He has even practiced his Haki, and you say this is Naruto?

Kimimaro spoke calmly.

His identity is special. Kimimaro was also Orochimaru's most trusted tool. His body is undoubtedly the most suitable for Orochimaru.

And Kimimaro himself thinks so too. The meaning of his existence is for Orochimaru.

But today I discovered that he was wrong. Lord Orochimaru seemed not to care so much about his body, but more about his life.

Kimimaro's mood was a little complicated, or in other words, confused.

"Perhaps, Lord Orochimaru needs companions more than tools."

Kimimaro didn't know why he suddenly said this, and even he didn't know why.

But thinking about Orochimaru's attitude towards the foursome, he also thought that Orochimaru had been looking for traces of Beiruhu recently.

Kimimaro inexplicably thought that Lord Orochimaru didn't seem to need tools, but companions.

But are they really qualified to be Lord Orochimaru's companions? Kimimaro was confused.

Perhaps even Orochimaru was not aware of this.

When facing the torrent of the times, even people like Orochimaru couldn't help but start looking for their companions.

This is Orochimaru's instinct, an instinct formed after experiencing two ninja wars, and the new era Orochimaru saw made him trigger this instinct again.

Under the torrent of the times, even a person like him must find a trustworthy companion.

In this era, there is only one Shanks.

Shanks can carve out a path alone, and once this path is opened, countless people will come.

Under the torrent of the times, there will always be more heroes standing on the waves of the torrent. If they don't want to be washed away, the only way is to cooperate and stand with their companions. The more people there are, the safer they will be.

On the other side, Orochimaru received new news again, this time the news came from Kusakure Village.

It can only be said that Caoyin Village is indeed a ninja village that is proficient in political methods. Any news about the five major ninja villages, Caoyin Village can be obtained as soon as possible.

"The Kirigakure Village coup, the Kirigakure Village ninja Terumi Mei led the Kirigakure Village ninja coup, the fourth generation Mizukage and the three tails died in the coup.

Mei Terumi officially took over the position of Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. The silver offered by the Kingdom of Water to Kirigakure Village was stolen by Zabuza, the rebel ninja of Kirigakure Village. "

"One of the Seven Former Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, Zabuza Momochi established the Bladeless Pirates and changed their name to Zabuza.

The Kirigakure Village has issued a wanted order for the captain of the Bladeless Pirates, with a reward of... 350 million, and a wanted manhunt for the vice-captain, with a reward of... 50 million. "

"The Hidden Kiri Village has launched a wanted search for the Four Emperors, Red-haired Shanks, with a reward of... 500 million."

Seeing this, Orochimaru was stunned.

Damn it, someone sneaked away.

It's all the fault of the old witch. If the old witch had told all the information she knew earlier, she would have created the devil fruit long ago.

And now, if I read it correctly, Shanks has already taken action, and the changes in the ninja world are about to begin.

"Damn it, that old guy from Longdi Cave deserves to be damned."

At this time, Orochimaru could only curse White Snake Sage. If White Snake Sage hadn't had a bad attitude, would they have been so procrastinating?

As a result, looking at it now, someone jumped the gun and ran away.

And judging from the news, Kirigakure Village may have been in contact with the Bladeless Pirates for a long time, and has already known information about Shanks.

However, Orochimaru has not yet read the information sent from Kusakure Village.

There were two pieces of information in total, and Orochimaru opened the second piece.

This is a reward sheet.

"The Yonko of the New World. The Strongest Pirate. Red-Haired Shanks!"

"Reward: 500 million."

"Strength: Unknown, but if it exceeds the elite jounin, it will require at least five elite jounin to deal with it."

"Other information: A member of the Uzumaki clan has a huge amount of chakra, is good at sealing techniques, sensory ninjutsu... and is very likely to have powerful sword skills."

This is what is on the reward list. There is not even a photo or portrait of Shanks on it, and there is very little information.

Orochimaru took one look and knew that all the information was wrong. They were all guessed by the Kirigakure Village based on the existing information.

The real information was what was written in pen on the reward list. Orochimaru was very familiar with this handwriting, Kakuzu's handwriting.

Kakuzu's note is simple.

"Strength: Itachi cannot face this man. His physical skills far exceed Kisame's, and his overall strength is stronger than mine."

Yes, Kakuzu's note is that simple.

After writing this sentence, Kakudu directly put a cross on the reward list. Whoever is willing to take this kind of reward list will take it.

He won't go even if it costs 500 million or 5 billion.

Even if he has five lives, it’s not enough.

And Orochimaru naturally understood it in an instant.

"It seems that the Akatsuki organization has also contacted Shanks..."

Orochimaru suddenly realized that he was no longer too late, but too late.

As for the reward above, Orochimaru only found it funny.

That guy Kakuzu, when he talked about his fight against the First Hokage, he just said one thing - better than me.

Even Orochimaru could tell what was going on. If he got this information from Kakuzu, it must be true.

“We can only start from the historical text.

Konoha's chuunin exams should have started, and the Kirigakure Village now has too much to take care of itself. It just needs to spread the news to contain other ninja villages. "

"It's time to implement the Konoha Collapse Plan."

Orochimaru had no time to wait any longer.

"The Uchiha clan should have hidden historical texts. There is still no news about those two idiots, Sabei and Kotaro. We can only let Kabuto do this when the Konoha collapse plan is implemented."

"The first and second generations are here."

Orochimaru thought for a long time, but after thinking of Kakuzu's words "Better than me", Orochimaru made up his mind.

Completely release the control? Impossible, Kakuzu has five lives, and he only has two lives. Even if he really wants to know part of the truth of history, it is not now.

What if the first and second generations kill him directly after the control is released?

"It's really troublesome. It would be better if those two guys were here."

Orochimaru ignited the information in his hand, and the ashes fell down little by little.

The ashes fell at the feet of Orochimaru, and Orochimaru also walked out of his underground laboratory.

The wind at his feet became stronger and stronger, and the flying ashes slowly changed color, turning into yellow sand all over the sky, leaving a series of footprints on the sand.

Orochimaru stood in front of everyone, looking into the distance, and his sinister eyes looked extremely calm under the cloak.

The strong wind made everyone's cloaks rustle, and sand hit Orochimaru's face.

"What a strong wind."

A ninja behind him said.

"The ships of the Bladeless Pirates and the Akatsuki Organization have already set sail. If we want to catch up with them, we can only ride on the strong wind to break the huge waves of the old times."

At this moment, Orochimaru's eyes were firm. He knew that the plan was risky, but it was worth a try.

"The wind in the Kingdom of Wind is the stronger, the better."

"We should also set sail."

Chapter 51 Red... Red Hair

Konoha.

As the Chunin Exam approached, many ninjas from other ninja villages appeared in Konoha, and the third generation was quite happy about this.

A Chunin Exam can gather so many ninjas, which fully demonstrates Konoha's status in the ninja world.

And this time, even the Kazekage came to the Chunin Exam, so the third generation was naturally very happy. At least under his witness, Konoha was thriving.

But at this time, Danzo walked in with a gloomy face.

"Danzo, what's wrong?"

The third generation was very leisurely. After Danzo came out of the hospital, he was always very cautious in doing things during this period. There were so many ninjas coming to the Chunin Exam, and Danzo was still worried about the barrier problem of Konoha.

"The ninjas from the Hidden Grass Village sent a piece of information. Something big happened."

Danzo had a gloomy face and threw a scroll of information on the third generation's desk.

The expression on the third generation's face also became serious, but he did not open the scroll first, but continued to look at Danzo.

"What is it about?"

"About that Shanks, and the Bladeless Pirates."

Danzo said angrily. He had the opportunity to find out before, but he didn't, because from the information he found, there were too many unreasonable places.

"Shanks, Bladeless Pirates?"

The third generation thought of something.

Danzo had told him the information about Shanks and the Bladeless Pirates a long time ago.

When Kakashi and his friends came back from the Land of Waves, they brought back two ninjas. The two ninjas were weak and did not even have the strength of Genin.

Danzo's interrogation was also very fast. In less than a day, he got all the information from the two Genin.

"Are you talking about Shanks, the youngest Four Emperors in the New World, the most powerful pirate in the legendary sea.

And the Bladeless Pirates who went to rob the silver offering of the Hidden Mist Village?"

All this information came from the mouths of Sabei and Kotaro, and they said it truthfully.

But... normal ninjas would not believe what those two guys said, even though the judgment of the Anbu was that Sabei and Kotaro were telling the truth.

But everyone knows that from the perspective of two ninjas who can't even beat Genin, what they said is indeed the truth.

Because their strength is too low, with Sabei and Kotaro's strength and talent, they can reach the position of Chunin in their lifetime.

And strength often means a person's vision.

So Kotaro and Sabei did not lie, but as weaker than Genin, the world they can see is just that.

Of course, out of caution, the third generation also asked Naruto about what happened in the Land of Waves.

Naruto also told the truth, well... Naruto's words were even more exaggerated, so after asking, the third generation left with a dark face.

But at this time, the third generation's face was even darker.

After opening the information about the Hidden Grass Village, he found that what Naruto and the two guys said at the beginning might not be exaggerated at all.

"The Hidden Mist Village Senior Ninja Terumi Mei launched a coup, the Mizukage died, and Terumi Mei took over as the fifth Mizukage."

"The Bladeless Pirates were established by Zabuza Momochi, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"The captain of the Bladeless Pirates has a bounty of 350 million, and the vice-captain has a bounty of 50 million."

At this time, the authenticity of the information no longer needs to be considered.

The Hidden Grass Village and Konoha have always been on good terms, and they will not use false information to fool people.

This is also the cleverness of the "fence-sitter" of the Hidden Grass Village. Although it is indeed a fence-sitter, it is never vague when doing things for others.

"The most important thing is the bounty on Shanks.

From beginning to end, Shanks never showed up and didn't even do anything, but his bounty is 500 million."

Danzo slammed the table directly, which means that Shanks is likely the mastermind of all this.

And the outrageous information they learned from the interrogation is also true.

Otherwise, who can make the Hidden Mist Village pay so much attention to him? Does it take at least five elite jonin to deal with an ordinary pirate?

That is an elite jonin, an elite jonin with the strength of a shadow that threatens a village.
