Chapter 433

Realizing she was losing control of her emotions, Kurenai Yuhi immediately fell silent. "I-I'm sorry..."

A moment later.

Kurenai Yuhi spoke again, "Kakashi, I hope... you can come with us..."

If Kakashi were there.

He and Asuma working together will definitely be able to...

"I'm sorry, Kurenai, the Hokage- sama assigned me the order to supervise Naruto's training."

Kakashi said.

"So..."

I can't help you.

"But you can give Asuma a little more trust..."

"Is this a matter of trust?!"

Kurenai Yuhi suddenly raised her voice, her emotions spiraling out of control.

"?"

Yamato looked over upon hearing the sound.

Even Naruto was in the distance, paused his training and looked over curiously.

"What's wrong with the higher-ups?! Wasn't killing my father enough? Now they're doing it again..."

Hong stopped abruptly at this point.

Because she understood instantly.

Kakashi Hatake's father, the White Fang of the Leaf, also died from slander.

But ultimately...

No one reflected on the correctness of Konoha's system or the Will of Fire.

Everyone has been deeply brainwashed by this will.

Or perhaps... they maintain this faction spontaneously because of various interests.

Regardless.

Asuma will die soon.

Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly turned around and quickly left.

She knew she could no longer get help from her former companions.

Of course... if Asuma dies, Kakashi will definitely avenge him.

But what's the point?

Just like the death of one's own father, the root cause was wrong.

If you start wrong, everything will be wrong.

Anger, sadness... all sorts of emotions filled Kurenai Yuhi's heart.

"What should I do...?"

Kurenai Yuhi ran wildly down the road.

I didn't feel tired for quite a while.

She knew that it was the spell that man had left on her that was working.

This also ensured that her appearance remained unchanged.

There hasn't been a single change since three years ago.

It was as if she was constantly reminding herself that she... was already his property.

His?

Kurenai Yuhi was slightly taken aback.

Then, I made a decision in my heart.

Since the Konoha High Command has been completely corrupt, or rather, has never been innocent.

So, I'll go and ask that man for help...!

With his help, Asuma... might not have died!

At the same time.

A distant Land of Water.

Orochihime, Sasuke, Kabuto Yakushi, Karin arrived here.

As for Sai...

After exchanging information, he returned to Konoha to report to Danzo.

Around this lake.

Several corpses of Kirigakure Ninja were scattered about.

A boy who looked like a child, his body wrapped in bandages, with flowing white hair, moved without any hindrance.

When Orochihime arrived here.

What I saw was him choking the last person.

"Um?"

Orochihime carefully examined the young man.

A fanatical light gleamed in the other's eyes as he carefully examined the Kirigakure Ninja in his hand.

He said, "Thus... the ability of 'Dark Release' is now in my hands..."

"Hiruko?"

Orochihime tried to say that name.

"Um?"

Sensing the visitor's Hiruko, he turned around.

From the shadows, three of his subordinates, two men and one woman, arrived and stood Hiruko.

"Who are you..."

Hiruko carefully examined Orochihime.

It took a while to recognize it.

Orochimaru?

As a classmate and childhood Tsunade of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

He is also the villainous boss in Naruto Shippuden: The Will of Fire.

Hiruko was naturally very familiar with Orochihime.

Even after many years apart, the past will not be erased.

"Heh heh, it seems we've all made changes..." Orochihime meaningfully.

"Long time no see... I heard you were also expelled from Konoha for human experimentation."

Hiruko the captives with the Dark Release Kekkei Genkai to his subordinates for safekeeping and then walked over.

Sasuke, Kabuto Yakushi, Karin sized up Hiruko, speculating about his relationship with Orochihime.

Hiruko conducting human experimentation back then.

He left Konoha much earlier than Orochihime.

"What are you doing here?" Orochihime asked.

"Of course... I'll collect Kekkei Genkai, fuse them using the 'Chimera Technique' I've researched, and transform myself into a perfect immortal being!"

Hiruko stretched out his hand and said fervently.

Compared to Orochihime.

His thoughts and ideas were simpler.

Just like his appearance, he's a child who never grows up.

353. Nagato: My invincible teeth!!

"So, the recent disappearances of ninjas from the Five Great Nations... were your doing..."

Orochihime- hime chuckled.

I thought those guys were all killed by Kakuzu.

It now appears that Hiruko also got involved.

"I've captured four ninjas, each possessing a different Kekkei Genkai. I'm still missing one last one..."

"Hiruko said."

Then, his gaze fell on Sasuke behind Orochihime.

Orochihime understood in an instant.

It's the Sharingan.

"You also want the power of the Sharingan?"

"Aren't you the same?" Hiruko retorted. "But unfortunately... as everyone knows, the only people in this world who possess the Sharingan are Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha."

The name Itachi was mentioned.

Sasuke frowned slightly, his expression turning stern.

"It seems you won't hand over Sasuke Uchiha to me, so... I'll have to get the Sharingan's power from Kakashi Hatake..."

Hiruko was very self-aware.

He knew.

Orochihime is a genius and extremely difficult to deal with.

They're not in the same league as someone like me who's at the bottom of the class.

And Orochihime, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and so on.

The talent they displayed from a young age was enough to inspire despair.

Having always been chasing after them but never being able to catch up, he invented the Chimera Technique.

By merging the bloodlines of others, one can enhance their own talents and potential.

That's not necessarily true...

Orochihime thought to herself as she listened to Hiruko's words.

Sharingan.

It's not just Kakashi, Sasuke, and Itachi who have it.

Danzo also possessed them, and quite a few at that.

Tobi... that is, "Ban" (斑) also exists.

And I have it too.

Making a deal with Hiruko seems like a good idea.

Hiruko has obtained the Dark Release Kekkei Genkai ninja; if he can also help Hiruzen achieve that immortal life...

Perhaps, through a transaction, we can help him break the Eight Trigrams Seal on himself.

Having thought this through, Orochihime had already secretly made up her mind.
