Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
Secret Meeting with Orochimaru
Only Kuroto was aware of the instantaneous excitement that radiated across Shinno's face as only the Tenseigan had such insight to be able to capture such micro and nano expressions, others including Itachi who had yet to awaken the Sharingan were unaware of this change.
Kuroto who realized this, pondered in his heart.
‘Why is Shinno so happy when he realizes the presence of Orochimaru and Jiraya? The fact that Orochimaru defected from Konoha is already world-famous. He and Jiraiya also appeared here at almost the same time, when their group arrived here, but this did not affect their current situation. No real help came….
Unless... unless...., unless Shinno is sure Orochimaru and Jiraya will join forces to help us deal with Cloud Ninja…?
But if that was the case, how could he be sure that Orochimaru, a defector ninja, would help?
Clearly, he knew that the Cloud Village was hunting him right now, so why did he insist on coming to the Lightning country?
Hires Konoha ninja to escort him, without even hiding his real name. Does that mean he wants to provoke a conflict between Konoha and Cloud? And if that was his goal, was he confident that he could escape unscathed from all of this?
Could it…?
Orochimaru appearing here at this exact time was not just a coincidence? Does that mean Orochimaru hiding in Ta-no-Kuni is the Trump Card?
Does he work for Orochimaru!? No, at most Shinno was chunin level; and right now Orochimaru would not take subordinates who would be a burden to him. So the best explanation is that there must be some kind of cooperative relationship between the two!’
Combining observable information with her faint memories, Kuroto quickly got an answer.
But after all, the appearance of Orochimaru and Jiraiya by chance was a turning point for Kuroto. If Orochimaru really cooperated with Shinn, then he would not ignore Shinno, nor would Jiraya allow the Konoha Ninja to be killed by Cloud Ninja before him.
As soon as his mind changed, Kuroto immediately put her hand behind him and gestured to Itachi.
Upon seeing it, Itachi quickly issued a Konoha signal beacon for help and fired it high into the sky.
Whiiiistle…
Accompanied by the explosion, the signal flare detonated three clouds of red smoke in the air.
In fact, the firing signal beacon is a bit unnecessary. When Kuroto and the others found Orochimaru and Jiraiya, they also found Kuroto and the others, and quietly stopped fighting and rushed towards Kuroto and the others.
Immediately, one after another, Orochimaru and Jiraiya appeared in front of Kuroto and the others.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Orochimaru spoke in a hoarse voice and smiled grimly: “I did not expect to meet Jinchuriki from Cloud Village here. I think I got something today! ”
Jiraya also said anxiously, “Don't be stupid, Orochimaru, it will cause war!”
Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya, and turned his gaze away from Matatabi Jinchuriki Cloud, and glanced at Kuroto and his group, stopping at Kuroto and Itachi respectively, and finally falling on Shinno's body, revealing a playful smile.
On Cloud's side, as Orochimaru and Jiraiya appeared one after another, Cloud's ninja no longer had the composure before, and the three Cloud Ninja traveling with Jinchuriki were even agitated now.
Unlike Hyuga Kuroto, who barely attempted to survive the war, and Itachi's son who had yet to gain his reputation, Orochimaru and Jiraiya's fame was achieved through countless battles, the trials of life and death. Even if the cloud shinobi was arrogant before, but now after seeing the two arrive at the same time, obviously, they did not dare to be arrogant anymore.
“It's not over!”
Seeing that nothing could be done, Jinchuriki left behind empty words and firmly led the team to retreat.
Orochimaru had absolutely no intention of pursuing them, clearly the threat from Jinchuriki was completely ignored.
Seeing Cloud Ninja taking the initiative to retreat, Jiraya at the side also let out a long sigh.
Kuroto moved the guard object from Cloud Ninja to Orochimaru, and asked doubtfully, “Master Jiraiya, do you need our help?”
Officially, Orochimaru was a defector ninja of Konoha. On the surface, Kuroto who was a Konoha ninja naturally had to make a clear stand.
Kuroto also just asked for a formality, and she stopped talking after hearing this, and immediately left with Itachi and Shinno.
After experiencing this storm, the three of them became even more cautious. They passed through all the cities and had no dealings with anyone. When facing a flat, open, and unobstructed terrain, they even turn to day and night trips.
With great care, the three Kuroto finally arrived at their destination safely a week later.
The village is suffering from a plague, and the scenery is full of depression, and indeed there is a villager who claims to have written a letter asking Shinno to come to the village to cure the plague.
As for Shinn's identity, Kuroto already knew, so he pretended not to notice anything, and completed a B-level escort mission.
On the way home, Itachi looked back at the village behind him, and whispered: “Captain, there is a problem with Shinno's.”
“I know, but it's none of our business.”
After hesitating for a bit, Itachi said, “I don't know if it's my illusion. I always felt that he was hostile towards us Konoha.”
Kuroto looked at Itachi in surprise, and said, “Maybe it is.”
The Sky Village was destroyed by Konoha, so it was natural for Shinno to antagonize Konoha.
Kuroto can judge Shinno's identity due to the memories of his previous life, but Itachi has a keen intuition at such a young age, which really surprises Kuroto.
While camping at night, Kuroto notices that there is a signal Orochimaru left behind on a big tree not far away, and he knows that Orochimaru is calling him, so he casually made an excuse and quietly came to the place indicated.
As soon as Kuroto arrived, Orochimaru's figure walked out of the shadows.
As usual, Kuroto greeted with respect, “Orochimaru-sama.”
Orochimaru looked at Kuroto with interest, and then said after a while: “Kuroto-kun, the feeling you gave me this time seems different from before.”
Kuroto replied calmly: “Thanks to your help, I almost died at the hands of the village. Therefore, I look a little different.”
The corner of Orochimaru's lips curved: “A blessing in disguise, huh? Then you should thank Shimura Danzo.”
“Does that mean Shimura Danzo is in charge of that cleaning?”
“Well, I overestimated his skills and underestimated his methods.” Orochimaru looked ordinary as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him at all.
Kuroto hesitantly said: “It looks like you must have snatched something she really wanted for herself.”
Orochimaru did not deny it, but smiled: “Yes, it is indeed a very good baby.”
After confirming his guess, Kuroto did not continue the investigation, but took the initiative to change the subject, and asked gently: “That's... Shinno too…? Dealing with you, right?”
Orochimaru glanced at Kuroto because of his question, “I can't even hide this from you, it looks like you really have made some progress from before.”
Kuroto shook his head to remain humble: “He has revealed too many flaws, let alone me, even the little man Uchiha realized something was wrong with Shinno.”
With a smile without commitment, Orochimaru said, “He stole some secrets about physical regeneration from the Cloud, which greatly helped my current research field.”
“So, no wonder Cloud sent such a powerful team of pursuers!”
Seeing Kuroto seem very interested in Physical Regeneration, Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, “Kuroto-Kun, if you are interested, I can also consider giving you a copy of the research results.”
