The result of the transaction was naturally a happy one for all parties.
Orochimaru left contentedly with the material for eternal life.
The two living people were provided by Orochimaru, and Uchiha Nagi certainly wouldn't be so naive as to ask Orochimaru to release them, only to then go find two guilty mountain bandits himself—that would be utterly pointless. Orochimaru obtained the longevity material he desired, and Uchiha Nagi also acquired Edo Tensei 2.0. As for the issue of not being able to control overly powerful resurrected individuals, Uchiha Nagi was unconcerned, because the immortal body after resurrection was a powerful bug in itself, which could compensate for this shortcoming.
In other words, if Uchiha Nagi were to resurrect a Kage-level Ninja, he would either use a talisman to erase the opponent's consciousness, like Orochimaru, making them a puppet with only instinctive awareness, or he would release their consciousness, allowing them to fight under his control while fully aware.
However, if the opponent was as powerful as the Third Kazekage in life, their strong resistance would break free from the Edo Tensei Jutsu.
After handing over the experimental material sealed in the scroll to Orochimaru, the two concluded their transaction. Orochimaru also gave Uchiha Nagi an address in the Land of Grass, saying that if he wanted to trade with him again in the future, he could find him there.
"I have a premonition, Nagi-kun, that we will have our second transaction very soon." Orochimaru was very satisfied, and for the first time, an expression of excitement, beyond his usual serpentine gaze, appeared in his eyes.
Before leaving, Orochimaru's hoarse voice still lingered in Uchiha Nagi's mind, and he also cast a lingering glance at Kimimaro.
However, he ultimately didn't set his sights on Kimimaro, because the Kaguya Clan, which had not been annihilated, didn't just have one child. Since he couldn't get the most potential one, wouldn't it be fine to abduct two more? When quality is lacking, quantity makes up for it... Now that the transaction was complete, Uchiha Nagi also planned to leave the Land of Water. This place was still controlled by Obito. What if Obito returned from the Land of Rain and, on a whim, ordered the Fourth Mizukage to unleash a dozen Tailed Beast Balls on him?
Shaking his head, Uchiha Nagi wasn't confident in taking on so many Tailed Beast Balls. Susanoo could barely withstand one small one, but several was unrealistic. Moreover, after transforming into a fully-formed Tailed Beast, the Tailed Beast Balls fired would be even larger. Orochimaru's Triple Rashomon might not even be able to block them; it would probably require a Fourth Rashomon.
As the Ninja World's nuclear weapon, the Tailed Beast Ball was both effective and immensely powerful.
"Kimimaro, pack up, it's time for us to go."
"Oh, alright, Teacher."
Kimimaro quickly packed his belongings and put them into a storage scroll. He had Chakra, so he could use the storage scroll.
Uchiha Nagi, meanwhile, took out a tube of pungent, foul-smelling liquid and sprayed it mixed with water all around them.
The reason for doing this was, of course, to prevent tracking. Besides the Inuzuka Clan, other countries also had their own Ninja dogs. After all, no matter how much a Ninja concealed himself, he was still a living creature, and as long as he was a living creature, he could be tracked by scent.
Uchiha Nagi used this pungent, foul-smelling liquid to eliminate his and Kimimaro's scent. The Hidden Mist Village certainly had methods for tracking enemies by scent, so he couldn't be careless.
Unless they got on a boat, once they were out at sea, scent tracking would naturally be useless. However, sensory Ninja were a problem. Some sensory Ninja in the Ninja World could sense a thousand meters, while stronger ones could sense several thousand meters.
Uchiha Nagi also possessed this ability, using the spatial sensing of Beast Breathing to successfully evade several waves of pursuers. Of course, the main reason the pursuit was not intense was that the Kaguya Clan was planning to raise an army in the next few days, so the Fourth Mizukage had deployed most of the Anbu within the Village, waiting for the Kaguya Clan to fall into their trap...
Within half a day, Uchiha, with Kimimaro, quickly arrived at a dock. As an island nation, the Land of Water was surrounded by islands of all sizes, with docks in every direction.
What might be difficult for ordinary people to build, such as ports, was just a matter of a few Ninjutsu for Ninja. Therefore, the Land of Water had an abundance of ports and ships.
As Uchiha Nagi and Kimimaro walked to the dock, he frowned. Even if there were no people around at this time, there should still be a small squad of Ninja patrolling; being too relaxed was suspicious.
People with strong mental power are more sensitive. Since he found something amiss, he decided to investigate.
"Beast Breathing, Seventh Form, Spatial Sensing--"
Closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, Uchiha Nagi's beastly intuition immediately made him aware of where the danger lay.
"Come out, you hidden beneath the ship." Uchiha Nagi said lightly to a three-masted sailboat.
After a moment of silence, several dark figures suddenly leaped out from under the water.
The surrounding civilians, laborers, and merchants, seeing the Ninja on both sides confronting each other, were immediately scared witless and fled. Some even abandoned their goods.
"It's the Ninja-sama, run!"
"The Ninja-samas are going to fight, everyone run!"
The Ninja of the Hidden Mist Village never considered civilians in battle; those who ran too slowly might even be killed as an appetizer... "Heh heh, didn't expect this, did you? We're waiting for you at the dock. The Land of Water is different from other countries; if you want to leave, you must go through a dock. So we don't need to search for you everywhere; we just need to ambush at nearby docks in advance." A sharp-toothed Ninja laughed.
"Uchiha, if you are willing to surrender and come back with us, you can join our Hidden Mist Village. We welcome the Uchiha Clan to join the Hidden Mist Village..."
The hidden meaning in these words was to make Uchiha Nagi join the Hidden Mist Village and then work tirelessly day and night, creating a clan all by himself...
The leading man was very sturdy, with a large sword on his shoulder. This sword was very conspicuous, with a hole in the middle.
The kubikiribōchō, among the seven ninja swords, was the most useless one...
Uchiha Nagi frowned. Didn't the previous wielder of this sword use it to block a Tailed Beast Ball, then it broke, and the flying fragments killed its owner? It being recovered was normal.
But in Uchiha Nagi's memory, it seemed to have been taken by Zabuza. Why was it still in the Hidden Mist Village here? It should have disappeared with Zabuza after his assassination attempt failed. Had Zabuza died?
Moreover, this sword also seemed to be the only one not included in the Summoning Jutsu. In the final battle, Hohzuki Mangetsu summoned the seven ninja swords, but this particular one remained in Kakashi's hands and was not summoned away. It was probably too useless, so it wasn't signed into the Summoning Jutsu.
Aside from being able to absorb blood and regenerate after breaking, it didn't seem much different from an ordinary sword...
Uchiha Nagi slowly drew his nichirin blade. This blade would drink blood again today.
