with this type of exploration type of perception enchantment, the situation was indeed weird.
Just as he was about to continue walking, he and Orochimaru and Beryuhu suddenly sensed something, it was purely a high-strength ninja, subconsciously intuitively judging the danger, and the body suddenly reacted vigilantly.
A slightly chilly wind blew, and a figure blocked the path of the three of Orochimaru, staring at the three of them with pure white pupils.
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment when he saw the person blocking them, and then he stretched out his tongue and licked it lightly at the edge of his mouth, as if he had seen something interesting to him.
"Oops, this is a familiar face that I haven't seen in a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here."
The person standing in front of the three-person road is naturally Ayane.
Regarding Orochimaru's acquaintance's greeting, she just smiled helplessly.
"yes, but it's not a good encounter for me, Orochimaru-senpai."
"Don't say that, for me, it was a bonus. In the past, it took a long time for the Konoha Dark Department to find no trace of the three of you...... As a result, have you been hiding here in the Land of Bears? ”
Star Ninja Village is an isolated ninja village, and if you use this as a hiding place, it is indeed not easy to find the dark part of Konoha .
Suddenly he met Ayane, and Orochimaru was also surprised.
But if you want to say how familiar you are with Ayane, that's not necessarily true.
What he is familiar with is only Ayane's past leading teacher, Hachiki Shuomao, the Konoha White Fang who committed suicide.
For the three people who always follow behind Shuomao, they thought they were just fledgling ghosts.
Unexpectedly, these three people did a defection incident that made Konoha high-level people angry, which can be described as a blockbuster.
Later, Hinata Ayane cooperated with Iwain's three generations of Tsuchikage, fought against Yunyin, and suppressed Yunyin's four generations of Thunder Shadow head-on with his own strength.
It was at that time that Orochimaru really realized that the three disciples of Shuomao were no longer dangerous and rebellious ninja that Konoha could control.
In terms of strength, I am afraid that it has surpassed their three ninjas.
Ayane didn't answer Orochimaru's question, just showed a trademark smile on her face, and said to Orochimaru: "Let's not mention this matter first, I don't know if Orochimaru's predecessor suddenly came to visit this time, is there something wrong?" I'm not going to be able to entertain guests here. ”
"Is that so? It seems that today is a bit unfortunate, so we will take our leave. ”
Orochimaru pondered there for a moment and responded to Ayane's words.
Then, he fell to the ground on all fours, his body full of murderous energy, and his face became hideous.
Orochimaru's sudden action startled the scorpion and Beryu, I don't know why Orochimaru made a sudden move, and as soon as he came up, he was using some kind of powerful killing move.
I saw that Orochimaru's body was soft and twisted as if it had no bones, and a big mouth was torn to the extreme.
"Ten Thousand Snake Luo Array!"
First one poisonous snake, then two poisonous snakes, then four, and finally evolved into countless poisonous snakes that spread out of Orochimaru's mouth.
These endless poisonous snakes occupied all of Ayane's field of vision in an instant.
The huge high wall formed by the twisting of countless poisonous snakes is like an ocean of poisonous snakes, surging overwhelmingly.
The black pressure is overwhelming, which makes people shudder.
"Disgusting!"
Ayane only has the evaluation of these two words.
With a hard kick of his feet, his body leaped out and rushed to the endless sea of snakes in front of him.
"Divine Air Strike!"
Rumble!
The violent shock wave generated by the explosion cut a huge hole directly through the center of the snake sea.
Countless poisonous snake stumps flew around, blood stained the ground, and the smell of fishy smells filled the air, making people feel extremely uncomfortable physiologically.
Some areas were swept away by the snakes, but soon more poisonous snakes came to fill the dead snakes' positions, converging into a high wall, and the only sound of hissing tongues in the ears was dense.
