Chapter 133: Sasori of the Red Sand
Sasuke got excited.
Kimimaro's strength gave him a pleasant surprise.
In terms of Taijutsu alone, this person was no worse than him.
Previously, Naruto had said that he could get a lot of improvement and training in Otogakure.
Writing up to this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name. Reading Taiwan novels is the first choice, enjoy anytime.
Actually, he didn't believe it.
But seeing Kimimaro now, he felt that "studying abroad" in Otogakure wasn't bad.
Since they were in Otogakure, the two of them couldn't go all out.
Therefore, they didn't use large-scale Ninjutsu.
Sasuke used the Pure Yang Nine Palaces Swordagainst Kimimaro's Bloodline Limit.
The two of them were almost evenly matched.
But Kimimaro knew he was already the loser.
The Uchiha Clan not using the Sharingan was itself the biggest concession.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he pulled back and said, "Let's fight another day; I can't let loose right now."
Because he had a mission.
Kimimaro had requested permission from Yakushi Kabuto to pick someone up.
He wanted to see what the "best vessel" Orochimaru was constantly thinking about was like.
After witnessing Sasuke's one-sided battle against three Jonin of the Fuma Clan, he couldn't help but step in to test him.
If it weren't for the mission, he really would have wanted to fight with all his might.
Unfortunately, his body...
Kimimaro said expressionlessly, "Lord Orochimaruis waiting for you. Follow me, Sasuke."
As for the three from the Dragonfly, he didn't care.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
This person was a bit similar to him.
Both were poker-faced.
Cold as ice.
But he thought it was quite good.
If there were another person with a personality like Naruto or Sakura, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Beyond the dark corridor, Sasuke saw Orochimaru.
His gaze subconsciously flickered toward his lower abdomen.
He couldn't help it.
He really cared about it.
The next generation of the Uchiha Clan.
Although his birth was an accident, in terms of bloodline, he was indeed an Uchiha.
Moreover, he had heard from Naruto what Orochimaru wanted to do.
Cultivating a vessel.
Sasuke wouldn't allow it.
Even Naruto didn't know that he had added a sixth task to his list.
Take this child away.
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke with satisfaction.
He was so greedy that he couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth, saying, "Welcome to Otogakure."
Of course, if he knew what Sasuke was thinking right now, he would probably consider expelling this guy.
Sasuke nodded.
Orochimaru didn't care about his attitude.
Because Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi had very similar personalities.
Instead, he could feel a certain sense of familiarity.
"Since you're studying with me, I naturally won't be stingy. What do you want to learn first?"
Orochimaru's attitude was unusually kind.
This made Kimimaro glance at Sasuke with a hint of envy.
"Summoning Jutsu," Sasuke said.
"That's simple."
Orochimaru didn't think Ryūchi Cave was any kind of secret transmission.
He had long understood that Summoned Beasts were useless in front of top-tier experts.
"Sign your name."
Orochimaru casually tossed him a large scroll.
Sasuke wrote down his name.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to Ryūchi Cave," Orochimaru said.
Orochimaru said.
Ryūchi Cave was different from other holy lands; the Summoned Beasts inside had quite a temper.
For example, Manda required a sacrifice every time he was summoned.
Just in case, Orochimaru planned to take him to meet these snakes.
"Yakushi Kabuto, take him to his room."
"Please follow me, Sasuke."
Yakushi Kabuto led the way with a smile; he and Sasuke had met during the Chunin Exams.
But Sasuke wasn't one for small talk, so he didn't ask why he was here.
Night.
Sasuke watched as Naruto appeared out of thin air.
"How is it?"
"It's okay."
Sasuke spoke up, "I met someone named Kimimarowho has thirty percent of my power."
What a display of Pretend-jutsu!
Naruto couldn't help but complain.
If Kimimaro wasn't sick, he wouldn't necessarily be worse than you.
Of course, that's assuming you don't use the Mangekyo Sharingan.
After all, that's like using a cheat code.
Kimimaro can't beat a cheater.
Naruto left after exchanging Chakra with him.
Back at the shrine.
He frowned; Jiraiya had wandered off somewhere to enjoy himself again.
Aren't you afraid En Yui will be captured while you're gone?
Naruto glanced at the princess in the sleeping bag and crawled into his own.
The next day.
He was woken up by Jiraiya.
"There's a mission."
"A mission?"
Naruto was slightly startled and asked, "We're a hundred thousand miles away from Konoha, how can you still get a mission?"
"Hehe, don't you know what my relationship with Tsunade is?"
"Don't flatter yourself," Naruto exposed him mercilessly. "What mission?"
"An A-rank mission: capture the rogue Ninja, Aoi Rokusho."
Jiraiya explained, "He used to be a Konohainstructor. During a certain Chunin Exam, he instigated a student to steal a secret Konoha scroll and the sword of the thunder god. Now he's a Jonin of the Hidden Rain Village."
Naruto remembered this plotline.
He really wanted to complain; Konoha's defenses were like a sieve, even Genin could steal things whenever they wanted.
First there was the Sealing Technique, now there's the sword of the thunder god.
But this sword is quite suitable for Sasuke.
Mainly the name.
And Naruto remembered this was a laser sword.
Jedi Sasuke online.
Maybe it would even trigger some achievement.
"Aoi Rokusho seems to be here for some mission. The one he's meeting is a Ninja from Amegakure; it might involve news about Hanzou."
Jiraiya added.
That was exactly why he planned to do this mission with Naruto.
Hanzou probably wouldn't show up in person.
The other Ninjas would be good practice for Naruto, while he himself could gather information.
"Demi-god Hanzou, you should have heard of him, right?"
"I have," Naruto nodded. "The title of the Sannin was given by him."
"That's right. Hanzou's strength is world-shaking, but something has happened in recent years. He has been holed up in Amegakure, cutting off contact with the outside world."
Jiraiya's expression was grave.
The legendary Sannin title sounds grand, but it was only bestowed upon them by Hanzou back then because he felt they had great potential.
In other words, the three of them combined couldn't beat him.
In a sense, it was their shame.
"..."
Why even look?
Hanzou has long been playing in the Pure Land.
Unless you have Orochimaru use Edo Tensei, otherwise, you'll only see his coffin.
Oh wait, you probably won't even see a coffin.
Given how Nagato and Konan do things, there's likely nothing left of his remains.
Naruto nodded: "You're right, but I want that sword of the thunder god."
"You don't have the lightning attribute." Jiraiya then realized, "You want to give it to Sasuke?"
"Yeah," Naruto asked, "Is that okay?"
"Sure," Jiraiya replied.
The sword of the thunder god wasn't actually as important as one might imagine; otherwise, Konoha would have found a way to get it back long ago.
After all, he's just a mere Jonin.
The three of them set out.
En Yui changed out of her beggar clothes, and she immediately transformed into a beautiful young girl.
But neither Jiraiya nor Naruto felt much of anything about it.
Jiraiya was well-traveled, and Naruto had a celestial wife at home.
Three hours later, they reached their destination.
A small grove in the wild.
Naruto always felt that small groves were magical places, no less than rooftops.
Many things played out here.
According to the plot, Aoi Rokusho should be lording it over the Land of Tea. Why would he appear here?
Naruto stood on a tree, observing the situation in the distance.
The green-haired Aoi Rokusho was holding an umbrella, waiting for someone.
A moment later, a bloated middle-aged man appeared.
He was wearing the Akatsuki uniform.
A black beard covered half of his face.
It's you!
Sasori of the Red Sand!
Naruto got excited.
Thanks to the big boss "Little Snake-maru" for the reward. PS: Currently 5 chapters in debt, another chapter will be added for every 25 monthly tickets. It's the last day of October, don't let them go to waste.
