The person who walked through the door was a handsome young man in white. When they saw his appearance clearly, Kimimaro and Jūgo were shocked at the same time!
"Sir, Orochimaru...!? Is that you?"
The young man Orochimaru smiled and said nothing and sat next to Nagato.
Jūgo said, "Are you going to use Transformation Technique to transform into the person you were when you were a child and participate in Chunin Ninja Exams?"
Nagato said, "I thought too much. Nowadays, the Chunin Ninja Exams held by Konoha is very strict about the contestants. Ten days before the exam, each village must submit the list of Genin who will participate in the exam, as well as relevant resume information. Once submitted, it cannot be changed."
"Before entering the examination venue, there is a step to verify your identity. You are not allowed to use a mask to cover your true face, and you are not allowed to use Transformation Technique to disguise yourself. Once discovered, you will be disqualified on the spot and your teammates will be eliminated together."
Orochimaru smiled hoarsely and intellectually, "For this reason, I specially cloned my childhood self, and then used forbidden techniques to transfer my entire soul into this new body. The price is that I will not be able to return to my original body within three years~"
Kimimaro asked, "You are from Konoha. I think there are many Konoha who have seen you as a young man. Appearing like this is the same as asking for trouble, right?"
"Humph~." Orochimaru smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The player resume that Mr. Nagato submitted to Konoha packaged me like this. My name is 'Z Snake Eater', is the son of Legendary Sannin Orochimaru, born and raised in Amegakure, an ordinary Genin."
"Orochimaru is a very sinful person to Konoha, but Will of Fire, which Konoha believes in, will not vent his anger on the son of a sinner."
"This, if everyone follows suit..." Jūgo swallowed his words as soon as they reached his lips, because he could not imagine Shinobi World who besides Orochimaru could perform such outrageous and coquettish actions.
Jūgo asked curiously, "How will your strength be after changing into this body?"
Orochimaru slowly raised his eyes, "Do you want to try it? Jūgo-kun."
"Hiss!!!" The terrifying murderous intention that rushed towards his face almost penetrated Jūgo, making him tremble.
It's so terrifying... My murderous intention is not worth mentioning in front of this man!
Orochimaru, no, Snake Eater restrained his murderous intent and said softly, "Kimimaro-kun, Jūgo-kun, if it weren't for Nagato-kun, As for you, I think you, together with the children of the Guardian Pavilion, will become my precious experimental subjects. Well, the way of getting along with each other like this is actually not bad at all. Please give me your advice during the trip to Konoha."
Nagato thought: Before leaving for Konoha, there is one more thing to arrange...
Takitsubo Falls under the moonlight.
The white-haired old man is holding a scepter and kneeling in front of the masked girl!
The white-haired old man's name was Shibuki Xiong, and he was the high-spirited lord Takigakure back then, but in front of that masked girl who looked harmless like a human or an animal, he didn't even dare to breathe!
"Master Lily Bell, I brought Feng to see you!"
This masked girl is none other than Pain Rin. Six years ago, Takigakure, who was guarded by Seven-Tails, was one of the six terrifying strong men who were mercilessly defeated. Lily Bell is the name she declared to the outside world!
Behind the frightened Shibuki Xiong, stood a girl with dark skin, short blue-green hair, and an elf-like temperament!
Her name is also Feng.
I remember that when she conquered Takigakure, she was only a six-year-old child, but she was already Jinchuriki of Seven-Tails Chōmei.
In the original work, Maple was Genin until he was captured by Hidan and Kakuzu.
Even though she was extremely powerful, she was still hidden by Takigakure and had never seen the outside world, let alone participated in the Chunin Exam.
This is determined by the particularity of Takigakure. With waterfalls surrounding it as a natural moat, and its unique geographical location, it has never been invaded by other ninja villages since the Warring States Period era. Furthermore, Takigakure, as a small country ninja village, has the huge combat power of Tailed Beasts to deter it.
Takigakure's senior executives would naturally not expose Jinchuriki to dangerous environments easily.
Since Feng can remember, he has almost never left Takigakure.
"Sister Lily Bell, can you let Grandpa Shibuki get up first? He is old and has cold legs, please..." Feng clasped his hands together and said to Pain Rin in a playful tone.
Pain Rin glanced at Shibuki Xiong: "Then get up!"
"Thank you, Master Lily..." Shibuki Xiong stood up tremblingly, holding on to the crutches.
Pain Rin was one of the invaders back then, but she did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Amegakure behind her has not only never interfered in the internal affairs of Takigakure in these years, but has even allocated a large amount of funds to assist the construction of Takigakure.
Both Takigakure ninjas and ordinary people seem to have become beneficiaries.
The 'Divine Right of the Gods' trend of thought that Amegakure believes in has also been introduced to various countries and villages represented by Takigakure through cultural exchanges in recent years.
Lord Amegakure, Lord Pain, and His Excellency the Daimyo of Rain, were sent by God to save the people of this small country from fire and water, and people gradually became convinced of this.
The village's experience of being a blessing in disguise, coupled with the fact that Maple was a cheerful and generous girl, gradually became friends with Pain Rin, who often came to inspect Takigakure's work, and they started to enjoy hot springs together.
A year ago, Feng wanted to go out for her birthday, so Pain Rin took her to Amegakure as a guest. By some chance, she got into a fight with Suigetsu.
"Feng, have you signed up to participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams!"
"Chunin Ninja Exams? Are we going to start again?" Feng said with confusion on his face.
It seems that Shibuki Xiong didn't tell Feng about this at all, and because Feng is Jinchuriki, she is kept at a distance by her peers, and no one is willing to make friends with her!
Pain Rin said with his little hands behind his back, "Yes, it's about to start. It will be held at Konoha in ten days. Do you want to participate?"
"Think, think, think!" Feng suddenly became very happy, but then her eyes fell silent. "But my participation in Chunin Ninja Exams... will trouble the big guys in the village."
Pain Rin asked, "What's bothering you?"
"Because, because, I, I am..." Feng held his little hand. "The village's weapons cannot be left easily."
Pain Rin interrupted her with a smile, "There's no need to worry about this. You can go if you want. I have the final say."
Shibuki Xiong suddenly felt ashamed. "Sweat, I'm afraid this is really not possible, Master Lily Bell! Takigakure's list of candidates to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams is about to be delivered to Konoha..."
Pain Rin wrote lightly, "It doesn't matter, I have a few internal quotas in my hand, but I have to go through our Amegakure channel. In this way, while participating in Chunin Ninja Exams, let Feng temporarily join our Amegakure! That's it, bye~"
Having said that, before Shibuki Xiong could express his stance, Yata Crow had already ascended into the sky carrying Pain Rin and Feng.
"I, I join Amegakure... will this be too much trouble?"
"No trouble, just change it to Forehead Protector~
"Sister Lily Bell, I actually don't care that much about whether I become Chunin. But I really want to see outside and make one or two friends if possible."
"Your wish will come true."
"I'm so nervous! I'm so excited! Sister Lily Bell, Konoha is a great ninja village, right? Do you think that people like us from small villages are country bumpkins..."
"Chunin Ninja Exams Let your strength speak, and you will teach them a lesson when the time comes!"
"It can still be like this!! That's easy to handle! That's right! Chunin Ninja Exams is a group of three, what should I do if I don't have any teammates!"
"It doesn't matter, there will be a solution if you go there!"
It is very simple to gather two teammates for Feng from Amegakure... However, Nagato has no intention of doing that!
It depends on how Minato arranges it then. He is a very adaptable man!
On a deserted island adjacent to Land of Water.
After drifting with the tide, the bleeding man finally escaped death and successfully landed ashore.
After bandaging the wound, he leaned awkwardly on the rocks on the shore. Thinking back to Land of Waves's experience, he felt a rare palpitation in his life, which made him feel horrified after having licked blood from the knife edge for many years.
Who would have thought that that little-known kid would suddenly use that terrifying Wood Release ninjutsu...
Who is he? At that level, how could he be Genin...
"Wow!" The sea tide rose and fell... Among them, there seemed to be a rhythmic sound of footsteps. No, it was not footsteps. The clicking sound was like a wooden stick tapping the ground.
The man was keenly aware that the sea breeze had brought some bad things over.
He stood with two fingers in awe, and the fog quickly filled the air. He held the handle of the giant scroll blade beside him and was fully alert.
A man wrapped in a red cloud cloak, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, walked towards the waves.
The deep words came from under his evil ghost Prajna mask.
"Nice to meet you, Blood Mist's Explosive Demonic Man, Lord of Explosive Blade Shibuki, Zabuza Momochi..."
Zabuza stood with his sword in hand and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you!!!"
The man stood still, and cold words came from under the mask again. "Wield your explosive knife·Shibuki, attack me with all your strength, if you lose, surrender to me!"
"That's unreasonable! You just don't know what you mean...!!!!!"
Zabuza, attack with a sword...!!
