Crocodile Is a Sand-Sand Fruit User

Orochimaru: "Interested? Of course I'm interested."

He wanted Sasuke's eyes, and he also wanted the Sharingan that Moke had offered him.

If given the chance, he would also like to have Shisui's eye.

Moke: "After you finish your business, I'll find some time to come to Sound Village to see you."

Orochimaru: "It's a deal!"

Orochimaru then seemed to have thought of something. He took out a scroll from his robes. "I heard you need various ninjutsu? I have some here: six C-rank techniques—one each of Water Release, Fire Release, Lightning Release Earth Release, Earth Release, and Genjutsu; two B-rank techniques— Fire Release and Lightning Release; and one A-rank technique— Water Release."

"Oh?"

Moke's eyes lit up, but he also knew that Orochimaru wouldn't give away so many ninjutsu without any conditions.

So he was very direct. "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Orochimaru: "I hope you won't get involved in what happens next."

Upon hearing this, Moke thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

After considering it for a moment, he shook his head. "Impossible. After all, I plan to settle in Konoha. If I stand idly by this time, not only will Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and the people from the various clans be upset, but even Might Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko, and Anko Mitarashi, whom I've worked so hard to win over, will have a problem with me."

Then, changing the subject, she added, "But this time, don't you also have Sand Ninja in your plan? Tsk tsk..."

"Hehehe..."

Orochimaru immediately understood and let out a laugh that echoed his signature move, "As long as you don't interfere in my battle, you can do whatever you want. Also, I hope we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future."

He then tossed the scroll in his hand to Moke.

They then gave each other a deep look, and then, as if on cue, went their separate ways.

Moke, on the other hand, couldn't wait to open the scroll.

Rank A Water Release: Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique [Uses chakra to manipulate water tens of meters high, rushing towards the enemy like a waterfall; its immense power can wash away the earth.]

Rank B Fire Release: Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet [The flames exhaled by the caster split into three directions—front, left, and right—and attack the opponent simultaneously. The direction of the fire dragon is controlled by chakra, instantly turning the enemy to ashes; it is very difficult to dodge.]

Rank B Lightning Release: Lightning Release: Great Breakout [The user Discharge onto the ground; the attack range extends within 100 meters. The closer the current is to the user, the greater the power.]

C-Rank Water Release: Water Release: Water Colliding Wave [Spits water from the mouth, forming a small pool to impact the opponent.]

C-Rank Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth-Style: Earth Spear [Creates sharp rocks from the ground beneath the enemy to attack them. The attack power is considerable. Kurotsuchi used this technique to break Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in one go.]

C-Rank Wind Release: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough [The caster forms hand seals with one hand and exhales Gale from their mouth to restrain the opponent; the size of the whirlwind varies depending on the caster's ability.]

C-Rank Illusion: Magical Illusion • Here Is Not Here [(C-Rank Long, Mid, and Close Range Support Type) This illusion covers what the eye sees, making the target believe that what they see is actually something else. It can be cast over a large area, causing multiple people to experience the illusion simultaneously, making opponents mistake one place for another. This illusion was used by Kotetsu Hagane. Anyone with knowledge of illusions can usually break it quickly.]

Moke didn't watch the match because there was no need. It was just a bunch of kids fighting... He'd rather spend that time studying ninjutsu.

This is the ninjutsu he currently possesses, which is already quite extensive.

Even a typical Jonin might not possess this many ninjutsu techniques. What he needs to do now is to transform these ninjutsu techniques into his own combat power.

At the same time, they developed their own set of combat methods.

They even developed their own unique ninjutsu.

In his view, a true ninja must be able to combine the ninjutsu they know into one or even several sets of combat techniques.

Only by possessing one's own unique ninjutsu can one truly enter the higher ranks of ninjas.

Otherwise, look at those top-tier powerhouses, which one of them doesn't have their own unique ninjutsu?

"Clone Technique!"

Moke created four clones, sending them towards the four gates of Konoha. He intended to rack up a huge reputation boost in this war.

Only in this way can he settle in Konoha and reap more benefits from Konoha.

Especially the Book of Seals.

It made him extremely envious.

The Chunin Exams are underway, but both inside and outside Konoha are already surging.

Within Konoha, the Sand Ninja have already begun their operations.

Some even hid in the shadows, or scattered in various locations. Their mission was to throw the entire Konoha into chaos.

This caused chaos among the Konoha ninjas.

So that they wouldn't be able to rescue the third generation immediately.

Others, however, were searching for their own opponents, silently watching the Konoha, because their mission was to kill or hinder these Konoha.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, had already made preparations.

His five subordinates—Kimimaro Kaguya Clan, Kimimaro Sakon, Kidomaru, Tayuya, Jirobo —except for the Kaguya Clan, Kimimaro Ukon entered Konoha and were already nearby, waiting for the right opportunity.

They then formed a barrier, separating Orochimaru and the Third Hokage from the others.

Outside Konoha, Orochimaru had already summoned Orochi, which, along with the Sand Ninja, was ready. At the moment of command, it would immediately charge towards Konoha's four gates.

Start the war.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko, Anko Mitarashi, although they have "reconciled,"

However, a rift has already formed between them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane already harbor resentment towards Might Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko, and Anko Mitarashi, but they have no other choice.

Conversely, do Might Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hayate Gekko Anko Mitarashi, and Anko Mitarashi completely trust Koharu Utatane Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane?

Just because they are more willing to believe doesn't mean they have no doubts at all.
