Orochimaru remembered that Hidan seemed to be from the Land of Hot Water, but he wondered where he was right now.
"Kakuzu, while you're in the Land of Hot Water, find out about a church called the Jashin Religion!"
The Net has just been established, and the net spread throughout the Land of Hot Water is not very large yet.
Moreover, after today, the Land of Hot Water will become the Capital City of the Land of Gold, so there will be no need to develop so many intelligence personnel.
They'd be better off spending that energy visiting the Five Great Nations; the list of candidates recently submitted by the Net is already quite long.
I need to find some time to give them a proper "imprint".
"Jashin Religion? That doesn't sound like a legitimate church."
This time, it was Guren who spoke. The Land of Rice Fields borders the Land of Hot Water. She had lived in the Land of Rice Fields since she was a child and didn't know much about the situation in the neighboring village.
However, having suffered from war since childhood, he naturally wouldn't have a good impression of these messy organizations.
"The Jashin Religion will be dealt with by someone, and there's one person among them I'd like to recruit!"
Before the others could discuss it, Orochimaru continued.
The others also became interested when they heard that someone Orochimaru had taken a liking to. To be noticed by Orochimaru, one must have extraordinary abilities.
"Oh? That guy's heart seems pretty good too!"
Kakuzu is starting to look forward to it, though the image of Orochimaru recruiting him isn't exactly appealing.
If he really does encounter the person he wants to recruit, Kakuzu would like to play the role of slapping the villain in the face.
Although he is also a villain, he is now a law-abiding citizen of the Northern Lands. What's wrong with him going to teach some punks from the next village a lesson?
But before his fantasy could come true, Orochimaru's next words poured cold water on his hopes.
"That guy's name is Hidan, he should be around thirteen or fourteen years old, and most importantly, he's immortal!"
Hidan was already 22 years old when he appeared, and according to the timeline, he should be around the same age as Anko now.
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, everyone at the table paused slightly with their chopsticks.
Even the aloof Kimimaro raised his head to look at Orochimaru.
Anko stopped chewing with an exaggerated expression, her cheeks puffed out like an inflated Toad.
"Immortality? You'll die even if your heart is taken!"
Kakuzu scoffed. How dare someone speak so arrogantly in front of him and not die? Did they really think his five hearts were just for show?
Orochimaru stopped keeping everyone in suspense and revealed what he knew.
As he spoke, the expressions of the crowd gradually became serious.
They didn't know where Orochimaru got the information, but it certainly couldn't have come from the Net organization.
It's important to know that all the information gathered by the Net now goes through Pakura's hands, so it's fair to say that she knows more about intelligence than Orochimaru.
The importance of intelligence to ninjas goes without saying; knowing information in advance is like having an extra life.
"If he takes even a single drop of your blood, you won't have enough hearts to take care of it!"
Orochimaru's words dealt another blow to Kakuzu. Did he really think he had five lives?
Kakuzu guessed that even Madara or Hashirama would be defeated by this move Orochimaru, let alone Kakuzu.
Unless you reach the level of Six Paths Madara, and unlike the Armor Emperor, you have to hit him squarely on the head to have any chance of success.
Otherwise, even if Itachi were healthy and Jiraiya information were here, they would still be defeated, let alone Kakuzu.
It's not like Hidan has an unlimited number of hearts. If he keeps doing this, Hidan will be breeding mosquitoes in the women's restroom!
After instructing everyone not to attack him if they accidentally encountered him in the future, Orochimaru planned to personally go and recruit him.
With his abilities, Hidan would have a hard time getting close, let alone taking his blood.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Orochimaru told them to make some preparations, as they would be doing something the next day.
After they all left, Pakura took the initiative to clean up Orochimaru's dishes.
Orochimaru is now the ruler of the Northern Lands, and she does look somewhat like a mistress of the land.
After tidying up the table, Pakura went to take a shower. He was covered in cooking fumes from helping out in the kitchen.
This made her, a ninja with a slight obsession with cleanliness, quite uncomfortable.
Normally, I might have to go out on missions if I had no other choice, but now that I have the opportunity, I certainly won't make myself suffer.
When they brought her out of the bathroom, they saw Orochimaru sitting at the coffee table, sipping his drink absentmindedly.
He had removed the dark red mask, and his serious expression clearly showed that he was thinking about something.
Upon seeing Pakura emerge wrapped in a bath towel, Orochimaru's slightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and as she approached, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
"Oops!"
Pakura gasped softly as he was suddenly pulled into a large arm.
Two blushes immediately rose on her upturned face, and she playfully slapped Orochimaru's arm.
"This is so tempting, are you trying to seduce me?"
Feeling her hot, delicate body, Orochimaru's body temperature began to rise.
This isn't Konoha anymore; he can do whatever he wants on his own turf, truly unleashing the demons within him.
In the past, when we lacked strength, we were hesitant and cautious in our actions, always afraid of causing trouble.
But things are different now. We have real strength, and we have the manpower and money to support us.
"Who knew that the high and Lord Gold Kage would be trampled under my feet?"
Pakura's pair of icy jade feet pressed against Orochimaru's chest, and a fragrance lingered around Orochimaru's nose.
Orochimaru grabbed her bound feet, each toe as delicate and translucent as a grape.
"I still have many questions I need to ask the teacher. I wonder if the teacher could give me some guidance?"
He gently pecked her instep, and his gaze toward Pakura became intense.
The ambiguous relationship between the two has been going on for a long time, but Pakura didn't know anything about Orochimaru before.
But as they spent more time together, their relationship gradually warmed up, and their interactions proved that there was a spark between them.
Previously, she was always keeping Orochimaru on the hook. Orochimaru was so busy all day long that he didn't have much time for romance.
Normally, we just tease each other, maybe patting each other's heads or pinching each other's cheeks. I never expected Pakura to be so proactive today. Is he playing hard to get?
"How do you want to guide me? Like this!"
As she spoke, Pakura placed her smooth, jade-like foot in front of Orochimaru's mouth, looking at him with a playful expression.
Orochimaru was also slightly taken aback. So this was the kind of guy Pakura liked beneath his aloof exterior!
Moreover, with this lift of his leg, an endless panorama unfolded before his eyes, Orochimaru suddenly realized that good eyesight was truly a blessing.
"Teacher, you're so good at this!"
Orochimaru bent her long legs into a split; her incredibly flexible body made her look like a dance teacher.
Feeling Orochimaru closing in on him, and hearing his hot breath swirling around his ear, Pakura instinctively grabbed Orochimaru's neck.
Her little face flushed, she whispered in his ear:
"I've heard that you have a long tongue, is it true?"
