Orochimaru's Offer to Join Forces

Orochimaru's alliance

Orochimaru, a figure widely recognized as extremely dangerous in the Shinobi World!

Although nominally one of the Konoha Sannin, he secretly maintains close ties with various shadowy forces in the Shinobi World.

Oyashiro En is an information dealer and also an enthusiast of collecting Kekkei Genkai.

Orochimaru was a member of Konoha's Root Anbu at the time, Danzo under Danzo. Gathering intelligence was his daily task, and he also shared a common interest in researching Kekkei Genkai.

The two share similar interests, so they should get along well.

In reality, this was not the case. While Oyashiro En did have many dealings with Orochimaru, they were merely transactions.

Oyashiro En possesses the special Dōjutsu of the Ketsuryūgan, which allows him to judge an opponent's intentions by observing their blood and qi circulation.

Oyashiro En witnessed firsthand that Orochimaru harbored ambitions to "rob and kill" him, with the so-called "robbery" referring to intelligence resources and precious experimental subjects with Kekkei Genkai.

"Hehe~ Does Lord En need to be so wary of me?" Orochimaru licked his lips and revealed a gentle smile.

However, Oyashiro En rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Nonsense! You ambushed me!"

"Well, it didn't work out, did it?" Orochimaru gazed intently into the latter's eyes, smiling slightly. "With eye power comparable to the Sharingan, why are you so cowardly?"

"I have no choice but to be timid. With these eyes, I can only barely protect myself in front of you." Oyashiro En was not fooled by Orochimaru's hype at all; he knew very well the strength of the venomous man before him.

Previously, when he sensed that the other party was trying to attack him, he also intended to kill him. However, he was hit by the Ketsuryūgan's Dōjutsu, and Orochimaru, whose body had been blown off by the explosion, returned alive and well a few days later, which terrified him. In fact, Orochimaru could attack him at any time, but he had no means to threaten Orochimaru. The only thing he could do was to passively protect himself.

While Oyashiro En was wary of Orochimaru also acknowledged the latter's strength. In terms of Chakra alone, the two were not on the same level. However, the latter was able to rely on those eyes to contend with him. Orochimaru could defeat the latter, but he could not subdue him, which was also a fact.

"Alright, enough nonsense. If it really was a chance encounter as you say, then you're not here to buy information or exchange test subjects, so what are you here for...?" Oyashiro En looked Orochimaru up and down, asking curiously, "And why are you wearing that thing on your body?"

"A new creation to conceal Chakra." Orochimaru was completely wrapped in a gray-black robe, his gaze fixed on a distant direction. "Well, I can't help it, Shunren's senses are very sharp."

"You bastard, could it be..." Oyashiro En's brow twitched, and the quick-witted man immediately understood Orochimaru's meaning, "Aren't you from Konoha? Attacking someone from your own village, especially someone from the Uchiha Clan, the Hokage won't just stand by and do nothing, will he?"

Orochimaru's vertical pupils flashed with a fanatical, cold light as he said in a chilling voice, "Heh~ As long as I can get Shunren, I don't care about Konoha or the Hokage."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ To get this prey, you're actually willing to betray your village. It seems you really like that child." Oyashiro En looked thoughtful, his eyes darting around. "Hey! Are you inviting me to join forces with you?"

"Smart." Orochimaru nodded.

What can I get in return?

"After it's done, the Sharingan is yours; I only want that guy's body."

Upon hearing this, Oyashiro En was greatly surprised. "I don't understand. Haven't you always wanted the Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan?"

"Hehe~ I've discovered something even more interesting."

"Oh." Oyashiro En was unimpressed. Compared to Orochimaru's dedication to researching Kekkei Genkai, his collection was merely a hobby, and he had no interest in the underlying principles or origins.

"Make a deal!"

Orochimaru and Oyashiro En reached an agreement.

"Splash~" Shunren, who was leisurely enjoying himself while lying sprawled on the hot spring water, frowned sternly, then raised his head, turned his gaze to the horizon, and said in a cold voice, "I have already given you a chance to step down."

"Roar!" Suddenly, a blood dragon composed of blood and special Chakra appeared from the distant horizon and soared into the sky!

"Ugh! What's going on? This is never going to end!" Quan was clearly annoyed. She finally managed to get out and have some fun, why was there so much trouble?

"Alright, you've soaked in the hot springs enough. Take your mother back to her room for a nap," Shunren instructed.

"No, it's so early," Quan protested.

"Little Izumi, Mommy's tired. Will you stay with Mommy to sleep?" Hezi hugged Quan at just the right moment.

"Alright then..." As the saying goes, one thing can cure another, and Quan is still a good boy who listens to his mother.

Watching Hezi and Quan enter the room, Shunren waved his hand.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

He took out his Zanpakuto, Senbonzakura, and threw it in front of the house.

The blade and the entire body of the Senbonzakura sword were completely submerged in the ground.

"Bankai Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

"Clang clang clang clang clang~" Suddenly, huge blades emerged from the ground, forming a formation of thousands of blades that completely surrounded the house!

Shunren also infused his own consciousness into the sword formation, setting it to kill any target that tried to approach, regardless of who it was!

After completing all this, Shunren's figure flashed, and he stood on a high rooftop, his black and white swords flashing in his hands. His gaze calmly fixed on the blood-soaked dragon, he said indifferently, "Come on! You unknown extra, I'll see where you get the confidence to provoke me!"

It was as if a murderous aura had materialized, emanating serenely from Shunren's body!

In the distance, Oyashiro En seemed to keenly sense the terrifying killing intent emanating from Shunren, and couldn't help but stammer, "Hey! Just how many people has Orochimaru killed to accumulate this level of killing intent?"

"Don't panic, this is just the Blade of Killing Intent of the White Fang Style." The more terrifying the power emanating from Shunren, the more Orochimaru wanted to obtain it. "You take it easy on him from the front, I'll lie in wait and launch a sneak attack."

"Damn it! Konoha's White Fang's technique, and you still say there's no need to panic?" Oyashiro En wanted to curse, and even wanted to turn around and run away immediately, but at this moment it was too late for him to run!
