16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 259 Moonfall and Ambition

"Master Orochimaru, we have observed some abnormal data. If you have time, can you come over and help analyze it?"

"abnormal data?"

Orochimaru, who was observing the situation in a petri dish with some abnormal data, raised his head, and looked suspiciously at the Kirigakure ninja who was a little nervous and uneasy.

"Interesting, I remember that you seem to be a member of the Hidden Fog Intelligence Observation Force? I hardly have any contact with you on weekdays. Why did you suddenly come to me and ask for help?"

"Because, because..."

Members of the Kirigakure Intelligence Observation Team swallowed nervously, and said unconfidently: "We think you are a researcher that Mizukage-sama relies on, and your own knowledge and research are extensive enough. Maybe, maybe you can learn from From the data that we cannot understand, we can see the hidden information behind them."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, and took the other party's unskilled compliments as a matter of course, while licking his own cheek with his amazingly long tongue, and said in a low mood:
"Then let me talk about the abnormal data you observed first, and then I will decide whether to temporarily put aside the experiments that the fourth generation of Mizukage has specially taken care of, and help you analyze the causes behind the data..."

"Yes, it is a piece of data about the orbit of the moon, which suddenly approached the earth for a certain distance abnormally..."

The Jonin of the Kirigakure Observation Force handed a copy of the data that had been compared to Orochimaru, and at the same time whispered a news that made him startled.

"You mean... the moon?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Seeing that Orochimaru's performance seemed to be interesting, the member of the Kirigakure Observation Force who came to ask for help was immediately inspired, and immediately introduced to Orochimaru the reason why they came to ask for help in concise and capable words:
"You should know that due to the need to formulate calendars and observe the weather, the major ninja villages and even families have actually maintained the tradition of observing the movement of the moon and changes in astrology. Changes have always been relatively stable and regular.”

"But just last night, the ninjas on duty of our observation force discovered that the moon's orbit has an unprecedented abnormality, and it is very obvious that it is approaching the earth."

While listening to the description of the members of the observation force, Orochimaru also quickly browsed all the data provided to him by the other party. After confirming that what the other party said was true, he raised his head and asked blankly:

"For this kind of thing, why did you come to me for help in the first place, instead of reporting it to the Fourth Mizukage?"

"Because we only observed the anomalous data last night, it is not yet possible to determine whether this is an observation error by the ninja on duty, or whether there is really something abnormal in the moon's orbit..."

The members of the observation force took a step back in embarrassment and helplessness, and argued in a low voice:

"If we want to report this matter to the fourth generation, then we must collect more abnormal data to support our point of view, but Mr. Oshemaru, you are the Minister of Scientific Research appointed by the fourth generation. If you also agree with our point of view, then the amount of abnormal data we need to collect should be able to reduce a lot..."

"So that's how it is... Then, I will definitely accept this request for help. If it is finally confirmed that this abnormal data is not false, I will let the Fourth Mizukage know your achievements."

Orochimaru nodded, and received the data provided by the observation team in his arms without any fluctuations in expression, and the Kirigakure jomin who came to ask for help with the mentality of trying it out also heaved a sigh of relief, and asked Orochi After Maru bowed his thanks, he disappeared into his laboratory in an instant, preparing to go back to work with his colleagues to collect more abnormal data that could be used as evidence.

Seeing that the other party's figure disappeared, the expression on Dashewan's face also became more dignified. He simply called the pharmacist who was in charge of other petri dishes to explain the task, and then left in a hurry His own laboratory, headed for Shuiying's office in an instant.

a while.

Kaguya Rei, who was originally displeased because someone interrupted her nap, could not help frowning in front of this data recording the abnormal trajectory of the moon, just like Orochimaru before.

"It seems that you, Lianjun, also think that this is not an observation error."

"The ones who can be selected into the intelligence observation team are basically the best perception ninjas in the major ninja villages. With their standards, even if there is an error in perception, there shouldn't be such an exaggerated deviation."

Seeing Kaguya Rei's serious expression while shaking his head, Orochimaru let out a breath, then leaned against the bookshelf in Mizukage's office, and asked in a deep voice:

"If this is not a natural phenomenon that exists within the allowable range of observational errors, does it mean that... this is the movement made by the Otsutsugi on the moon?"

"It's almost inseparable, but what exactly are they trying to do... I don't understand it."

Hui Yelian put down the data in her hand, lightly tapped the table with her hand, and said to herself in confusion:
"It's fine to grab Hinata Hyuzu's supercilious eyes, as long as you don't do extraneous things, no one else will notice their existence except for insiders like me, but moving the moon... this movement is really real. It is too big, so big that even if they move the moon back to its original orbit now, it is impossible not to make people suspicious."

"For a hidden force like them, which has been sitting high above the moon for thousands of years, watching the historical changes of the ninja world with cold eyes, suddenly taking such a big action for no reason is really too abnormal..."

"Abnormal usually means that there has been a change. Whether it is internal or external, there must be one or more changes that are sufficient to cause them to take abnormal actions."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, looked at Kaguya Rei thoughtfully and said:
"Aside from the internal changes, the external changes must have something to do with you, Mr. Lian...or to put it another way, it has something to do with you who have obtained flawless white eyes and displayed almost mythical power."

"You mean, they thought that after I got the white eyes, I might learn about their existence from the Hyuga clan and become their enemy in order to obtain the complete power of Otsutsuki Yumura, so they were forced to take this A series of actions?"

Hui Yelian raised her eyebrows, shook her head a little speechlessly and said, "Then they seem to know me quite well?"

"It doesn't have to be because I know you well, or maybe it's because I'm very conscious of what I would do if my positions were switched?"

Orochimaru laughed speculatively, "After all, people can't speculate on things beyond their own cognitive range. Even when speculating on the enemy with the worst malice, human beings usually regard the things they have done as their bases." For reference, exaggerate and uglify..."

"Ha, if it's what you said, Orochimaru, this distant relative of mine doesn't look like a good person." Kaguya put her fingers together, closed her eyes and smiled lightly: "However, if they really plan to move The way of the moon, if you come to demonstrate to me, it will be a bit... a bit of a sternness in it."

"Well, does Mr. Lian think so too?"

The smile on Orochimaru's face became deeper and colder because of Kaguya Rei's answer.

"If my distant relative is in the prime of his life and confident enough in his own strength, then he just needs to wait for me, who knows nothing about the environment on the moon, to land on the moon, and then use them The mighty force that moves the moon will block my back path, and finally, I will be bombarded and killed to the ground when I have nowhere to retreat..."

Hui Ye Lian opened his eyes and said with a playful smile:
"But he didn't do this. As the orthodox heir of Otsutsuki Yucun, he realized that I, a descendant of a declining family, might threaten them. My posture of retreating despite the difficulties... the smell of bluff is so strong that I can't hide it no matter what."

"That is to say, this will be a good opportunity to sneak in, right?" Orochimaru took a deep breath, like a big snake standing up after seeing a good prey, bursting out from his eyes There was a chilling greed and appetite.

"The necessary preparations must be made in advance."

Kaguya Rei leaned back casually, folded her hands on her chest, and said unhurriedly to Orochimaru who wished to fly to the moon immediately:

"Even if I play all my cards now, there is a high probability that I will not be able to do such an exaggerated thing as moving the moon... No matter how big the problem is within the Otsutsuki clan, as long as they can still use the power of moving the moon, they will be able to move the moon." It is still an opponent that we must do our best to have a chance to win, so don't take it lightly, Orochimaru."

　It's bad, why did my work and rest become more hellish after returning home...
