Only with Jiraiya's guidance could he more easily meet the Third Hokage.
Jiraiya hastily wiped his face: "When did you get back?"
Orochimaru gave him a disdainful look: "Hurry up, I have important information."
Oh?
Jiraiya responded with a puzzled sound, and his unrestrained expression became somewhat restrained.
Since it was important information that Orochimaru had mentioned, he naturally dared not neglect it.
He led Orochimaru all the way to the Hokage Building.
The third generation has been working late into the night recently, so he should be there at this time.
Orochimaru followed closely behind Jiraiya along the way, attracting the attention of many members of the Anbu.
Seeing that Jiraiya was leading the way, they shifted their attention.
Jiraiya, unusually, entered the Hokage Building through the main gate.
Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, he still pushed the door open and entered directly.
The third generation looked up and saw that it was Jiraiya leading his people.
No wonder we came in through the main entrance.
Seeing that no one was inside, Jiraiya slammed the door shut.
Orochimaru sized up the Third Hokage a few times, then said in his hoarse voice:
"Old man, you're getting old."
The Third Hokage could tell from his expression that this was undoubtedly Orochimaru.
He shook his head upon hearing this: "Too many things to do, I have no choice but to do them."
"What happened with Kabuto Yakushi?"
Orochimaru shrugged: "I've been investigating other information lately and haven't contacted him. Kabuto's actions were probably Kawasaki's idea."
The third generation nodded, having also anticipated that it was Kawasaki's doing, using the same methods as before.
"Why didn't you come sooner? If you had been here, Danzo wouldn't have been able to escape."
Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "The information I have obtained is more important and is enough to repay your favor."
"Whether Danzo runs away or not is no longer important."
"Um..."
The Third Hokage frowned, and even when Danzo escaped, Orochimaru seemed indifferent.
What information did Orochimaru obtain that allowed him to directly offset old debts?
Orochimaru didn't keep them in suspense and whispered, "Confirmed news: the Fourth Mizukage is dead, and Isobu is gone too. The Six-Tails, Utakata, has defected."
The third-generation pipe nearly slipped from his grasp: "What did you say?!"
Jiraiya didn't react for a moment: "Old man, is it really that serious?"
The Third Hokage coughed, thinking to himself, "This Jiraiya really has no political sense whatsoever."
Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya and continued speaking to the Third Hokage: "Kawasaki has already sold this information to Kumogakure."
"Oops!"
The third generation instantly understood everything.
"Old man, consider this information as a favor. I'll take my leave now."
Orochimaru finished speaking and prepared to leave.
"Orochimaru." The Third Hokage's voice came.
Where are you currently staying?
Orochimaru turned around: "Currently, I am a guest of honor of the Uchiha clan."
His eyes were full of confidence, mockery, and amusement.
The third generation nodded: "Understood. How can I contact you next time?"
Orochimaru waved his hand: "I'll come to you if I need anything. You should worry about Kumogakure first, old man."
...
The country of soup.
The place where Hidan was buried.
About two meters underground, a head covered in mud and resembling a mummified corpse murmured in the soil.
The surrounding mud blocked his speech, making it impossible for him to speak clearly.
It was Hidan who was beaten into a pulp by Kawasaki.
He is protected by an evil god and is immortal.
His body can regenerate very slowly, and he used to stitch up his wounds when he was injured.
It is easy to regenerate.
But this time he was in trouble, as he was smashed into a pulp by Kawasaki's Susanoo with two punches.
It took several years for his head to recover.
His body recovered more slowly, mainly because his body was not placed with his head.
He currently has extremely weak sensation in his body...
Without the brain's command, the body recovers much more slowly.
So Hidan is now chewing on the dirt while struggling to dig towards his own body.
But his strength wasn't inexhaustible; if he didn't regain his body soon, he would eventually rot in this pit.
Wait until I get out!
I have to offer you up to the evil god!
Hidan's eyes were bloodshot, and he took another big bite of dirt in front of him.
......
The land of water.
Inside the building in Kirigakure.
Mei Terumi has received a reply from Kawasaki.
What does Kawasaki mean by this?
Did he know that Yagura was dead?
During this period, almost the entire Anbu of Kirigakure was mobilized.
They were single-mindedly focused on eliminating the spies who had gone to Kirigakure to gather intelligence.
To demonstrate Kirigakure's strength, Mei Terumi not only nearly emptied the village's ANBU forces, but also sent out her personal guard.
At this critical juncture, we must maintain absolute secrecy.
Kawasaki's reply made her uneasy, and she could only barely suppress her anxiety.
Before becoming the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi harbored the most beautiful wish: to change the nightmare of the Village of Blood Mist.
Completely renovate the entire Hidden Mist Village.
However, after sitting on the throne of the Mizukage, Mei Terumi discovered that things were far from simple.
To become the Mizukage, one needs not only strong political skills but also substantial power.
Otherwise, it could easily have led to the current situation.
Many people are dissatisfied with Mei, even though she possesses two bloodline limits, but this only foreshadows future hope.
She is not yet able to control the entire Kirigakure like Yagura Karatachi.
Now that the Uchiha clan has risen to power and is holding Konoha back, Mei Terumi received news from elsewhere.
The conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan has reached an irreconcilable point.
Once Konoha is in trouble, the Hidden Cloud Kingdom, which loves to launch surprise attacks, can easily invade the Hidden Mist Village.
If news of Yagura's death were to leak out, Kirigakure would be in grave danger.
If the first letter aroused Mei Terumi's doubts, then the second letter confirmed that the Uchiha clan did indeed possess some information.
Because Kirigakure was far from the Uchiha clan, by the time the second letter was received, Kirigakure had already repelled many spies.
In the second letter, Kawasaki said that the Uchiha had formed an elite squad that would accept any form of employment, including war missions.
Mei Terumi didn't know where things had gone wrong, but she still remembered what the Uchiha had said.
In case of a critical situation, this can serve as a fallback plan.
......
The land of wind.
Since they were not far apart, Yashamaru and his group quickly returned to Sunagakure.
Yashamaru first met with the Kazekage, Rasa.
He relayed Kawasaki's words and handed the letter to Rasa.
Luo Sha unfolded the letter and read it aloud.
After a moment, he frowned: "What exactly is Kawasaki trying to do?"
Rasa handed the letter directly to Yashamaru.
Yashamaru frowned upon seeing this.
The letter stated that Kawasaki had obtained evidence and knew who had killed the Third Kazekage.
When asked if Sunagakure was interested in cooperating, Kawasaki requested that Chiyo come and talk to him.
