On the contrary, Jiraiya was bound by emotions, and it was absolutely impossible for him to kill Yi Shuihan with his own hands. Severely injuring Orochimaru was already his limit, and this was under the premise that he knew that even if he used all his strength, he could not defeat Orochimaru in one go.

"Can you listen to me say one sentence?"

Yi Shuihan suddenly interjected.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru both looked over at the same time, showing that they both attached great importance to Yi Shuihan.

"Actually, Orochimaru is now one of my people at the Myriad Worlds Hot Spring Resort. The work he does is arranged by me. It's impossible for him to return to Konoha with you. I'm just stating my position: anyone who tries to take Orochimaru without my permission is going against me. As for what will happen if you go against me, I won't go into details. You can think about it yourselves."

Yi Shuihan's words surprised Orochimaru, but were a devastating blow to Jiraiya. The worst thing he had ever imagined had happened. With Yi Shuihan's connection to Orochimaru, he was no longer the same Orochimaru. He no longer needed to care about his status as a rogue ninja.

Looking at Orochimaru with a complicated expression, Jiraiya was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.

In fact, Jiraiya didn't just find out Orochimaru's whereabouts recently. The reason he didn't come looking for Orochimaru before was because he knew that even if he found Orochimaru, he wouldn't be able to make Orochimaru turn back. He would only feel embarrassed if he couldn't bear to kill Orochimaru.

The reason I came here today is because I heard that almost all the ninjas in the ninja world are looking for Orochimaru. Orochimaru is in a very dangerous situation. Rather than letting someone else find him first, I would rather bring Orochimaru back to Konoha first, which would be a way to save Orochimaru's life.

After all, things are different now than before. What Orochimaru has researched is very important, and perhaps the higher-ups in Konoha will take this into consideration and spare Orochimaru's life.

"Orochimaru, you'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, Jiraiya turned and left, looking somewhat dejected and seemingly quite lonely.

"Is this really a good idea? I'm afraid it won't be long before the whole world knows about it?"

"So what? That's the effect I wanted. Or do you think there's something wrong with becoming one of my people?"

"How could that be? I've wanted to join your ranks for a long time."

Orochimaru wore an unpleasant smile, but his eyes were filled with excitement. This was the first time Yi Shuihan had publicly declared that he would protect him.

After Jiraiya left, he did not hide what Yi Shuihan had said. In fact, he even fueled the fire and spread the news far and wide, so that the entire ninja world would immediately learn that Orochimaru had joined the Myriad Worlds Hot Spring.

This news immediately caused a stir throughout the entire ninja world.

Those who were searching for Orochimaru all fell silent, as if they had been frightened, and began to observe.

Konoha once again became the center of the world, and everyone who understood what the new weapon represented turned their attention to the Multiverse Hot Spring Resort.

The other four major nations immediately contacted Minato Namikaze, demanding that he accompany them to see Yi Shuihan, hoping that Yi Shuihan would hand over Orochimaru.

"Everyone, the Myriad Realms Hot Spring Resort does not belong to Konoha, and we have no right to demand that they do anything. If you want to go find Yi Shuihan, we do not object, but Konoha will not go there."

Minato Namikaze looked at the four Kage with a wry smile. He was told to go and cause trouble for Yi Shuihan. Putting aside Yi Shuihan's strength, it was impossible for him to do so based on their relationship. Just a few days ago, his family had extended their lifespan with the help of Yi Shuihan's dragon blood.

Minato Namikaze didn't want to get involved in the private affairs, and from Konoha's perspective, they couldn't interfere either. The Myriad Worlds Hot Spring Resort was located in Konoha, so Konoha knew the resort best. Not to mention Yi Shuihan, just those employees were beyond their ability to handle. Even if the five great nations joined forces to attack, they wouldn't be able to win.

“We, the five great nations, are now united as one. You cannot withdraw from this alliance. Otherwise, we will question Konoha’s stance.”

The Third Tsuchikage spoke slowly and deliberately. As someone who had fought against Yi Shuihan, he understood Yi Shuihan's terrifying nature better than anyone else. If it weren't for the fact that those so-called firearms were enough to shake the foundation of ninjas, he would never have stood on the opposite side of Yi Shuihan.

The reason for dragging Konoha into this mess, and even letting Konoha take the lead, was entirely to divert Yi Shuihan's attention. After all, Yi Shuihan's woman is Tsunade, and given that he has been in Konoha for so long, he certainly wouldn't go so far as to kill them all. And if they were just accomplices, they wouldn't be in much danger.

"Is this what a cowardly Hokage is like? I'm ashamed to be ranked alongside you," the Fourth Raikage said disdainfully.

As a muscular man, he was extremely confident in his own strength and did not believe that Yi Shuihan was as strong as rumored. Even if Yi Shuihan had defeated three Shadows in the past, so what? He had surpassed his father and become a stronger being. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would win!

Similarly, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was somewhat dismissive. As the possessor of two bloodline limits, especially the bloodline limits of Lava Release and Boil Release, which are extremely destructive, her long-term victories had made her believe that there could not possibly be anyone in the world stronger than her.

"My becoming Hokage was the choice of the villagers, and the title of Hokage is not something to be compared with yours."

Minato Namikaze spoke calmly, and the smile on his face disappeared. Even a kind-hearted person would get angry if he was looked down upon like this. The fact that he didn't lose his temper on the spot was already a testament to his good temper.

"Let's go! I refuse to believe that we can't force Yi Shuihan to compromise with our strength. At worst, we'll start a war. Does he really think he'll continue to be so defiant in the face of our four great ninja villages?"

The Fourth Raikage said loudly, having completely given up on the idea of ​​joining forces with Konoha to deal with the hot spring resort. Without Konoha, their strength was already sufficient. Could a mere hot spring resort really defy the heavens?

Chapter 462, The Four Great Ninja Villages Visit the Hot Spring Resort

The five great ninja villages—no, I should say the four ninja villages other than Konoha—gathered a group of ninjas and headed aggressively towards the hot spring resort.

Considering this is Konoha, and the hot spring resort is rumored to be very strong, most of the people who came this time are at least Kage level, with only a few below Kage level, but they all have unique secret techniques or special identities.

There were about forty people, with about ten from each ninja village. It's really thanks to Yi Shuihan's hot springs that we have so many Kage-level ninjas. Otherwise, like in the original story, each village would only have three or four Kage-level ninjas.

With so many ninjas, and clearly not from this village, heading straight for the hot springs, they naturally attracted onlookers who pointed and whispered among themselves.

"What are they going to do? They have such a terrifying aura. Even from a distance, you can feel an extremely strong sense of oppression."

"Isn't the leader the Fourth Raikage? I heard that he is stronger than his father, the Third Raikage, and can even suppress the Eight-Tails."

"Next to the Fourth Raikage is the Third Tsuchikage. I was fortunate enough to pass by him once. Don't let his age fool you, his strength is truly unfathomable."

"That's the Fourth Kazekage, and that one over there... could she be the legendary Fifth Mizukage? She really is a great beauty."

"That's the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and it's said that each of them is at the Kage level."

"Thunder Force, the Thunder Shadow Guard that only true elites can join."

"..."

As more and more people's identities were recognized, it caused a series of exclamations. Some people who did not know the truth even thought that the other four ninja villages were going to attack Konoha, and they were filled with panic.

Fortunately, Konoha's Anbu also began to maintain order at this time, and the purpose of the Allied Forces of the Four Great Ninja Villages gradually became known to the people around them, causing another uproar.

The Myriad Realms Hot Spring Resort—what kind of place is that? Those who don't know it are aware that it's a sacred place for all martial artists, and those who do know how terrifying it is. Even an ordinary employee there is a powerhouse far surpassing the Kage level.

"This is going to be interesting. I wonder if the four great ninja villages can handle the hot springs."

"Let's go take a look; it might just be an epic battle!"

"Aren't you afraid of getting caught in the crossfire? In those kinds of battles, it's not safe to be even a few hundred meters apart!"

"Hehe, I'm just an elite Jonin, barely at the Kage level, but I'm still confident I can run."

"You're actually an elite Jonin. You really can't judge a book by its cover. But I'm not much better. Although I'm just a Jonin, I've practiced ninjutsu for 10 years, so I'm fairly confident I can escape from a Kage-level opponent."

Not far away, a woman pulled her curious child several dozen meters away before admonishing him, "Don't trust strangers when you're out. Like those two guys just now, I've seen them before, they're not Jonin at all."

"Grandma, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, those two are the ones I told you about before, the two biggest swindlers in Konoha. If you believe them and try to talk to them, you'll definitely be swindled out of everything. Remember, stay far away from them in the future."

While the women were educating their children, a young man approached the two con artists with an expression of admiration. After some unknown conversation, the young man took out all the money he had. In the end, the two con artists gave him a scroll that looked somewhat new, leaving the young man standing there grinning foolishly.

"Another one who got scammed. They really thought the secret technique was so easy to obtain. I've seen that scroll dozens of times. You can buy 100 scrolls for 1 tael of silver on the next street. Have the IQs of people from other villages dropped to this level now?"

An old man looked at the grinning young man with pity, but didn't go over to warn him.

Putting aside this little incident, the allied forces of the four ninja villages finally arrived at the Myriad Worlds Hot Spring Resort.

Due to limited spots, even though countless people want to enter the hot spring resort, there are still very few people here. In addition, most people who come here go directly to soak in the hot spring and do not linger outside. So when people arrive, all they see is Might Guy doing push-ups and Rao not far away, who is striking a special pose with his eyes closed, seemingly contemplating something.

"What's the matter with you?"

Matt Day was slightly surprised to see so many people here. He hadn't expected them to be looking for trouble. In his mind, it was a blessing if they didn't cause trouble for others; how could anyone possibly come looking for a beating?

Is Yi Shuihan there?

The Fourth Raikage's tone wasn't very friendly, or rather, in his mind, he was there to demand an explanation, so naturally he wouldn't be polite.

"My boss isn't here. If you need anything, you can talk to me first. I can usually handle most things."

Might Guy wasn't angry at the Fourth Raikage's tone; instead, he smiled and said...

"Not here?"

The Fourth Raikage frowned slightly. With the main character absent, he felt as if he had punched a cotton ball.

The Third Tsuchikage had been tense from the start, but upon hearing Might Guy's reply and realizing that Yi Shuihan was not present, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's actually a good thing that that pervert isn't around! Although we definitely won't achieve our goal today, why do I suddenly feel like this is for the best?

"Is it true that Orochimaru is protected by your boss?"

While the Fourth Raikage was frowning in thought, Mei Terumi suddenly asked a question.

"Orochimaru?"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's question, Might Guy's face clearly showed surprise. He really didn't know about this, since Yi Shuihan usually wouldn't tell him about his relationship with Orochimaru.

Just as Matt Damon was about to answer that he didn't know, Rao spoke up.

"If you're talking about that disgusting guy with snake eyes, then he is indeed under the boss's protection."

Rao first met Yi Shuihan at Orochimaru's place, so he naturally knew about the relationship between Yi Shuihan and Orochimaru.

"and who are you?"

"Me? Just an unknown employee at the hot spring resort. You can call me Rao."

"Unknown, indeed, no one I've ever heard of. But I've heard that anyone who works here is quite capable. I wonder how strong you are?"

The one who asked the question was the Fourth Kazekage, and he was clearly using a provocative tone.

Chapter 463, Rao vs. Sand Ninja

Because of Yi Shuihan's guidance, Orochimaru did not embark on the path of researching reincarnation, nor did he carry out the Konoha Crush plan. Therefore, the Fourth Kazekage was not killed by Orochimaru. However, it seems that this kid has a personality that likes to court death, and he has provoked Raoh, whom even Orochimaru dares not provoke now.

Rao hadn't been looking at the Fourth Kazekage at first, but after the Fourth Kazekage said that, his attention was drawn to him.

He looked the Fourth Kazekage up and down, as if assessing the Fourth Kazekage's strength.

When the Fourth Kazekage saw Raoh looking over, he immediately raised his head slightly, looking very imposing.

However, just three seconds later, Rao shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "What gives you the courage to talk to me like that? With your insignificant strength?"

"Insignificant...strength?"

The Fourth Kazekage was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Yi Shuihan, while the Sand Village people behind him began to shout.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that. How dare you look down on Lord Kazekage? Are you provoking our Sand Village?"

"Apologizing won't help; you have to pay the price."

"Considering he works at the hot spring resort, let's just cripple him."

The people of Sunagakure were making a huge fuss, as if they would rush over and tear Rao to pieces the moment the Fourth Hokage uttered a single word about sealing Rasa.

The people from the other ninja villages remained silent, watching the whole thing with amusement. After all, they weren't fools. Since the Sand Village was going to take the lead, let them test the waters at the hot spring resort.

"Rao, after all, they are the Kazekage. You should be a little more tactful in your words. Although his strength is indeed very poor, you shouldn't say it so directly!"

Matt Day said to Rao with a hint of reproach.

What Matt Day didn't notice was the way everyone looked at him after he said those words.

Honest people are dishonest! They've learned to insult people indirectly now.

Rao looked at Might Day strangely. He could tell that Might Day didn't mean anything by saying that, but others wouldn't believe him.

"I understand. In the future, I will definitely not be so blunt, considering the other person's feelings."

Rao replied as if he had learned something.

"you……"

"Magnetic Escape: Shattered Glass"

In his rage, Luo Sha had no time to consider anything else; he had only one thought in mind: to kill the two despicable men in front of him.

The golden sand appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Rao and Mighty at an extremely fast speed, 360 degrees, leaving no gaps.

However, both Matt Damon and Rao made the same choice, throwing a punch directly at Jinsha.

"boom"

Before you could even see an afterimage of the arm, you saw two huge fist imprints shatter the golden sand.

Luo Sha still wanted to salvage the situation, so he manipulated the golden sand to continue to gather.

"A-da-da-da-da..."

Might Guy let out a roar similar to Bruce Lee and Kenshiro, and kept punching, leaving fist marks on the golden sand until it was completely reduced to invisible dust.

And because he punched so fast, he created a small storm that blew away the golden sand next to Rao.

"Such fast punches, such powerful punches."

Everyone looked at Might Guy with solemn expressions. Rasa's strength wasn't the strongest present, but it was definitely not comparable to ordinary Kage-level opponents. And before, very few people could do what Might Guy did with such ease in his attacks.

Of course, many people also noticed Rao. Rao didn't make any moves afterward, but the punch he threw at the beginning was no weaker than Might Guy's. Judging from his ease, his strength was probably also extremely strong.

"Since you attacked first, it's only natural for me to retaliate!"

Might Guy was about to say something, but Rao stopped him. Since he had nothing else to do, it would be good to stretch his muscles.

Even though they were walking straight towards each other, Rao seemed strangely absent, giving off a very unreal feeling.
