They arrived at the deepest part of the Uchiha, the place where the scrolls and documents were stored.
Konoha has a forbidden area for Ninjutsu, and each major clan also has its own library.
"Who? Ah...!"
With two screams, the necks of the two ninjas guarding the forbidden area were snapped unexpectedly.
Gate of Opening, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile when he saw the bookshelves filled with a dazzling array of books.
"As expected of a great clan, their heritage is truly profound!"
Orochimaru began searching, a task he was already quite adept at. Before long, he had collected all the scrolls he liked into his Mask Space.
While he was busy with other things, Kakuzu also visiting households one by one, providing targeted poverty alleviation and warmth.
Because Orochimaru had instructed him not to cause too much of a commotion, Kakuzu's actions were always unusually discreet.
While gouging out his eyeballs and collecting his heart, Earth Grudge Fear was incredibly helpful to him.
"Damn... how come his heart was stabbed again?"
Looking at the Uchiha clansman lying in a pool of blood, Kakuzu disgustedly turned him over, and when he discovered that the fatal wound was to his heart, he couldn't help but curse.
Then, it manipulated the Earth Grudge Fear to remove the corpse's eyes, and the other tentacles took out a small petri dish and put it in.
I brought several hundred nutrient dishes with me this time. After putting the Sharingan and the heart into the nutrient dishes, I stored them in the Kazekage's scroll.
Therefore, all he needs to carry are various sizes of spatial scrolls.
"What a bastard! He doesn't even spare women and children. He's truly depraved!"
The Kakuzu of the past would never have said such a thing. Having experienced several ninja wars, Kakuzu was already numb and didn't care whether you were a commoner or a ninja.
However, after integrating into life in the Northern Lands, his values were gradually brought back by Orochimaru.
Orochimaru can't and won't interfere on the battlefield, but the only ironclad rule in the Northern Lands is that civilians cannot be harmed.
They are currently facing a population shortage, and we are too busy treating them well. If we really target ordinary people, how will they attract more people from outside the area?
In addition, Orochimaru appointed him as a consultant for heart transplant surgery at the Northern Land Hospital, and he has indeed saved quite a few lives over the years.
"On the other hand, what business is it of mine if others kill his people?"
Kakuzu stepped past the corpse, Earth Grudge Fear behind him rummaged around, soon discovering some cash and jewelry in the cabinet.
As the chief financial officer, how could he possibly have time? Orochimaru brought him along precisely because of that.
The Northern Lands is developing rapidly right now, and they're just wondering where to make money. Why not take advantage of the Uchiha's decades of accumulated wealth? Even a small amount is still money, so they'll use it to supplement their household income.
"What a poor wretch...!"
Kakuzu kicked open the door and walked out of the room cursing. Behind him was a masked monster carrying a heavy package.
He never imagined that one day his masked monster would be used not only for fighting but also for looting.
He can do the work of five people by himself, so it's more cost-effective to bring anyone else than to bring Kakuzu.
He is meticulous in everything he does, leaving no stone unturned, and he can handle any dirty or strenuous work. He is truly a diligent and thrifty good man.
After a quick scan, the cornered creature, its eyes Kakuzu a green light, sensed a faint smell of blood in the air.
Although it was raining heavily at the time, which diluted the smell of blood, as a highly capable salesperson, I still had that much sensitivity.
Stepping into the rainy night, the masked monster huffed and puffed as it followed behind.
Orochimaru had just finished collecting the scrolls and was about to leave when a group of figures appeared in his field of vision.
The newcomers all wore white faceless masks, and the gleaming long swords in their hands looked particularly sinister in the rainy night.
The next moment, several masked men parted to make way for a one-eyed old man leaning on a cane and slowly stepped forward.
He stared at the thief who had gotten there first with a gloomy look.
"How dare someone lay a hand on me right under my nose! Whoever you are, you're dead tonight!"
Orochimaru also looked at the old man with amusement.
It seems that Danzo took those Uchiha Ninjutsu from the original timeline, otherwise, not many Uchiha clan members would know about such a heaven-defying Ninjutsu as Izanagi.
Let alone Danzo, an outsider, even the Scroll of Seals wouldn't record such Ninjutsu.
As Danzo his cane, the Root ninjas around him sprang into action.
The sound of footsteps pattering in the rain, the dripping of raindrops on the eaves, and the rustling of leaves in the distance, all enveloped the night, filled with boundless murderous intent.
"I hope you can still talk to me with this arrogance later!"
The Root ninja, who had already closed in, had his long sword right in front of Orochimaru.
It felt as if a fine head would be tossed into the air at any moment.
Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, the ninja who had rushed in front of him suddenly stopped and then crashed to the ground uncontrollably.
Before they could figure out what was happening, everything went dark.
One by one, the Root ninjas were struck as if by a thousand pounds of force, their bodies turning into pools of blood and mud as they hit the ground!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ninjas who were further away quickly Hand Seals and used various Ninjutsu.
However, whether it was Water Release, Fire Style, or Earth Release, these Ninjutsu were suppressed by an inexplicable force before they even got close to Orochimaru's body.
Orochimaru's Gravity Field also approached them in a short time.
Everything covered by the Gravity Field instantly turned to dust. Even rainwater in the air was like bullets when it entered the Gravity Field, creating countless deep holes in the ground.
Danzo, who had been looking gloomy, looked incredulous upon seeing this bizarre scene.
Watching more than a dozen Root ninjas die instantly was a chilling experience for even a seasoned veteran like him!
Seeing that the rain, which was like bullets, was about to cover him, Danzo threw away his cane and turned to run away.
The two remaining Root ninjas were taken aback by their superior's decisive action.
Weren't you so tough just a moment ago? What happened to your promise not to let the person in front of you get away with it? Why did you chicken out at the first sight?
By the time the two realized what was happening and tried to catch up with their leader, it was too late.
Unsurprisingly, the two were crushed into a bloody pulp, a truly gruesome scene.
However, the bodies of these people gradually flowed into the sewers under the wash of rainwater, just like their lives, which were only fit to be rats in the sewers.
"Tch... What a piece of trash! Protecting Konoha's roots, is that all?"
Orochimaru scoffed at Danzo's behavior; he ran away after just one encounter. What happened to the promise to teach him a lesson?
It's no wonder Danzo; he hadn't yet acquired Izanagi, and he only had one Ninjutsu —once he died, he was truly dead.
Besides, his strength was only at the ordinary Kage Level, and he dared not confront the enemy head-on before he could figure out the enemy's specific abilities.
Didn't you see that more than a dozen Root ninjas were wiped out in a single encounter? Let's go back and call for reinforcements!
Orochimaru did not pursue Danzo, who was fleeing in disarray; he had more important matters to attend to.
With that thought in mind, he didn't linger any longer, and his figure disappeared from the spot as well.
